I've heard about Lu's many times but just never got a chance to go.. I ended up getting it doordashed today and it did not disappoint!! I got the grilled pork banh mi with extra pickled carrots and daikon, no mayo no pate and oh my gosh.. let's get into it. The bread is fresh af. The outside is light and crunchy and somehow yet the inside is so soft and pillowy and also light.. just wow. The grilled pork was cut into perfect bites sized pieces so I wasn't tearing meat or taking awkward bites. Also cooked well and juicy. The veggies were awesome too. I got a side of the fish sauce to add and that made it perfect. I also got the pork and shrimp spring rolls. Honestly these were also incredible i dipped them in the dish sauce. Will definitely get again!

Grilled pork banh mi hit the spot for what I was craving before the drive I had ahead. It's cool how it's a chain store here in Minneapolis similar to Lee's back in LA though they specialize more in just banh mi's here I think. I wish there was a greater ratio of daikon radish and filling to bread since the baguette was quite thick and so a little out of balance but I liked that there were options on what you wanted added to your banh mi. Service was very quick since it's a walk up and order. Ambiance given the location was pretty similar to a sandwich shop with students and families there. Definitely would feel awkward eating here along though so I took it to go. Would consider trying this again with friends though!

I finally tried Lu's! I was going to a Vietnamese dinner party and I got take out. Wow. So good!! I can see why people love this place. Great service. We got 3 large vegan curry tofu banh mi, and they were able to cut it into smaller pieces for the party. Vegetable egg rolls and pork egg rolls. Everything was a huge hit. I was impressed with the flavors, the light crispiness of the egg rolls, the delicious veggies and curry tofu on the great bread. I loved it. I will 100% be back!

I was so excited to have Lu's today because I thought they had the best banh mi in the twin cities, unfortunately today, they changed my mind. I ordered the grilled pork banh mi and my grilled pork was very dry and not as flavorful since the last time I had it. They do give a good amount of jalapenos and veggies but the meat was lacking. The bread was pretty good, crispy and light. The servers were fine, not friendly, just a 'matter of fact' type attitude.

Update: The mock duck bahn mi is still my favorite here. I like that the bread is softer. I also ordered pork egg rolls with dipping sauce. I never find street parking and always park in the back lot. The back entrance is nasty with clutter and supplies and a dirty door. So, it's not the best first impression. I ordered my bahn mi large, so I had 2 meals from it. Reheats well in chef Mike.

Thumbs up! Sandwiches are made very well. Beef and grilled chicken. Nice size and you feel like it's a good value. Had a bowl and again, very good. Spring rolls were hefty and tasty. The accompanying peanut sauce didn't taste like homemade but I'm not sure. Overall it was a good experience, service was fast and courteous at the counter. Come on and let's support this place. They're doing things right.
