Mi Sant

Nice spot for lunch.My wife and I were near Rosedale and decided to stop for lunch. I had never been before but I drive by every day on my way to work.I had a Banh Mi sandwich. My wife had the lemon grass chicken bowl. We shared an order of spring rolls. Everything was delish. The spring rolls were especially good.I also liked that there were at least a few decent vegetarian options including a tofu banh mi, which I ordered. Depending on your appetite, the sandwich was big enough to share.You order at the counter and get buzzed when your foods ready. Seating was open with many large tables to share. In addition to savory fare they offered a variety of pastries, tea and coffee drinks. I'll have to come back sometime and order the Vietnamese coffee with an almond croissant.

This is a self-service restaurant with a very convenient ordering system that includes a lot of customizable options, which I really appreciate. For example, you can request no cilantro or carrots in your food, and you can adjust the ice or sugar levels in your drinks.The menu offers traditional and classic Vietnamese dishes, along with a few special house options. The food is delicious--the rice in the bowl is flavorful, and the bulgogi beef is excellent! The spring roll order includes three rolls, making it more of a dinner portion rather than just a shared appetizer.The restaurant has a spacious layout, including a "greenhouse" section that is warm and sunny, perfect for enjoying your meal in natural light. However, one issue stood out during our visit. While we were eating, a waitress began deep cleaning the area, moving furniture and sweeping, even though the space didn't seem particularly dirty. The loud noise was a bit disruptive to the dining experience. I hope they can improve on this in the future.

I love coming to this place! It's always a reliable option when I'm in the area. The restaurant is well-organized, making it easy to navigate, even during busy times. I do wish they had a drive-through like the one in Brooklyn Park--it would add so much convenience. Another minor suggestion would be adding a second register, as the line tends to get long. That said, the staff does a fantastic job of keeping things moving quickly, so the wait is never too bad.The ordering process is straightforward: you tell the cashier what you want, make your payment, and receive a buzzer. Once your food is ready, the buzzer goes off, and you grab your items. It's efficient and hassle-free.This place is one of the quickest stops for lunch or a snack, and the food never disappoints. I'm a big fan of their lemon chicken sandwich--it's always fresh and flavorful. I also recommend their taro boba with oat milk and less sugar; it's the perfect treat.The tablet area is often full. The workers here are consistently fast, friendly, and professional.Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a quick, tasty, and convenient meal. It's a gem!

Didn't expect to find decent Vietnamese food for a decent price in Minnesota. The bowls were a change of paced from all the fried food I ate during the state fair. It felt amazing to eat fresh greens and protein with the fish sauce vinaigrette. I wish they made the fish sauce with more fish sauce, cuz I personally like mine on the stronger side. They close the outside patio after little before closing so it was difficult to find a table suitable for 7 people. So I would recommend going early so there are more seating area. Would love to come back and give the other bowls a try.

I am obsessed with Mi-Sant. The service is always great and the interior is so aesthetically pleasant. Great place to enjoy a Bible study or coffee date, especially in the morning on the sunny side of the building. The chocolate croissants are always phenomenal (not to mention 3x the size of a Starbucks croissant for a similar price!), and I enjoy the Royal Milk Tea. For lunch or dinner options, the Banh Mi is excellent. Also try the kimchi fries and the cream cheese wontons.

This is the only food place worth a damn over this way. I had an early appt. with Dr. Tareen and I was in the neighborhood. What I really needed was a roll for a sandwich. I didn't need a whole loaf of bread. For 1.25 I got a baguette right out of the oven. I made Basil come in to pick out his own dessert. He got a strawberry and a blueberry cream cheese croissant. Both delicious. Five minutes after 9, the place was hit with customers. My roast beef sandwich at home was delicious. Sometimes all you need is a roll.

It was just after the lunch hour, around 1:20, when I went into Mi Sant Roseville, and it was still busy. There was not a parking spot open in the lot immediately surrounding the restaurant, but luckily, that part of Roseville is filled with interconnected parking lots, and I easily found a spot in the next section. The inside of the space is fine, but has no real ambiance. The outer part of the dining area has big windows, but they just look into the parking lot. It's a fast-casual place, not a place where you sit for an 8 course meal to soak up the vibe.There seemed to be a long-ish line when I walked in, but then I saw that there were fast lane kiosks available that people weren't using. I didn't know what made them fast-lane, but they seemed to have the entire menu available, and you didn't have to wait to order from a cashier. They were your normal tablet ordering system, and they had all of the modification options available. I tend to find bahn mi a bit dry, so I always order them with extra pate, and that option was right there, no searching necessary. Despite the people waiting on line, my order was ready in about 5 minutes (way faster than I expected). I ordered the lemongrass chicken bahn mi (with extra pate, of course) to go. The sandwich came out warm and well-wrapped for transport. The chicken was moist and the jalapenos added flavor but were not overwhelming. The bread was crusty on the outside, soft on the inside, compressible and not too hard (hard bread on a bahn mi is impossible, IMO)About $11 for a good sandwich is a good deal to me. A good trick seems to be to order ahead online, and then skip the line altogether (my plan next time).

Love the little sunroom area. So warm and good vibes. It was so busy, but they work so fast and we got our food quickly. We ordered the special bahn mi. Next time, I'll get the classic, the egg was a little too much for me. The blueberry cruffin was crispy and didn't have any artificial flavor. If you have a sweet tooth, definitely get the cream filled croissants.

Mi-Sant is my favorite local bakery! I really like how they incorporate Vietnamese cuisine and other Asian influences. Their bakery items are so good, too!FoodI haven't tried anything I didn't like. I usually get their spring rolls (enough for a meal for me), bacon-egg-cheese croissant sandwich, and their bang-mi special--it has a fried egg in the sandwich!It's helpful they have a Customer Favorite sign when you order. You can also order at the kiosks. Pick up is also very convenient. Water and utensils is self serve so don't forget to stop by there to grab what you need.ServiceI have always been cared for and have no complaints. It's quick service. AmbianceThink modern farmhouse. Their "porch" area is very popular as it also has variety of seating and plants. I do appreciate the diversity in table seating.ParkingThere is parking available at the front and back of the restaurant. It does get busy during lunch and dinner time, but there hasn't been an issue for me to find parking.

Stopped here for a quick work meeting and got some bubble tea and my coworker got thai tea. Their selection for drinks was wonderful and it was easy to order. I am bummed they don't have any dairy free baked goods. Plenty of seating, I loved the sun room!
