Mi-Sant Banh Mi Co.

Really great place for croissants and banh mi. Any croissant flavor is delicious. For banh mi, my go tos are the tofu or the mi sant special. I usually take my order to go (there's a drive-through window), but the inside does have table and countertop seating. The Vietnamese coffee and coconut coffee are also divine and highly recommended if you are going for breakfast.

Recently when I order the bowls as a salad (rather than with rice or noodles) the bowls are more than half empty. Rather than add a scoop of salad (because you ordered salad rather than rice or noodles), they seem to be taking OUT a scoop of salad. This has happened several times in the last month.

Have u ever seen a Banh Mi drive thru??? If you need a fix of delicious flaky big croissants and the perfect Banh mi sandwich then this is your place!! The baguette is perfection like in France - not to crusty but just made perfectly the Minsant special is soo good!! Service was great - we chose to eat in and the strawberry matcha latte was not bad either

I ordered catering for 12 classic v Bahn mi. Taste was very dry with the meat being very inconsistent. Some sandwiches had a good amount but most had very little.

I'm so happy my husband found this place on Google Maps! We couldn't decide what to snag for lunch and decided to venture out of our typical go-to spots. Absolutely worth it! We love Bahn mi, and with their in store baked baguette, so amazing! We got the lemongrass chicken, flavor was phenomenal and fresh, but I did feel like it was lacking substance. Meat portion was actually OK, but very little cucumber and carrot. The shrimp spring rolls were fat, each had four medium shrimp in them and plenty of the fresh fillings. We enjoyed both the vinegarette and peanut sauce. We also got kimchi bulgogi fries and they did not disappoint. Vietnamese iced coffee and Matcha Latte were on point. We will have to go back for a croissant and will certainly give the Bahn mi another try. I mean, they do have a drive-through, so bonus points for that.

Best Banh Mi in the twin cities, hands down. I also like their pastries. Overall food, service, and atmosphere are great. However, timing is everything cause the drive up can be busy during their peak hours. Still worth the wait.

Food is always consistent. Always fresh! I ordered the spring rolls, and my hubby had the special bahn mi. On a very hot day, the cool and crispness of the veggies and vermicelli hit the spot.

I recently visited Mi Saint in Brooklyn Park and my experience was disappointing due to the service. The staff was unhelpful and unresponsive to simple requests. For instance, when I asked if they could put the meat on the side for my takeaway, they simply stated it was against their new rules. This lack of flexibility is concerning, especially for a place that claims to prioritize customer satisfaction. I expected better, especially given the quality and price of the food. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this establishment.

We tried the Mi-Sant special bowl with noodles and peanut sauce. As well as the strawberry matcha latte and the passion fruit tea with aloe. The latte was great but I liked the passion fruit tea better. The aloe was good too. The special bowl comes with pork, vegetables, and egg roll and a fried egg. I got it with noodles and it was great. I have also tried the teriyaki chicken bowl and that was just as good. The staff are very nice, helpful and relatable. Getting our food was also pretty quick after ordering. This location is smaller, but still nice and good vibes. They also have a self ordering tablet inside.

The sandwiches are alright here but the service is straight horrible. The people at the drive thru are just absolutely rude. I usually don't mind the rudeness because everyone can have a bad day once in awhile and we all know fast food workers have their share of hardships. But 80% of the time I go to the drive thru, they are attitudes thrown in all different directions. When I go inside though, the cashier inside is always so sweet. I don't know what or who be giving the drive thru cashier a hard time but I hope they get better training. They dropped my change and didn't apologize. They snatch money or my card out my hand like it's theirs and they're mad because I've been holding on to it for years. They only words they ever say to me at the actual window is the price of my order. Literally just ... "it's X amount" then snatch, then give back. I'm sorry but who hurt y'all?

Never in my life have I seen a banh mi spot with a drive thru! There were plenty of parking spaces available if you wanted to dine inside. We ordered the lemongrass chicken and grilled pork banh mi. The lemongrass chicken was a bit underwhelming with less chicken compared to the grilled pork. The grilled pork banh mi though!!!! I highly recommend. I absolutely loved the charcoal flavor from the grilled pork and the depth of flavor! The bread was a bit rough, but overall this is a solid spot for some banh mi! I just wish it was closer to me!

There is a new Mi-Sant in town and this one is right off of 252 and 85th St. in Brooklyn Park. Although this was my first visit, it won't be the last. We ordered a the Mi-Sant Special Bahn Mi ($9.00) which contains grilled pork, char siu, and fried egg. My wife had the Teriyaki Chicken Bahn Mi ($7.00). In addition to the protein, all sandwiches come with mayonnaise, jalapeño, cilantro, cucumber, pickled daikons and carrots. You can also ask for pate to be added. To drink, I had a bottle (no fountain pop) of Diet Coke ($2.50) and my wife had a Thai tea ($3.75). That this is a really cute, well-lit, cheery place with excellent decor. Vietnamese and other Asian restaurants can be designer-challenged, but this one is very attractive. The first thing you notice when you get your order is that these Bahn Mi's are HUGE. I think you could easily split one and feel two people. My wife took half home, but of course I ate the whole thing (not that I should have). The second thing you notice is how amazing the baguette is. It shatters on the outside when you bite into it, yet the inside is fluffy and soft. This is exactly what you want to see. The third thing you notice is that fillings are flavorful, fresh, and the veggies add the right amount of crunch. It is very well proportioned. The egg in my "Special" is billed as being fried, but it seemed like a hard boiled egg to me. I would have liked it to be a bit softer and give me the creamy (but not drippy) sensation of a medium cooked egg. Small quibble. I also ordered three crispy pork-filled Vietnamese-style eggs rolls for $5. This was a good value and they delivered the right texture and flavor. Instead of the sweet and sour sauce that comes with it, I'd rather have the classic Vietnamese Dipping Sauce with fish sauce, (Nước chấm). It's possible they would do a sauce substitute upon request. On our way out, we got two things from the bakery. One was a three-foot baguette; the kind these use for Bahn Mi sandwiches. It was a bargain at $3.00. We also picked up an almond croissant for $5.95, which also was huge. Almost all items come as a bowl, bahn mi, or a bowl with similar or identical ingredients across "platforms" (think Chipotle). While this is OK, it would be great to see perhaps a few cooked items too.

So delicious and convenient! I love that they have a drive thru. They have such amazing fresh bakery goods and their Banh Mi is AMAZING! I even like their bowls. Highly recommend stopping by and checking this place out. They have their own parking lot and the inside is super cute but is a little small.

One day while getting my oil changed I noticed how busy this place was, so I stopped in right after my oil change and I've been a fan ever since. Electronic payment is preferred, the kiosk is easy to navigate and the space has beautiful decor. I tried the bánh mì, noodle bowls, Vietnamese coffee & a couple pastries. Highly recommend this space if you're looking for some good food!

This place is so so good. Their croissants are so buttery , huge. We tried ones with ube and chocolate. The only thing I wish was that there was more filling. Banh Mi sandwich had amazing fresh bread. Lemon grass chicken was a good choice, next time will have to try another type of meat. The slushy bubble tea was great as well. Prices are fair and staff is friendly . Place looks clean with modern decor.

The Bahn mi is a staple in vietmamese cuisine and MI Sant does not disappoint. The Good: The bánh mì had a nice chewy baguette with excellent marinated pork. The Bad: we ordered extra side vegetables, but they did not taste very pickled. These are probably my favorite sandwiches in Minnesota.

It was a little dry IMO maybe because I didn't eat it until the next day, but it also didn't have pate. The flavor of the meat was good and I like how full it was vs only being filled w veggies. Service was quick- again this was a to go order Plenty of seating area and the dining room was very clean and modern.

I have been here before and knew what to expect- delicious food! We decided to order for take out. I had chosen a specific time for pick up and they were spot on with timing. It was easy to find a parking spot and wasn't too busy for a Friday night. They were nice and helpful in the store! It's a very cute restaurant and would be great to dine in. Pricing was average. We ordered 4 kinds of spring rolls with a variety of dipping sauce. They always hit the spot! The spring rolls are well made and so so delicious. We devoured them. I would highly recommend!

Easy parking and they have a drive thru! I like the emergence of alternative "fast food" options. I swung in here with a friend to give it a try. Order at the counter. They give you a number. When they call your number, grab your food. I ordered the Bulgogi Beef Sandwich, a Side of Veggie Egg Rolls with Peanut Sauce, and a Taro Root Tea. The flavor of everything was solid. Some elements were crunchy and fresh! My only issue was the meat quality was very fatty and chewy. I would come back here for the teas alone. The Taro Milk Tea was subtle and sweet! The egg rolls were tasty and their sauces were great! Ambiance inside could be likened to Noodles, Chipotle, or other similar chain. It was decently busy on a Tuesday around dinner, but still plenty of room to sit and there didn't seem to be a wait for the drive thru!

I stopped by here based on a friend's recommendation who claimed that this was the best place to get banh mi's in the cities. It is about a 20 min drive from downtown area since it's in Brooklyn Park, but if you make your way out here, you can also stop at Golden Lion grocery store and a bunch of other fun places right next door. I walked in and saw them making loaf after loaf of fresh bread, a bunch of beautiful pastries, and the place smelled lovely. I ended up ordering their "Supreme Banh Mi" which I don't remember exactly what it contained, but it had a few different meats, egg, and all the other usual fixings of cilantro, jalapeños, pickled carrots, etc. WOW. This was the most delicious banh mi I've ever had in my life. And at under $10, there's nothing that beats this! I heard that some of the other banh mi shops in the area but their bread from here so why not cut to the chase and get from here directly. Next time, I want to try some of their pastries, but I think that the Supreme is a must-get and I recommend everyone go out and get one.

I love Mi-Sant. Working in the Brooklyn Center area, your lunch options can be limited. Lots of fast food. I'm so glad Mi-Sant is just a short drive away. It's usually a toss up between the banh mi sandwich or bowl. You really can't go wrong. They have a nice selection of Boba and their pastries...I never leave without taking several pastries to go. The Nutella one is my absolute favorite. The interior is quite a bit smaller than the Roseville location and it gets real busy here. It's a great spot for a lunch with friends or business meeting. They also have a drive thru for a quick stop.

Great little joint. We had some amazing egg croissants, tofu Banh Mi and raisin coconut croissant. Everything was fresh and delicious. Seems like we have discovered a place to get our morning croissants!

Regardless of location you find yourself at... you've reached the pinnacle of Bahn-Mi's. This is where you go if you want a Bahn-Mi that satisfies every single tastebud in your mouth hole. You can't find a bad meal here... EVER. Go hungry, leave happy... and don't forget the awesome drinks!

I love Mi-sant and I always stop by this location because it's on the way home. However one of the egg rolls we ordered had a rock of some sort. Luckily the kids didn't ate that one...

So far everything that I've had from here is pretty good. We've tried a few different banh mi sandwiches, croissants, and coffee. We've only ever ordered to go. But love that they have a drive thru. Wish I had pics to post.

Phenomenal food and coffee. I go there almost every week for coffee and it is always so good. The service is amazingly kind and respectful never once had a wrong order. The restaurant is gorgeous and even the drive thru looks great especially with the outdoor seating. Cannot recommend Mi-Sant enoigh!

The best banh mi! I have yet to find a better place. I love to come and study here when I can, and the drive thru at the Brooklyn Park location is extremely convenient!

Great food , and the best croissants known to mankind , so many to choose from , Nutella, strawberry , almond, and probably 10-12 more kinds.

THE BEST. My go-to order: Mi- Sant special add crispy rolls, Kimchi Fries, Coconut Coffee If you can finish it all, you level up. I normally have to share. It's fantastic.

Customer service and food were incredible! Would definitely visit here again when I'm in town. JUST GO THERE!

Decent food! Only complaint is service can be a bit slow when my order is one banh mi sandwich or their pastry.

This is a staple for my husband and I. I get the tofu spring rolls. My husband gets the tofu Banh Mi sandwich. Don't forget your Blueberry Cream Cheese Croissant or Strawberry Cream Cheese Croissant OR whatever flavor you like!!! They are so delicious when eaten fresh!!! The food is always fresh and tasty. The service is always quick. I love the ambiance for lunch with a friend too!

Great croissants and quick service. An unexpected pleasure in the north suburbs of Saint Paul.

Hands down my new favorite restaurant! Everything was so fresh, the ingredients and the bakery items. Service was very fast even during a busy time. It is a little spendy but you get a large portion size! Staff was all very friendly!

Mi-Sant is a drive-through Vietnamese cafe serving banh mi, rice bowls and coffee drinks. Their vegetable egg rolls ($4.50 for two) are pretty good with a nice filling. Their fries ($3) are also really good: crispy and addictive. The tofu banh mi ($6.50) can be made vegan by omitting the mayo and pate. Mi-Sant gets rave reviews for its banh mi, but this tofu one was merely passable. The bread is good, but the tofu is chewy and wet with a barely-there flavor. If it were stir-fried and seasoned with curry or deep-fried with salt and pepper, it would have been much tastier. While I'm glad you can get vegan banh mi in the suburbs, the best banh mi in the Twin Cities continues to be either Lu's, Jasmine Deli or Trieu Chau.

Drive-thru super convenient - credit/debit card only due to CO-VID19. Note: Spring roll orders cannot be placed via drive-thru, as they take a bit longer to assemble. Ordered a Mi-Sant Special banh mi, a bulgogi banh mi, a taro coconut croissant, an ube (purple yam) croissant, and a long baguette. Requested that the two banh mi sandwiches be cut in half and wrapped as half-and-half orders. The baguette is decent as a base for their banh mi sandwiches. I prefer a chewier crumb and lighter crust personally, and the blandness of this bread was especially apparent in tearing bites off of the long baguette with no sweet or savory filling to compensate. I love the mild taste of unsweetened breads and even white rice, so I swear my taste buds aren't dead. Appreciated the minor detail of adding a sticker tab to keep the baguette bag closed to avoid unnecessary drying, but not enough to buy again. Enjoyed the Mi-Sant Special banh mi. Good balance of flavors and texture. Weird that exactly one slice of jalapeño was in the whole sandwich - I don't care for it personally and expected to pick it out to give to my dining companion anyway, just weird to note. The egg felt like a filler that added only my puzzlement to the experience a few bites in when I remembered its presence in spotting the silky egg white tucked between layers of marinated meat and vibrant veggies. I found the flavors in the bulgogi banh mi less balanced in general and tired of it after my second bite. It also got soggy whereas the Special retained its freshness, which unfortunately affected the bulgogi banh mi appeal more and more as I worked through my half. Better kimchi drainage definitely recommended before assembling. Half of one slice of jalapeño in the whole sandwich. Odd. We split the two croissants as well. Amused that we ordered taro coconut and purple yam, yet the one with purple filling was the one with coconut, so I assume the purple yam was the one with nearly-invisible filling that blended in perfectly with its croissant layers. The fresh pastries were soft and flaky, though surprisingly sticky considering the croissants themselves lacked sweetness - the bites landed between a touch salty and bland. This was far more apparent in the purple yam croissant due to the milder filling. The sweetness in the taro coconut filling contrasted the same pastry dough enough to highlight the fact that the dough lacked sweetness. It would have been a better balance had the filling been a tad less sweet and a touch more sugar been added to the dough, which would add to its moisture content and tenderness as well. The hunt continues for an epic croissant. My favorite local Vietnamese grab-and-go spot remains undefeated.

My friend told me about this place opening in Roseville soft opening. When I went online to check it out I found it they have another one in Brooklyn Park. So I decide to visit this one specially that they have 4.5 stars. The place was busy whether people waiting or driving through. I could see a huge orders been taken out. I saw that they have turtle coconut crush song. I never tried this before. I can tell you one thing it's better than any other coconut cross I had before. Could be the title that was added to it left the croissant moist and crunchy at the same time. It's like magic do I have both. You should I get a dry mouth after some croissant because a lot of water. Here the butter was minimal at not covering the taste of the coconut and the title. No cash which is cleaner. Many families in and out. Easy to get in and out parking. They have a drive-through.

Fast cafe service! Drive through option available in Brooklyn park. Great fresh banh mi and bowls! Modern cafe vibes.

Excellent Banh Mi. Bread is cunchy on the outside and chewy inside. I like extra vedgies on it and no egg. Yet to vear from their mi sant special minus the egg.

Awesome for lunch. My friend and I ordered two different classic Banh Mi and they were amazing. Such a delight over traditional subs like Jimmy John's. Full of flavor including a slight bite from jalapeños. They also have bubble drinks and pastries.

This is one of my top banh mi places in MN! They have a wide variety of banh mi and bowls you can customize. I've tried their cold cut and nem nuong banh mi, both were so good and very filling. They put a lot of meat in veggies in their banh mi. I also got their shrimp noodle bowl and added an egg roll to it. They gave me so much shrimp shrimp, veggies, and noodles were super fresh. They also have a great selection of pastries to choose from. My favorite thing about Mi Saint is their drive thru, so convenient!

I love Banh-Mi. I was excited to see this restaurant near the clinic where I was working. I had the standard banh mi with pate. It was good but could have used more pate. The bread was excellent. The next day I returned for an almond croissant. It was OK...inside was excellent but the exterior (while tasty) was more dry flaky (as if it was a bit over baked) than the moist buttery flakiness of a good croissant. Staff were very nice and it was a quiet place to eat and catch up on emails.

Mi-Sant is amazing. This is my go-to place for ordering lunch, and especially when friends from out of town are visiting. I'd recommend Mi-Sant for breakfast as well. I've ordered the croissants before. I love the coconut croissant. My friend ordered the Nutella croissant recently and enjoyed it a lot. I've had the special spring rolls - highly recommend. I would also recommend getting the kimchi fries if you're looking for something shareable! The banh mi and bowls so far seem to all be delicious. I like the Korean bulgogi one very much. The drinks are very good. Bubble tea is always a good go-to. Their Vietnamese coffee is fantastic. I've had it both iced and hot and both are great choices. The drive-thru is a really nice bonus. I love being able to pick-up an online order without getting out of my car!

In the area for a hockey tournament and looking for something good to eat. I never had banh mi before but I was intrigued by the reviews. I also have drug my mom around to try different foods ( from small Wisconsin area without a lot of great food options) and she LOVED her shrimp bowl and the peanut sauce. I got the mi-sant special sandwich and couldn't get enough of it. Was already planning when I could go back for more. The croissants were all delicious. I got an Ube (my fav), Nutella and chocolate. Gave a bite to my friend and 4 days later she is still dreaming of it! Don't miss out on this wonderfully tasty joint.

The croissants here are phenomenal. Buttery, crisp, full of flavor and with a delightful texture both inside and out. Each bite makes you want to eat another, and another, until it's all gone and you're left trying to round up the remaining crumbs as well. I love the almond, but the taro and coconut are fantastic as well. The bubble tea here is okay but nothing particularly grand. The sandwiches are also good but not something I'd make a special trip here for, but that doesn't matter because I'll go here any time just for the croissants.

Wonderful fusion food. Great almond croissants. Highly recommend trying the bulgogi and egg rolls

Went to Mi-Sant Banh Mi for a quick lunch break. Food was great. Service was quick and friendly.

Food is good, and bakery items are best. Rolls and bowls are good, but it's a hit and miss on detail and or depending on who is rolling and making it. The only complaint I have for this place is the lack of service and their duties. With the number of people they have working, its still a wait regardless of drive thru or in store.

Fresh and tasty. The Mi Sant special was an amazingly tasteful Banh Mi sandwich, tried some cakes from the bakery as a take out and was pleasantly surprised. Heading straight back to try their bowls which looked very good.

It's ok. The bread is outstanding. The meats are fine but nothing to write home about. The veggies are in my opinion lacking. Not enough pickling, needs more cilantro, and probably could use more jalapeno too. I think part of the problem is that they aren't made fresh, they're already done in the morning and then just handed to you. Makes it fast but not as good. They are a really good bakery. Lots of French pastry with Vietnamese flair, and those are great. But they brand themselves for banh mi. Live by the sandwich, die by the sandwich.

Fire banh mi sandwiches. Has a drive thru. Also has other food options to try. I just discovered this place and I love it.

Food was delicious. Croissants were so good too! You can't go wrong with anything there! Try their spring rolls! Delicious!

Yes. Enough said. Possibly the best banh mi I've had in my life. Im Vietnamese and grew up there, so take my opinion for what it's worth. Currently working my way through their array of sandwiches as I travel through Coon Rapids.

Best banh-mi I've had in the cities! I ordered online from this location and was a little disappointed by the wait time. They seem to prioritize drive-thru and walk-up orders. I was under the impression their pastries were made fresh throughout the day and not just in the morning, so my croissant was pretty dry. Overall, my lunch order was still yummy, but just took longer than expected.

I was excited to try Mi-Sant and was glad you can order online and pick up in the drive thru. I ordered Teriyaki Chicken Rice bowl I added a fried egg, shrimp spring rolls, Passionfruit Green Tea with aloe, and a raspberry cream cheese croissant. I was bummed because I get a noodle bowl instead of a rice bowl. It was still good but, I would have preferred the rice bowl and what I ordered. I was not about to drive 12 minute back and wait in the drive thru to have them fix my order. The spring rolls we're good but it be nice if they has more than three baby shrimp. They were jam packed with more greens than anything. I love the green tea and the crossiant. Next time I might just order a ton of the crossiants because they were 10/10! I will definitely return to try the rice bowl one day and a Bahn Mi!

I had heard quite a few good things about Mi Sant during this first try of their takeout food. But Bulgo-GEEZ, I didn't think it would be THAT good! We got the Kimchi Fries and Bulgogi Beef Bowl with Kimchi and Mi-Sant Peanut Sauce I had no idea what to expect with either of these, and this was also my first time trying Kimchi... it's an understatement to say I was impressed The bowl had such depth of flavor that you need a ladder to truly leave the experience. The fries were rich enough to be shared but had the same dynamite savory taste. To those who like their classics and don't often dive into new flavors and cuisines like this, please trust the reviews and take a bite before you think twice. Hit up this place the next time ya got a hankering for having something new and amazing

Amazing! I can't tell you how much I miss bulgogi and egg rolls! I live in southern Minnesota where we have NOTHING like this! Best egg roll I've had in forever! The bowl is amazing too! I just wish they'd chop the bulgogi into smaller pieces because the huge pieces throw the ratio of rice/veggies to bulgogi off. Amazing place. Wish I lived closer (I live 2 hours away but here for soccer). We need one of these in Rochester, MN! I would love to franchise if that's an option!

Decent size great tasting Bahn Mi sandwich. Very busy but food was ordered to go and received promptly! The croissants are to die for!!
