Vietnamese fast food: banh mi sandwiches, bubble tea, snacks
"A banh mi institution on Eat Street, frequently cited as a must-get sandwich while exploring Nicollet Avenue's Vietnamese offerings." - Stacy Brooks
"Lu’s serves some of the best banh mi around, starting at $7.25. You can’t go wrong with the classic grilled pork, but options like the Special Ham, made with Vietnamese meatloaf and pork belly, or the pork meatballs (marinated Shanghai-style) are also great bets. Grab some delicately sweet sesame balls for a bite of dessert." - Alex Lodner
"Lu’s banh mi are expertly balanced in their crusty/chewy and pickled/roasted ratios. The baguettes crackle beautifully, and the zippy vegetables balance the savory meats. Options like the Special Ham, made with Vietnamese meatloaf and pork belly, or the pork meatballs (marinated Shanghai-style) are great bets." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
"Lu’s banh mi are made with care — you can taste it in their bright, balanced flavors. The airy house-made baguettes, baked daily, are piled high with succulent meatballs, grilled pork, or curried tofu. (Get an extra smear of the creamy mayo or earthy pate.) Pickled veggies, sliced cucumber, and cilantro make for a bright, herby complement. On the way out, grab a bag of fried sesame donut balls for an on-the-go dessert." - Natalia Mendez
"I chose my current apartment based mostly on its proximity to Lu’s Sandwiches, and I have no regrets." - Eater Staff
