" Today I ordered the beef bahn mi, and it was really good. The bread was soft, and there was a plentiful amount of beef. However, I could have used a bit more fresh vegetables in mine, as it seemed a little lacking in that department. Atmosphere was nice, and I appreciated the quick service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lu's has quickly become one of my favorite spots on campus! The banh mi is out of this world, especially with the grilled chicken. The veggies are fresh, and the spicy mayo adds an excellent kick! While the staff can get a bit overwhelmed during peak hours, they are always pleasant. I recommend it to anyone needing a lunch spot that isn't fast food but still fast! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying Lu's Sandwiches based on all the positive reviews but came away a bit underwhelmed. The beef banh mi was good, but I've had better elsewhere. The service was decent, but the place felt quite cramped. I think I’ll stick with my usual places for Vietnamese food in the future, but I wouldn’t entirely dismiss Lu's. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally tried Lu's Sandwiches after hearing my friends rave about it! I went for the grilled pork banh mi and it was incredible! The bread was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, while the pork was flavorful and juicy. The portions were generous too, which made it well worth the price. However, I did find the place a bit crowded during lunch hour. The noise level was high, but it didn't detract too much from my experience. I'll definitely return for that amazing sandwich! " (*Curated Review*)

" Today I had the pleasure of dining at Lu's Sandwiches once more. The combination of flavors in my grilled chicken banh mi was delightful, just spicy enough to keep it exciting! I appreciate how they allow customization for each sandwich. I will always rave about their exceptional customer service, but on this particular visit, there was a bit of a wait as they were quite busy. No big deal at all! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lu's Sandwiches has been a staple for me since I discovered it last semester. The curry tofu banh mi is my go-to! It’s spicy and full of flavor. The portions are generous, especially for the price. I've never had an issue with the service — the staff always seem friendly and quick to serve. Highly recommend! Just beware, the line can get long during lunch. " (*Curated Review*)

" I feel somewhat torn about my visit to Lu's. While I enjoyed the fresh ingredients and the quick service, I can't help but feel that the flavors, especially in their banh mi, didn't represent authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The bread and fillings were there, but it lacked that deeper flavor profile I've come to expect from traditional banh mi shops. Service was friendly but a bit rushed, as the staff were clearly busy. Overall, it was a decent meal, but not the most memorable in the grand scheme of Vietnamese food. " (*Curated Review*)
