" First time trying Lu's and I had the beef banh mi. It was a solid sandwich, but I expected more from the beef's flavor. Perhaps it's just my preference as I've had incredible banh mi at other spots. Nonetheless, it was fresh and satisfying. I might consider coming back to try other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to Lu's Sandwiches during my last visit to Minneapolis. It was a delightful experience! We all ordered different banh mi sandwiches and shared them. The flavors were fantastic, and the portion sizes were perfect for sharing. However, I was a bit disappointed by the atmosphere — it felt a little cramped, especially on a busy day. Still, the staff were accommodating, and the food made up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I went to Lu's, I was a bit unsure what to expect seeing it compared to Chipotle. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The freshness of their ingredients really sets them apart. I had the vegetarian curry tofu bowl and it was packed with flavors. It's certainly not the most traditional Vietnamese food I've ever had, but it's a unique take that I really enjoyed. The staff were friendly and made the experience even better. I will return for another round! " (*Curated Review*)

" There is no denying the freshness of Lu's sandwiches! I had the grilled pork this time and it was flavor-packed. The portion was fairly generous for the price, and I found the staff friendly and helpful. The only downside was that my drink was out of order. Nonetheless, I was really satisfied with my meal overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here after class and decided to try the curry tofu banh mi. The flavors were solid, and the tofu was well seasoned. My only complaint was the bread was a bit too chewy for my taste; I prefer something softer. Overall, a good meal — maybe next time I'll switch to the grilled pork because I've heard great things about it! " (*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*)
