Minneapolis Vietnamese banh mi · Minneapolis
Vietnamese baguette layered with pate, mayo, grilled lemongrass pork or pork roll, pickled daikon and carrot, cucumber, cilantro and jalapeno. The Nicollet Avenue Eat Street tradition since the 1980s.
The Vietnamese refugee community that settled along Nicollet Avenue (now 'Eat Street') from the late 1970s established Minneapolis's banh mi tradition. Quang Restaurant has anchored Eat Street since 1989 and remains the canonical Minneapolis operator. The Minneapolis banh mi follows the Saigon template: French baguette with Vietnamese fillings, sold for $5 to $9 across the city. It remains Minneapolis's classic cheap-eats lunch.
