A hopeless Vietnamese food junkie here....

The phở in town is okay but what is really needed is a place that serves great banh mi - Vietnamese sandwiches. A place (maybe even a food cart) near UMD or UWS or the Lakewalk - with iced Vietnamese coffee in the summer - would be an instant hit. Easy, cheap, tasty food....

You can always try Lan Chi's on Belknap in Superior.  They have both the wetsernized versions of Chinese food and more authentic Vietnamese food on their menu.  The Vietnamese egg rolls are so much better than the traditional ones you find around here.

We had Pho last week at Saigon Cafe on first street next to Coney. This is the second time we've ordered it there and it was very good. Their spring rolls were very fresh, served with a nice peanut sauce. The Pho is pricey at 10.50 a bowl but they package your leftovers very well and you can get two meals out of one order easily.

The Vietnamese Lotus Inn has delicious phở. And iced Vietnamese coffee. And they've even made bahn mi sandwiches for me (with sufficient prior notice). To sum up: The Vietnamese Lotus Inn is the perfect restaurant.

Vietnamese Lotus inn in Gary-New Duluth definitely has Pho. And I second Terry G's request that some entrepreneur start selling banh mi!!! But hey, it might happen, I never thought 15 years ago I'd ever be eating sushi in Duluth.

Yeah - good tip Mike - thanks!

Lan Chis on Belknap and Hammond Ave in Superior.  It's my favorite place for Pho in town.  $5.99 for a huge bowl, it's just as good, if not better, than The Lotus in Gary, and I think the Lotus charges $12.99 for their pho, a little pricey.  I've also tried talking the owner of Lan Chis, and his son, into making Bahn Mi, an awesome vietnamese sandwich.  The owner's son mentioned that they will be expanding their traditional vietnamese menu very soon, I think they've got about 9 authentic vietnamese menu items.  If your in the mood for a spring roll in a bowl try letter A the next time you're there.

Lan Chis is apparently in Superior on Hammond and Belknap. I'll have to check it out.

There is no good Vietnamese food in Duluth. Someone needs to step up and open a good pho stand.

You can google bubble tea and there are two suppliers who sell the kit so you can make them at home. One supplier is located in Vancover and the other one in Hawaii. 
I feel for all the bubble tea fans living in Duluth. It's a matter of time when a bubble tea place opens up.  Patience...
