My photos really don’t do these banh mi any justice because it was amazing. I’ve heard so many great things about Luke’s I was so excited to find out they also offer vegan rolls. They have two seperate counters, so that the vegan meat and salads won’t be contaminated with the non vegan side. I’m looking forward to trying the other mock meats but the marinated tofu looks especially delicious! The photos show the pork “crackling” vegan option. I was so impressed when I saw this meat come out. I’ve never seen anything like it before. I had real pork crackling and my partner had the vegan version however he shared with me and I think next time I’ll get the vegan option… or the tofu.

Read moreThe LEGENDARY reputation is well deserved! Don't let the long queue scare you from ordering.. cos the crew are ultra efficient and you'll get your delicious order pretty quickly. Got allergies? - No problem, they're extra thorough and they'll make your order with care, and they'll properly mark the bag too. I have to resist writing how good the Banh Mi is, cos its making me wanting to eat another one.. I've already devoured 2 before writing this review. - Feels so wrong and right at the same time.. but I have no regrets but joy! I ordered the Luke's Special and Luke's Favourite- the ingredients were super fresh, well packed, and had the right bread to filling ratio. And best of all it only cost $11 per premium Banh Mi!! And there's parking at...
