Parking is a bit tough in this part of town, but there are some street parking spots available on nearby streets. The space itself is tucked between a few other establishments. It is small, with tables for groups of two and four, which is perfect for the students and staff passing through. The staff is always very helpful and friendly when I stop by! This spot is known for its Bahn Mi and Rice Bowls! I always get a Bahn Mi, which comes in small (plenty for one meal) or a large (perfect for leftovers or to split). The pork is my favorite, which is always tender, flavorful, and piled high! The sandwich also comes with a plethora of traditional veggies, including carrots, cucumber, jalapenos, and cilantro! The crusty, crunchy bread really makes this sandwich! I like mine with pate and mayo for a bit of creaminess! Never hurts to add a side of their freshly fried cream cheese wontons! The serving size of everything is also a great value for the cost. Truly one of my favorite slightly hidden gems in the Stadium Village area. Will be returning regularly!

I highly recommend ordering for pick up especially during peak hours like lunch time during weekdays. The line can get pretty long and have a long wait time since there's a lot of orders both in person and online. I like the location because it's close to my work place so it's very convenient to just walk over and grab some delicious and healthy food.

We stopped here on a Saturday evening before an event and it was surprisingly quiet. Being our…read morefirst time, we had a few questions and the person we worked with was enthusiastic, kind, and thorough. They even asked us if we had allergies before adding certain ingredients! I went with the Autumn Harvest Bowl and it was absolutely delectable. The vinaigrette and goat cheese offered the perfect amount of acidity, the sweet potatoes and Brussel sprouts added substance, then the wild rice and blacked chicken rounded out the dish. I did not expect such a massive portion for the price. I could've easily split this 2-4 times if I planned ahead. Can't wait to try other options in the future. Side note: the sour dough was a little dry, but I was content with the salad itself so the bread didn't take away from the enjoyment.

I will be back next time I'm in town!

If you're…read morelooking for a light salad bowl, perhaps with falafel, Roti may hit the spot with their nice salad/rice bowls and options for toppings. On the other hand, their proteins are a bit disappointing. Tiny smatterings of steak or chicken, which are often severely overcooked and dry. The proteins will really make you enjoy their tasty iced teas and/or lemonade. The ambiance is...well, a little better than a mall-based food court, but it doesn't matter as this is a grab-and-go destination. And you won't stay long thanks to their prompt service.

A couple weeks ago, I was at the Government Center around lunch time, and was excited to be able to…read moretry some food trucks! However, I realized that it was early November, and some of the usual players were done for the season. As I was about to admit defeat and grab something from Panera, I see Scratch Food Truck and I was saved :) They have a nice selection of sandwiches; I was heavily debating between the pork & shrimp patty, the sesame beef, and the fried chicken. The jalapeno slaw on the fried chicken sandwich won me over in the end, though. The fried chicken sandwich comes on a long bun, and is absolutely delicious. The slaw is spicy and tangy, and paired with the crisp fried chicken and mayonnaise, it makes for a very excellent sandwich. They make their own chips here, too, and you get a very generous portion with your sandwich. I'll definitely be coming back here.

There's a selection of sandwiches and wraps. I went there yesterday and they had rolls on the menu! Two of us ordered the Pork/Shrimp sandwich, and another the sesame beef. The sandwiches are definitely large in size, perfect for any large appetite. Comes with tasty fried chips....not sure what the oil used was but very tasty! Everything is made to order, but still a quick turnaround! The pork/shrimp sandwich came with (what I believe) a tasty mango-type slaw and 'mystery' sauce that really created a 'light' asian taste to it. Not heavy at all, regardless of the size of the sandwich! All of us enjoyed our lunch and plan on coming back for more!

We've enjoyed this restaurant in the past, which is why this most recent experience was so…read moredisappointing. It feels like the focus has shifted much more toward the buffet, and the takeout experience has suffered as a result. The online ordering process was confusing because the only pickup times available were 4 PM or 6 PM. We would've loved to eat at 5 PM, as that's usually when we get takeout orders when we eat out. We chose the 4 PM slot, but when I arrived 5 minutes early...the order was already sitting out waiting. That immediately raised concerns about how long it had been sitting there. When I got home, some of the food was much cooler than expected for freshly prepared takeout, which only added to those concerns. I ended up needing to reheat several items as I was afraid from a food safety perspective. The pickup experience itself was also awkward. I stood waiting at the front for about 30 seconds while employees were nearby, but nobody acknowledged me. Eventually someone yelled "hello" from literally across the restaurant. After I responded and said I was there for a pickup order, there was very little communication. They looked at me confused. The employee then walked away and eventually returned with my order. The interaction felt confusing and unwelcoming. I was also disappointed by the portion sizes, especially considering current menu prices. On top of that, there is an additional service fee for online orders, which makes the value feel even worse. Overall, this visit left us feeling like the restaurant isn't prioritizing its takeout customers the way it used to. Between the confusing pickup process, concerns about how long the food sat before pickup, smaller portions, and added fees, were hesitant to order takeout here again. It's sad, because if you look at my previous reviews of this place, I use to enjoy it.

They do a high volume of take out so those can take precedence over your order at times depending on time of day but the food generally overall is good. Overall, the menu options are good and savory however, the buffet which is a big push here does not offer a lot of variety at times and depending on the time of day, some of the dishes are missing or empty. Also, depending on the dish it can be really salty so be sure to ask for no additional salt to be added if ordering off menu. The Naan is very good as is the Dosa which are HUGE and delish!

Summary: - New food…read moretruck of 128 Cafe - Quality Asian fusion - Fast lines - Twitter and Fb pages seem inactive so unclear how to find this place again --- I came to the food truck fair in Minneapolis wide eyed. There were 40+ food trucks in attendance. After doing a lap around the area, this place caught my eye because of two reasons: the long line and the kimchi Reuben. I love kimchi and I love Reubens so what can go wrong? Well... Nothing! Though some might find it salty, the flavors worked weirdly well together. The sandwich was on a sesame bun and filled to the brim with corned beef, cheese, pickles, and of course, kimchi. I took a bite and everything burst out on the other side. I quickly turned to the spoon and enjoyed every bite. The Bulgogi bowl also seemed to be popular. Unfortunately, after doing some googling, I'm still unsure of how to find this truck again. I have linked their twitter page though! If you find this elusive truck, I definitely recommend trying it.
