Bahn mi sandwich
Khaum L.

Arrive before they open.. we got there 30 minutes after they opened and it was a full house with 15-20 min wait. Service is excellent! Staff were all so friendly. We loved everything about it. From the elegant, yet homey vibe. To the amazing staff and attentiveness. To the food & coffee! Will definitely being going back but better prepared for extra extra early arrival. Note: they will only seat you if your entire party is present.

Bahn Mi burger
Alex W.

I'm back on the road again, looking for some of the best food and drinks throughout the midwest! The first stop was La Crosse, Wisconsin, where I was able to catch up with a good friend of mine. When we were talking about where to go for lunch, she said she had heard all about this restaurant, but hadn't been. With the name like The Damn Tasty, we figured we better check it out and see if it lives up to its name. It was a little hard to find because they don't have the most obvious sign directing you to their space in the strip of shops and we did have to put our name on the waiting list, but as you can see, it was WELL WORTH IT. The staff was really friendly and while the space was cozy, the decor and ambience was really great. The menu was fairly limited with some breakfast options and lunch options, but you could tell that the menu was curated and it was limited because they focused on doing everything well. Let's get down to the food... We ordered the Kimchi Toast with kimchi cream cheese, thick cut bacon, fried egg, chili crisp, dressed greens, grilled sourdough. Honestly, this was 10/10. A little messy to cut up, but holy cow the flavor... Bánh Mì Burger with a potsticker pork patty, pickled veggies, shaved cucumber, garlic mayo, chili crisp, cilantro, fried egg, seeded roll! Another one of their best sellers and I can see why. Finally, we had the French Toast with blueberry compote, lemon curd, honeyed whipped cream, cinnamon crunch. I guess we figured we needed a little bit of sweet with all of our savory!

Bada Bing sandwich

The food was good. I went with some friends for brunch and I would recommend arriving early. We arrived not too long after they opened, 9 a.m., and there was a line already. I didn't keep track of the time, but we did wait for a good amount of time before we were able to get to the front of the line. Their process is ordering the food and paying ahead of time at the counter and we can go find a seat afterwards. They do bring the food to us but they're not a typical restaurant where they would serve all the food together, which was fine with me and my group. My friends were raving about the Kimchi Toast and I didn't believe them so I ordered the Bada Bing sandwich. This sandwich was still good, but the Kimchi Toast was much better. I did order a side of the Kimchi cream cheese to dip my chips in, and that main ingredient was very tasty. The place was quite small, with very limited seating. I would say, coming in with a big group is not recommended. I did see couples sitting with other people due to the limited seating. Overall, the wait is long and not much seating but I would definitely go back though, for their Kimchi Toast.

What fun spot to find in La Crosse! Visiting the area, there was no recommendation, just did a search and decided to cross our fingers! Their menu is innovative and fresh! The staff was kind and courteous. Food was DELICIOUS. I got a beermosa cause why not!!! Would've loved a selection of beers to sub than Miller Light (but I'm probably just a snob for craft beers ) It was still all the same delicioso! For my main course, I got the kimchi and... just YES. Never would I think to eat kimichi for breakfast, not put on toast, nor put it with cream cheese?? Just yes yes yes. I should've ordered a second one? My friends all Sang praises as well, but I was more into my plate Being new to the area our sever was SUPER helpful. She recommended places for my friend And I to hit while in town. We really appreciated the time she took to list so many places!

first dined here last weekend and the food was absolutely incredible and the atmosphere lovely

Great brunch experience. Very busy Sunday morning crowd so prepare yourself for a wait. It's worth it though. Great selection. Brought home a loaf of sourdough to enjoy later.

Turkish Eggs
Taylor D.

The name says it all! We stopped by with a large party and wanted to sit outside with our pups! The damn tasty was able to accommodate us and have fun picnic tables out back. Perfect to enjoy the summer weather. We ordered the Turkish eggs and the ham hash. Both were delicious. The poached eggs were not runny unfortunately but still extra tasty. We also ordered the Bloody Mary, which is made with sake, different but good. Also ordered an iced latte with oat milk- yum! I highly recommend stopping here for breakfast or brunch!

It is very rare i would give 5 stars to a restaurant but the owner in this restaurant made it above…read moreand beyond! A very humble and nice man! Makes you feel like home. First he welcomed us with free middle eastern coffee called karak. Its dark black coffee with cardamom. We ordered the lamb kabob platter , hammus and pita bread. The food is delicious, hearty ,freshly made and authentic. And then comes the generous part! He came out with generous amount of free fried chicken for my friend and for me with freshly made baba ganoush and warm fresh pita bread! Not just that, he also gave us soda for free! Such a kind man with great hospitality. Even if it wasnt for the free food, i would still rate this restaurant highest because of the delicious food and such a humble and kind owner who makes you feel at home. You must visit atleast once to experience it.

We came here because the reviews (at the time of this post) on Google were 4.6 and 3.8 on Yelp…read more First thing to note is that the parking is in the back on the building. The place has a rustic Middle Eastern vibe but it's not kept well. The table we first got had food stains on the table cloth and a dirty fur coat on the wall. We decided to move to a different table. I saw food on other tables as well. The owner spent most of the time in the back talking to someone than waiting on us. We didn't get silverware until the main course and never got water. I went to the fridge in the front after our meal was done because we were tired of waiting and thirsty. The falafel is the best thing that we had. It was fresh but a bit oil. It had a nice crunch to it and the flavor profile was good. The sauce with it was average but good. The mixed grilled platter was underwhelming. The best meat was the lamb. There wasn't much flavor in the chicken and the other meat was too dry. I think the veggies were a bit too chard for my liking. The shawarma was not that great. It seamed as if it was chicken chunks and not the properly cooked. The flavor was not great either. There's nothing given as a side or sauce. There's bottles of ketchup on the tables but they looked not too appealing to use. Instead of napkins, you get Kleenex. While the food can be good. I would recommend ordering takeout from here. As a small business I wish nothing but the best and hope the owner cleans up the place more and improves the customer service.

Ordered the salmon with spinach sauce I had 4 months ago that was the best dish of my life. I…read moreasked for no garlic in the sauce (just like I did 4 months ago). The waiter told me they could not make the sauce without garlic which was puzzling. When the dish came out, it had a side of Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. I told them it was supposed to have spinach and that I didn't order Brussels sprouts and could not eat them. When they brought the dish back, it had spinach on top of the salmon and the waiter said it came with Brussels sprouts. The menu had no mention of Brussels sprouts...... I happened to have a photo on my phone of the meal 4 months ago as it was so memorable. When I showed it to the waiter, he simply said, it comes with Brussels sprouts. This was not the meal I had enjoyed previously, the salmon was dry, the potatoes were dry, I didn't get sauce, and Brussels sprouts were forced on me. I was extremely disappointed with the lack of customer service and the poor quality of my meal.

Delicious sums up my first experience at Lumi.. I have wanted to try this restaurant for the past…read moreyear, but with so many options in the downtown Rochester area, I tend to choose the same places. This time I chose Lumi and was not disappointed! From the very flavorful appetizer ( Muhammara) that I will crave forever complimentary puff bread, to the savory Turkish take on a beef stroganoff..which left our mouths filled with warm, toasty spice flavors.. which lingered well after the meal was done, to a more simple but equally as perfect in its own right.. Schnitzel! Crispy. Crust.. the best garlic mashed potatoes & both dishes came with a generous side of roasted Brussel sprouts! There was so much food & we brought leftovers home! We both are excited to return - & talked about the food the whole way home! Our server was helpful & explained what the items were and the interior of the restaurant is tastefully decorated, upscale (but we walked in casual & did not feel out of place). Lumi would be a perfect place for a date.. or with a group of friends!
