Coffee was and tea were so fragrant! The coffee has a different aroma than what you would normally find in coffee shops as beans are directly imported from Vietnam. The Tri-colored dessert was also exceptional! The most impressive part of our experience was the staff. Can’t say enough good things about them for our first experience! Can’t wait to try again!

Lumi Vietnamese Bistro located on the first floor right below the food court is such a breath of fresh air for South Shore Plaza. Perfectly reflected aesthetics and fun props such as rice paddy hats and bikes can be found in this cutesy bistro cafe. Their bold Specialty Vietnamese coffees include ube, salted caramel, sea salt, and egg. They also offer many refreshing drinks. For a quick bite, you can choose banh mi, noodle bowl, or pastries. The staff members are so friendly and helpful with recommendations. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area

first timer, so i had to try a few of their Vietnamese coffees! out of the 3 iced coffees: egg, sea salt, and ube, the egg coffee is hands down my favorite!!! perfect balance of everything together. i love their choice of ice (shaved) to go with their coffee too! service was easy and quick. all the employees were so friendly and helpful. greeted you with a smile and great energy all around! their banh mi sandwiches are the best in the area. so fresh, clean, balanced, flavorful, well crafted and delicious. their protein and veggie portions are GENEROUS. mayo is high quality and packed with flavor. bread has a nice crunch and not too hard where it hurts my mouth/jaw like the other shops. my favorites have to be the traditional one with all white meat only and the fried tofu.

Lumi has moved from the second floor to the old Au Bon Pain location by Cheesecake Factory side of the mall. Much more room and space to relax and enjoy the food. Got myself a Bahn Mi traditional for lunch; while many other places are skimping out on portion sizes for the price at Lumi they really stuff the sandwich with good portion of meats.

We had the banh mi platter for Lunar New Year and the family loved it. They could build the banh mi however they liked and put whatever they want in it. The platter came with plenty of cold cuts and pate! Lumi also has very reasonable priced drinks. We ordered a bunch of the bubble drinks, and they looked amazing! Super colourful! Very good drink options for kids. The store was cute and clean. They have a cute area to sit while waiting for our order.

Lumi offers a cozy atmosphere, unique menu items, great design, excellent service, and comfortable seating perfect for meetings or socializing. My personal favorites are egg coffee and salted caramel coffee . The Vietnamese sandwich BBQ pork banh mi was delicious . The homemade banh mi at Lumi has a distinct flavor. I wish I lived closer, as it would undoubtedly be my favorite spot.
