Real banh mi.
For over two decades, Ai Hue's has been Saint Paul's go-to for hand-pressed Vietnamese sandwiches, slow-simmered pho, and fresh pastries baked the same morning you eat them.

What to order
The dishes regulars come back for.
Beef Pho
House broth simmered overnight with star anise and ginger, rice noodles, rare steak, brisket, and a fresh herb plate.
Pandan & Mung Bean Cakes
Soft sponge cakes, sticky rice rolls, croissants and Vietnamese pastries pulled from the oven each morning.
Cà phê sữa đá
Slow-dripped Vietnamese coffee. Strong, sweet, cold.
Dark-roast coffee dripped over sweetened condensed milk and poured straight onto ice. The original after-banh-mi reset.
A Saint Paul corner
On University Ave, behind a glass case full of warm bread.
Family-run, neighborhood-loved. We've been baking French-Vietnamese baguettes and stuffing them with the good stuff since long before banh mi was trendy.
