I really enjoyed the Gyro Bowl, fresh and filling for a great price. It’s easy to walk to from just about anywhere downtown, looking forward to my next visit!

Four of us came in hungry, we all ordered different things and THEY WERE GREAT! All of us left very satisfied. I have celiac disease and was told by the chef that all the rice bowls are gluten free so I felt very secure ordering.

Great new restaurant downtown for lunch! I’m not downtown often but will be back next time I am. The pork sandwich with banana bbq sauce was fantastic! My wife loved the tuna bowl. Some seating in the restaurant but can also sit in the atrium in a variety of seats. Food prep was fast if need a quick pickup on the go.

I had a great time at Food on the Fly! They don't lie with the name as the food was prepared quite quickly, yet still with the quality and precision I would expect from a sit down restaurant. You can tell they really put care into their vegan menu, with not only plenty of protein options for their sandwiches and bowls (that they make themselves!), but so many creative sauces and quality vegetables included as well. I had the vegan pastrami sandwich which was super tasty and filling, as well as their new spicy chilled cucumber soup which was very flavorful and refreshing on a hot day. Previously I've ordered the vegan pork bowl which was also fantastic, and I'm excited to try more of their menu in the future! Highly recommended if you're looking for a quality lunch on the go in the downtown area

This new spot in downtown has an impressive amount of vegan options on it's menu. They have mainly rice bowls and sandwiches, with varying vegan proteins (vegan chicken, pork, pastrami, and sausages!), all of which I learned are made in house. I got the vegan chicken bowl with gochujang. It was super delicious and filling, and came with a variety of fresh and pickled veg. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of their menu!

Most items on their menu come in a vegan version. You could eat here every day for several weeks without repeating. I got the vegan Korean smoked pork rice bowl, and it was delicious. The house-made mock pork is the best mock meat I have ever had. I look forward to trying more items on their menu (both rice bowls and sandwiches). Please support these folks who are making creative vegan options at an omni restaurant!

It's like home made fast food. I got the chicken rice bowl. Amazing. And the prices are just as good as the food. I'll definitely be back.
Edit. Came back and ordered the best fish tacos I have ever had.

Food on the Fly is a delicious and affordable option for lunch downtown Minneapolis. Each menu item has a unique Korean/Midwestern zest that is unique to any other lunch spot downtown. We have loved dining with them and look forward to more delicious meals in the future! :)

Kiosk ordering, Ordered the tuna rice bowl which seemed like a poke bowl... tuna did not taste fresh... bowl lacked flavor and is over powered by really bland white rice that is described as jasmine rice on the menu. If you've ever eaten questionable gas station sushi, this would be similar.... would not recommend. Prices seem high, even for downtown.
The vegan pulled pork sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had! You can tell the staff really care about the quality of ingredients and creating really good food. This is a “must try” restaurant in the cities!

Delicious midwest food with fun and exciting Korean flavors! The smoked pork sandwich is an absolute standout - packed with flavor and made with top-notch ingredients. Every dish reflects the care and quality that go into its preparation. A must-visit for food lovers seeking a unique and satisfying dining experience!
