Just all around excellent food. Had the bbq pork banh mi, spring rolls, and honeydew melon smoothie. Everything we had was very fresh, delicious, and affordable.
Delicious ? line was 20 deep Sunday at 3. Three sandwiches, noodles and spicy beef, chicken egg rolls, sponge cake for $35. Get in the line...sandwiches at the end near the cashier.
Delicious authentic Vietnamese food with a wide selection! If this place was walking distance from me then I would go all the time because everything here reminds me of my childhood. Love the banh mi of course but also the snacks and drinks as well. Every time I go, I would always get the sugarcane juice (nước mía) and the sweet dessert drink/ pudding (chè)
I am so lucky to have this in the neighborhood. Sandwiches are so yummy and filling and inexpensive. The layout might confuse people a little the first time going in there --- don't fear if you see a long line! The line moves quickly even when it looks like there's a big backup.
Ba Le was recommended to me by my cousin. So we stopped by and had to try it out. Let me say the interior of the space is a cozy market where you can find some fresh produce and Asian products.The service counter had a ton of delicious options and everything smelled great! Of course I had to scoop myself up some Lol Mein, DELICIOUS! Very flavorful and served hot!The Sandwich was super flavorful as well. Decent size sandwich for the price and the spice level was moderate. Could use more spice. Still it slapped! Definitely met up to it's hype.Go check it out!
Came here on a recommendation from my brother in law. Read up on them and learned they offer really good Banh Mi. Huge fan as my Vietnamese friend's mom's taste so similar. I also tried their delicious spring rolIs. I'd like to say very authentic! Great baked goods and several more menu options. Everything looked tasty and look forward to try more things on their menu.I got lucky my first time and there was no line. After eating my meal there was a line starting. I was also told that the line sometimes starts outside the store! Says something good about the place but just a heads up!
My favorite spot for breakfast or lunch! Of course visit for their Banh Mi, but they have a toooon of other options like rice plates, spring rolls, banh beo, noodles, etc. I always get the fresh sugar cane juice, I'm not sure where else offers it fresh any more. They also seem to have pastries now as well! This place is definitely affordable spot for lunch. However, lines can get really long because of how popular this spot is. If you order ahead by calling, that should shorten the wait time by a lot.
Coming from Cali and having a ton of Vietnamese options in OC I was quite impressed with this little store in the New England. My friend wanted to take us here to grab some sandwiches for the plan ride home to Cali. The whole Vietnamese population of Boston was here, waiting in line. It went by fairly quick… 15-20 minutes. We got 2 banh mi, one bbq beef and the other cold deli cuts. Both were amazingly delicious. Especially the beef, you can really taste the grill and lemongrass. Nice crunchy bread and fresh veggies. We also got banh cuon… definitely a must!! Also next time we getting the com tam plates and other items. Too many items to get and no names or labels. Wish they had a menu with pictures. I’m Viet but I just don’t remember all the good offerings! Too many!!
Always crowded. Wish check out process is easier. I'm always stuck behind someone ordering 30 sandwiches. Those needs to be separated from rest to keep line moving!
Seemingly quite popular as the line was still long at around 2 PM! Lots of groceries and food available. Staff are friendly and courteous. My beef banh mi was pretty good. Not the best; the baguette definitely could’ve been softer, and the meat could’ve been warmer. But the taste was good, the sauce was perfectly sweet and savory, and the pickled vegetables perfectly balanced the whole thing with their tanginess. Looking forward to trying other stuff from here.
