Bread is soft yet crunchy and won't hurt your mouth like other baguette places. This place has been around for at least 20 years and food quality is still superb! Parking can be difficult to find since it is sharing with a Starbucks. I recommend the special #2 with additional fried eggs.

The banh mi was really skimpy on the inside. It’s all about balance and although the bread is fresh and perfect, it was most of the sandwich. I wish there was a more meat, but it was also low on the pickled vegetables! Pate flavor was great though.

Out of many Viennese sandwich shops in SGV, this is our go to place. BBQ pork, chicken and regular are our favorites. Other places offer buy 2 get one free deals. Ba Le doesn't need gimic like that. Very popular strip mall so parking is difficult. Come during non peak hours.

Best BBQ pork sandwich in town. They don't use the highest quality cuts but they marinate it in the sweet red sauce that gives it a more delicious flavor even when compared to higher end shops like Mr. Baguette.

Have been coming to this place regularly in the past 10 years. Small place, really good banh mi and spring roll and.... Basically everything. Good price. They made their bread in house and daily; Crispy and light, and perfect for banh mi. Spring rolls are light and refreshing. Vietnamese coffee is strong.

Ba Le is not only tied for my favorite overall bahn mi spots, it has THE BEST vegetarian bahn mi (14. bahn mi chay). While most places offer a meat substitute like “vegetarian ham” Ba Le makes a delicious sautéed tofu with veggies. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

Great portion for reasonable pricing. $6.50 for a foot long stuffed sandwich is a steal. Sandwiches were delicious and veggies in them were fresh. The bread was also crunchy but also soft.

Banh mi was pretty good. Try the desserts! I was pleasantly surprised coming to this spot. Keep small business alive! This is one of the less gentrified and affordable banh mi spots in the area. Bring cash, of course.

Awesome vegetarian bahn mi. (Not listed as vegan, but maybe?) Mostly pickled veggies w some mushrooms and tofu. Added my own mayo and siracha. Spouse loved his fish cake bahn mi. Bread was crisp on edges and fresh, soft inside. Cash only. Less than $14 for 2 sandwiches, awesome deal. Tastes better than my picture looks. Definitely feels hefty.

A great stop for whenever you're in the area. Came here after a camping trip with friends and originally wanted to split one banh mi with my husband so I told him to go grab the BBQ pork. And it was a decent sized banh mi compared to Lee's, so I was excited. Guys, it was so good we went to get another banh mi but this time we tried the employees favorite--I believe it was a lemongrass sausage version. Every bite I took, I felt like I was taking a bite of pho. As absurd as it sounds, the lady mentioned that it's probably the lemongrass that makes it taste like it. Anyways, I prefer the BBQ pork and I really can't wait to try the special next time. We also got an iced Vietnamese coffee. I think this is where I gave it one less star hoping that it would be sweet but as soon as I took a sip, I realized it was on the bitter side for me. Not my cup of tea...or coffee I suppose but the food is delicious with the perfect crunch in the baguette and you get a good portion of the BBQ pork in your banh mi. For the price, it was definitely worth it and the lady behind the counter was so sweet. Definitely has a ton of ample parking and easily to get in and out of. I think it was also around 3:30PM when we got there and it was pretty busy I thought so it tells you that it's a good spot for the locals. Absolutely love hidden gems / mom and pop shops like these. Until next time, Lina.
