I'll never come back to this place again. The service is terrible. How do they survive all these years with the customer services like that.

This is THE O.G. Banh Mi shop in Little Saigon. Been eating here forever. Great sandwiches and lots of extra things you can buy such as beef jerky and bulk Cha. My favorite is to get an egg sandwich with pork and pair it with soy milk. This is a great take-out spot.

The #11 Ba Le Combo has all the good stuff, thit nguoi, ham, gio and gio thu. The pate and mayo complements the meats perfectly.

My family and I have been getting bánh mì here since I was a kid. I hope they never go out of business! My go-to is the dặc biệt. ? You can also buy the ingredients yourself and make your own bánh mì at home.

Banh mi dac biet was ok. Can find better elsewhere for the price. Customer service can use some improvement.

The actual bread here is quite soft and not the same crunchy Vietnamese baguette/French bread that I'm used to. It seems like their sandwiches are supposed to be more of a take-out situation where you can heat them up at home. Otherwise, the flavors in the sandwiches were really great!
I was in the mood for banh mi so decided to check out Ba Le when the place I originally wanted to try was already closed. The interior is very small, though there are a few tables for dining in. I ended up ordering the special sandwich, which took about 5 minutes to prepare. Most sandwiches are between $4-$6. There are also some items for sale on the side and in the refrigerators. The banh mi was a decent size, about a foot long, on a baguette. It was not too fat but it was full of goodies and had great flavor with relatively crisp bread. The jalapeño slices were quite spicy! Great place for no frills, no fuss banh mi! Credit card accepted with an additional upcharge/fee. P.S. If you are in a bigger group, I believe there was a "buy 5 get 1 free" promotion.

You can't do a SoCal Vietnamese food run without getting at least one banh mi... we ended up getting a couple, to-go of course (since this was like our 8th stop of the day). Even though we were stuffed, the sandwiches smelled so good we cracked them open in the parking lot and damn near finished one of them. So absolutely good... I mean there are a number of great sandwich shops in Little Saigon. I humbly assert that this one should be in just about everyone's rotation.

I like the banh mi here. It tastes more like the ones in VN near my childhood home. Lightly crispy, not hard like Lee's. The pate flavor definitely is unique and the meats are tasty. One negative is that sometimes they are slow in preparing the food, but I am usually not in a hurry.

Very good price and taste.

Been to Ba Le in Philly, Chicago, Los Angeles. This is by far the worst. One woman assisted me and went back to make me a banh mi, another woman came out and just look at my food and charged me $15 without itemizing (so shady). Got home and was excited to try the pate, it smelled like staled oil. I felt so sick after taking the first bite. My husband asked me to throw the whole container in the trash. Not every Ba Le is the same!
