Ba Lẹ - Boston

A great place to pack Vietnamese sandwiches, lunch combo boxes, hot/cold bubble tea, coffee or bakeries. We are out of town and stumbled this place after we had a desire for Vietnamese food. We have grilled beef and pork sandwich, $6 or $7, and they were delicious, plentiful. There are so many dishes, I want to try everything. The spring roll and Tofu fa Dessert were from the world.... A few cons: no place to sit, eat not so insecure what it is or cost, line was long and wrapped around the store.

Banh Mi Ba Le is honestly a great spot for affordable and tasty banh mi and pandan desserts. I got the banh mi chay (4/5), or meatless with tofu, and it was very flavorful. I don't know what they put in that yellow mayo-like sauce, but it's packing flavor. I also really enjoyed the pandan cake (4/5) for its strong pandan flavor and great chewy texture. I also had a pandan sticky dessert (not pictured) which was 5/5! I also bought some pastries, but they were mislabeled (grabbed red bean which ended up being meat, and grabbed custard which ended up being taro). Overall 4/5!

Google said this was the best bahn mi in Boston so I naturally had to go check it out!We went after the lunch rush, but the line still stretched around the shop! The line does move quickly though and you have a million different side dishes to consider as you inch closer to the bahn mi station.As a vegetarian there are options for you here! I got the tofu bahn mi along with a noodle dish and a sweet bread. The slaw and ratio of filling to crunchy baguette was perfect. For me, the tofu could get more seasoning love. The staff were super helpful and efficient and even let us enjoy our sandwiches at the one table inside! Score!

Wow wow wow I only went for the sandwich and I was not disappointed my friend cly told me about this place. I will be going often now. Barbecue beef wow just outstanding, make sure you say no spicy if you don’t eat spicy food because they use the really hot jalapeños in the sandwich. I want to go back and try some of the rice and noodles they have available. The best price in Boston I seen new Vietnamese sandwich spots now I’m making sandwiches cost $10 even seen one for $14 craziness!!!! and all the same size. I got three sandwiches for 20 bucks, I had the expenses combo cold cut sandwich lol I wanted to try them all, so much options I will go at least every other week for a cheat day meal.
