    Other than the giant beef rib in the pho bowl, I don't think Ba Le's pho is good. They used too much of the "pho's seasonings and herbs" for their broth. It has an overwhelming taste; not to my liking. Although I did not taste the rice plate, i was told it was good. Parking can be a situation if the restaurant is full.

    Beef pho

    Back in town and of course you go to the best beef pho place! Love that the put the beef bone in the bowl. It's my dad's favorite part of the pho lol! Family own and operated. They are so friendly and I grew up eating here. Don't forget to order a banh mi sandwich. The bread is baked fresh and there is always a line for pick up. It's a great local spot and so many regulars come here. It's pretty big in size to accommodate small and big parties.

    Anytime I'm visiting my parents in Arlington, I always request to make a stop at Ba Le Restaurant for their amazing pho! It can often be crowded and have a wait, but the wait is well worth it. The restaurant is spacious and the service is quick! You won't be waiting long after you're seated. The portions are huge and the broth has such an incredibly rich flavor. I normally get a regular size bowl and it's enough to feed me twice. Warning: after having this pho, it's won't quite hit the spot when you get it anywhere else!

    #1 regular pho

    The #1 pho spot in DFW. The broth could cure any ailment & every hangover in existence. It's a serioussss operation with servers and big groups coming in & out. I've been working my way around the menu for the past year and #1 bowl will never disappoint, also they have the best egg rolls. Been dabbling in their bahn mi as of recent as well so get a grilled pork one and have a little appetizer before your pho.

    Visiting one weekend and we were craving pho and banh mi. The banh mi bread was perfectly light and crispy, we got bread to go because it was exactly what we were looking for. We also bought a container of pate (pork pate for those wondering) to eat with the bread. They only have beef pho, and each bowl comes with a huge bone of beef and your selection of meats, all part of the set cost. Meatballs are the only meat that cost extra. Sugar cane had a nice lime taste and complimented the food.

    Had a chance to visit Dallas this week so we stopped by here to try what everyone is raving about, Their banh Mi!! It was somewhat disappointing to say the least! Banh mi đặc biệt (3/5)- bread wasn't fresh which was disappointing; I can taste the bác biết fixing flavors, the overall experience from eat bite is just too dry for me. It wasn't very flavorful and out of this world as other reviews and social media make it out to be. Banh mi thịt nướng / grilled pork (4/5) - this sandwich actually tastes better than their Đặc Biệt. I would recommend. Banh tieu (4.5/5) - super cheap and flavor is spot on! Get it when available! Pate Chaud (4/5) while I expected to be more fluffy, it was a nice surprise with a good amount of stuffing and traditional peppery meat stuffing flavor. Ca Phê Sữa Đá (5/5) - super strong Vietnamese coffee. I would wait for the ice to melt into the coffee first before taking your first sip! Coffee here will sure wake you up. I drink coffee often and I could only finish half a cup and could barely sleep last night! Heard their pho is good but I haven't had a chance to try. I'll plan to come back for their pho and also pick up some Vietnamese desserts and snacks they offer at the front too!

    If I could go here every single day, I would. Good Lord the pho comes out in like 10 minutes (probably less) and the big rib that comes with the beef pho is FLAVORFUL AND AMAZING. Typically I have to doctor up my pho but here, the broth is really good on its own. The food is super affordable and manageable for big or small parties. I can't wait to visit again soon.

    I saw this place get recommended by a group on Facebook several times so we decided to give it a try this past weekend! First we'll talk about service. So everyone is as friendly as they can get, nothing more nothing less. It gets the job done and I don't have any big complaints. The ambiance is "hole in the wall" which kinda got me excited. It's kept clean for the most part, they keep Clorox wipes at each table which I liked. I've never seen that before. Restrooms are decent enough but could use a tad bit of cleaning. Nothing major. Now for the food. We started with spring rolls. I'll be honest we really weren't a fan of them. They had no flavor whatsoever. Hard pass. It didn't matter because the star of the show was their delicious pho. I'm still thinking about that pho bowl! The broth was amazing! Delicious! Apparently every bowl comes with a rib which was oh so delicious and tender. They only have Beef pho on the menu here. I got the brisket. Plenty of meat and noodles. Their chili sauce is fire! Very spicy and tasty. My daughter and husband ordered the pork vermicelli bowl and they said it was some of the best. The portions for both items are very decent! The pho comes in large and extra large portions. The large bowl did the job. My appetite is pretty big but I don't even think I need an extra large bowl. Who knows maybe I'll try it out one day. We'll definitely be back to try their other soups!

    I got the regular sized pho bowl and it had a flavorful broth. I liked that they had their own twist by adding a tender beef short rib bone. There is an extra large size available, but I think the regular was a good portion size as someone with a larger appetite. My dad had the mi thap cam kho, which also had great flavors as well. The restaurant can get busy so when you arrive there is a kiosk available to add your name to the waitlist and they will contact you when your table is ready. The food came out fairly quickly despite how busy they were. You will make your payment close to the kiosk where you add your name. The establishment itself is divided into a restaurant and take out portion that also offers pastries and other food. The parking lot is also fairly small so carpool if possible. The tables are fairly close to one another as it felt like I was pretty close to other guests. There is also a big television and speakers playing music, which was nice and not too loud.

    I've been coming to this place many many years and they have made their pho so good. Every single time I come here I look forward to eating their pho. It's one of my favorite places. They're banned me has the best pate ever , they don't skimp out on it. Their service is pretty fast. You kinda have to know what you're gonna order whenever you get there, but I will say you're coming here for the food flavor not for the service and I will take the flavor over anything anytime. They recently updated the inside of this place, so it doesn't look as old as it used to , but you will not be disappointed in anything you get everything has so much flavor to it. People complain about the service but honestly, the food just makes up for it and you're coming there just to eat and they will serve you fast and that's all you need for good food. I took a photo of the food. It's a little blurry from my bang mi, but I was in a rush. I forgot to take it because I was so excited to eat their food. Excuse the water on the thing that should be accidentally spilling water on it. Haha

    Skimpy Pate Chaud
    Donna V.

    Ba Le Restaurant looked the most promising when our group was in dire need for comfort Pho. The restaurant offered a wide selection of traditional Vietnamese soup dishes, but we came for the Pho and it was definitely worth the wait, and the price tag. The Regular Bowl priced at $16.75 was indeed a Large. The broth was aromatic and every bowl came with the most tender fall off the bone beef short rib. We also ordered Banh Mi / Hu Tieu Bo Kho and thought the curry under taste was unfamiliar to what Bo Kho is supposed to taste like. We grabbed a few Pate Chaud on the way out, the pastry wasn't good and was extremely skimpy on the filling. The overall experience was solid, the restaurant was busy when we walked in and it stayed consistently busy when we left. If you are in the Arlington area, stop by Ba Le Restaurant and get yourself a steaming bowl of Pho, you will not be disappoint.

    Yummy Viet spot in Arlington. Private lot parking that can get interesting during meal rushes. Obviously a favorite here. bánh canh tôm cá - shrimp and fish large vermicelli noodle soup. Nice warm bowl of savory soup, and shrimp was springy & cooked to perfection. Fish cooked to a nice flaky texture too. I wish the noodles were chewier as they were a bit too soft for me. Yummy still. Sugarcane juice - so refreshing & delicious. $7 for a large, worth it. Pretty sweet so even if the ice melts it's still good. I'd drive out of the way just for this. Plenty of indoor seating and bathrooms are relatively clean.

    PHO!

    the meatballs are homemade and sooooo gas and the broth was definitely made with love. walked in, very busy restaurant and good atmosphere. they had a section to buy eggrolls and bread while waiting to be seated. we waited like 10minutes even though we went during church rush. phenomenal experience. would def go again.

    Pho was good. But there wasn't enough meat other than the rib bone. I think if there was more meat, it would be a five star!

    I honestly don't know how I haven't managed to write up how much I enjoy Phở Pasteur. Welp. That…read moreends today. If you want to dive face first into a tasty, comforting bowl of phở, look no further. I admit I haven't managed to eat all the way through this menu, but their beef phở (whether it's the rare steak, flank, tendon, fatty brisket, meatballs, or all the above) is so incredibly delicious, I just can't seem to move on--especially when it's cooler weather or my allergies are acting up or... Just whenever, okay? Seriously, the broth is fragrant and delicious and the side of jalapeños, Thai basil, bean sprouts, and onions are always fresh. I particularly enjoy it with a pot of jasmine tea. The waitstaff is always friendly and attentive no matter how busy it gets. I think it's much easier to walk around in the current location versus their previous one (that had lots of family style seating). It's hard for me to drive past Phở Pasteur without stopping for a bite. I definitely recommend it.

    Phở Pasteur Restaurant…read more Great pho. Broth on point! I'm told it's one of the best pho in Dallas area. It delivers! Great decor. Nice workers. Clean. Monster meatballs. Love those kind! ***FYI, I'm a crazy pho eater that has to have pho from all over. I travel far and in between the states. Eating from LA, Vegas, MN, WI, MI, IL, NC, OH, Manhattan, NY, FL, KS, MS, D.C. Canada, etc. I've had the best pho (rated by the expert locals) in LA, Hollywood, Chicago, GA, and FL. I make reviews after tasting their pho. I know what pho is good and what is fake!*** Do not miss this GEM! My Star System: 1=Dumpster fire. Don't waste your money 2=Disappointed. Lot of issues 3=Average, 1-2 issues. 4=Above average, I might come again 1-3 times per year 5=Highest. I will come back a few times a month or more. If I live far, it's at the top of my list to visit when I'm in town. Highly Recommended
