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.

Grilled chicken banh mi

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.

Large Pho Bowl with brisket meat (2. Gau)

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!

Pho Bowl

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.

This is a small chain of restaurants and they have a location here in arlington, one in north richland hills and another one in garland. They use fresh bread when making their sandwiches and you can tell the difference it makes. Fresh bread has a nice crunch to it and I can tell the difference when its a day old bread. I once went to a restaurant in the area and purchase a banh mi and the bread was chewy, in a bad way. Don't get me wrong, it was good and edible but it does not compare to the crunchy crispy bread that saigon deli uses. Plus that sandwich as this restaurant was like $7 compared to the ones from saigon that is only $5. If you purchase 3 sandwiches you technically get the 4th one for free. I get this offer and eat one there, give the other one to my brother, save one for lunch for work the next day and save one for dinner that next day as well. The drinks I had from there are very tasty but i only had about 3 of them, still recommended getting some of those. They also have can soda and bottle water. Also don't sleep on the eggrolls they sell, if they have any left over. My only complaint that I have is that if you get here an hour or two before closing they will most likely be limited on the kinds of sandwiches they have. I been there an hour before closing they are out of everything except the combination. Which is fine but my favorite is the pork and the pork floss. Also those jalapenos that they put in there are spicier than you think so beware. The lady at the cash register is always nice and never had an issue with their service. Overall a solid place to get banh mi if you are in the area.

Whoever is reading this... you must try the Caramel Gang at least once in your life.

I wasn't entirely sold when first reading the description, but I'm already a big fan of apples and caramel with a side of cheese.. why wouldn't I love a sandwich version? And I do. The Caramel Gang is a perfect mix of savory and sweet flavors with all the best textures going on: soft mozzarella, gooey caramel, and crunchy, crisp, tart green apples.. it's so fun and interesting and entirely delicious. I like to pair it with the tomato bisque, which is served on Tuesdays and Thursdays (potato soup on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays, broccoli cheese on Wednesdays). Don't sleep on this sandwich shop. They have a simple but memorable menu of fantastic paninis, sandwiches, salads, soup of the day, and scratch-made desserts like coconut cream pie, banana pudding, and chocolate chip cookies. Mmm so good!

It was burger night and we found a well recommended restaurant that we drive by when traveling in…read morethe area but never noticed it. Maybe Kroger is so dominant that it over shadows the other business. The order counter is at the front with drinks in a refrigerator and home made tea adjacent. We sat ourselves at a table and started a conversation with a couple that frequently dines here. The man stated the French fries are the best in the area. They are double fried with Lawry's seasoning. They were eating their favorite, a Philly cheesesteak and. Chicken sandwich. We ordered mushroom Swiss burger and Big Tex. French fries and sweet potato fries. When I tasted the fries, I confirmed the man's acclimation that the fries are the best around. Our burgers were equally good, very moist and cooked to perfection. The prices are reasonable. This is now one of our go-to burger restaurants.
