    Sticky rice $4.
    Stephen P.

    I was nearby and popped in. No bahn mi for me. I grabbed a $4 sticky rice filled with pork, shitake mushroom and egg yolk. It was pretty good. You pick it up from the self serve table in from of the cashier. I didn't get the friendly service that some reviewers have mentioned. I did get the sticky rice heated up. It needed to be unwrapped and heated for longer. It was just lukewarm. I ate it in the car with chili sauce they had. It's a bargain snack pick up. I enjoyed it. . It had quite a lot of filling. Pretty tasty. Not too dry.

    Ba Le is a classic staple that has been around for decades. It's affordable, delicious, and quick if that's what you're looking for. You can order in person, or call ahead to save time. The service here is pretty friendly. The place itself is small as the food is all to go only. I usually get either the Banh Cuon, Banh Out, or the Chicken Banh Mi.

    Pork banh mi
    Tab L.

    Was in the mood for a banh mi and found this place on Yelp. It's a small place in a strip center on Atlantic & Valley. Very unassuming. Got an egg roll (as an appetizer) for $1.50. It was good. Got the pork banh for about $7. A great deal. It was filling and tasty. Would go back if in the area and the urge hits me.

    I've been coming here for about 8 years now, and it's still one of my favorite spots to get bánh mì. The service is super fast, which makes it perfect for a quick grab-and-go meal. My go-to is the chicken bánh mì, it's always flavorful and hits the spot every time. Just a heads up, they're cash only, so make sure to come prepared. Definitely a go-to if you're craving something quick, affordable, and consistently good!

    #12 Pork Belly (Ba Chi)
    Alex J.

    Ba Le can not and should not be missed for an outstanding Banh Mi at a great price served by the sweetest staff! I stopped by not knowing what the menu items were since the menu inside the restaurant has the Vietnamese names. SO I asked which was just the "pork belly" sandwich and the girls informed me of the #12, so the #12 is what I ordered! And for only $7?? I was afraid the sandwich would be tiny but wow this thing is bigger than most sandwiches you'll find at the likes of subway or other gross chain spots. The bread was so light but crispy and crunchy. The pickled veggies were so crunchy and flavored nicely while the fresh veggies were so, well, fresh! The pickled jalapenos weren't too spicy either. There was plenty of thinly sliced but flavorful and tender pork with a good spread of mayo and the pate. It all fit perfectly together and it was such a delicious sandwich

    Shrimp spring rolls

    Got to love their spring rolls. They were all made fresh and ready to eat. Service was great and fast. Place is well organized and maintained

    #5 Egg Banh Mi.
    Jeanne W.

    This was one of my favorite sandwich shops when I was living in the area. It has been quite a few years since my last visit. I decided to order a couple of banh mi for lunch, a #2 Special and a #5 Egg. I noted a change in the baguette. The bread is now much thicker in size and smaller in length. It was still crispy on the outside and nicely textured chewy on the inside. There was also plenty of filling now. The meats and pork pate in the #2 Special were fresh tasting along with the pickled radish, jalapeños, and shredded green onions. The #5 Egg had several extra large fried eggs and plenty of the accompanying pickled and fresh vegetables. In the past I was able to finish two sandwiches and called it a meal. Now the banh mi is substantially larger and a challenge to finish just one. I ended up saving one for the next day. Overall, the sandwiches tasted like I remembered. Service is fast and efficient. The shop is set up for takeout only and is cash only as well. Other prepared food items are also available on the counter. A definite return visit if I am in the area again.

    Pandan Honeycomb Cake
    Mindy Z.

    7/25/25 Ordered for pick up and as usual, they're quick to prepare our order. This is a cash only no frills place. You pay when you pick up. The pricing is average for the size you get. They have buy 5 get 1 free deal. This used to be our go-too spot for Banh Mi's to take hiking since it would still be good the next day. I would typically get the chicken or shredded pork. The bbq pork is good too but a little on the sweeter side. Also just a note about the shredded pork, it's actually pork skin (I believe) rather than the traditional American pulled pork one would think of. I still like it though. However, I feel like the quality has gone down lately. The bread was quite hard and the meat wasn't as generous. We haven't been going lately so maybe it's the same but I never realized it till I tried better Banh Mi places. Pandan honeycomb cake was pretty dry. Wish they would include cilantro in the veggies too. Plaza parking available and it's usually not too full when we go. I'm giving this four stars considering the good banhmis we got in the past.

    Came here in the morning and ordered a #2 and #10 sandwiches. Our sandwiches were ready in less than 10 minutes. Both sandwiches were fresh and had lots of meat. Bread was crispy and delicious. Good portion for the price. Free parking in parking lot. Good service. Highly recommend!

    Ba Le is a SGV institution. They are definitely a contender to the colossal Banh Mi Che Cali since they feature an array of Vietnamese foods for such a great value but they are cash only. All the items we tried tasted amazing. Standouts would be the vermicelli plates and the egg rolls. Special mention item would be the egg rolls as it features taro and the amount of crisp is absolutely insane.

    Mix spring rolls
    Arnold T.

    I've been coming to this sandwich shop for years. Great option for quick and cheap eats. Each sandwich is made fresh to order and the portions are pretty generous. I got BBQ pork during my latest visit and it was exactly what I needed. Service is also quick and it took no more than a few minutes to wait for my order. The mix spring rolls is an automatic add on every time I go because, why not? They're good. Interior is small and this is mostly a grab and go type of shop. Parking so far has been management but when it gets busy, parking could be a challenge since there's numerous shops around that uses the same lot.

    Durian Smoothie
    Fortuna N.

    Cash only establishment! Prices aren't bad at all here and they do have variety of Banh mi, Banh cuon, coffees, and smoothies! 3.5 stars overall. My favorite was their Vietnamese coffee (4/5) as it tasted more strong in their coffee flavor and less sweet on the condensed milk. They give a lot of coffee amount compared to ice like most Vietnamese coffees are all ice. I also tried their Banh Mi (3/5) which had a nice airy baguette and they have pate on their Dac Biet. Their Banh mi was unique and came with onions. However, I did feel like the meats lacked flavor than other Banh Mis. Banh Cuon (3/5): Their pork filling inside also lacked flavor even when combined with the fresh veggies and fish sauce. Good portions though. Durian Smoothie (2/5): I always love getting durian smoothies when I see it on the menu since it's rare. However, this durian smoothie didn't taste much like durian and more milk and ice. Disappointed it didn't have the strong durian taste. I would recommend making the cup smaller so if they add little durian it can be more potent with less milk/ice in a smaller portion if it's expensive to make.

    Friday Sammy Tour #3
    Miori I.

    Friday Sammy Tour #3 *Cash Only Authentic, hand-made Vietnamese food, snacks, and drinks. Some items must be ordered from the menu. Other items like spring rolls and pre-packaged meals are also available. In addition to the food and drinks, small market finds are available on the shelves to the right. Fast turn around. Fresh bread. Well seasoned meat. I recommend the #8 Banh Mi (BBQ Pork).

    I loved the coconut tart the most. Every single tart here is very affordable here, ranging from…read more$0.95 to $2. The cheapest and simplest one is the Portuguese egg tart and the more fancy ones are either $1.75 or $2. I tried all of them: Portuguese egg tart, cheese tart, caramel croissant tart, tiramisu tart, berry tart, and coconut tart (my favorite). We also got the salted egg yolk croissant for only $1 which is a steal although I wish it was a tad bit sweeter to balance out the salt. It was a smooth process to go in and buy. They also have a variety of specialty desserts that are in the $8 price range if you want something more extravagant. I tried the King Panda which was filled with cream cheese mousse. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, but more of the latter. We went on a Saturday and it was pretty packed but we managed to snag a seat.

They are decent as well. It is the main lure. The cute cakes are "Asian cute", like you would know this is from a Chinese bakery kind of vibe. IMO they are overprice / maybe overrated and I think they only appeal to people who like these kind of cute stuff or maybe kids. otherwise I would pass on these overpriced themed cakes. The service is decent. The store seems clean. On the weekends, there probably would be lines but on weekdays they are less busy. I personally would not choose to wait in long lines for this. There is nothing extraordinary really. I'll come back for the egg tarts if I am in the area and perhaps try their coffee next time. Just as a side note, as of now, this bakery is located next to an abandoned burger joint Which hasn't operated or maintained for years. The portion of the shared parking lot has overgrown vegetation, and sometimes you would see "questionable " characters hanging around the establishment. this Is beyond the bakery's control. Good luck people :)

This particular location though, could use some work with consistency. The selection and quality of pastries and drinks seem to vary throughout my many visits. My top pastries are all of their croissant-like pastries, especially the Pastry Frank (filled with a savory sausage inside) and Mini Strawberry Lemon Cream Croissant (filled with a smooth and tangy lemon cream and fresh strawberries that add a tartness). Both of these have flaky, buttery exterior shells that are wonderful to bite into. For cakes, I love the strawberry soft cream cake. This cake is simple, light, and not too sweet. The thin layers of vanilla, soft cream, and strawberries blend excellently together. I appreciate that they provide free candles with whole cakes. An underrated cake is the green tea roll cake, which is delicious, but not ideal for celebrations.

Service was quick and everything came out exactly right, which made the whole visit feel easy and relaxed. I left very happy and already thinking about what I'm trying next time. I was definitely satisfied and I can't wait to return.
