Love La Bou! Been a loyal customer for over 13 years. Chinese chix salad and thier Tomato Bisque is the best. Have enjoyed the majority of changes implemented by new owner but one change has me bewildered. Why does La Bou now stop making the best chocalate chip cookies at 1:00 now? Just denied for the 3rd time ARGG! read more

It has been several years since I was last here. I was in the neighborhood and wanted a sandwich on a croissant, which sent me to La Bou. I walked in and was overwhelmed by the menu. There are three or more large ones hung up high, with TONS of busy colors, so it was hard to quickly sort through. The fellow behind the counter asked me what I wanted, and I didn't want to hold up the line, so I quickly asked him if they still made sandwiches on croissants. They did - phew! I ordered a sandwich to go, as I was in the midst of running errands and just needed a quick bite. Welp, that first bite was quite a surprise. There was a toothpick inside, laying FLAT IN the sandwich. It was embedded in the tuna. I just missed biting into that toothpick. That was NOT okay. I didn't finish the sandwich as I worried as to what else might be in there. I tossed it in a trash can outside of my next errand. Tonight I came to Yelp to update my review, and I was shocked to read the following: On April 8, 2026 (just a couple of WEEKS ago) Yelp reported that this La Bou had FIVE health code violations. All of this is quite enough for me. I won't be back, and I truly hope they improve their health standards, in addition to not placing toothpicks inside sandwiches. I won't be back. read more

Today at 10:37 my husband stopped in to get me a Chinese chicken salad when we got home and I opened my salad up. I was so disgusted I wanted to puke. I have pictures of absolute horrible chicken they was put on the salad. It looks like the chicken must've been very old. It was so bad that I ended up throwing away a large, very expensive salad. it was so unappetizing. I took pictures of the awful chicken. I will never stop there again. I have eaten this particular salad for years and ordered for many different Labou's. They were always great with nice white chunks of premium chicken. This was nasty old brown meat so disgusting. I don't recommend getting anything here and wasting your money. read more

I've been eating at La Bou for 25 years. Always loved their food. Something changed with the Spicy Thai soup and I'm super bummed. The last three times, the broth is very different. It's creamier, missing the cilantro and it used to have a little spicy oil floating on top. It also lack much substance; very little chicken and rice and no longer has sliced mushrooms. Bring back the original recipe please!! Last visit I also got a side house salad with dill dressing. I like my dressing on the thinner side but this time it was super watered down and lacked much flavor. read more

A Gatorade water bottle was charged twice the amount labeled. The barista/cashier just shrugged that that is what the price ring up as and didn't even care to make the correct adjustment blaming the new system is incorrect. The stars were for the croissant and potato bacon soup. read more

They stopped making their pastries on site. The quality is poor. The blueberry scones have little to no fruit. Changes to the physical restaurant did nothing positive and prices have skyrocketed. The tv monitors with pictures are cluttered and difficult to see They are too high. My friends and I will no longer be going for lunch read more

They lock the doors early. They say they close at 4:30pm but don't wait last minute. They won't answer the phone and doors were locked 10 minutes early at least. read more

This place has gone downhill ! They don't follow la bou franchise protocol and recipes . My baguette bread has mold on it ! Ans she croissant on my sandwich was old and stale . The dill dressing was watery and had way too much dill in it ! Overall bad experience they just don't care about the quality of their food ! Nothing tasted fresh . LOL read more

I went in earlier, around 12:30 ,and ordered a small Chinese Chicken Salad to eat there. The young lady working the register has zero people skills. I have experienced her poor customer service in the past, as well. Many tables were in need of clearing and cleaning, so people were having a hard time finding a place to sit. No one cleared them while I was there. There were no forks available, and when I mentioned this...I was told they were working on it. I ended up using a plastic fork, and no one bothered to bring out clean forks the 20 min or so that I was there. My salad was just OK. I used to really enjoy LaBou.,.but it has gone downhill over the past several months. read more

I love the food here but the wait is ridiculous! I did an online order at 12:50, it said my food would be ready at 1:20 so that's when I arrived. I waited over 25 minutes for my food!! The young woman at the register was less than helpful and had a bad attitude. I just wasted my entire lunch break so I likely won't be coming back unless I have a ton of time. read more

Love Labou in Folsom-grab a sandwich or salad there and you're eating like a king. Super fresh, nothing dry or sad. Busy spot though, so order ahead and it's ready when you show. read more

Great lunch place , good prices and fast service. Love the outside seat too. I always get the 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 Salad , just the right amount for lunch read more

LaBou is my go to spot for quality service and fresh food. The drinks are tasty, the sandwiches are made to order, everything is fresh and made with care. read more

What happened to Labou? They changed their menu which is hideous looking, and the food was almost unpalatable. One order was the Asian noodles. The noodles were gummy. It actually looked fake like a display model of the food they would use for advertisements. The roast beef sandwich was terrible. The bread was terrible and they forgot to add the cheese. Just really sad because it used to be a really nice place to go for lunch. But on a positive note, the staff was very friendly. read more

Ive been to basically every La Bou within 50 miles and this was the worst La Bou salad. The chicken is totally different (not the original ginger chicken) and they gave me basically ALL YELLOW LETTUCE. The bread tasted great however along with the La Bou coffee. Why change something so perfect :-( read more

Probably one of the better La Bou locations. This one is like it's always been, good fresh salads and sandwiches, pastries are great too. Seems quality has gone down in some locations. This one is pretty solid. read more

I ordered a small Chinese chicken salad and the girl rang me up for a full salad. I told her and she refunded me the price and it didn't show the tax refunded. I pointed it out and she said well that is how it works. I asked for a discount on the small salad which she gave me. But she wasn't very nice about it. She was very snotty!! I have been to every La Bou in town for 40 years. Their Mango iced tea looked so light and weak and barely tasted like tea. What is happening to customer service and the quality of our food and drinks? I will never go to that location again. read more

Their French roll is out of this world! And I never like spinach salads, but I crave theirs!! The dressing is the best I've tasted outside of homemade. They are wonderful! read more

Took 15 mins for a baguette and dill sauce. Cmon people. How long could it possibly take to cut a piece of bread and grab some sauce from the fridge read more

I can't believe they don't open until 8am now? It's a breakfast and lunch spot only? I'm so disappointed, maybe this will catch someone's attention. read more

La Bou is my favorite. They will make a half sandwich when that's all I want to eat. Other stores won't unless you buy the combo. Service is fast and efficient. Dining room and bathrooms are clean. I recommend this store to anyone. read more

I love the chinese chicken salad and bread. It's so good. Ask for extra dressing and dip the bread in pro tip.
