Great appetizers and bun. We ordered the pork bun (vermicelli noodle bowl) with egg rolls, and the spring rolls. Spring rolls cost a little more than average but are more generous portions, and beautifully presented. The pork in the bun had a strong anise flavor, which I personally don't like. The bun ingredients were fresh and high quality, with an herbal note overall that was delicious. The food was presented well, even as take-out, and I love the compostable take-out boxes. More restaurants in Austin should do the same. I would definitely stop in again, and want to try the other appetizers during happy hour. I do wish they had a better wine selection - nothing fancy, just more than canned wine. read more

Le Bleu - To go packaging - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been to Le Bleu twice now, and both times were great. The vermicelli bowls are so full of flavor and the portions are definitely satisfying. I tried the spicy chicken and the marinated pork, both amazing. We also had the grilled pork Bahn mi which was awesome! One of my favorites in Austin We went on a Saturday when they had all day happy hour prices, so we ordered brussel sprouts, wings and grilled octopus. We ordered all three when we went back the second time! I thought it was a bold move to add wings on the menu considering there's a wing plan just a few door down, but these wings have such awesome flavor they can hold their own for sure. The octopus had the perfect texture and some nice heat. They just added an expanded dinner menu that I can't wait to try out next time we go. Highly recommended! read more

Come here for great Vietnamese food! My friend told me they used to do order at the counter service, but when we came in on a Saturday night, they had us wait to be seated/full sit down service. Try the Brussel sprouts...they are awesome! I loved the Tofu and Seitan Bun-large filling portion. Very friendly staff. Had no idea this gem was here and will be back! read more

Simply the best vietnamese restaurant I know in Austin, and I have been to a few. Fresh, confidently spiced and creative dishes (although the salt and pepper shrimp was more salty than peppery), served by friendly and smart waiters. Large and varied menu. Atmosphere: OK, could be more ambitious (e.g. cafe curtains, screen to bathroom hallway). Prices reasonable by 2023 standards. In short, a place to come back to again and again. read more

Good was good and service was good too! The man working there was great-he came by to refill our water like 5 times, and was super nice. I ordered the spicy chicken noodles, and it was medium-spicy. Fish sauce was delicious, and I think it was a pretty healthy meal for a pretty good price ($10). I'll try the banh mi next time, I wish they had some rice bowls! read more

Le Bleu - Spicy chicken - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Le Bleu is a pretty decent Vietnamese Restaurant. Their prices are higher than what you'd expect at a Vietnamese Restaurant and for the most part their food is good. What sets them apart from other locations is their aesthetics are quite nice and the drink options are great with a good selection of draft beers and even young coconut! read more

Just discovered my new neighborhood go-to. I'm very allergic to seafood (fish & shellfish) and tree nuts so Vietnamese food is usually a no fly zone for me despite how much I love it. I came here and ordered the vegan tofu & seitan bun with no nuts since the sauce doesn't contain fish sauce. It was absolutely delicious. They don't skimp on anything. The portion was huge and they filled it with toppings. The spice level and seasonings were on point and I filled two Tupperwares with leftovers that I'm already excited to have tomorrow. Their Vietnamese iced coffee was also delicious and passed my ratio test of having enough strong coffee and not being too too sweet. This place is a hidden gem and I can't wait to go back and try everything else! read more

Nicely decorated with fun lighting. We had excellent wings with great flavor wonderful presentation. The seating was perfect for large groups with long tables read more

I'm all about supporting local joints and really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this to the casual diner. First of all, expect to pay 2-5 bucks more for the same type of Vietnamese food that you can get around town. Granted, I think you do get a little bit more for your money but not sure if it warrants the upcharge. The main issue I had was with the Caucasian girl with the red hair who was working the front. I see that she was referenced already by another yelper so I'm glad I am not alone with my observation. Her condescending tone and rough attitude made it hard to have a good first impression. After basically embarrassing me on not knowing how to use their credit card system, I didn't find it in my heart to leave a tip since we order at the counter. After signing my bill, she looked at the receipt, then proceeded to laugh and shake her head. How tacky and unprofessional is that!!! Unfortunately, she was also our server so it was a great experience having her slam down our plates in front of us after waiting for 30 minutes for our simple made foods which made my zero tip call at the start, a golden move. read more

Don't let the French name fool you. This Vietnamese restaurant is delicious and much better than Dang bánh mì that was in the space before. No changes to the decor that I could tell but the food was definitely better. Staff was nice and the only negative experience what is the absurd tip line suggesting a minimum tip of 18%, it's unfortunate because that left a bad taste in my mouth as I felt obligated to tip before service was even given. read more

The mango salad and OG were legit Vietnamese. Even at 8$ for Viet sandwiches the amount of meat vs 5$ at other places is worth Updated: came back and got the nem nuong. Apparently the proper sauce that we got on the first visit was only a trial run. When I asked why I received peanut sauce, the waitress looked at me as if I was crazy they gave me peanut sauce for nem cuon. I tried to explain that traditionally we eat the nem cuon sauce with it and but she continued in a condescending manner to tell me to eat the peanut sauce it's good and the owner is Vietnamese and she knew about the traditional sauce. I didn't need all that.... just tell me you ain't going to give the proper sauce for the nem cuon... Wish I could get an og sandwich without the attitude. read more

The food was good. The egg rolls were really tasty. The O.G. banh mi was very good! The meat was so well seasoned and prepared. The garlic butter prawns banh mi was definitely a let down. Despite the name and the description there was very little flavor. The shrimp are battered and fried and the crispiness of the batter with the hard, crusty bread was too much. Had these not been battered and fried but cooked in a pan - and maybe a hint of "garlic & butter" - this would have been much better. The other reason for my 3-star was when I was in there yesterday (05/26 around 1230p) one of the servers (caucasian, red hair) was so annoying. She never stopped talking, interrupting the server taking orders, she was condescending, and in the middle of giving people lessons on vietnamese food (when they never asked for it) she would scream "egg rolls" to the kitchen (my only guess was in an effort to show guests how she could multi-task??? no idea). Super annoying. I am glad I tried this place and will likely do so again. read more

This is the best Vietnamese food my husband and I have ever had. Gourmet, and different from any Vietnamese cuisine we've had before. The grilled pork Bun is to die for. Tonight my husband is having the special, pork ribs noodle soup with quail eggs, pork shoulder, ground pork and pork ribs. Fantastic. The owner always seems to be here and is from Vietnam and boy, does he know his stuff. Inexpensive and sooo good - try this gem of a place. read more

Okay so you are up in north Austin maybe your car is in the shop or you have to go to West Marine to get some line or touch the shiny stainless steel boat parts and you are sooooo hungry but Pluckers is gross and Chili's is gross and everything is just gross. You know what is not gross? Le Bleu. It's so much the opposite of the nasty boring soul defeating death eater chains all around that all of a sudden the bleak strip mall that is Austin begins to shine happy. And that's before you eat the best Banh Mi you've ever eaten. And then you are really happy. And you haven't gotten their best Banh Mi because you are a chicken. read more

Delicious banh mi at an affordable price. Walked into le bleu during their soft opening around 2 pm on a tuesday, They had a limited menu but they offered banh mi sandwhiches and vermicelli bowls (BUN). I've never had saigon la vendeur but i've heard that it's the best banh mi you'll ever have in your life. I don't remember the exact price of the it but i know it was less than 10 dollars. I got the grilled pork and added an egg. which is a good price, ALOT better than elizabeth street cafe at least. The actual banh mi was good, the bread crispy, and the egg perfectly fried. I also liked the pickled vegetables. What was a miss for me what the grilled pork. it was a little too chewy for me and not charbroiled enough to tenderness. i think i got for large pieces of pork that i had issues taking bites from. Next time i'll probably get the OG banh mi sandwich. read more

Got the tofu spring rolls and tofu banh mi. best banh mi in town! it wasn't too crowded, service was good :)

Food was delicious Bahn mi was perfect and the salad sublime along with the Brussels sprouts It was a good spicy read more

Yum. Green mango and papaya salad was delicious, shrimp crackers were a throw back to my childhood which was a win. Hubs had the lamb bun - a unique twist on the bun, however chili garlic nuoc mam wasn't his favorite. Grilled pork banh mi with sunny egg was spot on; bread legit. read more

Great dinner. Place is very clean. Service was quick and friendly. Had the spring rolls, OG Banh Mi, and Garlic Butter Prawn Bun. The OG Bahn Mi bread perfectly toasted crunchy the pork belly is out of this world. Tried 3 new places this week. This by far was the best. Will definitely come back! read more

Best vegan pho! (I've traveled the country for good Pho lol) the broth is flavorful, spicy, complex and hits the palate in perfect harmony. The mango Papaya salad is a party in the mouth. Had the vegan version of course. Highly recommend it. This place is a gem. read more

This is personally my favorite banh mi in town. After [that other place] went under new management and fell from grace this place emerged as the new king. The OG banh mi is fantastic- it hits all the right notes. The lamb banh mi is very good too. The wings are good, not my favorite, but good. The egg rolls are exquisite albeit a bit on the small side. The pork vermicelli bowl is huge and rivals other places in town as my favorite. The pork was a bit fatty for my lady friend but I personally love that so it's a win in my book. Go here, be amazed. This place is on a hard rotation for me now. It's a staple. read more

Hands down best Vietnamese in town. Really not close in my opinion. The dishes look beautiful and the meat is extremely fresh. Steak on the bun came medium rare and thoroughly filled me up. Terrific fish that had interesting textures and fresh vermicelli. Obviously gotta add an egg cus they have the most beautifully egg tops in town. Just a great meal that left me planning my next visit. Can order easily online and beer and wine if dining in. Menu full of usuals like banh mi, pho and bun, but also some interesting specials to keep it new each time. Can't say enough about Le Bleu. Above and beyond expectations and a must try if you like Vietnamese and a picture worthy meal. read more

Been here many times and haven't had anything I didn't like! I always get the grilled pork banh mi, some of the best banh mi's here

It was a relaxing and comforting ambiance with a very kind and attentive staff! The food was also excellent, as they used fresh ingredients with unique and delicious flavors! Best spot for Vietnamese food in Austin!! read more

The food is good fusion food for those looking for good asian food to try. During this challenging pandemic year, I definitely recommend trying these fun dishes out and helping to support local Austin businesses from collapsing. It's a good takeout spot. read more

I was in a rush for lunch so ordered a sandwhich and spring rolls to go. The guy was nice and it was decently fast. My grilled pork banh mi was okay, nothing to rave about. They cut it in half and put it in a box all fancy instead of wrapping it up. Its a sandwich. So as I am picking it up and eating it cilantro, carrots, all kinds of stuff starts falling out. It was so annoying to eat. The spring rolls was good, they also cut it in half and put it in a fancy box. Its a cute and pretty place, but again, this is Vietnamese street food. I love that they're taking it on, but show me something more than food truck food in a brick and mortar store. read more

We got 2 grilled pork sandwiches to go. They were ok, but not great. Seemed to be missing something, maybe veggies not pickled enough? Or no fish sauce? Idk, but didn't satisfy my banh mi craving. Glad we got the siracha at least to pep it up. The bread was missing the crisp crunch, but that's prob bc we got them to go. Still looking for the same great taste we got from Saigon Sandwiches in San Francisco, which had great taste and at 1/2 the price as well! read more

Le Bleu - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

5/5 Great bún thit nuong. I love that the meat is cooked hot and fresh, the fish sauce is authentic like my mom's, and they didn't add anything to make it hip, just quality ingredients and made to order. 5/5 Mango salad. A twist on Vietnamese Goi (brined salad) to make it more relateable to western tastes. I usually don't like "fusion" but the salad is a "can't get anywhere else" kind of quality. You can't get this anywhere else. For people puzzled by the Pork Belly, traditionally its simply boiled and completely bland. Its made this way to be a carrier for the sauce. 4/5 Wings. Excellent execution but offers nothing new to the table. Its similar to Fish Sauce wings. Crispy and carmelized. Definitely not Pluckers but if you wanted Pluckers, you'd go around the corner. 3/5 Shaken Rib Eye over noodles. Doesnt really do it for me in terms of flavor profile but with a primarily western demographic, I figured something on the menu wasn't for me. I'll steer clear next time. 5/5 Curry Ramen. If you love curry and you love Ramen, this was surprisingly good! I actually dont like curry but as a Ramen snob, the noodles were perfect and the broth was a rich and flavorful. The pork was very cohesive and not an after thought like some places. read more

If you are looking for fresh asian food..look no further. Loved the flavor and aroma of fresh herbs (cilantro, basil..) and ingredients. In general I am a big fan of Vietnamese food because of its simplicity but each ingredient speaking for itself. And Le Bleu is the epitome of that. With covid-19 and my wife being a big fan of Banh Mi we decided to cater with Le Bleu for my wife's social distanced 40th. Le Bleu did a great job packing all great flavors in to individual boxes..showcased in the form of Banh Mi and Bun. Although we got vegetarian the food packed a punch. Highly recommend if your looking for fine Vietnamese food with fresh flavors. So dying yo try their drip coffee. read more

I gotta say... this place has been my favorite ever since the food truck won the food truck contest back in the day. At that time, I went to the truck before I lived in Austin. Since being a resident, I've been to the restaurant to either dine in or to go. My go to has been the prawn bun (salad). Every chance I got, I would be sure I visited because I was so addicted. I get it that things change and based on what we all have been through the past 2 years to date, change has been necessary. I've seen prices go up, portions get smaller, but I'd never expect the quality of the product to decrease. Last night I ordered my usual And paid a pretty good amount for the salad and I didn't care! I'd pay for that product because I know what to expect! However, last night, I found that there was shredded lettuce like you would get on top of a supreme taco at Taco Bell and 10 mint leaves. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed. I wanted to share because my wife said that she noticed the quality going down hill a month ago and I didn't listen. I realize now what she was talking about. read more
