I have always based my idea of the perfect Vietnamese Cold Cuts with Pate Sandwiches on the San Fransisco ones from Lees Sandwich and Saigon Sandwich I had almost daily back in my 20's Long Ago After trying both of them in SAN Fransisco last week... we felt that we needed to get back to Austin, Tx to see if our new favorite place was just as good It seems that San Fran versions were if anything a memory of what was or they just aren't as good. You can blame time, our memories of nostalgia, or lack of ingredients due to The pandemic Personal opinion & final verdict.... LE BLEU In Austin, TX is my official favorite Vietnamese Cold Cuts with Pate Sandwiches!!! The bread was soft and had a good bite and crunch, the veggies are clean, the meat if so tender, the pate is delicious and it is now the bar I set for a real Vietnamese Sandwich! They do it right with no excuses read more

Le Bleu - Vietnamese cold cut sandwich with pate no jalapeños So Good - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Today was my second visit to this marvel of a bistro. The first time by accident, this time I drove from South Austin to get back to the bright, flavorful cuisine. I ordered the Bun vermicelli bowl with spicy chicken (not so spicy don't worry) and added green papaya this trip. Fresh greens, perfectly cooked noodles and tender well seasoned chicken. The space is clean and modern and the young staff friendly and attentive. Ample parking and plenty of room for distancing inside. I'm from Seattle and haven't eaten this well since I left. Love this place! read more

I've been craving a banh mi sand which for some time now. The owners of this establishment also own Saigon or Vendor off the east side and also they are both Vietnamese so you know the foods going to be authentic. I stumbled in yesterday considering everyone and their mama was trying to take advantage of pluckers wing deal last night...I'll admit I was to for anti Valentine's Day. And no it's not because I didn't have a valentines it's because life comes up so my significant other was in a different state. Anyways besides my personal problems...I stumbled in here with already great expectations since the food truck is amazing! And I wasn't disappointed, I only tried the OG banh mi with an egg. Honestly the best banh mi sand which I've eaten. They are pricey for banh mi but they fill these sandwiches to the max...good luck trying to get the first bite into your mouth! I'm one satisfied banh mi customer, also they have a happy hour from 4-7 with some pretty legitimate food. I just honestly can't eat that much food in one sitting. read more

Le Bleu - OG Topped with a sunny side egg - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Very good banh mi! Good bread, right amount of meat (not too much), right amount of veggies, all fresh ingredients. I ordered the O.G., which has cold cuts like what other places call banh mi thit. The ingredients were all very good. The pate particularly stood out for me. Not all places include it. My friend got the spicy chicken, which he said was excellent and spicy, as advertised. At $12 and $11, respectively, they're on the expensive side but worth it. I look forward to working my way through all of their banh mi offerings. read more

Great casual spot for vegans! Loved the yellow curry with tofu and the pho with tofu. I'll have to try the banh mi next.

Really really good place! I had the pork banh mi and it was just perfection. Flavorful and wonderfully lean cut of tender meat. I will be back to try everything else! read more

Le Bleu - Pork Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

[4.5 stars great] I love Vietnamese cuisine. I recently heard about Le Bleu and a friend told me I'd love it. They have a shelf out front, where orders are placed for pickup. Our order: Shrimp Skewers, Fried Eggrolls (SMALL BITES); Garlic Butter Prawns (NOT YOUR TYPICAL BÁNH MÌ); Lamb (BÁNH MÌ); Grilled Pork (BÚN) Fried Eggrolls (2/$3; add-on to Bún) - major disappointment, not worth the cost; very small, too dry, inside looks baked. (less than 1 star) Shrimp Skewers - definitely spicy, especially the aftertaste, these were great! (4 stars) Garlic Butter Prawns (NOT YOUR TYPICAL BÁNH MÌ) - generous filling, light batter, great taste. (4 stars) Lamb (BÁNH MÌ) - well worth the cost, very generous amount of meat! (4.5 stars) Grilled Pork (BÚN) - excellent value! plenty of taste and texture (5 stars) read more

The friendly staff at Le Bleu serve up fresh, vibrantly flavored Vietnamese food in a classy, casual, quiet environment. Each time I have been here I have enjoyed the food and received great service. I have enjoyed the Bò Lúc Läc on several occasions in the past but recently decided to try their Pork Bún (vermicelli noodles) with an eggroll which is my usual order at most Vietnamese restaurants. My dinner date had ordered the same and was disappointed that it was lighter on vermicelli than our other haunts but I felt the amount was spot on and I appreciated the mixed lettuce instead of the usual romaine and thought the pork was well seasoned and tender. I was less impressed with the egg rolls and would likely not order them again. We splurged on dessert and were glad we did as the creme brulee was delicious with a hint of orange. I also appreciated the sweet ice tea which being a jasmine tea paired well with my meal. Our most recent visit was on a Friday night during which time the large dining area had only a handful of diners which helped keep the noise down making for an enjoyable environment for talking over dinner. I love happening upon good restaurants that aren't so busy you have to worry about the noise but it raises my worry they won't fare well in the competitive world of restaurants. Fortunately for Le Bleu, although there were not many people dining in, it was clear that they do a healthy take out business as there was a steady stream of traffic coming in to pick up orders. read more

Wow. I am presently eating the lamb banh mi. Holy crap. This might be the best banh mi in Austin. No joke!!!! Delila and Bryan were outstanding. Must visit!!! read more

Fantastic banh mi sandwich. We've been going there for years and never been disappointed. The bread is always perfect. I get the pork and it is always well cooked and perfectly seasoned/sauced. My wife gets the tofu and loves it as well. The vegetables are always fresh, never anything gritty or undesirable. The spicy carrots add that extra zing. We've tried a lot of other banh mi sandwiches around town and none live up to Le Bleu. read more

Tried this place via Uber Eats because I hadn't had pho in foreverrrrr and I was in the mood. Bought the beef broth pho and a grilled pork bahn mi and it was faster to have it delivered than for me to go pick it up -- go figure. It arrived still BLAZING hot and I ate half of each for dinner. Delicious! I'm glad the reviews on UE didn't steer me wrong. Will definitely have to try some of the other tasty items on the menu! read more

The Pork Bun Vermicelli was delicious! Fresh ingredients and perfect balance of flavors. The service was quick and friendly staff. Probably one of my favorite restaurants in Austin! read more

Not what I expected, but still good. I got the tofu bah mi and it was a bit plain. The pickled veggies were nice, but the sandwich itself could use more flavors. Another modernized East Asian restaurant, but they have potential to do better. read more

Got the take out here which was delicious. Food: Crawfish - delicious Pork OG Banh Mi - very good Prawn banh mi - very good Popcorn chicken - very good read more

Arrived at the restaurant and was seated quickly. Ordered a pork banh mi, and it was delish! The bread was crunchy while also airy and not dense, the meat was super flavourful & tender! The pickled veggies were good (could've had a bit more of a pop to them but they were still good), the jalapeño was just the right amount (not too spicy or weak). Overall a super tasty sandwich! The bill came quickly after I asked, and a machine was brought to the table (I love this, it's so much better than the staff having to run to the back with your card in their hand). I will definitely be coming back & recommending this place for banh mi sandwiches! read more

Le Bleu - Grilled pork banh mi sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - Austin, Texas

I may not be the most reliable reviewer here because it's been sooooo long since I've had Vietnamese sandwiches. I have fond memories of a place in New York City that was undeniably amazing, and Le Bleu made me nostalgic for that. So thanks for the trip down memory lane! Whether I'm trustworthy or not, I'm still writing this review for my own benefit...to remember to come back for the delicious brussels sprouts and satisfying sandwiches. Plus the restaurant is right next to the skating rink! read more

A hot dog IS a sandwich. There, did I catch your attention? Good. I only want to talk about one thing - the shaken steak bánh mì. It is the best sandwich in town, hands down. Chewy, fresh bread filled with marinated cubed, tender ribeye, onion, perfectly crunchy watercress, tomato, radish...the sauce that collects in the bread is mouthwatering. It is always the same and always amazing. They do other things, like the sticky pasion fruit coated chicken wings, a bánh xèo egg crepe, or a green mango salad. Eventually I'll try the Cà Ri Chay yellow curry, eggplant dish or the lamb bún but so far, I just can't stop with that steak sammy for liiiiife. read more

I picked up my order via UberEats last night. Pick up was quick and easy. We ordered the grilled pork banh mi (add pate) and the chicken pho. I absolutely loved my banh mi -- the ingredients were super fresh and the portion of grilled pork was very generous. The pork had great flavor and was perfectly juicy. The chicken pho was not great -- flavor was bland and the pieces of chicken were a bit dry. It also gave my boyfriend a stomach ache. read more

Love this spot. Has the best Vietnamese food in Austin hands down. My only complaint is the price for the spring rolls are kind of insane. $9 for 1 spring roll is out of control. read more

We ordered spicy chicken banh mi, OG banh mi and summer roll. All of them are so delicious! I only had few banh mi before because I was never impressed, but Le Bleu definitely has excellent banh mi! The summer roll is similar with spring roll but more flavorful with crispy egg and meat patty fillings. I prefer the spicy chicken banh mi but the OG is also very good! Strongly recommend! read more

Food is simply fantastic. Eggplant dish and mushroom crepe are stand outs for vegetarian options. The Ban Mi is a great tasting staple dish service is good now that there's help. We love this place. Don't miss out. Bonus: Great cocktails too. read more

They served us very stale meats for the $18 waygu pho. We didn't expect such low quality of food. Wouldn't come back and don't recommend this place. read more

The food was incredible! Excellent flavors. But sadly, the service was HORRENDOUS. Our waitress was so so rude, easily the rudest waitstaff experience of my life. Order it to go and avoid interacting with front of house staff. read more

As a Viet person, I would say this was one of the better Viet places I've had in town, but I can't say I'll be back because Viet food is never meant to be this pricey. This review is based on quality alone. Easy parking. Lots of seating. Good lighting. Fresh veggies and great appetizers. The chicken wings and Brussels sprouts were great. Their vermicelli bowl was very good, but not enough noodles and egg is extra (usually comes with the bowl). I will say that they had some of the best fish sauce I've had in town. Reminded me of home. If someone else is paying, I'll be back. read more

I love the vegan crepes and the flavors are wonderful. The atmosphere and staff are both a pleasure. I can't wait to go back.

Yes please hunny! Their lemongrass chicken bun bowl is absolutely divine. Cold, crispy and flavorful on a hot summer day is just what I want. I also tried their Tofu bun which was equally delicious. The service is always amazing and has a very relaxing non hectic environment that is not often found in other parts of this town. read more

I'm giving this place 5 stars based on ambience, super friendly staff and the eggplant. I don't know how they make eggplant taste so good! My husband's banh Mi was good too- the bread and fresh veggies were the stars of the show. And the chili sauce is so good that we bought a bottle to go. Definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

We had the vegan Brussels and the tofu banh mi and spicy chicken banh mi. Everything was flavorful. The bread was crunchy and not soggy as well as not super thick which was nice change. The filling took center stage. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Stopped by here for a quick lunch to go and I am so glad I did! I ended up eating outside and the employees still came to check on me and ask if they could bring me a water. The food is amazing and the employees were so friendly! read more

Highly recommended. This place kills. Everything here was excellent. Fantastic bowl of noodles and steak. Great taste. Very impressed.

I come back for the mango salad! It's so full of all the good stuff: green papaya, mango, shrimp, herbs. It is a meal on its own! The bahn mi; I have had the pork and the beef are flavorful and full of veggies. It's fast casual, so for me it's a great lunch spot! I had been craving that salad and it did not disappoint! I wish I worked closer! read more

BEST bánh mìs ever! I love love love the sandwiches here. I've had the spicy chicken bánh mì twice. It was great both times. The mixture of ingredients was out-of-this-world. Juicy chicken thighs, creamy aioli, fresh pickled veggies--all layered together to create the perfect bite. The toasted french bread was soft inside and crunchy outside: a great vehicle for great fillings. The sandwich is really big and filling, well-worth the price tag ($8). The cafe itself is cute and brightly lit. Just order at the counter and you'll be scarfing down some delicious Vietnamese food in no time. I need to come back to try the pho! read more

I got the spicy chicken, the bread was soft and crunchy, the toppings were great, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

Everything smells so great when you walk in! They have fresh ready to eat meals or fresh premade meals for you to just pop in the oven. The staff is dressed as chefs and the whole place looks brand new, clean every time I walk in. There is always some free fresh sample of a delicious smelling carb that you will want 2 of available. Local soda water options. read more

Best bahn mi I've ever had. Our family loves this place! The food is amazing and the service was above and beyond. Bryan is an awesome server and helped guide us through the menu. We can't wait to go back! read more

We ordered online and ate at the picnic table in front of the restaurant. This was my first time eating at Le Bleu but have always loved their other location Saigon Le Vendeur. We ordered the OG banh mi, shrimp banh mi, grilled pork bun, brussel sprouts and spring rolls which were all fantastic. Everything was delicious and our order came out faster than estimated. Will definitely be making a trip back soon, as I craved it even the next day just reminiscing how good everything was. read more
