I tried this spot for the first time and ordered for a pickup. I ordered the Braised Beef Belly Baguette and a Kids Pho. I really enjoyed the flavor of the beef belly along side the veggies, so much flavor that compliments each other. I also enjoyed the kids pho, which only consist of the pho broth, beef and noodles tho wish there was a bit of garnish. There was plenty of parking and the service was fine. It's a casual spot and I'd definitely go back to check out the other food on the menu.
love the brisket baguette. It's so tender and juicy. A bit pricey, but it's worth the price
Les Ba'get is one of the main reasons I like to venture into Oak Forest during the day. It is a contemporary, non-traditional take on Vietnamese cuisine, which I find refreshing. In the past, I've tried the Filet Mignon Pho, a unique offering, and found the quality to be rather high. Notably, I enjoyed the broth. For my latest meal from Les Ba'get, I tried the Tofu Banh Mi, which is the best I've tried. In the past, I really liked the same sandwich from Les Givrals, but actually, I like the one from Les Ba'get even more. The herby sautéed onion and garlic mixed with the tofu is simple, but great. I wish more restaurants made vegetarian banh mi like this. The bread here is always high quality. On a different note, I think it's really cool that two non-traditional Vietnamese restaurants are located across the street from each other on Ella Boulevard: Saigon Hustle, the drive thru, and Les Ba'get, the café. The hole in the wall Vietnamese restaurants on the West side (Chinatown to Alief) are awesome, but I also like venturing beyond the usual. I've always found the service at Les Ba'get to be good, and because I've really enjoyed the food from here, I would rate it a 5/5.
Located in the GOOF district of the greater Heights area, this is a modernized and slightly more millennial focused Vietnamese spot catered to the neighborhood and its demographic. The interior is modern and ordering is done at the front with table service being minimal / none. We got a few of their shareables; spring rolls, bone marrow, and chicharron. They are all fairly tasty and different from each other, which we enjoyed. Their banh mi were a bit fusion esque rather than traditional and at a pricey $13, drew some initial judgement. They're large, have lots of meat, and are tasty even though they're not 100% the traditional profile that is expected. We enjoyed everything we tried here and it's a good alternative to the other basic pho spots which all serve fairly similar items and flavor profiles.
Please don't Banh Mi for not loving our order. I should have gone with their more unique choices like Old Smoked Brisket or Braised Beef Belly but figured can't go wrong with the classic Lemongrass Pork. We didn't like the overly charred flavor to the pork. The carrots and daikons weren't as evenly distributed so eat bite was as if I was eating large carrot. However, very cool and chill vibes inside with friendly service. Will switch my order next time.
I ordered extra prawns to go with my vermicelli bowl of coconut basil prawns. They arrived way before the actual bowl and are now getting cold. Very strange to send out the extra side before the actual main bowl. Then the wait staff appeared confused why the side dish was sent back to be remade after it had been sitting for an extended period of time.
Went on a Friday for lunch and was immediately impressed by the interior. The modern décor, featuring collages and framed photos from Vietnam, adds a charming touch that beautifully captures the essence of Vietnamese culture. I got the prawn banh mi to try because it's something not typically offered at other banh mi places. I liked how they cut the jalapenos, cucumbers, carrots, and daikon radish in a uniform manner so that the vegetables are layered nicely into the sandwich. The prawns were well cooked and the coconut sauce gave it a creamy decadence that thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, I liked this rendition of the banh mi. Be prepared for higher price points, but that should be expected given the area. The parking lot is a shared with the other businesses in the plaza. I look forward to trying the pho which I have heard good things about.
Vietnamese in Houston is so ubiquitous that inevitably many of them will ultimately mirror each other in food, ambiance, service, or all of the above. Very few of them (#1) will look like LES BA'GET, which has one of the most gorgeous interiors I've seen, along with a quality food and drink program to boot. It might resemble an westernized Asian spot in the burbs on the outside, but dig in a bit deeper and it's much more than a regular casual spot. From the lighting fixtures to the wall murals, furniture pieces to the high beams along the ceiling, this place has both a touch of contemporary vibes with a tinge of sophisticated decor. Big ups to their interior designer for creating such a gorgeous space. The presentation on the food is also on par with the decor: vibrant, colorful, and excellent plating. I appreciate the rich aroma of their pho broth and also love that they're one of the few establishments to offer a choice of baguettes and croissants for their banh mi sandwiches. Their goi cuon is very social media friendly and the fried banh bao is a nice spin on the classic Viet snack. As pretty and as tasty as the food is, the portions are a bit small, especially for the prices. Oak Gardens is not Bellaire Chinatown, so I understand their core demographic also comes with the territory with pricing. I'm also impressed with the selection of drinks, even though the menu is limited (as is their hours) but the pho'chelada is about as Houston of a drink as it gets. The yuzu collins is also creative and their pomegranate margarita is simple, but a stellar drink all around. Non-alcoholic options such as the classic caphe sua da or the all-time gringo fave, Thai tea, are both semi-addicting all around. The service gets a thumbs up and the parking is never a problem. They definitely accept credit cards and the space is ideal for small groups, lunch dates, and even a solo meal. While I wish for longer hours (#2), I am always going to look forward to my meals and subsequent visits to LES BA'GET. ___________ (#1) Or none at all. (#2) Since they close at 8pm most days.
One of my favorite places to get pho inside the loop. You order at the counter, get a number, pick a table and sit down. There's a ton of parking. the pho broth is flavorful and delicious but not too heavy, and the meats are perfectly tender. They let you add quail eggs too, which I don't see at a lot of inner loop restaurants. The chopped cheese banh mi is a perfect houston fusion food. If you like banh mi and you like a chopped cheese, you'll like this sandwich. the bone marrow is a large portion size and delicious. the only thing that makes me sad about this place is you cannot add chili oil to your food, you have to buy it for $10.
Best bone marrow treatment we've experienced! Lemongrass, garlic, ginger and a hint of sweetness, coupled with pickled carrots and radish, on top of the perfectly crispy baguette. Chef's kiss! I ordered the filet mignon pho and the broth was the clear winner! Savory, clean broth, no additional sauces needed. Great quick dinner choice for a cold day in Houston.
LES'BAGET was a place we had really wanted to go as their menu had interesting unique spin on traditional Vietnamese foods. Since we had a doggo along with us, they have outside seating which accomadated us having a doggo along. They will deliver your drinks and food to your table, even if you are sitting outside, which was nice. ROYAL EGGROLLS includes crab, shrimp, pork, and garlic fish sauce This was one of the things i was most excited to try. Honestly i couldn't really tell that it had crab/shrimp in it. It tasted like a normal Vietnamese styled egg roll. It was good nonetheless. Came with 4 pieces along with veggies TEXAS SMOKED SPRING ROLLS includes red leaf lettuce, vermicelli, basil, cucumber, bean sprout, pickled daikon and carrots, and as picked, oak smoked brisket and garlic fish sauce. This was the "most surprising" but not what you expect. Typical spring roll with unique brisket as a meat instead of boiled pork and/or shrimp. Was ok. The surprisingly thing was, there was only 2 pieces, but 2 pieces as in 1 spring roll but in half. BRAISED BEEF BELLY BAGUETTE includes duck pate, aioli, cucumber, pickled daikon and carrots, scallion, cilantro, and red jalapeno This was the only banh mi sandwich we had during this trip. Pretty delicious and unique banh mi actually. The beef belly was very tender. The pickled daikon and carrots are not julienned, but as large slices which was great since i LOVE having a lot of pickled daikon and carrots in my banh mi sandwiches ACCIDENTALLY ordered 2 things with the same type of beef. If i had known, i would have picked a different meat for the rice bowl below. OH WELL ! ROCK 'N' ROLL BEEF FILET RICE includes red leaf lettuce, cucumber, campari tomato, pickled daikon and carrots, scallion, cilantro, fried shallot and garlic fish sauce This was a nice sized rice bowl. Includes like everything inside a spring roll (except the vermicelli changed to rice). Beef is super tender as it was filet cut and flavorful. Good amount of food. STEAK AND EGGS include 6 oz filet mignon, shishito pepper, vietnamese pork sausage, 2 fried eggs, campari tomato, buttered pate baguette, yellow onion, scallion, and cilantro Same beef filet as the rice bowl above, except in a sizzling plate with 2 pieces of baguette with a good amount of pate on each baguette slice. 2 sunny side up eggs which was great to break and dip the bread into. Overall, pretty decent food. Spring rolls could skip. Everything else was pretty delicious. We ordered enough food to share between the 4 of us. Some stuff good for sharing, some not so much.
Had a great last-minute meal from Le Baget before flying back to NY. We were in a bit of a rush, but still wanted to grab something delicious to go. I opted for Viet because Houston does it better than NY. While waiting for our takeout, we got some cocktails. I ordered the most unique sounding drink on the menu--the Pho'Lody Mary. Yes, it's a bloody mary with pho broth in it. It was... interesting? I always go for the strangest sounding drink on the menu, and this definitely fit the bill. Not a flavor profile I'd seek out, but no regrets trying it. We also got a classic frozen marg. At $9 each, the prices were it!! The coconut basil prawns banh mi, which I ate at the airport, was so good. It made the pre-flight wait way more enjoyable. I also want to call out how beautiful Les Ba'get's space is. Even just popping in for takeout, I was impressed. This place was such a great find. Unique drinks, delicious food, fair prices, and a cool vibe. If you're in Houston and need a quick, quality meal (or an unusual cocktail), Le Baget has you covered. Loved ending our Houston food adventure on a high note.
This was my first time eating their banh mi in years. I live by Chinatown so I have the best picks there, but my friend I was visiting ordered this for our group dinner and it did not disappoint. Given the area, you can expect a higher price, but the banh mi was tasty overall. The meat quantity was generous and it was pepperier than other pork banh mis I've tried. I would've liked a little more mayo/pate to make the bread softer/creamier.

Still good after all these years To go for a quick lunch today They have added more food items They have bite sized pork rolls which are super crunchy (but I'll stick with the regular sized rolls for next time!) The pork with rice had a good quantity of meat and flavorful. We also like the Passionfruit tea with Basel seeds. Service is friendly. Casual ambiance with new wave music. I wish they had some combo lunch specials! Highly recommended in Oak Forest! read more

Just a heads up, you pay up front and after placing your order, you choose your own table. Water is self service too! I ordered the following: Lemongrass pork baguette (Bahn Mi) Pho with lean brisket and fatty brisket At first I was shook by how a bahn mi can cost 13 dollars and pho can cost 16 dollars. But honestly, the price was pretty justified haha. Starting off with the bahn mi, there were plenty of pickled vegetables (which were sliced and folded very nicely) and generous amounts of lemongrass pork. The pork was marinated and flavored well- I will say though, although I love the chargrilled/smokey flavor, it was personally a little too strong for me. Everything else about the bahn mi was very well done though. The pho was delicious. Savory broth and the quality of meat was solid. Not sure if anything beats the OG's in Bellaire but it's pretty on par. Aside from the delicious food, the interior was beautiful. The decorations, set up, bathrooms, etc were all well put together. I hope to come back and try other items on their menu! read more

Food: I tried the Banh Mi with Lemongrass Pork, which was good, but I preferred the Banh Mi with Beef Belly. The Beef Belly had a unique flavor that stood out, whereas the Lemongrass Pork, while tasty, didn't offer anything different from what you'd find at other restaurants serving the same dish. I'd definitely recommend the Beef Belly. 8.5/10 We also ordered the Combination Pho. The portion was generous, but the broth could have been better. It just didn't hit the mark for me. 7.5/10 I also tried the Fried Banh Bao. It was fine--nothing special. It tasted like your typical Fried Banh Bao. Service: It's self-service here, but the staff was friendly and efficient! 10/10 read more

I absolutely love Les Baget! But can we PLEASE get an option to do something about the distribution of veg to meat. Some bites are just a big block of veg and others are just straight meat. I am holding my 5th star hostage until our demands are met! Service was fast and easy food came out fast. Awesome rustic ambiance. read more
As you can see from the pictures, their food is not your typical Pho spot around town! The main reason we come here is for the bone marrow they serve, harder to find around town that is full of flavor like theirs. They serve it in a sizzling pan, so beware! Their broth is no doubt very good, as well, but I can be a picky one with my pho and have found cheaper places around town that are comparable or even better. Regardless of that, it's a place to check out! You order and they come bring you the food, there's not much wait staff interaction outside of that. read more
I always drive by this spot and today I decided to order delivery! I'm trying to find a good pho spot and this isn't it. There's just something about it that I can't put my finger on, but I just didn't like it. The portion size for the bowl of pho, however, was huge! I was given like 4 servings of noodles and there was a generous amount of meat on top. Good amount for the price. The banh mi was the star of the show. I got the beef belly banh mi and the bread was glistening, not too crunchy, was chewy, and perfect for me. I wish the beef was more chopped up because it got kind of hard to chew, but was very flavorful. I like how the vegetables were all sliced and cut to the same size so you get a little bit of everything in each bite. If I decide to dine in, I'm going to try the bone marrow and definitely get the banh mi. Parking here is not bad, but the lot can get busy with all the other shops around. read more
elegant casual vietnamese food spot known for their delicious bahnmi! their bahnmi have an french twist on them as they are servered on a french toasted baguette instead of the traditional bahnmi bun. i highly recommend the lemongrass pork baguette. their bahnmi's are filled with flavorful pork and pickled vegetables. **sadly they have discontinued their option for ordering on a crossiant which disappoints me as having the lemongrass pork on a crossiant was uniquely delicious including cucumbers, carrots and jalapeños. read more

visited les ba'get with my friend before heading to luce. it's order-at-the-counter style, then you grab a seat. we both got baguettes in different flavors--lemongrass pork and braised beef belly. both sandwiches had duck pâté, aioli, cucumber, pickled daikon and carrots, scallion, cilantro, and jalapeno. the braised beef belly was really good--super juicy and it balanced out the baguette perfectly. the lemongrass pork, however, was a bit dry, which made it harder to enjoy. the banh mi looks really nice when assembled, but the way they layer the pickled veggies on just one side isn't ideal. would've been better if they spread everything out evenly, so each bite has the full flavor. it's on the pricier side, so for the food alone, it might not be the best value. that said, the ambiance is nice, so you're kinda paying for the vibe too. overall, decent, but not sure if I'd rush back just for the food. read more
The food is very flavorful...the oho broth definitely isn't water down. In fact, they tout that the broth has simmered for 24 hours! The prices tho -- man oh man! Prices are at least double what I am used to! For example, the vermicelli bowl I had was $15!!! My hubby's pho (albeit it ha dfielt mignon meat) was $17!! PRO PARENT TIP: No kids menu that I saw. But portions are large enough to share with your little ones. Bigger kids will likely need to get their own plates. read more

Bowl portions are IMPRESSIVE! I was craving Asian food but didn't want anything too heavy. We showed up on a Sunday afternoon and were able to order in line right away. The interior feels modern, spacious, and clean. The bone marrow is a great shareable and beautiful in presentation! Vermicelli bowls are huge and also good - I think this dish was the best bang for your buck as the prices are on the higher end for Vietnamese food. The banh-mi was not my favorite, but they have some interesting non-traditional flavors. read more

Good tasting bahn mi, but kinda expensive. I'd personally prefer a traditional $5 bahn mi you can get at other Viet places. I tried both the lemongrass pork baguette and the braised beef belly baguette. The braised beef belly baguette was amazing, the meat was very moist and juicy and drips out of the bottom of the sandwich. The lemongrass pork on the other hand was very dry and somewhat plain. Interestingly, I don't think the baguettes were buttered on the inside (which is what I'd normally expect) which made the lemongrass pork baguette extra dry. I also tried the Vietnamese iced coffee which appeared to be premade since they served it on the spot with a scoop of ice. The taste was fine but one of my main complaints is that my drink was not even close to being filled to the top of the to-go cup. Normally, I'd expect being served a glass with a traditional Vietnamese coffee phin filter on top and then an extra glass with ice to pour the coffee into. Maybe they don't do this because the restaurant is more cafe style. I didn't try anything else on the menu there, so I'd only recommend the braised beef belly baguette out of the two. The service was quick and the vibe of the interior was nice and well decorated, but the menu is quite pricey - $13 for a bahn mi. read more
I really wanted to try the baguettes at this restaurant but ended up lovingg the lemongrass grilled bone marrow- it tastes so good when smeared on toast! The Lemongrass Pork and Oak Smoked Brisket baguettes definitely had a less traditional flavor but they were was huge! I also got a spring roll (didn't know it wasn't the crunchy kind) - fresh and tasty but a littlee bit pricey. Overall, not the traditional flavors Vietnamese food but very unique and tasty! Service is fast, you order at a counter and sit down at a seat of your choice! The inside is really roomy with lots of windows, and the decor is very modern! read more

Came here with coworkers for lunch and it was very good. You must order first before seating and they'll bring food to you. I ordered the braised beef belly bahn mi baguette and it was really good and spicy from the jalapeño's in sandwich. The ambiance is nice with family style tables. The pho and salad looked really tasty as a few others ordered. Definitely will return again for lunch. My only issue is the weird box they put the sandwiches in, it's hard to eat out of and very impractical but just for presentation. read more

Ambiance - i loved the decor of the place. I went during a slow time so it was fairly quiet but it's a nice clean place to eat in. No complaints at all about the ambiance. Service - it was good. Nothing bad or good to say about it. The clerk was pleasant and took my order just fine with a smiling face. She answered a couple of my stupid questions :-) and that was it. Pho orders aren't too complicated. Food - I ordered the beef pho with Filet Mignon. It was a delicious bowl of pho I must say. The broth was rich, concentrated, and dark. Plenty of flavor although a litter sweeter than I'm used to. But that didn't take away from its pho-ey goodness!! Veggies were all fresh and crunchy and it was piping hot just like I love it. The spring roll was pretty good too. Nothing too special but I could tell it was made/rolled fresh so I give them props for that. Overall this place wasn't a big standout from the million other Pho spots I've been to but it was definitely a very pleasant experience to eat here. I highly recommend it. read more

Definitely a delicious feast but holy cow it's expensive AF. $15 for pho, $13 for a simple sandwich. It's good but is it that much better than the cheap spots in Asiatown or near the Galleria or Spring Branch? No. Go to Roostar instead. Yummy bone marrow though!! Service is fine. Ambiance is v casual. read more
Overall score: 2.87 out of 5. I visited because of the great Google reviews, but my experience was disappointing and did not live up to the hype. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was okay, but the food--especially the Bánh mì--was subpar. I definitely wouldn't return for it. read more

We tried to have lunch here just now & they are locked out by the land lord for rent. Does anyone know if this is going to be permanent or just temporary while they work something out?
they are currently opened!
Does this place still have beer or cocktails?
I know they sell beer, I don't know about cocktails.
