Ba Lẹ - Boston

Not prestressed BEST CRACK BANH MI SANDWICH in the STATES!!! Many great options for food and desserts. Use the waiting and difficult parallel parking

I'm from Southern California and was in Boston's host family and last minute needed egg rolls. I called and could order for the same day pickup. Thanks for the last minute Banh Mi Ba Le

Every time we visit Boston, it's a must. We bring coolers and ice packs. You have a food station where you can order sandwiches. I prefer the beef, extra sharp. You're the best on the east coast. Are you looking for other Vietnamese cuisine? You have so many possibilities! We always grab some of the milk free coconuts with pandan, grass jelly, beans, etc. The Ruck is also good. The store itself is packed to the pebbles and has no frills. A diamond in the rough. This store is packed with food as it is a Vietnamese grocery store with many prepared foods on site. The staff is very friendly and most are fluent in English. Just out. You can call orders. Parking is usually a circus. We find free street parking within a block, but traffic can be difficult. Next time, I'll take photos if I don't shoot the food right away.

A great place to pack Vietnamese sandwiches, lunch combo boxes, hot/cold bubble tea, coffee or bakeries. We are out of town and stumbled this place after we had a desire for Vietnamese food. We have grilled beef and pork sandwich, $6 or $7, and they were delicious, plentiful. There are so many dishes, I want to try everything. The spring roll and Tofu fa Dessert were from the world.... A few cons: no place to sit, eat not so insecure what it is or cost, line was long and wrapped around the store.

Banh Mi Ba Le is honestly a great spot for affordable and tasty banh mi and pandan desserts. I got the banh mi chay (4/5), or meatless with tofu, and it was very flavorful. I don't know what they put in that yellow mayo-like sauce, but it's packing flavor. I also really enjoyed the pandan cake (4/5) for its strong pandan flavor and great chewy texture. I also had a pandan sticky dessert (not pictured) which was 5/5! I also bought some pastries, but they were mislabeled (grabbed red bean which ended up being meat, and grabbed custard which ended up being taro). Overall 4/5!
