Ba Le

Ba Le, your sandwich was on point. The craftsmanship and meat to bread ratio made you a clear winner of our local family Banh Mi challenge here in the DMV area.

Good place to buy French breads, steam pork, Vietnamese crepes, rotisserie chicken for lunch or dinner if you don’t want to cook at home. Good foods with reasonable price. Highly recommended to everyone.

I am rediscovering this place. I first visted the store during the 1990's and they were serving excellent Vietnamese ice coffee, the real stuff with the personal size fresh cafe ole coffee, drip over a cup of ice and sweet condensed milk from a personal size coffee dripper. None of that day old cafe ole with tapioca BS, like the ones I got at the Eden center. I didn't revisit this place until about 2 weeks ago(I stopped going because of the personal issues, not because of the store), the last I was here was almost 25 years ago. It has been a quarter of the century, and this place is still around and just as busy as before, the food must be good just based on that factor alone. The reason I revisited this place was because this is the only place that I know of that has the head cheese in th

The quality of this shop it has TANKED since the ownership had changed. ** Why keep the Vietnamese shop name and not uphold the Vietnamese essence in the food?** I don’t care if the new chef ‘warned’ about the quality not being the ‘same’. I picked up a few banh mís and spring rolls a few months ago and was extremely taken back by the literal lack of flavor in the meats and fillings. I know everyone makes their food a little differently, but there are basic recipe ingredients you should follow in making Viet food that this shop no longer feels they have to follow-new owner it not. I am so disappointed in and embarrassed about the lack of respect to the name. Definitely NOT going here ever again.

TLDR; One of the best Banh Mi I have had. CARRY CASH So this is a convenient store with a sandwich shop in it. They have plenty of pre-packaged food among other convenient store stuff. The person who took our order was uninterested and cared very little for our order and there was this band of woman behind him prepping the sandwiches. The food came out in about a minute. As far as I remember, they did not have any sitting area. We had 3 banh mi and sesame balls. All 4 items where incredible. I would go back just for those sesame balls. The sandwiches were top tier and the portion was just enough.
