" Tried Ba Lẹ for the first time, and the service was friendly, though a bit slow. I had the traditional pork banh mi, and it was worth the price for the portion! I’d return to explore their other dishes that look enticing! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just discovered Ba Lẹ Restaurant, and wow, what a gem! The banh mi is beyond delicious, and the bread is perfectly crispy. The selection of snacks is impressive. I had the crab spring rolls, which were just delightful! I can't wait to visit again, and I’ll definitely be bringing my friends next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic experience! The banh mi here is top-notch. I tried the special combo and loved every bite of it. Fresh veggies, flavorful meats, and the bread is out of this world.

" I'm a regular at Ba Lẹ, and I truly appreciate the picky ingredients they use in their dishes. The crab spring rolls are my favorite; they are worth every penny!

" This was my first time at Ba Lẹ, and I was really impressed with the variety of options available! I tried the grilled pork banh mi and an iced coffee. The sandwich was packed with flavor, but I wish it had a bit more spice. The staff were friendly, but it did get quite busy during lunch hour. Overall, a great experience, and I’ll be back!

" The great variety of authentic Vietnamese food at Ba Lẹ was such a delight! I especially loved their desserts; the sweet treats were a perfect ending to the meal. The only downside was the wait time, as it gets very crowded. But once you’re at the counter, the service is quick as lightning! " (*Curated Review*)
