Called here on a Sunday afternoon to make a reservation for seven people at 6:15PM and they were…read moreable to accommodate. We arrived very early but were seated right after they put the tables together. Staff is very quick and friendly. Came here bc their banh cuon and bun bo hue looked amazing on Yelp and it definitely was! The banh cuon was a generous portion! We ordered two for the table and I ordered another to go! Still tasted good at home. Bun bo hue was packed with flavor and comes with blood and pig knuckles. I also added oxtail that melted in your mouth! The chicken wings app is the best one I've had so far with the bell peppers and onions flavor. This is a place worth driving back up to just to eat! They don't serve alcohol and they don't allow BYOB. FYI.

Its a mom's and pop's shop. I think both servers are their children and are very nice people…read more(including the owner)! I don't think the prices on their menu are justified for the big portions they serve! Yes, they give plentiful ingredients for lower than standard menu price compared to my local area. I don't go to Dorchester often, so I am not sure if the other Vietnamese restaurants within its vicinity have similar price range. But this restaurant is definitely worth checking it out as it has a decent selection to order. I had Bun Bo Hue and my friend had #75 Crab Noodle Soup with Water Spinach. Bun Bo Hue was not spicy, was on the sweeter side, but it was flavorful! They provided me a saucer of chilly oil to adjust spicy level to my liking. #75 was good as well and like I stated it had plenty ingredients (at an affordable price)! If you are looking for modern or intimate atmosphere, this is not it! If you are okay with old school look and closer to homemade food, go for this one!

Love going to Ba Le in Dorchester, for a quick bite! They…read moredon't have dine-in, just take-out. Love the variety they offer here. They're popular for their banh mi sandwiches & drinks. I enjoy getting their cold cut banh mi with extra butter and pate! I like that their baguettes are not too thick and are quite flaky. The bread to filling ratio is perfect each bite. Every time I visit, I always get a cold cut banh mi, nem, and sugarcane juice or an iced coffee. Super quick service. The line can seem daunting at times, especially in the early morning or lunch time but I promise it does move fast!

I really don't see any complaints anytime I'm here. Since my grandma to my parents to me as an…read moreadult. Ba Le is my only go to for banh mi, snacks and the occasional hot food. Two cups of fresh sugarcane and I'm good to go! Prices go up, as cost of goods go up. Still a bargain compared to other sandwiches you get for more money! Filling is always generous, you want extra butter pate? Just say so yes it cost a little more but they don't just give u a tiny bit, they smack it on your sub. The tall handsome guy at the register is always cool as hell! We also get jerky and nem with the pepper pretty frequently. Nice snack when you got class or work. I've gone out and tried so many other people's favorites because they wanted to hate on BaLe, and honest opinion lol, those other places don't even come close. They have long lines here during lunch rush or morning rush, but it moves. The bread is fresh every day. I'll just stick to my day 1. Thanks. But ayyyeee bring in more nem nuong for my custom sub haha jk.

For a late lunch, I stopped by Pho 2000. On a Wednesday at 2 p.m., it was empty. I put in my order…read morefor spring rolls ($4.50) and bun bo hue ($13.95). The spring rolls arrived within 5 minutes--two rolls, cut in half. The rice paper was springy enough, the sesame sauce wasn't watery, and the shrimp wasn't overcooked or old. I don't need to ask for much else at a neighborhood pho joint. The bun bo hue arrived a bit after I finished the spring rolls. The noodles were springy, the broth piping hot so the bean sprouts wouldn't sap too much heat, and the portion size was decent. I enjoyed all the beef tendon, but it was missing the pork blood and the funkiness of chili crisp that usually defines bun bo hue. The bun bo hue itself is a miss by its own definition, but still a solid beef noodle soup. That's the primary reason for 3* instead of 4*. Not a bad place though, especially for the price point. I'd come back.

The smoothie was made when I got there and had a silky smooth texture, not too thick, but not too thin. The service was quick to get everything made on a weeknight during dinner. The portion sizes are pretty big and tasty. The pork was full of flavor and the pickled carrots and radish gave great texture to the meal. I had the banh mi for lunch the next day and the bread was still crisp and soft on the inside. There's a few tables to sit and enjoy if you're dining in. Overall, I would definitely come here again for a satisfying meal.

The sandwich can be made vegan by omitting the mayo and fish sauce, and if you request the scallion oil and soy sauce, the flavors are quite delicious, savory with a hint of sweetness. They are generous with the proteins, although with the oil, the sandwich gets rather greasy and messy, but it's worth it. They also have a drink menu I didn't try this time, but it included sweet tofu, pineapple, taro, and avocado smoothies that seem interesting.

I rather fly back to viet nam to have bánh mì then eat them in the US because I have been disappointed too many times. I gave their Bánh mì xíu mại a try today and omg. I feel as if I'm sitting behind my dad on his moped while he taking me home after school again. The Bánh mì xíu mại here HAS SAUCE! IT HAS XÍU MẠI SAUCE! (This is a big deal bc no other place has sauce. Xíu mại whole thing is its sauce) The sauce is RICH and so flavorful - thank you cô Loan for making my sandwich today. I had my bánh mì with their Vietnamese egg coffee and it felt as if my tongue got blessed. To even out the creaminess of the egg and the rich sweetness of the condensed milk, cô Loan put extra black coffee to into the mix to adds more deep. My coffee was rich, creamy, right amount of bitter! I have brought my family here, my clients here and many of my friends became regular. I love this place and I love walking to it just for a cup of coffee when I feel down.

We finally decided to come and try Pho Que…read more It brought back alot of good memories when we got seated. I literally dined here every week when it was Anh Hong. Our first impression when we got inside was, nothing has changed. Same set up with a bigger check out counter. It was organized and clean. We were greeted and seated right away . Super friendly staff. The menu is much smaller than before. I actually like menus with minimal dishes. 15-20 options is good so you'll know what to decide. Me and the wife decided to try two new dishes instead of our usual which com suon and pho. We got their bo loc lac and bun ca. both dishes were really good. I really enjoyed the fried rice that came with the steak. It was actually that good I would come and just order that to go lol the steak with very tender and flavorful. I would 100% come back for it ($20) Bun Ca is something I don't usually order and it's been years since I had it. We saw it on the menu and had to try it. We're glad we did because that broth was really good. A good amount of dill. Gives you a side dish of fried fish . It's not inside your broth so it comes out crispy and hot. Definitely will get this again. For drinks, we were excited to see we could get avocado with durian. If you're ever in Houston, this is a huge thing. It definitely was good. Overall, im glad we decided to come here for lunch. The staff alone makes you want to come back. 100% please come and support them.

I tried Pho Que today after an amazing experience ordering from DoorDash! However, I was not as…read moreimpressed with the food today! I guess it all depends on what you order. Here is the breakdown: 1. Bun Bo Hue (Spicy Noodle Soup): Best around here, very authentic, flavorful and spicy! I have been looking for something as authentic like this and hadn't been able to find one around! 2. Banh cuon (Steamed Rice Rolls): Really good and have the right amount of toppings - the sauce is also good 3. Broken rice with eggs Long Xuyen - it would have been better if the pork and eggs come in a hot stone pot and served as parr of a family meal than a rice plate in my opinion 4. Hu Tieu Kho - decent, missing some signature toppings 5. Bot Chien - although it was crispy, it was so plain white! I was honestly disappointed 6. Vietnamese Coffee - THE BEST in town! Really authentic just like I got coffee on the street in Vietnam! Overall, it is a decent place! I am glad I tried a different variety! Just like any other Vietnamese places, some dishes would be amazing, and some are just decent! And I will know what I want to order from here next time: Bun Bo Hue!!

Turns out Chau Bakery is just down the street from Coco Leaf by Fields Corner T station. It is a…read moresmall storefront along Dorchester Avenue, and I lucked out finding a parking spot just across the street. Inside the deep narrow space there were two tables along the right in the front area. Very utilitarian. Not gussied up at all. Fridges on the left held some drink options and other chilled items. I walked up to the Vietnamese sub station where a gloved lady was restocking some cold cuts and waited to order my lunch for $4.50. A sign posted informed me that if I had the appetite, I could have gotten one of Chau's sandwiches free if I were to order 10. The crisp roll seemed a tad larger than what I was used to. It wasn't toasted, but was spread with lots of the creamy white spread, before a generous portion of the beef I requested was added. The sub was also well filled with a sauce, scallions, pickled carrots and daikon, and cucumber. I had asked them to omit the spicy and cilantro, and to go heavy on the veggies. A second lady behind the counter took my $5 and gave me my change. My order was handed to me in a bag complete with a couple of napkins. Turns out the beef was cool as well, so that's something that New Saigon in Chinatown offers that tops Chau - that and the toasted bread. But still, my sub was tasty and well filled, and my stomach full for $4.50. So I was content.
