Banh Mi Ba Le - Bag full of deliciousness along with noodles and fresh spring tools and fried springs worth the trip authentic Vietnamese deliciousness - Vietnamese Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

Super convenient location inside the 99 supermarket in Malden. Huge parking lot and if you need asian groceries, this is the place that will have it all! Staff are friendly here and despite a small storefront, there is so much to choose from! Not only are you getting banh mi sandwiches, they also have rice rolls, rice plates and baked goods! There are other things too. Banh mi - We like the special cold cut combo, and they were $7.50 each. These were excellent! Bread was perfectly crisp and filling was good proportions. Flavor was good and it satisfies! Egg rolls - $1.25 each. They are small but pack great crisp and the filling is tasty. Get 4 or 5. Rice roll plate - Not sure of the price but appears to be good portions and comes with one egg roll and it has some cold cut style meats. Includes fish sauce and you can ask for it to be spicy and they give you the spiciest (but so good) red chilies! 4 banh mi's, 5 egg rolls and the rice roll plate was $45.xx. This place is take out only but there are some tables in the middle area. This is not a place to go for a date...just for good eats. read more

Solid chicken pho with light, aromatic and flavorful chickeny clean broth and chunks of meat. Ordering was a touch confusing, you order in the middle where there is a break in between the glass cases on the counter before the register, but there isn't a sign or numbering system. Service was very fast. My partner had a BBQ pork banh mi and that was very fresh and tasty. Lots of food court seating with many tables that could have used a bit of a wipe, but we still enjoyed our meal. Would return when I want some fast and fresh Viet food! read more

They opened after we moved out of state so it's our first time. They have lots of things to select from, but we came specifically for the bahn mi combo. The portion is pretty big and they don't cheat you on the pate or the butter spread. The cold cuts and veggies were fresh. I'm not used to the onion in the sandwich, this is the first time I got onions in bahn mi. To me the onion flavor overpowers the flavor of the sandwich itself but it's still a good bahn mi. We also grabbed a basil grass jelly drink, not much a 'drink' since we picked the one that was super basil-ly and wasn't much grass jelly flavor. Also grabbed a colorful sticky rice dessert. Haven't tried it yet. Pretty cool place. The people are nice too. read more

Love the sugar cane drink as they make it fresh right in front of you. Their sandwiches are good and it is on the pricier side. The egg rolls are only okay. Service is prompt and friendly. read more

Banh Mi Ba Le (inside Kam Man Supermarket) is a casual and quick place for Banh mi. I ordered the cold cut ($7) which was tasty and came with a generous amount of vegetables I also tried the Thai tea with boba, but I would not recommend it. The tea didn't have enough condensed milk, and the boba was too soft Service was not great. The cashier came off as condescending and dismissive & he repeatedly said "we have everything" even when I asked for clarification about their drinks. It is what you get for a banh mi place. Overall, I recommend it for the banh mi itself but I'd skip the drinks read more

I've been going here since I was a kid! Still tastes delicious but it's definitely just gotten more expensive. The bread is also thinner now and they give less meat. They also sell the ingredients separately and other Vietnamese foods and snacks too. The store is like a little convenience store and the people are very helpful. read more

Cheap and so tasty. I always go to Ba Le when in Dorchester but this location had all my go-tos and was just as satisfying. I leave with a heavy bag stuffed with goodies for the next few days for $27-35. The line doesn't take too long. Tons of options to explore. The reasons I don't do much are 1) I love my go-tos. 2) lack of English signs (or any signage; though they've recently added some which is helpful. I wish they'd label everything). I always get a Banh mi sandwich. I've tried several meats and most like the chicken and bbq pork. My other go-tos are: - (dark colored) bbq pork (fresh vermicelli wrap) spring rolls, though I've also enjoyed the mixed with 1 pork, 1 shrimp, and 1 with a spam-like slice - pork floss buns: I've seen as many as 4 types. I just discovered the one with shredded seaweed as mochi inside! It's a bigger, flatter version of the pair of rounds that I always get at Taiwan Bakery - all the other baked goods I've had were delicious; they seem to rotate the offerings There are a variety of other goodies in front of the glass along the whole line. These are not very well organized and very few are labeled. I would definitely try more of these if I knew what was in it. read more

Banh Mi Ba Le - Mochi inside the pork floss bun topped with seaweed - Vietnamese Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

LOVE their food at this location. They have an array of items to choose from. My favorite is their banh mi sandwiches! They are huge, filling and delicious! When you walk into the 99 Asian Supermarket, Banh Mi Ba Le is located on the right side (their food court area). It can be overwhelming bc they have food to go on their counters--vermicelli, spring rolls, bread, etc. Their BBQ chicken Banh Mi sandwich is my favorite. The chicken is savory and flavorful. I usually get that and the bbq beef vermicelli with fried spring roll in the plastic takeout box. Prices are unbeatable as the sandwich is only $7. There are a few tables in the food court if you want to eat there. The ambiance of the location is nice since they have a good selection of food and service is pretty quick. Service is speedy as you tell them which sandwich you want and they warm up your bread in the oven. Then they put all the fixings into the bread with your choice of meat. Your sandwich will be come out huge and so tasty. And you can thank me later. Don't sleep on this location. Food is great, price is right! And you have so many options to choose from. read more

Holy smokes, this place is so cheap. I've never seen banh mi this cheap. It's $6 for the normal and $7 for BBQ pork or beef. Baguette was delicious and crunchy. Meat was solid; not the best I've ever had, but great for the price. They have so much other food packaged in to-go boxes on sale, too. Next time I want to try some of their pastries. Food court was very crowded - we couldn't find seating when we went for Saturday lunch. read more

I'm glad they opened up a closer location to me because I love Banh Mi Ba Le. It's smaller than their Dorchester location, however they still have banh mi, and a good amount of other Vietnamese food. Banh mi is $6-7 and I always get a few whenever I come. My favorite is the thịt nướng (#2). I also got xôi (Vietnamese sticky rice) which was good. The workers are fast at making the banh mi too. A great cheap meal option! Still my favorite banh mi location that I've ever had. It's located inside 99 Asian Market's food court and there's plenty of parking in the plaza. read more

Banh Mi Ba Le - Veggie rice roll plate with tofu & chicken spring roll - Vietnamese Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

Affordable and tasty meal. Ba Le is inside the 99 supermarket so it is more of a take out joint. There are chairs and tables if you would like to dine in but it's dim and sad looking. Ordering was a a bit of a challenge if you don't speak Vietnamese. Banh mi was simple, i pointed to the server for the meat/topping options. I saw fresh flat noodles and wanted to order but not sure how to (do I mix with meat, veggies or order as is? Later I found out the entree is called "banh cuon"). Luckily another staff who speaks English returned from break so I was able to put that order in. She first packed the noodles, then spam like pork meat, bean sprouts and a spring roll. A friend later told me that you can pick shrimp instead of pork. I always wanted to buy the pandan coconut jelly dessert but it's very hard to find fresh ones. Happy to find them here! Are you crazy for fresh squeezed sugar cane? They have a machine and you can see them juice in front of you! Please note that they do mix with kumquat (also my fav go to drink). The mix is great but next time I would ask for straight up sugar cane. They also have a lot of prepared food for quick grabs (papaya salad, bún thịt nướng, apps and treats) It would be nice if Ba Le list the prices for the goodies they sell. The board only listed prices for drinks, banh mi and a few prepared meals. I also found out that they serve pho and congee too! They will get more business if they list everything they sell. Would definitely go back to try other items. Their Dorchester location is bigger and has bakery section. read more

Delicious Fresh Banh Mi. Service was fast. Its such a far drive for me. I would eat here more often if it wasn't.

Amazing quality for the price. Best banh mi in Malden. I usually get the bbq pork. Wish they were open everyday.

Haven't been to them since they changed to this location but I was happy to find them again. Their fans have also followed as there was a long line on a Tuesday around 12. We got to try their traditional and BBQ pork banh mi sandwiches and a combination order of spring rolls. I almost think the sandwiches are slightly larger than they were before and prices were very good coming out to less than $20 in total. Quality was consistent so I will certainly be coming back for more! My favorite spring roll was definitely the one with the sweet pork so get that if you can. read more

Literally just finished a bbq steak style banh mi from Ba Le, hearty and delicious!! I've been shopping at the 99 Asian grocery store for years but never tried Ba Le. Service was fast and friendly, seating is typical food court. Going forward I'll be getting lunch/dinner there every time I stop by for groceries! read more

Smaller selection than the location in Dorchester but does have all the greatest hits. Banh mi sandwiches, drinks, prepared vermicelli bowls, summer rolls, egg rolls, tofu stir fry noodles etc. wish they offered the rice plates but still a good selection. Line wasn't too long on a Sunday afternoon, we were in and out under 10 minutes. I got a couple packages of the summer rolls and felt it wasn't as fresh as the location in Dorchester. They leave it out for you to grab. The wrapping on the summer rolls were a little dry. We also got the tofu noodles and a couple coffee smoothies. Relatively inexpensive. Would stop in if I'm in the area but wouldn't make the trip otherwise. read more

Ba le is a franchise Vietnamese bánh mì shop. I am glad that they open a new location near my place. This location located inside 99 ranch market's food court. Usually, ppl buy foods here to go. But you can seat at the food court if want. There is no servers, self serve service. They offer authentic Vietnamese bánh mì and other việt dishes. The quality of bánh mì in ba Le always consistent and their pate tasted amazing However, avocado smoothie here is sadly a no. Very bitter and too sweet at the same time. I think the one in Dorchester location is better. read more

My go-to Friday lunch spot and the most delicious Vietnamese food I've had in Boston! So glad I've discovered this hidden gem per recommendation from a friend. The menu is quite expansive with lots of options depending on what you're in the mood for - I usually order either a Banh Mi Dac Biet or Banh Mi BBQ Pork with an order Banh Bot Loc (tapioca dumplings). The staff is very welcoming and friendly, and there are tables inside to eat at once you've picked up your food. read more

Delicious Banh mi. We tried the beef and bbq pork. Fresh ingredients and fast service

This place is an old school gem... The Bahn Mi are superb and so many other delicious things to try. I also had a steamed pork bun and the coconut buns. All traditional, Chinese stuff and delicious. Hope this place is around for at least another 25 years. read more

Banh Mi Ba Le is finally here in Malden! And it's well worth the wait! It's super busy around lunch time and on weekends especially. But even with the long line, it's a fast move as they've brought over original employees from the original Dorchester location who have made banh mi for years and years. There's a lot of variet of Vietnamese classics from banh mi, to Che, to fresh spring rolls and egg rolls. At less than $7 with tax included, it's so much value!! The Dac viet is always my go to and it's always filled with the brim and nicely layered to ensure every bite is filled with a little bit of everything. The perfect lunch option if you're in the area! The baguettes are made freshly daily at this location and you can really taste the freshness of the airy bread. For less than $10 you can't really beat this whether you're on the go or looking for a quick lunch break! read more

Banh Mi Ba Le - Banh Mi Dac Biet - Vietnamese Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

Really good banh mi! The baguettes here are baked fresh daily throughout the day unlike most other banh mi shops. I really like that i can easily taste the quality and freshness of the bread whenever i stop by here. The bread consistently has a nice thin outer crisp and a soft chewy airy middle. My go to sandwich here is the dac biet cold cut banh mi (item #1 on their menu). It never disappoints, very reasonably priced ($6), and hits the spot every single time. read more

Seriously the best banh mi I've ever had!!! Everything is so fresh and delicious. Boston food scene is not that great but Ba Le is our hope!

Stumbled across this little gem while looking for some loose green tea in the Asian 99 Supermarket, which is extremely hard to find. I found the green tea AND was overjoyed to find this little place which is full of AUTHENTIC Vietnamese food that is even more difficult to find in New England, especially without the inflated tourist-markup. If you're curious about REAL Vietnamese food not the usual ubiquitous (and mostly half-assed) "pho" a.k.a. rice noodle soup, come here and just sample all the ready-to-eat things they have on offer. The "banh mi" VN sandwiches are legit and decently priced ($6-7 not some asinine $10-15 like in the pseudo "Vietnamese" places), as are the various sticky rice dishes, some of which are wrapped in banana leaves. I was especially amazed that they even have "banh cuon" which I had never seen outside of Houston, the Bay Area, or SoCal before---google it if you've never heard of it, but it's quite delicious. Of course, most of the foods here are carby as hell, but that's pretty much the rule with East Asian food in general, so you probably want to get a couple of meat sticks to go with your meal unless you were planning to have a nice little siesta thereafter...or if you're vegetarian, plan to have some strong coffee afterwards. :) Note: this place is open only until 7pm every day except Wednesday, when they are closed. read more

This was my little home away from. Yummy Vietnamese food was far and spread out in the east coast so when I found this gem living in Cambridge - I had to make the trek every single few weeks. I was so happy when I moved to Jamaica plain because the distance was way closer ! The only con of this place is parking if you're coming by car. If you're looking crispy on the outside but soft in the inside tasty banh mi - this is the place. They also have a wide range of traditional Vietnamese family dishes for lunch and breakfast :) their house mayo butter also amazing - I always bought an extra jar home. also delicious pastries dessert and savory snacks ! Which I recommend all of it because I've tried most of it. One of my favorites is banh Tran tron - it's mixed rice paper with mango quail eggs basil beef jerky and a delicious tangy sauce read more

This new Ba Le is definitely either better or as good as the Dorchester standalone one. I've tried the Quincy Ba Le in the Kaman market and it was lackluster, almost not worth trying but this Malden one is almost as good as it gets. It's inside the 99 Asian supermarket, plenty of parking, there's even tables to sit at. The bread is the freshest I've had in so many years, the filling is adequate and flavorful. The best aioli and pate is perfect. I'm so excited to have something up here in Malden and hopeful quality holds up in the years to come! read more

I was so excited to finally give this place a try since I shop here often in the market. I waited in line patiently until it was my turn. The guy in front of me was finally up and ordered 3 sandwiches. All I wanted was the spring rolls which were already done out front. A guy went up to cut me and spoke in Vietnamese to tell her what he wanted while ringing the guy up that was a head of me. Instead of telling him to wait until I get served, she took his order over me. I hope it's not because he's also Vietnamese speaking in each other's language to hook him by cutting me which is how I felt. It's truly disrespectful to customers that aren't Vietnamese. It's disrespectful in general. I definitely won't be returning and letting people know expect to be treated secondary if not of same race. Not worth the trouble especially Malden and surrounding towns has plenty other places. read more

Spicy beef banh mi and Vietnamese iced coffee is my go to order. Coffee is strong and sweet

Incredible food and service - as always. A tip for anyone looking to get food here: sometimes where the line starts and separates between difference styles of orders is unclear (there aren't any guiding signs), often times the line starts right at the cash registers and bends around the serving area. read more

When you see a trash bag full of rolls, you know they're doing VOLUME. Cold cuts banh mi ($6.07+tax) was quite tasty! Fillings were great, but a bit lopsided, and could have used a bit more sauce or cilantro. Nice size and price though, definitely worth stopping by if you're at the supermarket! read more

Delicious and fast! Food court atmosphere, very friendly! I will definitely Be going again, the service was wonderful.

Best Bahn Mi in greater Boston bar none I'm glad this opened in Malden as I'm disinclined to go into Dorchester.

Be careful! They charged three times more on my coffee without noticing. I ordered a coffee with bubbles and no ice. It is $4 (coffee) on the menu but I was charged $12. The man didn't mention the charge at the payment and they didn't give receipt. I feel strange so I asked for receipt and found out it was three times higher. I complained that their employees didn't tell me the cost was three times when I ordered and they didn't list it on the menu. They said the employee is new and she didn't know that, and they expect everyone should know that no ice is higher cost. I was like WHAT?! I expected no ice may be a bit higher but not triple! Also, your employee didn't know that and you expected I should know the price? It is cheating! read more
