I was pretty hungry during a late afternoon so I stopped for a banh mi. I usually go for the cold cut one, but was told they don't have pate so I tried #1 Ham & Grilled Pork Sandwich ($9.5 + tax). The sandwich was big in size, but I'm not a fan of the pork cuz it tasted like sweet and sour. I want to come back for desserts next time, like the different flavors of rice krispie and mochi donuts. There is a parking lot in the same building (entrance on 43rd Ave. S.) as street parking is not easy to find around. read more

A neighborhood gem! I love their veggie and tofu pho and pork banh mi, and the mochi donuts are a favorite treat. Also large marshmallow squares in multiple flavors. All served by friendly staff in a very nice ambiance. It's a comfortable and delicious place for meeting friends. read more

I have been stopping by on my way home, right off the tracks at Othello Station. My end of the day is in the morning , like 8am. And every time I walk in to the cafe, they seem so happy to see me. Not overbearing, just cheerful. The first thing I tried was the doughnuts. They are a real treat. Many unique flavors and have a sticky note quite fully cooked texture I find I enjoy. Today I ordered Chicken Fried Rice. Not easy to pull off at 8am, but this is my dinner time. It is really good. They chicken looks fresh and is in large pieces over some really good rice. I paired it with a vanilla latte which was also nice. Not overly sweet like the chain coffee shops. This actually tastes like a coffee drink. Oh annnd they gave me a donut hole on the house while I waited! Well, so far so good. Wonder what I should try tomorrow. They have some Bao Buns that look good. Fingers crossed. read more

Good pork banh mi, meat was tender and flavorful with crunchy pickled radish and carrots, pate and butter mayo compliment the flavors well. The portion is decent size but kinda pricey compared to other banh mi in the area. Friendly staff and quick service read more

Imagine sipping on a condensed milk-bursting aroma Vietnamese coffee with milk foam on top. I am an occasional Nespresso original and Cafe Dumont drinker, but Viet Namese coffee is often intense. Here, you can get a fusion of American style. Breakfast starts at $5 for a flaky pastry, two options, ham or chicken, and $5 for Banh Bao, Humbao. What's different is that Viet Namese Banh Bao has Chinese sausage, ground pork, and quail eggs, which are flavorful, not dry! Imagine a bite in and the quail egg bursting out with sweet mother yolk coating your tongue. My oh my, never have I banh bao like this. read more

Seattle Times has picked up on the wonderful catfish po' boy/banh mi here, and Le's Bakery proudly displays the news article in their store. All the banh mi sandwiches are fresh and delicious here, and the po' boy is a standout. The pate chaud (pork meat pie) and egg rolls are also really good. I have less of a preference for sweets, but they have a rotating selection of both Vietnamese and American pastries and cakes, and everything looks well made. Restaurant is also clean and has AC. read more

Restaurant was very clean and service was impeccable. Very sweet server. Ordered the special/dat biet sandwiches. Very flavorful and good balance of pickled veggies and protein. Would highly recommend! read more

Terrible service. They tried to wait on five or six people at you've placed your order before they even start making your order terrible business they need to go to business school. They do not know how to. Very disrespectful, not washing their hands. I asked the young lady to wash her hands, and I think she got an attitude about it handling money and not washing her hands. These people are nasty and I wouldn't eat anything out of there. Do not go to this restaurant, bad attitude, and bad service read more

What an awesome place. Great food for a great price, excellent entrees, pho, banh mi and more. Wonderful desserts with an amazing selection. A quiet cozy setting and the most amazing part is the great service and warmth by Tom and Mary the owner operators. Been 3 times and will visit many more read more

I live down the street from here and am so excited to have found such a great little Vietnamese bakery/ restaurant near me. They have Vietnamese iced coffee which is super good!! And I tried the ham and pork bahn mi which did not disappoint. My friend had a pork plate with rice which he seems to enjoy. They have a variety of pastries and they also have pho. All of it looks really good. Will definitely be coming back here for my iced coffee fix. read more

The chicken sandwich is the best deal in town. All the food is fantastic. My only complaint isn't with the business but it's with the parking situation nearby. The building there in switched to a paid lot for even just running in and picking up food or meeting someone for coffee for like an hour. read more

I never get pho here because it didn't impress me when we did... very little meat, no basil/hoisin/chili oil to add when they brought it out. But I did get some spring rolls and a pork meat pie today just because we came in to use the ATM and I didn't want to do so without buying something. The meat pie was good, but not a lot of food for $5. The spring rolls (one large one cut in half) had only 2 shrimps on each half and were super spaced out, leaving me wondering why they were $7... this just solidified why I never come here, despite living upstairs. read more

I have went there twice as it is close by, i ordered a creama matcha, absolutely not never again. my entire sip was matcha powder. I guess it tasted fine but it wasn't worth $7. The service was sweet and kind. I loved how the store was really aesthetic and sold so many grocery items I haven't seen before like Ube Rice Krispy Treats! read more

It was sooo Delicious. I got the Thai tea and mochi donuts. A hidden gem with great service.

They have mochi donuts!!!! And it's so goood! Forgot to take a photo because we gifted the donuts. It's a grand opening for them so it was buy 6 and get 2 free. But honestly one of the best mochi donuts! It was so fresh and chewy and the flavors were very present. Then we got some tofu spring rolls and they were rolled fresh and it tasted wonderful. I like the ambience of the cafe and will definitely be back! Staff very friendly too!! read more

I've never sat down in the restaurant for a meal but I'll stop by to enjoy their delectable pastries on my way to church! Some sweet, some savory, but NEVER disappointed!! The service is always excellent. The servers always give a smile. It IS a great space and great location, so I'll definitely have to have their Vietnamese cuisine because I LOVE Vietnamese food! read more

4.5 Star Picked up take out from here during COVID. Ordered the Shrimp Spring Rolls ($4.95), Tofu Banh Mih ($6.95), Chicken Banh Mih ($6.95), Chicken Pate Chau, and a box or assorted pastries (usually $2.50 each but we got a box of 4 day olds for $5). The Sandwiches are a really good size and whatever they use for their marinade is delicious! UPDATE: I tried the chicken-less sandwich ($7.95) today and it was AMAZING!!! It's so rare to find spots like these with such great meatless options. A tad pricey compared to other Vietnamese spots but very much worth it given it's Sleek, Clean, Modern Interior. Food was made quickly. The owners are extremely friendly :) read more

Came here to try their pho as a cure to my headache, and I have to say it's pretty solid! There are probably other restaurants in the area that specialize more in their pho but one thing I like about Le's is the nice peaceful vibe they have. The restaurant space is pretty big so if you're looking for dine-in you can easily find yourself a quiet secluded corner to enjoy your meal. It gave me quiet cafe/coffee shop vibes. I had a pretty nasty headache so I knew I wouldn't be able to stand the loudness at some of the other pho restaurants in the area. The pho broth here was solid. Anytime I don't need to add hoisin sauce means the broth had enough flavor, which it did. It was $13.50 for a decent sized bowl which isn't exactly cheap but definitely filling. It's also a deli/bakery first so you'll pick up your food when it's ready rather than having a dedicated server. Overall, great spot for Vietnamese food in the South Seattle area with awesome vibes. read more

Le's Deli & Bakery - Featured in the Seattle Times! They have this posted on their wall. - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A ton of people told us to try this location. Here is what I will say. As a bakery they are delicious. The baked goods were really good. The bread on the bhan mi was soft and crunchy and fresh and the pastry was good. The hum bao was terrible. It had the consistency of rubber. It was the thickest and most rubbery hum bao I've ever had. The filling was good but the outside no way. The bhan mi inside wasn't good but like I said the bread is good. I would go back for a pastry but that's about it. read more

We come here all the time for banh mi! I've had their pho too and it was great, but typically we stop in and get banh mi and thai tea to go. My usual is the pork banh mi and my partner's is the tofu banh mi. Solid drinks too, but we almost always get thai tea! Love the people who run this place too, they're always super friendly. Last time we were in I had a moment of spacing out and dropped my thai tea immediately as we exited. The lady at the counter had a quick laugh when we told her what happened, and then offered a discount on a replacement. Super sweet and funny folks. They often have pastries and Top Pot doughnuts in the display window, and it is SO tempting to add something on. I usually resist the urge, but every now and then I grab a donut too and it makes my day. They also have snacks on the shelves, including rice treats they make in house! I don't end up dining in that often because I'm usually on the go, but the space is super cute and cozy. Love the lights on the windows and it feels like a nice chill place to work if you're looking for that café work setting. There's a few tables outside too which have been nice to sit at while we're out with our dog. Overall, awesome restaurant, great banh mi and drinks and pastries, really chill folks, and we'll be back often for lunch pickups! read more

Their meat pies are to die for!!! Lots of delicious pastries and they have mochi donuts now too. The sandwiches are amazing as well.

The food and drinks weren't good especially as it's higher price than other Asian deli / bakeries. Not worth it. Won't recommend. read more

This place is awesome! The food is delicious, the people are wonderful and friendly, and the vibe is perfect. It's a great spot for any meal. Taro pie and a coffee in the morning, bahn mi and bubble tea for lunch, Pho and Coke for dinner. They make rice crispy treats that are to die for. They make ones with fruity pebbles or coco pebbles too! I highly recommend Le's Deli & Bakery any time of day, any day of the week. read more

Ordered delivery through Grubhub last week. They included the napkins and cutlery we requested, which is surprisingly sometimes missed, so I appreciated the level of care. Nothing was leaking or open, either, which is really nice. They use compostable containers other than the pho containers, which are recyclable and nice to reuse as tupperware. Ordered 2 patisos, chicken pho and despite ordering this without cilantro they had a TON of it diced very small so it was almost impossible to remove, house special noodle, and a chicken rice plate. The kids really enjoyed the patiso they shared. It was delciously flaky with slightly sweet ground pork. I devoured mine so quickly. I'd order this again for sure. The chicken rice platter came with picked shredded carrots and daikon and fresh tomatoes and cucumbers. The kids liked the veggies and ate their rice and chicken with zero complaints. There was enough leftover for lunch the next day. The chef special was devoured pretty quickly, too. It was great that both those dishes had two sauce options each. My pho was ok. I'd not order this again, but the portion size was huge if cilantro is your thing. (I know it's traditional but I'm one of the genetically predisposed to taste soap). I wish I'd taken a pic of the food because despite being delivery they actually did look pretty good when we opened the containers! read more

Sigh. It's been a while since I've had to write anything below a three star... But sometime's it's gotta be done! First off, I'm kicking myself for not taking to Yelp to find a pho place before heading here. It was literally right across the street from where my boyfriend was working, so we were like whaaat the heck let's do it. Little did we know there was another pho place kiddie corner to here with nearly five stars and probably way better food. :( For those who follow my reviews, you know pho is my life. I think this may be the worst pho I've had - I don't like saying that, but it's true. The brisket in the pho was cut INCREDIBLY thick and some pieces were knotty. The broth was literally flavorless and tasted like I was served instant pho. We added some sriracha and plum sauce to at least give us something to taste, and that's what we got... Sririacha Plum Sauce broth. NO pho flavor whatsoever. It was wildly disappointing and I'm sitting here still craving pho. To add insult to injury, this place is ridiculously expensive. After tip, we paid $36 for two bowls of pho, an iced matcha latte, and two measly egg rolls. Granted, the flavor of the egg rolls was super yummy - but they looked like they were made FOR ANTS. (WHAT IS THIS, A CENTER FOR ANTS?) The matcha latte was... Not good. The service was very spotty too. I think it was due to the language barrier, because they were super nice, but it was tough to order and tough to ask them any questions... I definitely would recommend going to one of the many other pho restaurants nearby. Please learn from my mistake. read more

For what it is, it's a great place. The sandwiches are fantastic and less than $8 is hard to beat. The spring rolls are light on some filling (for a shrimp roll I saw it but couldn't taste any) but for $4 I would have them again. I wish I count have tried a bowl of Pho or Bo but wasn't hungry enough. The shop has some great pastries for you to try with a nice coffee or tea. They even have some deli snacks to take with you. They have a table for outside seat. I would go back regularly if I lived in the area. read more

You must try their Catfish Po'boy. It may be perfect. Prompt takeout service, reasonable prices, yummy food.

Came here for lunch one day. Surprisingly their food is pretty amazing. They have French, American, and Asian bakery as well as traditional Vietnamese cuisine as well. Many options to pick and choose from their menu. It took me away to decide what I wanted to eat. At the end, I got their special rice dish. Chicken, shrimp, egg roll, veggies, and rice. It was really tasty. My friend got their crispy chicken with rice and it was good as well. They serve pretty large portion so there is enough to share. I do have to say that the day I visited them. The white rice wasn't really good, it was a little to dry or mushy. I don't know how to describe it but it wasn't fluffy. Overall, great place to go for lunch and etc. read more

Best banh mi in Seattle! The owner, Cindy Le, and her husband are so sweet and always take the time to make friendly conversation. Try the garlic chicken and rice dish. It's cooked with fish sauce and tastes incredible! read more

Found on corner of city street in Seattle. Located in new building. Free 2 hour parking, but spaces are small. We have a midsize suv and spaces were tight! I ordered the taro cake and cappuccino, my husband ordered a apple fritter and mocha. Prices were high for what we got. The pastries were light, buttery and flavorful. Coffee was watery and the default size is grande. We had out dog with us and so we sat outside. They had about 4 small tables under some covering. It protects us from the rain. The lady at counter was friendly. 4 star, but expensive for items that we ordered read more

Located underneath the Othello apartments, it is still pretty brand new as I heard that it opened maybe less than 3 months ago. The staff are pretty nice although one seemed like she did not know what she was doing when it came to making drinks. Parking is street parking, but if you live in the Othello apartments then it's clearly garage parking. Coffee here was okay, but it is definitely not as good compared to coffee shops since it seems like they do not have the right machinery to make really good coffee. The vanilla latte I ordered tasted okay to me, but there was a slight bitter taste to it which is unfortunate. I also ordered the passion fruit green tea with lychee jelly. Disappointed because the drink was way to sweet and they use a syrup which could have been the reason why it had a very sweet taste to it. Too sweet for me and couldn't bear to make myself drink more of it. read more

Le's Deli & Bakery - Fresh Shrimp Rolls with Peanut Sauce - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

If you're looking for Vietnamese food made by Vietnamese people but want a place with tables indoors and outdoors, wifi, and a lot of American cafe effects, this is the spot for you. Conveniently located right next to the Othello train station, I love coming here after picking up a prescription at the nearby pharmacy or after an appointment at Greenleaf Dental. There are many Vietnamese bakeries along MLK here, but Le's is probably the easiest for someone who doesn't speak Vietnamese to navigate. The prices are higher, but honestly you shouldn't always demand to underpay immigrants for food that takes more skill to prepare than a subway sandwich. They also now carry Top Pot doughnuts! I do wish they opened earlier than 8:30am, but that's just because I'm an early bird and would like to be able to pick up food here before work. read more

The best rating I could give a restaurant is to say I will return for another meal. I definitely will go back to Le's deli and bakery! My friend and I shared two sandwiches. One catfish and one shrimp poboy. Having grown up in New Orleans I have had some experience with both. I know that there's a French connection with both Vietnam and New Orleans and I know many Vietnamese refugees settled near New Orleans, so not surprising both make similar great sandwiches. My only complaint is truly nitpicking. Gulf shrimp have a lot more flavor than what we usually get here. And catfish is not a strong taste. So, compared with New Orleans po'boys, there wasn't quite enough contrast between the shrimp and the catfish with the rest of the sandwich, in an ideal sense. We kind of overcame this by adding some sriracha sauce. This said don't hesitate to go to Le's and try any of their sandwiches. Actually their whole selection of bakery items, both sweet and savory, looked delicious. The environment is high class and the gentleman behind the counter is a good ambassador for the place. Finally their French bread isn't from the famous New Orleans Leidenheimer bakery, but close enough! read more
