| - Just when I thought that I could one-up my family and tell them about a new Vietnamese sandwich shop that opened.. It turns out that they already knew about Ba Le AND have tried practically everything on the menu. So it was my turn.
For sandwiches, I like the #1 (Dac Biet), just squirt some sriracha in there to make it the perfect sandwich. I love that when you order sandwiches to take home they will ask if you want them to toast the bread there or not, so that you can toast it when you get home. I love the bread with a crunch! I usually don't add on all of the extra veggies in my sandwich, but rest assured, my family claims that it is fresh and delicious.
Now, my absolute favorite item on the menu is actually the congee!!! It's called Chao Long and you get a giant bowl for only $4! That is an absolutely steal! We will actually drive all the way to Spring Mountain just to eat this (and to-go an order home as well). I love the meat ratio too. This will definitely fill you up.
Their interior definitely needs a little.. Improvement. However, I still like coming in to eat because they offer complimentary tea while you dine and I love to have my Che Ba Mau (translation: three color dessert) fresh! It is a Vietnamese dessert that has sweetened red beans, yellow mung bean, and green pandan jelly, served with crushed ice and coconut sauce. If you haven't tried this yet, you're missing out! It's a matter of opinion, but I'm pretty sure that they have one of the best Che Ba Mau's in town.
I look forward to trying more things on their menu, like the Bun Bo Hue.
