Like my favorite banh mi shop on the west coast, Ba Le’s pretty much an in-and-out operation. You get in line, order the sandwiches you want (there are 13 delicious options on the placard), wait for your order, take your tasty meal out, and dine in the comfort of your home while trying not to get jalapeno in your eye. Even better, if you order with a friend (or have a particularly insatiable appetite for banh mi), you can take advantage of the “buy 5, get 1 free” deal. Brandon and I typically order six at a time, devour two each, and then put the rest in the fridge for a snack later. My personal favorites are the Chinese pork and anything with pate. I give Ba Le 5 stars for being super cheap and delicious and having plenty of options on the menu.
