Ba-Le Deli & Bakery (Kingsway)

Pretty decent little place. They have some random food in the front, I definitely enjoy Banh Da Lon. Their Bahn Mi sandwiches are very delicious. The bread is very crummy, but in a good way. Also recommend their ice coffee and Thai milk tea. There is no seating or anything available, and parking can be a little hard. Definitely recommend eating here, and we will be back.

This is a banh mi chain in Vancouver that I’ve always had a soft spot for. Fun fact, their Chinatown location was the first place I had ever had a banh mi at and loved ever since. This is another key location, on Kingsway, and they offer the same selection across most of their locations. They also have a little store inside for you to get snacks and Vietnamese ingredients. The sandwiches are quite sizeable, and if you buy 10 in one go, they’ll give you one free. Good for parties and hosting.

Might be the best viet sub spot in town. Tried the veggie chicken sub and it was only ok--lemongrass flavor was prominent and nice but it is drowned in a sweet and sour sauce...the protein used (seitan maybe?) would be excellent if it were prepared with a traditional lemongrass marinade instead. Stick with the house special.

Tastes excellent, soft bread with crunchy skin at reasonable price. They are also selling snacks, saucing and drinks but only take away.

Excellent! Always loved Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches from Ba-Le Deli & Bakery!!! The quality and authenticity of the bahn mi served at this unassuming Ba-Le on Kingsway is hard to match. I’ve been coming here for years and highly recommended this place. Staff are super friendly too. 🥪🇻🇳🥪

I'm an out of towner and decided to swing by after picking up some jerky across the street. Reasonably priced at under $10 for an assorted sandwich. I was super surprised to bite into this even after a night in the fridge. The baguette was incredibly soft on the inside and crispy on the outside! I would say it's the best baguette I've had for a banh mi. I'd recommend to stop by if you're in the area and I prefer this place over Saigon. Would come back!

We ordered: grilled pork marinated in lemon grass, sweet sauce, and veggies (cilantro, jalapeño, pickled carrots/radish, & cucumber); shredded chicken, homemade mayo and veggies; and, Vietnamese sausage, homemade mayo and veggies Absolutely delicious!! Lots of flavor and veggies! And Vietnamese cold coffee (Cafe Sua Da) was good too! We will be back!

I visited a popular, no-frills Vietnamese restaurant known for its Bánh Mì sandwiches. They use locally sourced meats and freshly baked French baguettes daily. I tried the #11 sandwich, a special meatball sub with cold cuts, pate, mayo, pickled carrot and daikon, cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeños. It was delicious! The sandwiches are simple yet flavorful, with fast service and reasonable prices. Note: They accept only cash or debit; credit cards are not accepted.
