Le's Baguette Banh Mi Cafe

Food was delicious. Full of flavor but not heavy. Will definitely come back to try more options.

Got pho, banh mi, and veggie spring rolls. The pho and banh mi delivered. Only complaint with banh mi is that it wasn't served on a baguette, rather it was on a hoagie bun. The spring rolls were not our favorite. I felt like there wasn't much taste. And I had heartburn for a while and a fishy taste that lasted for a long time.

Family-owned neighborhood gem. Come for the pho, leave with a banh mi! To go bowls are perfect since they come in a bowl where you just pour the stock over the dish. Yum!

I work for a local university and needed to order food for a group of about 20 students and two faculty/staff members. I called ahead of time about placing a large order for pickup and I was told that placing an order in person would be cheaper than doing so online, because Uber Eats raises the prices. I appreciated that tip and I asked if they took Apple Pay, and the person I spoke to on the phone said yes. When I arrived at the restaurant, I put in my large group order, tried to pay with Apple Pay and it didn't work. It didn't work when I tried to use my work card, nor did it work when I tried to switch to a personal card. They asked if I had a physical card that I could use and I said not at the moment, which is why I called ahead and asked about Apple Pay. I left the establishment, signed out of my Apple account and signed back into it. I then checked to make sure it was working at another local business and, indeed, it was. I returned to the restaurant to try paying for my order again and the credit card machine was still strangely not accepting my Apple Pay. At this point, the person at the register who was ringing me up did not offer to reset the credit card machine, even though I mentioned I had just used my Apple Pay another establishment and it worked. I returned the next day, after testing my Apple Pay at a gas station just before going in and I went to place my order again and the Apple Pay was mysteriously still not working. I let the same cashier know again that I had just used it at another location and there must be something wrong with their system, to which the cashier just ignored what I was saying and asked if I had a physical card, which I did this time. They take the card and look at it very closely and then run the payment. That credit card worked and I was able to place the order. I really don't want to make any assumptions, but this cashier at no point tried to reset the system when my Apple Pay didn't work and also wouldn't key in the credit card information the night before. He said they don't do that. Fair enough. However, I find it suspicious that my payment method suddenly worked when I arrived with the physical University stamped credit card from where I said I worked. I think this cashier thought I was trying to scam their business and was rejecting my payment on purpose. And I don't want to assume that it was racially motivated, but I am Black and the thought certainly crossed my mind. At the very least, this person's actions were bad business practice. If a customer tells you that their form of payment works and you reject it on two separate days without trying to do any troubleshooting on your end, that's bad business. And, if they had a policy that mandated a physical card be used for purchases above a certain amount, I would have been happy to honor that. However, no such policy exists and I cannot help but believe that he assumed I was trying to scam him with my Apple Pay. If it was racially motivated or not, I had to come back in the middle of the day on a different day just to pay, which was extremely inconvenient. Not satisfied with my service at all.

Great food and fantastic, friendly service. The spring rolls were a nice starter, the Bahn Mi sandwich bread was perfect, the Bun vermicelli bowl had a generous amount of pork on it, and the Vietnamese iced coffees were delicious. Highly recommended and thank you!

Nice and clean restaurant in a quiet neighborhood, but seems like they set up for takeout/delivery - no printed menus on the table or no qr scans, order and pay before sitting down, plastic plates and to-go utensils! Pho broth is ok but not exceptional. Briskets are overdone, and rare steaks are all clumped up together. Rice dishes and banh mi are decent, but again nothing out of the ordinary. Don't need to come back!

Super solid place in New Orleans for Vietnamese food - super cheaply priced and the waiter was super funny - he came over and said hi to our group a few times. Good: I got the vermicelli dish and I really liked the lemongrass chicken - it was quite tasty and was a big portion size. I also tried the pho and it was similarly tasty - I wanted to drink all of the soup in the dish which is a rare thing that happens with a pho place. The bao also tasted really good - we got a bbq bun. It was small, but tasty and savory. The best part is that the food arrives super quickly here! Almost no wait time. Bad: It's super casual, not so much seating inside so we had to split our group of ten. Overall a really good experience and really would come back again!

A tasty little spot tucked away uptown. Give them your money. The pho is bangin, and the prices are reasonable. Definitely get a large, you'll want it. Also, never seen a kid in there, so extra points.

This restaurant is smack-dab in the middle of a neighborhood in a converted house with only window signage and if you aren't looking for it or not expecting it to be there, you'll miss it. And that would be unfortunate because the food is really good. I ordered the Grilled Lemongrass Pork with an egg roll. It was fresh in every way. The interior is inviting and has a coffee shop feel. This is a good find.

Cute shop, great service, delicious food. Next time I'll try the Banh mi but I love vermicelli (glass noddles). It was delicious, I ate every bite and drank every drop.

The guy taking our order was not welcoming at all, kind of ruined my experience. The food was good, nothing crazy. All in all, I'd give this place a 2/5.

Very authentic. I drive over an hour just to get this pho! Nice brothers and father. Fast

This is such a lovely neighborhood location. Quiet yet large enough for small groups to gather. I bought the lemongrass beef banh mi. Unfortunately the meat was not very flavorful. Quite bland if I'm being honest. Which is unfortunate because lemongrass beef is not that common in this city. However, their avocado smoothie is very good. I'll probably be back for that

Good food and good prices. Banh mi was fantastic. Pho was also tasty, but banh mi was the star.

At a place called Le's Baguette Banj Mi I of course had to get a banh mi. I chose the lemongrass pork banh mi and it was delicious. It had a yummy sauce on it which was good because one of my main complaints of other banh minis that they are too dry. I wanted to order a Thai tea boba but they were unfortunately out of both Thai tea and boba so that didn't work out. It feels like a nice neighborhood establishment! The setup inside feels a bit crowded with tables but since it wasn't full I felt like I had plenty of space. You order at the bar at the back and then your food is brought out to you. The food came quickly and the man taking our order was very friendly.

I've only had phở a handful of times in my life, yet I can say with absolute certainty this establishment has made an incredibly tasty dish. My soul felt at ease with each bite and sip (of that heavenly broth), yet I hurriedly tried to finish as if someone was going to take it away from me! Not to mention the warm service and atmosphere which perfectly garnished the dish-along with the bean sprouts. Well done to this business; the only unfortunate thing about this place is not having one close to home!

I usually am happy with everything from here. I decided to try the bao buns this time and 2 come with order for $14. When I got them I was shocked at how little food it is. I felt ripped off honestly.

I ordered the Vietnamese coffee and the pork belly banh mi. Very tasty!!! Idk what sauce they put on the banh mi, but i could literally drench everything in it lol. I would definitely go back again. I saw a lady beside me order the sweet ginger chicken dish and I will try that next. It looked so good. Also, added bonus they have a friendly staff.

Le's has really good pho good service I haven't tried their other dishes yet but they look really good. The owner is very nice and generous. I picked him up one time Ubering and he tipped me $10 nice guy.

Pandemic update: I was walking in my neighborhood recently and I was hungry so I decided to stop in for a banh mi. Excellent decision on my part. Masks are required, of course. (Thank goodness for our state mandate). And the staff was masked obviously. While the same number of tables were in the space, many were marked do not use to allow for social distancing. I was getting take out so no big. My tofu banh mi was delicious and hit the spot. And was very inexpensive. Yummy all the way around.

Food was excellent. I really enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere--felt like you were eating at home. Would highly recommend!

Cold New Orleans nights are a perfect excuse to grab a hot bowl of delicious Pho from Le's Baguette Bahn Mi Cafe and we used this recent weather as another reason to eat one! Normally I grab chicken or beef but switched up my order and grabbed the Shrimp version and loved it! Letting the shrimp soak in the hot pho broth softened them up (I was worried dropped cooked shrimp into the hot broth wold make the hard and rubbery). Hubby switched it up and got the meatball pho this time...he didn't really like the meatballs but loved the broth and noodles so he'd suggest sticking to beef, chicken or shrimp. (His personal preference Also be sure to grab the shrimp and pork spring rolls to start and dip them in the amazingly yummy peanut dipping sauce. I only ordered one order and regretted that I had to share LOL. If you have kiddos, the ginger chicken rice plate is an excellent choice. Just hope that the kids leave behind some for you to eat so you can gobble up some of the deliciousness. Our kids also always love the Shrimp Vermicelli bowl because what kid doesn't enjoy shrimp and noodles? One tiny downside for this visit was that they were out of the veggie egg rolls and veggie pho but we'll definitely be going back and will try for them again!

Being able to grab pho at the 8 o'clock hour with a late night craving is everything for me. I'm not sure why I haven't had Le's before but I'll def be back! My to-go order was ready in about fifteen minutes and there was plenty of ample parking. Ordered a large rare steak pho with extra protein and the broth was delicious. As with any pho takeout order you should always reheat the broth! The broth was the star of the show and they followed all instructions which was greatly appreciated. I'm not a big fan of onions and they made sure not to include them. They make their baguettes in-house and I made sure to order one on the side to dip into the broth. So light and fluffy. I'll be back when I need a warm hug in the form of food.

I go to Le's all the time, its so good! I think I've tried almost everything on the menu now and it's all amazing! Vermicelli bowls, spring rolls, and of course the bahn mi! The bread is soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and perfectly buttery - delicious! The owner is also so sweet and welcoming, he makes guests feel really at home. Its such a joy to dine at Le's!

This is a great little restaurant set in an Uptown cottage. To me, the best dishes are the pork banh mi and the pork chops with jasmine rice. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is family-owned.

Pho tai nam was good but the amount of beef included was very minimal. Ordered a large and literally only got four small pieces of beef.

Best pho and Boba in New Orleans! Great service. Small and cozy atmosphere. Love this place!

Tried to order the pork rice bowl but luckily it was out so pivoted to the ginger chicken. I don't order chicken much at restaurants but glad I did because the charred, deboned strips of chicken thigh were incredible! Great pickled veggies on the side. Pork in the vermicelli was a bit less special. Fantastic egg rolls, crispy but not too oily.

Good food and reasonable prices. Le's is a nice neighborhood spot that I eat at regularly. I can't speak to its authenticity.

Le's Baguette, you banh saved mi! We came to this place seeking refuge from the rain and a broken air conditioner and fridge - a true temple of solace in our time of need. My partner and I both got the bbq pork banh mi. The pork was fatty and rich, the veggies were lightly pickled and had a good crunch to them, and the bread was perfectly chewy and soft. Now let's talk about THE SAUCE - what in the magical sorcery is this?!?! I have no idea what sauce they put on their banh mis, but WOW. In a city filled with wonderful Vietnamese food and, in particular, delicious banh mis, I have never in my life had sauce like the sauce that was on this banh mi here. It was that rich, coat your tongue in a flavor bath kinda sauce. Added bonus: the Vietnamese iced coffee was killer. Come here to have a banh mi with a special sauce you will not soon baguette!

Got take out - pho and bun with a side of egg rolls. Everything was great! Definitely a casual environment, but very solid food. Will be back!

Oomph! I found a spot on a best Vietnamese food in New Orleans list and realized it was pretty close to home. So glad I decided to give it a try! I have been ordering from them at LEAST once a week for a couple of months now. The vermicelli bowls and banh mi are so fresh and delicious! I only ordered pho one time. It was okay. However, I wasn't feeling great so I think my tastebuds were off. I ended up just eating a few bites of noods and drinking the broth. I would definitely try it again when I'm up to par!

It's actually a really cute please inside. Makes you feel like you're really in a little piece of Europe. Nice ambience in the daytime. All I had was the Vietnamese iced coffee which was really good. But everything else looked delicious. Will come back to try.

Best Bao Bun I have ever had. They are very friendly and even remember our names when we eat there!

Honestly, I expected the food to taste a lot better based on prior reviews. Don't get me wrong, the food was fine but it definitely wasn't better than any other restaurant with similar cuisine. The prices were also little more than I was expecting. I ordered pho and beef bao buns and they were ok but I wasn't impressed enough to return. I also found it strange that the outside temp at the time was in the 50s and every single fan was on in the building. Good thing I had my pho to keep me warm. It was the closest place to me at the time but I think I'll stick to my Westbank pho favorites.

Order Rare Stake Pho . It's my first time tying this place out. I'm from Houston visiting Louisiana haven't found another place that taste really good as this one. I recommend this place 10/10

Very nice spot, food is great and affordable ! I love the pork belly Banh Mi, and I had a pho as well, good !

So... the flavors were definitely all there. Very tasty little sandwich on nice crisp bread. Veggies and herbs seemed fresh and the aioli was good too. The only problem (for me anyway) was the size vs the price. $8 (before tax) is not exorbitant, true, but I thought it was too high for something that ultimately didn't fill me up. I'd even had a slice of cake pre-sandwich and was still able to finish it off with room to spare. My friend got a vermicelli bowl which she enjoyed, but again it looked a bit skimpy in comparison to the usual, and was $2 more than the banh mi. In summary, it's a cool spot, and worth a try, but I wouldn't visit on an empty stomach.

Small family owned pho restaurant. Great milk tea, they have good broth and their bahn mi is traditional which is great! The bbq pork bao buns are perfect. The service is usually quick as well.

This is probably one of my favorite places in the city to get a banh mi. Not only are the ingredients fresh and flavorful, but the sauce they put on the banh mi is amazing. I would highly recommend the pork banh mi, however, you can't go wrong with the beef either. They also have great pho! If you're in the mood for both pho and a banh mi, this is your answer. All of their food comes out very quickly, but don't let that fool you, its all 100% top notch. Wifi is fast and reliable, so its a great place to study or get some work done. Also try their espresso, they know what they are doing, and pull shots comparable or better to any coffee shop in town. Since COVID-19, they don't let anyone into the cafe, so you just walk up to the door and do the whole transaction there. Great way to social distance and grab some awesome food!

Le's Baguette Bahn Mi is excellent. Located down the street from one of my all time favorite restaurants, I only discovered Le's because of Yelp. Shout out to Jen L. for cluing me into this spot because I loved it. My visit to Le's was to place, and pickup, a to-go order. I arrived around 11 and the place was empty. That was a huge plus for me because it meant I was in and out in just a few minutes. The space itself is rather narrow with a small dining room on the right side as you enter. Despite that layout, the tables seemed well spaced from one another. I am rarely in this area of the city for long, but I could totally see eating in without feeling cramped. Service was fast and friendly. The food ranged from really great to holly mackerel what is this amazing bite of food.Here is what I tried: Shrimp Bahn Mi - Shrimp remoulade and slaw on a bahn mi baguette is a genius discovery. I know lots of people make shrimp remeoulade po-boys, but the baguette here (I am assuming from Dong Phuong) kicks the mundane remoulade po-boy into high gear. That extra bit of crunch with the creamy remoulade is delicious. Lemongrass Pork Bahn Mi- Wow. I've had a lot of grilled pork when eating Vietnamese food. The pork here may be the best I've had. The smokey pork paired so perfectly with the veggies and jalapenos that I wanted another one. If left to choose between the two bahn mi, the pork wins every freakin time. Pork Belly Bao - Ok. If you only read one thing in my review, read this. My first bite of this bao was pure heaven. After eating it I said (out loud to no one in particular); " that is the best single bite of 2017". It was that good. As I continued eating it I did encounter some chewy pieces of belly that weren't great, but overall, this was a great dish. Get two with a pork bahn mi. Parking is street only and I had to make the block a few times to find a spot. Since I usually grab and go this is an issue, but if you're dining in just park somewhere and walk. Prices for the bahn mi were more than Dong Phuong, but I think the $8 is still fair. If you lie Vietnamese sandwiches, you owe it to yourself to check out Le's.

Michael & Michelle Le are the owners of this new business on Dryades. They personally greeted me when I walked in. Such a warm and inviting Café. The menu is pretty extensive and the seating is ample, with the ability to accommodate small, medium, and large groups. The location is great and there's lots of free on-street parking in the local neighborhood. I had the Vietnamese Coffee ($4.50) and the Shrimp bahn mi (Vietnamese Po Boy; $9). The Coffee was rich and quite strong. Part of the lure for this beverage is the brewing process, which completes at your table. It's basically an espresso with condensed milk over ice. A nice summer drink, which was perfect to support my study group plans after lunch. The shrimp bahn mi was totally unexpected for me - it was not at all like the typical New Orleans fried shrimp Po Boy. Instead, it was a healthier, lighter version, with sautéed shrimp, fresh coleslaw, jalapeños, and a house-made remoulade. Quite delicious and not too heavy. Both Michelle and Michael stopped by to check on me and whether my meal was to my liking. Great service! I'll be back for sure!

The food here is fantastic every time. We get the sandwiches, the bao, the pho, the bubble tea - it's all good. And on top of that the service is great. It's the best banh me in New Orleans.

Le's Baguette Banh Mi Cafe is one of the best restaurants in the uptown area. It consistently has excellent Bahn Mis at a completely reasonable price. The staff is friendly and always very welcoming. I love the chill vibes in the restaurant and the mom-and-pop feel. I couldn't recommend Le's enough. Please do yourself a favor and give it a visit

Hot Banh mi's delivered! I ordered the five spice pork belly and the lemon grass pork. Both full of flavor and fresh ingredients. The lemon grass pork was dryer than the pork belly. Both meats cooked to a soft perfection. The Thai tea was delicious just wish it would've been filled to the top and not 80% ice. It was delicious and wanted more!!!

Located a few blocks off St Charles and Napoleon in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of parking we dropped by this new spot on a late Sunday afternoon. Considering we did not have to wait we did not mind seating ourselves and ordering our food at the bar. Our food was delivered before we knew it to the table. We tried the Gilled Lemongrass Beef vermicelli noodle bowl and the Turkey California Panini. The Grilled Lemongrass vermicelli noodle bowl was served hot with noodles along with fixings of lettuce and other veggies with beef just off the grill with crushed peanuts. The Turkey California Panini came with a side salad and was served hot on grilled bread and was a perfect and tasty combination of turkey, avocado, Swiss cheese and garlic... Super Yummy! And highly recommended! I recommend this restaurant for stress free casual dining and will visit it again for breakfast or pho. **Update: Visited on a one of those rare cold New Orleans days and we tried the Pho and loved it!

Stopped by here the other day in the mood for a banh mi... ended up ordering two and a boba, left so pleased. The BBQ pork belly banh mi and the lemongrass chicken were both delicious. Very flavorful with great sauces. The boba I tried was a matcha slush and was my favorite boba that I've gotten in New Orleans so far, not too sweet. Le's also has WiFi and there's plenty of seating for the amount of customers coming through, so it's a very comfortable to stop by for a snack/meal

This is one of my favorite places to get pho. The dining area is cozy and the food is prepared right in front of you in an open kitchen. The to-go pho is served in a bowl and includes utensils and toppings and is delicioussss.

Great neighborhood spot. They have a great rice pork plate. And boba drinks too! Easy dinner pick up on the way home.

I'd been excited to come here and try it for a year now and finally made it out one weekend at lunch. I assume that someone didn't show up for work or something because it took a few minutes to even be acknowledged before I ordered at the counter and then it took over half an hour just to throw together a vermicelli bowl. The bowl itself was really underwhelming, there wasn't any flavor to the pork and the toppings were really lacking for the price. With all the vietnamese places in town I will try another next time.

This place is amazing!!! I ordered the vermicelli noodle bowl with grilled beef. I added an order of egg rolls with it. The beef was well marinated, veggies were super fresh and the egg rolls were crispy and delicious. I love their fish sauce too. It was so good, I request extra on the side. I would definitely recommend this place for authentic Vietnamese food.

Excellent bread, ingredients, flavors. Fantastic for any hungry person! Give this place a try, you will be happy you did.

Delicious, afforadle Vietnamese in the Carrolton area! A plus is they are open on Mondays.

TUCKED AWAY NEAR CHARLIE'S The majority of new restaurants I've tried the first half of 2018 fall into two categories: 1. Uninspired Sysco-to-table cookie cutter loft build-outs, or 2. Homey reinventions of the old corner bistro like Le's. FAIR FARE The grilled chicken in my lemon grass bun bowl was over cooked and the noodle-to-fill ratio was an unacceptable 3:1. But the 3 Meat panini (see pic) was overstuffed and dressed with a legit house aioli. Prices were affordable at about $10 per/entrée.

My fav place in New Orleans to get a banh mi! I always get the lemongrass chicken banh mi and it's unforgettable. They have bubble tea as well, they are honestly not my favorite here but what's a banh mi without a bubble tea?! They are always are very welcoming and check up a bunch. I always sit in the outdoor seating and it's always very peaceful.

I've been here a few times and have generally loved my experiences. The Banh Mi are great and they have veggie Vietnamese egg rolls!!! Which is amazing because my boyfriend doesn't eat pork so we never get to order them together. Taste just like the pork version. The bubble tea is also great here. I think I'd come here if I was craving sandwiches or wanted coffee or bubble tea. Their pho is okay, but not as great as all the other Vietnamese restaurants - it's much more light than others. The family who runs it is super nice and offer great service. The older gentleman who served us was particularly kind.

I REALLY wanted to love this place and am giving everyone a lot of Covid slack, but I was so disappointed with the pho here. I ordered 2 chicken pho through Ubereats and paid extra for the "large" portions. I received 2 containers of broth that were only 2/3 full. The chicken was weird in texture and there was not much of it. The "large" portion size here is comparable to a regular size at any other Vietnamese place. And the price was $28 - $14 for each! The taste of the broth was fine, but it was not a good value at all compared to other places in the area.
