"We usually go with the grilled pork bánh mì at Saigon Le Vendeur on East 7th Street, in which the pork is cut fairly thick, so each piece is crispy on the outside with a juicy interior. But you can also keep it classic with the cold-cut and pâté version. The same team also operates a larger sister restaurant, Le Bleu, near 183 and Burnet. The bánh mì at the two are nearly identical—a big plus when there’s not much to improve on. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"Having opened a new restaurant on the same street, the Vietnamese business shuttered its food truck in mid-November to pivot to the brick-and-mortar." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A brick-and-mortar evolution of a Vietnamese food truck offering banh mi, vermicelli bowls, and other Vietnamese street-food staples in a sit-down neighborhood counter-service environment." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Home to one of our favorite bánh mì sandwiches in Austin, the people behind Saigon Le Vendeur closed their trailer and opened a brick-and-mortar right across the street from the old location on the East Side. For now, the menu is mostly the same—with bánh mì, vermicelli bowls, and curry ramen—but it’s expected to expand as the restaurant continues to grow and build out." - Nicolai McCrary
"Some of the city’s best banh mi can be found at Saigon le Vendeur. Pickup orders can be placed in person or online; there are outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell
