Ba Le Vietnamese Sandwich - Oakland

Real Vietnamese sandwich Taste good value, open Friday and weekends only.

Loved the ham and meatball with egg. Bread was super crunchy and soft all at the same time. Sandwich was cheap,full of flavor, and delicious. Also got the shredded pork which was just meh and the shrimp app which was different. The Vietnamese coffee is not overly sweet and liked it a lot. The area is about what you would expect, but it was fine going mid day. Place was busy, but the line moves quick and there was plenty of street parking at 1pm on a Friday right out front. Egg with meatball was not a combo I was expecting, but the 2 flavors we’re delicious together. Would return. Cash and credit card accepted (3.9% fee for credit).

This is my family’s go to Banh Mi shop and we have been coming here for over 20+ years. We were extremely surprised to find out that 3 sandwiches, 1 bánh cuốn and 2 eggrolls costed $51. They do not provide itemized receipts so we are unsure if the prices went up and they did not update their menu prices or they charged us incorrectly.

Wasn 't open; Google says Temporarily closed . But as of Nov 28, sign on door says, Closed until Dec 15, 2023 . Will try again.

Favorite Banh Mi spot in the Bay Area north of Vietnam Town in San Jose. They have an absurd amount of options, cheaper prices, fast service, quality smoothies, and solid Vietnamese style coffee. The staff are friendly and they offer free parking in the back. The only con is they're only open Fri-Sun until 3pm-3:30pm so expect a line although it'll go by quickly.
