    This place is the real deal. I get the lemongrass tofu sandwich and it honestly tastes better than some bahn mi I ate in Ho Chi Minh city. The tofu is super flavorful and has the texture of meat (I am not even vegetarian.) the place is tiny but I usually eat at their small tables. Also the women who work there are really nice, and you know it's good when the majority of the customers who walk in the door are vietnamese :)

    To me, Nhu Lan and Ba Le are the top two banh mi bakeries in Chicago. I like both of them for different reasons, but this new location really impressed me! The lemongrass chicken was marinated in a unique sauce and super flavorful. The Chinese roasted pork was also good, but the sweet bbq flavor is more commonplace. The French bread they came in tasted fresh out of the oven. From the look of it, you'll wonder how you can bite into something so monstrous, but your mouth will press down on warm, soft fluffy bread with just the right amount of chewy crust. Pickled vegetables, carrots, and cucumbers made me feel like less of a carnivore. My only disappointment was that the mango pineapple smoothie tasted artificial, but my boyfriend was a fan so to each their own. There are only 3 tiny tables that seat 2 and no restrooms; take-out may be more comfortable, but we happily devoured the sandwiches in record time.

    Hidden Gem Alert: You would have no idea this place was here unless you lived in the neighborhood and happened to stumble upon it or had it recommended like I did. Definitely worth the stop. I've been twice now in the past week and this place is legit. The Bun Bao, the roasted pork and even the fruit smoothies. Don't let the strip mall that surrounds this place discourage you. Make a pit stop.

    I love this place and am super glad its opened up another one!! I love this place and would pick it over Ba Le anytime! Easy to find in the new market center Spring rolls are on steroids The lemongrass chicken banh mi is a great choice if you don't eat beef or pork like me! They have about 19 different types of banh mis, and over 10 different types of vietnamese dessert drinks. I had the 3 color drink and it was tasty, you can also request to add ice with your drink. Their food is reasonably priced and filling! Also they have super dope specials, buy 5 banh mis, get one free, buy 5 egg rolls get one free!

    The lemongrass chicken banh mi was surprisingly good. I get bored of chicken sometimes, but it was very nicely marinated and fresh tasting. The Chinese bbq pork banh mi was also good but I suppose right on par with Ba Le and Tank. That goes for the bread as well - a good balance of crispiness and fluffy chewiness! We also ordered a mango-pineapple blend to wash down the sandwiches, which I really enjoyed. I admit there might've been a little bias since we went to Joy Yee ToGo the night before and ordered the same thing - only to get a very mediocre version there. In comparison this was way, way more satisfying. Will return! EDIT: Tried to return. They close at 6pm during the week, and 7pm on the weekends! So early...so much for stopping by for a quick banh mi dinner after work :(

    Great banh mi sandwiches and Pho. Takeout preferred as there's only a couple of small tables. Friendly staff.

    i think i may have tried a bun bao at every bakery in this 1 mile radius. i am a bun bao addict and this place is one of my favorites. they have both a traditional bun bao with ground pork and a xa xiu pork version. the bun baos are a bit more expensive than the other bakeries but still suffices as a very cheap mini meal/snack. the dough to filling ratio is good and the dough is fluffy and soft with a bit of sweetness. meat is well flavored. they will also heat it up for you if ask. they also have fresh banh chung and banh tet and other tet (Vietnamese new years) goodies right now

    I am beyond thrilled that my favorite Ban Mi just moved in closer to home. Will be here all the time.

    So thrilled they have opened a location in Uptown! The best bahn mi in the city, in my opinion, with four vegetarian options and delicious bubble tea. Friendly service and a truly great addition to the neighborhood. Oh, and FREE PARKING!

    Cheap, delicious, friendly. I literally go here several times a week. Try the lemongrass tofu, you won't believe it's not meat. Also, extra pâté on a Banh Mi is never a bad decision.
