Delicious Vietnamese food with a great variety of options. The bread and meats they use for their bahn mi are delicious. They also have really good Vietnamese iced coffee. They have a variety of Boba milk tea available as well. Service is also always great and fast. A great neighborhood spot, good for dining in or taking something to go. One of my favorite places to eat in the city.

Great spot off the beaten path. Very well hidden gem in Uptown. Definitely feels like a family run establishment that cares. Counter service yet hospitable, the menu and kitchen are small, yet the flavor is grand and hard to find elsewhere in New Orleans. We had the pork egg rolls as well as the pork belly bang mi and the pork belly steamed bao buns, everything is as amazing!

I have been wanting good Banh Mi. Don’t listen to the reviews saying this is “bad neighborhood” It’s in a decent area- the parking will be street. Food was amazing. The French bread was amazing. The filling had just enough seasoning without overpowering. Thai tea was good but the boba will need some work.

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!

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!

Le’s is me and my boyfriends go-to. Their bah mi is to die for and they’re pho is amazing. The pork bao buns are amazing as well. Robert and Kevin are kind and always chatting it up with us. I recommend this place to everyone. (Also their takeout is just as good and they pack all the side perfectly) I love this place!!!
