delicious

clearly marked vegan options including 4 kinds of banh mi, pho, rice, and noodle mains plus appetizers. a fully vegan dessert menu (!!!) and lots of readymade vegan options including puddings, soymilk, and Vietnamese pickles. highly recommend if you can ignore all the meat!!

Pros: clearly marked options, delicious food and kind staff, VEGAN DESSERTS!!!

Cons: lots of meat is visible :(

Tasty sandwiches

These sandwiches were excellent, my boyfriend and I inhaled them. The bread could have been softer. I prefer the Avocado/tofu to the imi-meat.

Pros: Tofu , Overall flavors

Cons: Bread a bit crunchy

Staple vietnamese place with lots of vegan options

I have been coming here for years, when they had a branch downtown I used to go there. I love the salad rolls, I get mine the way they used to offer vegetable rolls sans avocado and Sriracha. So flipping delicious. They have lots of vegan drinks, deserts, Bahn mi and more too!

ooooooh

Got their vegan beef and vegan lemon grass chicken. The flavors were mild but really intriguing. Would definitely come here again!

We ordered 3 different kinds of vegan sandwiches and a rice dish. Our fave is the vegan tofu with eggplant banh mi- so flavorful!

Best vegan banh mi in Chicago

7 vegan banh mi to choose from. The vegan beef is an umami bomb. Delicious!

Authentic Vegan Delights

This is the kind of restaurant that's worth going out of your way for. A rare find. Outstanding vegan & vegetarian sandwiches & desserts you won't find anywhere else in the city. Highly recommend.

Street parking (small fee). A few outdoor tables. A few indoor tables. Does mostly carry out.

Wonderful vegan sandwiches!

Ba Le is in my neighborhood and I go there whenever I want fast, delicious Vietnamese sandwiches. My favorite is the Vegan Eggplant Tofu sandwich. They have four vegan sandwiches which is a lot for a non vegan place. I also recommend their smoothies!

Yum!

There aren't a lot of clear vegan options in Uptown and Little Vietnam. Ba Le has all the vegan items clearly labeled and ingredients listed on their fresh made to go items. I tried both the lemongrass chicken bahn'mi (made with king oyster mushrooms)and the soy beef bahn'mi. Both were delicious! Inexpensive, fast, good vegan food in an area w/out a lot of vegan choices. Recommended!

Pros: Clearly labeled vegan items, Tasty!, Fast & cheap

Cons: Can be busy at lunch time- popular shop, Not a ton of seating
