Banh Mi Ba Le | Save Money, Order Delivery on balehouse.pikapoint.io — Restaurant in Mississauga

The small Vietnamese takeout spot in Mississauga is tucked away at the back/west side of an unassuming commercial building setback from Dundas St. W. It’s a bit hard to find but so worth seeking out. The owners are delightful; super helpful, friendly and very proud of their offerings.

They serve up some of the best traditional Vietnamese street food we’ve found anywhere in the GTA. Their Banh Mi sandwiches use a perfect bread and delicious meats, pickled veggies and herbs (super fresh cilantro). At only $5.50 they are exactly what they’re meant to be - an inexpensive, takeaway snack for people on the go (*in Vietnam Banh Mi are a ubiquitous breakfast food for people on the move). Our favourite so far is the #3 Thit Cha (pork roast with Vietnamese Bologna).

Their fresh rolls are equally delicious. The shrimp are delicately cooked and sweet, the rice paper and rice noodles are always fresh, and the crispy lettuce and holy basil are crispy and fragrant. The hoisin-based dipping sauce is always on point as well. Don’t miss out on these.

Beyond these two commonly recognizable standards they serve up a range of items that are not so commonly found in Toronto (but are common to the street food of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi). Their sticky rice dumplings stuffed with mung bean paste (Banh It Tran) and served with sweet dipping sauce is a flavour and texture extravaganza. And their Banh Tieu (hollow Vietnamese doughnuts) stuffed with chicken (or beef) are delicious, hefty snacks (or meals if you eat one on your own at a sitting) that are perfect for noshing on long walks or bike rides.

There are so many other delicious foods to choose from here and we’re determined to get back whenever we can to eat through their selection.

*Note: These folks have two locations. This review is for their Mississauga location. Their second location is at 538 Dundas St. W. - just west of Spadina in Toronto’s...

Back again for the assorted Banh Mi, It's always good and tasty. You can't only eat one. So I always buy at least 2 of them. They have 2 locations, pretty much right next to each other. You need to go to the one that says take-out. That's where you will find these sandwiches. Have a look at my pictures and press the like button!

First time here, my friend recommended it to me. I got 2 assorted Banh Mi and a tray of Banh Cucn. All that was only $12.50! Very good and tasty! As you see in my pictures, they have a lot more to offer besides sandwiches. They even have fresh spring rolls there, it smelt so good when I walked in! I will be back for sure to try more things out!...

My new favorite banh mi in the GTA. Came here on Thanksgiving Monday and it was opened. I've been a long time customer of Saigon Bakery which is in the same plaza facing Dundas. A friend recently told me about Ba Le which all her friends preferred and I had to give it a try. I got the OG assorted cold cut for $5. I felt that their banh mi had more patte than Saigon, which added more flavour and made it tastier. I did a side by side comparison and noticed Ba Le's baguette was drenched in soy sauce which I felt was overpowering and overly satly (could have been a one off). Overall I really liked the flavour and the taste of this banh mi.

Highly recommend and I think I'll be coming here more often...
