Ba Lee Sandwich Shop — Restaurant in Carrollton

Thankyou Tina #doobydobap for this recommendation on this hidden gem! I drove from downtown Dallas to try the banh mi and sugar cane drink and let me tell you.... it was totally worth the drive! Andy (owner I think) helped us and took our order and was very helpful and nice. I ordered what Tina had on her you tube video which was the number 2 and 5. I was so excited to try this because out of all the places Tina ate at in Dallas, this was her number one bite and by far her best banh mi by far she had ever had. That's some high praise so I had to try for myself! I took another banh mi lover with me. We both ordered the same. There is no seating inside so prepare to eat in car or take home. We ate off the trunk of my car and it immediately put a smile on my face. The French bread was so crispy and was the perfect vehicle to hold all the fresh ingredients and house made meats. It paired so well with the sugar cane, but honestly this sandwich would go with anything! I will definitely come back for this banh mi even though it's a drive. The value for the quality and freshness is unmatched and you would be a fool not to come here to try this banh mi! I would give 6 stars if I could. Maybe add 1 or 2 tables for people like me to eat at but that's just a bonus, I'll still come and happily eat outside or in the car. Lol. Well anyways, if you don't try this place, your just dumb. Haha...

I haven’t been here in 4 years, ownership has since changed, the price went up a bit but two things haven’t changed: the quality and the awesomeness of their Banh Mi. Bar none, the best Banh Mi sandwiches in the Carrollton/Lewisville/Plano/Frisco/Flower Mound area. If you want authentic Banh Mi and live in any of those cities this is the ONLY place you should go to. Pate? They have it and aren’t afraid to use plenty of it. Pickled veggies? Crispy and just the right amount of sweetness. Vietnamese Mayo? You actually get it here unlike other places that use some crazy concoction that’s so disrespectful to true Banh Mi connoisseurs. Even at $3 per sandwich this is an absolute value. Yes, $3. If you’re paying anything close to twice that price somewhere else you’re most likely paying for a gentrified version of the Banh Mi so don’t do it to yourself. Instead, do yourself a favor and take yourself here, get 5 sandwiches (to get that golden 6th one free), go home, sit back and relax with a...

We found out about the place after watching a YouTube video that showcased the restaurant. Upon arrival, we noticed it is a small restaurant, almost mirroring a purely takeout spot, but they did have two tables with a few seats so seating is minimal. They have a basic yet effective menu. We went specifically for the banh mi and stuck to that. They have 7 different sandwich options. They had a promotion of buy 5 get 1 free so we got 6 out of the 7 sandwiches. We also got coconut water and sugarcane drinks. Everything was so good! As always, there will always be one sandwich that is preferred than others and that was the combination for us although the grilled pork was a close second. The sandwich bread was so crispy and the vegetables perfectly balanced the meats. The drinks were great, but next time I would try the coconut sugarcane combination. It's a great bang for your buck and we will definitely...
