“ Really good Vietnamese food, their smaller La Saigon De Vendour in lower East Austin echos in this place on the food quality. Staff are so cool and easy going, friendly and very helpful, the bahn mi and their version of vermacilli are amazing. Really nice spot to grab lunch, well priced, and so flavorful. The Vietnamese iced coffee is also amazing! ”
“ Our favorite place ! Tasty food. Wonderful dishes , all of them! Our favorites are chicken wings - the marinate is this addicting juicy fresh sweet a bit tangy passion fruit sauce. Chicken pho has the juiciest meat slices. We love that they use the traditional pho noddles. They have variety of tropical inspired cocktails as well. Customer service is excellent. The staff there is friendly and easy to chat with. Highly recommend ”
“ Great place to eat if you are wanting great fresh Pho. They do a great job on presentation and taste. Our Team loves when we get Le Bleu for office lunch. Thank you for being a refreshing lunch. ”
“ Stopped in for a quick snack with a friend. We had the chicken pho, bahn mi and some roasted corn ribs. Everything was yummy and they split the portions for us. Which was perfect. Will be back. ”
“ I love this place. It's good, consistent, and priced right. The place on South First is not as good as Le Bleu in my opinion. It's overpriced and overcrowded. If you want delicious food, support a local mom-and-pop, get down to Le Bleu, and go often. The whole menu is worth a try. I can't pick what's my favorite because it's all so good. They also have cocktails. Check it out, you'll thank me. ”
“ Stopped here randomly on the way back to Houston. Glad we did, food was delicious. Especially the lamb banh mi. ”
“ Cozy, delicious, fresh food. Service could have been just a beat faster but was still very kind and attentive. The garlic shrimp banh mi was perfect in every bite. ”
“ I came here for a late lunch. It wasn’t very crowded, which is what I was looking for. The service has been excellent. I was seated immediately, and my waitress was very helpful about my questions about gluten free options. She would go ask if she didn’t know. I was definitely comfortable ordering. I tried the lemongrass margarita, spring rolls, shrimp bun (vermicelli noodles), and sipped on the passion fruit maitai for after my meal. The food came out fairly quickly, and all of it was delicious! The peanut sauce was straightforward and really well balanced for me. Sometimes peanut sauces aren’t gluten free, so I was glad to be able to eat it. The margarita was good, but I couldn’t taste the lemongrass, I may ask for them to put a little more of the lemongrass syrup in next time. The shrimp bun was exactly what I wanted! The shrimp was lightly breaded, and the whole dish was fresh and crunchy (except for the noodles), it really hit the spot. I love the mint in it.. I decided to get the passion fruit maitai after my meal, and it’s a lovely finisher.. the flavor was impressive, lots of stuff going on. There’s muddled blueberries in it. I definitely want my friends to try it when I bring them. My waitress was attentive, but not overly so. I never had to wait for anything, and she didn’t come by very often. Just the right amount of attention, imo. It’s calm, the music wasn’t too loud, and I love the decor! All the colors, and the wall art looks like it was made of scrap wood. Who doesn’t love seeing new life from old materials? I’ll be coming back for sure. ”
