  I'm in love with the Banh Mi sandwich.  It's definitely the Cadillac of sandwiches imo.  I'm also from Socal - excellent Vietnamese food in Socal.  The bakery two doors down from the ABC market is great and always crowded.  The banh mi's used to be $1 and it was buy 2 get 1 free.  It was great.  But now they're $3.75 (still buy 2 get 1 free).
  
  Anyways, that's all off topic.  The Banh Mi as this place, Ba Le Sandwiches, is excellent.  Not much else can be said - scrumptious!  And the lady's making the sandwiches are nice too.  Always a plus when you're treated like a customer and not a nuisance.  When they have attitude, I wonder about the food I'm getting - after all, the food preparers are in control and they know exactly what they're doing.

  I rarely write bad reviews but had to let fellow Yelpers know. For $5 I thought, why not try it. I ordered BBQ Pork with no veggies. I came when they opened and I will say the pork had to be at least 3 days old. Dry, dry, dry! I can get by rude employees when the food is good, but couldn't help saying "Don't waste your money here"! I tried eating it there but had to take it home so I could sauce it up a bit. The bread was good and the place was pretty clean, but there isn't a chance in hell I will go past the 1-star. I suppose if you don't mind paying $5 for some vegetables it might be okay. I'm a meat lover though. I went based on fairly good reviews from others, but if you're not going to serve fresh cooked meats, then you shouldn't be serving them at all.
  P.S., as you can see from the photo, I had to push all the meat to one side and tear the bread in half so I could get equal bread to meat.

  Tried three of the sandwiches - first banh mi I've had in Denver.
  
  They were all decent, and I'll order again. They didn't have a "pork" option, which I think is what I used to order at some good restaurants in Sacramento.
  
  I tried the Chinese BBQ pork, Vietnamese BBQ pork, and beef.  
  
  Several of us tried them, and all had different opinions. I believe I liked the Chinese BBQ the best (but can't remember for sure which one it was!), and I liked the beef too. The other BBQ one was my least favorite... sorry I can't remember which, but I'll probably try new ones if I come back. They had a large selection, though several are ones I'd never try.
  
  Good bread, spicy fresh pepper slices. If you like banh mi, give them a try and let me know if you know of a better source in town.

  Really tasty banh mi for one of the best prices in Denver. We ordered the combo meat banh mi and the roasted pork banh mi. Both were delicious and paired perfectly well with the bitter creaminess of their ca phe sua da. My only caveat for this place is that the lady there has one of the most serious cases of RBF I've ever encountered from a person in the service industry. But then I realized that it's for everybody who walked into the store during our time there, so whatever. Anyhow, go there for great banh mis and coffee; just don't expect too much such as a smile.

  Here's what you get: some delicious, affordable ($4.50), authentic banh mi sandwiches. Not sure yet if this place stands out vs the rest of the banh mi spots around Federal, but for now it's delicious and I'm happy with it. They also have a small selection of other Vietnamese treats, some Nem Chua, some colorful sticky rice xôi gc , some canned drinks.
  
  Here's what you don't get: a smile and a welcome, a "how would you like that?". Service isn't very friendly. It's usually just the two women in there, and I don't mind if they're focused on the food.
  
  I'll return occasionally, not all the time though
