We tried Baan Lao's beef curry & lamb curry platter, which came with a variety of traditional Bangladeshi side dishes.
I was really craving a good, comforting Bangladeshi meal, & this completely satisfied the craving! The curries were flavorful & hearty, & all the sides paired together beautifully. It genuinely felt like the kind of meal you'd sit down to eat at home with your family.
If you're looking for a comforting Bangladeshi meal that feels homemade & authentic, Baan Lao is definitely worth checking out.
Delicious food. I was confused about the combination but the 2 types of cuisine: Viet (I think also thai) & Bangladesh, not fusion. Each cuisine. Owners are from Bangladesh but love Vietnamese food & was trained by Vietnamese chefs.
Also, only halal so no pork here.
I only tried food that was Bangladesh as that was different for me & it did not disappoint! The food was so good I actually forgot to take a picture. Some items weren't available when we went Sunday at around 8pm. We had entrees of Fuchka which ws so interesting to eat. It was light, crispy on the outside I couldn't make sense of what it would taste like or if I'd like it based on reading the description but it's delicious & full of flavor & feels light & texturally, works.
For my main I had the chicken Bhuna, never having tried it before. It's not a heavy rich curry but that doesn't mean it lacks flavor. It feels lighter in some ways than a Japanese curry or Indian curry I've had but it had some familiar tones. Also really good.
We dined in & tea was included which was nice as so many places charge for this. Highly recommend, good prices, will go back.
Une ambiance chaleureuse & très convivial avec un service magnifique magnifique, nous avons été servi rapidement alors que notre commande était assez conséquente. Les plats étaient tous goûteux & une hygiène irréprochable.
C'est la pire bouf que j'ai mangé j'ai meme pas fini mon sandwich a cause de trés mauvais gout en plus c'est chere
Update July 2026
The beef Bahn mi quality has dropped, not just the quality of meat but the amount. Still pretty good but not nearly as delicious as when they first opened. Sometimes I still get a good sandwich but more often now it's not as good. A bit tough. Maybe something about who's cooking that day? Not sure.
Additionally they changed the combo to have spring rolls instead of a drink & made it more expensive. I don't really want spring rolls but they don't seem to sell the sandwich by itself. I preferred the drink if anything.
The staff continues to be friendly. It's still 4 stars just not wowing me with 5 stars like before
Original review-Good Bahn mi! I stopped by here on a walk & decided to try it out. Sandwich was fresh & tasty & really filling. They were very friendly & nice. The place is new & clean, brightly lit cafeteria vibes, seems like a good place for lunch. I'll be back glad to see something new in the neighborhood
Food was exceptional in quality, very reasonably priced, the atmosphere was warm & inviting. If you are looking for a delicious & nourishing place to dine then you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend the beef pho.
The food was delicious, the service was amazing & a very good quality & pricing.
Thank you & may god make your restaurant very successfull 🤲❤?
Tous les plats étaient délicieux, avec un accueil chaleureux. Quel plaisir de pouvoir goûter la fusion de la cuisine vietnamienne & bangladaise & tout est halal! Le tout à un prix abordable.
