Reviews describe Le Bay Ca Phe as delivering authentic Vietnamese flavors with pho that is light, aromatic, and deeply flavorful, and banh mi that many consider the best they have tried, with broth and meat quality repeatedly praised and bowls and vermicelli dishes noted for their tasty profiles. The atmosphere is applauded for being cozy, modern, and calm even when busy, though the space can feel small and tables a bit cramped and parking can be challenging on a busy artery. Service is repeatedly highlighted as fast, courteous, and attentive, with staff described as friendly and welcoming. Portions are often generous and value is considered good, especially with lunch deals, though a few reviews mention smaller portions compared to other cities. The menu offers vegetarian options like tofu and other plant based sides, and takeout is convenient for busy days. Overall, Le Bay Ca Phe is seen as a reliable, flavorful destination that many patrons intend to revisit.
Nous avons découvert ce restaurant en même temps que les personnes avec qui nous avons partagé le repas. Pour mon bo bun, rien à redire, maîtrise des fondamentaux... Dans nos entrées, il y a le tofu frit qui mérite un meilleur traitement car il était fade malgré la sauce qui était bonne.

Belle découverte. Petit restaurant plein de charme avec un personnel très agréable. Mangeant régulièrement de la gastronomie vietnamienne, j'ai adoré mon expérience au Le Bay. Phò, rouleaux impérieux, & plats principaux, tout était bon. Gros coup de coeur pour les rouleaux ! Le rapport qualité prix est excellent.
Staff is welcoming & friendly. Got our orders taken & served within 15 minutes, considering that it's busy time (6PM), I say it's pretty fast. The Ya-ku drink is a must try! Food portion is big & really good. Will definitely be back.
This is my favourite pho in the city. The broth is always full flavoured & aromatic. I love that the grilled chicken pho comes with lots of fresh vegetables & the service is great & fast.

I love authentic Vietnamese food, & this seemed promising from the appearance & high ratings, but it was disappointing. Worst fried rolls we've ever had. Dishes were lacking interest, & ingredient quality was sub par. Maybe use some fresh mint? Napkins were laughable, like toilet paper. Is that how you're trying to save money? I'll never forget that detail. Mayonnaise in the salad dressing is also not authentic (in my experience) & it's not a good choice. No option for leaving out fish sauce from the noodle salad dressing (partner is vegetarian) & soy sauce given as the alternative. This is a joke. Are you not making any sauces in-house? In short, the many issues here are all management decisions that could be fixed.
Nice atmosphere, cute resto. The pho is amazing, their broth is soul healing & life giving! Fast & friendly service & if I may say, the food is almost as magnificent as their waitress Lee (or Li?)
Le Bay is my favorite Vietnamese in the city, & a great neighborhood spot. The pho is great, the Bahn mi's amazing, spring rolls, rice dishes along with everything else I've tried is consistently good. On top of that the staff is always super friendly & a cool decor/atmosphere takes this place over the top.

Le Pho est servi avec de la viande à fondue surgelée, tout comme le bò bún, pour le prix c est vraiment cheap. Tout autant que des egg rolls surgelés surtout quand on sait qu au Vietnam ce sont des nems que l on déguste, enroulés dans une feuille de riz... Ca fait dur pour un plat qui reviens à 23$ au final
On étaient pas certaines quand nous sommes entrées mais WOW. La nourriture incroyable. En tout cas les plats de curry sont complètement follement délicieux. Je recommande indubitablement!
Beau petit resto de quartier. L'accueil était bon. Service rapide, malgré que la place était pleine. Ce n'est pas de la fine cuisine, mais tout était bon. Il faut prendre en considération le rapport qualité.
