I work for a local university and needed to order food for a group of about 20 students and two faculty/staff members. I called ahead of time about placing a large order for pickup and I was told that placing an order in person would be cheaper than doing so online, because Uber Eats raises the prices. I appreciated that tip and I asked if they took Apple Pay, and the person I spoke to on the phone said yes.When I arrived at the restaurant, I put in my large group order, tried to pay with Apple Pay and it didn't work. It didn't work when I tried to use my work card, nor did it work when I tried to switch to a personal card. They asked if I had a physical card that I could use and I said not at the moment, which is why I called ahead and asked about Apple Pay. I left the establishment, signed out of my Apple account and signed back into it. I then checked to make sure it was working at another local business and, indeed, it was. I returned to the restaurant to try paying for my order again and the credit card machine was still strangely not accepting my Apple Pay. At this point, the person at the register who was ringing me up did not offer to reset the credit card machine, even though I mentioned I had just used my Apple Pay another establishment and it worked.I returned the next day, after testing my Apple Pay at a gas station just before going in and I went to place my order again and the Apple Pay was mysteriously still not working. I let the same cashier know again that I had just used it at another location and there must be something wrong with their system, to which the cashier just ignored what I was saying and asked if I had a physical card, which I did this time. They take the card and look at it very closely and then run the payment. That credit card worked and I was able to place the order.I really don't want to make any assumptions, but this cashier at no point tried to reset the system when my Apple Pay didn't work and also wouldn't key in the credit card information the night before. He said they don't do that. Fair enough. However, I find it suspicious that my payment method suddenly worked when I arrived with the physical University stamped credit card from where I said I worked. I think this cashier thought I was trying to scam their business and was rejecting my payment on purpose. And I don't want to assume that it was racially motivated, but I am Black and the thought certainly crossed my mind.At the very least, this person's actions were bad business practice. If a customer tells you that their form of payment works and you reject it on two separate days without trying to do any troubleshooting on your end, that's bad business. And, if they had a policy that mandated a physical card be used for purchases above a certain amount, I would have been happy to honor that. However, no such policy exists and I cannot help but believe that he assumed I was trying to scam him with my Apple Pay. If it was racially motivated or not, I had to come back in the middle of the day on a different day just to pay, which was extremely inconvenient. Not satisfied with my service at all.

Great banh mi! Bread and ingredients are fresh, and always a solid lunch. I always grab one the day before for roadtrips.

Got pho, banh mi, and veggie spring rolls. The pho and banh mi delivered. Only complaint with banh mi is that it wasn't served on a baguette, rather it was on a hoagie bun.The spring rolls were not our favorite. I felt like there wasn't much taste. And I had heartburn for a while and a fishy taste that lasted for a long time.

Amazing pho and bahn mi. The pho broth is so rich and flavorful yet clean, crisp, and refreshing. One of the best pho I’ve ever had.

Family-owned neighborhood gem. Come for the pho, leave with a banh mi! To go bowls are perfect since they come in a bowl where you just pour the stock over the dish. Yum!

Good food and reasonable prices. Le's is a nice neighborhood spot that I eat at regularly. I can't speak to its authenticity.

Its a hidden gem! One of my favorite places for richly seasoned lemongrass chicken or spiced crispy pork-belly bahn mi. Or go for the pho and get a generous amount of veggies and brisket in a savory broth. Glad I happened upon this place years ago. Vegetarian options are available.

I usually am happy with everything from here. I decided to try the bao buns this time and 2 come with order for $14. When I got them I was shocked at how little food it is. I felt ripped off honestly.

Le's has really good pho good service I haven't tried their other dishes yet but they look really good. The owner is very nice and generous. I picked him up one time Ubering and he tipped me $10 nice guy.

Pho tai nam was good but the amount of beef included was very minimal. Ordered a large and literally only got four small pieces of beef.
