Went there for the first time this week, at first we were confused because the babar green is only a takeout window to the side of the main restaurant, which is not vegan. The menu had decent options and the food wasn't bad. Having to sit outside or takeaway only is a bit of a bummer though.

Loved my lunch at Ba Bar Green, they offer dishes I haven't seen elsewhere and the staff was very knowledgeable about the menu. The area is a bit busy but is better than some of the vegan restaurants in town.

Listen this was the best food I have ever tasted. So much flavor and so well done. I have had pho all around the states and this one was special. They trimmed the fat from the beef, it was solid! I can't tell you enough that this place is a must try. We visited U district's location and Molly was our service. She was polite, patient, and knew exactly what to recommend. I decided to order two drinks. The names can be found below. One was toasted coconut, and the other was dill infused. Yes dill, like pickle. Lol. It was surprisingly refreshing, I would definitely recommend as a morning/afternoon refresher, but that toasted coconut? Oh I'm definitely coming back for that. I'm convinced you cant go wrong with whatever you chose to eat or drink here! What I ate: Spinach Tofu Paper Wrap: I loved this and I am a meat eater and I'm floored by the flavor. Pho Tái Lan: no words just tears lol. Delicious Drinks: Effective Immediately: and it definitely was that! Toasted coconut rum, sennza finne summer amaro, cinnamon, vanilla bean and eucalyptus 😍 Garden Shed: adequately named lol. Dill-infused aquavit, aloe, bell pepper syrup, lemon, and a pinch of salt. It sounds really weird but it works. It's not tart, just a weird refreshing, I can not explain it. Lol I hope you enjoy and Molly thank you again for helping the evening be fantastic!!!

I couldn’t believe it when my table of 4 ordered and our food was out in less than 10 minutes (and on a Saturday evening!!) I was even more surprised with how incredible everything tasted. I had the Saigon noodles and they were really top notch; the curry was excellent, the chicken was cooked perfectly, and the chili oil they gave me to top it added the exact right amount of spice. The rest of my group also loved their dishes — one said it was the best pho she had in a long time. Finally, the portions were spot ON. Just enough to feel really satisfied; a perfect portion.

Great flavorful and authentic Vietnamese dishes redone as vegan, and I was able to order vegan dishes at the same table as the normal ba bar with my party which was so convenient

Pretty decent vegetarian menu, the potato lakse is good! Drinks were bit underwhelming, but not too bad. Service was nice as well!

The eggplants are so airy and delicate! Plenty of solid vegan dishes! I got the sweet potato laksa ($19.50) and the chickpea miso eggplant ($9.00). Overall, solid options! I went to the SLU location.
Oh yeah my girlfriend and I munched this up like absolutely massive goats at a basketball game. Order the salads/brown rice bowls!! (The lemongrass noodles were good but not to the same level)

The food is amazing! Really loved the vastness of the vegan menu. They also had some dishes I’ve never seen at other restaurants which was great to try. Their vietnamese coffee is also so good. Everything was delicious.

Placed an order for pickup on Uber Eats after walking up to their outdoor window and being sent away since employees don’t speak English. They have two menus pay outside with different prices for the same items. Food is packaged and presented very nicely and tasted great, but portions were pretty small. For a place that advertises their vegan bona fides, they have very few non-meat protein options.
