The Champions and Willowbrook areas aren't wanting for Vietnamese restaurants, but what sets Ba Mien apart—and what made the mom-and-pop shop a huge success since its first year—is how seriously it takes the "bistro" portion of its name. This is no hole-in-the-wall banh mi joint. Ba Mien serves classic Vietnamese dishes such as spring rolls, pho and bun bo Hue alongside French macarons and coffee.
