Green Leaf Bistro — Restaurant in Duncan

So we tried this place today on a recommendation from a friend at work and I was not let down ! first let's talk about what I loved . This place was clean and smelled like fresh food very inviting ! we were asked to sit where we like and were immediately brought some hot tea. The menu was nicely laid out out and had plenty of very nicely taken pictures . I had the rare beef and brisket large pho and my wife had a regular size chicken I didnt notice a size difference to tell you the truth . I first tasted the broth as I always do it was a bit sweet from what I'm used to but had a very familiar flavor like home cooked or authentic as you can get lol ! everything about the soups I loved as I tried my wife as well. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled fabulous ! I talked with Danny and him and his family run the restaurant he was very kind and it turned out we a had a few things in common in our travels. Now let's talk about what I didnt like the pork spring rolls did not taste or look fresh at all the wrap looked dried out and the contents were mushy . this is the kind of thing that should be made fresh daily .. people can tell Danny lol ! I'm not gonna hold this against them however because the soup again was delicious. Now the last gripe is this there was no cream puff at the end and maybe this is only something they do in Seattle but I missed it and it would have made this visit perfect in my opinion lol ! still not gonna hold that against them . I will be back to try some of their other food ! seriously already planning on going back . PS The waitress was kind and polite and very attentive our tea was never empty and our plates were taken in a timely manner . She asked several times if everything was ok . All in all a great...

I will start this off by saying that I have never taken the time to write a poor review for a restaurant but I feel like people should hear about our experience at Green Leaf Bistro in Duncan. I understand the industry is struggling and maybe it was an off day but I was absolutely floored. Short of the long: we sent our meals back and requested the bill due to a few reasons (the worst involving a hair that came out of the nozzle of a squeeze bottle) and there was zero effort to rectify the situation. It's worth nothing that we were never checked on. I brought said hair up to the till in a napkin and requested our bill. It clearly didn't match anyone sitting at our table. We were leaving. I was shocked when we were charged full price for half eaten meals. When we disputed the bill, staff discussed without involving us in conversation. He took one of three meals off. We left hungry. I've been in the restaurant twice. The first time was ok and the second is enough to never go back. Also, for those who care, there was no effort to check vaccination status at the door. I walked in and sat down. Should go without saying but I do not reccomend...

Ok I ordered pho from this place based off the reviews so i was very aware of the owner but the reviews also said that the pho was amazing so I tried it, it was funny because I called in my order and he said it would be ready in 10 minutes. I show up maybe 15 minutes later and he says oh I forgot to put the order in can you sit and wait and it will be ready soon. First red flag but I sit and wait anyway but I have to say the pho with steak was excellent. The thinly sliced beef was fresh and tender. The broth was so rich in flavor and the noodles I got were thick and chewy. The homemade chili oil was top notch as well. Highly recommend this place but if you decide to dine in you may not have the greatest first experience either! Go for the food not the service lol

The 4 stars are for the food only. Second red flag is I ordered 4 pho soups and it was $62 which means it was either $15 per pho or the taxes are much higher there. I did tip $10 on the to go order because I knew the food would be good based of...
