Green Leaf Vietnamese Bistro — Restaurant in Victoria

Absolutely delicious Pho. This Vietnamese restaurant has an extensive menu chock full of dishes I haven't even seen before. I will definitely be returning 'pho' another helping!

I was really impressed with how quickly our food came after we ordered it, and when it arrived it was a generous portion (large bowl, steak and brisket) for $14. Also of note, when my friend asked for more veggies instead of noodles they were more than happy to oblige. The broth had an excellent richly spiced flavour (not to be confused with spicy), and was served with copious amounts of fresh sprouts and basil. The fact they also provide free hot tea is an added bonus.

I honestly can't think of anything really negative about the experience at all. I would highly recommend this spot to a seasoned Pho fan and newbie alike. If you're not super hungry, a regular portion will suffice, but the large is only $1.25 more and gets you a meal and then some! Try out the broth before you jazz it up, as I was surprised at how flavourful it was with nothing added at all. The server, who noticed how much spice I added, recommended I try to Spicy version next time I come in as it's seasoned with a secret selection of spices!

Victoria is really quite a delight when it comes to discovering new Asian food venues, and this one is definitely a worthy contender for one of the top spots in the Vietnamese cuisine department. Maybe even better than my local neighbourhood...

Thanks very much for your reply. I cannot reply directly to you.

Yes, she. A female. At front desk probably cashier.

Very very horrible experience with the waiter. Do not come if you want to have a great day.

First, we come with family, when the waiter in the front desk serve us and ready to order. She showed a very bad manner without any respect. After we ordered, she did not even say a word okay. Just nod her head when I asked if she understood what we ordered.

During eating, I found a very black shrimp. But I just leave as it is. When my kid ask for a candy, she ignored him many many times. And finally she said, you will get one when your mom paying. We asked for box for packing up many many times, especially not many clients today. And she ignored as well. Finally get one for us with very very good manner.

Finally , when I show her the black and dirty shrimp, she said with very bad tone: it is as it is. No sorry at all. We packed up for three boxes, asking for a bag, she also showed very impatient and even throw that bag to us.

We have known this restaurant for many years and brought and recommend our friends to there a lot of times. But now, no! Never want to go anymore.

This is the first time I wrote such a review. Please take seriously! No shown appreciation at all. Such such bad experience.

If you changed your waiter, I...

This is one of my favorite Vietnamese Restaurant in town ! Convenient to anywhere in downtown area and they are always busy, you can tell most people knew what they are looking for when comes to the quality of food! Next to this place, my regular Vietnamese food place is the one close to silver city theatre 🎭! I had lunch there and even though many people were there that day , but we didn’t wait too long for our order!
