Simply awesome. I'm surprised that this restaurant offers more traditional Vietnamese dishes than Pho and Vermicelli. I especially enjoyed their Bo Kho. The beef had melt-in-mouth level of tenderness and was super flavourful. Their sausage summer rolls were super pretty and tasted fantastic as well. Surprisingly, the sausages were rather sweet. Definitely coming back for more.

I’ve been a regular at Green Leaf and have always enjoyed their food, but my recent experience was incredibly disappointing. I called the restaurant at 7:25 pm to see if I could place a dine-in order in advance, given that they close at 8 pm. I even explained that I eat quickly and could finish a bowl in just 5 minutes. However, the lady I spoke with refused. It’s fine so I said ok I will do a takeaway. When I picked up the order, my Vietnamese coffee was missing, and there was no apology. She just said “oh”a . I decided not to tip, and the lady responded with an attitude. To make matters worse, the soup was cold, making it impossible to cook the raw beef. We consumed the meal upstairs within 5 minutes of leaving the restaurant, so it's clear the soup was never hot enough from the start!!! We were moving so we live upstairs but we don’t have anything to heat it up at that point. Asked for utensils and of course nothing was in the bag too. What made it even more frustrating was that they hadn't even closed by the time we finished eating and went downstairs. As regular customers, this level of service was surprising and disappointing. We thought after we moved we will drive back to this restaurant but now it’s a NO in capital letters. We’ll be looking for another Vietnamese restaurant. For the manager, please consider hiring staff with better attitudes if you expect tips. I hope you guys understand rejections plus missing item with zero apologies does not lead you to any tips.

I ordered viet Ice coffee and rice meal and waited for ~50mins for my ice coffee. I have to leave right away as I have to go back to work but I still haven't gotten my ice coffee. I paid for it already and did gave tip. However, they told me to wait for more time. They must have FORGOTTEN my ice coffee. I have to leave though instead of waiting due to work but never got a refund or the drink. My first time trying the restaurant and this is the experience I got. Never coming back again!!!!!!!

From my favorite pho place to .. l never plan to return again.. Came in for my favorite rare steak pho today and ordered a large ... All i got was noodles, I get it they try to keep prices low and retain customers, but customers are looking for quality ... At least I am I took one bite and left ... The staff did not care about my feedback and did not even offer a partial refund

This place is super packed at Sunday noon hour. I've been to this location several times and I thought I made a review here a while back but guess it didn't take? Anyway, great food, amazing vibe from the obviously content patron here. I was here with a friend and I ordered lots because I was in a good mood. Ordered my usual favorite pho and lots of delicious 🤤 appetizers. The server was fine in checking the food but didn't come by for the tea refill 😞 Def would eat here again whenever I'm in their area, but usually I tend to go to the downtown flagship location more because I frequent the area more plus my patronage there has been much longer. Still happy this place is just as good which is great for friends and relatives who live closer to the western communities.

Went late this afternoon for early dinner first time trying it; heard the one downtown was good so gave this a go! The building is old and really needs a major face lift but the food was totally amazing wife had the 37 crispy noodles with prawns and veggies I had the traditional chicken Vietnamese sub sandwich and it was delicious! Ordered the deep fried tofu and it was amazing fresh ginger and onion in a nice sauce. They make their own hot chili sauce; the service was good. They are closing this one and moving to Colwood corners. Would love to go back and try the many menu items food was fresh and delicious! A+

Enjoyable place for an excellent Vietnamese dinner. The green tea is excellent and went well with our meals. Starting with the lightly fried tofu in ginger sauce, we had vermicelli lemongrass chicken & sugarcane shrimp dinners. Both were very good but know that sugarcane shrimp is a processed shrimp mix. All good and friendly service. I recommend a visit.

Fast food vibe, the environment has no ambiance, very bright overhead lighting. Echoes- sound absorbing panels would help a lot (phone at reception is blaring loud). Also, why is there a portrait of Drake in the womens washroom? Just weird and out of place, not what I want to stare at as I sit on the toilet... Pros: new/ clean, chilli oil on each table, pho has good meat portions and lime wedge. Cons: no atmosphere and confused aesthetic vision

This used to be one of our go-to gems in the Westshore. Quick service, great food, large portions, inexpensive. All that is GONE. They ve moved to Colwood Corners (pay parking after 90 mins) atmosphere is cold, loud - think cafeteria - hard wood chairs and dirty everything. It was packed plus non-stop take out orders which meant the poor servers could NOT keep up nor even attempt to be friendly (NOT their fault) Did not ask about beverages - gave us the shittiest water (I kid you not, they somehow screwed up water) in dirty glasses. The food has changed. Noodles in the Pho are different - portion smaller. Stew had 5 massive chunks of pure, inedible fat. The prawn salad rolls were a sliiiiver of prawn sliced in - third? And placed strategically on the visible side of the roll to appear like it had more than just that in it! Waited forever for the bill which was $60!! Salad rolls, small beef Pho and fatty stew! Tepid tap water in a dirty glass while sitting on a hard school chair. Sad to see the decline but we ll never be back.

Decent food, very bad service.

October 22, 2024

I ve been here many times. After Covid I was served mouldy jalapeños. I decided to give them another chance and service was absolutely terrible. I chalked it up to short staff and continued to go. I went twice in oct 2024 and the server was rude, once I got my food they did not come back to my table despite me trying to wave them down. I went back one more final time and they were rude to me again and my portion size was much smaller than the previous time. I even noticed them talking about me and my girlfriend in the corner. I ll never go back after that. Absolutely terrible service

I like that it is closer to us now. The place is more modern looking now. It is free parking for 90 minutes in the area. The food though (we think), while still good, was not as good as the last few times we have had it in the previous Goldstream location. The soup and grilled chicken tasted less flavorful and the fried wonton a tiny bit bland. Even the service was not as warm as before compared to the older location.

September 22, 2024

Several people, including myself and friends, have experienced food poisoning from restaurant (Westshore location). Initially, I thought my case was an isolated incident, but Ive since learned that others I know have been affected as well. Very unfortunate, but be cautious when ordering from here. I will never order again after my experience.

The whole experience was lacklustre if not altogether terrible. The wonton soup was lukewarm with very bland broth. The mango salad was poorly skinned mango that required careful examination and trimming of each piece to get rid of all the tough green skin. The server was completely absent, and no one ever came to ask us anything or follow up after getting our order. We had to stand up to leave to get someone to come over and ask if we were finished. At that point I mentioned the mango salad wasnt good, and the server had the gall to bring out a whole mango to demonstrate that we were wrong, and that we didnt know what mango skin looked like. Heres a lesson for this restaurant: The good part of mango is not green, and if there are green, tough bits on one end of every cut piece, THAT IS SKIN and should be trimmed. Would you serve the white part of a watermelon at a restaurant, knowing that its not the tasty bit? The server acted like they had won something by proving this, completely ignoring the fact that she had two unhappy customers who know how mango is supposed to be served. We just let her have her power trip, and we will never come back. Anyway, not a good experience, the other Green Leaf downtown is better.

Disgusting. We ordered two plates of spring rolls and ate less than one. They were mushy and old (freezer burnt - see pic). The tofu in the veggie we ordered was chewy. The vermicelli pork dish was also left half eaten - the noodles were in a massive solid clump thrown into the centre. Dishes are way overpriced. I ordered a lemonade and they forgot to bring it. Overall, disappointing. We won t return.

June 22, 2024

My recent visit to this place is totally disappointment, especially the service. I ordered my meal and picked it at front desk. I tipped well even if it was a take-out. However, the waitress was unhappy to provide receipts. When I opened the takeout bag later, there was no utensils and they never asked if I need them. Moreover, no napkin in the bag either. Two phos with one roll appetizer costed approximately $60. Food quality is way lower than pre-pandemic time. Rice noodle got sticky together and roll appetizer was not enjoyable at all.

We tried out the new location at Colwood Corners the other day. It was a mixed experience, but well try it again another time. Food: It was alright. But my Pho was not hot enough to cook the raw meat in the bowl. Thats a little concerning. The dessert we wanted to order was not available. Prices: A little more pricey than another similar restaurant we know of. Service: Attentive at first, but then ignored us after we finished our meal even though it was not busy at the time. Ambiente: The new location is very nice and clean. It was not crowded at the time.

Colwood Location (1909 Sooke Rd #129, Colwood) Pho noodles were slightly overcooked. Service wasnt very good (didnt stop by the table very often, and it wasnt very busy). Table was dirty where we were seated. Food was ok overall. I understand a lot of this can change from visit to visit but nonetheless I think its worth mentioning in hopes its observed by management. Id rate this place a 6.5/10 as a first impression. Ill be coming back because its convenient and very close to where I live. Overall giving 4 stars, being generous in the hopes I have a better experience next time. Will adjust accordingly. Its important to note that Im comparing this to other similar establishments nearby. Ive also traveled the world so theres that also. Someone who eats Vietnamese only a few times per year will likely give this place 5 stars - which is unfortunate. Its important to remember that these reviews are quite subjective which is why I listed objective facts at the beginning. Always be skeptical of reviewers who constantly leave 5 star reviews.

I was at this restaurant today for lunch. I couldnt eat the food, no taste. I used to go often but the quality is down. Chicken, rice and veggies were boiled and served. No spices and no taste.

Langford location is larger than one downtown. I prefer location downtown as it is smaller and busier. Langford location, service is quick however they leave you to yourself once food is served. (Ie no checkins to see if you are doing okay or need anything further.) Had the beef brisket pho- broth not very flavorful. The slices of ham did not identify as ham. Meatballs are interesting. Liked that the slices of meat were raw and they cooked in the broth. Served with the typical sprouts, jalapeno peppers and basil. Tea was served with the meal. Serving was large and took the remainder in a container home with me.

Local Guide
December 22, 2023

In my opinion, this restaurant is great value for the money. It appears to be family-run, and the service varies depending on whos serving you, but the food is great, fresh, and hot. The bill is always less than I think its going to be, given the amount of food I order when I go there with my daughter and grandchildren, and I always leave satisfied (and usually with a doggy bag, which is not for the doggy :-). As far as I know there is a Green Leaf Bistro downtown well, but the one that I go to is in Langford, on Goldstream Avenue. The only thing I can complain about, and this is pretty small, is that it has a lovely deck outside and a garden that someone once loved. If they were to clean the garden up, there would be more street appeal and I think it would be a pretty nice draw, especially in the nice weather when people want to sit outside. The building itself is very cool. It looks like it used to be a house. A few years back there was another restaurant in there, some kind of bistro that failed. The Green Leaf gang is doing well. They have managed to hang on in the midst of covid. They seem very careful with their masking, sterilizing and with seating people appropriate distances apart. They have a thriving takeout service. You know that a restaurant makes good food when covid-19 hadnt dragged them under! Vegetarian options: They have about 10 options, all variations on the regular menu. Parking: I think theres about 30 spaces. Kid-friendliness: Kids are regular people there. They dont cater to them (toys, playground) but they dont make you feel like you just brought a monkey into the house either.

The food is really good and big portions.

Every time the door opens, you can feel the cold air coming in. We indeed up eating with our outside jacket on! This would be my first and last dining in.

I was there in this restaurant with my spouse on 7th May 2023, Highly racist behavior from a male server who usually stands at the cash who is between 40 and 50 yo with glasses, this is my second bad experience in a row, I will never go back to this place ever. Being originally from a indian backgrounds, I never got treated well at this place, the first time time I called this place to order a take out order the same guy who answered tryed to sell me more than what I asked for, I felt like stealing from me. The second time I went in for a dine in no review or questions about how the food was, and I had to wait attest for 30 min to get my bill even though the restaurant was not busy, where as the asian family who sat behind us was treated very well and was given good service possible. For this same reason 0% tip for service and food. I highly recommend watching out for this guy who is between 40 and 50 yo, all the other young services in the store are polite and friendly.

I ve been coming here for years. It is consistently delicious. Highly recommend. Their grilled patty spring rolls are deadly

My soup was $20 on the menu, my spouses - $18. On the bill the prices becamse $21 and $18.80. Food was decent, everything else wasnt. The owner (or at least somebody senior at that moment) was visually examining the parking lot when taking our order and never came close to a smile. After he hastily dropped of our order, he went to a table full of his compatriots and suddenly became a warm and smiley guy.

One of the best Asian restaurant around langford area. I really enjoyed their dishes especially the chicken noodle soup. The staff is very polite, clean dining, reasonable prices. It is the best feeling to have a hot soup watching the rain. Food : 5/5

Found 5 dead flies in my pho, they floated to the top after I mixed it up and had already ate some. I alerted the staff and we did get my meal for free. However they didn t seem too concerned and just stayed there are a lot of bugs right now Then my husband and I both got food poisoning. Beware.

A pretty good spot to enjoy Vietnamese food. The staff is super friendly and the price range of the food is very budget friendly. We ordered a special pho noodle soup and fried fish. Both were amazing. Make sure you pay a visit at the restaurant whenever you are in a mood to eat Vietnamese authentic food Food

Dietary restrictions: You can substitute items and ingredients no problem. Parking: They have at least 50 spots available to park. Kid-friendliness: Kids can eat here too. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to the main entrance which is easily accessible.

A nice little busy place for Pho or other Vietnamese food. The beef pho was great, but the best part is their house made chili oil. I even purchased a small container of it to take home and use, I placed it into a small mason jar for better storage. Absolutely will come back again.

Best place in Langford for some comfort food. Hot soup, fresh salad, grilled chicken over rice noodle,you name it! Secret menu - get the spicy beef with pho noodle, surely rice impress! Papaya salad is awesome and the chicken vermicelli with shrimp or spring roll will satisfy. Portion is always so generous. Be prepared to get lost in good food

Had nothing but good experiences here, until there was an issue. It wasnt handled satisfactorily at first, but the owner reached out to rectify the situation. Sadly, I was busy shortly after and for the rest of the week, so I never took them up on the replacement meals that were offered. However, their willingness to address the issue has made me reassess and change my review back to the five star this restaurant clearly deserves.

I ordered their Caramelized shrimp on cast iron plate, and it was not what I expected. Shrimp was not even seasoned, and they just mixed shrimp with bell peppers and some onions, and they sprinkled it with tiniest amount of dried caramelized onion! Would never ever go back to this place, as there is no flavor and no art nor authenticity in their food.

Not the best. Their pho might be a diff story but disappointed in the salad rolls, banh mi and vermicelli dish. Will not be back, sorry.

One of the worst experience. Were 4 adults taking a small kid, and need to borrow a chair to be seated. The owner saw another group of 4 people came after us and want to seat them first. (maybe they dont need to borrow chair and they could make another table intact lol. ) We were just driven away with the kid!

Usually really good food here and we used to eat here often, but the last time was not good at all and we havent been back since. There is no email contact info on the website (that I can see) and nobody replied to my Facebook message requesting a call from a manager. Its been a few weeks now and too late to phone them. Maybe this review will prompt contact. As an owner of a small business, I would appreciate it if my clients let me know if their experience was terrible. Sad how one terrible experience can erase the positive ones from memory.

December 22, 2022

We arrived at 7:40, and the restaurant s open sign was still on. The server told us we can t even sit down, or they won t take our order. We go there very often, and we know their usual time for last call is 7:45-7:50. I am angry with the server that gave us a very bad attitude.
