The bowls are so big!!! And they have all the sauces on hand - food was pretty dope - tsingtao in the cooler 😤 Someone was farting a bunch around us so that’s why I gave 3 for atmosphere

Ok let me be clear the food was excellent, before coming here I checked the reviews and people were saying this is a non recommended place. It’s all a lie. I loved every single thing the service, the food, the atmosphere etc. I asked the waiter what dish they recommended and I had no idea what it was that they picked. But it was just so flavorful and delicious. Would be back again with more family!

I would leave 1 star but leaving 2 for old times sakes as I haven’t had an experience this appalling with them before. This visit was really disappointing. My friend and I ordered two dishes, and when one of our dishes had some remnants of what seems to be a metal dish scrubber, we let the staff know who attempted to rectify the situation offered to remake the dish. We thought that was it but towards the end while paying we asked for two containers to take our food home, when the waiter scoffed and left our table and took the payment machine too. Later when he came back, he immediately saw that there was another table waving him down and just went over to them leaving my friend and I having to go to the front to be able to pay. In another note they also were not attentive filling up my water. Small but noted. Disappointed, hoping it was just a one time fluke. Won’t be back for a good while.

Pho was $22 with tax. With tip it’s $25. Really expensive compared to Calgary where a bowl is $15. The large size at this restaurant is a Medium size in comparison to other Vietnamese restaurants. Service was a miss. Seemed like they preferred to cater more to non-asian guests, which is fine. My business will go elsewhere. I recommend pho boi or pho tru which is just 6 minutes walk down the street.

Good service and atmosphere but did not find the food overly amazing... it is also overpriced for the quality you get.

I recently dined at Green Leaf Vietnamese Bistro, and the experience was mixed. Unfortunately, the staff were not friendly at all. They seemed busy and brought utensils and dishes to our table almost as if they were throwing them. The food itself was decent, with flavors typical of Vietnamese cuisine. However, the sour sauces seemed to attract quite a few flies, and it appeared that pest control was not well-managed. The restroom facilities were small but separated, with two stalls for women and one for men. Overall, while the food was passable, the service and cleanliness left much to be desired.

★★★★

Pho was not on par. The broth does not have that authentic flavor. The chef just need to tweak a little with the recipe. Rice noodle with grill meat, prawn was excellent with very flavorful marinade. It was one of the best I've tried from SoCal, NorCal, Houston.... The fish sauce, a very important component of a good noodle with grill meats dish, was mixed just right. Would return again in the future when in Victoria, BC.

After ordering well before the guests at the next table, I finally received my food only after they had finished and left. Even after waiting 40 minutes, the food arrived undercooked. When I raised a complaint, the staff seemed annoyed and mentioned that I d ordered a complicated dish during a busy time. They even said they didn t care about the review rating, so I m sharing my experience here. This restaurant must have a lot of confidence in their food. I d like to give them high praise for that.

I just ordered via Uber Eats and there was literally mold growing on the lettuce... Im the opposite of prudish but come on man... that is just nasty. Looking at other reviews, I cant say Im surprised unfortunately. I still have all the food... Ill keep it in the fridge for a few days. I would really like the return it for a full refund please. I tried calling your store a few times but the line was busy. Please contact me (I left you a voicemail). **update** Restaurant has chosen not to respond to this review or my voicemail - I guess that says it all.

The service from the bespectacled female staff was downright atrocious. She completely ignored our orders and had the audacity to be rude when she snatched the menu back from us. No matter how good the food was, I refuse to return because of her disgraceful attitude. The male server was the only decent thing about this place. I made sure to warn my colleague against going there. You should be aware that shes driving customers away. Frankly, you dont deserve any tips with staff like that. Why on earth are you automatically adding a 15% tip? Your service doesnt deserve a tip at all.

Absolutely horrible service, the server and bartender were extremely impolite and very impatient. Our simple requests were made into some big deal, and the bartender even sighed at us and slammed the table for no good reason. What a terrible staff. Avoid!

Green Leaf has always held a special place in my heart as my go-to Vietnamese restaurant.

I used to love this place, they had a killer Vietnamese hot and sour soup, it was pretty much the one thing I would go in there for, and now its gone, I got the Thai and was pretty disappointed, they told me it was basically the same and it definitely wasnt. Also their chili oil isnt gluten free anymore? Anyways the amount of cabbage in the soup was gross, and I had four prawns and a few pieces of chicken cause I subbed that because I didnt want the other seafood options ... The only thing I was happy about was the lady ran my water bottle I had forgotten out to me

I recently dined at Green Leaf Vietnamese Bistro and had an absolutely fantastic experience. I particularly enjoyed their Pho and Thai sweet and sour soup; both were bursting with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. Whats even better is that the prices are reasonable, making it a great value for the quality of food you receive. I highly recommend Green Leaf to anyone looking for delicious Vietnamese cuisine at an affordable price.

Pho is pretty good, and the portions are big. Regular pho is good enough for me if I am not starving and the vermicelli bowl was more than enough for my girlfriend. However, I ordered the Tri-colour bean drink and the waitress never brought it. When I finished my food and asked, they said they will look into it. So after maybe 5 mins of me waiting, I got impatient and asked again, upon which I was told they are defrosting the beans and going to start making it soon. I understand there might be mistakes but I wished they were transparent when I asked and came back to ask me if I still wanted it before defrosting the beans and taking more time to make it. The vermicelli dish is also ok, it wasn t as good as some other ones I had.

This has been my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Victoria for many years. Its always packed with people, due to its consistent popularity and wonderful food. All the meat is flame grilled so it has a great flavour. My personal favorite are the Vermicelli bowls, which are the best in the city. Also, their service is very fast, so its a good place to go if you are short on time. Overall Id strongly recommend Green Leaf Bistro.

First time trying Vietnamese food. I had the Stir Fried Ginger Chicken (#57). It was wonderful. I loved the thinly sliced chicken. It was super tasty. Everything was cooked perfectly with a little spice but not too much.

February 23, 2024

Lemongrass chicken tasted nothing like lemongrass, taste more like ketchup marinade. Pork spring rolls were mushy inside, filler-ed with potato. Pho noodles were undercooked as well as the tendon Service terrible, asked for sharing plates and server said with an annoyed undertone is that all

I ve ordered from this place multiple times but I have only ever visited the restaurant twice, today being the second time. No doubt the food is excellent and always good quality. I pretty much get the same thing every time but today, I went with my partner and the host or I guess she is the owner (not sure) is super rude. She seems uninterested is tending to the customers and only 1 waitress seems to be running around. Overall, I would get the food again but did not expect such a behaviour for dine in.

January 23, 2024

There was a piece of plastic bag in my Pho soup bowl. Things happen. I wanted to let it go, but the attitude of the lady (seemed to be the owner) upset me the most. She didnt even say sorry or anything at all when I brought this to her attention. The waiter then brought me a new one and didnt say sorry either. Nobody bothered to check on us after that. When my friend was at the counter making the payment, the lady interrupted to complain the waiter for not bringing something to another table. So rude! We still tipped because we didnt want the waiters working on holidays without tips. Poor service and unpleasant experience overall.

This is my parents first time coming to the United States and we are traveling together. They say its the best pho in Victoria, so I went to this place right after getting off the ferry and waiting for it to open. The food wasnt bad, but I experienced the worst service of my life. There were 6 of us, but they only brought us two forks, so we had to ask for chopsticks again (one by one). I could understand this part. The most outrageous thing was that, without prior understanding, the food bowls of 6 people were removed in the order in which they were eaten. The husband who ate first didnt have chopsticks so he couldnt eat the other menu items. For the first one or two plates, I thought it might be possible. But I didnt know how to keep doing that. The hall wasnt that crowded. Service can be subjective, so I dont leave negative reviews, but this is a place I never want to go to again, and a service I never want to experience again. If I were to be specific in case it could cause harm to all servers... This is a review about someone who has a good physique and wears an Apple Watch with heavy makeup.

I ve tried quite a few Vietnamese pho places in the area and I ve been to Vietnam and eaten quite a lot there this is the top place I ve found so far! The broth for the soup is rich and flavourful and not too salty. I find many pho places have a pretty basic and overly salty broth that doesn t have that specific, rich quality to it. They also give plenty of basil and sprouts and the service is so quick! They got me in and out on my lunch break at work. :)

Be very aware that they will not give you a bill and automatically charge you 15% tip. No option on keypad was given. Yes, they add 15% WITHOUT YOUR CONCENT and as you do not see the bill you may not be aware of this theft. The service was absolutely horrible. Food arrived scattered by at least 10 minutes. Had to borderline yell to get a waiter to come by. No glasses where offered. We have been there 3 times and rest assured that we will NEVER go back. 1 star is being extremely generous. Service was bad before but at least they didnt try to steel 15%

December 23, 2023

BEWARE of tip being automatically added to your bill!!!! Have tried this place a couple times. The food is just ok. Service is absolutely horrible. Had to ask to order drinks. Served pop in cans with no glasses, had to go to bar and ask for them as server was no where to be found. Had to hunt down the server to take our food order. Everyones meals (4 of us) were served at different times. 10 minutes between the first meal arriving and the fourth one. Never saw our server again. Had to ask for our bills. Came to the table without bills, just a tablet and informed us that a 15% tip was added to our bill. Are you kidding me!!! 15% for what???? Dont get me wrong I always tip for good service. Will not be coming back to this place!!!

This place used to be amazing and our go-to for noodle soup. But today we just had the worst meal and horrible service. Our noodle soup orders were wrong. Then when they arrived, it tasted watered-down. There was zero flavour. Our Vietnamese coffee s never made it to the table.

Good food Yet watch out delivery...no double bags, no cardboard support which caused a large order to fall apart. Some staff great others could not care less. I will never tip on delivery again

The best pho and vermicelli. Pho broth is flavourful and not overly salty; you can taste the cloves and star of anise which I dont find often. The spring rolls were fab. Will come back next time Im in the area.

Excellent pho! My wife is Thai and VERY picky on pho, and she loves it! Lots of meat in the soup too!

I would not recommend the downtown Victoria location. The place was not clean and I got food poisoning after eating there.

Huge portions, delicious food, amazing service. We were visiting in town and decided to try this place out because we were crazing Vietnamese food and it had good reviews. Would highly recommend!! We got the chicken wings, chicken combo rice, pho noodles and salad rolls - they all hit the spot. The waitress was very attentive and nice - she brought over some candy when our toddler was having a tantrum! 60 golden seconds of distraction.

This place is so good we went everyday during our trip to Victoria. Must try the crab and shrimp pho and lemongrass chicken on rice!

December 23, 2022

We went here to have lunch today. A woman server is very rude. I have never met a server like her. She spoke in a very low voice and we couldnt hear her very well because of the plastic board. When we asked her back she, her attitude was very rude and glared at me. I will never go back to a restaurant with such a horrible server.

Been here several times; the place is quiet and cozy, with very polite, efficient staff and delicious food. Last time I was here, I had the sugarcane shrimp and spring roll vermicelli and felt it was the best dish I have had there so far! Thank you for the pleasant experience :)

Came to this place before catching the ferry back to Vancouver. Came for the food, stayed for the wonderful service. Von was so attentive and such a joy to be around! Made our already bright & sunny day even brighter. Food was superb as well; We both got the veggie vermicelli with spring rolls, and the spring rolls were so delish! We both left so so happy, and would definitely come back again.(PS. their chilli oil is spiiiiiicy! But so good ;)). Thanks Von for the best end to a trip to Victoria! Will be back for more chilli oil, vermicelli, spring rolls, and laughter. Literally almost missed the ferry because we stayed 10 min too late lol.

Best Vietnamese res in Victoria. I got myself a bowl of Vegetarian Spring Rolls Vermicili Bowl and it was really great. Nice view, tidy and super clean.

Awful experience for visitors to stop by. We came around 7:30pm been told they already closed. I said the Google map shows you guys close at 8pm, but I been told since Covid they started to close early. No matter how good you guys are, won t come again. CHANGE YOUR GOOGLE MAP OPENING HOURS

December 23, 2022

I dont even wanna rate 1 STAR but I have to. The google map said open hour is till 8pm, and we arrived their at 7:30pm. They told me we closed since I didnt even step into the door. Definitely NOT recommended.

December 23, 2022

Restaurant hour is not accurate they close at 7pm instead of 8pm due to covid.

Delicious little Vietnamese Cafe in a perfect location. The 19 and 25 are particular favourites, along with the pork sausage salad rolls. I also love the vermicelli bowls! 45 is fantastic if youre not feeling like having a broth day.

Bad experience. So I called to-go but the server thought that I was ordering to go. When the food is already packed, I told her that I m sitting for dine-in, and she didn t even put the food in a bowl or plate, and threw the food at our face like treating a dog. The server was having a bad attitude while serving me and my mom as well. I wouldn t recommend anyone to come here, the service is horrible and food is bad.

Our family went to Green Leaf yesterday and the service was horrible. The waiter (wear black framed glasses) was very rude. We raised our hands multiple times and he would not look at us and come to take our orders even though we were literally right in front of him. When we finally got his attention, he came to us and said what do you want in a impolite tone, and made us very uncomfortable. When we got our food we realized he got our orders wrong. The experience was both unpleasant and unwarranted. We used to come to this restaurant occasionally but now I dont think its on our list anymore. The food was ok though hence the 2 star.

A solid Vietnamese food experience. Very quick service and decent quality food. Been going here since they opened ~12 years ago. Not surprisingly, price has risen significantly over this time frame as has happened elsewhere. Im not seeing the value as much with many of the items crossing the $17 price tag with tax.. but this place is great for the consistency in food quality and rapid noonhour service.

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 will be back.
