We have been here many times since we like to support local business in Langford; however, today is the last time. We were here about three months ago, the service was not great and the Ph was ok. Today, we thought we would give it one more try. Slow is not the adjective I would describe their service, it’s more like poor. Two tables that came in after us got served before us and another wait staff decided to clean a table instead of taking our order. There was a total of 4 tables (including us) in the restaurant, so not super busy. Both my boyfriend and I are decent cooks; however, we love to dine out at least once a week to a restaurant because we are willing to pay for a good meal, our food served and not having to clean up. We just left because we couldn’t get service and there are better Ph restaurant in downtown Victoria. If you are looking for a self-serve restaurant, meaning you have to track a wait staff to make an order then this is the place for you. The Green Leaf Bistro has gone downhill.
snobby service / where are the smiles at? / never ever seen this type of rude, unprofessional, b*tchy service in my life – the young girl rolled her eyes when we asked nicely for the bill – (that’s how you acknowledge Customers? WTF we do to you , we gave you a goddamn business!) No need to support this kind of vibe that showed to your face that they don’t need our businessdecent Food for the area That’s why i gave it 1.5 and not 1.family friendlylots of parkingoverpriced for quality and quantityif I had to choose 1 dish: #34 banh tam biwould i go back? Definitely never
I paid to eat noodle soup, not hair soup! That’s disgusting! Foods were below average Vietnamese foods but service had too much attitude. Shame on you!
Decent Vietnamese food for Langford. Partner really enjoyed the pho. Satisfying on a chilly evening. There’s a small section of vegetarian options (unfortunately no pho) so ordered the vegetable vermicelli with spring rolls that were a rather mushy minced texture. Will try the salad rolls next time… friendly helpful service. Very busy especially with takeout.Update** visited again to try new dishes and the meal was good. Ordered the grilled pork vermicelli and meat was cooked perfectly with a nice smoky flamed flavour (they seem to do meat well), and the tofu and veggies with egg noodles is a vegetarian dish that I’d recommend (although second time I ordered it, it was heavier on the soy sauce…). Again, restaurant was bustling on a Sunday evening with people coming and going. Restaurant itself may not seem all that busy but lots of orders are pick-up so service is steady – if you need a server just flag someone down. Keep in mind it’s a family run business. Space could do with a little touch-up and tlc including fixing up the huge under-utilized deck out front that would be great for customers to enjoy. We found service to be okay and price-to-portion very reasonable. Note* Westshore menu bit different than downtown location
Green Leaf Bistro provided an adequate dining experience with fairly standard quality pho. They do something somewhat unique by having a dried garlicy garnish that I found to be an interesting variation. The pho broth and noodle quality were average, the provided thai basil and bean sprouts were nice and fresh. While the experience was not incredibly memorable, I cannot fault them on anything in particular. I would return but am unlikely to go out of my way to do so. Probably the same goes for whether I’d recommend the place to friends – other Vietnamese restaurants would likely have a higher priority on my list. I would be interested in trying other food here someday though.
My go-to for Vietnamese food anywhere… I always go for the rice plates and they’re tasty. Quality meat in comparison to anywhere else and it’s render and cooked perfectly. My only complaint is the spring rolls I normally like to get at other joints for an appy. The are minced something and the texture is terrible. I reccomend green leaf but not the spring rolls
Had to move the other day. New place didn’t have a stove yet. Decided to try this place on the whim of a friend. Might have to delete my ‘Noodlebox Review’. I got take out again, (I know, never do that the first time at a new eatery), and the food was wonderful! Fresh, flavourful, colourful and believe it or not, there was even some nice presentation going on inside the styro clamshell! If you want fast, tasty, healthy food instead of shit take out go here.Only whine factor is no website, only FB and you can’t read the photo of the menu, Its 2016, everyone has an app, and they don’t even have a way to pre-order for take out. Tsk tsk.
