If I'm in the area briefly, I'll grab a banh mi to go and it takes everything in me not to break that open on my way home! Dining in is great too. It's never hurried or loud, just comfortable. Favorite banh mi for me is the special combo, but seriously, they're all good! Same with the vermicelli bowls. Honestly, there is nothing I wouldn't order again at Xinh Xinh.

Without the sauce the spring roll tastes quite bland like how it should usually be. Steak and mestballs: the steak is VERY tender and the meatballs tastes really nice like a soft pillow with a meaty flavor. The noodles are well made and compliment the entire pho really well as the main idea. The soup is also quite exquisite being such a tasty broth that sinks into every aspect of the dish. The service was quick and amazing. The look of the place wasnt too fancy but that's all right for a local shop.

Greetings! Once…read moreagain it's time to tell you about a place you need to know about: Green Leaf Vietnamese Cuisine. I stopped in West Lafayette for dinner and Green Leaf got the nod as it had a solid reputation with Purdue University students (Boiler Up!). I wasn't planning on writing about Green Leaf, but after my first bite I knew I had a worthy contender to share if the meal continued to deliver. It did, so here we go! Tucked away on a quiet street is an unassuming entrance...you walk into a friendly wide open space with twenty foot or higher ceilings and the host invited us to sit at any of the twenty tables. Upon seating, our server, Will, approached and our experience was underway. Will immediately impressed me with his heart for service. He was attentive, informative, engaging, and diligent. We ordered fresh spring roll as a starter and our pho entrees. Will appeared with the spring rolls and sauce...sadly I cannot eat peanut so he brought me a sauce without peanut crumble. He explained that he made the sauce, cooks, serves, and manages Green Leaf. As my pictures show, one bite and I knew that Green Leaf was a local gem! Our pho was fantastic. We ordered a flank steak pho and a signature pho that included several meats, shrimp, and tripe. Both pho dishes came with generous portion of rice noodles, side veg to put in the pho, and plenty of broth. I later learned that the soup cooks for twenty hours...talk about flavor development. Bathrooms and general decor are serviceable, but should be as great as the food. A fresh coat of paint in places, a revisioning of how supplies are stored, and an overall look with eyes open will reveal where Green Leaf can make some strategic improvements. To me, the little things matter as much as the big things. The food is great, the space should be great, too! Green Leaf will get a return visit in the future...I loved my food, and I loved the heart that is put into the service and the recipes. Will: Keep up the great work with Green Leaf, your efforts and products will keep customers like me coming back again and again! Until next time...tk

There were just a few tables in use when we arrived around 6pm, so the staff sat us fairly quickly in the side dining room. Saving our calories for dinner, we ordered waters and proceeded to look over the menu, where the first thing we noticed were the prices, and hoped the portions were going to be huge! My son ordered a noodle dish, while I got the pork red curry. Before tip, our total was $40.02, which is definitely on the pricy end! In short order our food arrived. While it looked great and tasted very good, we were both disappointed at the modest portion sizes. As my son put it, "I cannot believe we spent $19 each on a meal that left me still feeling hungry afterwards." Likewise service felt pretty uneven, with only a few checks being made on us, and even fewer refills on our waters. PROS: nice presentation, very good taste CONS: pricy, meager portions, uneven wait staff service Overall, we found Thai Essence to be Good Enough, and would return.
