    Beef stew with bread (banh mi bị kho)
    My D.

    Ample parking and tables available. Service is quick. Food: - Beef Stew (3/5): more of a broth than a stew, did not hit the spot. - Shrimp rolls (5/5): can't go wrong - Pho Dat Biet (4/5): comforting, but not the best I ever had

    Tofu vermicelli bowl
    Kathy N.

    It was our first time here and upon sitting down at our table, we noticed that there were a lot of regulars so we knew this was going to be a good place. It was nice to see that the host was also taking good care and regularly checking up on people. Now come to the food, we got the tofu pho, tofu vermicelli bowl, and tofu banh mi, all of which were excellent. Now the tofu pho is not vegetarian because they use chicken soup and I'm not sure if the fish sauce for the vermicelli bowl was vegetarian either. But everything tasted incredible and fresh. If it wasnt so far to us, we would have become regulars too!!

    It was my first time trying their garlic noodles with Korean-style short ribs (galbi), and it was delicious. The noodles were thick and chewy with a rich, garlicky, buttery flavor. The short ribs were excellent. They were perfectly seasoned and incredibly tender. I was initially worried that the galbi flavor might clash with the garlic noodles, but they paired surprisingly well. Everything was super yummy. The ambiance was pretty standard, though the restaurant itself was super cold inside (in the winter). On the plus side, the service was good and quick.

    Spring Roll
    Royce R.

    The handsome young man with the nice haircut is always SO FUNNY! When he takes our order he says, "Annnnd," after everything we choose and then he says how soon until quitting time. The broth is always so fresh and flavorful, the meat is juicy and tender and the noodles are perfect. The best peanut sauce in the East Bay, too! I'm coming back!

    Probably wont go back since we don't live in that area. Very mid food. Ok to meh service. Pretty small shop, inside tables and floor were sticky. Menu has a-lot going on. We got a Pho, Seafood soup, Egg rolls and Shrimp spring roll. The broth wasn't warm. Little to no protein in both soup noodle. Flavors were bland. The part that got us was how the man who worked there, just ignored us from the time we walked in. Bad vibes if you know what I mean. Private lot in front though

    Bread to chicken ratio is way off. Sandwich had lil to no mayonnaise. So it was quite dry! Bread was crunchy and good.
    Evette S.

    Ordered the Vietnamese sandwich. The bread was of good quality. The only problem was there was too much bread to chicken ratio. Lil to no mayonnaise only added to the dryness of the sandwich. The flavor was lacking and there are inconsistencies in the cut of the vegetables. I recently had an excellent bahn mi on the other side of town so this was a huge disappointment. Another thing...I checked the reviews and online the sandwiches were marked $3/less. So I was surprised when he gave me the total for the bill. I don't think I'll be back. I'd rather drive to the other side of town and be happy/satisfied.

    Great family ran spot that has a hearty bun rieu! There's plenty of seats on the outside and inside. Owner is really friendly and service is quick. Spring rolls were very fresh and the crunch made it even better. The bun rieu is probably one of the most flavorful ones I've had and you can really taste the crab which i appreciated. Would come back to try the other dishes!

    There's a small parking lot, which is convenient. The staff was very friendly with quick service. The inside is small, but the owner is very welcoming and creates a warm atmosphere. It looks like they get a lot of rgualrs and takeout orders here. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue and was disappointed that it came out lukewarm, which made it less enjoyable. Other than the temperature issue, everything was tasty. The broth had good flavor without being too spicy, and the portion size was solid. Overall, friendly service and good flavors, but I wish the soup had been served hot.

    Vermicelli
    Aly C.

    ===TL;DR=== - Spicy beef noodle soup w/ no greens - Vermicelli ===TMI=== Seems to be a neighborhood favorite as a lot of families were there when I went. Good spot for a quick fix. I notice a lot of folks also ordered takeout. Not the best BBH I've had but I'm curious to try their pho next time. They have good hot sauces tho!

    Fried chicken wings
    Eric S.

    Amazing taste of food here. The bbh was flavorful and a huge portion of it as well. Service was quick. We had the wings served first and the rest was great. The thai tea here was the best i had. I had to order another one to go!! This is one of the spot if you are ever in san leandro

    Beef pho
    Juicke C.

    Recently I had take out via Grubhub from this place. My order was fresh spring rolls with shrimps, shrimp and calamari salad, and beef rib pho. The food was amazing. The spring roll was fresh. I particularly enjoyed the shrimp and calamari (squid) salad, I found it unique with tangy and sweet sauce. Whereas the pho came with the short rib with bone. The broth was fresh and light. Overall, the food was amazing with the unique flavoring.

    Vietnamese coffee
    Nancy W.

    The food is so good! I normally don't drink Vietnamese coffee, but this place has the best Vietnamese coffee. I only get their coffee! Also, their Bun Rieu is to die for! It's like all the ingredients are homemade (freshly made). The owner cracks me up. He is super sweet and funny. This is definitely our family's go to place.

    Fried Fish Cake ( Cha Ca Chien ) (4 stars)
    Daniel C.

    Compared to the Tri-Valley, I think San Leandro has a larger and better selection of Vietnamese restaurants. We frequented Saigon House for lunch twice and both times the food was excellent. Service is quick and efficient, and there's plenty of seating inside and outside. Another plus is that they have two clean unisex bathrooms in the back next to the kitchen. I recommend: * Garlic noodles with grilled chicken - Sounds simple but this is true comfort food. Thin, chewy round noodles with tons of ginger-garlic-scallion flavors and some seriously juicy chicken meat. *Grilled pork over rice - The texture of the pork seems ground to me, so its more like a pork satay as compared to say, pork loin. If you want a chewier texture, get the pork chop instead. The flavor of the pork are a good balance of gingery and salty, and the soft texture makes the dish toddler friendly too. *I like how you can mix and match side items to add some more protein: grilled chicken, grilled pork, pork chop, Kalbi, or in our case, some crispy fish cakes with that sweet-sour dipping sauce. * For Pho, my wife liked #19 which has all the beefy items while leaving out the tripe and tendon. Plenty of parking in the shared parking lot. They also have a solid takeout business and can crank up large party trays of stuff for catering.

    What comes on the banh mi, does it just have meat and veggies?

    Pretty much. A little meat with veggies and sliced jalapeños on a bun. Unfortunately, I haven't tried the Saigon banh mi yet, so it could vary from what I'm used to.

It…read morestarted when they reduced the number of days they were open for business, citing staffing issues. Then, as much as we loved the banh mi, the banner and the sidewalk sign advertising them as a new lunch option last year seemed almost like they were really, really trying to pull in more people any way they could. Every time I walked past this place, it was either empty or there were one to two tables with guests at a time. So when the word finally broke a few days ago that the owners have sold the place and are closing, I felt really sad, but wasn't surprised. It's definitely the end of an era, and is one of those longtime San Leandro restaurants in this strip of E 14th that has a comforting, early 2000s vibe -- and is now gone, like so many before them. It's frustrating, especially because the likelihood of them possibly getting replaced by a chain or yet another taqueria or Chinese place is high (though they apparently don't know what will be moving in after them). Dropped by yesterday with my husband for a final lunch. He got the bun bo hue and I got the yellow curry stir fry and fried rice. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious, and the restaurant was nearly entirely full with people having their own last meals and saying their goodbyes to the owners. While the owner was incredibly nice, service was terrible. She was overworked, working the counter, packing up to-go orders, taking table orders, bringing out food, AND bussing tables alone. The party next to us was a little frustrated that she still hadn't come by to take their order and went to the counter to flag her down. I don't know how much longer Le Soleil would've remained viable if service has been like this for months. It's a sad situation, but I wish nothing but the best for the owners, especially if they decide to open another restaurant in the future.

The surrounding nuanced taste was a symphonic medley of carrots, quarter sectioned boiled eggs, coriander, green mango, dried shrimp, fried onions, peanuts & green mangos, 5 stars Worthy!

We were in the area and it has been years since we ate at the original one, probably since they first opened. So since its been so long, we thought we would stop in this newer location for a quick lunch on a Monday afternoon. They were fairly busy, but service was still great. We were greeted and seated right away. Our order was taken in a timely manner. We ordered the Oxtail pho, banh mi xiu mai, bot chien, and an avocado smoothie. Our food came out pretty quick minus the bot chien which the server said usually takes awhile. Oxtail pho was as good as we remember. Oxtail was fall off the bone, actually, all the meats in the pho were very tender, which we love. Banh mi xiu mai was all right. I felt like something was missing, but I can't figure out what it is. Flavor was there, but maybe too much egg for my liking or sauce was not thick enough. Overall, I would pass on this one. Bot chien is something I always get if I see it on the menu. I love mines crispy, and this was indeed crisppppy!!! I would get it again. Avocado smoothie was decent, I wish it were colder, but even after putting it in the fridge, it still never got cold. Strange. They offer a quite a few things for dine in customers. They have complimentary shrimp chips, che, pandan waffle, and even fruits. I guess that can make up for the expensive food. I wouldn't frequent going to Joe's, but I guess we don't have to avoid going there either. We can splurge for some good pho once in awhile.
