Green Leaf Vietnamese Cuisine

16a Pho with Flank
Boba
Dry Rice Noodle (can't remember which)

- Terrible pho. Incredibly flavorless. the soup tastes like it came from a can. Such a shame because if they had good pho, their business would be booming because the weather here is cold more than half of the school year.
- The bubble tea bubbles have always been too squishy, like they are disintegrating.
- The rice noodle was pretty good though, but I judge Vietnamese restaurants based on their phos, after all it is their national dish

However for $6.94 It isn't too terrible.

p.s. Syngin A. must not have gone to Argyle street (the only truly Vietnamese area out of all the rest in Chinatown. Really? pho in Chinatown? You must be dreaming) as Green Leaf's pho is by far the worst I have had ever in my entire life. By a considerable measure to boot.

Amazing pho and bubble teas.  I can't review anything else because i have only gotten pho and bubble tea every time I have been here, however, they do have a large selection of types of pho along with many other things on the menu.  Very reasonably priced also with large servings.  Service can be slow at times because there is usually only 1 or 2 servers and the place is usually packed.

broth lacks the extra layer of depth I'm accustomed to at more traditional pho restaurants, as a result, seemed a little watered down. while the broth is better than the shelf-stable Pacific Natural Foods tetrapak found at the grocery store, I expected more. when you're the only game in town, not subject to the pressures of competition, quality tends to decrease.

I was surprised the traditional accoutrements lacked the basil sprig, bean sprouts were starting to brown, cilantro was limp, jalapeno slices were plentiful and spicy hot (no complains there).

vegetable dumplings were smallish, deep-fried and largely tasteless save for the sauce on the side which barely saved the dish.

Service was excellent. There was a $1 off offer for checking in on Facebook.
