I’ve ordered here from Door Dash twice and decided to take my partner out on a date here. We’ve had their Chicken Pho, Bahn Mi sandwiches, and Lemon Grass Chicken. Each dish was phenomenal. We will be coming here again to eat very often!
Timely service and good food at a reasonable price point. Definitely a worthwhile restaurant for Vietnamese food.Dietary restrictions: Easy to find food that was dairy and gluten free

The food was delicious. I purchased a vegetable soup and my daughter had the filet mignon. My problems were their inability to find my online order and the food is expensive.

With a small indoor and about 4 tables outdoors, Mintleaf strikes a beautiful balance for pleasant dining. Service is prompt and friendly. Menu is focused, with strong traditional offerings couple with some nice house specials.First time there was a delight. Served quickly and everything came out perfectly. We had the Sizzling Beef platter, wanton pho and a chicken curry sweet potato clay pot. Add in some coconut rice to soak up the yummy sauces and the meal was a hit!Located in a strip mall, you'll likely never want for parking. (Plus, there's a bobba so next door!). I'll be going again when the family wants delicious food.Vegetarian options: Many options on the menu to choose from our speak with the staff to customize.Kid-friendliness: The staff are very cool with families here. Saw kids ranting from babies and toddlers up through pre teens.

Our neighbor told us to try out Mint Leaf for their Bahn Mi a while back but haven't gotten the chance.I got sick recently and was craving a warm bowl of pho noodle soup to open up my sinuses. The broth really hit the spot. My boyfriend love their combo pho with 3 kinds of meat. IMO, the chicken in my pho was over cooked: boiled, steamed, or whatever and it tasted a bit hard.We sat outside to get fresh air and keep our distance from others and a wasp was coming around our table and the others so that was scary. The ambiance inside was okay and outside was clean. Servers here were very attentive. We got like 8 check-ins by different servers within the hour we were there.I still would recommend and would comeback myself to try out their other dishes that looked good on Yelp like..Pad Thai Shrimp & Tofu, Garlic Noodles, Shaken Beef, Vermicelli or Broken Rice Bowl with Shrimp & Egg Rolls, Cold Fresh Spring Rolls, or Crispy Pork Egg Rolls just to name a few.Combo Pho 5/5Chicken Pho 4.5/5

A day in the office means time to go out for lunch with fun coworkers! This was in the plaza next to the Lucky's in Alameda. You may miss it so be on the lookout for a very pink boba shop next to it. Had the Saigon Vermicelli Bowl "Duc Dac Biet" with beef. A lil' costly, but good portion and yummy! Easy and free parking, lots of menu items to choose from, and it will make you full.

They have cute little tables outside so you can sit and enjoy the nice
FYI, the tofu banh mi combo automatically comes with a meat spring roll. It's not listed that way on the menu and the restaurant refused to replace the meat roll with a vegetarian one once I took a bite and found out, since it had a bite taken out of it already, as if there was any other way to find out. They blamed me for not ordering an additional vegetarian one even though nothing on the menu indicates that vegetarians need to make a special request. They said they shouldn't need to say anything on the takeout order menu about it either, since not all people who eat tofu are vegetarian. Really disappointing. I love the banh mi but hate how I was just responded to when it was their lack of clear information that resulted in me eating meat when I can't do that, and the fact that they wouldn't replace it or refund me the portion I paid for a food I can't eat was really poor treatment.

Mint leaf is one of my favorites on the island. I’ve tried a couple of meals from the pho to the bahn mi and rice plates and everything was really good. Staff are always super nice and helpful.

This is one of my favorite places to go for lunch. The food and service are consistently good. I especially enjoy the papaya salad with shrimp.

Came here one cold night and we ordered their noodle soups. My husband ordered a veggie noodle soup and he says it taste exactly as you would imagine in a veggie noodle soup. I guess nothing too spectacular but he did say, they loaded it with a descent amount of veggies. I on the other hand ordered the Bun Rieu, crab paste? noodle soup. Loved it! This noodle soup may not be for everyone as it has the fermented smell & taste. This is a dish that I will be back for. Service was good & best part, there was ample parking.
Food is average. Affordable
