About this business

Among the myriad tastes and aromas of Chinatown in Seattle, one can find a small eating place called Green Leaf, offering Vietnamese cuisine to more people than it can possibly seat. Word-of-mouth publicity is what brings new patrons here and the mouth-watering fare is what brings old patrons back again. Seafood, meat, vegetables and soups in the distinct Vietnamese culinary tradition are on offer. Prices are reasonable and portions sizable. It is advisable to reach early to get seats in time.

Wow! This Place Lives Up To The Hype. – The word about this place has been out for awhile now, being mentioned in publications like Bon Appetite, Food And Wine, Zagats and even The Food Network. Authentically prepared Vietnamese cuisine made with Love and the freshest ingredients possible. Generally healthy and also easy on your pocketbook, what's not to like? You will wait and it is cramped inside once you are seated, but you'll forget all of that once your food arrives. Standards such as vermicelli bowls, pho and egg noodl... read more

Num Num! – Being that I am Vietnamese and love authentic home cooked Vietnamese food, Green Leaf hits the spot! There are your typical dishes, pho, rice dishes, chicken, and beef. However I highly recommend the Bahn Xeo (Bahn Sow). You can find it under the appetizer section of the menu. You can actually make a meal out of it They describe it as a Vietnamese pancake, but crepe would be more accurate. It is a thin yellow crepe that has bean spouts and meat inside. You can get one or two! I suggest two if you are on the hungry... read more

Pretty good food but lacking in service – After reading the great reviews and hearing from friends that this was the "best vietnamese in town," a few of us went last night and here's why this restaurant is only getting three stars: *We were totally prepared to wait in line for awhile and did. However, the staff split a four-top in front of our eyes to let two parties of two skip in front of us while we waited another 20 or so minutes. *the food was great, but they brought the wrong roll for one of our orders (I had the chick... read more

Best Vietnamese in town – I've eaten at a lot of Vietnamese places in Seattle and in California--it's my favorite cuisine--and this is hands down the best I've had. I've probably been here 30 times now. It's far and away fresher and more interesting than your average place. Definitely get the fresh shrimp spring rolls-they have a crunchy center that's out of this world. The vermicelli bowls, the mango and papaya salads, the duck salad, the bahn xeo (crepe) and the fried flour cakes are all outstanding. There's usually a line... read more

Best pho around – Nice setting and food presentation. Being a hole in the wall its easily crowded. But the it's worth it. The food is great and the workers and very friendly. Always treat you nicely with great sevice. The food is the best around.

This popular Vietnamese spot in the center of the ID supplies terrific value for a quick weekday lunch or adventurous dinner. – The Scene Snug and often crowded, there's not much privacy on offer at this bustling International District restaurant. The décor is a step up from the average pho joint, but is still casual enough that it's not embarrassing to show up in workout clothes. Heavy ceramic bowls add welcome elegance, but bumping elbows with the next table happens frequently during lunch and dinner rushes. Multi-lingual ... read more

Not fair to customers – Bad Service not fair to customers, We waiting for 40 minutes outside of the Green Leaf and another group came after us more than 30 minutes and they get seat before us... I will never go to this Green Leaf.

Great, inexpensive Vietnamese food delivered with impeccable service! – In the land of poor, awful service, Green Leaf reigns supreme! And while the service is impeccable, the food is even better. I must add one caveat: I have only ordered the pho. However, if the rest of the menu is anything like the pho ? and I would bet dollars to donuts it is ? then don?t miss eating at Green Leaf. This place is one to try!
