Very good food, nice portions, can't stop eating the beef salad, the soup was tasty, the staff are very nice too. Would go back when in town for sure!!
My favourite is the hot and sour soup flavoured with tamarind, chunks of tomato and pineapple. Its mouth watering.
Price is slightly high but the portions are large.
Definitely a good choice when you are in the area.
Spicy sour thai soup was amazing. Highly recommended. Spring rolls were good. My family also enjoyed their Pho and SpicyBeef soup. This is a good restaurant
Great lunch experience! This place was on the busy side but service was great. I started with a pork and jicama rice roll which was very filling and a great balance of cards, meat and veggies. The peanut sauce though was a little too sweet and watery to my liking. I had a vermicelli plate with spring rolls, pork and chicken. Each of the components was excellent: Flavorful and In generous and balanced proportions. Overall, Great experience at Green Leaf!
Green leaf bistro is my FAVE vietnamese restaurant, so far at least! Salad rolls was filled with tofu, vermicelli, carrots, cucumber, and lettuce and served with peanut sauce with peanuts on top= DELICIOUS. My entree I ordered was vermicelli with spring rolls and veggie. So glad I had because the balance of fresh vermicelli noodles and deep fried spring rolls was harmonic! the spring rolls were crunchier than the usual spring rolls because green leaf bistro put an extra or two spring roll skin to create the extra crunch (as I was answered by a staff member when I inquired how they made the spring rolls) also the spring had taro in it which made the spring roll softer compared to the usual carrot, cabbage, vermicelli spring roll. The tea they served was lip smacking also
Their food is delicious, especially the spring rolls, salad rolls, and vermicelli dishes. They also bring out your food very quickly. The only problem is the service. They dont check up on you often, but isnt a big deal if you dont mind flagging down the waiters.
Good Service Despite How Busy They Are. Green Leaf Bistro is one of my favorite restaurants in Victoria. Aside from the food always tasting delicious, the staff never disappoints me even when I expect them to because of how busy the restaurant is.
Even though they have a limited service staff, they always are able to refill my tea/water at least once no matter how packed the restaurant is. The service staff is well trained, efficient, and friendly. I never have a bad experience when I go there and would recommend people who love Vietnamese food to give it a try.
GET THE PANCAKE. All I can say is get the pancake! It is SO GOOD and very satisfying. It is big enough to be shared, but I never want to share it, I eat the whole thing!
I have no idea what the spice is that they put into it, but it's savory and slightly sweet. The pork/sprouts and prawns add a delicious texture to the dish. I try to get other items on the menu, but I always end up with this, and when I don't get it I always wish I did ;-)
Service is alright. fried wantons were just okay. and their grilled pork chop with rice is pretty decent! as for beef pho, it was abit light, BUT didn't have that MSG taste to it :)
Overall a good Vietnamese restaurant! Almost as good as mainland's Pho 99
We like their spicy beef noodle, coconut udon with meats, grilled bbq quail and sometimes order the pancake/crepe. Definitely, big portion and tasty.
The best pho and vermicelli. Pho broth is flavourful and not overly salty; you can taste the cloves and star of anise which I don't find often. The spring rolls were fab. Will come back next time I'm in the area.
Vietnamese foods in here are wonderful. Big portion, price is reasonable, clean and they have a good service.
It will cost you around $20/person. If you wanna look for Vietnamese restaurant jn downtown, here is one of a place I recommend.
Huge portions, delicious food, amazing service. We were visiting in town and decided to try this place out because we were crazing Vietnamese food and it had good reviews. Would highly recommend!! We got the chicken wings, chicken combo rice, pho noodles and salad rolls - they all hit the spot. The waitress was very attentive and nice - she brought over some candy when our toddler was having a tantrum! 60 golden seconds of distraction.
Recommended by a friend. The food here really surprises me. No matter fried chicken wings, salad roll or beef pho, they are all tasty. The white wine they served is also good. Highly recommend! đź‘Ť
Really enjoyed the food there! Love the crunch in the salad roll, such a bonus and add on texture to already flavourful roll. Also the peanut sauce has a bit of chocolate taste in it. It is a bit sweet for me by I don’t mind it.
Green leaf’s fish sauce is so delicious! I don’t know how they make it, but I’m thinking of stealing there sauce recipe lol
Their pork chop is always the to go one! The best!
The beef salad flavour was good, but the beef was kinda overcooked, a little bit hard to chew. Besides that it was great!
Definitely gonna come back and try more stuff next time

Nice place, traditional food.
We ordered a family place, the fish. It was delicious but a bit too oily.
Servers are nice and polite.
Would recommend.
One of my favourite dining spots in downtown Victoria! An ideal spot for a quick, delicious meal. When I go for pho, I can reliably get in and out in 30 minutes or less (whilst eating at a leisurely rate).
The pho broth is extremely flavorful and the staff is nice and attentive. The Vietnamese hot and sour soup combo on the menu is excellent for a couple and is great for those looking to try something new -- it's tangy and fragrant in all the right ways.
That was delicious. I can't remember what number I ordered, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to become addicted to your fish sauce because I've been thinking about it ever since my last visit.
That chicken vermicelli noodle tastes amazing! I really liked the smoky flavor. Also, they give generous amount of meat inside pho. The waitress was also very lovely and generous to us. Overall it was a great experience here.
Came to this place before catching the ferry back to Vancouver. Came for the food, stayed for the wonderful service. Von was so attentive and such a joy to be around! Made our already bright & sunny day even brighter.
Food was superb as well; We both got the veggie vermicelli with spring rolls, and the spring rolls were so delish! We both left so so happy, and would definitely come back again.(PS. their chilli oil is spiiiiiicy! But so good ;)).
Thanks Von for the best end to a trip to Victoria! Will be back for more chilli oil, vermicelli, spring rolls, and laughter. Literally almost missed the ferry because we stayed 10 min too late lol.
