My brother's recommendation when I asked him for the best pho spot in Alameda since my favorite - Pho King, was closed. I came here on MLK and the waitress was pretty nice. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet ($15.95) and it wasn't bad. The broth was adequate, not too savory or tasteful, or where you would need to drink a lot of water. It has sufficient meat portions and I liked their selection of meats. The portions were decent as well. I don't think they are too attentive as it seems they're always working on something; I had to grab my own chopsticks and napkin, but once you have their attention, they are very kind. One of waitresses really went out of her way for me when I packing up my leftovers; She offered to pack things up for me.Would come back!

First time going to Mint Leaf! There was no wait on a Sunday afternoon. There were two staff members helping with tables. Seating is available inside and outside. I ordered the rice plate and was not disappointed. The rice itself wasn't broken, but it was roughly $16.50. Their beef and pork are both good options. My table of three received our food within 15 minutes. There is one restroom and it was clean. There is plenty of parking and the inside of the restaurant was clean too. I'd go again.

We've been here at least 4 times and we always come for their bahn mi sandwiches. The service is always great and the servers are very attentive. Food comes fast. The bahn mi combo plate comes with your choice of salad or a bowl of broth (chicken, beef or veggie option) and an imperial roll (meat or veggie option). I ordered the tofu bahn mi and my partner ordered the miso slaw sandwich w/ coconut prawns with a side of sweet potato fries. Everything is delicious and full of flavors. The broth is lovey and pairs well with the sandwich and egg roll. The miso slaw with coconut prawns is something you've never had before. It goes well with the sweet potatoes fries w/ house curry aioli dip. We've also had their vermicelli bowl and the eggplant and tofu claypot as well in the past. The food is always good and the staff are super friendly. It's one of our go to's.

I've ordered from this restaurant a few times now, never disappointing and always filling. Usually get 2 + meals out of an order when ordering for myself.My favorite would be the ginger lemonade, tastes made from scratch or at least there seems to be a lot of fresh ginger soaked into it without a bunch of ginger tidbits floating around and getting in the way.Veggie broth has a good flavor and love getting a batch too good for my own noodles at home, so maybe I get 3 meals out of an order! Veggie egg rolls are good as well and come packed with lots of additional veggie sides, fantastic snack. Steamed broccoli and bok choy are great solo out added to a soup. The garlic noodles were probably my least favorite. There was a lot of added stuff to it which made it more like a garlic chow mein than a straight up garlic noodles to my taste buds. Wouldn't order that one again without changes.All in all there is something for everyone on the menu and you can get creative if you think ahead for a few meals as well or combine things in from your pantry!

Usually I'm a foodie photographer but today, the food was grabbed by the kids too fast. Their rolls are so good. Love the different options they have for picky eaters and vegan options. We even have a peanut allergy and they made sure it was safe. Everything was so good. They were consistently busy even after 2pm!

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

We went to the Mint Leaf because of its ease of parking, distance from home and congenial staff. We just didn't want to be SOL on the parking. He ordered won ton soup, I ordered the Imperial Roll and we were both happy with what we ate. Motivated by parking frustration we give it high marks. When I discovered the Mint Leaf Roll it was then I got very excited that I could eat a salad that was rolled up in a very good way. I like that one because it has no noodle in it. It's just the jicama, the carrot and papaya all raw and some beef. I like their veggie broth too. I also like sitting outside on warm days. They have tables in front of the shop.

I like how thy have indoor and out door seating . The inside has enough tables to serve the hungry lunch rush - although it's a bit outdated - but the food conquers all ! Over all I would recommend ! Oh did I mention too. Thai iced tea is so good

I feel like this restaurant is a tucked away gem. We came little bit before closing for dinner service, but the waitress was so kind and didn't give off the vibe like we were an inconvenience. She accommodated us to sit outside and was very attentive right until the end.The spring rolls we had were bright and delicious. Crispy pork rolls were piping hot and worked well with the salty/sweet dipping sauce it came with. Shaking beef was super tender, but my only wish is that it had some texture or caramelization. Green beans were a perfect addition to go with the beef and hot white rice. A surprising find was the garlic sweet potato fries. Maybe I was missing more of the garlic, but it seemed like a regular plate of sweet potato fries. The dipping sauce was creamy, had a hint of curry, and was full of flavor. I am interested to try more of the dishes another time. The service alone was enough for me to come back again.
