Food was good, both in amount and taste. I really love their curry tofu spring rolls. Service was pretty quick and the restaurant has lots of windows so it had good lighting.

food:3/5: the pho was okay. I thought the noodles were fine and the broth wasn't super rich so I wasn't very impressed. I did go during the afternoon when they weren't as busy so I'm not sure if it wasn't as fresh. The beef ball and the steak for the pho was okay was well.5/5: the mint lychee smoothie is really good and refreshing. service:the service was okay. nothing spectacular, but not bad.ambiance: very casual vibes. good for a quick lunch.

An absolute gem in the heart of corporate buildings and a bougie grocery store (Berkeley Bowl) nearby. It's been awhile since I stopped by Mint Leaf for some lunch, and boy did I miss their spring rolls so bad. I'm an SJ foodie, which means that I've had my fair share of Việt food back home. There's no place that I've visited near home that sells spring rolls as well as Mint Leaf does! It's unique, fun, and so tasty! Whose ingenious idea was it to incorporate a crispy tempura shrimp in the center of a spring roll and pay homage to California'a wild obsession of avocados by incorporating them into the rolls themselves?! I usually feel healthy eating spring rolls, but the rolls at Mint Leaf gave me a mix of healthy and indulgent with the crispy tempura shrimp edge and abundant leafy green lettuce and avocado in their spring rolls! I had dined at their Oakland branch (also just as tasty and please say hi to Tony for me) when I was barely starting middle school. It's wonderful to know that this mom n' pop shop survived the pandemic, especially during these rough economic times. Their garlic noodles with scallop and shrimp is still as good as ever. All the shrimps were gigantic and the scallops were plump and juicy. My partner had their paella claypot and really enjoyed it! I unfortunately did not sample, so I will leave it to him to review that dish heh. We also shared a side of crispy egg rolls and a nice basket of sweet potato fries with a curry dip! Overall, service was superb and all workers were kind and courteous. The atmosphere in the restaurant was also very calm and the space felt so open and free with all the natural lighting from the big windows. If anything, I wished my workplace was nearby. This is a great place to grab a bite with a coworker~ Berkeley Bowl is next door too, so you can also shop for dinner after eating here. 10/10 recommend~ I can't wait to return to Mint Leaf again!

Tried this location when I was in the neighborhood and hungry for lunch. I've gone to the Alameda location a number of times. This place was good. Busy on a weekday at lunchtime but still with a couple tables available. I was alone and happy to get a window table. Menu is good and varied. Service was good, except for one issue -- I asked to make sure what I was ordering was vegetarian (it seemed it from the menu), and the lady said yes. Then she asked if I was vegan and I said no, and she started to leave. But I said wait, what isn't vegan? I'm so glad I asked. She said it was made with oyster sauce. Well, in my book, a sauce made out of a dead animal is definitely not vegetarian. So I specified that I wanted it vegan, because apparently that is the way to not get oyster sauce (i.e., make it really vegetarian). This is a shame, because usually restaurants in the bay area understand what the difference is between vegetarian and vegan, and actually vegetarian vs. just not having meat in it. Ok, that's the end of my rant.That made me a little uncomfortable, but the food was great, it came pretty fast, and I overall had a good experience and would go back. But I'd be very careful about ingredients.

I've eaten at Mint Leaf about 20 times and the food is consistently delicious. The dish I wouldn't mind having as my last good meal on this earth is their eggplant & tofu clay pot with coconut rice. Full of flavor and so comforting, I would kiss the feet of the person who conceived this recipe. In the summer, I love to delight in their watermelon and jalapeño drink. The service is good too.

Nina and I met again today at Mint Leaf. We knew we wanted to order the garlic noodles w/ shrimp and scallops again because it had been so good. The second dish was open for discussion. We discussed the green papaya salad, which we hadn't had here. Then Nina saw the mussels appetizer and since we love mussels we agreed to try that. We ordered both dishes and each ordered the ginger lemonade, which we both adored last time. Our tastes align in so many ways that we know if one likes it the other probably will too.The mussels came out first. We tried them and were completely disappointed. They were overcooked and tough. Fortunately the portion was relatively small because it was an appetizer. One wasn't open and several had broken shells. Particularly since the last mussels we had had at Rendez-Vous a few weeks ago had been so stellar, this was a disappointment. Happily the garlic noodles were excellent and redeemed the meal and comforted our palates, as did the the ginger lemonade. So we will return, but we certainly won't order those mussels.

One of the better bun me sandwiches we've had in the Bay Area. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes as well. Highly recommend!

Love coming here after the climbing gym which is right next door! The service is fast and the food is delicious! Lots of vegetarian options and meat options as well. I love the pork plate with egg roll, rice and salad. A well rounded meal that keeps me full. I also love the prawn sandwich, it comes with sweet potato fries and a delicious curry sauce. Highly recommend these two dishes. Their banh mi is also really delicious. There is usually not too many people and so you come, get seated and are you on your way quickly!
