Mintleaf - Alameda

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.Food: 5/5

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.

The food is delicious, but it's a bit on the expensive side.

I visited this restaurant on a chilly evening and we decided to try their noodle soups. My husband opted for a vegetable noodle soup and thought it tasted like a typical veggie soup, with a decent amount of vegetables. It wasn't anything extraordinary, but he enjoyed it. I, on the other hand, ordered the Bun Rieu, a crab paste noodle soup, and absolutely loved it! This dish may not be to everyone's liking due to its fermented taste, but it's something I would definitely return for. The service was good and the best part was that there was plenty of parking available.

First time trying this place and glad I did. What a great find. Really delicious Vietnamese food. My only complaint is it's a bit pricy for the small portions you get. What we ordered: Shaking beef tender and flavorful with lots of onions. Slightly pink on the inside, which is how I like it. Pineapple curry fried rice didn't taste any curry flavor, but still really yummy pineapple fried rice. Vegetarian egg rolls yummy but they only gave us 1 piece of lettuce. The side of cold vermicelli was a nice touch. Prawn and scallop garlic noodles really good garlic noodles. Kinda small serving though.
