I went to this place a couple days ago I had their Beef pho here and its good the only thing is that I feel like they need to improve on is the pho broth and service. The pho broth seems like it needed more flavor and more fish sauce. And they did not give me a soup spoon until much later but other than that its a decent place to get a nice bowl of pho. And the Ambiance is so calming overall a 4/5

I ordered the yellow curry. The chicken was different from what I'm used to. It had all the tendon and chewy parts. It was bland. Also ordered a seafood noodle bowl. No flavor at all. Really disappointed. Maybe, order other plates instead of these.

Their food is delicious here. I tend to get the same thing each time, but their soups are very tasty and nutritious. The staff is friendly and attentive, and I enjoy it every time I go.

It's so refreshing to find a restaurant in Palo Alto that serves delicious food that's ample in size and reasonable in price. We had been wanting to try Lequy, and we finally had a chance a couple of weeks ago. We regret not going sooner! When we arrived on the Friday evening, the restaurant was bustling with families, young couples, and techies grabbing a bite to eat after work. The combination beef pho came with a lot of beef and noodies. The broth was beefy and rich and salted just right. The grilled shrimp and BBQ pork vermicelli was popping with flavor. The shrimp were huge and nicely seasoned. The seabass in the caramelized claypot dish was a generous piece of fish that was perfectly caramelized. All of the dishes were outstanding as were the drinks (young coconut and Vietnamese iced coffee). The food and prices were on par with the Vietnamese restaurants in the South Bay, meaning very delicious and reasonably priced, and the quality of the ingredients were superior. We eat Vietnamese a lot and we can say that this is the best restaurant between Menlo Park and Mountain View hands-down. We no longer have to battle traiffic to get to San Jose for our Vietnamese food fix. yay! The service was excellent. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, and the food arrived promptly, hot, and all at the same time. Needless to say, we'll be back!

Clay pot was fire! Spring rolls were the freshest I have ever had in the south bay. Pho broth was delicious. And so reasonably priced. This is no ordinary Vietnamese spot - one of the best Asian spots in the South Bay.

Second time coming here and I was pleased. There is a parking lot which makes parking easy. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They would always come around to check in and see if we needed anything. The ambiance is warm and cozy! There's also a fair amount of seating. Last time I was here, I ordered the bún bò huê and it was okay. Solid 3/5 but could've been spicier! Wagyu pho: 5/5!! This dish is the reason I wanted to come back. If you were to get anything, please order this dish!! Caution: VERY HOT so be careful. So much wagyu that was super tender after cooking it. The broth is very clean and delicious. Egg rolls: 4/5 big pieces of egg roll but I wished it was served with fish sauce. They served it with a spicy chili sauce. It was still good but I just wasn't used to it.

I saw what I saw. There's no way that she changed her gloves in 5 sec of putting her bag away. And also never cleaned the work surface.

Ordered pho ga and it was so good! I worked in a Vietnamese restaurant growing up and this did not disappoint! The pho places around here are inconsistent and not that great. The service here was great, the deep fried cha veggie was on point and the pork bbq banh mi was delicious!!!! So grateful you guys are here! Go try for yourself and support your neighbors l!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian most of my days and they have options! The gentleman behind us ordered veggie options and he was stoked about his food!Kid-friendliness: I mean the space is big and low keyWheelchair accessibility: All floor level and options to wheel to end of each booth or a table

I like this place alot but today I'll never go back. While waiting for food I paid with cash they needed change. I literally saw the lady that had the Chang place her purse /bag( who know where that bags been ) on table where food is prepared. With her latex gloves still on she got the change from her purse .and then gave money to front desk. She then removed the bag and continued to make the sandwich with now a contaminated counter top and with same gloves she touched the money with and where her bag sat on the prep counter. While slicing the bread for my sandwich she took a loose bite of bread that fell off bread. Continued to make my sandwich while I watched. Taking the bread away from the counter. Which she thinks i wasn't watching I've never seen this action ever. . Not knowing why she took the bread away. She continued to make my sandwich. Once finished I took the meal. Me Feeling very disappointed already I opened the sandwich in my truck to see the bread very wet. Suprising cause i order alot from lequy. And enjoy it every time. But to see the sandwich bread soaked with juice which is not normal was very strange. Knowing what I had seen with my own eyes. I decided to throw sandwich away. You lost a customer which I know 30 others that go there and have already spread the word. I don't comment usually on any place but this one I had to. Who knows what happens besides what I saw.
Le Quy has truly set the bar for next-level pho. With locations in Palo Alto and Campbell, this casual haven delivers an authentic Vietnamese dining experience without MSG and introduces you to the epitome of indulgence--the famous Wagyu pho. My meal began with an array of delectable dishes, from the traditional spring roll with pork and shrimp to the crab and shrimp egg rolls. The special claypot rice with grilled salmon and shrimp, rock n roll beef with filet mignon, and caramelized seabass claypot showcased the kitchen's mastery of Vietnamese culinary artistry. Now, let's talk about the Wagyu pho--a masterpiece served deconstructed for unparalleled freshness. As you add the intensely marbled Wagyu to the piping-hot pho broth, the aromas alone are enough to transport you. The Wagyu, cooked to perfection, exudes a richness that is simply buttery perfection. Paired with the savory beef broth, aromatic spices, tender rice noodles, and flavorful herbs, this pho bowl is nothing short of a comforting and soul-satisfying dish. And let's not forget the Vietnamese egg coffee. This robust coffee topped with a sweet, creamy froth made from whisked egg yolks and condensed milk is nothing short of a chef's kiss to the senses. For a journey into the heart of authentic Vietnamese cuisine, Le Quy is the undisputed champion. I wholeheartedly recommend this gem.

Good service, pretty clean inside, and the food came out quick. I liked the food and would be happy to come back if I’m in the area, but it didn’t stand out as amazing as I thought it would be based on reviews.

Been here a few times over the last few months for lunch with different family. I've enjoyed it every time! We've had the pho, the fresh rolls the banh mi. Each very tasty! I like the ambiance of the place, feels like a nice place to sit, and provides a good complement to Green Elephant on the other side of the plaza -it's actually wonderful that we have two good Asian restaurants in the same plaza here! The price is OK, it's probably the Palo Alto Tax :) but as a local neighbor it's great to have this place here.
