Friendly waitresses and fusion Vietnamese, Cantonese, Singapore & Malaysian cuisine! Excellent food . The lotus root salad is awesome we are it before taking picture as we are so hungry. They have laksa, Hainanese chicken rice and curry crab . The Vietnamese coffee is strong and aromatic and still using the authentic stainless steel strainer! Will definitely come back!

Classy service - professional, friendly, but not too casual, I.e., no "you guys" every 20 seconds. Love the Vietnamese coffee service - all coffee should taste this good! Food is really good, ranks with my favorite Vietnamese restaurants.

What a great restaurant gem in the Richmond. I was invited to a dinner and didn't have to worry about food or drink as it was all pre planned.It's intimate but not cramped. The venue is very well maintained and clean. From the bathroom to the dishes.I got to try many dishes and they were all good but my favorites were the rice shrimp cracker with raw beef carpaccio, curry crab, papaya salad and fried chicken lollipop.I've had many Asian dishes and they added personalized unique twists of their own. Again everything tasted yummy and we got to try a new seafood chowder with Dungy crab and shrimp. Dinner also had local wine, champagne, lobster, noodles, Hainan chicken, roasted quail, veggies and a hot dessert with mochi that was delicious.Service was amazing. Annie was social and doing an incredible job hosting every party. A true superstar of a restauranteur. The chef even came out for cheers and pleasantries.What more could you want? We were a group of 10 but a date, solo or smaller group would also be perfect to come here.
The curry vegetables were excellent! Noodles were above average.Outstanding and very friendly service.

Nothing about this place would immediately draw your attention--it's an unassuming storefront in the Richmond with a relatively small, one room seating area. But the modest exterior is hiding some pretty bomb food. Shaken beef: The beef was so tender that our 2 year old who refuses to chew meat devoured it. The beef to onion ratio was a little heavy on the onions though. Lotus root salad: Not something I would've normally thought to order but it was highly recommended and lived up to the hype. The nuoc mam dressing was so good! Another thing our toddler wouldn't normally eat but asked "I need more please" of. And last but def the best--curry crab. Definitely get the garlic bread, which was good enough by itself, but amazing to soak up all the delicious curry. A few other things we ordered that weren't as noteworthy: tofu and eggplant, garlic noodles (both ok but nothing to write home about), and duck fried rice (kinda overly greasy and the duck was more gamey than usual).

I was there with family last night 12/30/33. The food was excellent, not one dishes disappoint us. Giant prawns with garlic noodles, best of the best clay pot rice if I was there by myself, I did lick the pot lol. Laksa is something I don't order and I truly enjoy it! Shaken beef etc! Service was impeccable! Staff and owner is very friendly!

Bone broth, yes. Veggies, yes yes. Pho with veggies, definitely even though it's not on the menu. As a pre-diabetic with receding gums, veggies and bone broth are necessities for keeping doctors away. Le Soleil had only noodle soups with meats on the menu but it was no problem at all ordering pho with vegetables instead. Food is the best medicine.

Outstanding! A golden treasure on the best block of Clement - lotus root salad - crepe - five spice chicken

Came with 3 friends for lunch. Everything was delicious! We ordered the Imperial rolls, clay pot with rice, garlic noodles with beef, and traditional phò. Good service. Street parking. Nice ambience. We've been here before and would recommend this place!
Great French leaning Vietnamese food and excellent service in a nice setting on Clement Street.

Not sure how many times I've eaten at Le Soleil with co-workers, friends or solo. It's been a lot. The pho, grilled meats and clay pot dishes are excellent. The service is great too. It's a popular spot and it is often filled with a diverse group of people getting ready to enjoy a good meal.

I had the soup with calamari and shrimp. It was amazing. My friend had the pho and loved it and ate it super fast. Great staff, refilled my water glass a few times. I would go back for sure!! Impressive. Hot tip, sit by the window and you can watch people walk by.
