Description

Perched next to the I-5 overpass that divides the International District, Green Leaf delivers a quick meal that will fill you up. Across the board, the dishes are presented beautifully, and there's no scrimping on size. Regulars here are often fiercely loyal to their dish of choice, whether that's the pho (with perfectly spiced broth that some say is the city's best), the remarkably large vermicelli noodle bowls that teem with meat and veggies, or the Seven Special Courses of Beef for Two. I'm partial to the specialty fried-duck noodle soup, which comes with fresh veggies and egg noodles. Those in the know also revel in Green Leaf's hole-in-the-wall anonymity, touting it as a Tamarind Tree without the hype. If you can, try to get a table upstairs; the natural light and kitschy wagon-wheel benches make for a better environment than the dim, crowded-feeling dining room on the lower floor.

The popularity of Green Leaf might have something to do with the Vietnamese restaurant's taut shrimp-and-pork spring roll, served with a tuft of emerald-green lettuce sprouting from one end. But the kicker is what the menu calls "crispy stick," a cigarette-sized cylinder of fried dough that lends a satisfying crunch to the twist of vermicelli noodles and herbs.

2007 | Best Pho

Fans of the ubiquitous Vietnamese noodle soup usually break into two camps: those who think the broth is the most important part and those who think the meat is. Thankfully, the International District's Green Leaf offers a reminder that slurping pho doesn't have to be an exercise in sacrifice. For less than $7, diners receive a heap of rice noodles bathed in a shimmering, clear broth so clean and rich with flavor that it recalls oyster liquor, while free of the oversalted, headache-inducing...

For Vietnamese, I love Green Leaf. It's in the International District. I can't remember the exact name of my favorite dish, but it's coconut pancakes that you wrap in lettuce leaves. I usually get the half-pork and half-shrimp in them. It has a fabulous sauce with it - tart and tangy, fish-sauce based, with all kinds of cool herbs. I love their lemongrass tofu also. Tofu picks up everything, and they put loads of lemongrass in it, so it's delicious. I love, love, love their food.
