Sawleaf Vietnamese Cafe

Really good americanized Vietnamese food. If you can't make it out to westminster or garden Grove then this is the location you could try hitting up. I did not realize that they had pho as well as banh mi and bun which is a Vietnamese noodle dish. Overall the prices were affordable and I ended up getting the chicken bun which was pretty delicious for the price. The sweet chili fish sauce was different that the fish sauce I am used to but it overall made it a very good tasting dish. Would be willing to try the pho to go next time but you can get that everywhere in garden Grove though so it might be a waste. I would recommend this if you are in the area and are craving Vietnamese food and need to eat right there and then. Also blk coffee next door is pretty good if you get their blk coffee and nothing else.

Was hoping to get the tofu pho with vegetable broth, but they don't have veggie broth :( I thought they had it before. Maybe it was discontinued?! I settled for the tofu bahn mi sandwich, which was good. It comes with a side of sauteed jalapenos. Staff was very friendly. The bathroom could use a deep clean!

Love the food! Fresh and amazing pricing! Pick two is the best! You get variety without breaking the bank. You can get pho, vermicelli or banh mi. It is enough for two small people or good for one hungry person! Also get the cardamom tea. It is really good but depends on your liking. Share and have a good time with friends near the gorgeous waterfall!

This place has a unique approach to get Vietnamese food out there. It's located in the heart of the Irvine Market place and gives people who are unfamiliar with Vietnamese food a chance to try some. It's fast casual and while im used to sit down restaurants, I feel like there is no real competitor out there in this segment. What I love the most here is the combo option. You can actually get Pho and Banh mi combo! It's a smaller portion but i thought that was unique. I will be back!

This restaurant was a solid find by me and my husband. We come here quite often. They are unique in their approach in serving Vietnamese food. Nice ambiance and clean and friendly service is more than most Vietnamese restaurants can offer. We tried their pho and they've recently changed the way they serve pho. They have different types of broths! They have a "Hue" style broth that has lemongrass and chili overtones and a roasted garlic type. We tried both and it was great. The price is a little higher than what you would find in Westminster but hey, it's Irvine!
