Awesome food , great service . Crab,lobster on garlic noodles is the best. The sampler dessert is to die for, the rib eye dish is perfect with the jasmine rice . I always enjoy eating at this restaurant .
Le soleil is our favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. Food is always good with its generous portions and consistent delicious flavor. The service is welcoming, thoughtful, and detail oriented. Ambiance is excellent.
Yummy..yummy 👍👍👍 delicious foods and forgot to take pictures tho !!! SO GOOD...SO GOOD...Cant stop.
Hainan boneless chicken n rice, appetizer sampler, flammed quail, curry short ribs are wonderful ... cant stop to eat
I had 2 orders of Hoinan chicken to go....👍👍👍
this pic is their famous Curry Crab. it’s a whole crab in their delicious curry sauce istg i can drink this stuff straight up. if u come and get this DEFFF get their garlic bread as well. it’s so good with the curry but i would come here just for the garlic bread tbh. worth the try and it doesn’t break the bank.
Great tasting food, and you can get a taste of authentic flavors from multiple Asian cuisines here! The curried short rib and claypot rice were my favorite dishes here.
We were craving Burmese food, but the waits were too long, happened across this place, NO wait, delicious food and great service. The short ribs in coconut curry, lamb in macadamia, and the garlic noodles made for a great meal!! Cheers!!
Consistently yummy food. Been going for decades literally! Flambéed quail, curry short ribs, squid ink rice with tobiko, sautéed green beans, fried cod with broccoli, tiger prawns with garlic noodles, and pork eggplant basil dishes are my favorites.
Amazing Vietnamese food with excellent service. This is the original restaurant for Hong Kong Kong Le Soleli
Very delicious food, and the staff is super welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be coming back again soon!
We loved our meal here!
Such a sweet restaurant.
A clean, warmly decorated space.
Friendly, helpful staff who accommodated our request for no onions in their delicious traditional (beef) pho. Delicious.

No MSG Vietnamese cuisine!!!!!
Le Soleil doesn't resort to using MSG, but the kitchen gently coaxes out maximum flavor instead by using fresh premium ingredients, and classic cooking techniques. This is the only place I'll have Vietnamese noodle pho soup -- they only offer one kind of Beef Pho, but the broth is MSG-free which is pretty much a rarity. Le Soleil's able to get a rich, deep and tasty broth by cooking beef bones for 10 hours (no instant beef broth cubes or canned chicken broth here).
Dennis Wong, the executive chef, is very personable, relaxed, yet impeccable in how he runs the kitchen and its execution of dishes. He's been an "executive chef" for the last few decades (has other restos including one in Hong Kong), but Le Soleil is his home base. Don't let his title intimidate you, Dennis is so down-to-earth he was helping to bus my table (I came in 15 minutes before the lunch service ended) and graciously answered my questions about Le Soleil and warmly invited me back.
I've been there for Lunch, Happy Hour and Dinner -- everything is delish! What I've had so far: Spring rolls; Vegetarian rolls; Imperial rolls; Spicy chicken coconut soup; Lemongrass beef over Rice Vermicelli noodles; Traditional Beef Pho; and Turmeric Crepe (aka "Banh Xeo" -- a rice flour Vietnamese crepe made with no eggs).
I also really enjoyed the Garlic Roasted Dungeness crab with noodles — this is the only place I’ve come across in SF where they truly don’t use any MSG.
Many items are also gluten-free, but be sure to specify with your server if that's a health concern. The only items I didn't care for were the desserts.
The lemongrass chicken was very flavorful. The price was decent for a lunch combo which included a small bowl of soup. It had just the right portion so that you’re not left hungry afterwards. Recommend it.
