Walked in, smelt like a fish market. Was immediately turned off! I go to the Houston location all the time, the menu here just didn't have much options. Service was decent.

Everything was just simply wonderful. Very unique atmosphere, especially for San Francisco. Every single plate we got was just amazing. The lychee martinis are the best that I have had in the San Francisco area.

Le Colonial is an absolute throwback to eras of subtle elegance and charm. The interior is a Casa Blanca esque feel, with rattan, beautiful tile, and tropical plants.

The service was impeccable, and every suggestion was on point. Our waiter was friendly and really made our experience effortless and enjoyable. My guests were going to the Masonic for a show after dinner, and they made sure to course everything in an efficient manner so we didn't have to worry about any time crunch.

The food itself was a treasure. I was amazed by the subtle and rich flavors of the food, and everything was executed beautifully.

Honorable mentions include the Chilean bass, which was prepared in banana leaves and finished in a coconut milk sauce with glass noodles, the roasted Portabello Spring Rolls, Braised Pork Shoulder and Mustard Greens, and the tropical tequila and passion fruit drink.

All in all, a phenomenal experience. My guests and I will be back.

Chef changed post covid. Ordered the banana leaf wrapped steamed sea bass with coconut sauce and glass noodles. Highly recommended! Service was excellent. Not busy if you go early. Good place to eat alone when traveling.
Floors need updating.

I have never felt the need to write a negative review of a restaurant but the bad treatment we experienced several days ago caused me to write this. I reserved a table for 3 about a month ago. When we arrived, right on time, we were told the ONLY table available was this tiny table, suitable only for cocktails for 2, and NOT for 3 people to enjoy dinner. It was stuck in a front corner of the restaurant as well. We asked why we couldn't be seated at one of the larger tables behind the receptionist. He rudely said that those tables were reserved. We repeated that we also had a reservation, which he acknowledged. But he wouldn't budge on seating us at any one of those tables, insisting that we'd have to sit at this tiny table. I mean this was surely a joke or mistake. This man could not care less. His attitude was so bad. We left and will never return again. I'd strongly advise anyone else to avoid this place. There are plenty of wonderful restaurants where you are greeted cordially and treated well.

The food was good, but we were seated at 7.45 and did not get our food until 9.30. Faster service would have made the dinner much more enjoyable

Had dinner here a few nights ago and it was sensational. Absolutely 5 star service, meal and atmosphere. Such a special spot, with caring staff. Was with a big group and we had about 5-6 appetizers, and two sides and each had an entree and every single thing I tried was incredible. Highly recommend!

Le Colonial has great food and a beautiful garden seating area. There is even a pay phone if you need to make a call. Though the chairs fit well, lumbar support is to be desired. I am slightly confused why the music has ads every ten minutes or so through what appears to be the same jingle. Never the less, I will continue to go back as the vibe and food is great!

Extensive menu and wine list. Very chic Vietnamese restaurant in an old townhouse in an alleyway surrounded by apartment buildings. Service was friendly and efficient. Food was delightful.

It had been so long since my last visit, maybe 20 years ago. I forgot that the restaurant is still here and how fantastic it is ! Highly recommend! There was a table behind us speaking French - that is an endorsement right ! Highly recommend: vietnamese crepe, crab imperial roll. Shaken beef, pork skewer , clay pot salmon, sea bass in banana leaves !

Super impressive ‘high end’ Vietnamese cuisine. Great service, fun menu with all the classics, even the cocktails were done right. Highly recommend you give it a try.

The space was intimate, warm, and exceptionally decorated. The server gave great recommendations.
I enjoyed the passion fruit cocktails with the earthy cilantro and spicy tone-based tequila. The crispy vegetarian spring rolls were delicious, and the Beef stir-fried Criphy Pho was flavorful!! The Angus Beef dishes were super tender and easy to devour with the side accompaniment of the sauce.
I chose the rambutan as a dessert which was fresh and chill. Would recommend it to friends and come back again.

Hidden gem. Great space for a large group gathering on the 3rd floor (also has a balcony). Food is great, American -Vietnamese fusion. Full bar

Sublime! Tel qu'annoncé dans les avis.
J'aime les restaurants qui ne sont pas situés sur les artères principales.

Long time San Francisco institution continues to impress. It's probably been 20 years since I visited Le Colonial. That kind of longevity in the competitive SF food scene is noteworthy alone. We tried a variety of apps and entrees such as the sea bass and the green fried prawns. I must say that it was all very good. The entrees and drinks were expensive but not more than one would expect in a high-end SF restaurants. $18 for a mai tai? Luckily it was good. The room has a comfortable Vietnamese/French theme. The service was getting a bit lax as we dined later in the evening. I had good memories from past visits and this recent visit reenforced the positive impression. We would return.

I wish I could give more stars. Beautiful restaurant. Perhaps the food is better for less-Asian acute palates. The staff and service are excellent (Mariner great help and very friendly). But I was disappointed in the freshness of the banana leaf salad the lack of flavor in the sea bass.
