Le Colonial

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.

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.

We were a party of 12. No food was left behind! :D

I’m a huge fan of Le Colonial in Chicago. We decided to try the one in San Francisco. We’re so glad we did!

Everything we ordered was delicious. A couple of times we doubled up on certain dishes because they were just that good!

It was a fairly busy holiday evening; but, we were fortunate to be seated in a more private space with plenty of distance from other diners. The restaurant staff and our main server were working hard to take care of us and all the other guests there. We were grateful for their hospitality.
