Sawleaf Vietnamese Cafe - Anaheim

Okay, WOW. Let me first say I had mixed feeling about paying $8.50 for a train Mi Sandwich. Finally, the OC is known for cheap web Mi's, right? Well, I ordered the Premium Flank Steak Railway Mi and it was DELICIOUS! I previously paid for overpriced train Mi, but it was not where near the quality of this. The taste of the steak was very complex, and I know it is not in its name, but the lemongras flavor really came through and it was a great refreshing combination with the picked radishes, Jalapenos, Cilantro and everything else. Oh! Can not forget to mention that the bread was not hard like brick literally, the perfect runway mi! It is located in the Anaheim shopping district, on the first floor. You have a sweet and small decor. They provide a water dispenser that is all I needed to help me get the sandwich. Service is fast and great I would definitely recommend this place!

Had the lemongrass chicken alley. One of the best railway sandwiches I've ever had.

This place is great. From all places in the garage or in the area it is a real treat. Food is very simple, but healthy. Very authentic with a modern touch. The tofu bahmi with Hoisin chili sauce is one of my favriots... and I'm not even vegetarian. You can't beat the Deluxe Filet Mignon when it comes to Phu. The price is not bad and the quality is great from my experience come here in the last 3 months or so. After you're done, you'll get some crepes over the hallway for the desert. The best meal if you want something to meet IMO. Always great food and great people at the saw blade

This place has some excellent pho!! Some of the best I’ve had!! Well worth the visit!

Sawleaf in the marketplace completely solves my withdrawals for delicious Vietnamese food when I'm in Irvine : The location is very modern, clean, and super cute inside! They have really cool artwork and I love the layout of the store because it feels so open and bright all the time! The service is amazing- everyone is really friendly and they always check up on their tables even though it's not a full service restaurant. Calvin, the owner, is seriously so passionate about the food and that shows through the quality and consistency. He really cares about his customers and that definitely translates to his staff as well. I feel like I've tried most of the menu by now so I'll break it down: Beef pho: the broth is amazing! It's super hearty and you honestly don't need any sauces because it's so flavorful on its own I really appreciate the fact that there are separate broths for the beef, chicken, and vegetarian The soy garlic tofu pho is also surprisingly Delicious even though I loveeeee meat Spring rolls: so light and refreshing~ I also love the dipping sauce and it's great with sriracha Egg roll bites: perfectly crispy and a great appetizer since they're so small and there's a lot a lot so it's easy to share Banh mi: I love how the bread here is perfectly toasted so it's crunchy but also soft! It doesn't hurt your gums like some of the other banh mi places : I've trade the lemongrass beef, chicken, and pork belly and they are all so good so I'd recommend Any of them! Bun (vermicelli and salad: this is my go to when I want something healthier feeling especially cause there's so many greens~ Loaded sweet potato fries: I prefer these with the shrimp : it's another good appetizer and the sriracha aioli is bomb like always~ Sparkling mint limeade: my favorite drink here because it's super refreshing and light! Vietnamese coffee: really creamy and smooth : it's also sweet and strong just as it should be~ All in all, I love everything here and I'd recommend sawleaf to anyone because they have such a huge variety
