Xanh Restaurant

Very good 👍 food and good service. Buffet was very good and reasonably priced. Very good place for group meetings.

Better than company cafe, but can't find a reason to revisit out of working hours

Definitely super hip with modern decor and beautiful dishes. We went on a weekday night, and it seemed like a lot of people stopping by for a meal or drinks after work. There's a big bar/lounge area that I imagine might be popular a bit later or on a weekend. The food was surprisingly good -- not really authentic Vietnamese or anything, but that's not what you'd expect. It was a little fusion-y and hip, but pretty delicious. Lots of vegetarian options; everything on the menu with a star could be made veg. The vegetarian calamari was a stand-out. A bit on the pricey side, but worth a visit.

Delicious and comforting lunch buffet has great selection both spicy and non spicy. Great decor and relaxed and smart feel. Friendly and hospitable staff. Plenty of outdoor seating.

Always a fun vibe. Good option for happy hour. Food is pretty good. Seating both inside and outdoors.

Beef entry, soft shell crab wrap, pork skin wrap and duck wrap,. All the same wit/ the same sauce

The place always has good and fast service. the food is probably prepared in the kitchen beforehand ready to be served immediately to customers. It's an upscale Vietnamese restaurant with very good longer like lighting and space to accommodate big parties. The happy hour menu is also very good, too bad they don't have a DJ anymore like the old days.

Chic spot for delicious lunch, served buffet-style.

Place is pretty clubby, a good choice for groups.

Great environment and food. Enjoyed the calamari and miso salmon. Highly recommend if wanting to try something new.

Maybe I really don't like Vietnamese fusion but the food was not good here. I got the beef short rib and it was lack depth of flavor. Also the meat was hard to get off the bones which made it cumbersome to eat. We also got the Thit Nuong. The beef was way over cooked and the nuoc cham sauce was not that flavorful. I would rather go to an authentic Vietnamese place.

Was there recently and I was disappointed in comparison to past visits. The food was of lesser quality and the service was very slow despite not being full at lunch.

Great place to go with friends and coworkers. Very healthy food and great selection.

Went here for lunch buffet and was pleasantly surprised. I am not a fan of buffets, but the food here was quite decent and reasonable priced, I especially enjoyed their pho, service was also good, not bad selection of drinks either. Totally worth checking it out for dinner sometime.

Great Vietnamese fusion restaurant. Good dishes if a bit on the sweet side, good presentation, and great service.

Upmarket, funky Asian fusion restaurant. Well positioned near the bottom of Castro Street. Outdoor seating on the footpath and indoor seating with atmospheric lighting inside. Decent variety in the menu with rolls, mains with fish, chicken, beef, etc, noodle dishes and more. Staff are friendly and courteous. Recommended the rolls.

Was introduced to this place years ago by Vietnamese friends. The shaking beef (sp?) is their best dish. Salads are also great. Come for the lunch buffet, great deal and most of the fare is available.

I celebrated my birthday this evening in this fine place. I am glad to say that we passed a marvelous evening and the restaurant was no doubt the reason for this strong gathering. The stuff cooperated in a very nice manner, the food was great and my guests were extremely cheerful. We shall absolutely visit again for more celebrations. Thank you very much.

Lunch buffet menu has both plenty meat and vegetarian options. I like beef meatballs, seafood curry, and tapioca pudding.

We had a corporate event there and it was really easy to get seating for a large group. The food was amazing and came out very quickly. Our team favorite is the garlic noodles - must try. The grilled shrimps were a close second. The raspberry cake and chocolate temptation desserts were also delicious!

I visited with a large group, so didn't get to order directly. However all the food was good, generous portions, and fast and attentive staff.

Good food but can be better with the service

We went for lunch buffet. Group of 15. Food was very good (for buffet.) Everyone found something they liked.

Food was good and staffs were nice. I liked the steak and rolls in particular. I think the price was a bit expensive.

If you say happy hour is until 6:30, then you serve it until 6:30. If you stop serving it at 6, then fix your happy hour times. Until then you will have a few unsatisfied customers.

Fabulous food in a smart but not overly trendy setting. I enjoyed the appetizer brought over a sublimating pot of carbon dioxide!Options were fresh and zingy. Staff were pleasant.Pricing was full but not gouging

Unique dishes with explosive and diverse flavors make Xanh one of the most outstanding restaurants in town. The atmosphere, whether you sit inside or outside, is enjoyable and slightly loud, but still good for conversation. A great mix of seafood, meat, and noodle dishes made it incredibly difficult to decide what to order, which means my wife and I will definitely be returning often.

Surprisingly they have excellent options for vegetarian dishes as well. The ambience for larger groups is well set as well with buffet arrangements which makes it perfect for work lunch outings. Spring rolls and eggplant sliders are definitely must haves!

Tried this place already with a friend and I am hooked ever since. I enjoy the excellent vibes and delicious dishes and drinks. Highly recommended.

Really good Vietnamese fusion restaurant. The portions are big. Loved the papaya salad and spicy seafood curry. Friendly and attentive staff.

Vietnamese Asian fusion - legit and tasty food!

This restaurant brings a lot of beauty and fashion to downtown Mountain View. Food is flavorful, finely presented, and fun to eat. Fantastic reduced happy hour finger-friendly appetizers and drinks. Steamed dumplings, spring rolls keep the appetite going. The bartender is super gracious and accommodating. Each request brings a smile on her face. Off the happy hour menu a must--try crab martini appetizer to satiate any crab craving. Pho soup is a bit expensive and small, but first rate. Everything tastes healthy when eating Vietnamese cuisine. Excellent place for group gatherings, outdoors, indoors, and at the front lounge area.

Decent selection of food, none executed too great, price valued about right.There are three lengths of buffet for lunch with a nice mix of meat, seafood, vegetable, noodle dishes, rice dishes, fruits and desserts. There is also a pho station, and the broth on the burner seemed hot, but by the time you got back to your table the broth was luke warm and not really cooking the bean sprouts. I enjoyed the fried catfish dish as well as the vegetarian eggplant dish.Everything was ok, but nothing spectacular, great for a quick in and out lunch with friends or co-workers.

Absolutely awful. I had both a beef and a chicken dish, both of which were made with chunks of meat that were untrimmed in any way. Both of them were more fat than meat, and finally I gave up on chewing on fat. When the waitress asked me whether I'd like the food I'd left over wrapped to bring home I told her no thanks, it was inedible the first time, and told her why. She didn't seem at all concerned.After paying for an expensive meal I couldn't eat, I had to find a pizza joint so I wouldn't starve.

Awesome food, great cocktails, very nice and cozy place...perfect for romantic getaways (hm... not that I had one).

We had dinner on a weekend. Good colorful ambience with soft calming waterfall. Didnt have to wait much to be served both starters and entrees. Staff were friendly and helpful. Their Shaking Beef was excellent as usual - the meat and the salads. Went well with Blue Moon Belgian beer. Their seafood starters and entrees are also very tasty.

Nice ambience with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Nice selection of cocktails. My mojito was blah, margarita was better. Food is presented very well but average taste. Excellent service, very attentive and helpful. Allergy aware with a separate gluten free menu with a decent amount of choice - plenty of rolls and entrees.

We like a lot hanging out. Yesterday we came to this magnificent place which friends recommended to us. We had a beautiful time there with superb meal and a courteous crew and a great chef. We added this place in our list and we will certainly visit again soon. We deeply recommend.

It was pretty good. Really could be better for the price. We enjoyed the food though.

Went here for the lunch buffet and it was great! The price came to about $21 each, they had a bunch of good food, and the gluten free options were all nicely labeled. They only split a tab up to four ways, so that slightly complicated things for our group of seven.

Food is overpriced. Everything is way too sweet. Noodle seems over cooked. The shrimp on noodle is salty and the stir sauce is overwhelming. I feel like they marinated the shrimp in thick salty sauce for a year! Green papaya tastes like sweet pickle, it already became a bowl of wilted raddish！$90 for two and super disappointing! 巨tm甜。

Finally a decent restaurant in downtown MTV. Its strictly asian fusion, and I've heard that one of the chefs used to be a pastry chef at someplace famous. So definitely save room for dessert! Got the vietnamese tacos, which were delicious and the garlic noodles with jumbo prawns. Expected the noodles to be bland but they were surprisingly good, could have done with some more prawns though for the price. Got the eighth wonder dessert, which is a pyramid shaped chocolate decadent piece filled with hazelnut...was delicious. Presentation is great across the board.

Nice food and lot of options for veg as well

two days ago was our first time we visited this place. But It is surely not the last. We enjoyed the evening very much with the excellent service, with the excellent food and booze and with the friendly pay. We will surely come back soon.

Good Vietnamese with a modern twist. I really liked the chill atmosphere and the service. The some of the dishes could’ve been less sweet. They served bánh khọt which I have never seen served at a restaurant before which was amazing! Also the serving sizes are massive so it’s easier to share!

Food looked really fancy but to much fusion of other ethnicities. Was not a huge fan. Spring rolls were cut into small pieces and touching each other. Hard to eat because they were stuck together on the plate. I got the beef cubes which was really good. Probably won't go back.

Love this place, the shaking beef is always amazing. Plates to share, yummy yummy. Dog friendly outside seating. They have an amazing happy hour drinks and apps deal as well.

Tasty food and terrific outdoor seating

Classical Vietnamese restaurant doing lunch buffet. Good starters (spring rolls, salads, especially those with papaya), good noodles (pho, garlic. Noodles, yellow noodle), many varieties of hot dishes (chicken, pork, beef, fish, other seafood, etc.) and vegetarian dishes (eggplant, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.) as well as less healthy food like fried food. Very good and will likely return..

Really nice and modern inside. Service was perfect and they are extremely accommodating foe vegan/vegetarians!!
