Nothing Roger would recommend
“Stay away from Le's. I shoulda Yelped this place first before eating here.”

Returning to this Linda Vista spot after a long absence and a change of ownership, Roger found his #1 pho bowl soggy with a too-thick broth and chewy, flavorless beef that tasted like reheated leftovers; he was also charged for tea despite complaining about the food, and told readers to stay away.

Source-backed notes
“Stay away from Le's. I shoulda Yelped this place first before eating here.”
Roger and a friend went to Le's for a late pho craving in Linda Vista, only to find the place under new ownership and much worse than he remembered; his #1 pho bowl had a thick, soggy broth and chewy, flavorless beef that tasted like old leftovers, and he was still charged for tea after complaining about the meal.
Stay in the neighborhood
A no-frills, inexpensive Linda Vista dim sum counter Roger recommends for a fast, cheap fix, though it lacks the full cart-and-teapot dim sum experience of Jasmine or Emerald.
A Linda Vista restaurant listed under Chinese on Yelp that Roger visited for a quick bite while holiday shopping, rating it 2 stars after a long wait for a sashimi plate that arrived soggy and, in his words, the worst-tasting sashimi he's had in town.
A juice bar location Roger found overrated and not worth the price for average-tasting drinks, giving it 3 stars mostly for the cool design and outgoing staff rather than the smoothies themselves.
