LeCheval has been a favorite of ours for years. The food is consistently good and we love the noodle, curry and pork dishes. The atmosphere is energetic and it can get noisy there. If you are dining with someone with a hearing problem, I would not recommend visiting during peak busy times. The service is consistently good, but don't plan on spending a long leisurely evening there. They tend to clear the dishes and turn over the tables very quickly. Give LeCheval a try- you will definitely enjoy this neighborhood gem.

With the intention of ordering the fish of the day (catfish), I entered this entertaining restaurant solo. Learning they had sold out of that fish, the wait person kept pressing me toward the tilapia. It was a large filet, yet served solo on the plate without garnish. It had been pan-fried and was not greasy. Still, the spices native to the Vietnamese cuisine were all but undetectable in my dish. If I venture back, I will be sure to order the watercress salad enhanced with prawns or one of the clay pot selections. These dishes elicited smiles from other diners.

We've been here many times and think it is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Oakland. Try their beef, appetizer rolls, salads, and fish clay pots. It is one of few restaurants left where cocktails can be $8, which accounts for the many peope at the bar. Service can be too fast and not well paced You can be eating the appetizer and the main dishes are already appearing at your table. Friendly staff.

The food was 5 stars as usual and the service was impeccable! I recommend anyone who is looking for a great evening at a classy place to try Le Cheval's

It's so easy to over order at Le Cheval. The food comes out ridiculously fast, and yet it is so tasty. We hadn't been here in a long time, but the food and service is just like I remember. Maybe next time, I'll remember to have a shot of the "snake juice"....

Le Cheval is pretty basic: a good place to get a hearty lunch and go. Both the lemongrass beef and prawns were drowned in a very oily and spicy turmeric sauce.

When you first walk in, you don't expect much. It's clean, but dated. Has the typical "asian" theme decor. The place is huge, so if you have a big party, it'll be perfect. The best part is the food though. It's amazing. Salted prawns and the garlic noodles were my favorite. Whoever came up with the cheese in the noodles is a genius!

They were out of the whole fish, which was the main purpose of my selecting this restaurant. The beef and broccoli was salty and the broccoli underdone, the shrimp was ok, the chicken--I can't remember which one we chose--was the best. The waitress was sweet but it took forever for her to first arrive at our table.

Le chevalier has a wide menu of interesting dishes. We had clay pot fish (excellent), orange beef (very good), lemon chicken (average), and stuffed mussels (delicious). Prices reasonable. Big cocktails. Would have liked fresh whole fish, but they had only "fresh frozen".

Make sure to order the garlic green beans - they were to die for. The soup was delicious, and although I thought the kabobs were a bit small on the portion size, combined with the green beans they filled me up. I would definitely go back to try more items on the menu.

The food was delicious and the menu was diverse. The bar scene was lively and the cocktail menu had mouth watering drinks. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Only complaint: the hostess wanted to seat us next to the kitchen door so we asked for a window table. She went on and on about how there wasn't a server in that section. In a restaurant as large as this one, wouldn't you staff the window tables instead of the inside tables for the customers enjoyment?

The food was amazing (beef cubes & calamari are delious) but it was insanely loud! There were multiple kids running around my table and banging on plates and the window. Additionally, the service was terrible! Our waitress was extremely rude and never said one polite thing. Worst service and ambiance I've experienced!
