awesome restaurant!

by pree r. | insider Insider | Rank: 29,155

This restaurant is great! Usually try coming in for a Saturday lunch and try their yellow and green curry! The restaurant is situated in a nice area as well.

great place

by melanie l. | insider_guru Insider Guru | Rank: 132

i've only been here once, but my experience was awesome. the staff was really friendly and the food was great. and if you are feelign brave you can even try the "snake juice." snake juice is an alcoholic beverage. i'm not too sure what exactly is in there, but if you see he bottle there are a bunch of snakes floating around in it.

The Best Place to Eat in Downtown Oakland

by Terri W.

Le Cheval is fantastic French/Vietnamese restaraunt. It can get pretty busy, so make reservations or go during the week. Try the lemongrass chicken, the salty prawns, or the springrolls. Bon Apetit!

A well-oiled machine

by Camille P. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 4,563

Some have complained that the service at Le Cheval is bad. Not so--if the servers seem unfriendly, it is only because they are extremely efficient (though I've always found them to be polite as well). The service is extremely fast, and tag-teaming is a way of life. Really, it can be a pleasure to watch.

As for the food, they offer a wide range of Vietnamese foods, and the quality seems to be uniformly high. I especially recommend the claypot fish and the salty calimari. For a special pyromaniac thrill, get the bananas for desert. Cash and credit accepted.

PROS: Efficiency, available on-street parking
CONS: Crowds on weekend nights

Sometimes Hype is Right

by Megu W. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 3,847

Le Cheval has enjoyed accolades and hype for quite some time now. If you don't mind waiting for a table and a loud, crowded dining area, you have to try this Vietnamese restaurant. Even though it's not the most authentic, the clay pots, entrees, and specials are culinary delights. They have cheap and very fast lunch combination, perfect for the work week.

PROS: Quite tasty!
CONS: Can be a long wait for a table.
