Le Soleil Stonestown

I tried their clam soup which was cold and I wasn’t expecting that. It had good flavor but I think it would taste better warmed up. We tried the aguachile shrimp and it wasn’t what I expected. I expected more lime flavor and for the shrimp to be cooked in more lime or lemon. The shrimp was more raw than regular aguachile. We tried their garlic roasted crab and it was good. The brown butter sauce gave it a more nutty taste. It was a bit too salty but I asked for lemon and it really rounded out the flavors.

After the rain finally cleared, it turned into a beautiful day to visit my beloved San Francisco. No trip to the City is complete without dinner at Le Soleil in Stonestown. Having visited this new location several times, I’m always impressed by the upbeat, modern vibe and the thoughtfully updated menu. We may have over-ordered, but every dish was a hit—from the flambéed quails and lotus root salad to the lollipop chicken and miso butter mushrooms. However, the stars of the show were the crabs.

We had a delicious dinner at Le Soleil. The food was fresh and tasty and the service was friendly and attentive. The taretare was light and fresh, while five-spice roasted chicken.... all flavorful and well-seasoned. Our favorite, the pho risotto was especially buttery, served with a FAT bone in rib. The star of the show- the curry crab, was delicious and very tender. Overall, a great experience. We’ll definitely come back.

We had a delicious lunch at Le Soleil. The food was fresh and tasty and the service was friendly and attentive. The vegetarian spring rolls were light and fresh, while the imperial rolls were nicely fried and came with fresh vegetables and noodles. We also enjoyed the green beans, garlic noodles, and five-spice roasted chicken—all flavorful and well-seasoned. Our favorite, the braised short ribs were especially tender, served in a rich, savory curry with toasted bread. For dessert, the mango ice cream with black sticky rice was a nice way to finish the meal —not too sweet, with good balance. Overall, a great experience. We’ll definitely come back.

My favorite was the miso mushroom! Big portion too. Next was the beef. So tender! The squid ink rice had crunchy torched rice and a bit of tobiko. Garlic noodle could use more garlicky flavor and not be so cut up into shorter pieces. Excellent service. Food came out fast!
