Had a great first time visit today. They had a vegetarian menu which made it easy for me to read and order from. The woman at the front desk who took my order was friendly and welcoming. I feel like this is a family owned restaurant and the food was delicious. It also tasted fresh which is great! Here in the photo below I ordered the Vermicelli with Tofu and Friend Vegetarian Egg roll. I also ordered some coconut bakery treats along with my entree shown here: As a first generation Vietnamese American, I would recommend this authentic Vietnamese restaurant for those visiting here in Hayward or locals!

We were in town for thrifting and made a pitstop at the must stop Le Paradis. Bà chủ (the proprietress) is warm, friendly and will take good care you. My viet mẹ would be happy eating here. We had the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup Also had Noodles with Grilled Pork and Egg Roll. Very very very delicious.

This place was so delicious. The bakery is everything, it was so hard to choose a dessert. I enjoyed what I ordered, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The inside set up was also very serene I was l enjoyed the French influence if this restaurant, I highly recommend the sandwiches and the various noodle soups!

At last! I have found very good Vietnamese food in the East bay. I’m so happy! Especially since the presentation is so lovely and fresh even on take out. I got the papaya salad w shrimp also and the vermicelli w shrimp- grilled shrimp- very good. The owner was super nice too. I will be back

Tried their bakery. It was amazing. Had a lemon meringue and raspberry almond tart. Both were really fresh and tasted good. The customer service is very good as well. I also like their mini garden and there free parking in the rear. Will go back to try their pho as well.

Let’s just say I come here a little too much... #37 on the menu, beef and egg roll vermicelli (edit) 10 months later and the quality and flavor of their food is just as great! This time my date and I got #68 & #42.

Great lunch option for banh mi. Totally affordable and delicious . I wish their bread was a big crunchier like a traditional banh mi. But it works

Delicious and fresh food!

My favorite soup at Le Paradis. Love the food. Thank you Alice!

Had a Wonderful dinner, great customer service, and yummy bakery

Amazing. Their vegetable soup was perfect for when I was sick. Service is great.

Alice is super nice (restaurant owner) is so nice and people helping her are also so gentle. All the food I have tried taste delicious.

This is a cute lil family owned restaurant with delicious food. Plenty of. Bakery stuff too. Loved the chicken phô. Plenty of varieties

The owner Alice is a kind soul. The food is excellent, you will get authentic style Vietnamese food. The lemongrass chicken was flavorful with a nice spice. I got both the rice noodle and the broken rice plates and eat both in one setting. The Vietnamese coffee was perfect to finish the meals. I do not travel often because of my mental health, but it was good to go to a restaurant where the owner was very relaxed and kind.

Great lunch option for banh mi. Totally affordable and delicious . I wish their bread was a big crunchier like a traditional banh mi. But it works

Best spicy pho noodle soup I ever had! Fresh ingredients great tasting broth! I definitely recommend this place!

Awesome experience, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Great selection of pastry and well light clean. Lots of photos on the wall!

Great little gem in Hayward. Nice clean tasty Vietnamese food with a Parisian twist. Bit pricy but worth it for quality of food.

Very cute and quaint place! The food was very delicious and fresh! The staff was quiet but very sweet and nice :) I'll be back for sure!

Definitely one of the better pho places I’ve been to! Delicious and fresh spring rolls! Veggie broth also 10/10!

Very good Vietnamese food, and amazing bakery items to pick up on the way home. I love the private parking lot, and lovely garden.

Cute little gem in downtown Hayward . Food is amazing ! Service is great and prices are even better 😊 definitely check out if your craving some Vietnamese food

Clean yummy food! Ate the rice vermicelli with shrimp and they gave me a free cookie :) definitely coming back to try more

Great everything here. Great viet coffee, pho is out of this world. Insane amount off pasrties. Cool vibe great food.

Awesome Vietnamese sandwich. If.you walk.by the pastry case yiunwill.be.sucked.in for sure. Sammo and pastry for $7.00 can't be beat. Love this place a real Hayward gem.

Yummy food. Good place to get baked items too. Wonderful people who make you feel home. Easy to find using map. Restaurant has parking lot. There are two huge public parking lot with in 100 feet.

amazing food! one day out of nowhere my boyfriend and i were hungry but didnt want any of the same usual thing we need and i chose this place the prawn and chicken rice plate with the egg roll. we have eaten it every day this week

Heavenly Vietnamese food! I have tried the soups and vermacli bowls so far. Coffee is perfect too. I like the atmosphere and decor although it is not ordinary. There's a bakery I have not tried yet.

Love this spot! The noodle soups, banh mi, and vermecelli are all excellent. Fresh. Love the egg rolls too. Also, the service always friendly! Clean. Simple cafe style, but full service.

For lunch and dinner, this is my favorite place to go. All their dishes are a must try, the owner is very accommodating specially if you are new to their restaurant and your next visits is already like you’ve been a friend to them. My favorite is their Grilled Chicken Shrimp and Egg rolls Vermicelli ❤️❤️❤️

Awsome Vietnamese food. They have vegan pho and their tarts are fantastic. The decor is simple, but the food is delicious. Parking on Mission is not feasible, but there is ample parking in the rear.

Been here at least a dozen times and still haven’t put a dent in their menu. It’s expansive. Everything from several soups to sandwiches to rice plates to banh xeo to pastries. They seem to bake the bread for a lot of the other local businesses as Ive seen people loading tons of fresh bread into their trunks.

This little place is such a pleasure! Great food, very high quality ingredients, everything is fresh and made to order. The restaurant is clean, the service is good (can get a bit slow when busy). Few vegetarian/vegan options, and even vegan broth for the poh!

very much small business, great great pho, super kind and you can tell its family owned, been coming with my boyfriend for years theres also kitties outside that are very taken care of, great place

Delicious food, wonderful service and ambience. Everything is clean and fast service too. Highly recommend if you stop by!

They were hella sweet and gave us complimentary ice waters while my friends and me waited. ALSO THE CHALICES WERE HELLA COOL!!! - the meringues were well-priced and tasted very yummy! :D

No other local spot beats their pho. I also love the pastries, bahn mi and egg rolls. My sister always gets the short ribs and loves it. Even my picky neices and nephews love the pho here. They will customize it as well (I get mushroom and tofu in mine).

We love coming here. Good location- excellent Vietnamese food and French breads and pastries. Alice and her family and crew most welcoming and eager to serve and please.

Great noodle soup/pho everytime. Friendly staff. Always gets phone orders right, repeats my order back, and that is exactly what I leave with, which means a lot. Lemon tarts are my fave!

I have been coming to Alice's place for 10 years. Every meal has been delicious and well seasoned. Once in a "Blue Moon" I add a touch of "Hot sauce" to the Pho. The Spring Rolls.. MMMUUUUYYYY YUMMY! Enough said. Cheers, Mates.

Affirming their food is delicious, nice portions, good price, great fast service, the difficulty in just choosing 1dessert (not overly sweet neither 😋). In complete agreement with all the reviews that say just that❣️ Which is soooooo true❣️ Keep up the great work Le Paradis (with and without COVID-19)

Best pho in the Hayward/CV/SL/Fremont area. I had the "regular" chicken pho and it was loaded w/noodles, onions, chicken in a tasty broth. All this for just under $10. No way I could have finished a large. No way. If you want pho noodles, go here. Forget the rest (like Wends Cafe in CV - they are way overpriced and underserved).

Delicious food. I had the combo Thai tea with lemongrass chicken over vermicelli noodles. All of it was tasty!

Excellent grilled beef and grilled pork spring rolls. Very impressed with the chicken and shrimp crepe. Yummy peach and apple tarts.

Found this place watching "Check Please, Bay Area". Honest vietnamese food and fantastic pastries. Super friendly too! Shout out to Vince! He even hooked us up with a free cookie.

Exellent food and great service. If you are looking for beautiful restaurant or white cloth at the table look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a wide variety of delicious Asian dishes with a French-Vietnamiese twist this is the place for you!

Such an awesome place to go for food! I like everything that they serve! Such a great selection as well as a great serving! I can't say enough about this place, it's amazing!!

My favorite place to get pho. The broth is lovely and the service is always top notch. I will update this one day when I try other items from the menu, but the pho keeps me coming back whenever I can.

Really great chicken pho & veggie spring rolls. Kind server. Would return if I were in the area again.

Great food, great customer service. The business is family owned which adds special and well valued touch. They a variety of broths which include vegetable broth. In my humble opinion this is the best Pho in Hayward, CA. Bonus, they have many delicious pastries to choose from.

I ordered food for delivery and it was SO DELICIOUS! I got tofu spring rolls, which were very fresh, a “shrimp salad” which was just a house salad with shrimp on top (exactly what I wanted) and a piece of carrot cake. The carrot cake isn’t your classic carrot cake- there is like a cream in the middle and it’s not super dense but it’s sooooo good. Thank you!

Le Paradis is a delightful Vietnamese restaurant that combines cozy, traditional decor with a modern twist, creating a welcoming atmosphere perfect for any dining occasion. The staff are warm and attentive, ensuring a pleasant experience from start to finish. The menu features authentic Vietnamese dishes like aromatic Pho, perfectly balanced Banh Mi, and must-try fresh spring rolls, all made with high-quality ingredients. Complementing the food are traditional beverages like iced coffee and a selection of unique teas. With reasonable prices and exceptional service, Le Paradis is a standout choice for anyone seeking a memorable meal in a relaxed setting.

Le Paradis & La Patisserie truly excels in its service. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine smiles and attentive staff. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent wine recommendations that paired perfectly with our dishes. The impeccable service made our evening unforgettable.

After watching check please I had to go and try their food. I’m also happy to report that they are still open during the shelter in place. I ordered the lemongrass fish with noodles and my husband ordered the beef with noodles. The food was fantastic. I can’t wait to go back when we can dine in. They have a private parking lot in the back which is very convenient. The lady who owns the place also keeps all of her plants in containers.

Love this place, we got to know the owner Alice over the years and she is wonderful. Place is clean & great tasting food, it tastes fresh. Love the Pho, the Vermicelli, eggs rolls, Bahn mi & spring rolls.

Was really needs some comfort food today and decided to try out a local place near my work. I was not disappointed!! The spicy lemon grass pho broth was to die for and the perfect heat without being too hot. I love the way they packaged the to-go order. The broth is in one container and everything else in another. Everything was super fresh. Will definitely be back. Not to mention the pastries looked AMAZING!!

I had almost given up on Pho in Hayward/Castro Valley, but Le Paradis is amazing every time! The owner is kind & friendly, & you can taste the LOVE in her food. The broths are AMAZING!! All on their own—I sometimes buy just the broth when I’m sick. My favorite is the Pho Thai Seafood Soup 😋, & the Crab Tomato Seafood Soup is rich & delicious. Full of flavor & NO MSG. A MUST HAVE: the HUGE spring rolls with Grilled Pork 😋

Lovely neighborhood spot. Very friendly staff, family owned restaurant. They have pastries and Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee. Yummy. They also have food haven't tried yet but will come back to try the soups and other foods they have. Love supporting local

Awesome place. It's a not usual mix of Vietnamese restaurant and French patisserie. The decoration is not very conventional, but the food and service are really good. This was my first visit, and it has become one of my favorite restaurants in Hayward.

I eat at this restaurant about once a month. The food is really fresh and the flavors are excellent. Alice the owner is very nice and we always feel very welcomed. She offers a variety of fresh baked goods which I take home, my favorite is the banana bread.

The food is delicious! The staff is very helpful. They are willing to accommodate food sensitivities. There is handicap parking. The restaurant is family friendly. The prices are reasonable. I dined with a friend and she and I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant to others.

This place was hands down the best noodles I’ve had in the area and the deserts were to down right delicious. At first glance I was unsure at the menu but I’m very glad I gave it a chance. Also if you like shrimp fried rice instead they are a 10/10

My absolute favorite are the Grilled Chicken Spring Rolls!!! They are my “go-to” for a great quick meal, to accompany a protein or just to take on a trip. I love mine with Hoisin Sauce or even Soy/Sesame Oil. Love the tomato rice as well!!!

The seafood soup here gave be visions of spicy yet not scalding water cleasing my taste buds with a stops between shrimp fish crab breathing(my least favorite part) tofu and wonton. The flavor was able to captivate all my senses and any previous concerns fell through the paradise clouds of broth and noodles. The soup was amazing 👏.

This is my go-to place for Vietnamese food in Hayward. At some restaurants I can taste that the beef or pork is not fresh in the Pho soup, that is not the case here. Love the Pho, spring rolls, egg rolls, banh mi sandwiches & the vermicelli plates. Food is always fresh & tasty. Great service for dine in or take out.

Good beef bun, though the beef was in little rolls. Imperial rolls were good. Didn't have a cup to enable dipping in fish sauce (brought to table in a container titled "vinegar").

Alice is the best. She's not only a Vietnamese food expert, she's French! What the other reviewers here don't get is that she combines flavors- don't just get the pho- her vermicelli dishes are incredible! Try the curry shrimp, try her pastries. The menu is big- go beyond the obvious & you'll see this is some of THE BEST food in the bay area!!!!

Had a Wrk party .. Everyone loved the good ..on time service ..Very much appreciated.. excellent place to dine in or for take out . Go. Desserts mmmm.

The food is so, so good, and the people are so nice! We also ordered a cake ahead of time and it was both delicious and beautiful. I can't wait to come here as often as we can afford (which will be a heck of a lot more frequent than we could go anywhere else; their prices are great)

Food tasted fresh, the workers were kind. I had the pork banh mi and it was very flavorful and the bread was warm and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. A gem of a hole in the wall type restaurant.

Amazing customer service A1 service. Tasty food well seasoned. Parking was easy and very welcoming and patient customer service.. Yes please eat here you can smell the Pho broth from the parking lot...

This small place food is pretty tasty. Even our Vietnamese friends said it was authentic. Lots of flavors. Fish sauce was great. Not too busy . Service was excellent. The owners comes and asks how is your food. Pretty good place to eat Vietnamese food

The owner is so nice! I called for take-out to be picked up at 8:15PM, and the owner told me they usually close at 8PM during SIP but she will wait for me. I ordered the Grilled Pork Vermacelli with grilled pork/shrimp and spring roll. It was a lot of food for the price. The owner also recommended her crossiant which she makes in the restaurant. They also sell a variety of baked goods, like merigues, cookies, etc.

A little gem tucked in Hayward across from the new Library. I love a hidden gem 💎. The flavor of the pho does not disappoint. Great price point. Great service. The ambience is tranquil. Outside of the buidling has lovely plants and there is ample parking. Oh and there is a fresh French bakery here. Bon Appétit!

Casual dining with delicious food. Reasonable prices and customer is excellent. I love this place.

Mom-and-pop vietnamese restaurant and bakery convenient to Downtown Hayward and freeways. Specializes in wide variety of spicy noodle dishes, and chances are you'll be talking to one of the owners.

I don't have a lot of experience with Vietnamese food, however, I love the pho. I had one made with chicken broth. It was absolutely delicious. The family that owns this restaurant is so gracious.

Mom would always know your order. And you could ask her if you want to ask more side dish salad

Diverse menu from fresh Vietnamese food, sandwiches and Pho to pastries. The owner is Vietnamese however spent some time in France and puts her culinary skills to work with daily made baked pastries. The food is fresh, the place is clean and the staff and service are friendly and efficient.

First time here. We really liked the spicy beef soup. The broth was excellent with lots of deep flavor. Owners were very friendly as well.

Par Excellent, but needs dusting and dn to tge bone cleaning in tge dining room, and tge jars and reg area. One ref glass is inactive filled with nic-nacs, maybe Ms. Ngyuen fills up Holiday orders. Suprrb service unique herb garden outside, pkg really is avail outback! Thankgoodness Mercibeaucoup Madamosieulle

Free parking, beautiful garden and whimsical music plays in the diner while you eat. The food is delicious, the prices are fair and the customer service is great. My favorite dish is vermicelli noodles with prawns, beef and chicken. The macaroons are exceptional and so are the lemon tarts so don't leave without trying a dessert!

Ok so, I love Pho and I moved to Hayward about 2 months ago. Out of the restaurants I went to this one has the best Pho I've found so far. But better than the soup is the service! They are some of the sweetest people I've come across. I even tried the noodles with the egg roll number 29 on the menu. And because I don't eat beef they changed it for me no questions asked. It was soooooo good 👍🏾

Le Paradis is a decent Vietnamese restaurant that is spacious and clean. The menu has appetizers, salads, noodle soups, vermicelli, and rice plates. Since it was a cold day I chose the standard sized Thinly Sliced Beef Pho (#12) for $8.00. Nothing special about the soup, noodles, or beef but it was very filling. The staff is very friendly and there is a small parking lot behind the restaurant.

Food is ok so I'm looking to try again. The Veggie Chowmein was a bit soggy and lacked a variety of veggies. And The sauteed veggies w shrimp was a bit bland. It needed more deep, garlic flavors.

Menu lies about prices. It's probably 4 dollars more for everything on the menu. I got the combination beef pho, which is way better than the downtown pho place, but pho ty is still one to beat for great beef pho.

Many menu options (even for vegetarians), but I found the flavors lacking. Slower service than most Vietnamese restaurants, too. I think I'll stick with my local Pho shop next time.

I’ve never seen any customers inside… is this place good? Asking for a friend

First off, the lady was super sweet and had great customer service. I rated it low because the meat on the beef banh mi was raw in the middle of the roll and barely had grill marks. I also didn’t like the level of sanitation. The person who made my sandwich had visibly long and dirty nails, they did not use gloves. I also saw them double dip in the condensed milk with the same spoon they used to taste the coffee. This place has decent reviews and I tried it with optimism but after my observation I will not be going back. Again, nice people but they need to be consistent on cleanliness more than anything.

Very bad food quality!!! Not tasty not authentic , and yet it’s expensive! I wasn’t too happy with food But very good service !

Cute spot but okay food. I’m bummed the basics like the spring rolls and pho were so under average. The broth didn’t taste like a typical well made bone broth, watery and with cinnamon? A bit odd and not anything I’ve had before. I found a few hairs in my food as well but didn’t think anything of it in hopes the food would be better. I had high hopes. On to the next pho spot.

The food was okay. The pork spring roll was a little disappointing it was made with a pork cold cut instead of the shredded pork. The restaurant decor was very basic. Silverware was a little dingy. Not what I would expect for a French styled restaurant. The staff was nice.

I ate here 11/17/25 same day got strep throat the same day! food was good but they may have food safety issue idk

First time ordering from this restaurant and what a disappointment. $60+ down the drain. Food had that taste of bad, stale oil with the worst aftertaste. We had to throw most of the order away because it was inedible. Fried rice was mostly frozen peas and carrots. Too bad.

Sat down at 11 AM. Ordered food at 11:05 and the waitress said that it would take about 5 minutes for the specific food we ordered to come. 30 minutes later they gave us food that we did not order. We told them that the order was wrong and the waitress angrily took the plate and didn't even offer an apology. We waited an extra 30 more minutes for our correct order to arrive as other customers received their food. Our food still did not come. That was our cue to leave to another place that offered pho.

I had a bad experience with Le Paradis due to the below reasons: 1. The fresh orange juice that I had ordered with no ice was less than half in the glass. I paid $6 and got jibbed 2. The chicken was partially cooked which was part of the tomato rice order. Now I am worried I might fall sick because of the bad chicken, I did throw away the pieces that were not fully cooked. The order came with 3 pieces and I had to throw 2 because it was not fully cooked. Hopefully, I will not fall sick. Never again will I order from Le Paradis

Won't be coming back. This is not a good pho restaurant. The soup was too salty. I ordered a Combination Pho. They cut the meat balls into thin slices. Who does that??? to save a few pennies.

Food awful. My pho noodle over cook and the wonton was Tast bad. I think it's expire keep too long and still use it. It was not busy when we walk in. That should been clue to walk out

The food there was not fresh and too salty. I ordered a standard size beef combo noodle soup, just a little noodle and the soup was too salty, few beef slides were over cook!!!! Omg! My friend’s ordered a chao mein, it tasted terrible with no taste. The vegetables and shrimp were overcook! It was a terrible experience! We will never come back to that place again! 🥺🥺🥺
