Description [edit me!]

Yes, this is actually the real one. The rumor about a sibling fight is not real and the truth is more boring. Le Ahn had a three trucks on campus, sold one to her friend (Le Ahn's), gave one to her sister (Lyn's) and kept one (The Real Le Ahn's). You can blame the antagonistic name on Chinglish. Anyway, the food selection is ordinary and like her friend across the street, a healthy lump of generic sauce is dumped on each dish. However, she's the friendlier of the two and if you want Pad Thai or Bubble Tea without getting seated, this is one of the only places to go. Warning: Don't get the small size unless you are flat out broke. -MY

I tried their food a couple of times and was horribly disappointed each time. -Ben Franklin

There are some great finds at The Real Le Anh. The chicken eggplant is absolutely delicious, as is the chicken pad thai. -Ben Franklin

Here's the thing, the real le anh does a few things very well and you just have to try until you find them. Their chicken pad thai is absolutely outrageous, it's 5 dollars and is worth every penny - one of the most solid finds on penn's campus. -Ben Franklin

Not Tasty Sun, 15 Feb 2009

Food is almost exactly the same as the other Le Ahn, which is not a good thing. Unless they are competing for the worst non-food court Chinese food, there is really not much point in their focus on brand distinction. I have not tried the Bubble tea however, so they may at least be a good source of beverages. -Unamused

To be fair, this is only based on 2 dishes I got with them because I never went back after that. I tried ordering the wok-fried stuff, but there was an overuse of vinegar both times that made it taste kind of weird. -KT
