    Teriyaki chicken  Fried rice
    Jennifer M.

    I went right at lunch time. The waitress was extremely busy but was also awesome! The food was so delicious, I honestly cannot wait to go back.

    Pho' with Egg Noodles and Meatballs

    Always great food!! They were super busy but no issues with anything! Food came out in great timing. Our server, Sydney, was amazing and very attentive. We even had a spill and she was too kind and made sure no one was embarrassed by the situation as she spoke quiet and worked quick to get things cleaned up. She's an absolute jewel! The FRIED DUMPLINGS were good. I was taken back a bit because they are truly "fried" as in "deep fried". But still a nice appetizer. The PHOENIX SUSHI ROLL is one of my absolute favorites! Served warm, everything about this role is delicious. There are so many flavors that explode in your mouth... If you're looking for something new to try, this is it! The PHO' WITH MEATBALL AND EGG NOODLES was so warm and delicious. The broth was super clear and so flavorful. The egg noodles, I like them better than traditional noodles. This is my first time trying them. The meatballs were good. Different, but good. I would definitely get that again. As for the atmosphere, I'm not marking off for this because out of all the times that I've been there this was the only night that I've ever experienced this issue... The music was so loud and the genre of music played was definitely not typical of any Asian house that I've been in; it was a little offputting. Nothing was vulgar, nothing had any harsh language or disturbing lyrics, just not a great choice of music for the restaurant. But more so than that it was the volume. Difficult to have conversations at your table.

    Servers genuinely cared about their customers. The menu was very extensive. The location was very convenient.

    Red eggs roll. 2/$4. Good

    Good service. Food is always good. We always get some rolls, crispy noodles and sometimes pho.

    The exterior of the restaurant was missing curb appeal. We pulled into the parking lot and were slightly worried. When we were seated in our booth, the cushion was badly ripped. As soon as our server came over and introduced herself, our night quickly took a turn for the better! Jessica our server had the most genuinely kind disposition. She was so knowledgeable on the menu items and anything she couldn't tell us, she quickly found out for us. Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious! I highly recommend Basil and I will be going back! I just hope Jessica is still there when I return!

    I really don't like to post negative comments but I was sorely disappointed with my takeout I eat here all the time and I have never ordered takeout before usually I enjoy this restaurant. This time we got half of the food you get when you order at the restaurant and we ordered the same dishes. Plus, it cost the same amount as the full portion. I ordered Mongolian beef was zero peppers but I got about 15 red peppers in my dish. Inedible. The vegetable tempura had little tiny pieces of vegetables and not the normal large size ones that you get in the restaurant plus half of what you get when you order at Basil. Once again I'm sorry to complain, but I am hoping my post will cause them to have better service. The food is always delicious but this is uncalled for to treat takeout people like second class citizens. Sincerely

    See all

    I came in and ordered 3 dishes. Bangkok Spring Rolls, Panang Curry, and Tom Kha soup…read more The Bangkok spring rolls are the same thing as summer rolls at other thai restaurants. This place is unique from my previous experience in that they used cilantro instead of mint leaves. It was unique and I like trying new things. The peanut sauce which came with it was not that great. It didn't have enough peanut flavor and it was too thin. I assume both issues are caused by the same thing. The parang Curry came and had a good spice level, however it too was thin. This makes dipping the sticky rice less enjoyable. It also had green beans which is unique, but that may be due to the produce of the area it's in. I didn't like it, but I won't fault them for it. This just wasn't my favorite dish. The Tom Kha was the disaster. It is my understanding that Tom Kha is tom yum with coconut milk. As can be seen from the photo, the tom kha emulsion broke and lead to a dirty flavorless broth. On top of that, the mushrooms in the soup had a boiled flavor. Mushroom taste better when they are cooked before adding the broth. This tasted like something that someone learning to cook will make. That's OK at home, but not acceptable for a chef to send out to a paying customer. Some good things are the environment and the service. It's a nice restaurant with a nice staff, however the food wasn't enough to encourage my return.

    I have only visited this spot twice and had the Pad Thai both times, but it wa a pleasurable…read moreexperience with good service. Their Pad Thai is certainly better than Rawz.
