    Beef pho
    Peggie Y.

    Wanted a quick meal around the area I was staying at and stopped by this place. The food was okay, but the service was lacking as one of the servers was very busy on her cell phone. There's at least one table that is right below an air vent that air would just keep blowing over your head. Get the beef pho and grilled beef summer rolls.

    We went at 5 pm on a Saturday evening and there was plenty of seating available. The waitress was really nice and brought us a free condiment. I got the beef pho with veggies and everything was fresh, broth was really tasty. It had plenty of noodles and broccoli, carrot, baby corn, bok choy. It was very big I couldn't finish it! My husband like spicy food and he used the chili oil they brought with the pho. He also loved his pho and finished it all. Prices are normal for this area, the check was 51$ for two pho with extra tripe and veggies. Service was fast, will come back when I crave for a pho again

    If you are looking for pho in Boca Raton, this place hits the spot! Their broth and selection is great! Great family owned restaurant and amazing service!

    Atmosphere is art deco with 1950s style decoration. The flavors are fairly bland unfortunately and the food value just isn't there. I don't know if I'll come back. PS. Mens toilet needs a $5 part to stop continuously flushing but they have neglected it and put a sign on the top of the toilet to jiggle the handle lol.

    I was happy to find some Vietnamese around here. The service was good. They close very early though, which is not great and quite limiting. The food was pretty good. Not the best Vietnamese I've ever had, not by any means, but, its edible if you're craving Vietnamese.

    Korean BBQ Pho
    Casey W.

    Strictly came here for the Pho! Okay so my boyfriend and I are on a personal hunt for the best Pho in South Florida, and this was next on our list to try. We came a Saturday night, pretty decent sized crowd, but we were sat pretty quickly by the coolest fish tank! Love that. I'm super into ambiance and cool lighting, and things to look at! I'm a sucker for it lol. So to start off we both had a glass of wine (Pinot Grigio for me, Chardonnay for him) and had an order of the spring rolls (not pictured). They tasted on par, nothing spectacular. However, the main attraction, the PHO! I opted to get ox tail, and I'm sure glad I did! It was so tender and juicy! Full of flavor! The broth is what MAKES the Pho. Super flavorful and savory! We both agreed that this spot had the best broth we have tasted! He got the Korean BBQ and he really enjoyed it! Just said it was a bit difficult to eat, but I mean, come on, look at it lol. My only gripes are: I understand that you are either a sauce person, or you could do without any condiments and sauce ever (INSANE IMO).....I'm however a saucy person! They didn't have sauce on the table! No fish oil, no hoisin, no sriracha, chili oil/paste. Nothing. It was a mission to get someone's attention here for service. So my boyfriend ended up going to the bar to ask for sauces. Would of been nice just to have it on the table like other places. Not a big deal, but hey, that's just me. Second gripe. Like I said, it was hard getting someone's attention, and I do understand it can be busy. However we were enjoying our night conversing, and looked around and there was no one left in the restaurant besides us and one other party. No one came over. Took a solid 15 minutes to get someone over to ask for the bill, then you guessed it; another 15 minutes passed. We were both like, "Do you think they forgot about us? lol" Lastly, the price of PHO was a bit steep. I totally understand what we ordered, and the location you are in, but the prices were a bit steep considering the overall lack of service. So for those reasons it got 4 stars from me. But a must try! Give it a shot!

    I've been to a basilic before and I usually know what to expect. The spring rolls were good and the pho was good as well. I also ordered a taro boba which tasted watered down. The reason why i'm giving this four stars is because the service was terrible. We visited this restaurant about an hour before closing time and we were sitting at a table. No one came up to us for about 30 minutes so we had to order right at the bar area. The food came out fairly quickly but we were never approached buy another individual. I ordered one more thing and quickly ordered the check because I would have to hunt down the waiter. The food was good service was terrible.

    Chicken pho

    We were in the mood for some Vietnamese food, so we headed over to Basilic on Federal. The reviews looked pretty good on Yelp and online, so we were excited. We found street parking next door which costs us $4. I can imagine parking may be an issue on the weekends but on a Monday it was fine. The building looks very dated outside, but inside it's modern, fresh and comfortable. There were about 2 tables full in the entire place, very light crowd. Despite this, the 2 staff members there were working on Uber Eats orders and ignored us. No instructions as to whether we should just sit or wait to be seated. We had to jump in and ask after a few minutes and when we did, they did tell us to take any seat we wanted. The menu is full of soups, sandwiches and a variety of entrees but overall I felt that it was a rather concise menu with limited choices. I ultimately decided to go with the chicken pho and my wife got the wok tossed noodles with tofu along with a honeydew bubble tea. My pho was OK. The soup was hot and fresh and had all of the requisite ingredients, but the broth was very plain and lacked nuanced flavor. While I thought it was a filling lunch, it didn't make much of an impression. My wife didn't enjoy her stir fry. It looked nice, but as was the case with my dish, she said the flavor was very weak and that it almost seemed like it was an Olive Garden version of Vietnamese food. The accompanying Vietnamese condiments helped, but it was still pretty lame she said. She did enjoy the bubble tea however and thought it was tasty. I have to mention Basilic's pricing which aside from the pho seemed to be on the high end for what you get. $17.50 for a noodle stir fry? That's excessive. $6.50 for a bubble tea is also quite high. $12.95 for my big pho seemed fair though. It was a really big bowl, so that's nice value. I was going to get a Vietnamese coffee when we were done, but $6 for a coffee is outrageous in my opinion. I don't care how much of a specialty it is. Finally, the service was spotty. As I mentioned previously, nobody greeted or directed us upon arrival. And while our food arrived in a reasonable amount of time, the staff went MIA and could not be found when we wanted more napkins (which I had to pilfer from the neighboring table), condiments and a check. That was a little bit annoying. Overall, I give this place 3 stars. It was OK, but the food was too tame, Westernized and expensive for my taste. I would not go back nor recommend it. Summary: Food - 3 out of 5. Fresh, but very tame flavors. Amibance - 4 out of 5. Pleasant decor, very comfortable, good noise level. Service - 2 out of 5 stars. Pleasant, but spotty. Value - 2 out of 5 stars. Aside from the pho, very expensive for what you get. Overall - 2.75 stars rounded up to 3.

    I'm holding the "oxtail" meat which is either just a ball of fat or a bit of meat covered in fat.

    We tried something new, the oxtail pho. They should remove it from the menu. It was mostly fat, I thought I had a mushroom and it was actually just a piece of fat. How can you throw all that fat in someone's meal? It was so tedious to pick all the fat off. I got fed up and dumped it.

    It's my favorite comfort food and the vermicelli noodles are always good. We usually do take out, and it's even good that way.

    I hadn't had a meal here in about a year, so I took my daughter to dinner the other night. Happy to…read morereport that it's still great! I got the beef brisket pho and I shared a side of crispy tofu. My daughter got the stir fried beef and rice. All the food was sensational! I absolutely loved their broth, it was piping hot and super flavorful. But hands down the crispy tofu has to be their best dish. They serve it right out of the fryer and add just a hint of salt and seasoning, it's so good! All in all, this is an easy 5 star rating. I can't wait to go back again and try some different kinds of pho!

    We visited Pho Boca on the evening of February 6, 2026 with our family of four. Our food was…read moreordered and delivered relatively quickly by a helper (not our assigned waitress), and that was unfortunately the last service we received for the remainder of the meal. We were never given spoons for our pho (which, as a reminder, is soup), and no one checked on us afterward. After waiting for some time, I had to get up and retrieve spoons myself from the back bar area. We later ran out of water and, again, no one came by. I eventually found a half-full water pitcher sitting on the back counter and helped myself, as if I were part of the staff. Throughout our entire visit, our waitress was nowhere to be seen--except behind the counter continuously making boba drinks. After we finished eating, we waited again for the check, but no one came. I finally had to go to the front to pay, where I discovered that our waitress was also acting as the front clerk. I explained our experience at checkout and left no tip--something I don't do lightly, but service was essentially nonexistent. It honestly felt like she was completely disengaged from the dining room that night. The food itself was fine, but management seriously needs to limit dine-in seating based on staffing levels. There's no excuse for this level of inattention. With better front-of-house management, this place could do much better.
