Red Basil is a great place for satisfying that Vietnamese food craving. The price is great for the…read moreamount of food you get. The flavor is localized, so along side pho and lemongrass dishes there is also orange chicken and other american-asian dishes. The area is pedestrian only and has lots of free parking around the area. The restaurant has plenty of seating for 2s, 4s, and more and is only one floor. We had a mix of food ordered, but the battered chicken with egg noodles was impressive, it was a large portion and had a fluffy and moist chicken overtop the noodles. It was lots of food, and could have made great leftovers if we didn't devour it all. The service is on the slower side, they only had one server that day and the chef came out to help out. All-in-all the wait was around 20-25 min to get from order to food on the table and it was enjoyable. Would come back again to try the duck next time.

I'm so thirsty!!! MSG!…read more Just disappointed with another establishment serving from the bucket soup base. The large bowl did not have as much ingredient ratio to noodles compared to more places. We thought to order the stir fry beef with vegetables because we thought we would still hungry. The dish feature was not the best with an underwhelming 5 pieces of meat to almost dead vegetables. It seemed more of a plate of leftovers. The "Thai" sauce was a water down bunch of juice thickened with corn starch. Overall just was not impressed with this restaurant. Not returning.

The spring rims were super tasty and very crisp and delicious. The beef stir fry was good, a few chewy bits but nothing too bad. Flavor was spot on but the heat could have been higher, so I added sriracha sauce. It was clean and comfortable, the pricing is competitive and reasonable. If we were ever to find ourselves here again, we would eat here.

I've been a loyal customer here for many years, but after today, I'll NEVER be back. I came in…read morearound 4:00 PM on October 31 with my kids, just wanting a quick meal so they can go trick or treating, and left absolutely disgusted by the way we were treated. I ordered a grilled meat and rice dish, and with so many similar options on the menu, the wrong meat ended up being ordered When I pointed it out and asked if they could simply replace the meat to match my order, the waitress responded with a complete lack of care. She bluntly told me, "The manager isn't here, so you have to pay for both dishes whether you eat it or not." That was it--no solutions, no effort to fix the issue, nothing. I was left feeling like my business didn't matter to them at all. If this is how they treat long-time customers, I can't imagine how they handle other guests. Take my advice: AVOID THIS PLACE. There are plenty of better pho spots in town that actually value their customers. This was the last straw, and I won't be back. An absolute nightmare of a dining experience!

Good, but super, duper slooow…read more Located just around the corner from the Kitchener Market. Space is small, it's takeout only. When I came in, there were 3 people waiting for their banh mis. 1 of them was a large-ish order. It took quite some time for anyone to take my order and even longer to wait for 1 sandwich. I waited for approx 15-20mins if not longer. Quite a few people came in AFTER I ordered, but they got their sandwiches before I did which was weird. There are 3 people working behind the counter, and 1 of those people did cash as well. They charged tax even though I paid cash. Sandwich was good, but be prepared to wait. It was NOT a quick in/out!

Didn't realize the KW region actually has 2 Pho Dau Bo locations, since I usually go to the one at…read moreDT Kitchener because it's much more accessible by buses for students. This location is located near a more residential neighborhood, where most of the customers are families. If you drive it's recommended that you go to this location because there's a free parking lot. Compared to DT Kitchener location this one is a lot smaller, but the place is much nicer with better modern decors and has a general cleaner feel. We arrived at 5pm on Sunday for a casual dinner and the place was quite empty with just 1 other table. However, as time progresses there were more people coming in and by the time we left just before 6pm there was a line for tables. So it does seem like this is a local favourite. In terms of menu and prices this place is consistent with the other Pho Dau Bo franchised restaurants, and the soup tastes the same. However, I find that they give us less noodles than the other location as a Small 342 Pho Dac Bien (house special) didn't exactly fill me up similar to the other locations.
