We were seated immediately. The greeter was nice and bubbly. We haven't been in a 2-3 years so we were excited to see the inside and the menu items. We decided on the potstickers for the appetizer and we both got beef pho. it was delicious! I recommend the beef round eye and the brisket. read more

Delicious Vietnamese fusion! They put modern twists on traditional dishes. I absolutely love the bread they use for their Banh mi bites. The lettuce wraps were outstanding, the vermicelli bowls were delicious and I can't think of anything that wasn't flavorful and fresh. Definitely want to bring my kids back to try it out. I think they would love it. read more

My girlfriends and I would go here for 1/2 price Happy Hour 1 a month. We decided to go this week. I went on web page to verify happy hour times. It said 1/2 off apperizers and drinks. That same day, we went there, at 2pm. We ordered with our server, our usual. When we got our tickets, the were full price. We told the server, and she said "yes that is correct. They just changed it this week". We showed the the web page, and was told "ohhhh, they did not change the website yet. Im sorry". We asked to talk to manager, and was told "they are not here". The end! They said there was nothing they would do about it. read more

I went in to get take out. I'd looked at the menu prior to driving down since it is not close to me. I saw all these notations about dietary needs and to mention any, etc so I figured they would be used to requests. I waited a bit for someone to acknowledge me and then when I tried to order I just asked that my food not be fried in any of their sauces because I have a fish allergy. I wanted to give them $30 for an appetizer and a stir fry made without any of their sauces. I explained to the server that I understood it would be bland but that this was ok. I was told by the kitchen they could not stir fry any of the dishes I wanted without the sauce so I left with no food. I am a travel nurse who has been going back and forth across the country for the last 9.5 years. Last night I was in a tiny town in the Panhandle of Florida that was able, willing and kind about preparing my food in a way that I can eat it and this place can't. read more

I finally found a place I like in Lafayette, Louisiana... Before a flight home, I looked for some Vietnamese because the Thai places here are just terrible. Bun Bo hue lunch! $9.99. The flavor was there, the portion not so much. I guess you get what you paid for. As you cannot see in the picture...noodles, brisket, sliced beef, and Vietnamese ham. Next time I will order the full portion. Also got a side order of stir fry tofu. Absolutely delicious. The restaurant was clean and not busy when I arrived. My server was awesome as well. read more

The server, Catlin; was one of the best We have encountered in a long time. The mixologist made perfect cocktails! The food was disappointing. I do blame myself, Why order steak at an Asian infusion restaurant. The Rib eye was at best 1/3 of an inch wide. There is no way that the steak weighed more than 8 ounces and not the advertised weight on the menu. I requested it medium rare; it was medium well cooked. I requested no glaze; it came out with a sugary glaze. The dipping sauce was sugary. The mac and cheese side dish didn't have any discernable cheese in it. Again, my fault for ordering a Rib eye steak in an Asian infusion restaurant. read more

In Louisiana this weekend and I took the opportunity to have an early birthday dinner with my family. I didn't want to go to the usual Louisiana fare restaurant so, I chose @blubasilwineandgrill. My great aunt (88) and grandma (98) were both a little skeptical trying something new but, they left no crumbs and thoroughly enjoyed their dinner. read more

Food service and atmosphere very good. Would recommend this restaurant . Good for family outing.

Went there for lunch with a friend...was there a couple times before with no issues and tasty food...this time the inside had a unique bug spray smell to it...my friend ordered the hot tea and the spout was filthy...shoved a napkin down the spout and it came out dirty... Ordered the spring rolls and before eating we noticed a live roach crawling around in the peanut sauce...we showed it to our waiter and he freaked out of course...I politely left enough money for what we ordered and immediately left...will not be going back...this place will not be recommended...it should be visited by the board of health immediately...there has to be more going on in the kitchen than can be seen from the dining area...disappointed and disgusted... read more

The food was delicious. Service was not very friendly. Our waitress made no effort to be friendly or personable. Food came from the kitchen one meal at a time which meant it took almost 30 minutes for the entire party to be served. The restaurant atmosphere was calm and conversation was easy because background music was very low and calm. read more

Food was awesome, service was very good and the atmosphere. Check it out if you want something different and authentic in a nice atmosphere.

I visited this restaurant with family during my Thanksgiving visit back home. The visit was wonderful. I'll be honest and say we went to Pho House first. Unfortunately we were met at that door with a very unpleasant aroma. So we searched for suitable alternative, I'm so glad we found Blue Basil Wine & Grill. The servers were courteous and the food...oh the food, was absolutely delicious. Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and an Old Fashioned cocktail really warmed me up from the drop in temps outdoors. We had a great dinner! read more

I will give 3 to 3 1/2 to score this restaurant. The restaurant is nice looking. Big plenty of room for large gathering. Our waiter Evan was very attentive and king and helpful. The bulgagi wrap was excellent. Great taste, very appetizing to look at and tasted fabulous. The second order the beef ban mi roll was just ok. The taste is boring. Salty and not much more. The acidic flavor was missing. The 3- item pineapple fried rice was uninspiring. Presentation was pretty but that's it. I don't like to give just ok review but I will always be honest. Next!!! read more

The restaurant has been one of my favorites, unfortunately I was not able to be there for a few months....But my excitement turn to disappointment!! ...The beef lettuce wrap is one of my favorites...however this time I got all lettuce and had to search for the beef! the waiter was very nice... made excuses about a new chef etc --he even said I did not have to tip him...I considered returning it but did not ...I just thought of it having a very small salad... and I DID TIP him!!.. read more

Do NOT waste your money. The spring rolls were inedible -- we did not even finish them. They were actually hard to eat, like rubber. The meat inside of them tasted like they washed it with dish water. There are better rolls in town, to say the least. Onto the Banh Mi Bites -- horrible. So because we were burning money on this anyway, we ordered one more app. for your wallets information, the fried egg-roll appetizer comes with two, TWO, very small rolls. not kidding, and they're not even great. They were also out of tofu and lo mein. I settled on the Pho, which I'd heard was good, and was underwhelmed by a flavorless broth that even hot sauce couldn't remedy. We will never be eating here again. Save your damn money and go somewhere worth a buck. Recommendations : Masala (better curry, wonderful atmosphere, service is off the CHARTS) Bangkok Thai : the best spring rolls in town, comfortable space to be in, GREAT food! read more

If you're looking for a great date night, or group dinner spot look no further. This place has a great atmosphere, service, and not to mention outstanding food. During happy hour certain cocktails in House Wine are five dollars! There are also several appetizers on the happy hour menu as well. During this visit, I was able to try the steak, that was on special for $20. Each Thursday is steak night and lamb night, you can get each of them for $20! The steak was delectable and I highly recommend trying it! It was cooked just right in the seasoning was perfect. I also tried the duck pasta. The duck had a great taste and the pasta sauce was pretty good. I don't know if I would recommend getting the duck pasta, but four out of five stars. I definitely would like to get back to try other things on the menu. read more

Glad to have tried out this place while in Lafayette. Interior was beautiful, staff were very kind. Initially was sat in a corner where it was pretty warm. Our server happily re-sat us towards the central much cooler area of the restaurant. Menu covers were extremely sticky like it had been wiped with soda instead of water or cleaner. * Bulgogi beef nachos: 5/5 stars - of course when I spotted a Korean fusion dish on the happy hour list I had to try it! And so glad I did! I would 100% come back here for this small plate alone. You can never go wrong with a combination of sweet bulgogi meat, sweet imitation crab meat, buttery smooth avocado, sweet soy sauce, and spicy mayo- those flavors naturally blend together so well. Put those on top of a nacho and you have the perfect crunch to give it some texture. After only 5 nachos to a plate I was tempted to get a 2nd! - $5 happy hour! * Pineapple fried rice with shrimp: 4/5 stars - normally, I'd never get fried rice as my entree but it was frequently featured in reviews and seemed like it would be special in its cute pineapple "bowl". It waaaas super cute! Loved the fresh pineapple slices on the side. But! tasted pretty average level good. Wouldn't go for it again at $17. - tip: they leave a lot of edible parts of the pineapple as part of the "bowl" itself so if you're a pineapple lover, take your fork and stab & twist at it to get a ton of pineapple juice and bits out on to your fried rice. * Shaken Beef: 4/5 stars - decided to try this dish at a different place than my usual. The meat was holy moly soft!! SO tender, yum. How do they do that? Was definitely reaching over to hubby's plate more than mine lol. Other than the usual rice and side veggies it also had a small bowl of hot broth that was so soothing and warming. Overall loved it but it had a vinegar-y something mixed into the sauce which I would have loved it better without. * Pomegranate martini: - hubby said it was a "solid cocktail" but the ratio was definitely tipped more towards juice. Tip: happy hour M-Sat 2:30-6:30 with some drinks and few small bites. Get the bulgogi beef nachos! read more

I'm Asian and grew up in cities heavily populated by Vietnamese communities. I think the service and ambiance is great. I think the food and drink selections are decent. In particular, I think the pho and Thai iced tea is worth ordering. Out side of that, I think the food lacks flavor. Today I tried the lo mien. The noodles arrived and I could already tell by the color (pale/white) that it was not flavored well (it should be closer to brown to reflect the flavoring). I mixed it and gave it a try and was disappointed. I hope they can improve on this recipe as I'd like more Asian restaurants here to remain strong. read more

Blu Basil Wine & Grill - Beef Lomein - Vietnamese Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Always looking for good food on the road. We drove from Galveston to the Keys. On the way back we stopped in Lafayette on the way home. My husband thought it was bit far from I-10. But we wanted Pho and the reviews were good. With all trips off the beaten path I believe a blessing ensues and to my surprise they have INDONESIAN food. This is a rare find outside of maybe Seattle or Queens. For me it was in Dallas in the home of my Dutch Indonesian Grandmother (she looked Indonesian and never made Dutch food). The stop created great joy for me and the Jakarta Style Soup was so yummy and felt so familiar. My husband topped his vermicelli with the Indonesian Tofu. We both enjoyed Indonesian egg covered in sambal. My recommendation is to ditch the oat cracker and serve shrimp chips :-). But that is all. If you go here and are a foodie order off the Indonesian menu and go beyond satay. read more

The Pho was extremely off the chain !!!!! Highly recommended for anyone looking for the experience .

I chose to try this place for the first time for my birthday this year and was super impressed! Our waiter recommended the Sriracha Kimchi fries which I wasn't sure about at first. It ended up being such a hit! Our other dishes were also really great, too, and there was enough for us to bring home for leftovers (which is definitely a bonus in my book!) read more

A friend of mine kept telling me great things about Blu Basil but with the plethora of dining options in the area I kept putting it off. Once I made it in it was to pick up to go but I know I'll be dining in here soon because it is so stunning and intimate inside. It's in a bustling shopping center that is no stranger to outside traffic but when I stepped inside I was transported to a different world. There are waterfalls and little ponds all over and I just felt calm and zen in here, when just moments before I was using some pretty colorful language to describe someone who had cut me off in traffic. I ordered the Sriracha Kimchi Fries-french fries topped with bulgogi beef, kimichi, sriracha, spicy mayo and a sunny side up egg. I was nervous because I had never really tried such a dish but this was exactly what my friend recommended so I went out on a limb. This is an appetizer but enough to be easily shareable. It was spicy and delicious. All the different flavors together made for an unexpected but interesting meal. I loved this dish and will be ordering it again. I also got an order of the Summer Rolls (pork and shrimp) which I figured were a safe choice to fall back on in case I hated the aforementioned. I took one bite of them and was not a fan. The cilantro was overpowering everything else in the rolls and I felt like I had just taken a bite of soap. If you can stomach cilantro you might love these but I can't and didn't. I'll be back to Blu Basil for certain to try more of the menu. The pineapple fried rice served in a pineapple is on my radar for sure! read more

Great place, Amazing service and really cool for family. So I'm going to describe my entire plate : my grilled pork was well seasoned, properly spiced, almost too sweet for me and well cooked. I loved the salad in particular as it was unseasoned and balanced the sweetness that came from the grilled pork. The running eggs topping was great (properly cooked under without overcrusting the top) and my fried egg springrolls were wonderful. The rice alone tasted a bit bland but once eaten with the grilled pork, it had enough flavours to mask the bland taste. I'd say the star of the meal was the grilled pork and Lemonade !! Safe to say that I was not disappointed and I would be going there again. read more

Recently dined for a late lunch. Lunch time ends at 2:00 (2:30??) and there is a special lunch menu which allows for ordering select smaller dinner entree at a lower price. Service here was polite and professional and prompt. Bathroom was clean and presentable. Order included egg rolls, pho and a curry chicken dish. All were tasty and flavorful so you know they were prepared well. Portion might be a little small but I also gotta remember we are in post pandemic times and people do not need to be ordering a lot of food ---bottom line I was happy and satisfied and recommend you trying this place should you be nearby. read more
