My friends and I wanted to get something quick for dinner so we could get back to studying. Despite the good Google reviews, a classmate warned us about their food, but we decided to give it a shot. Three of us ordered pad thai and one ordered curry. The dishes were ready quickly, but we were extremely disappointed when we opened our containers. All the dishes lacked seasoning. The pad thai had soggy, clear noodles that were clumpy and came as one giant rectangular block. It came with more vegetables than noodles, and many of these vegetables are not usually found in pad thai: large onion slices, broccoli, zucchini, and slices of carrots. Most of us did not finish our meals because of how poorly they were prepared. As a student, I have limited time and funds and I deeply regret choosing this place. read more

Food was great !!!! I ordered the "Shakey Beef" with a side of fried rice (rice came with egg). It was a filet mignon with the house soy sauce. I added some hoisin sauce for a little bit of sweetness. My only complaint was the fact that they were playing Bruno Mars the whole time that we were there. read more

Too much sugar General Tso's chicken! Food quality is not that great. Ambience is really good. Would not go there a second time as there is no time put into making good food. It was like fast food quality. read more

Had the basil leaf chicken and green curry chicken. Chicken was fine, no fatty bits. Sauces were a bit watery. Green curry showed a hot pepper next to it but it was was not spicy in the least. Spicy basil leaf had zero spice. Not sure if you have to ask for it, but everything was very mild. read more

Worst Pad Thai I've ever had. Dish was pink and came with a lemon instead of a lime. Tasted like a strange version of sweet and sour sauce. Will not be ordering from here again. read more

Feeling welcomed into an establishment is very important to me more so than anything else. When I say this I don't mean roll out the red, blue, or green carpet and escort me arm and arm to my seat. I just mean make me/customers feel like "hey I appreciate you stopping in today". That simple. Green Basil made me feel this way 2 mins after arriving today. For someone who is so socially awkward, this was a huge plus and the main determining factor if I would return. (IF the food turned out to be delicious.) APP: veggie spring rolls- hot, fresh, flavorful, they taste pretty much the same as other places I have tried. Nothing really stood out. ENTREE: Massaman Curry Chicken with steamed rice - Flava flav and I'm not talking about the rapper. I no longer have to travel to Norcross to my fav restaurant for some grand massaman. The chicken was cooked just right. DRINK: Green tea with passion fruit flavor. Wishng I had another right now. It was refreshing. The food indeed turned out to be delicious. I loved the ambiance and décor. I'll be returning with my family and I look forward to trying the green curry next time. read more

Sometimes my reviews can get a little confusing when I'm torn over a star value. So I thought I'd break this one down into pro's and con's and you can decide for yourself the appropriate rating. PRO'S - Fast, friendly service - Attractive interior decor/ambiance - Excellent Spring Rolls (some of the best I've had in Atlanta) - The flavor of the shrimp fried rice was excellent (no enhancements needed) - The amount of meat in the steak pho was very generous CON'S - Although pho is good, it's got a little kick to it. Our server said the ginger in the pho is probably causing the slightly spicy taste. - My family did not like the pho or the amount of onions in the shrimp fried rice - Pricing is a little on the higher end of typical pho bowls - They wanted to charge me $2 extra for pho Tai Bo Vien since they only serve it as meatball (Bo Vien) or steak (Tai Vien) and not as the very common meatball w/steak! SIDE NOTE: They refunded me the $4 charged for 2 bowls of meatball pho w/steak after I noticed it on the bill. Unfortunately, I had already paid with my credit card, so they gave it back to me in cash. FINAL THOUGHTS I thought the pho was great! But then again I was in a mood for something different and they certainly delivered. My family, on the other hand, was looking for that traditional taste we all love and did not find the pho here to be to their liking. My older of my two youngest sons doesn't like pho nearly as much as the rest of the family, so he ordered the fried rice. The flavor was amazing, but he thought there were too many onions and cut too large. I love onions, so I had no problem finishing what he didn't want. 3.5-stars overall. 2016/64 read more

Not bad! Friends and I stopped into Green Basil on a Friday evening and were skeptical at first, because the restaurant was fairly empty. When we took our seats in the booth, we all commented on how big they were. You can easily fit 4 people per side. I ordered the Green Curry with Chicken, which came with a salad, for just over $9. There was nothing special about the salad, topped with a ginger dressing, but I have to say, the salad bowl was pretty fancy (pics below). The Green Curry was pretty tasty. The curry itself was slightly creamy, slightly spicy with strips of white chicken breast that were tender along with green/red peppers, onions and your choice of fried or steamed rice (I got fried). The sample sizes of the dishes are good for their price, as one friend and I mentioned that the medium pho was slightly pricey, until they bought out the monstrous medium bowl Customer service was just fine, sometimes a little over eager, as about 4 people stopped by to ask how the food was, but i'd rather they be more present than absent. Green Basil has been open for about 3 weeks now, located in the Horizon Village Shopping center near Movie Tavern, so you'll never have an issue with parking or getting in/out of the area. I like Green Basil, and hope they stick around. Please check them out if you're in the area. read more

Green Basil - Green curry chicken with fried rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

I've been thinking about trying this place for weeks now and finally I had a chance today to try them out at lunch. The place is fairly big compared to other Vietnamies / Thai places, very very clean, nice ambience and has that cozy feeling because of dark wood. Wait staff was very efficient and friendly. They have a variety of dishes, and drinks. I went with lunch special, that comes with Salad OR Roll. I went with Salad. I also ordered Grilled Chicken Rolls, just for the heck of it ;-) Nothing special about the salad, but I must say all the ingredients were fresh and lettuce leaves were crispy / crunchy. I loved the ginger dressing......perfectly balanced. 5/5 for Salad, because the salad bowl was fancy. Then came fresh rolls.....on a nice, contemporary, clean, white dish......see the picture below. That's called presentation!! Nothing special about rolls, whatsoever. No taste, no flavor and no aroma (usually you can taste fresh basil at other places)......anyways, for $3.95, just the presentation makes it up. Finally, my General Tso's chicken came with fried rice (+$1.00). Again, the plate it was served on was awesome. The food itself was around 3.5 stars range. Better than other places, but still missing that "awe"somness. Overall assessment: For $8.00 lunch special, at such a nice place, fancy serving plates, friendly and efficient staff, and average food, I would definitely go again and would recommend to others too! read more

I drove by this place a few months ago because I saw the sign but it wasn't open (yet) at the time; I was wondering if it was a place that had closed down or if it was going to open soon. I saw that it was finally open so I decided to drop by for dinner. I was warmly greeted and seated in a huge booth that could probably fit 6-8 people. When you first walk in to the restaurant, the cashier is to the right by the door, there is a bar on the right side, and the left side is filled with tables and booths. The waiter was very sweet: he and another waitress served me and they took my orders quickly and brought out my food quickly. The waiter was friendly and he even asked me to help promote their restaurant since it was new and empty (it really was!). Their menu seemed to be a mixture of Vietnamese and Thai food, which isn't uncommon. I decided to order the combination pho (#16) and I also ordered fresh spring rolls. The pho was good and the spring rolls were also good but they're not the absolute best thing I've ever had in my entire life. I found a tiny piece of very brown cilantro among the green ones. I didn't make a big deal out of it, just tossed it on a napkin, but I do hope that they will check their condiments a little more carefully. I would definitely go back and try their other dishes and give them more chances since the restaurant is new in the area. I hope to see them do well in the business! read more

Cute restaurant located in the same shopping center as the Suwanee Movie Tavern. I've dined in and ordered takeout. Really friendly service with both experiences. It's listed as a Vietnamese restaurant on Yelp, but you'll find some Chinese and Thai dishes on the menu as well. The first time I ate here, I dined in. When I walked in, I immediately noticed how cute it was inside! I came around lunch time, and they do have lunch specials Mon-Fri until 3pm. I ordered the Honey Sesame Chicken lunch special. You get your choice of brown, steamed white, or fried rice and either a salad or a fried veggie roll. I went with fried rice and the veggie roll. I'd say the sesame chicken is better than what you would get with your typical Chinese takeout. I also ordered an iced coffee with condensed milk. It was okay, but I probably wouldn't order it again. I like it much better at other places...seemed watered down or something here. When I got takeout, I ordered the Shrimp and Pork Fresh Rolls, Pho Tai, and Spicy Basil Chicken. I ordered prior to going and the lady on the phone was really nice and told me to give them about 10 minutes. The Shrimp and Pork Fresh Rolls were okay, but were mostly filled with noodles...like A LOT of noodles. The pho was also just okay for me. It tasted off, like the broth was lacking that normal pho flavor. I had a few bites of the Spicy Basil Chicken. I'm not a fan of spicy and I could easily tolerate it. The flavor wasn't bad, but nothing amazing either. read more

This Vietnamese restaurant is new on the block but you would never know it! The service is impeccable, the dishes are beautifully plated, the ambience is elegant, and the food is delish! They also have dishes you would expect to see in a Thai or Chinese joint, like sesame chicken or spicy basil chicken. These taste similar but not the same exactly. Still delish though! My oldest daughter had chicken pho. My youngest child was less interested in being adventurous and opted for thai chicken fried rice. They both loved their meals! The booths are high and private. The lighting is dim, but not TOO dim. There is a separator wall between the booths and tables which combined with the high booth walls creates an intimate feeling. I would recommend this place for a date or family dinner. read more

Green basil offers a simple yet rich flavors for their thai dishes. They focus on making it light without too much cream or oil, yet do not lose out on flavor. The price point is reasonable too. We ordered their panang curry and friend rice , good flavor. read more

My husband and I both love Green Basil. We have ordered take out from here for the past 2 years, and they have never failed to disappoint. We either will call and pick it up or order through Uber Eats. We love the honey sesame chicken, orange chicken, crab rangoon, steamed dumplings, and pho. They are always so quick to prepare the food and alter the items as needed. read more

I love this place for Pho, Singapore noodles, and traditional Asian dishes. I am unsure about their fried fish and I have tried their wings which were ok. But the Asian dishes are always fresh and hot. read more

The reviews are correct...the meat is questionable at best. Nothing authentic about this place. Oversalting is the only flavor they seem to know. Beware of fees when ordering as well. The menu cost is not the cost you pay when you pick it up read more

I was very pleasantly surprised by Green Basil. We needed a place my vegetarian parents could eat so we wound up at GB. The inside is very nice and the servers are quite friendly. The spring rolls are all so delicious. I would go just to eat those. So yummy peanut sauce. The only issue I had was that my whole family had curry items and I got pho...the pho came out way later than all the other items and everyone was basically done by the time I started. read more

I crave their Thai coconut chicken soup! Their shaky beef and orange chicken are our go to orders. Great food and location.

I rarely post a review but this place is really yummy! I've been living in Lawrenceville for about 4 years now and just cannot find an authentic place to get my Vietnamese food fix. I absolutely loathe Saigon Cafe around here. However, Green Basil got it right! They not only have Vietnamese food, but Thai as well. Husband got pho, which isn't as authentic as the ones on Buford Hwy. but it was still pretty good. I got chargrilled chicken and shrimp with a lot of rice noodles. It was delicious & FRESH. The fish sauce accompanied with my meal was on point. They could've been a bit more attentive as far as service, but they did refill our drinks and were overall friendly. The place was nicely decorated with booths and tables. There's also a large bar to the side. This is also a family friendly establishment. It has a 100 & I can see why because it's super clean! I would definitely come back! I am so happy that there's something like this less than a mile from me so I don't have to drive to Pleasant Hill or Buford Hwy. for yummy Vietnamese food! Next time I'll try their Thai entrees. read more

Pho was good nice size medium bowl ($7.95)that really filled me up .Broth was fine with a scanty plate of fixings that could have been more plentiful & fresher. I would have tried one of the specials but wasn't brought up to my attention, i only saw when i was leaving . Staff is very hospitable, passive ambiance, nothing unique on the menu that i was able to notice, but would go back for lunch on a hungry lazy day :) read more

If you are looking for a Thai food spot I DO NOT recommend this place at all. As soon as we walked into this dump which is located next to movie tavern I was very disappointed with the lady at the front desk. They close and 11pm and we got there at 10:30 she kept saying we close at 11pm it was obvious she did not want to seat us and wanted to close up. We eventually sat down then she told us to hurry up and order. We didn't even get a chance to look at the menu so we ordered and I'm telling you the worst experience I had. I ordered the Coconut Chicken soup and let me tell you this soup looked like I was drinking milk with some cilantro. It had no flavor and 2 small pieces of chicken with some big ass slices of mushrooms. My friend ordered the Thai fried rice and he orders it Thai Spicy, which is the highest spice level they have. When they brought it out it looked like white rice with some veggies around it. NO SPICES at all. I will never step foot in this place ever again. I recommend y'all hit up Thai of Norcross (look it up) you can thank me later. read more

Great food! And they did a cool revamp during COVID so now there's a pickup window! I'd recommend their honey garlic wings, the fried rice, and any bowl of Pho on the menu. Also try their shakes and smoothies! You can't go wrong with Thai tea! read more

This place was my favorite for YEAR! but I can tell that the quality of the food it is not the same at all, makes me sad because this place was sooo good! I really hope they improve their quality. I'm decently not spending my money on pour quality food. Last time I ordered General Chicken and it was more breading then meat. read more

Just ordered takeout at 7:40pm on a Saturday night, food was exceptional! All orders were correct and cooked to perfection, Coconut soup consistency was perfect(it can vary). Crab Rangoon was a little under cooked but easily fixed w a few min in the oven, both entrees great- General Tso and vegetable parang curry. read more

It's turned into a fast food restaurant. Don't think I will be going back. I used to like going there. Order at a counter, food served on a tray in styrofoam containers with plastic utensils. The food was good though. I realize COVID and everything but.... read more

My hubby and I tried this place based on other yelp reviews. So it started off a bit rough....it took several minutes for someone to come and seat us, which we weren't crazy about. The restaurant was very clean (100 health inspection score) and modern. They have a very extensive menu with a ton of great options at very reasonable prices. We ordered the spicy basil chicken and honey sesame chicken and a couple of appetizers. We were not AT ALL disappointed! The food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. The portion sizes were huge and the food was presented very nicely. We will definitely be regulars! Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was the service. Not bad but it could be improved. The food more than made up for it! read more

You want to eat here. You can tell the people actually care about the food they put out. It's absolutely delicious. I declare the General Tsos Chicken is the best I have ever experienced.

Just great food. read more

Just moved and wanted to eat something so we ordered pho, fried rice, boba, and orange peel chicken via ubereats. I even requested extra cutlery because we didn't have any and.......they didn't send any- they also did not send any Sriracha/Worcester sauce....... The fried rice was disappointing. It didn't have any vegetables. Just rice and a scramble of egg and it was extremely light on flavor. Pho portion was nice but the soup itself also lacked flavor. And without the extra sauces, it was extremely bland. The orange peel chicken was also disappointing. There was too much orange peel that sat in the sauce for too long so it actually made the sauce really bitter for the ones that were doused in the sauce. The boba on the other hand? It was good. I'm not sure if this place had a bad day or what. Seeing how many good reviews there are- I might give this place another try with completely different items. read more

The shrimp pho has no flavor and the fried pork spring rolls taste nasty. Which was disappointing because I love those from other Vietnamese places. And also, on google it says this place closes at 10p.m which is not true. The lady at the restaurant told me the place closes at 9:30. Was my first time going today and my last. read more

It's hard to find a place that has a side of pho soup (just the soup) on the menu. I don't like noodles but I just wanted some soup. So I decided to order lunch here. 32 oz to go cup of pho for like $2. I ordered the lunch special Mongolian beef and basil chicken. Mongolian beef was really good but portion was very small. (Maybe bc I got togo) I like that they don't charge extra for brown rice. Most of the lunch crowd tends to be like construction workers or moms with kids. (I guess maybe because it is kind of middle of suburbs) I really enjoyed the soup. (It's not the best pho I've had but def good enough) I have enough to last like a week. The basil chicken was not that good. Very bland. Needed more salt or some flavor. I still ate it. The salad that came with the lunch was also bleh. Only because the lettuce they put in it is whole and not chopped up. (Why would I want two long leaves as my salad- very unappetizing looking) dressing was yummy. read more

I visited Green Basil because I was in the area and it was rated highly. The restaurant is very clean and has good seating. The service is really good. We had a very friendly and funny waiter. He was very sweet. We ordered fried spring rolls and Pad Thai. The tofu was fried to perfection and the vegetables were very fresh. I've had better Pad Thai. The sauce was somewhat bland. It wasn't anything special. It tasted somewhat sweet and salty but was runny. I also wish there was more peanuts. With the amount given, I couldn't taste it at all. If I'm in the area, I may visit again but wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. read more

This is a great restaurant. Decor is very nice. Simple yet elegant. The Pho is very good. They have a few drink selections but nothing else. Beer and wine. Big booths to fit at least six people. Friendly faces that greet you at the door. I will come back and try something new. read more

Do NOT order the Pad Thai....omg that was the worst thing I've eeeever tasted. My husband and I were starving and came here and we couldn't eat one bite. Tasted like ketchup on noodles. Bleh! Server was really nice though and maybe we just ordered the wrong thing...who knows. read more

Literally the BEST Pho ever!! Enjoy driving 25 minutes each week just to eat the food

Braved the crazy weather today to drive in for a to-go order. It's about a 30 minute drive from our house, but worth it. My wife had the Shaky Beef, and I had the Pad Thai; both were good, although the Pad Thai was different than any other Pad Thai dish I've had (the noodles were pink in color; perhaps from the chili sauce?). Parking was great, wait staff was helpful and friendly, and prices were reasonable. Decor seemed nice (although I was in and out in a hurry). read more

Large spacious place and well-decorated interior next to cinema. The server was very nice. He was open to talking and letting us know what's good in the kitchen. Since it was our first time we ordered what I thought was a good variety for two. Crab Rangoon tastes crunchy outside and gooey inside. Wings were delicious. I think it was the garlic one. The flavor was on the point and I think the taste was not too overbearing. I liked the vermicelli especially the egg roll for topping. Its always a safe bet for to get vermicelli since the base of a good vermicelli is freshness of ingredients and the noodle. My friend had pho but was disappointed that the soup tasted bland. I thought it wasn't too bad, but I could see where my friend was coming from. The taste felt missing. Something made the taste not as "authentic" (perhaps not the right word). I would come again maybe for something else than the two my friend and I got at the restaruant. read more
