    Pretty spacious, clean, modern Vietnamese restaurant. Very delicious food and good service. We got bo luc loc and seafood. It was very delicious. Highly recommend this Vietnamese restaurant.

    Newly remodeled space and it looks fantastic. Was I a little disappointed by the minimal Christmas decor... yes I was but the food was still fantastic as ever. We actually make spring rolls for Christmas every year but this year we weren't going to have as many guests and decided to make it easy and order instead. Saigon Basil did an amazing job and we still had our "traditional" dinner without the prep and cooking!

    Saigon basil appetizer
    Hannah C.

    Been coming here for over 10+ years and food and service is always . Staff is very friendly and helpful. Ordered the Saigon Basil appetizer dish ($36.95), came with more than enough food for 2 ppl...grilled pork, chicken, shrimp fried paste, egg rolls and usually veggies for spring rolls.

    Food here is absolutely delicious and abundant! We have been here a two or three times before, but it had been a few years now since the last time. The restaurant is always busy, but service is pretty fast, especially if you know what you are ordering. This time around my husband had a steak soup, and the medium size was more than enough for him. I ordered a steak lemon salad and it was ginormous, I think I was only able to eat a third of it. It had so much meat!!!! The dressing was fantastic, with the perfect amount of spice for me. It is also very clean, and spacious. Well priced too!

    Combination special noodle bowl

    Walked in and the place was clean and bright with quiet, peaceful music- all great things! I ordered the special noodle bowl that had beef, pork, shrimp, chicken and egg roll. It came with the usual cucumber, pickled carrot and radish but also came with bean sprouts and peanuts as well (I asked for no peanuts). The meat was incredible! So flavorful and a decent portion which made a perfect noodle to meat ratio. My bf loved the pho and I did too, the broth was piping hot and was mild, no strong anise flavor like some I've had other places. Finally the boba- yum! Sweet but not syrupy. The service was quick and kind, which I appreciated. I'll be back soon!

    Pho #3

    Newly updated and new management, same management team as the Hot Pot Spot on 136th. They remodeled and ripped out the old carpet and put in new flooring. The pho was tasty but definitely noticed the pho toppings/meat was less than the pho with the last management. Maybe they are still trying to find their groove but the bowls are smaller than before too. Service is great and overall great experience.

    Saigon basil has still got it this is my go to for Vietnamese food hands down.the ambiance has enhanced from last year I like that they are updating it slowly it looks cleaner and beautiful, service is always great we did have a little miss communication but we got it taken care of and they were great about fixing it, no I'm not sharing what happens it's not relevant. I love to order the appetizer #75 it is more then enough for a full meal for me it comes with pork egg rolls, rice noodles with peanuts and green onions on top, lettuce leaves, cucumber,fresh basil, bean sprouts, fresh mint, tomato, pickled carrots and radish, and fish oil sauce which I don't like so I don't put it on it. I am not sure how to eat these but I make like a taco is the best way to explain it and use soy sauce as my sauce refreshing and DELICIOUS!! I will always come back for these.

    I had heard before getting in that I would need to get Vietnamese food in Denver, and that Saigon Basil was a go-to for many. I wasn't disappointed! I got in late due to a delayed flight, and called to see if I could still get food. The staff were very accommodating and let me place a pickup order near closing time. The woman in the phone was very helpful in picking something despite me not having read the menu. When I actually got the food, I was pleasantly surprised by both the quality and the quality I received. Everything tastes amazing, and the recommended mixed noodle bowl was spot on. Summer rolls were hefty and delicious too - they could be a small lunch on their own for some. I'm always more than happy to visit more unassuming spots with authentic, no frills cuisine!

    Combination beef pho
    Melissa L.

    Came here for dinner on our way back to Denver from the Rocky Mountain national Park. This restaurant is huge and packed for dinner on a Tuesday night. We ordered the spring rolls, pork chop rice plate and my husband got a combination pho. Portion sizes were HUGE!!! This is an out of town review so I'm not sure if this is a Denver portion size or just this restaurant portion size but my husband and I were amazed how big the portion sizes were for the price. I love the spring rolls and the sides that came with it. The mint added such a nice fresh element to the bite. Still can't believe I got two big pieces of pork chop with my meal. Pork chops were a little thick, but still tender. My husband was not able to finish his pho which is a rarity. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is craving Vietnamese food. Overall 4.6/5

    Be prepared for A LOT of food. Extensive menu. Good service and food was good also. Easy to fine with a huge sign out front. Was busy at 4 in the afternoon!

    If you're up in Westminster area and you have a craving for Vietnamese food, Saigon Basil is the best choice in this area. Even on a Monday evening, it was quite busy. This is a pretty big space so there's plenty of seating. Staff is quite attentive and food comes out pretty quick. The recommended dishes: the 3 treasure drink (Che bac mau) and the appetizer platter and the Bo luc lac. So delicious. The appetizer spring roll platter comes with a lot of food so definitely an item to share with the group. It comes with a nice amount of rice paper as well. The Bo luc lac comes with a lot of meat that just sits on top of lettuce with rice on the side. The 3 treasure drink is such a nice dessert. Also if you want something to drink, get the fresh lemonade. The skips: wings. The wings were sad and lack flavor. No seasoning whatsoever. I wish they were like garlic butter wings or fish sauce wings. Skip it.

    I just had dinner here last night and it was amazing as always! My family and I usually order the Saigon appetizer dish which is HUGE and usually fills us up. We like it because you can make your own spring rolls and it is packed with veggies. We also got the Bo luc lac tonight and the sauce was perfect! The atmosphere is very casual but the perfect spot to dine with friends and family and share family style. The service is always great and it's definitely one of my favorite spots to get Vietnamese food north of Denver.

This is my family & I 2nd time here in Denver and after finding this place the 1st visit we make it a point to come to this location. We're located in Georgia so I think we have a good sense of good Chinese. I always get the Mongolian beef with fried rice (no egg; I'm allergic) My husband always gets the General Tso chicken with the fried rice and he ALWAYS orders this and never has a complaint. My son gets the Sesames chicken also with fried rice and it's sweet and crunchy as they fry the chicken to mix in their sauce and it's worth every penny. Every time! Service sometimes can be short in communication but expected especially when they're working all day and don't have time to eat but their food never misses! It's never crowded or busy when we come no matter the time of day, never noisy always sit at a booth. I highly recommend this place I will always come here when visiting Denv

    Not my favorite dim sum place but still yummy!…read more There's a large parking lot shared with the surrounding businesses. The venue itself is kind of small, but they are able to accommodate a party of 10 last minute so that was nice. I had never been to this location, but my friend lives in the area and says he goes frequently. When we first arrived, they were kind friendly and greeted us immediately. They were able to see us at their largest table. My friend then placed all of the orders because he knew what we all liked and what they had on the menu already. The food came out in waves, which was nice so we got a chance to eat a little bit of everything at a time instead of being overwhelmed with everything all at once. The temperature of the food was great! Hot and fresh :-) the seasoning could've been a little better. My friend said some of the "spicy" food was not very spicy. My friend who suggested it said that tonight wasn't their best night though as well. He said he's been before and it was great while tonight's food was just mediocre. I would definitely be willing to give them another try, but it is a little far from where we all live so it might be a while till we head back. The service was amazing though, very friendly, very attentive and very kind.
