Bimibap and winter melon
Kristy S.

Nice open clean place with wine bar. Seat yourself and eventually someone will come by. Saturday lunch only 1 staff waiting tables so service is slow. I ordered the winter melon tea (super sweet. They can't adjust sugar level) and my daughter had matcha tea (super sweet). She had the chicken Banh mi. She liked it. I had the bimibap. I didn't like it. Huge plate but no flavor. It has an overcook egg, meat, lettuce on rice. It needed cucumbers, carrots and kimchi for a kick. I added soy sauce (they come in packages) and sate and red pepper to help. No sriracha or generic sriracha.

Saigon Basil offers a spacious and comfortable dining environment. I had heard many positive reviews about this restaurant, but unfortunately, when I tried it myself, the flavors did not live up to my expectations.

Dirty mop bucket water in plain view in dining area. Not the first time this was here with dirty water.

This place has really good food. But the cleanliness the last couple times is gross. Our table was not very clean and everything was sticky and even found a few hairs sticking to items at our table. Not to mention the last 2 times you walk in and it smells of cleaning products. When I eat I don't want to smell Fabulosa. Also, both times right outside the restroom/part of the eating area there was a tub of dirty water in the mop bucket. Ain't no way that nasty water was getting anything remotely clean. Also, bathrooms were dirty and one didn't even have toilet paper. Staff is hit or miss on friendliness. Food is always good I just wish they would keep it clean.

To be honest this is the worst pho I've ever had. First, they don't provide a plastic bowl for the noodle. So how am I supposed to eat it when I am in work. The answer they gave me was that usually you buy it home and use a bowl from your kitchen. Hahahahah. Who takes a bowl to work? And then they asked me to put the noodle into the container that is full of soup. Hahaha. Really bad experience.

Within in great driving distance from my house, yet today's ( Thursday) experience was not the best. I am curious when did Vietnamese egg rolls started coming with another sauce instead of fish sauce. Also, usually you would get enough lettuce for 4 egg rolls but are that bad off that I only got once slice and a small size to eat with 4 egg rolls. Its discouraging when your paying $5.95 + tax And you purchase two orders. Another thing I want to address is the customer service. I understand one of the workers had limited knowledge pf the English language. However, I believe the person who was in charge could have done a better job problem-solving the situation especially if you are the manager in charge. Perhaps more customer service training in troubleshooting situation with orders and customers. Although, I like the food I might have to think again it if I want to return.

The food is good, I've been a total of three times so far and I have good service. Place is chill and have good serving sizes. I come here for a quick meal.

I read on Nextdoor that they use MSG in their food. Does anyone know if this is true?

Nope not true. Very good food.

I went in the front one bc I thought there was two bathrooms and the front one was slightly open... There's only one bathroom fyi. Now on to the food. I wasn't too hungry so I ordered something small. The honey chicken bite was amazing. It was a toasted bread with crispy and juicy meaty chicken, with a slight hint of honey butter on the inside. The chai was very creamy but I would prefer stronger tea flavors. The patty meal was so good and dense. Also, they were super fast on bringing out our food.

You walk up to the front and you order which is really easy inconvenient. The staff was nice but not over friendly at all. And when you asked for something extra, they made you feel like you were bothering them. To me that is not good customer service My friend got the double meat Rodeo burger and I got the regular cheeseburger. We both got the combo which came with french fries and a drink. Our order took about 12 minutes to be completed and they called our number and we picked it up. We did have to ask for a fork and napkins as they were not out or available for us. At first look, everything looked really good so I was really excited to try this. Unfortunately, the burgers were super greasy. I personally do not enjoy eating a burger and grease running down my arms. That is just my personal opinion, but the burgers were really greasy. The french fries tasted stale and not very fresh. They were edible, but I would've liked to have had fresher french fries that were really fresh. The drink drinks were actually very good and very fresh and perfect on the combination of syrup and carbonation. I think I would possibly try this establishment again and try their hotdog, but as for the burger, they were way too greasy and weren't anything real special.

Patty's Bakery and Bistro was my latest find after a short search for a great breakfast. I was…read morepleasantly impressed to find that a bakery had a menu that offered such a selection covering breakfast and lunch items. The location of the restaurant is not immediately visible from the Main Street. It was tucked away on the rear of a building creating a little challenge to find. My visit was during a weekday morning and no other patrons were inside. A completely empty restaurant is usually a cause for concern for me. Patty's is set up for orders at a counter in the back of dining room then take a number to the table for delivery. The dining room is very bright and simply decorated but spacious for a bistro. I ordered the Grandma's Morning Casserole and it was a solid 5/5 with great quality sausage and bacon. Everything about the dish is near perfect, especially the tasty crispy tater tots. My request for a croissant with the breakfast was honored and it was delicious. This gave me idea to check out more baked good from the showcase. I purchased a carrot cake to go and later wished I had bought two. The cake wasn't the traditional style with nuts and shredded carrots. Instead, the cake was the consistency of pound cake that came covered in a rich chocolate drizzled over the top. Perhaps, I got lucky with my first impression but I'm eager to give them another opportunity to repeat the great experience.

Such a nice looking cafe. When you first walk in there is a bright elegance to the place. Their…read moresignage outside & their website only says "Patty's Bakery" but they are so much more than a bakery! Don't miss that they are a "Bistro" also. The cashier/barista Laura was so friendly and we enjoyed talking to her. You order at the counter, water is self service from a water station and the food is delivered to your table. I was here for Saturday brunch & got the "special omlette" with ham substituted for the prosciutto. The ham is deli-type ham. The omelette was very flavorful & tasty, however, definitely thinner than I am accustomed to eating. It did not come with any bread option or side item so make sure you look at the breakfast side items (only located on the Saturday/Sunday brunch menu, not the main menu) or ask about side items. I don't have a large appetite & I must admit I was still a little hungry. I inquired about bread after I finished & they offered to bring me some toast but I was already done eating. I had a bite of hubby's breakfast sausage & croissant. I'm not a big sausage person but the sausage tasted smoky with a hint of sweetness and it was yummy! The croissant was also buttery & good. I'd add that to my omelette order next time. Of course we had to try some sweets since there were so many options. We got the carrot cake; it's Brazilian style, which differs from the standard American version. The cake had carrots only, no nuts, a little less sweet, pound cake-like consistency and topped with chocolate. I enjoyed it! I also got a chocolate cake slice to-go. It's super rich with chocolate filling layers made with condensed milk. A bit too rich for me but I'm sure others will love it. They also have coffee drinks and they are setup to do the basics drinks (mocha latte, cappuccino, etc) without all the syrup flavors. I ordered a cortado. Although it is not on their menu, the barista gladly said she would try to do her best. I provided directions on the espresso to milk ratio for a cortado & she absolutely nailed it. The coffee was robust & without the traditional vanilla syrup available, a little brown sugar added made the drink great. I will definitely return. I'll try their lunch menu next time.

I really wanted a fried chicken sandwich but they only have grilled chicken sandwiches. They offered to use chicken tenders but I declined and went with a burger instead. Ketchup is kept cold. I like that. Bacon cheeseburger was fine. The burgers appear to be frozen patties. The bacon was salty and cooked well, not too crispy and not floppy. The lettuce was shredded, could've used more. They put both mayo & mustard on their burgers. The hickory burger was ok. You couldn't really taste the bbq sauce. Tots were cooked extra crispy. Luckily that's how I like them but most customers probably would've preferred less crispy; like my husband. The crinkle fries were also a little too crispy for husband. Not too crispy for me. Overall the meal wasn't bad. It's what you'd expect for a small family grill. Fairly priced for the economy we are in. Two combo burger meals ran us $30.

I am very picky about my coffee so it's always hard to find a good coffee place. I like my coffee unsweet and actually taste like coffee. This place serves it sweet. So if you like that, this place is perfect for you. The banana matcha latte was great. Overall i would say this place has potential. But would address your customer service issue if you want to satisfy your customers.

Other honorable mentions: philly cheese subs (both beef and chicken, depending on your preference), beef kabab wrap, crispy chicken burger, and you must absolutely get their fries to share (or not to share, whatever floats your boat). Honestly, haven't had any issues with any of their entrees. Just a tip that fries actually are crispier if you dine-in instead of taking to-go. They also have catering service, which is great for when hosting for my Muslims friends and knowing everything I order from Busy Boy's are halal. I haven't tried their crepes but my friends love it here and always recommend it. There was a time over the Summer when I would randomly find hair but I realized it's one of the workers who kept scratching his head with food-prepped gloves. Haven't had any issues lately since then but just a headsup. I've been coming here for years and it's really a good option if you want food that doesn't take forever, halal, and just laid back atmosphere. Just please clean up after yourself to clear the table for the next guest. If you ever get a combo (with fries and a drink), I highly suggest the lemon-lime at their soda fountain but just try a bit of everything if it's your first time.
