    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?

    Ok. So I've been here multiple times but I've always done takeout & I've always had someone else…read morepick up the order. Well today, I picked up the to-go order. Much to my surprise the inside was quite quaint. There was a couch setup for dining as well as tables. It's very small inside. Although takeout will remain my preference, I could actually dine in & not have an issue. I ordered in advance & my food was ready upon arrival. The worker who gave me my to-go food was friendly. The food is good, as usual! I had the shrimp egg foo young. I find it challenging to find egg foo young on the menu of several of the neighborhood Chinese restaurants so I typically get it when I go here. The egg foo young gravy is a little thicker than I prefer but it works. The 3 egg foo young patties are flavorful & the shrimp inside the patties are pretty large. I feel they do this dish well. I like to pair it with their fried rice. For your basic Chinese cuisine, Dragonz Wok does a good job. They are a place to try if you are in the neighborhood.

    Their sweet and sour chicken was delicious so I went back to try more entrees…read more My shrimp and garlic sauce was watery. Happy family was watery and flavorless. I added soy sauce and all I tasted was the soy sauce. Sesame chicken was ok. The crab Rangoon's simply aren't good. I can't even describe what's wrong but they are terrible. The spring roll was cool with duck sauce. It's hard to find great Chinese food and this will do in a pinch.

    I love a restaurant that offers a variety of veggie options. If you're dining vegetarian, you will…read morehave no problem getting a full meal here. We met up with some friends who are vegetarians and come here a lot. They recommended so many dishes that we didn't need any meat for our evening meal. We ordered sweet and sour veggies, Alings vegetable fried rice, and garlic veggies (that were spicy). If you like spice and garlic, you'd like that one. We also ordered some veggie noodles. The portion sizes are very large, so it was enough to share for four grown people and still have enough to take some home. And the food does not lack flavor! Everything tasted great. And for appetizers we ordered corn soup, hot and spicy soup, and steamed dumplings. The service was great, friendly and efficient. The food does not take long to come out. If you have a large party, this is a great place to go, or for a party of one or two, they have small tables to accommodate as well. There's a full bar, so you can dine at the bar while enjoying a couple of drinks. It's a fusion restaurant between Chinese and Indian. It's a great combination if you like either one.
