    Raw egg roll.

    Raw egg rolls. This place used to be great. But the past 4 or 5 times we ordered from there, anything fried is almost burnt on the outside and hard to chew (I.e., crab puffs).. This is my first experience with a raw egg roll and it not pleasant.

    Curbside pickup. Supporting local business.

    One year later after I discovered this gem of a place and still is my favorite spot to get my comfort food. My favorites are the Chicken Pho- broth is super tasty! Vietnamese egg rolls- sooo good! Vietnamese rice plates- pork, chicken, beef, you name it I love all 3! pork dumplings-gotta have them pan fried! Don't forget your iced Vietnamese coffee! Super strong and super good! Food is always piping hot and fresh.

    I was in Dickinson today and looked for a good local place to have lunch. We have no good Chinese food in Galveston, so I really wanted some. I chose well. The restaurant is clean and well organized. It's very simple, not much of ambiance. Tile floor, simple tables, good lighting. Maybe it's different at night. I ordered one of my favorite things that I can never seem to find: chinese style spare ribs. Those were excellent. I got an order of pork fried rice (fair) and an egg roll (also excellent). I really enjoyed the meal. It was just the right amount of food for me. I chose an iced tea to drink. The service was great and so was the price. Food and tax came to $18 something. I should have gotten something to go. I want more!

    The food is so fresh and not overly sweet like a lot of Chinese food places. They have great customer service and are always friendly.

Arrival was entirely seamless with easy parking available right outside. Stepping inside, the venue presents a modest, understated decor rather than a lavish setting yet it is impeccably clean, wonderfully inviting, and exudes a genuinely warm atmosphere that immediately makes one feel right at home. We were settled into a cozy, private section that offered a perfectly comfortable setting for a relaxed luncheon. The hospitality was top-tier from the moment we arrived attentive, remarkably gracious, and thoroughly professional. To begin, my assistant and I ordered two Thai Iced Teas, which arrived crisp, delightfully smooth, and mixed to absolute perfection. Our lovely waitress spoke so highly of their signature Pho that we simply had to try it. When the bowls arrived, they were an absolute triumph! Piping hot, deeply comforting, and rich with authentic, exquisitely balanced flavors that far exceeded our expectations. While the aesthetic is delightfully simple, the spotless environment, endearing service, and magnificent cuisine make Basil House a true standout. Five stars for an utterly delightful meal I shall most certainly be returning whenever business brings me back through the area

    Came to try Pho Barr for the first time today…read more We ordered the Bò Lúc Lắc on the hot stone plate and the Bún Bò Huế. The Bún Bò Huế lacked the traditional rich flavor I'm used to, but it tasted clean and wasn't oily. It also didn't include the traditional pork blood, but mixing in shrimp paste, lime, fish sauce, and chili helped bring it closer to the authentic flavor. The food stayed hot in the metal bowl which was nice. The Bò Lúc Lắc arrived hot and sizzling, just as advertised. The beef was flavorful and cooked well. One thing to note is that it came with white rice rather than the fried rice shown on the menu description. The food was good, and I'd probably come back, but I'd try a different location because the service at this one was disappointing and ruined the experience. Andrew was very helpful, but the other two employees spent most of the time on their phones with their backs turned toward the dining room, making it difficult to get their attention. We had to get up ourselves to ask for a water refill. While in the middle of eating, one of the girls brought our check and said, "Whenever you're ready, no rush." It felt like we were being rushed out while I was still actively eating and it wasn't busy. What was especially disappointing was that she never asked how our food was or whether we wanted to order anything else before closing out our tab. I had planned on ordering a drink after my meal, but after that experience, I decided I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the service left a lot to be desired. Better hospitality would have made a big difference.

The bread was overcooked and way too crispy. I could barely take a bite, and the crumbs were everywhere. The tofu was bland, but was well cooked, it would have done well with a sort of marinade. I would have preferred some pickled veggies or maybe even more mayonnaise for some taste. I have had some impressive tofu bahn mi before, and this would not be something I would order again. I can appreciate that there was at least an option, though. My friend got the combo plate with chicken, shrimp, and pork, and he thought it was a good taste with large portions. However, trying the pho would really help to make an accurate judgment of the quality of the food at the restaurant. I have friends who rave about the pho here, but the food seems pretty authentic, and I can believe that it is likely very good.

    Attentive staff, standard indoor restaurant noise level and vibe. Nothing special in that respect,…read morebut great meat and noodle portions for all their noodle bowls. Their yummy pho bowl that comes with a whole rib is ridiculously good value. Otherwise standard, average pho establishment.
