Went here for dinner on a Tuesday around 7 pm and got seated without much wait, which was great…read more One of the best things about this place is that they offer a full vegan menu, which is definitely a big plus. We started with the pumpkin tempura. It was crispy on the outside, with a naturally sweet pumpkin inside. It was really delicious. It came with a dipping sauce, though the portion felt quite small. The side of lettuce and a chunk of purple cabbage felt a bit odd presentation wise, but once we wrapped everything together and dipped it, it tasted great. For my main, I ordered the vegan herb tofu salad with medium spice. It was mostly fried tofu tossed in a herb dressing with mint, tamarind, and cilantro. The flavor was a mix of sweet, spicy, and tangy. It honestly reminded me a bit of pani puri. That said, the sweetness was a bit overpowering and made the dish slightly sticky. If they toned that down, it would be perfect. We also tried the vegan 17th curry fried rice, which was good. The curry flavor was subtle. My toddler absolutely loved it. Overall, I would recommend this place, especially for vegans. The food was good, with the only downside being that some dishes leaned a bit too sweet for my taste. The service was okay, not exceptional, but not bad either. I had visited this place about three years ago on a busy Friday night and had a pretty poor service experience, so I wanted to give it another shot on a weekday. The food has improved, and the service was decent this time around.

Basil Bistro -- A Fundamental Failure in Service and Execution…read more Rating: (1/5) A bowl of pho is one of the simplest dishes to execute well, but it also happens to be one of the easiest to ruin if timing is ignored. Unfortunately, my experience at Basil Bistro was defined not by the broth or the ingredients, but by a complete breakdown in service and quality control. If I could give this experience zero stars, I would. Ambiance - 2/5 The restaurant itself is clean and casual, with the atmosphere of a typical neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant. Unfortunately, any positive first impression quickly disappeared once the service issues began. Authenticity - 2/5 Pho is built around balance--a fragrant broth, fresh herbs, tender meat, and most importantly, noodles that retain their texture. Timing is an essential part of the dish. When that timing is ignored, the integrity of the entire bowl is lost. Flavor - 1/5 I waited approximately 20 minutes for a single bowl of pho, yet no one checked on me or provided any update. When I finally asked where my food was, the bowl appeared almost immediately. Unfortunately, it became obvious what had happened. The noodles had clearly been sitting submerged in the broth for an extended period. They were so overcooked that they were beginning to fall apart with my chopsticks. As someone who appreciates properly prepared pho, this completely ruined the dish. A great bowl of pho should have noodles with a pleasant bite--not noodles that have disintegrated from sitting too long. Service - 1/5 This was easily the most disappointing part of the visit. No one acknowledged the delay. No one apologized. No one explained what happened. No one came by to check if the food was okay. Instead, the food was simply placed on the table as if nothing had occurred. Mistakes happen in every restaurant, but what separates a good restaurant from a poor one is how those mistakes are handled. In this case, there was no accountability whatsoever. Cost - 1/5 Regardless of the price, paying for a bowl of pho that had effectively become inedible due to poor timing is unacceptable. The value simply wasn't there. Final Thoughts Restaurants occasionally have busy days, and delays are understandable. What isn't understandable is serving a bowl of pho that has been sitting long enough for the noodles to become mush, while offering no explanation or apology. Hospitality begins with communication. Quality begins with knowing when a dish should and should not leave the kitchen. Unfortunately, Basil Bistro failed on both counts.

I liked the pickled veggies they put in it to add some more flavor. The vermicelli bowl was huge and packed with veggies, noodles, pork and an egg roll. It also comes with fish sauce and crushed peanuts to put on top. It was delicious and I really liked the grilled pork. I recommend this dish. We will definitely be ordering from here again.
