Basil Garden is a local Vietnamese restaurant for the area. It's been part of the neighbourhood for all your typical Vietnamese dishes including: pho, spring rolls, chicken wings, rice and noodle dishes.

This pho restaurant provides a satisfying and comfortable dining experience. We ordered the house special pho and the grilled pork chop and chicken on rice. The portions were generous, offering good value for money.
The taste of the dishes was traditional and authentic, capturing the familiar flavors of Vietnamese cuisine. However, compared to some other places, the overall flavor and depth were not quite as outstanding.
The interior is nicely decorated, new, and clean, creating a welcoming atmosphere for diners. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a hearty and authentic Vietnamese meal, even if it doesn't quite stand out among the very best.

Basil Garden is a cute Vietnamese restaurant. Food was good, not super memorable but it was okay.
The service was a bit slow and servers weren't very attentive even though there were only three other tables being served.
We had to remind the servers for our drinks and for eating utensils on multiple occasions.
Other than that, everything else was fine.

Excellent, hot,prompt food and all detail to flavour including all the little things and more were covered (sauces were covered with fresh herbs, and the broth included fresh basil/scallions ) I consider this one of my trifecta places to eat an authentic traditional flavourful style Phò here In Vancouver 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏Also, the spring rolls were very delicately put together without a greasy flavour and hit every note of a meat and fresh herb spice flavour .. Excellent work keep up the good food . I appreciate your hard work. 🙏🙏🙏 .. As

I ordered takeaway, house special beef soup with hot and cold spring rolls. The soup was lacking in meat and had soft over cooked angel hair noodles. I was very dissatisfied with the bland food, hot rolls were in little bite size over cooked dry pieces and cold rolls equally generic. I don't understand why people give stars here as there are more highly quality Vietnamese restaurants in Vancouver to order from. I would not recommend this place to anyone and will never order again...
Bad service, pho was bland. Wouldn’t recommend coming here, there’s a reason why it’s empty.

First of all, the place is empty—**a warning sign right there.** Then you’ve got staff who can’t be bothered to provide basic service. **Twice for menus? Twice for tea?** That’s not service; it’s a treasure hunt!
And what is the waitress doing with **AirPods in?** Is she taking calls or pretending she’s on *The Voice?* Unacceptable. When you’re serving customers, you leave the gadgets at home and focus on them.
No 'thank yous,' no 'you’re welcomes,' not even a fake smile? **Come on, it’s hospitality 101!**
And Mandarin music? In a Vietnamese restaurant? Are we in the wrong place, or do they just not care? It’s like walking into an Italian joint and hearing mariachi. **Know your identity.**
The final insult: having to go up to pay like it’s some dodgy takeaway joint. No offer of a receipt and no tip-worthy service? **Rightfully so.**
This isn’t a restaurant; it’s a **shambles.** They should take the sign down and call it a self-service café, except even that would be too generous.

Basil Garden is a restaurant specializing in Vietnamese food. It has a small parking lot that is shared with other businesses. The menu is two pages and the price is reasonable at around $13.50 for a regular pho around $14-$15 for a rice / vermicelli dish. Service was quick and we got our dishes within 15 minutes. Taste was a bit bland for the vermicelli as there wasn’t enough sauce. Spring rolls were fine. Food wasn’t very memorable but it was good portions for the price.

The food is good. The beef pho had too much fat. Prices are very reasonable. Overall, a very good lunch time experience.
