Surprisingly good! Our first time. Best Spring Rolls. Awesome Tofu Curry Rice Bowl and Sunny Side Beef Banh Mi. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Table top for two was a little small. Recommended.

It's hard to get a bahn mi to be well balanced and I think this place gets it right. I'm a sucker for ginger chicken and it was great, the pickled veg rocked and the bread (arguably the most important component) was outstanding. Liked the counter style ordering and the tea I got was pretty good, I don't know tea so I got no notes. Nice music too and service was quick.

Great egg roll, good Pho. If I could do 4.5 stars I would, but I always round up. Will be back.

My family and I love this place. It’s a great meet-for-lunch spot, and we frequently get take out food for movie nights. The food is consistently great, and everyone is very friendly. Definitely a winner!

Having a taste for Pho, I decided to check this place out based on their reviews. I'm so glad I did! The Pho was delicious and exactly what I was hoping for but the real magic here is the Báhn Mi sandwiches. I ordered one to go to have for dinner later. However, I took a bite of it and lost all self control. The sandwich was absolutely perfect! I haven't had a Báhn Mi this perfect since San Francisco/San Jose. Knowing that it's only 20 minutes away from hopefully is amazing! The service was quick and smooth. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is very clean, well lit, and inviting. There seemed to be a lot of local people who had also discovered the magic that is Basu. I've been back numerous times since then and plan to continue doing so. This place is amazing!

We ordered carry-out from Basu for the first time back in April this year. I had the beef pho. It should be the signature dish of any Vietnamese eatery, and I had expected the beef to be tender. However, I found the beef quite chewy. I thought it was just a blip, and ordered beef pho again the second time we had the carry-out. Unfortunately, the beef was still quite chewy. So the third time that we had the carry-out, I ordered the ginger chicken pho instead. Turned out to be a good decision. The chicken pho was pretty good. Ever since, when we ordered pho noodle soup, we would just order chicken instead of beef. In addition to the pho, we always order our two favorite items there: crispy pork egg rolls and soy glazed wings, both are crispy and tasty. I must say that the staff are very friendly and the ordering process is efficient. It usually takes only 10 minutes for the carry-out order to be ready. I am curious to hear what other people would say about the beef. Hopefully Basu would improve on the tenderness of the beef, and I could order the beef pho again.

This is the best food I've ever had!! My friend recently started working here and I thought that I'd give it a try. I ordered Shrimp Spring rolls which were amazing (id recommend) and the Sunny Side Beef. The sunny side beef is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I'd 100% recommend eating here. The service is really nice and the store itself its cute and cozy.
