We went for dinner. Busy midweek atmosphere but it was comfortable and the waiter was hustling and friendly. I would go and eat there regularly if I was in town!

A wonderful place with an interesting crowd. I like seeing a restaurant filled with people who are actively enjoying their meal. The wait staff runs like a well-oiled machine. The pho is perfect! I can add anything I want to it. And the spring rolls are marvelous. And we had the sticky rice with mango for dessert. That was over the top. All in all always a wonderful experience.

Best Vietnamese restaurant in Albuquerque, hands down. It’s always packed and for good reason. As a Vietnamese person who has eaten pho all over the world and enjoyed it weekly for more than 20 years, I can confidently say the value, menu, and presentation here are unmatched by New Mexico’s standards. The owners have nailed every detail. Try it for yourself with an open mind, you won’t be disappointed.

We love Basil Leaf food, as takeout. The place itself is packed pretty tightly, our group and the table next to us could have swapped stories pretty easily on our last visit. Maybe that's the intent, but it was almost uncomfortable; next time we'll ask for different seating I guess.
Or just keep getting takeout. That's easy, and grandpa really likes the basic pad thai noodles as leftovers, so don't sleep on those huge portions. Everyone else had spring rolls with differing proteins and they seemed pretty happy, my shrimp rolls were tight. I've had other items from the menu in the past, over several years, and the Leaf has never let us down, so 4.7 stars.

My family and I eat at this restaurant frequently. The food is always good and consistent. Friendly staff.

8/28/25 - Ipdated review: this is still a great restaurant in one of my favorites. The way staff is friendly and attentive. The food always comes out relatively quick and hot. The facility is clean and well kept. The food is always delicious.And this continues to be one of our go to restaurants. Picture is of lemongrass, stir fry with tofu. Many great vegetarian and vegan options available. Prices are fair.
