Good food, great flavors, and everything we ordered exceeded our expectations. Called them back and complimented them on a great COUPLE of meals!!! Great to have this side of town.

I ordered the fresh springs rolls with BBQ pork and fresh jalapeno added. It's my absolute favorite thing. It's fresh, spicy and yummy. So, so, so yummy

This is not an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. They are a Chinese owned restaurant and their pho lack any real flavor.

I spent 6 years in S.E. Asia in the 60/70's. Bangkok and Saigon completely seduced me with their food back then. I have been disappointed many times here in the U.S. with attempts at their food but I was not disappointed at Saigon Basil. I would have been even happier if I could have had more types of "street food" but I have never found but 2 places in the U.S. that truly offer such "street food" variety. I recommend communication of your spice and "heat" desires. Their menu descriptions of "heat" are accurate! They will adapt to greater "heat" if you communicate what you want and allow time for the customization. Overall, I could have closed my eyes and dreamed I was back where food was incredible.

Good overall experience. Spicy levels are pretty moderate compared to other places I've been.

Both of our servers were nice. We both had pad Thai dishes, one chicken, one shrimp. Each entrée was overly sauced to the point of being soupy. The sauces were overly sweet, and I strongly suspect they came from a can. What made it worse was the aroma that came from both dishes was reminiscent of dog breath. We couldn't get out of there quick enough.

SO SWEET! I am so disappointed after all the great reviews. I ordered my beef pad Thai medium spicy and I know enough to ask for some chili oil to go. I used the entire (to go) container of chili oil and it was STILL too sweet. No. I would not recommend it for spicy dishes.

We now order to-go, frequently. The curries are perfect, nicely prepared with PLENTY of delicious shrimp; pad thai, the same. They do NOT have a bar, but the service for dine in, has always been adequate.

Really good beef, shrimp and chicken pho. Dicious broth. I'll be back.
I ordered pho on Uber eats and they forgot the main ingredients!! The lime, sprouts, green stuff. Ughhghhhhhhhhhj

The food was good but a little pricey. $13 for the special pho is pricey. The service was good and it wasn't busy.

Honestly, I've only been one time so far. I moved here from California, and since I've been here I have yet to find a good Thai place that is comparable. Hands down, this place set the bar! I love the food! Thank god I found it! I had the G1 on the menu, it's amazing! Just like my fav spot back home! Can't wait to try pho next time! Had the Thai tea with tapioca (it's my favorite drink) it was delicious, however, I would suggest making the tapioca slightly less stick and a tiny bit sweeter. But even if they don't do it, I'll still be back to order it again! Everyone there was very sweet and helpful! Happy to find my new Thai spot!

Was very excited to try based on the reviews. It was just ok. We ordered takeout--sesame chicken, egg rolls, fried rice and crab Rangoon. The chicken was great! Everything else was overwhelming--especially the rice.
