Very tasty pho and vermicelli noodles. Great beef and broth, and grilled pork. Very generous portion sizes too. Didn’t expect to find such a great Vietnamese place in north Washington.

Stopped for a quick lunch. Greeted and seated very quickly at a table with chairs. Most of the previous restaurant booths are gone, which is too bad because I enjoy a booth. Ordered a Thai iced tea and a bahn mix with pork. Drink arrived first, sandwich quickly followed. Really nice sized sandwich with a lot of great flavor. Really enjoyed it. Service was slow to bring the check, but could be partly because of where I was seated. Reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.

I had a long day and this was my only meal and it was right before closing which I did not know because so many people were there. They treated me very well and the food was fantastic! I was quite surprised to see how well plated everything was. The large Pho was huge but so good. The place was really clean and friendly. Definitely recommend eating here.

I had a delightful experience at Basil Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine! The pho soups were excellent, and I highly recommend trying the steak, brisket, and flank options. The crab rangoon appetizer was out of this world! The service was friendly and quick, adding to the overall positive dining experience

Two of us had a good dinner here. We were seated immediately and the waiter walked us through our options. They have a Chinese menu and a Vietnamese menu. We ordered Vietnamese and had the chicken wings and pho soup. The food came out quickly and the manager was super happy to answer questions. Pho broth is unique to each chief. This was good though a bit mild. Ingredients in the pho were good. The fried chicken was crispy and the sauce was great. Do ask for the house made chili oil. It is great and more mild than most but lots of flavor.
