Amazing food! Quick service! LOVED the Mango sticky rice! We got there at the perfect time that we were able to be seated quickly. But right after us, it got SO busy! Lots of people on the wait list. But the staff got people in quickly & they were so kind & attentive! I got the combination noodle bowl with chicken, it was delicious & was a HUGE serving. I also got pork spring rolls, & the peanut sauce was 10/10! Their pho broth was also the best I’ve had in a while. The tofu pad Thai could’ve had a little more spiciness, but we added some sauce from the table to it & it was great! The tofu was also cooked Perfect! crispy outside & smooth insides! Can’t wait to go back. Great place!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an incredible experience at Basil Leaf! The pho is hands down the best I’ve ever had — rich, flavorful broth, fresh vegetables, and perfectly cooked ingredients that made every bite unforgettable. The spring rolls were fresh, light, and absolutely delicious as well. What truly made my visit memorable, though, was the exceptional service from Jesus. He is incredibly attentive, welcoming, and genuinely cares about making sure you have a great experience. Jesus has such a positive energy and is truly a memorable guy — the kind of server who elevates your entire meal. Between the amazing food and outstanding service, I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend, and if you can, ask for Jesus!

Hands down one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in town. On my visit I ordered the chicken clay pot rice with a Thai coffee. Beware though the clay pot keeps everything hot throughout the dinner. 10/10 would recommend you to try. In the past I’ve also had their Noodle Bowl & the shrimp/pork spring roll. Also would highly recommend. I haven’t ordered anything bad from here yet. Will always be a returning customer.
