Basilic Vietnamese Grill

The Great: food and prices. The most expensive plate is only 18 dollars
The Good: Location, a bit hard to find location
The Bad: Right now is popular so get ready to wait 30 to 45 minutes to have a seat. Do not sit close near the entrance. There is a lot of traffic and they will open the door at least 20 times before you finish your meal.
The secret: They dont have sea food phở on the menu but they actually serve a great one.

Vietnamese Pancake is soooooooo good! Very yummy! I will be back! Try the fresh spring rolls too!

Very fresh clean flavors. Having lived in California for years I am happy to have found this place. The prices are a little high but the place is bright and clean and the quality is very good. Try the seafood egg noodle wonton soup.

I found a phở restaurant that I really enjoyed (see my other review), but my brother-​in-​law mentioned this place as being the best he’s ever had. I didn’t think I would find anything better but I’m always willing to try.
This place is tiny. Be prepared to wait. But the wait is worth it. Their shrimp crackers are not as flavorful as the other place. They’re good but not quite as good. But when the phở arrived, the broth was amazing. The flavor is incredible.
Parking is tricky, especially during the dinner hour (and on a Friday night), but not impossible. And well worth the effort.

I saw they have a good rate… then I decided to go there with my husband. They were busy and I saw they had more big party waiting but in the restaurant was full… when we have meal the noodle were super dry the meat also… i put the sauce on top … It was dry even I couldn’t feel the sauce I did put … It went through the bottom of the bowl. I feel like they did it too long then just heat it a lil before that go to the customers … I told them that wasn’t good but they just did nothing … I will never come back here

Phở goodness sake this was by far the best phở every! I have pholwn around the would for such soups and this one is photastic! Phot Lauderdale Phở… yum!

I visited this place before its Boca counterpart and I loved it here! There’s a more American twist to this place than the other handful of Vietnamese restaurants in Broward, evident in the décor, setup, and the complimentary shrimp chips (Vietnamese version of bread basket?).
I had the Hue noodles – one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes – and it certainly hit the spot. This is coming from a native who has had it authentically made by Bun Bo Hue specialized spots in Vietnam. The broth was flavorful and the noodles were thick, two key components I look for. Be aware that they do NOT scrimp on the spicy level! I like to tout my spicy-​tolerance as invincible, so I’m telling you, it’s no joke.
Extra positive review for the great staff and friendly owner who came out to meet us!

The place is small but the flavors are huge. Great phu with yummy seasoned broth, and also great hot dishes like BBQ pork fried rice and wok meals. The imperial shrimp and pork rolls were my favorite. AC could use a boost.

Haha, this is one over rated Vietnamese restaurant near the sea
Bad for parking, not really Vietnamese food

To start, great service and many gluten free options. It looks like many people who come here are regulars or just feel welcomed and comfortable to be friendly with the waiters.
We orders the lemongrass noodles with chicken and lemongrass duck. Both portions were very large. We ended up taking some of the noodles to go because the portion was so big. We came in hungry and $ 30 later were completely full with some leftovers.
The duck dish had a lot of flavor and a lot of spice. It came with an interesting sweet relish that complimented the spivey dish nicely. The sauce worked well with the duck and veggies and rice toned it down a bit.
The lemon grass noodles dish was not as potent but still very good. The pasta had a nice texture to it.
Seating is casual with an inviting bar. We liked the rice chips that were served on the table. If you are gluten free and like spicy food, I recommend it!

Love it! Became one of our favorite place for soup. You’ll find phở up to your taste! Light fresh with taste you want. Service is always top notch.

Certainly 5 stars this review will be short and I will tell you why. As far as food and the service this place is the same as the Boca Location which i did a review on. This location is a tab bit smaller than the Boca location but very nice and cozy as the other location. I had the same dishes at both locations and I tell you the chef must divide himself in half and cook at both locations. The dish tasted exactly the same and to say the least it was excellent. Very well prepared, a large portion, both times had to take half home. Trust me it was just as good the next day. Service was excellent both locations but our server at this location was outstanding he was very verse on the menu and after speaking with us and informing him we had the same dish at both locations he gave a few suggestions to try the next time which we will be considering. Definitely, will be returning.

DISAPPOINTED!!! I have been fortunate to travel the world & dine in fantastic restaurants with premium service yet without exorbitant prices.
My experience, food and service, at this «vietnamese» restaurant has left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I ate 2 bites, as did my friend, and we were disgusted & refused to consume anymore. The service was slow & the server rolled her eyes when we politely made an inquiry about a menu item. We boxed our food and gave them to homeless men. I hope they enjoyed it!
NOTE: I WISH THERE WAS A RATING LESS THAN 1 STAR.

I love this impressive little place. The staff is friendly, knowledgable & efficient. The Phở is outstanding; the grilled chicken Phở is my favorite. My husband really enjoys the Seafood Wok-​tossed noodles. Mix in the shrimp chips that they put on the table & hot sake, now you have the perfect meal!
Arrive early during season if you don’t want to wait. Also, allow extra time for parking now as there is construction on Commercial & the side streets that blocked several spots.

8÷24÷15 again went for lunch I can’t seem to get over anything but the Chicken Phở. I’m addicted. Shrimp crisps and all the hot spices For $ 10.50 it’s amazing soup cooks for fourteen hours. It’s so nice and soothing. BUT THE COVERS TO THE JARS THAT ARE ON THE TABLE GROSS GROSS, PLEASE IF IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IN THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE WHATS THE KITCHEN LOOK LIKE. I won’t be able to go any more dirty dinning So sorry love that Phở

I was looking for a Vietnamese restaurant in the area and I’m glad I came across this one. The Phở (meat combination and chicken), was top notch, and the seafood curry was also very tasty. Jimmy was an excellent server and gave great suggestions and tips on what to order.

Been here a hundred times, it’s consistently excellent. I’ve tried all the phở, grilled chicken is some of the best phở ice ever had anywhere. Free, light and crispy shrimp chips are the perfect start to the meal. The shaking beef is also superb but I keep coming back to the phở.
Friendly staff, cute locale, clean and cool ambience.
Only caveats: not lots of parking and they get really busy some nights. Worth the wait though!

Have been to better Vietnamese places…
Not a lot of vegetarian choices.
Service is good however slow.
Food was tasty!

5 stars for the phở, 2.5 for the service.
I get it; it’s a small place and there was a long line on this stormy Sunday night, but that doesn’t mean it’s okay to ignore people who’re seated for too long. And I swear, I have no idea until now who our server for the night was supposed to be.
But the Phở was delish! I’ll give them that; got the grilled beef and it didn’t disappoint!

Went there for the first time with hubby today and not knowing but it was a happy hour, BOGO style. Ordered a Beef Stew soup with rice noodle and it blew my mind!!! So happy didn’t order any appetizers cause portions are huge!!! Husband ordered Shaking Beef and it was truly Devine. Will be coming back for sure.
Food and atmosphere do get 5 starts but the server, Jimmy could loose the attitude and use some personality.

Que comida tan espectacular! Todo lo que probamos estaba delicioso. El restaurante es muy pequeño pero vale la pena esperar!
