  • Food: 4/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Overall experience: 4/5 (1- Terrible; 3- decent; 5- Fantastic) After a recommendation from a friend, we came here today for some tasty pho. I give this a 4 mostly because of their beef sate noodle soup. MMMM MMMM! Located in a little strip mall with a bright green sign, Basil is not your typical low end, grimy Vietnamese noodle house. It has a fresh, clean decor and plenty of seating for the big lunch rush. Their menu consists of the typical spring rolls and salad rolls as appetizers, noodle soup (pho), and vermicelli. Like most Fine ('westernized') Vietnamese restaurants I've been to, there is only one size bowl/portion, and the prices are slightly more than your average Viet restaurant. It's almost $7 for appetizers, $10 for a bowl of pho, and $9 for Vermicelli. But heck, I enjoyed my meal very much and was left satisfied and full. I got their Beef Sate ($9.50) - Mekong style beef sate in creamy, spicy broth which was DIVINEEEEEE. Unlike most sates I've had (not spicy when it says it is, peanuty, and oily in a bad way), Basil does a fantastic job by creating a well balanced and flavoured broth of spiciness (just right for those who don't eat it a lot), that is mellowed out by a 'creamy' kind of coconut-like broth. Kind of Thai inspired - like a mellower version of Tom Yum with the coconut milk. Yes.. they could have skimmed a bit of fat off the top, but it was one broth that was worth sipping on. The portion of noodles was good (enough to make me feel full but not that I will fall asleep going back to work), and not overly salty or laddened with MSG. I didn't have to reach for a liter of water after! Highly recommend it! Their service kinda sucks, despite us being there before the lunch rush. Sure..once we were seated we were served water immediately, but it took them 5-10 minutes too long to realize we were ready to order. The food however, was prepared quickly but with careful consideration. Overall, if you're in the area come here and you must try the Beef Sate!
