My friend Vanessa and I were going to try out Noodle King but it closed at 4pm. I then recommended Basil. I've never been before but the reviews I've seen we're all positive so I brought it up.
If I could give 3.5 I would but they are still worth a 4.
They get 1 whole star for their atmosphere and deco. From the menu to the floors and art on the walls. You can tell this Viet place was a bit more upscale then the regular run downs. Also the food is $1-3 more than regular Viet places.
The other 3 stars are broken down....
2 stars for the food..
A1 Shrimp Summer Rolls - The wraps were fresh, soft and moist. You can tell the rolls were made to order
A7 Rocket Shrimp Rolls - Super yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Giant tiger shrimp and taro paste wrapped and deep fried.
P3 Seafood Sate Noodle Soup - Didn't try it but it had a lot of seafood shrimp, crab stick, squid etc.. my friend loved it. The bowl was HUGE and you get a lot
B1 Bun - Grilled Pork and Spring Rolls - Generous portions and Pork was tender and cooked just right. I asked for no bean sprouts... and I was sad to see that there were bean sprouts. I had to pick them out one by one... arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gosh I said no bean sprouts in a clear bold tone and they still put bean sprouts.
I wasn't too happy with their Avocado shake... it wasn't sweet enough and I had to ask for more sugar. Also I think it needed more avocado. Good size though. Totally worth the $$$$
Finally the LAST star is for the service. I needed HOT WATER for my baby's bottle and they were so quick and helpful I like that :)
