⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My husband and I went out for a late-night dinner date and chose this restaurant based on the great reviews. It absolutely lived up to the hype! We have made it our mission to find the best pho wherever we go, and this place is definitely in the top 5. The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, with generous portions and fresh ingredients. We also ordered the combo vermicelli bowl, and it was excellent. The beef and shrimp were especially delicious—both cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The combination of fresh vegetables, noodles, and protein made for a fantastic meal. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh. We will definitely be back the next time we’re craving pho. Highly recommend!

What a hidden gem in Lynnwood! It's rare to find a pho place that also serves cocktails, and they were great. The wife said probably the best Espresso Martini she's ever had. Food was also great, with the exception of the quail, which was over cooked and dry. The basil beef and the pho were both well seasoned and delicious. And the garlic parm chicken wings were not what we expected, but were still great. We'll be back pho-sure!

i came here with a group of friends one time and the service was great. my friend came back another day and told us their portions were large too. the place is clean, new, and amazing decor. the seating is nice and clean. their pho is pretty good, i wish they would start making bun bo hue. i ALWAYS come here for their thai tea. i like the tea layer they do and its so good. i genuinely came here three times in a row once for their thai tea. i dont think i've had better thai tea anywhere else.

I love everything we ordered. The pho is so yummy and good portion. I had 1/2 of it left and can’t wait to enjoy it as my left over :) I loved the grilled beef banh mi. The meat is tender and flavourful. Bread is just perfectly toasted and warm. We will love to come back again and support this clean, fast service, great service business

We were not sure about the food as it seems the place is relatively newer than most others. It has good reviews therefore we decided to try the place. We are glad we tried. The sliced beef banh mi sandwich was so fresh, crunchy, and yummy. 😋The pho was fresh too. The spring roll sauce could be better.

Definitely a hidden neighborhood gem. From the moment I walked in, Anthony made the experience exceptional. He is incredibly professional, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell he is highly engaged in the business and proud of what they do here. He shared great insight about the restaurant, including their Saturday nights at 8pm with a live 80s band, which sounds like a lot of fun. The happy hour is solid and the menu offers a great variety of authentic flavors. Everything looked appealing, but I was especially drawn to the house specialty, the Basil Beef. It did not disappoint. Perfectly cooked, deeply satisfying, and served with steamed rice, chilled vegetables, and a light broth to bring it all together. Warm atmosphere, great food, and outstanding hospitality. Highly recommend and I will absolutely be back.

“Absolutely loved dining at Basil Bistro! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The pho broth was rich and delicious, the spring rolls were amazing, and the atmosphere was modern and welcoming. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Definitely one of the best spots in Lynnwood for Vietnamese food. Highly recommend — 5 stars!”

This is quite literally the best Vietnamese place I have EVER been to, no exaggeration. Service ☆☆☆☆☆ Some of the best Service out there. Truly it felt like you are a good friend of everyone in there. We had a younger gentlemen with dyed hair (racoon stripe?) and he gave amazing service. Always on top of waters, very informative, super attentive, and amazing attitude overall. Another highlight was (forgive me if I'm wrong), a western lady in the back who quite literally lit up the whole room. Being in her presence literally felt warm and welcoming. Fast service too, multiple people bring out food so that servers weren't backed up, which is really smart. Food ☆☆☆☆☆ Oh. My. God. Where do I even start? Looking at the menu, it could definitely be pricey to some, with pho costing a rang of 18-28 for multiple sizes, I believe? It is a REALLY good deal considering how huge the bowl is. This time, we came with 6 people, and only spent about 125, but 150 with tax + tip. They have really good appetizers as well, 3 types for 16, or around 6-12 for them individually. Good selection, with normal options such as spring rolls, gyozas, crab rangoon, etc etc. Once it came out, everything tasted so so so fresh and crispy. We also got 2 HUGE pho bowls, a plate of fried rice, a bowl of dumpling soup, and orange chicken (you can choose multiple spice levels for the orange chicken as well). This was more than enough for a group of 6, especially if you share. Not to mention how good everything is. The pho is literally the perfect ratio of noodles to broth to toppings, in which they aren't skimping on anything. The fried rice was also noteworthy, quite literally bursting with flavor (picute attached). One way we check if fried rice is good is with the peas. If the peas are mushy, it's not the greatest. This one, however, was amazing. It tasted sososo fresh! Orange chicken was also good, a gigantic portion that we got to take home for later leftovers! Heated up well too. Everything here wa

I've eaten at a lot of Vietnamese places in the area but this might be my new go-to. I was surprised that the food was great in spite of the suspiciously nice decor. The grilled pork skewer was a standout, you can really taste the nice char from the grill. My partner drank all the broth in his pho which is rare for him. Shrimp toast was delicious too. Service was lightning fast, though this might have been because we came at a weird time (3pm on a Sunday). We'll definitely be back to try their other dishes!
