Super yummy and filling. Portion came in really huge. Must try the kao soi noodle. Perfectttttt
Came here during lunch time and the queue was very long but it was worth the wait.

Gone and ordered here for so long and most of my time here in Boston. As the last time coming here for I’m heading out the area (per my girl’s words) most likely won’t come back to this spot for a while. But for a pho spot, this is one of my favorites in Boston for delicious pho. My girl always got something else like the Saigon noodles, drunken noodles, the fried duck, and “pad gra pow”, with chicken. That one was her favorite probably ordered it “100’s” of times. Curry puff is also good. Most time at food hours the place is packed so you might have to grab a QR code or something and get put on a wait list to be seated. Either way busy or not the front door service is usually not aggressive but forces you towards a certain decision. Seating arrangements needs work, other wise once seated they are friendly and very accommodating. The food is excellent and consistent. Would definitely recommend this place. Also lots of gluten free options.
It's a compact and cute restaurant with amazing food. Loved everything we got. The flaky bread (similar to parota from s
South India) is a must try! All the curries, noodles and Phos were good. You may have a waiting here. They can seat a party of 10

This place has been a regular for a couple of years. Rarely had a substandard experience. The food is great. Doesn't burn a hole in your pocket and has remained more or less the same for the past 8 years that I've been going here.
Always there to save the day! If you’re looking for a quick Vietnamese/Thai fix then Pho Basil is the best place. Recommend their Bun Bo Hue for the pho and Curry Roti for apps. Vietnamese coffee for drinks!
Food is served hot and quick, always a line during peak hours and events in the area so be there early!

I was surprised to see that there were vegan options available, I always wanted to try Thai food but as I am vegan, there are not many options available but here it was. I tried rice noodles, veg roles and fried rice. Staff was also very friendly they customised the order for me as I don’t eat egg. Overall it is very good and affordable.
Celebrated my pre-birthday with my beloved spouse and best friend at this amazing restaurant! The scrumptious food was matched only by the exceptional service. The staff were warm, friendly, and made us feel welcome. 🥰🥳
Really good food, and good service. I recommend the pho and spicy pho, the drunken noodles, crispy chicken basil, and jungle curry.
We had good service consistently, with plates for sharing given to us without asking and water refilled consistently.
The spice level on the spicy dishes were perfect, noticeably spicy but not uncomfortable as someone with slightly better than average spice tolerance.
