Not bad for Brantford; not too many unique food options in this area…read more The rare beef did not have very good cuts of meat. Vegetable very good. The place is dumpy, at least 1/2 a dozen table dirty/left to sit w cups, plates. Worst of all a playpen?!?! and baby crying, do they live in the restaurant as well?!!?? Nothing like trying to eat a meal while a mother is attempting to put a kid down into a playpen, ridiculous.

Wow!! As an enthusiastic enjoyer of Vietnamese cuisine, and being a well-travelled…read morediner/connoisseur of Vietnamese restaurants, I can gladly gush about my experience here! The presentation, the generosity, and the quality of ingredients, prepared with cultural authenticity and the kind of love found in a home-cooked meal, made for a dining experience that rivals that of high-end restaurants. Yet what you will find is a humble, comfy, bright, and clean space, ideal for families or a date! The prices are lower than they ought to be, which means generosity is what drives this place, rather than stinginess or greed. The community this restaurant serves is truly blessed to have them. For the price of a fast food meal at McDonalds, my family of 4 was totally satisfied in both quantity and quality. Where else can you find this?!

I was going to the theatre and don't have time to wait 45 mins for Pho. This is upsetting as this is a local restaurant enjoyed supporting - unfortunately it will be awhile before I think about coming back.

Definitely the best Pho in town. I went there because my Vietnamese client told me about it. The…read morerestaurant is not very visible on Upper James (big road), so unless people told you about it, you probably won't go in. They recently renovated a bit so things look more modern. The Good: 1. Unlike most Pho places I've been to, they give generous toppings and not just noodle. You can switch rice noodle to egg noodle, clear noodle and even udon (they call it Thick White noodle). 2. Great taste!! Their French beefy stew is the bomb and so is Hot and Sour flavor with chicken. 3. If you like dry noodle Vermicelli, they have the best IMO. For only $9.50 or $10.25, you can get VERY yummy Grilled Pork/Spring Roll and Vietnamese style Grilled Sausage or Tiger Prawn. Very good portion too. I've been there many times. Next time I am going to try one of their Pork Chop rice dishes. They seem popular! The Bad: I really like vietnamese style Iced Coffee but I find the price is a bit high for that nowadays so I never order from there. :( Overall, this is definitely one of the best Pho places I have been. Great price, portion and it tastes authentic enough. I am from Taiwan.

Came in on a quiet Sunday evening, so we had no trouble grabbing a table. We decided to share the…read moreplatter for 2, which was honestly a blast--it's such an interactive experience wrapping your own rolls with a mix of beef, shrimp, sausage, fresh herbs, and veggies before dipping them into the two flavorful sauces. Everything tasted great! The only downside was the service being a bit sluggish; we ran out of rice paper halfway through and had to track someone down for a refill. A fun meal overall, just needs a little more pep in the service step!

Red Basil is a great place for satisfying that Vietnamese food craving. The price is great for the…read moreamount of food you get. The flavor is localized, so along side pho and lemongrass dishes there is also orange chicken and other american-asian dishes. The area is pedestrian only and has lots of free parking around the area. The restaurant has plenty of seating for 2s, 4s, and more and is only one floor. We had a mix of food ordered, but the battered chicken with egg noodles was impressive, it was a large portion and had a fluffy and moist chicken overtop the noodles. It was lots of food, and could have made great leftovers if we didn't devour it all. The service is on the slower side, they only had one server that day and the chef came out to help out. All-in-all the wait was around 20-25 min to get from order to food on the table and it was enjoyable. Would come back again to try the duck next time.
