Absolutely stellar!!!! This place is an absolute gem. Some of the highest quality Vietnamese /asian food we've ever had in the area. Gorgeous interior, exceptional service and everything we had was off the charts delicious. Their specialty Basil Beef was incredible. Gorgeous presentation and the most delicious nuanced subtle flavoring. Mouth watering!! And the Pho broth???? Are you kidding me? Some of the best we've had and that's saying something with all the good Pho around here. These guys are taking it to the next level. Complex aromatic flavorful delicious broth! 10/10 we will be back. read more

I fell in love with this restaurant they're atmosphere their service and obviously their food. They are a hidden gem in a strip mall, but don't let that fool your away. this is a must go to. read more

Food is good. It cooked fresh to order! Place looks great. Will definitely be visiting again.

Food was really good. The basil beef was tender and had really good flavor. The pad thai was good too, but not as good - strong fish sauce flavor. The restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing. Overall a great experience although a tad bit pricey. Good portions though. Would definitely come back. read more

In a sea of Vietnamese restaurants, this one is no exception. Still in Grand Opening mode, few customers on a Thursday night. More staff than guests. Average food, bordering on proletarian. read more

First time since newly opened Yum!! We had the spring rolls and a Bohn Mi sandwich Great upscale atmosphere Go check it out read more

So disappointing... Had to ask for a glass of water four times. The food was mostly good, the service was horrible. I don't think we will try again. When the server is rolling their eyes over a basic question, you just know. The food did not come out together for a table of four, crazy awkward. Go elsewhere. read more

This place has some absolutely delicious dishes and I highly recommend folks try it . Both the Basil Beef and Mongolian Beef were expertly cooked and super flavorful. I know Mongolian beef is more known as an American-Chinese dish, but it's probably the best version of that that I've had. Staff are super friendly too . We need restaurants like this to survive and thrive among an ocean of bland expensive food chain restaurants read more

Fantastic food and drinks. Great service Beautiful bar and interior Highly recommend this place. read more

Basil Bistro - Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

We've gone to Basil Bistro twice now and have had great experiences both times. The service is quick and the portions are gracious. I highly recommend the Basil beef, Pho, and House sauce wings! Everything we have tried has been so good, my only feedback is that the pad thai I got was really spicy for a 1 but that's just my preference. Otherwise the space is clean and has a cool aesthetic. We can't wait to come back and try more! read more

It was my first time at this location. I ordered a steak pho and chicken and shrimp egg rolls. The food was really good. I really appreciated that they had another option other than pork for eggrolls. I can honestly say this is hands-down one of top Pho spots in the Lynnwood Everett area. Funny enough one of my other favorite spots is Pho Basil in Everett, which come to find out this is their new location. The best part is, they are open later than most restaurants. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Really great restaurant! New customer today. Had a bunch of appetizers- honey walnut prawns-lemongrass mussels- spring rolls- egg rolls- house chicken wings- and large house special pho. It was all delicious. Service was attentive, kind and professional. Checked back and refilled water many times which I really love. Restaurant was beautiful- good vibes. Will be back definitely. read more

Basil Bistro in Lynnwood is an absolute gem--one of those rare spots that perfectly balances exceptional food, generous portions, a warm and stylish atmosphere, and the kind of genuine hospitality that makes you want to return again and again. Whether you're looking for a laid-back weeknight meal, a place to grab drinks with friends, or a cozy date night spot, Basil Bistro fits the bill effortlessly. Let's start with the food: incredible. The inspiration for the food is Vietnamese-American with some Chinese influences. We ordered the Basil Beef, Mongolian Beef, Beef Fried Rice, and Mussels with Lemongrass--and every single dish blew us away. (We are already familiar with Basil's strong Pho presentation). The Basil Beef in particular is a standout, not just for the flavor but for the quality. At just over $20, you're getting what feels like a steakhouse filet mignon-level cuts of tenderloin, so soft and tender, seared to perfection and paired with all the components that fans of Basil in Everett know and love: pho broth, pickled and julienned vegetables, cucumber, and perfectly steamed rice. It's a dish that feels both familiar and elevated--comfort food done at a seriously high level. The Mussels with Lemongrass were fragrant, fresh, and bursting with flavor. The Mongolian Beef and Beef Fried Rice were also excellent, with generous portions that are perfect for sharing or for enjoying leftovers the next day (if you can resist finishing everything at the table). This is food that's made with care, precision, and obvious passion. The food comes out fast too, because they are using Wok's and fast cooking techniques in their kitchen. And speaking of passion--you can feel it from the moment you walk in. The owners have created a space that feels welcoming and refined without ever being pretentious. The dining room is clean and well-maintained, with fascinating interior touches: lush natural plants, warm lighting, a sleek bar area, and super comfortable seating. The decor calls to mind the kind of approachable yet elegant atmosphere you'd find at places like Din Tai Fung or P.F. Chang's. You'll see people dressed casually, and that's totally fine--but the vibe also totally works if you're out on a date or looking for a slightly elevated night out. Another thing that sets Basil Bistro apart is the intent behind it. The owners clearly love food and hospitality, and they're building something special here--a place that's not just a restaurant, but a true gathering spot. They're open past midnight on weekends, making it ideal for late-night hangouts, catching up over drinks, or grabbing one more round of incredible food before calling it a night. The service? Friendly and eager. You can tell the full-service side is still finding its rhythm--there are some newer servers learning the ropes--but everyone is working hard and clearly wants to provide a great experience. Any small hiccups are overshadowed by the kindness, enthusiasm, and attentiveness of the staff, and it's only a matter of time before the team fully hits its stride. And finally, a huge shout-out to Martin, Ann, Tuan, Kevin, and notably, the owners, your warmth, hospitality, and hustle truly make this place shine. You're building something amazing here, and it shows in every detail. One thing I'd love to see in the future is the addition of some made in-house desserts. Something classic and comforting--like flan--would be such a fun and fitting addition, especially since the menu already blends Chinese-American flavors. Why not sprinkle in a little Filipino-American inspiration to round out the meal with a sweet, cultural twist? Bottom line: I want nothing more than for this restaurant to thrive, because it's just that good. If you're anywhere near Lynnwood, do yourself a favor and check out Basil Bistro--you'll be planning your next visit before you even finish your first plate. read more

Addition to Lynnwood from Everett. I enjoyed the Everett location and did not want to deal with traffic at the end of day. Was very happy to know the sister location just opened and will have music weekend evenings. Attractive deco. Foods is great as usual and the service was excellent. Will return again now that I have a choice either Everett or Lynnwood read more

Basil is my favorite pho restaurant in all of the Seattle area I absolutely love this place it's so clean the services amazing and the food is off the hook. read more

I always drive by this place and always want to stop in again. Did so one weekend and it's still a treat. Service is quick and easy. Ordered rice dishes, which were both pretty good (house special). Other Vietnamese restaurants plate (bowl) it differently, here it comes on a plate, so you can see everything. Either way, it's going to be eaten up lol. Everything was fresh and delicious. You even get enough sauce, other places you dont get enough sauce. It also comes with a side of phó broth, perfect touch! I'll have to come in more often now. Great spot in Everett near the mall, located in a strip mall, on the corner, easily seen from the street and plenty of parking. read more

A new favorite! Carried Menu offerings, Full bar and many other drink selections, great ambiance! read more

Wow! What a great addition to local hot spots to eat. Wonderful revamp with such pleasing decor. Open & subdued...and QUIET!! We had the Seared Ahi...melts in your mouth & perfectly presented. My son had the Pho & I had the Ground Beef (Wagu) String Bean Lettuce Wrap. Took home the leftover beef to mix with eggs for BF the next day. So many choices for our next visit. Our server, Toast, did excellent job. I had the Watermelon Dream...delicious & refreshing but a lot of the special cocktails looked like they might be very sweet for my taste. read more

So excited to have a new go to resturant so close to home. We get pho once a week and also love Thai food. So this was a place we were excited to try out as soon as we'd heard they were open. The inside is decorated beautifully, great date night. The music is perfect, enjoyable but not to loud like some places, which makes it hard to talk. The food was amazing. For our first time we each had pho and tried the mango shrimp salad. Everything was delicious! And the whole staff was friendly, welcoming and attentive. I can see this easily being our weekly go to spot! read more

Had a great lunch. The place was as nice and welcoming. I had the Mongolian beef which was very tasty. The wings were good and had great flavor. Nothing beats chasing it all down with some nice cold Thai iced tea in this hot summer day! read more

Nestled at 17525 Highway 99 in Lynnwood, Basil Bistro is a refined newcomer elevating the local Southeast Asian dining scene in Lynnwood. Opened on May 23rd by husband-and-wife team Kien and Hoan Wong, who bring experience from their previous ventures in Everett, Basil Bistro, and Pho Bistro in Smokey Point, distinguishes itself as a higher-end alternative to your typical Vietnamese or Thai joint. From the moment you step inside, the interior transports you to another part of the world. Thoughtful design, rich textures, and ambient lighting create a sense of escape and authenticity, making it clear this isn't just another pho stop. The food lives up to the ambiance. The lemongrass mussels are a standout: the broth is layered, herbaceous, and packed with flavor complexity that lingers on the palate. The Mongolian beef and Bo Luc Lac are both remarkably tender and clearly made from premium cuts--no shortcuts on meat quality here. The shrimp fried rice, although mild, serves as the perfect understated complement to the bolder dishes, balancing the meal rather than overwhelming it. Even the bar deserves mention: bright, modern, and inviting, it's the kind of space that invites you to linger. Service is polished and warm, and yes, as some patrons have jokingly noted, the staff is as visually appealing as the plating. In short, Basil Bistro brings polish and sophistication to Southeast Asian cuisine in Lynnwood. It's a welcome, upscale addition--worthy of repeat visits and full exploration of its menu. read more

Great tasting food. Service was good and decor was beautiful. Definitely a favorite place of mine!
