This place is one of the best places to get pho on the ave. Haven't tried their other foods but the broth is almost sweet I wanna say but not too much. Perfect for a rain day, and overall the vibes inside feel homey. Service is very nice. read more

Amazing food for an even more amazing price! This place is much more well priced than other locations on University Ave. The service is amazing, and the overall vibe was awesome as well! Great place to do homework, and the food arrives fairly quickly. read more

Went there at dinner time on a Friday. Surprised the place wasn't more crowded. My group was happy with the meal - panang curry was particularly tasty. Good portions at a reasonable price. read more

I've had Pho here twice and it is honestly disgusting. Zero flavor for anything, barely any cilantro or green onions. There isn't anything I can say good about it it's disappointing and the tofu has a slight dirt taste.. I wont come back tbh read more

Mostly great Thai and Vietnamese place! It used to be my pre-finals ritual! Food is decent, only thing I would say is the spice level is a bit low for what you'd expect. But order it spicier thank you think and it will be good! Portion sizes are generous so a great place to stop if hungry. Sometimes it gets busy, so avoid peak hours! It's got a nice chill ambiance so a great place to enjoy the food! read more

Casual, quick, delicious. Came here with a friend around lunchtime the other day and were quickly sat, but the restaurant filled up to the brim and there was a line out the door by the time we left. It's popular, and for good reason! Food: Great portions and I love that they include rice with the noodle dishes. It seems like they have Thai/Vietnamese fusion food, and it's delicious. The Pad See Ew had a good amount of chicken and broccoli, and was balanced out with the fresh white rice. A lot of people in the restaurant were enjoying big bowls of pho, and they have banh mis for less than 10! I definitely want to go back and try some next time. Ambiance: Casual dining, standard Asian restaurant vibes. Cozy! Service: Quick and efficient, absolutely no complaints here. Overall, can't wait to come back. Delicious food and I want to try everything on the menu! read more

The most budget-friendly and affordable restaurant I've been to in U District! The Bahn Ami was honestly a solid 3.5/5 stars and at $8 I really did not expect that. I think I'll be back to try other dishes because wow at this price and volume of food, it's pretty reasonable! read more

What happened to my previous. I appreciate this place. The food isn't the best, but it's pretty darn good and the prices are just right. The inside and their staff are along the same lines. You're not going to get the best of anything here and that's ok because great never gets in the way of an amazing bang for the buck Luckily they have plenty of room on the inside but don't expect to come here for a romantic date. I simple date yes. I love their large windows and how they are on the south side of the ave where parking is a slight bit easier to find. Slightly. lol. I don't have photos at the moment but I'll be sure to dig them up and post soon read more

I had the chicken Phad See Ew ($13.00) and my friend got the chicken Phad Thai ($13.00), both were relatively tasty but didn't necessarily stand out to other Thai joints. It is a relatively quick walk from the University of Washington campus and a great place to have lunch. I'm very surprised with how cheap the food is for being a sit-down restaurant, so that is definitely a plus. The ambiance and environment of the restaurant were generally inviting and cozy. The service was fine, I enjoyed that they gave us time to keep to ourselves. Overall, if you're in the area and looking to try either some Vietnamese or Thai food for cheap, definitely visit, especially for a broke college student. read more

Loved the place. Great food and service. Unfortunately the restaurant has closed for good.

Delicious butter garlic wings! Everyone enjoyed what we got. Will be coming back again

Basil Kitchen has always been my go to especially since it's close to the dorms and their service is done in a timely and fast manner. I really like the chill vibe when entering the resturant and of course their pho is good in my taste. read more

Despite the restaurant name change, this restaurant still has the same menu selection as it did when it started as Spring Kitchen. However, this restaurant has finally upgraded its menus from paper takeout menus to plastic laminated menus. I ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken and 4 stars spiciness to-go. Service was prompt and I was out the door within 15 minutes with my food. The pad see ew noodles were very tasty and came with green beans, carrots, broccoli, and a side of white rice. The portion was generous, but not enough for leftovers. The noodles were also the perfect consistency and not too sweet. However, as I noted before with my prior experience here, the 4 stars spiciness level here is extremely mild. It's like they don't even put any chili paste in it. I had to add my own Korean chili sauce when I got home. While Basil might not be the best Thai food in U-District, it is convenient, especially for those heading toward west campus or to the bus stop outside of the DM. 4/5 for service and 4/5 for food read more

All this garbage for a dine in pho and a spring roll order, also this disposable Asian soup spoon was worthless I don't understand why I couldn't get a proper spoon and a saracha bottle just these togo condiment packets for my dine in order at a sit down restaurant with disposable everything. So wasteful you guys. read more

Love it! Had there Banh Mi sandwich so far and looking forward to trying out more. Bread was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Meat was cook perfect, caramelized but tender. The sauce just works with it and generous portions. Coming back for more! read more

Pros: - Conveniently located near UW campus, away from the busyness of The Ave - Fast and friendly customer service - Would consider returning to try other food on the menu Cons: - Grilled pork Vietnamese sandwich was a little too saucy; did not taste the best; would not recommend/reorder; sandwich was also on the pricier side - Friend's pad thai was also on the saucier side, but she would get it again - Thai iced tea was watered down - Restaurant was busy with customers dining in on Friday around noon read more

Food was just Eh... service was mediocre... bunch of high school or barely in college age kids that didn't give a crap if you stood around the counter to ask a question. Definitely better Thai food around... not here. Will not be back that's for sure. read more

I just received the worst service in this place. I probably will not go to this restaurant anymore, at least not dining in. They gave my dish to another table by mistake and then took the dish back to the kitchen for a while and then sent the dish to my table. The reason why I am sure they did this is because I heard the waiter asked the other table "Did you touch it?", the other table said "No", and then the waiter took the dish back to the kitchen for a while. I don't think a professional waiter would ask "Did you touch it?" if he didn't plan to reuse the dish. read more

My friends and I have been coming to this place since last year. Previously, I've tried their Pad Thai, Yellow curry, and Pho, which are alright and not as impressive as their Phad See Eew (seriously, it's sooo good. I crave it sometimes). The portion is great for the price and the server there is always friendly. It might not look like a lot of food in the picture but it's actually very filling. If you're going there, get the Phad See Eew!! read more

One of the better Vietnamese/Thai restaurants I've been too around the ave/UW. Very close to the campus which is a plus. Clean place and menu, there giving free appetizers for their grand opening, not sure how long that will last. Anyways the pad see ew portion was good and had a good taste to it. The pho was pretty good as well. Food came out fast. read more

Reasonable price for a decent amount of food. Bowl of regular pho for $10.99 and upgrade to a large is just $1. I ordered the brisket pho and it tasted fine I am not a pho connoisseur so I enjoyed the noodles. read more

Food could be so much better. I got the pinaple fried rice with shrimp and only the shrimp had an actual taste. Just the review of the shrimp would be a 5/5. My friend got the pad thai on a higher spice level and said it was dry and not spicy. Service was friendly though! read more

The steak pho was delicious the broth needed no condiments the flavor profile was all there the food came out fast, the service was attentive and thoughtful:) The food was also reasonably priced overall a v good experience! read more

amazing food and service. Ambiance was ambiancing. Chill spot for students to grab a quick bite. There was a sauce that was yummy. Bussin

Ended up getting pad kee mao and drunken chicken. The pad kee mao was literally bursting with flavor and lots of chicken. They even gave some rice on the side to eat all the veggies and chicken with. The drunken chicken was a little underwhelming and dry. Still recommend trying this place. Lots of people were getting the pho and it looked like a hearty meal so I'll be back to try that next:) read more

Their tofu banh mi is one of my all time favorites in Seattle! Sometimes they sell out of the banh mi by the end of the day because they get all of their ingredients fresh in the morning. I've had their tofu pad see ew and tofu pad thai as well, which are both delicious! I'm not really a pho fan but I've heard it's great. Honestly can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Prices are very reasonable, especially given the pretty large portion sizes. read more

Loved the shrimp spring rolls! My bf picked up food for us here cause I had cramps and WOW. Even though we took the food to go the pho was perfect for a chilly, cozy, night in. read more

I appreciate the variety at Basil Viet, as there were popular Thai and Vietnamese dishes galore. We opted for Banh Mi sandwiches and chicken wings, which were a great deal for how full we felt afterward. While the chicken wings were good, they did not look like the brown, crispy fish sauce wings we had expected like the menu's picture showed. read more

I love Basil Viet Kitchen. I would recommend the fried tofu spring rolls. Definitely a go to and one of my favorite spots.

I believe this is the most closest restaurant to the campus but I've never been here. The name changed from Spring Kitchen to Shizzle Express and now Basil Viet Kitchen. Noticed that they are offering free appetizer for the grand opening, I decided to give it a try. Ordered R1: Grilled Pork, the portion was big and the sauce was pretty good. You can choose either egg roll or pot sticker as the free appetizer. read more
