I very rarely leave negative reviews but I am literally furious and writing this from my vehicle. These people do not have a clue what service is or what it means ro be hospitable or value the time of other people. I walked in at 7pm this past Sunday and there was a couple who walked in right before me and we were told that the booths were not clean and to wait in line ,so I agreed to wait. Another employee starts to clean the tables and the couple is called. She then says to me because you are just one we cannot give you a booth. Mind you, there were 3 empty booths when I walked in and two remaining. Why would you have me stand there and wait for something to be clean KNOWING you were going to ask me to sit elsewhere? I paid 4 dollars to park and walk, STAND and then leave this establishment. Ive sat at the corner booth several times as a SINGLE customer. read more

This Vietnamese restaurant is WAY OVERPRICED, especially with the soup/pho. Mediocre. tasting food and the broth is NOT from scratch. I should know .... I've been to MANY Vietnamese restaurants, over my lifetime and we / family, occasionally make the broth at home, as well. This process takes hours. I ordered 2 pho and they were supposed to be the COMBINATION pho and it was NOT. It was missing 2-3 different varieties of meats. We were very disappointed and considering how outrageous the total bill was. BTW... the spring rolls and egg rolls, did NOT include the dipping sauce. We had to pay extra for the sauce. TOTALLY ABSURD!!!! Never had to pay for the sauce at ANY of the other restaurants. How the hell are you supposed to consume the spring rolls and egg rolls without the sauce?!? It's always included with the appetizer!! ‍ My daughter recently went on a conference trip with her colleagues, to California. Now, that supposed to be an expensive state. The price of the pho there was almost half the price than this place!! Better tasting, as well!! So, PLEASE don't tell me because it's price inflation?!? I don't know if this business is suffering?? My family and I will NEVER order or dine from here again. read more

Pho is delicious! great location and great to walk around afterwards! Staff is friendly and good selection of food in the menu.

Wanted a quick meal around the area I was staying at and stopped by this place. The food was okay, but the service was lacking as one of the servers was very busy on her cell phone. There's at least one table that is right below an air vent that air would just keep blowing over your head. Get the beef pho and grilled beef summer rolls. read more

We went at 5 pm on a Saturday evening and there was plenty of seating available. The waitress was really nice and brought us a free condiment. I got the beef pho with veggies and everything was fresh, broth was really tasty. It had plenty of noodles and broccoli, carrot, baby corn, bok choy. It was very big I couldn't finish it! My husband like spicy food and he used the chili oil they brought with the pho. He also loved his pho and finished it all. Prices are normal for this area, the check was 51$ for two pho with extra tripe and veggies. Service was fast, will come back when I crave for a pho again read more

Pho is excellent. I wonder why it is almost empty most times. It makes me wonder if there is a problem I'm not aware of. The pho is delicious. Sliced steak and chicken burgers terrific. The meatball was nit my fave. If not for that I'd say it's a favorite place. read more

If you are looking for pho in Boca Raton, this place hits the spot! Their broth and selection is great! Great family owned restaurant and amazing service! read more

Basilic Vietnamese Grill - Grilled Beef Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I wouldn't exactly classify the food as Vietnamese. It is more an odd blend of take home Chinese and average Thai. The food is incredibly salty (possibly MSG) and the spring rolls taste like egg rolls and the grilled pork isn't. The waitress was nice and the service okay. read more

Atmosphere is art deco with 1950s style decoration. The flavors are fairly bland unfortunately and the food value just isn't there. I don't know if I'll come back. PS. Mens toilet needs a $5 part to stop continuously flushing but they have neglected it and put a sign on the top of the toilet to jiggle the handle lol. read more

Great food, fresh and fairly priced. Good menu options. Friendly service. Highly recommend .

I was happy to find some Vietnamese around here. The service was good. They close very early though, which is not great and quite limiting. The food was pretty good. Not the best Vietnamese I've ever had, not by any means, but, its edible if you're craving Vietnamese. read more

I've been to a basilic before and I usually know what to expect. The spring rolls were good and the pho was good as well. I also ordered a taro boba which tasted watered down. The reason why i'm giving this four stars is because the service was terrible. We visited this restaurant about an hour before closing time and we were sitting at a table. No one came up to us for about 30 minutes so we had to order right at the bar area. The food came out fairly quickly but we were never approached buy another individual. I ordered one more thing and quickly ordered the check because I would have to hunt down the waiter. The food was good service was terrible. read more

Strictly came here for the Pho! Okay so my boyfriend and I are on a personal hunt for the best Pho in South Florida, and this was next on our list to try. We came a Saturday night, pretty decent sized crowd, but we were sat pretty quickly by the coolest fish tank! Love that. I'm super into ambiance and cool lighting, and things to look at! I'm a sucker for it lol. So to start off we both had a glass of wine (Pinot Grigio for me, Chardonnay for him) and had an order of the spring rolls (not pictured). They tasted on par, nothing spectacular. However, the main attraction, the PHO! I opted to get ox tail, and I'm sure glad I did! It was so tender and juicy! Full of flavor! The broth is what MAKES the Pho. Super flavorful and savory! We both agreed that this spot had the best broth we have tasted! He got the Korean BBQ and he really enjoyed it! Just said it was a bit difficult to eat, but I mean, come on, look at it lol. My only gripes are: I understand that you are either a sauce person, or you could do without any condiments and sauce ever (INSANE IMO).....I'm however a saucy person! They didn't have sauce on the table! No fish oil, no hoisin, no sriracha, chili oil/paste. Nothing. It was a mission to get someone's attention here for service. So my boyfriend ended up going to the bar to ask for sauces. Would of been nice just to have it on the table like other places. Not a big deal, but hey, that's just me. Second gripe. Like I said, it was hard getting someone's attention, and I do understand it can be busy. However we were enjoying our night conversing, and looked around and there was no one left in the restaurant besides us and one other party. No one came over. Took a solid 15 minutes to get someone over to ask for the bill, then you guessed it; another 15 minutes passed. We were both like, "Do you think they forgot about us? lol" Lastly, the price of PHO was a bit steep. I totally understand what we ordered, and the location you are in, but the prices were a bit steep considering the overall lack of service. So for those reasons it got 4 stars from me. But a must try! Give it a shot! read more

I've been ordering here for years....idk if they changed ownership or management. The food today was much better than the past. No problems with allergies, everything came on time and as ordered. Very good read more

Always delicious especially on a soggy rainy day. The fresh spring rolls are a nice appetizer.

Good service. Very good pho. An authentic gem for those that enjoy Vietnamese cuisine. Parking is a challenge at peak times.

We were in the mood for some Vietnamese food, so we headed over to Basilic on Federal. The reviews looked pretty good on Yelp and online, so we were excited. We found street parking next door which costs us $4. I can imagine parking may be an issue on the weekends but on a Monday it was fine. The building looks very dated outside, but inside it's modern, fresh and comfortable. There were about 2 tables full in the entire place, very light crowd. Despite this, the 2 staff members there were working on Uber Eats orders and ignored us. No instructions as to whether we should just sit or wait to be seated. We had to jump in and ask after a few minutes and when we did, they did tell us to take any seat we wanted. The menu is full of soups, sandwiches and a variety of entrees but overall I felt that it was a rather concise menu with limited choices. I ultimately decided to go with the chicken pho and my wife got the wok tossed noodles with tofu along with a honeydew bubble tea. My pho was OK. The soup was hot and fresh and had all of the requisite ingredients, but the broth was very plain and lacked nuanced flavor. While I thought it was a filling lunch, it didn't make much of an impression. My wife didn't enjoy her stir fry. It looked nice, but as was the case with my dish, she said the flavor was very weak and that it almost seemed like it was an Olive Garden version of Vietnamese food. The accompanying Vietnamese condiments helped, but it was still pretty lame she said. She did enjoy the bubble tea however and thought it was tasty. I have to mention Basilic's pricing which aside from the pho seemed to be on the high end for what you get. $17.50 for a noodle stir fry? That's excessive. $6.50 for a bubble tea is also quite high. $12.95 for my big pho seemed fair though. It was a really big bowl, so that's nice value. I was going to get a Vietnamese coffee when we were done, but $6 for a coffee is outrageous in my opinion. I don't care how much of a specialty it is. Finally, the service was spotty. As I mentioned previously, nobody greeted or directed us upon arrival. And while our food arrived in a reasonable amount of time, the staff went MIA and could not be found when we wanted more napkins (which I had to pilfer from the neighboring table), condiments and a check. That was a little bit annoying. Overall, I give this place 3 stars. It was OK, but the food was too tame, Westernized and expensive for my taste. I would not go back nor recommend it. Summary: Food - 3 out of 5. Fresh, but very tame flavors. Amibance - 4 out of 5. Pleasant decor, very comfortable, good noise level. Service - 2 out of 5 stars. Pleasant, but spotty. Value - 2 out of 5 stars. Aside from the pho, very expensive for what you get. Overall - 2.75 stars rounded up to 3. read more

This was my first time here and was very impressed. My sister on law is Vietnamese and was in town and asked for a good Vietnamese place. Luckily my friend referred us to this restaurant. They were very accommodating, we were a party of 7 that's quickly changed to 9. I pulled the reviews and saw they have the best broth here, so of course I went with the pho. Most of us did lol it was delicious Hidden gem, must try! read more

We tried something new, the oxtail pho. They should remove it from the menu. It was mostly fat, I thought I had a mushroom and it was actually just a piece of fat. How can you throw all that fat in someone's meal? It was so tedious to pick all the fat off. I got fed up and dumped it. read more

I have always loved the rare beef pho here. I have been coming for more than a decade and usually do take out. Since I am not a fan of brisket, I have always asked them to substitute and bit extra of the rare beef so that I receive same portion as I ordinarily would. This became a major problem last night when they failed to do so, and when I called to advise them of the issue, they became hostile and basically advised me that if I wasn't happy, to not ever return to the restaurant. Then they (I think the owner) summarily and without discussion or warning summarily hung up on me. I would have to say that I will take their advice and after all these years stay away from a place that obviously does not value my patronage, and also respond in an uncaring hostile manner. read more

Best Vietnamese food I have ever had in Boca Raton. This is one of my favorite go to places. The food is great and the service is good too. The grilled chicken pho is the best around. The broth is tasty, hot and filled with veggies and delicious grilled chicken. The lemongrass chicken is tender white meat chicken marinated with lemongrass, chilies and fresh vegetables. Portions are big so come hungry. Spicy Seafood is full of grilled calamari and scallops. Staff is friendly and always attentive. The restaurant reminds me of a small New York restaurant with nice ambiance. Always clean. They have great outdoor patio if you want to sit outside and now they have delivery through Door Dash or pick up. Truly this is one of my favorite restaurants. I Love Basilic and so does my family. read more

The food here is so delicious! The prices are, well, Boca prices but the portions are fairly large. The grilled shrimp vermicelli and rolls are so worth it! read more

It's my favorite comfort food and the vermicelli noodles are always good. We usually do take out, and it's even good that way.

The best Vietnamese restaurant in South Florida! Pho and Bahn Mi are on point. We love the clean, quiet ambiance and good music.

Amazing restaurant and would highly recommend it! The Pho is always perfect and plentiful.

YUM!! This place really lived up to my expectations! We sat outside (behind the restaurant) on the back porch courtyard which was really nice. The weather was great and the environment was very serene. I ordered the Chicken Pho, which was amazing!!! The serving was huge and filled with fresh crisp veggies. I absolutely loved it! My party and I shared The Fresh Spring Rolls which were filled with shrimp and of course fresh and super yummy. The overall experience was great and the food was delicious and fresh! I look forward to returning and trying some more Pho! read more

Outstanding cuisine. Absolutely no complaints. They even add custom items to my favorite soup. It's pure deliciousness.

The Boca Basillic is actually depressing. I much prefer the location in Lauderdale-by-the-sea. The whole dining experience there feel so much more elevated. Anyways, at the Boca location, I'm not sure if it was our servers first day but she was clueless as to what was on the menu. My boyfriend also told her he had a serious shellfish and seafood allergy and not five minutes later did she bring out the prawn crackers. Luckily I knew what they were and he didn't eat any. The pho is delicious I have to say. I would order it to go personally and the pho is the only thing I would ever order. read more

So happy I found a good pho place in Boca! Vietnamese food seems a bit rare in this area so I'm super excited there's a great pho place within walking distance. Got here around 7:45pm on a Saturday night and got seated immediately. I ordered the combination pho which came with brisket, flank, and meatballs. The BROTH - let me tell ya, it was hearty and so flavorful. Almost as good as my moms which says a lot. Friendly staff and quick service. Come here to fulfill your pho cravings! Saw reviews that they have other tasty dishes besides pho. Will have to come back to try those! read more

Basilic Vietnamese Grill - Combination pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

We tried this place back on March 3rd for lunch because my go to Pho place in Boca is closed on Tuesday's. It's in the beautiful downtown area of Boca Raton. A casual and clean restaurant with welcoming service. The complimentary shrimp chips were good and a generous size. I ordered the grilled chicken pho. The broth was average. The grilled chicken was way overcooked. Really tough. I did not enjoy even though grilled chicken is my favorite pho. My friend had the combination pho. He thought the broth was really good and enjoyed his order. This is a nice casual place with reasonable prices if your out scrolling around the downtown area. read more

Excellent Pho! I ordered the vegetarian Pho and it was full of flavors. You must try it.

One of the rare Pho places that does grilled chicken. I've tried several places in area for Pho and this was best. Highly recommend doing veggie pho with side of the grilled chicken and any of the other meats you want. We loved all the veggies read more

Always consistent with food quality and pho is always A+. Love the fresh shrimp spring rolls.

I can speak to one thing, and one thing only.... Because it is so out of this world good, I can't stop ordering it. If I am anywhere near this place in my travels, I will detour just to get the Curry Chicken Noodle Soup.. The freshness of the ingredients and the absolute perfection that the liquid base has is incredibly addictive. So I am giving one item on the menu too many stars to count. Someday, I will try something else on the menu... but it may be awhile. read more

We ordered 3 types of spring rolls (salmon, shrimp, and grilled beef) because I couldn't decide on one and it was DELICIOUS! The combination pho was also very flavorful and tasty. My husband had the bun bo hue noodles which he said was very good. The food is authentic and portions are generous. You also get free chips as an appetizer. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back! read more

Basilic Vietnamese Grill - Grilled Korean short ribs - Vietnamese Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

although my husband liked this place a lot more than me the first time we came, I finally came back to eat another dinner with the in-laws. I have to admit I may have been wrong the first time since we loved the food this time. We started the meal with Spring Rolls with pork and shrimp and we shared a Vietnamese Chicken Salad. The salad is really different than what I expected; it's cold chicken but the flavors are SOOOOOO delicious and it has stuff in it that made it taste OMG but i really don't remember what else is in it. My hubby was bummed when he found out they don't have Pad Thai anymore which is his favorite asian dish so he didn't know what he was in the mood for so instead we ordered a bunch of plates to share.... Next time you can come with a group of friends, do like we did and order a variety to share. It's a great way to get to try so many unique dishes. read more

Took a reservation for 7:15. Not very crowded. Seated promptly. If weather is good sit outside. They give these yummy chips to start And we ordered shaking beef and wok style chicken noodles. Should have ordered two shaking beefs. Must have that dish. So good...not as impressed with noodles though. I would say skip it... read more

Beef pho, spring rolls and salmon summer roll was delish. Pork banh mi was the real deal and on point! The flavors were amazing. The bread for the banh mi is fresh and lightly toasted. The broth is rich. All the veggies are super fresh and even crispy. We came here twice in our short trip - it was that good. Thanks for filling our happy tummies. read more
