A solid spot for good Vietnamese eats. Staff were friendly, and despite how the food was prepped and really available in a relatively quick and efficient manner, it was very flavorful and filling with their good sized portions. Would totally visit again! read more

Great food for a good price! I had the grilled chicken stir fry and it was loaded up with fresh veggies and a great sauce. It had a great portion size, I got about 2 1/2 meals out of this! I went in and the worker was helpful with the menu, this was my first time there. The restaurant was clean and looked nice. I will go back again! read more

Calibasil Vietnamese Eatery - Grilled Chicken Stir Fry - Vietnamese Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

I just heard that Calibasil in Beverly is closing down this week because the landlord raised the rent. This is a rage-inducing tragedy. Calibasil was my introduction to Vietnamese food. The stir-fry noodle dish is savory and filling, the rice dish is a great lunch portion, and the spring rolls are heavenly. I can only hope the team here finds a new location close by. The landlord, on the other hand, can go kick rocks. read more

Good food! Loved the spring rolls and smoothies! We did take out so our pho was a little cold but overall great.

This is a sneaky good spot. Great sandwiches, awesome pho, always hot, fresh ingredients, and great/quick service.

This was our go-to restaurant, healthy and delicious and now it is GONE and our hearts our broken. I hope they start over soon, and if they do we'll be there. read more

I ordered chicken pho and despite basil being mentioned as one of the garnishes it was nowhere to be found. I asked and was told they were out of it.... Basil is one of the best ingredients and they really should let customers know it won't be included as it states. I wouldn't have gotten it then. I went last year and same thing happened. I guess I should have made sure they had basil before ordering? Do they ever really have it? I mean it's in their name after all. I'm used to Vietnamese restaurants where when you order Pho you get a plate of bean sprouts, basil leaves, and a lime to add to it as you wish. They don't do that here. Ambience is so-so. Order at counter and take food to one of the tables in the large space. I doubt I'll try again. read more

Calibasil has good food for good prices. If you've never had Vietnamese Food it's an amazing place for an introduction. The service is top notch. Highly recommend for a good dinner. The Pho is fantastic, but my personal favorite item on the menu is the Egg & Fried Tofu Banh Mi. This sandwich is stellar. Haven't found a thing on their menu not worth eating, love the stir-fried noodles, the Pho starts with an amazing broth and fresh ingredients and gets better from there, but the Egg & Fried Tofu Banh Mi is just one of those experiences I haven't found anywhere else. read more

Food is good but every single time I order a pickup order it's late and when you arrive the staff won't even acknowledge you for 10+ min

This is the only restaurant I get pho from in the area, it is a fast casual environment and should be judged accordingly. I always get the vegetable pho with spicy broth, but there are other options as well. The prices are affordable and great for takeout. It seems to be a family run business, I am always helped by the same people who are pleasant. They deserve community support, give Calibasil a chance over any chain or fast food options in the area or plaza read more

Ordering was quick and easy. Our meals were absolutely delicious! The banh mi bread was perfectly crusty and everything inside of it was fresh and tasty. My husband was very happy with his pho. The spring rolls were some of the best I've had anywhere - they are a must order. read more

Calibasil Vietnamese Eatery - Beef Stir Fry & Beef Brisket Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Calibasil in Beverly is my go to for pho. I've tried all of the local spots, and the product at CB is just superior. The flavor is deep. It has a subtle heat to it. The noods are fresh and pliable rice noodles, and the veg option comes with fried tofu, broccoli, carrots, bean sprouts, and sliced mushrooms. I've had the "spicy" version in the past and it's lemongrassy and gingery, not red pepper spicy. I can't recommend this spot highly enough. read more

Very disappointed. The bread they use for grill Beef Vietnamese Banh Mi is so soft came from some bakery, unlike the crunchy of traditional Vietnamese roll. The grill beef inside is so sweet, no flavor,no grill taste but cooked slice meat in water or oil. The beef noodle soup is so bad. I had to take off half of the noodle in the bowl. There are only 7 small size 2"x2'" of fresh beef in the bowl. The broth is so bland. It is not worth for the money you spend. Not Vietnamese food. Never to come back and not recommend it. read more

The restaurant has some good options but service is slow depending on staff, and disorganized at times. The bad: the meat appears to be precooked and sitting in a food station (? Heat). I found the fried springrolls not terrible, but not freshly made to order. They are sitting under a heat lamp box in the front of the store. due to concerns around freshness and temperature storage of the meat in the front unit, often go vegan. The good: The pho is great, fresh, made to order and honestly never had a bad bowl of soup, and love how you can customize meats. The fresh spring rolls are noodle heavy, but good overall. I have not had a rice plate but the Bun is fantastic! fulfills the yum factor if you are craving Vietnamese! read more

I was a little under the weather, and was really looking forward to some nice hot soup. For some reason I started looking up Vietnamese restaurants on yelp because I really wanted good pho. This place popped up as having good reviews. I went there today and I can tell you this place is pretty remarkable. It is in a strip mall, but the restaurant is nice and clean with plenty of sitting areas. There are multiple choices for food including banh mi, pho, vermicelli, rice and noodles with different proteins and fresh veggies. I can tell you that all the vegetarian options are excellent. The broth for the vegetarian pho is very flavorful, and the fried tofu and fried egg banh mi really hits the spot. There are lots of fun sauces to eat with your food including sambal oelek, sriracha, hoisin sauces. The staff is very friendly and answer any questions you have about the food. You can watch them make the food which is fun for the kids and adults. And, you can take the food to go. The pho was perfectly delicious as takeout. They separate the broth from the vegetable so you can mix it yourself when you get home. I'm really glad there is a good Vietnamese restaurant here on the North Shore that is casual and family-friendly and healthy and tasty. read more

Calibasil Vietnamese Eatery - Vegetarian Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Have tried just about every pho place near peabody. This place is a STAPLE of my takeout routine. Veggie pho with spicy chilli oil is the best veggie pho I've ever had. My girlfriend gets constant cravings for this place. Everything I've had is good! Worth waiting for when it gets busy read more

I went here for the first time ever last week and am so glad I did. It's a fast casual setup and ordering is super easy. We ordered a pork Banh Mi sandwich and shrimp spring rolls. They did not disappoint! I hadn't had Vietnamese food since maybe a year before the pandemic began, so this was a great reminder of how awesome it can be. I'm looking forward to returning again and trying a bunch of items on their menu. read more

Excellent clean food ! We recommend the shrimp spring rolls. The vermicelli bowls are very satisfying. And my daughter loves the brown sugar milk tea ! Lots of Boba options to choose from. I suggest call ahead or order online. read more

I have been to this restaurant a handful of times. It seems as though the taste gets worse with each visit. The noodles are always stuck to each other and it's impossible to separate. The broth today tasted like ginger soup. I ate a few bites before deciding it wasn't worth finishing. I tossed most of it away. I will not be returning read more

Delicious and fresh. Love the house pho, and the pork spring rolls! The people working there are so kind and helpful.

It's not easy to find banh mi in the Northshore, but Calibasil has it, along with a number of other Vietnamese dishes. Many options are vegan or can be made vegan. We got the tofu banh mi ($8), but veganized it by omitting the egg and sauce. It's really good, with crispy, flaky bread and a wonderful savory flavor to the tofu and other vegetables. I'm glad Calibasil is around. read more

Amazing pho and boba! Place is clean and the workers are friendly. Sometimes parking lot can get full for lunch but nothing too bad. Happy I found this place closer to home since there is only a few places in the north shore that have good pho. read more

Calibasil Vietnamese Eatery - Amazing pho and boba! So happy I found this location close to home. - Vietnamese Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Stopped for a quick simple takeout lunch. Ordered banh mi and Vietnanese ice coffee. The banh mi was perfect. A generous portion of succulent roast pork, crisp cucumbers, hot peppers, fish sauce, minced cilantro, diakon, and carrots. In a lightly toasted fresh roll. Iced coffee was fine. Did not expect to find food up with the best of Dorchester Avenue in Beverley! Will try the bun and pho the next time we are in the area. read more

The Pho here is really great very delicious! I have also had the Banh Mi sandwich and the stir fry noodles! Those are good but in my opinion the Beef Pho is the way to go read more

I'm from Southern California where Vietnamese Pho is available everywhere, but good Pho is hard to come by. I also travel to Hawaii where it is just as plentiful. So I was surprised at how delicious the Pho was here! Perhaps in my top 3 of best broths ever!! I liked that they added the basil, sprouts and jalapeños, saving me the trouble, and not wasting. I missed having a lime to add, but the broth was so tasty, I forgot until this moment! My daughter attends college close by, so we will be back!!! My highest recommendation!! read more

Really enjoy the pho here. My wife usually gets the tofu banh mi, which she likes a lot, too. We go pretty frequently, whenever I get a hankering for a bowl of pho. read more

In these times of COVID-19 awareness, finding a good takeout restaurant has become essential. And Calibasil fits the bill. They are serving up tasty Vietnamese fare "to go" the right way. Their food and garnishes are made to order with custom instructions available on their website, such as specific check off lists for what protein, veggies, spices and even if you would like to add extras like more meat or noodles to your dish. We ordered pork spring rolls - an order of two is a meal in itself! The pork chunks were plentiful and the rolls were huge! Along with that we added two orders of pho, one spicy and one regular. We chose which meats, garnishes and veggies we wanted. Everything came tightly secured in separate plastic bowls to be mixed together at your own home. You can ask your server for all the typical condiments to be added to the takeout bag like hoisin and sriracha sauce. Even peanut sauce for your spring rolls. We also have our own spices stored in the kitchen cabinet at home. What's really nice about the takeout packaging is if you order pho, the broth is separated, so you can pour it into a pot and make it piping hot if you have a bit of a drive back to your home once you return. Our meal was amazingly fresh and delicious. They also offer stir fried noodle dishes and rice plates we will try in the future. And a full apps, smoothies and dessert menu as well. We will be back! read more

Calibasil Vietnamese Eatery - Pork spring rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

I am extremely biased because I grew up in Dorchester where authentic Vietnamese food dominated the neighborhood. I hate giving poor reviews but these subs and egg rolls are far from authentic and were done so poorly. However, for the untrained pallet, this will do. The bread is what you'd find in an American steak & cheese (Vietnamese subs are famous for the crunchy baget. The Mayo was basic American not Vietnamese, the meat was ok but far and few in btw. The egg rolls tasted like the vegetarian Chinese egg rolls (I ordered pork). This was incredibly disappointing but the restaurant looked extremely clean and personnel were nice. read more

Came here around noon time on Wednesday for lunch and it wasn't busy. We ordered 2 bowls of beef broth pho, a fried egg and tofu banh mi, a ham and pate banh mi, a Thai iced tea, Vietnamese iced coffee and a mango lychee iced tea. The pho was really good and has great seasoning to it. You don't need to add in hoisin sauce. The banh mi's were ok. The ham and pate tasted more of a ham and mayo sandwich. The tofu and fried eggs was ok too. The drinks were really good! Their Thai iced tea isn't too sweet but perfect sweet. The mango lychee iced tea is very addicting. Has a ton of awesome taste to it. My GF had to reorder a 2nd cup because it was that good. Their Vietnamese coffee is pretty strong, definitely will make you wide awake. Overall experience, wonderful service. Friendly staffs. A ton of seating and parking. Very affordable. I will return for the rest of the menu. read more

Food is excellent especially spicy soup broth for their pho, their spring rolls and bah Minh

I'm visiting with North Shore and Calibasil was very delicious Vietnamese soup and cold shrimp roll. Very easy to order online. The service was fast and friendly. Thank you read more

We've been here quite a few times. When they first opened the food was tasty but they struggled at times getting food out in a timely manner. In the last 18 months, things had got better, so we went there about once every month or so. Until this afternoon! When we went in, we noticed 2 different people working the front. We ordered our food and had to correct our order twice with him mistakingly thinking I ordered vermicelli instead of rice and also mixing up my protein. My wife also asked for cilantro on her meal and he clearly said, "No problem". Well, we sat and sat. We saw at least 4 other customers come in after us, order food and then get served. When we asked what was happening, we were first told, "Just a minute". When we pressed and mentioned others had food before us, the woman said, "We've run out of cooked chicken. IT HAPPENS!" We got our food after almost 30 min with no apology at all. And by the way, no big deal, but my wife's meal didn't have cilantro. Also, no soda available as their machine wasn't working. We won't be back for a while and if I do return and see the same two people working, I'll leave and try a number of other eateries all close by. read more

My Co-worker Sharon and I both love Vietnamese food so when we ended up in Beverly and needed a lunch break we discovered Calibasil. (Very hard to find, BTW w/ GPS). Anyways, the order at the counter restaurant has a excellent variety of Vietnamese dishes to choose from such as fresh rolls, pho, bun, and ban mei sandwiches. After ordering our food as ready on a few minutes and we ate in the large dining room. Food was fresh and we enjoyed it. Price was perfect for what we had. I wish there was a Calibasil near me in New Hampshire! read more
