Well, what can I say. The Pho Tài was delicious and filling, I could eat it every day. The Avocado Smoothie with Boba was just the right amount of sweetness and was also delicious. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Prices were also very reasonable. Looking forward to trying more things on their huge menu. Give this place a try ASAP! read more

Yesterday, I ordered to go vermicelli with grilled beef and egg roll. The food is so terrible. Vermicelli on the top is ok, but the bottom is very dry and hard (like the too old one in refrigerator and they reheat in microwave when having order). Grilled beef is hard, too. I could not finish all the food. I was too thirsty after eating. Drink whole two bottle water, but it was still. I never come back this place anymore for sure. read more

Real good Vietnamese food here. Their phone is so delicious, the broth is so rich and tasty. Lots of meat and love their fresh basil and bean sprout. The staff was attentive and checking on us frequently, opposite with all the Vietnamese restaurant sin the Bellaire area. Definitely recommended! read more

I got the combination fried rice without pork and it was tasteless. There was barely any seasoning on the rice and it looked old. The egg rolls were really good though. I personally wouldn't recommend. read more

The pho here is so horrible and there is so much fat on their left brisket meat. Egh, I almost threw up eating one. Broth was not flavorful and it didn't seem fresh. Avoid the pho here and order something else. read more

I've been here twice already for take-out, and having been to several Vietnamese joints here in the Houston area, this place is not too bad. The grilled beef rice plate, combo fried rice (the bomb!!) and Vietnamese egg rolls were delicious, and my husband liked their Mongolian beef. The steamed and fried pork dumplings were not great. Definitely frozen and not homemade. A ton of variety on their menu including Chinese and a couple of Korean inspired dishes. Very friendly staff, but since they're probably still trying to work out their kinks being brand new, I think they can only get better from here. We'll definitely be back to try out the Pho. read more

Saigon Basil - Vietnamese Near Me - Richmond, Texas

Whatever you do, don't order soup to-go from here. They will put them in cheap containers who's lids will melt off. Because they know it'll happen, they wrap the containers in a bag... which will ultimately melt and leak everywhere. When you return what's left, they will replace with the same containers. But they will not apologize. And you will walk through a crowd of people waiting to pay because the servers can't keep up with the few people who actually eat there. read more

Amazing Vietnamese food. Always tasty and exceptional customer service. Had the combination rice dish. So good. Not too salty. Just how I like it read more

It's ok. One of our entrees was flat cold. No warmth to it. They took it back and remade per our request. I had the lettuce wraps. Ok overall but it needed flavor. My partner thought it wasn't clean but he went to the restroom. I didn't. read more

Sorry to have to give them low ratings since they have good service but the food is not good. The dumplings were terrible - the inside hard and not flavored well. The soups were watery . And the meals not fresh at all . You can tell it had been made days ago. The food is only 1 star . The service was good but not enough to make me go back. read more

The pho and vermicelli was pretty good! The service was great and the wait for food was great. However the restaurant itself was dirty and kind of sticky. I would not go back because of the cleanliness. read more

Been a few times after being a loyal customer of Viet soul. I must say, today eating at Saigon Basil has skyrocketed them to number one in the area in my opinion. Beef ban mi (spelling?) was extremely fresh, flavorful and tender with the perfect amount of extras. Beef rice plate was amazing. Definitely recommend. read more

I love the food!! The food is clean and super healthy. The customer service is great and they're always wanting to improve. I'm sooo happy they're open close to my house. I'm in love with their food, so I eat about twice a week ! read more

I was quite skeptical at first walking in because it was actually opening night. This building has changed management and restaurants for about five years. I was very happy they had a Vietnamese /Chinese restaurant nearby. The owners and staff was excellent. My favorite is the seafood Pho but with regular noodles not egg noodles. It's a must. Great for take out as well. read more

Great food with great customer service all the time! The food is changed not same before but in the good way. I used to not like the food here but right now I love it especially the pho and ginger scallions chicken! Love the brown sugar milk also. It would be our new spot to go! read more

I ordered food to go last night and the food was good and the portion sizes were generous. The lady who assisted me when I came in was also nice. I ordered spring rolls, Vietnamese egg rolls, chicken pho and vermicelli bowl with egg rolls and grilled pork. The only reason why I gave them a 4 out of 5 stars was because the egg rolls were missing the lettuce to wrap the egg rolls in and the vermicelli bowl was missing the fish sauce so the food was dry. I am willing to try this place again. read more

See all

Food is good.. portion is big..decent price BUT there is 1 thing....vnese dishes 80% comes with different kind of mints especially what I just had (bún tht tôm nng), there isn't none in my bowl and my husband's bowl so there for my husband have to ask for it.. and what they give us is basil.. err wrong kind lol but it's all good. We'll be back. read more

Good food and good service. Good boba smoothie. They have promotion buy 2 get 1 free drink. Awesome read more

I really like this place. I think I had chicken with vegetables last time I went there and I've been craving it ever since. It had almost this sweet taste to it. I loved it. When I went last was around Christmas and they hadn't started serving sushi yet, but I'm curious to try that if they have it now. read more

I have ordered from this establishment multiple times always received a call back to check my order and my order was always corrects until the last time I ordered. It was horrible I asked for grilled meat it was all raw then wouldn't replace it with my correct order and they refused... I was astonished by the treatment or should I say lack there of :/ I will never order or recommend it!!! read more

First time at this place. I liked it. I ordered the rice combination with beef, chicken, and pork. Sides are 2 egg rolls, veggies, and fried egg. Everything was cooked right and tasted great. The atmosphere is modern with pop music and TVs to keep you entertained. Too bad they were showing fake news CNN though. The place was clean and there's a bar. Service is ok. Staff is friendly, but never offered to refill our drinks. The menu is packed with many choices, and they have boba smoothies. Overall, I would recommend this nice Vietnamese place. read more

Their food is really good!!! They still need to work on their wait time but that's to be expected with a new restaurant. Their pho is amazing and their portion is very generous. So glad this place came to the neighborhood read more

Great Vietnamese coffee we really love this place. Haven't tried the food yet but plan on trying it soon with my husband!

Ordered thru Uber eats- we have had a few disappointments lately trying new places so honestly my expectations were not that high. The food arrived before estimated. We ordered the sesame chicken, fried rice combination, lettuce wraps and pepper steak stir fried- all of the dishes were delicious. I was happy with the portion sizes, presentation and flavors. It wasn't spicy the way my husband and I prefer, but it was fresh and my kids loved it. We will order again. read more

Authentic Vietnamese food for sure! Love their rice plates and grilled meat. Egg rolls are awesome as well. We dined in when it first opened and the wait was insane so hopefully that has been resolved by now. Ever since, we've only been ordering our food to go. read more

SUPER BAD COSTUMER SERVICE. i asked for a thai tea just a little sweet and i do that at most places when i go to Kim's Teahouse or Mai's teahouse and they literally do it the same way i ask. I asked hem to do the same and it tasted like they put two big cups of sugar poured in the drink and on top of it he took 20 mins to bring the drinks when there was no customers.... then i asked if they could please re make it and he made the biggest scene and was sooooo rude. literally trash service. don't go.... waste of time and money and a nasty attitude. read more

Daughter and I wanted some boba tea and to my surprise new Saigon Basil in a Richmond had some. She really loved it and i had some pho which was delicious. Will definitely be back. read more

Ordered the grilled beef spring roll- too much noodles, not enough vegetables or beef- need a better balance. Tastes decent. For the wonton with duck noodle, the broth needs more seasoning and flavoring- pretty plain. The orange chicken was decent. Overall, was disappointed since it's so close to our place. Service, cleanliness, and atmosphere was great, so I gave a star for that. read more

Great tasting Vietnamese food, but the wait is terrible. I thought they would have their sh*t together by now. I've had to wait at least 45 minutes every time . read more

This is one of our favorite spots in Houston to eat Pho (top 5). The service is always fast and courteous. We enjoy the fact that it's also in the neighborhood and the food is fresh with a clean environment. read more

I was more than pleasantly surprised by the food. I ordered online and picked up through the drive through. My daughter got the Sesame Chicken. Extremely flavorful with just enough crispiness. She said it was the best she has had. I got a vercemelli bowl with grilled pork and chicken. The meat was good quality and had great flavor. It was a very fresh and tasty meal. We will be back. read more

Good food and very nice staff. They are friendly. Dinner time very busy but we understand it. Love it

I agree with one of the reviews below, they really need to work on communicating better with customers, the Pho is good but they are very frugal with the amount of vegetables they give even if you pay for extra. read more

I LOVE the food here, best Vietnamese food I've had. Everything in their menu is super delicious and their portions are quite generous. The reason it doesn't get a 5 Star from me is because the service is so horrible. It's NOT that they are rude it's just that they are clueless when it comes to service. I have been here several times, when they first opened they took FOREVER to bring your food, I used to joke with my son and say "hey bring a snack so we don't starve to death while we wait for our food, luckily they have gotten a tiny bit better on that. Also some of the servers don't seem to speak English and it's hard to communicate or ask questions about the menú. When you come in you often just stand there not knowing if you're supposed to wait to be seated or just seat yourself. Once you get your food they never stop by to ask if you need a refill or anything else. They are NOT rude they just need training ASAP. I hope they fix that problem because I really love the food! read more

The grilled chicken pho is the best I've had. I love that they have the option of grilled chicken and not only steamed chicken. Their regular food is good as well. read more

We have eaten lunch here a couple of times. Extensive menu of Asian food, good prices, good food. Service is usually quick in taking the order and delivering the food. You sometimes have to hunt down someone to get the check. I do recommend. We've tried the Pho, sandwiches, wonton soup. And a couple of Chinese and Mongolian dishes. All good. read more

New restaurant ...Nice food ....pho is awesome ... clean atmosphere and good portion sizes ....

Really nice staff and quick service!! Loved the vermicelli chicken bowl! Boba smoothie with tapioca was awesome too! Definitely will be back! read more

Tried this place because it's close by my house. It was very delicious. I will most definite be back. I'm so happy that a place with such good food is close by my home. The Shaken Beef and the combination plate was really good read more

We ordered several items, the bread of Viet sandwich was so hard, must be old. The vegetarian dish was sweet. It tasted like Korean dish. However, the PHO tasted great better than those places in sw Houston. I' ll come back for the PHO which is super good. read more
