    Curbside pickup. Supporting local business.

    One year later after I discovered this gem of a place and still is my favorite spot to get my comfort food. My favorites are the Chicken Pho- broth is super tasty! Vietnamese egg rolls- sooo good! Vietnamese rice plates- pork, chicken, beef, you name it I love all 3! pork dumplings-gotta have them pan fried! Don't forget your iced Vietnamese coffee! Super strong and super good! Food is always piping hot and fresh.

    I was in Dickinson today and looked for a good local place to have lunch. We have no good Chinese food in Galveston, so I really wanted some. I chose well. The restaurant is clean and well organized. It's very simple, not much of ambiance. Tile floor, simple tables, good lighting. Maybe it's different at night. I ordered one of my favorite things that I can never seem to find: chinese style spare ribs. Those were excellent. I got an order of pork fried rice (fair) and an egg roll (also excellent). I really enjoyed the meal. It was just the right amount of food for me. I chose an iced tea to drink. The service was great and so was the price. Food and tax came to $18 something. I should have gotten something to go. I want more!

    The food is so fresh and not overly sweet like a lot of Chinese food places. They have great customer service and are always friendly.

    After more than 15 years of passing by Basil House, I finally gave it a try this evening. I had a…read morecraving for Vietnamese that nagged at me all afternoon. There are plenty of Vietnamese restaurants in the area, but I felt Basil House deserves a go. Essentially a hole in the wall, it's located along Palmer Highway not too far from where it meets 146. The building may look small, but the interior begs to differ somewhat. This is the third time I use "Vietnamese," but what's so unique about this eatery is that it also offers Thai dishes. I decided to do both for my first visit; I ordered a Vietnamese grilled pork rice plate and Thai chicken skewers. My orders arrived at my table at the same time, which I thought was nice. Regarding the skewers, the chicken was pretty sizable. It was so tender that it came off the stick after a bite or two. I must admit it was dry, but still a nice way to start a meal. As for the main star of the show, the rice plate, I have nothing but immense love for it. The kitchen staff wasn't stingy with the amount of meat they placed on the plate. Tender just like the chicken, the grilled pork carried a sweet taste that got even better when dipped in the accompanying fish sauce. Oh, I forgot to mention the skewers and the rice plate had cucumbers, which raised the tangy factor. I capped everything off with fried banana and vanilla ice cream. A man who I assumed was the owner of the place acted as my server. He did an outstanding job, refilling my drink and giving me extra napkins. By my estimate, Basil House is the closest Vietnamese restaurant to my house. No need to travel at least ten miles if I want my fill in ice plates, spring rolls, or even pho.

    Spring rolls three made sloppy and you get one shrimp sliced in half in each row HORRIBLEread more

    We had a terrific experience here today. After our regular pho place in Friendswood made me sick…read moremultiple times in a row I decided we needed to find a new noodle place. Wonder Pho came through. Our server Emily was very helpful and went above and beyond to make us comfortable and happy. I ordered a very straightforward Build Your Own pho. It was delicious. The broth was rich and had all the correct flavors. The meat offerings were correct. I had filet - some places no longer offer that option. My mom had the wonton soup with egg noodles. I ate most of it as leftovers. The dumplings were big and stuffed. The pork pieces were correct. The atmosphere is very standard Vietnamese restaurant. It looks newish and cleaner than most though. We will definitely be back.

    I heard about this place from a friend, and my dad actually tried it before I did. He enjoyed it so…read moremuch that he went back multiple times before bringing me along. The staff, especially the owners, are incredibly friendly and often stop by to chat with your table, which gives the restaurant a warm, welcoming feel. We came by after a tennis tournament, and it ended up being the perfect post match meal. Although I am Vietnamese, I had never tried Banh Bot Chien (fried rice cake with egg) before, so I was excited to finally have it here. It definitely lived up to my expectations. The rice cakes were chewy on the inside with a crispy exterior, and the sauce paired with them was absolutely delicious. It is easily a must order dish. My dad and I also shared the Bun Bo Hue (spicy Vietnamese noodle soup). I thought it was fairly standard, not the most memorable bowl I have had, but still solid and enjoyable. For $12.99, the portion size is huge and could easily stretch into multiple meals, which makes it a great value. Overall, I really enjoyed trying this place, especially for the Banh Bot Chien and the welcoming service. While not everything stood out, it is a solid local spot that I would come back to when I am in the area.
