One of my favorite places! Love the vegan crunch rolls, kung fu wings and honey-grilled shrimp noodle bowl:)

We were searching for an Asian restaurant to satisfy a craving for a flavorful hot soup and came across Sweet Basil. Although the reviews were mixed, the majority were positive, and seeing that they offered pho, we decided to give it a try. Upon arrival, the host was warm and welcoming. The restaurant itself features pleasant décor and a comfortable atmosphere. There were a few families dining at the time, which created a relaxed and inviting environment. The host took our drink order promptly and brought the beverages out before our server came to take our food order. We ordered the special vermicelli plate, fresh spring rolls, and the ribeye pho. All of the dishes arrived at the same time. The vermicelli bowl, unfortunately, was not as flavorful as we had hoped; the sauce could have benefited from a bit more depth and seasoning. The pho was satisfactory, though we may simply be accustomed to a more robust, authentic flavor profile. During the meal, our server checked on us several times. We did need to mention an issue with the shrimp in the vermicelli plate, and he handled it professionally by removing the item from our bill, which we appreciated. The service overall was attentive and courteous. It's possible that because we visited closer to closing time, the broth and proteins may not have been at their peak freshness. Despite our mixed feelings about the food, the quality of service and welcoming atmosphere left a positive impression. We would consider returning, hopeful for a stronger culinary experience next time. So we can revise our review. read more

Not impressed with what was delivered to me. The spring rolls barely had any meat and the salad container was practically empty with 3 baby shrimp. For the prices this is unacceptable. This place was recommended by a friend and needless to say I will not be spending anymore money at the location. read more

I would say the service was fine but I couldn't even enjoy my food because honestly it feels like I was sweating bullets with every bite I took, so sure go here if you enjoy a workout while eating. Not to mention the severs acting as if we've got all the time in the world to wait for our food and having to have the hostess step up read more

2/10 would not recommend the staff was very nice the place looks clean. Okay here we go the food was horrible no meat on my sandwich no flavor and it was cold. Ordered spring rolls wow worst I ever had no pork and the shrimp were nasty not a grill mark insight I'm sorry this was not it please don't waste your time here read more

"Long-time customer here--recently the tofu has been tasting stale. Hoping this can be improved because I've always loved this place."

We sat at the bar and really enjoyed the noodles with peanut sauce. Delicious! Stop in and check this out if you haven't already. It's awesome. read more

Was not the best ramen. Idk that I would go back bc it was just ok and it was way pricey.

Great food! Great service! Also not too loud, great spot for casual date. Got a craving for noodles? Here's the solution!

The best dish ordered was the com bo nuong/marinated rib-eye rice bowl. The meat was well seasoned, and nuoc cham/fish sauce complemented it well. Everything else was ok. The pan-fried dumplings (menu stated pan-fried but it looked completely fried) were too greasy, Koko short ribs were too sweet, and the pho was a little bland. I saw a few tables eating boiled crawfish but I didn't see it on the menu. Service was good. Kudos to y'all for a clean, spacious restaurant, including the restroom with a baby changing table. It's not often that you visit a clean Vietnamese restaurant. read more

Nasty nasty food don't go here it's a waist of money and time food was cold and soggy

We were passing through the area, making our way back to Florida, and stopped for the night in Beaumont. Looking around for a place to eat dinner after checking in at our hotel, we first went by a Vietnamese restaurant on the West side of town... but it just didn't have the right feel for us when we looked at it from the outside. Fortunately, Sweet Basil was next on our list, and we were happy with the food and service. Inside, it has a lot of roominess to the dining area because there is no false ceiling. This helps immensely when it comes to noise from other tables, as you do not get sound reflecting from the roof. It does give an odd feeling to your spatial awareness, however. We started off with some dumplings and summer rolls, which were quite good except for the dipping sauce for the summer rolls... that turned out to be somewhat lacking in flavour, which was sad. Really though, that was the only low point of our experience. We both had nice bowls of pho for our main course, and that was excellent. The serving sizes are pretty standard for a Vietnamese restaurant (I have been to many, and they all use the same size bowls for the pho). The service was good too, and we were well taken care of. If I am back in Beaumont during the dinner hour, I will be seeking this place out again. read more

The food was amazing, the ambiance very peaceful and the service was excellent, almost too attentive (not a complaint).

Excellent service and delicious food...dishes come out quick and hot. Stopped by this place on my way to Lake Charles and glad I did. Lots od seating and convenient parking read more

We had an awesome meal and experience here yesterday on our way from Lake Charles to Houston. My paternal grandmother is from Beaumont, but since my childhood I rarely go to this area of Texas unless I am going to a cemetery to visit family members' graves. On the way back from a trip to Lake Charles, we needed to eat some lunch and I found Sweet Basil on yelp. Our server was fantastic but I did not get her name, Everyone besides me ordered hot tea, and they all got enormous cups with steaming water, which made everyone happy. My mom ordered vegan crispy rolls and my grandma got charbroiled tofu summer rolls for appetizers. I tried each of them and they were so good. For meals, my mom and grandma both ordered the charbroiled tofu vermicelli bowl, but my grandma is allergic to peanuts so we asked for those left off. I got the charbroiled tofu bun bao, and Eric R. ordered the spicy ramen. I knew that someone would not finish their noodle bowl, so I waited until my mom handed me the rest of hers so I could enjoy more food. I was able to try so many different tofu dishes that were all really tasty. Eric R. enjoyed his ramen too. The menu is quite extensive. If I am ever back in the Golden Triangle, I will eat here! read more

We are seated quickly. Atmosphere is not loud and the restaurant is clean. Wait people approach promptly and are friendly and professional. The food is great and consistent. If you don't order Hot Mess Fries to start, you are missing out totally!!!!!!! Really fresh and excellently prepared food. Definitely one of the food gems in Beaumont. read more

This is my go to Vietnamese Noodle House here in Beaumont. The egg rolls are delicious, the spring rolls were good (they are super sticky), and their pho is great. I did order their pho to go and the noodles never softened up or really broke apart. It could be my own doing but the flavor was there! The restaurant is always fairly full. I wish they would update their seats as a majority of them are peeling and their tables need to be refinished (they are really sticky). read more

We had pho here. It was ok. We have had better. Service was good. Servers were helpful.

the business owner claimed inflation however get better pho and spring rolls at all three of the other pho places in Beaumont. they added on to their building and remodeled now are trying to recoup the money from the customer. Not to mention their food and service is trash! Pho is my favorite food that I eat and this is one f the worst places I have ever ate read more

I love the grilled pork bun and fried rice in this restaurant. They are tasty but not overly flavoured.

The flavor of the marinated pork banh mi was okay, but the amount of meat in the sandwich was abysmal...I left behind half of the bread because I had to move all the meat to one side. The service was good, and the ambiance is nice. Will be back, not for the banh mi. read more

Their food is delicious. Their broth is the kind of food that will lift your spirits when you're sick with a cold and want something warm. So I know I am being very specific but it tastes homemade, not greasy at all, has a lot of herbs. read more

Sweet Basil Vietnamese Noodle House - Hot mess fries and ribeye pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Beaumont, Texas

(FOOD) Hot mess fries and marinated rib eye. The fries were the bee's knees. There were bits of beef and the sauce was AMAZING. I couldn't stop eating it omggggg. The marinated rib eye was good and even BETTER if you dunk it in their nuoc mam sauce. The rice was also authentic af. Impressive for a Vietnamese Asian fusion in a flyover city like Beaumont. (SERVICE) It was packed and it took a while to get service but the delicious food made up for it. (VENUE) The place doesn't look like much from the outside but has pretty big and clean interiors. Lots of parking so you'll be good, homie. Would I come back? HEELLLLL NO. BUT, if I was stranded in Beaumont I'll be here everyday. (; read more

The food is always 10000/10 & the service is always amazing. The loaded pork fries, soup, sandwiches, everything is amazing!

We stopped by for lunch and had a very taste meal. We had the vegetable noodles (mine with chicken and my wife had the pork) and they were delicious. They were a bowl of egg noodles with cabbage, carrots, onions, bok choy, and chicken (for protein) with a slightly sweet sauce that was especially favorful. I understand their Pho has the best broth and is also worth another visit. The atmosphere is good with plenty of tables and servers to provide excellent customer service. Can't wait to go back. read more

Service was so-so, but the food was not great. I ordered oxtail & brisket pho and they were very stingy with everything from the amount of bean sprout, the basil, the hoisin sauce, and the amount of noodles they put in the actual bowl. Like they gave pre-measured little disposable plastic cups of sauce?? Are y'all rationing around here?? Additionally, I had to ask the server for the veggie toppings.. their limes were good tho. Another note on the noodles, though, you can tell when the noodles are freshly cooked and directly put into your pho vs cooked, measured into a bowl, and then put in the fridge so when someone orders pho all they have to do is ladle the broth in the bowl. It makes the noodles a solid clump that you have to break up with your chopsticks. Unfortunately, the noodles were a solid clump in my bowl. So yeah overall a stingy and lazy restaurant that banks on the fact the demographic that eats here doesn't know what to expect out of Vietnamese food but then again they never said they were authentic cuisine. They should spend more of their budget on the food than the decorations. read more

We eat pho at least once a week. Decided to give sweet basil a try. Worst thing we could have done. Asked for a booth and the greeter acted like it was a problem, so we sat at a table instead. Server brought out the soy beans and garnish for the pho and I literally was like uhhh...there were enough soybeans for 2 bites. See pic. When I asked for more it was the end of the world. Server didn't check with us except to ask if we were ready for the check. Ridiculous. read more

Have been here a few time now and every time we had a great meal. Very good service. Looking forward to next time

The food is always great and the service good. It always looks clean and tidy. It has become a go to for us.

Completely LOVE this place for the flavors and some of the most unique Vegetarian options (not for myself mind you). Visiting family in the area, while traveling from Austin, we were pleased to drive from Port Arthur and find the travel worth the trip to come here. The marinated beef and pork is unmatched no matter which dish you try it on. The tofu salad I sampled was great and HUGE for the value. read more

Beaumont always seems to surprise me with the good food they have there. This spot is one of them. I came here and ordered takeout. I tried their tofu bun vermicelli and veggie crunch rolls. Both were great. I loved the grilled tofu, rice noodles, and the soy sauce based marinade that went with it. Every bite was delicious. The crunch roll was crispy and tasted great with the sriracha and fish sauce. I think this spot doesn't have the typical fish sauce marinade for the bun vermicelli. The crunch roll tasted more like Chinese egg rolls than Vietnamese egg rolls. But, the food quality is great. I can't wait to eat their food when I'm back in Beaumont again. read more
