I came here on a Saturday night and they got our party of 5 in with zero wait. The sesame chicken was fantastic, some of the best I've had and I love that they serve broccoli with it. The crab cheese wontons were also fantastic, and I love that they serve these cute and complimentary pineapple boats. Service was fast and the atmosphere was nice and quiet. I'll definitely be coming back!

Tasty food! I was in the area and stumbled upon this restaurant for dinner and am so stoked I did. I ordered the sesame chicken and my bf got the thai curry lime beef. Both of these dishes were so good and had tons of flavor! Not only was the food good, but the portions were great and definitely left me have leftovers to enjoy the next day. They also bring out a pineapple boat dessert at the end of each meal and it really was a nice way to round out the dinner. The staff here was extremely friendly and helpful and made our visit that much better. If you're in the area or just want some awesome food definitely stop by this place!

Raw chicken in my grilled chicken Vietnamese noodle bowl

We have been long time customers (10 years or so) but recently have had very disappointing food/experience. Ordered the appetizer ribs about a month ago and they were so over cooked and dried out we couldn't even eat them. Had a few orders where they missed some items. Called and they corrected. Ordered grilled chicken Vietnamese noodle bowl night before last and chicken was not cooked. Called to advise and they offered a credit for next purchase. There will NOT be a next purchase. Was a great place and sorry it has declined.

This place is always good. Good is very tasty and the crab wontons always hit the spot! Got the Thai peanut chicken this time and dang it is good!

The best spread! Sesame Chicken, Pad Thai, Fresh steamed rice, miso soup, eggrolls and wontons! NOM!

This review is for take-out only! The hubs and I have ordered Thai food here twice now, and have to say this is our go-to and favorite place in the area. WHY? 1) The ordering process is simple - over the phone, or online. We order through the Eat24 app, making the process fast and efficient!When ordering online, you receive a complimentary order of crab cheese wontons! YUM! 2) Prices are very reasonable for the area - with each entree being around $10-$12/person! 3) Delivery is the fastest I've found. With an estimated delivery time of 45-60 minutes, drivers usually arrive around the 30 minute mark! Drivers are insanely friendly and make for a nice experience! 4) Food is delicious! I'm a sucker for drunken noodle and this dish is the best I've tasted! Recently I opted for the Pad Thai while my husband stuck with a traditional favorite - Sesame Chicken! Everything is fresh and full of so much flavor! 5) Portions are HUGE - leaving plenty for leftovers the next day! Now that we have found our favorite spot, I know we'll continue to get our Thai fix from Wild Basil!

Enjoyed some delicious Thai tonight! We ordered the Pad Thai and the Pad Se Lew and it was delicious. Both meals had great flavor. Will definitely be ordering again!

Have you had that yearning feeling where you miss your homeland food and need to go to a local…read moreVietnamese restaurant that can fulfill your needs? Well that's how I felt this morning, so VinaMeals was where I ended. I ordered two items, so join me and read my food journey... Just had bánh ít tràn, a Vietnamese, steamed sticky rice dumplings dish. This dish reminds me of my mom's cooking where she used to make us this dish all the time to eat for breakfast. Lots ingredients inside the these three dumplings including mung bean, wood ear mushroom, jicama carrot, onion, garlic, minced with pork and shrimp. It came with steamed bean sprouts, cucumber, and fish sauce to dip the dumplings or just pour over the dish. I felt the accommodating items didn't add any value to this dish, but boy, did these dumplings bring back good memory. Of course, when you are here, you have to get their small wonton soup. It is one of the best I have ever eaten. I believe the broth that is the star, and the wontons come very close but just a second too late. This small soup is very filling, and I always wonder if adding a bowl of plain rice into the soup will make this dish a complete meal. We will have to find out later. As I am sitting here writing this review, I am truly enjoying the atmosphere. Listening to the music over my head, I am sing a little bit too loud, louder than mouthing the words. My head is moving from side to side, and my feet are tapping. I found my happiness here even though we leapt/spring one hour ahead earlier today.

Was looking for a light lunch option while I was touring nearby DU, and found this place based on…read moresome recommendations. So glad I came, this place is fantastic. Service was great, food came fast, but most importantly, the banh mi was hella delicious. I wish it had a few more jalapeño, but I bet it's a local preference thing, and I'm sure if I asked, they would have added. Also, I'm kind of a pig when I am away from home (hence my search for something light), and I'm always concerned a sandwich doesn't fill me up, but I am stuffed. Way more satisfying than a Subway sandwich, although comparing the two is somewhat insulting to this banh mi. I added the combo that provides an egg roll and iced coffee (I was going to buy a coffee for $5 anyways, the combo is $4. No brainer). Coffee is also delicious, and much larger than I thought it would be. TL/DR - Highly recommend this place. I will come again next time I'm in the area. PS - Tables are clean, restrooms are clean. Bonus.

I can't wait to go back to Banh Mi Station! I ordered the Lemongrass Grilled Pork Banh Mi…read more It was ready within minutes. The sandwich is served on warm, soft bread. When you take a bite you still get a light crunch from the crust of the bread. This texture adds to the sandwich's flavorful, grilled pork. I especially liked the light crunchy flavor of the pickled radish which is generously sprinkled on top. I couldn't eat the entire sandwich in one sitting but it was gone before the end of the day! The location is okay. It could use some asthetic upgrades but it's got that hidden gem feeling AND flavor. The ladies working were friendly. I will definitely be back!!!

Curb appeal is minimal, and then once you step in there are colorful umbrellas on the ceiling, the place appeared clean and we were greeted with a friendly hello. There's even a little selfie archway with flowers and lights. We tried some staples like panang curry, pad see ew, tom kha soup, papaya salad, sticky rice, and a new dish we had never tried which was a sort of pepper noodle with beef. Everything was good, but the stand out dishes were the pad see ew and the tom kha soup. The broth of the tom kha was super flavorful, hit all the right notes of coconut, kaffir lime, and lemongrass. It was sumptuous and warming. The pad see ew had just the right level of flavoring which was subtly salty, the perfect cook on the noodle so as not to be falling apart, and a nice crunch to the broccoli without being raw. The one dish I was hoping would be better was the papaya salad. It didn't feel as fresh as vibrant as some other Thai restaurants and the sticky rice was not quite cooked yet--dried out and a little hard. Overall, it was very nice to find this place in Englewood, and we will for sure be visiting again to try other tried and true dishes as well as new ones!

I am so glad that they are so consistent and have not changed recipes or adjusted seasonings. Ordered our two favorites - pickled pepper beef and mapo tofu. Then the string beans and a new dish - sauerkraut fish filet. The sauerkraut fish filet reminded me of the Vietnamese catfish soup but no sweetness added. Very good dish and will def order again. Also love that they have quality rice here.

Decided to come here because I was craving Chinese food and heard good things about this place…read more Figured I'd give it a try. We ordered the fried tofu (with peppers and onions), orange chicken, fried fish fillet, and veggie delight (mixed veggies). The fried fish fillet was definitely the standout. Perfectly crispy on the outside with a light, tangy layer of sauce that added flavor without making it soggy. Easily my favorite dish of the meal. The fried tofu was also really solid and flavorful with just the right amount of spice. The peppers and onions complemented it well without overpowering the tofu itself. The orange chicken was okay. I tend to compare orange chicken to Panda Express (probably unfair, but it's my benchmark), and this one didn't quite hit that same balance of crispiness and sauce. I think if it had a bit more meat within each piece, would be better. The mixed vegetables were decent but not something I'd order again. They felt a bit drenched in sauce and didn't have much depth in flavor. One of the highlights of the visit was meeting an elderly woman who helps out when it gets busy. She mentioned she was the former owner. She was incredibly kind, and we ended up having a really nice conversation in Mandarin. That personal touch made the experience even more memorable. Otherwise, really nice venue with lots of space and tables. Waiters always refilled my water, which is a good plus. Also gave me fresh rice when I took the leftovers to go. Overall, a solid meal with a couple standout dishes. I'd definitely come back for the fried fish fillet and tofu. Will be back to try their other dishes.

I ordered the heart attack roll, it came out 20 minutes after everything else to the point we thought it had been forgotten. It is important to note this is advertised as an "appetizer roll". We had already finished everything by the time it came out. It was very bland. Our server forgot 2 separate items we asked for, even after we asked again.

They have some happy hour specials, which is nice, but they weren't very interesting. I ordered a nice 300ml bottle of sake, which should come chilled, and it was decidedly room temperature. The server did bring out an ice bucket to put it in, but it was way too late to chill the bottle. I scoured the menu for specialty rolls that didn't come with loads of gloopy sauces on top and didn't find any. I really despise Americanized sushi rolls that are covered in sauce, but I ordered 2 of the more appetizing-looking ones along with the new style sashimi and salmon sashimi. The new style sashimi was described as coming with cilantro (which is how it usually comes) but there was no cilantro in sight and instead they were covered in copious amounts of jalapeños. The cuts were also pretty butchered, particularly given the cost. The rolls were palatable, but entirely too big for my mouth, which just makes eating a bit like choking. I did receive a small complimentary dessert, which was decently tasty. The server was very friendly, but he sort of forgot about me in the end. With all these things in consideration, I probably won't be back. given the location, I would choose Makizushico for dinner over JP Nori every time.

I recommend planning ahead with a reservation, as they can get busy during a dinner rush. We were visiting Colorado for a quick weekend trip and were floored by the food here. While the rolls all sounded great, we opted for an omakase experience. It is priced at market value, so I imagine this could vary over time, but they had three tiers for omakase, which I thought were all fairly priced for the amount of food included. We opted for the highest tier, which was $120 pp, and it was incredibly filling with high quality cuts of fish and a thoughtfully curated menu. The sushi chef who took care of us was incredibly kind, and it was clear he put a lot of care into the food he prepared.

There was also zero indication whether you seat yourself or wait to be seated, so customers are left awkwardly standing around wondering what's going on. To make things worse, the entrance feels bizarre and rundown, like you're sneaking into the back of a storage building instead of entering a restaurant. If you want real wasabi, go to a proper sushi restaurant. This felt more like a watered-down imitation than a real dining experience. 1/10
