If you're looking for legit Pho, this is the place!I was surprised how good the pho broth tasted. Good balance of spice and beef fatty goodness. I order the Sate Pho, amazing good. Light, spicy, with a good hint of lemongrass. This is as OG as it gets. If you're looking for the thick peanut sate, this is not it. I'm usually a big fan of the thicker sate broth but this is freshening and light. Good ratio of meat and noodles. Of all the pho places I visited in Canada, this place gives you jalapeno peppers with basil as a side garnish, love it! Gives you the nostalgic feeling of how Pho is served in the US..Super friendly staff and excellent service. ?
Spicy pho was just right. Ate half their menu family style and they had our food out super fast.
A gem in Kelowna to satisfy some Asian food taste buds. Service was quick, seatings are spaced out. The parking stalls at this mall is so narrow that small car could barely fits.
TOTAL Bad service. Servers are neglecting selective customers . The service attitude of employees directly affects the reputation. There are two young waiters, one male and one female. The male lacks enthusiasm and smiles, but it is acceptable. The female is just telling you in her behavior that you 're not welcome, totally unacceptable. I feel that I will never step into this restaurant again in the future. Most importantly, the attitude of of the servers and mediocre quality of food affects the reputation BIG TIME**** yeah right. continue keep making up stories. i ain’t gonna visit u guys again
So good ! We choose different plates from the Menu to share and everything was delicious and very good served. And the service was super good
I went to this Basil Leaf on Kent Road for the first time yesterday. I had the spicy lemongrass pho. It tasted delicious and the large size was extremely filling. I thought I found my new pho place.I couldn’t finish it so I decided I’d have the left overs for lunch. When I opened the container I saw the pho water was completely solidified and was basically all fat. Like you can see the fat!!!I’ve had pho before and this hasn’t happened to any of the left overs ever. I’m pretty grossed out by how much fat I just consumed yesterday. ?
The presentation of their food is very good. But I feel it lacks meat. Also the only reason for the 2 stars is because the waitress that I had tonight was quite rude and pushy which majorly ruined my dinner. I came in after work for a nice relaxing dinner while I could go through emails. She threw the menu on the table and walked away. I then got on the phone and was on it for about 3-4 minutes and she then came and stood at the end of the table while I was on the phone. I could tell she wanted my order but I hadn’t even had a chance to look at the menu yet. I then had to put my phone down and say I need a few minutes again she appeared to give me attitude. The restaurant only had 1 other table filled at the time so it’s not like I was keeping them from seating others. I then ordered an appetizer and dinner. I was about 1/4 of the way through my appetizer when she came with the entree. I wanted a nice relaxing evening while eating but I felt like she was rushing me and throwing food at me when she could see I was still Enjoying my appetizer. I was 3-4 through my meal and she then brought the bill. I said, do you guys have a dessert menu? She says no, I then say can I order something to go? She says sure, I then look at her and ask her for a menu. She acted like I should have known it and she rolls her eyes. She then brings the new bull before the Togo meal comes. I then tip 20% for the dinner and Togo so she really got a much higher percent tip and I say thank you very much, it was delicious, and she again rolls her eyes, says OK and walks away. She didn’t thank me for roughly 20% tip despite being rushed through dinner and not offering refills or anything. I then thank her and she says OK and storms off. She really needs an attitude check and definitely needs to learn how to be pleasant with customers. I was willing to look by everything but when I gave a more than generous tip for terrible service and all I get is an OK that’s what really frustrated me. Good food, wish there was more meat, but girl needs to be trained or not be in this line of work. It definitely ruined the experience for me and now unfortunate the establishment has a 2 star review because of her.
Got Spicy Lemongrass Pho based off the recommendation from the server. Totally amazed. Great balance of flavour and spice (I got medium but you can choose mild or spicy). Beef balls and beef were exceptionally standout. Thoroughly enjoyed this, highly recommend.
We stayed at Farield Marriott near by. Had take out from Basil Leaf. Again like last year consistently excellent good food and salad rolls.??
Salad roll with prawn is good. I’m not a fan. There is no mint and the sauce has fired onion in.Crispy tofu is too deep fried for me and little bit salty but good (if you like tofu like I do) overall.Laksa is creamy and has strong South Asia flavor. The soup is rich with chicken, eggs and crispy fired tofu in it. Too strong for me but husband enjoyed it - he is not a fan of my homemade laksa lol.PHO! My favorite among the four. The spicy lemongrass option just adds lemongrass in the Social beef option, and some hot spice I guess. We both love it. The beef slice and beef ball are really tender and flavorful. The soup looks light though, it tastes very fresh and rich. I added mint and lots of lime juice in - made it much better I’m sure.I highly recommend this restaurant for south east Asian noodles.
