" Let’s talk about the shrimp spring rolls! They are a highlight at Basu! The crunchiness and the dipping sauce are fantastic. The service was also quick, and the restaurant was set up nicely, making it comfortable to enjoy your meal. The only downside was that I found the noodle bowls a little on the bland side, but I'm willing to return to try something else next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I come to Basu, I leave with a smile. The first time, I ordered the ginger chicken bahn mi and I still crave it weekly. I added jalapenos as the owner suggested, and they complemented the lemongrass perfectly. The fresh shrimp spring rolls, however, are what keep me coming back! The balance of flavors is brilliant, and the service is so charming that I always feel welcomed. A great place for a casual meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! Basu has become my go-to for Vietnamese fare. The iced Vietnamese coffee is the best I've ever had—strong and perfectly sweet! The staff are always smiling and eager to help. Last time, I had the sunny side beef banh mi and it was just delicious. I appreciate the attention to detail in flavor and presentation, making each visit a pleasure! Can't wait to try more on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a flavorful bowl of pho at Basu! The ingredients were fresh, and the broth was rich and aromatic. However, as a fan of spicy food, I wish they offered some hotter condiments on the side. The restaurant also has a very welcoming atmosphere, making it perfect for casual dining. I'll try visiting again soon to test out their other menu items. A solid experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Basu is always a pleasure! The iced coffee hits just the right note, especially with the desserts. I love their veggie bowls too, which are fresh and generously sized. The atmosphere leans towards the casual side, which is perfect for a quick bite. I have it on my list to come back and explore more of their menu – totally satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)

" The iced coffee at Basu is 100% worth mentioning! It's strong and satisfying—a must if you're a coffee lover. The banh mi I ordered was tasty, the bread was fresh and crunchy, but I was looking for something a bit more flavorful. Still, the overall experience was lovely thanks to the friendly staff and nice atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Basu Coffee Bar is a pleasant little spot! The pho was pretty decent, but what really stood out was the delicious shrimp rolls, so fresh! The ambience is casual yet intimate enough to enjoy your meal. The service was friendly and accommodating. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Definitely a good option if you're in the area!
