" Basu is a lovely spot with a chill vibe. I recently tried their Pork Banh Mi, and it did not disappoint! The bread was perfectly crispy and the filling was delicious. The peanut sauce it came with made it even better. I enjoy the ambiance, it's a nice place to sit casually with friends or enjoy some quiet time. I left feeling satisfied and happy, plan to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Whenever I feel like indulging in Vietnamese cuisine, Basu is always the first place that comes to my mind. The flavors are fresh and distinctly Vietnamese, yet they have their own unique spin on traditional dishes. The service is prompt, and the pricing is reasonable for the quality provided. I had the sunny side banh mi, and I can confidently say it's a must-try. I can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an enjoyable meal at Basu with a friend. The beef pho was tasty, albeit a bit on the thinner side. The environment was very inviting, and the friendly staff made it feel cozy. However, I would have appreciated more variety in the menu options. Overall, I think it is still a worthwhile place to visit if you're in the mood for decent Vietnamese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" We loved our visit to Basu! The pho was delightful; just the right balance of savory spices. Spring rolls were fresh and bursting with flavor. Service was very attentive, and we appreciated the cozy ambiance. I found the portions were just right for the price. This is a manageable size without feeling overly full. Don't skip on their coffee either – it's amazing! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Basu! The pho reminded me of my travels to Vietnam, and I can honestly say I've never had better. The staff radiate warmth and genuine hospitality, which makes the dining experience so worthwhile. Even the iced coffee was exceptional—rich and addictively sweet. This is the kind of place you'll want to return to again and again. " (*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!
