" Pho Basil quickly became my favorite spot in Boston! Their pho is super flavorful, and I love the fact that they offer gluten-free options. The portions are generously sized, which is perfect for sharing. I also tried their spring rolls, which were fresh and delicious. The ambiance is cozy, the staff is friendly, and they really know their menu. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Vietnamese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely little spot for pho! We ordered the pho special and were not disappointed. The broth is flavorful, and the portions are huge for the price you pay. The ambience is casual and friendly, making it perfect for a bite with friends. I'd say it's worth the hype, though expect a bit of a wait during peak times. " (*Curated Review*)

" On a cold winter evening, I visited Pho Basil and couldn't have been happier! The Kao Soi was just what I needed to warm up. Beyond this delightful dish, the roti and curry dip were a hit with my friends as well. The service was very attentive, and we appreciated the friendly atmosphere. It seems like a favorite among locals, and I definitely understand why! Will be coming back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Pho Basil after a long day of exploring Boston, and I must say I was impressed! The Kao Soi was a delight, rich in flavor and perfectly paired with the provided toppings. The service was quick, even though the restaurant was busy. I appreciated the warm atmosphere, making it a great spot to relax after a hectic day. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I can't wait to repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" I like Pho Basil a lot! The flavor of their pho is unrivaled here in Boston. It's rich, aromatic, and not overly salty, unlike other places I've tried. Portions are great for the price, and the service was quick and friendly. It was packed, but we found a spot to sit relatively quickly. I plan to make this my regular stop for pho!

" I visited after hearing great reviews and had a decent experience. The pho was good, but I've had better elsewhere. The service was friendly, but it took a while to get seated even with a reservation. The vibe was nice and overall pleasant, and the portions were generous. I would still recommend it, but set your expectations accordingly. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an amazing experience at Pho Basil! We had a large group and they accommodated us right away, which was a pleasant surprise. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue, and it was rich and spicy just as I like it. The staff was attentive, ensuring our drinks were refilled without us even having to ask. The vibe was cheerful, and the food was undeniably delicious. Looking forward to returning! " (*Curated Review*)
