Basu Coffee Vietnamese Eatery

This bright cafe serves a variety of coffee and tea beverages. The Vietnamese cuisine includes flavorful and well-seasoned rice bowls, fresh and tasty shrimp rolls, and sauces that enhance the dishes. The staff is courteous, welcoming, and adept at maintaining a steady flow of food and drinks while keeping the tables prepped for the next diner. Additionally, it's a perfect spot for train enthusiasts, with windows overlooking the Metra station.

This is a fantastic spot to enjoy coffee and lunch. The food is also very tasty! Just a heads up, the Vietnamese coffee is quite strong, but worth trying.

We ordered ginger chicken pho and two iced teas without milk. The oolong and jasmine iced teas were very sweet and delicious. However, the pho was disappointingly salty and lacked flavor, with minimal garnishes and no hot peppers. The service was helpful and considerate with no complaints. The atmosphere was pleasant and airy inside, but the music volume could be slightly lowered.

The banh mi are absolutely phenomenal. I recommend either the pork or beef personally but I'm sure you won't be disappointed with anything you get here.

Great food, coffee, and boba tea. Fast, casual atmosphere. Friendly and accommodating service.Everything always tastes great but I'm especially a fan of the wings and the pork Banh Mi. Just make sure to ask for jalapeños as they don't come by default.
