Basil Garden Pho - Vancouver

Ever since we discovered Basil Garden almost 3 years ago, we have never looked back. In fact, I think it is probably our most visited restaurant due to how close and delicious it is! Since I only wrote about the first visit 2.5 years ago and we come here at least once a month, I figured that warranted a re-visit post on this spectacular hidden gem.<br/ <br/

Video review on youtube: vancity food crew basil garden pho<br/ .<br/ I tried this place with a friend, and another friend recommended the pork bone broth noodle soup. It was delicious, like a hybrid ramen/pho dish. They also do regular beef pho, but my friend got the dry version of what I got with rice and egg noodles. It was only $10, good portion, will return.

Small place but cozy. Parking is tight, but I usually park along the street instead. I love the food here. Everything is tastey. The noodle soup broth is amazing. I usually order the Chicken Pho. There’s plenty if meat.

Good service, clean environment,ordered basil drink and chicken sub in this summer. Would come to try fried chicken wings and noodle soup with friend next time.

My visit came as a recommendation from “Flyingvee967”. A newer Vietnamese restaurant that was actually in my old neighbourhood in East Van. A restaurant he liked enough to go back to a couple of times, and one many might not stop at given its location. A little plaza with a couple of other restaurants on the corner of Broadway and Renfrew. I had past by it a few times, but never thought enough of it, to venture in. Not until Victor’s praise for it and it’s owner.
