Basil Bowl,

1302 Centaur Village Dr, Lafayette, CO 80026, United States

"As part of our mission to try every Vietnamese restaurant in the Boulder area, and after getting a reliable recommendation from a friend, we popped in here about a half hour before they closed after lunch. The service was given with a smile and was prompt. The pho we ordered came in a huge bowl easily big enough to feed two people. The broth was our favorite so far in the whole area and the other ingredients were fresh and reasonably plentiful. The mixed grilled meat noodle plate was very good and a dead-on ringer for my favorite order at my OG hometown Vietnamese place in another state, making it such good comfort food. All in all, this is now our favorite Vietnamese joint in the area, though it is unfortunately a little drive from us. Still, we will be back when we are in the area time and time again. Highly recommend."

"Some of the best Thai, Pho, Curry, Soup, and Stir-fry you’ll find! Casually sit inside or take it to-go. Truly wonderful food. Truong, the main waiter, is so kind. Basil Bowl is a hidden gem."

"This place has absolutely amazing Vietnamese and Thai food, and the owners are the nicest people you will ever meet. They use fresh ingredients every single day, and they are so passionate about providing excellent food and service. You can tell they love what they do and want everyone to enjoy their food. It's incredibly affordable, especially considering it is such great quality, authentic, and the flavors are top notch. The pho is amazing, as is the drunken noodle, basil chicken, and Vietnamese crispy egg roll, but I would bet everything on their menu is incredible! Highly recommend!"

"This place was great! We got the fried rice and the drunken noodles. Staple dishes for our first time here. Both were excellent. I asked for the highest spice level for the noodles (1-4 I picked 4 “fire”) and it was wonderfully spicy but still maintained good flavor. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. The chicken dumplings were also good and had a nice flavor and were cooked well. Cute little neighborhood spot and we will definitely be back."

"Impressive! My tofu with peanut sauce dish was really dang good! One of the best sauces I’ve ever had if I’m being honest. It’s an unassuming place that felt both casual and welcoming. The owner was extremely nice and helpful. I think this will be my go to Thai spot moving forward!"
