Saigon Basil - Mount Juliet

The Basil Fried Rice is ABSOLUTELY Delicious perfect heat sweet !!Highly Recommend

Good food, great flavors, and everything we ordered exceeded our expectations. Called them back and complimented them on a great COUPLE of meals!!! Great to have this side of town.

This is not an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. They are a Chinese owned restaurant and their pho lack any real flavor.

I spent 6 years in S.E. Asia in the 60/70 's. Bangkok and Saigon completely seduced me with their food back then. I have been disappointed many times here in the U.S. with attempts at their food but I was not disappointed at Saigon Basil. I would have been even happier if I could have had more types of street food but I have never found but 2 places in the U.S. that truly offer such street food variety. I recommend communication of your spice and heat desires. Their menu descriptions of heat are accurate! They will adapt to greater heat if you communicate what you want and allow time for the customization. Overall, I could have closed my eyes and dreamed I was back where food was incredible.

Both of our servers were nice. We both had pad Thai dishes, one chicken, one shrimp. Each entrée was overly sauced to the point of being soupy. The sauces were overly sweet, and I strongly suspect they came from a can. What made it worse was the aroma that came from both dishes was reminiscent of dog breath. We couldn't get out of there quick enough.
