Basil Viet Kitchen — Restaurant in Seattle

I’ve been going to Basil Viet Kitchen for the past year, and I’m always supremely satisfied with the quality and taste of my orders. I often order pho to go, and the way they package your meal is like no other. They put all the noodles and meat in a microwaveable bowl with a lid, keep the broth separate in a soup container, and give you enough bean sprouts to start a bean farm. I usually get the large, which gives me enough food for two meals. In the past I’ve gotten the chicken pho which is always delicious.

Both lack the spice flavors that were present preCOVID. There are instant options that are much better. Their pad thai is also wayyyy too sweet, I have hypertension from two bites.
