All around outstanding restaurants! Food was amazing, broth was well balanced, fresh vegetables and the spring rolls were crunchy and very tasty! Staff were courteous and very polite. When asked, they offer tip on eating the Pho using provided sauces (I’m a beginner). Very fast service! Portions were huge! Cannot wait to go back and enjoy more. Highly recommend!

First time trying Pho Blue Basil tonight and it was a wonderful experience. The food was incredible and the staff was attentive and kind. We had a small beef Pho and chicken pad Thai and they were both incredible. We will be back!

Delicious! I’m vegetarian and usually a vegetarian pho is a boring/plain broth with a piece of tofu and a few veg thrown in. This was actually pho broth, like 3 different types of veggie protein, big veg hunks…amazing! Rolls handmade but didn’t have vegetarian ones that night, I’ll absolutely be back to try everything!!

The smaller serving was just perfect for me, broth is flavourful, generous amount of meat! Spring rolls are exceptional 👌, owner is lovely, welcomes customers like friends Place is clean and inviting. Will come back for sure. Must try for everyone!

We had the house special Pho, flavourful and generous portion of both meats and noodle. Can't wait for them to add more foods into their menu, like vermicelli & rice. We'll definitely come back.

Pho Blue Basil is the best in town for the authentic Vietnamese southern style flavour. Beef broth is made fresh daily and the owner Linh ensures the meat is always fresh from the local source. Every time my family goes there, we get treated like value guests with their friendly service. My hubby knows good pho when he eats it and he’s not even Vietnamese. Pho here is definitely a 2 thumbs up and 5 stars rating over all! We are excited for their coming menu expansion soon.

I ordered take out, and had the well done Pho and the spring rolls! They separated the broth from the noodles so it doesnt get soggy when I get home. Its super good especially the spring rolls! They were super accomodating and friendly when I was waiting for my food. I will definitely be back again, and next time I'll eat in!

Blue Basil has only been open 2 weeks, and with Pho broth, this good I'm guessing they'll do well. Absolutely delicious broth, generous portions of meat, fresh vegetables, and all the condiments. The spring rolls were excellent! The owner and staff are exceptional. I will definitely be back!

Excellent service! Woah! I was very much happy to see vegan options clearly labeled on the menu, and the vegetarian pho was confirmed by the owner as vegan which was a bonus. Vegetarian options: Vegan Dietary restrictions: Vegan options available! Kid-friendliness: Brought some crayons and paper for kids to draw on.

As soon as you walk in, you are treated like a long lost friend and welcomed. The Host & staff are incredibly inviting! We had fried spring rolls, pho tai and pad Thai. The flavours and aromas were perfect. I even have some leftovers! It seems we were lucky to get a table on a Monday night so perhaps make a reservation before you go. Im excited to visit again and try some other dishes. Thank you! Parking: More parking available behind restaurant

The owner took the time to be welcoming and hospitable. Super warm and friendly person, as were the other staff . Awesome menu selections, thoroughly explained to us . Food was quick to arrive and super delicious beef Pho bowl . They go through a meticulous process of creating their own broths from scratch , and these are delicately spiced without overkill in flavours . I felt like I had a healthy, abundant meal , at a very reasonable price , This place is far better service and flavour wise , than the other Viet place recently opened in Belleville. The overall vibe is calm, quiet and mellow. A wonderful experience . Will be returning

Wonderful addition to downtown Belleville. The broth was some of the best I ve had. The portion of beef was great. Can t wait to try the rest of the menu as it grows over time. Or just order the house special pho over and over. Dietary restrictions: Looked like lots of proper vegan options on the menu which I always love to see even though I m not vegan anymore! Parking: Easy street parking or park in the large lot behind the building

I had the house pho, and it was very tasty. The serving of meat was large (they didnt skimp on it). This is probably the best youll get for pho in the Bellevegas area. The restaurant was pretty busy - but its hard to tell at this stage if this is because of a novelty effect (it just opened). One downside - I was hoping for more menu options - but it is pretty much exclusively pho (the menu you see in other reviewer pics is correct - its one side of a crinkled piece of paper).

Pho Blue Basil is a must-visit for pho lovers! The broth is rich and aromatic, simmered with a perfect blend of spices, and served with tender beef, brisket, or veggie options that shine. Don t miss the crispy, flavorful spring rolls a perfect complement to your pho. Pho Blue Basil is more than a meal it s a cozy, flavorful escape into authentic Vietnamese cuisine!

We tried this tonight for the first time and it was incredible!!!! On par with anything we used to get downtown Toronto, dare I say even better. One to go order of the Rare Beef Pho was more than enough for two. Huge portions of beef and veg, loads of fresh herbs. This will be a regular rotation for our family. *Spring rolls were also terrific! HUGE, crispy and chock full of pork and flavour. Also of note We parked in the back lot and walked in the back door to order, out again w our food in less than 15 min. Brilliant!

Truly authentic Vietnamees noodle soup (Pho), well-filled with meat of choice and fresh vegetables including the essential herbs which came fresh to the table incl. loads of beansprouts. As I lived in Vietnam for several years I know how a good Pho should taste ... well this restaurant brought back memories.

We had take-out last Saturday. Our food was ready in no time! In fact, I had to ask to have it pushed back 20 mins just so I could make it there! We had the spring rolls and the Pho Thai. Both were phenomenal! The spring rolls were huge! And so was the Pho Thai. We had so much, I had enough for lunch the following day. And enough broth my wife had as a soup for lunch!

Wow! Wow! Wow! We have had Pho from major centres in Ontario and across Canada. Some of the highest reviewed restaurants. So I ordered takeout for the 2 of us, one would have been enough for us.

Traveling to Toronto from Fredericton New Brunswick. Stop by to have some pho soup. This place was amazing. The soup was tasty, one of the best. Ordered the house soup and the short ribs. Both were great. The owners were friendly, very attentive to the customers. The server was great! Love to see that owners care about their staff.

People told me theres a new Pho place opened in downtown Belleville and its really good, so, me, being an Asian, I have the responsibility to verify if it is actually good. Well, its THE best pho in town. I ordered house Pho, 19 dollars, very reasonable price, actually cheap for nowadays economy. soup is really good and flavorful, little bit too salty to my tongue but thats just personal preference. And, theres SO much beef in it, beef to noodle ratio is like 1:1, I was actually worried if this restaurant can even make money by putting that much of beef in each serving. Service is very good, tea pot never gone empty. I ordered spring rolls and both the waitress and owner came apologize that the spring rolls will come a little bit late because the oil takes a while to heat up, and I didnt even wait longer than 10 minutes. I think they also let you get more bean sprouts if you want more since the waitress asked me if I would like more bean sprouts, I didnt get any because I was so full by eating that 1 pound of beef in my Pho. Usually most restaurants make really good food and service when its newly opened and then both quantity and quality went downhills overtime, I hope this restaurant wont be those guys because it is a really good restaurant and good food and service, and I want to come back here for this same quality of Pho regardless how many years pass. Parking: Im not sure if there is any free parking spot for dine in the restaurant, please let me know if there is. I just parked in the paid parking lot behind the restaurant and its only a dollar for an hour

The reviewers before me werent exaggerating. This place is wonderful. The owners and staff are delightful. The restaurant is large but somehow still feels cozy. The menu is limited in a good way just some pho, spring rolls and a few drink options. The food arrived quickly. And the pho was to die for. Delicious, aromatic, so lovely. I couldnt finish the bowl. It was massive. But so, so yum.

We went here for the first time on the Thanksgiving weekend. I had the short ribs pho and I requested extra variety of beef. My girlfriend had the chicken pho, the spring rolls and ice & hot coffee. Im Vietnamese so Im pretty judgemental and have high standards on my ethnic food. This is one of the best pho Ive ever had, overall the food was delicious. The service and hospitality was great. This city lacks good quality authentic Vietnamese food. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

What a wonderful first Pho experience! Hubby surprised me with dinner for date night and took us to the Pho Blue Basil restaurant for something different. It did not disappoint. The food was amazing, flavourful and served in very large portions. The customer service we received was far above par. As a normal meat and potatoes eater I am very inexperienced using chop sticks. I asked for a quick lesson on how to use them, which they willing obliged. Definitely will return!
