"10 stars really.I had the spring rolls on my first visit and damn near cried- they were the most delicious I've had since I backpacked thru S.E. Asia 25yrs ago. I also had the fortune to live in China and Thailand each for a year, so I'm familiar with these cuisines. You can taste the difference between food that's simply cooked as a job, even prepared well, and food that's made with love. All the food, every dish, and I think I've had them all, is cravable and I can taste the love that this chef cooks and assembles his dishes with... you're eating his love affair with ingredients. And that's so exciting to find! I've had the pleasure of talking to him and he researches, and tests, and deeply cares and his offerings. He's INTO it and I don't think this guy will ever stop searching or creating new and inspired recipes. And then there's the matriarch of the front end- who is generous, attentive and truly cares about their customer's experience. I've seen her patiently help people figure out what they want if they don't know what menu items are, and checks in often- which is pretty astonishing bc much of time there's only a 2 or 3 people running the entire show. I've also seen her handle a few really unfortunate incidents with the most un-pleasable, looking-for-an-argument customers, with the utmost grace. She truly tries to please everyone- but there are just a lot of dumb entitled people one has to deal with when in the service industry. I couldn't do it. She makes her own teas from scratch daily often with rose or lychee, soooo good!This place is a GEM and we've been eating there as close to once a week as possible. When I'm sick, I deeply crave their chicken broth- it's unparalleled! When I'm starving and it's late, I crave their noodles. When I'm on a restricted diet- they will do anything to accommodate my annoying limitations (especially annoying to ME bc I desperately *want* the noodles and rice- but never miss those when my dish without them arrives.)Add that, we often can't get to a restaurant early, and they are open later, we're super grateful for this! I will be a fan and customer and follow them wherever they go, whatever they do, on any food endeavor they try. If you're not near Victor, I promise you this place is worth the drive. ESPECIALLY if you know and love S.E. Asian food. I can't think of another restaurant that is of this quality, that is affordable, open later, accommodating, friendly and consistently delicious.So now I'm rethinking my rating of stars, and upping it by full magnitude- 100s."

Easily the best Asian cuisine that I've ever had. Every time I'm up in Victor to visit some friends, I come here at least twice. I usually get the Pad Thai.
Himani
This is one of the best Thai and Vietnamese restaurants I’ve ever been to. I ordered a vegetable spring roll and curry with rice, and both were outstanding—healthy and very vegetarian-friendly. The owner is incredibly welcoming as well!
Helen
We decided to forego another restaurant based on review and decided to try Sweet Basil instead. We are SO GLAD we did! The owners and staff. We're kind, warm people. The food was delicious, portions generous, and atmosphere was cozy. We will definitely return! (Try the Korean pancake. It is SO a delicious! View menu

The food here was incredible! We devoured the spring rolls and fried rice before I could snap a photo. The Pad Thai and lo mein were fantastic! The service was outstanding; they kept our little one entertained while we enjoyed our meal and even let us try a dish they’re considering adding to the menu. A perfect experience! 100/100!

After a long day of driving, we decided to stop here and were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food and the nice, quiet atmosphere. We couldn't get enough of the Jeon (Korean pancake). The pho (beef) and other dishes were just as flavorful. The portions are generous, which made us very happy to enjoy another meal there the following night. If I lived nearby, this would definitely be one of our go-to spots.

Coming from NYC area never had experienced this many Asian dish options with great quality and amazing flavor. My family and I had several dishes from meat to chicken and fish and some other awesome sides, we were amazed by none of them tasted alike. We were greeted with smile from the beginning till the end. Victor definitely needed a spot like this. Thank you guys for putting love as your main ingredient to your meals. View menu

What a wonderful new experience. My 12 year old son and I had lunch at Sweet Basil. The walls have local artists on display and for sale.We were served cups of loose leaf rose/lavender tea, just fantastic.We tried the fried, chicken spring rolls, with a just so perfectly spiced and sweet sauce. The chicken lettuce wraps perfectly seasoned with a side of rice noodles.The chefs wife is the hostess and her personality made us feel at home, even took our picture!It's a must for when we return next year on vacation!Vegetarian options: Very good!Kid-friendliness: So friendly!

Amazing food! If it were not a 5 hr drive, we would be back weekly. If you want fresh, perfectly cooked food in a family environment, this is for you. Just be sure you are not in a rush because you'll savor the experience.Vegetarian options: This was the most delightful find! I can't eat dairy or grains and was not disappointed in the least. The soup ? ? was delicious and every plate on the table from vegetarian to meat options was enjoyed thoroughly.Dietary restrictions: I didn't have to ask for special accommodations, they recognized it by how I ordered and made reccomendations.Kid-friendliness: The fried rice. Perfect ?
