I'm In Love – After visiting Vietnam, I've been on the search for a great Vietnamese restaurant to dine at and I believe I've found it, Lime and Basil! I must say this is the best Vietnamese Restaurant I've been to yet. It is extremely clean and the food is just amazing! My recommendations would be their salad rolls and their lemon grass grilled pork over vermicelli. They also have this great Vietnamese-French coffee. The decor was very appropriate and the restaurant itself was small but cozy. The service there was spectacul... read more

Amazing -- See for yourself! – I went here for the first time with my best friend and her mom a few weeks ago. Depending on the time that you go, there may or may not be quick seating. The atmosphere is great, and the food is to die for! Check it out!

It it's good enough for Dee – ...It's good enough for me! Absolutely the best Vietnamese food you can get in the South. Without a doubt, 2-t - the pho- is the right choice for any mood...whether it's an after GRE celebration or a rainy day comfort food. Every bite a party for the mouth!

Lime and Basil is inexpensive and has great food – After reading some of the other reviews, i wanted both asian food enthusiasts, as well as those unfamiliar to know that lime and basil has awesome food. The prices are great too. We often only spend about $15 to $20 and always get an appetizer, two entrees, and drinks. You really cannot beat the prices! The food is amazing. We get the salad rolls and the stir fried lemongrass chicken. The foo is great too. You have to go, but they close for a siesta in the middle of the day,... read more

no problems thus far – I've been to Lime and Basil quite a few times in the past year since becoming a student at chapel hill and have not seen slow service at all. The food arrives more quickly than most restaurants and the food is excellent. A little pricey, but worth it.

A delightful place! – I was having a hard time finding a good Vietnamese place to eat around the Chapel Hill area and my friend recommend me to Lime and Basil with a warning "Sometime the food can be slow" I was hesitate to dine there with all the bad reputation of how horrible the services was. However, all the time I been there I was happy with the services that I got. Customers are usually being seat right away. Sometime there might be along wait on the weekend. All the servers were very polite; they are more than happily... read more

horrible service – I had high hopes for this place because it's so hard to find good Vietnamese food here and I get tired of having to drive to Cary or Raleigh to get it. Alas, the service is so poor at Lime and Basil that I never went back after my first visit. Our waiter, ovbiously trying to stave off complaints, rudely told us even before we ordered that our meal would take an hour to arrive because they made all of their food fresh, and because they were busy. It seemed like he wanted us to leave so he wouldn't have to w... read more

Very good pho – Pho-nut would rank this and Pho-Cali in Raleigh as best pho in triangle. Only negative here can be parking (non-existent). Nothing wrong with service the 3-4 times I've been here. My only wish is that one of the triangle pho joints would do beef slices the authentic viet way-- thin raw slices that cook in near-boiling pho broth at the table.

Home-cooked traditional Vietnamese food and rich soups add flavor to the Chapel Hill scene. – In Short Lime & Basil's co-owner/chef learned to cook from her Vietnamese mother and opened a restaurant purely out of her passion for cooking. Decorated in cool lime green tones, the specialty at this casual restaurant is pho, a traditional soup-like dish of meat and noodles in a slow-cooked broth that's simmered overnight in meat and herbs. Also on the menu: plenty of vermicelli, vegetable and rice dishes.
