Consistently terrible service – The food is great and compares to the pho and bun I could get when I lived in California. However, after giving this place about 5 tries to overcome perhaps some of the worst and most incompetent service Ive had, I have to say, I cant go back. Your food either never comes, or servers never stop at your table. Wait staff are slow, inattentive, inexperienced, apathetic and cant explain the very basic menu to folks who have never had Vietnamese food. It was embarrassing to recommend this place to... read more

Finally good Vietnamese – I was spoiled by good cheap vietnamese food. I sorely missed this here in the triangle. Now Lime and Basil fills this need amply. A must try.

Good food, Poor service. – Since moving to NC from the midwest (away from my Vietnamese parents) I have been craving authentic pho. Lime and Basil fulfilled my cravings! However, once seated, it took the wait staff and hr to get serve us water and then another half hr to take our order. It was almost 2 full hrs before we were served dinner. The LONG wait would make me think twice about coming back. But I have to admit, the pho has been the closest to my mothers in the triangle area... Back in where I live, Pho is half the pr... read more

Delicious Chapel Hill addition – Very generous portions are presented with delicate spices and an obvious attention to detail. The tofu with lemongrass and chillis was good but the sauce, although flavorful, was thin. The vegetarian stir fry was perfect, and the fresh spring rolls were wonderful. Their thai tea bubble drink was tasty and fun!

Nice Effort, Above Average Result – As a person who has quite a bit of Vietnamese food, I enjoyed the overall experience. The restaurant has only been open for a few months, and with a little luck should work out the kinks. The "salad rolls" or, as it is often referred "fresh spring rolls" or "garden rolls", were the most pleasant aspect of the meal. The sauce was just right and with a little bit more cilantro it would have been perfect. The seafood soup with egg noodles was well done, but needed a little more flavor. The ch... read more

Tasty, authentic Vietnamese cuisine – Having lived in Vietnam and in US cities with lots of Vietnamese restaurants, this new Chapel Hill restaurant can hold its own when it comes to providing tasty, authentic Vietnamese cuisine at reasonable prices. Though the decor is not fancy, the restaurant makes it up with dishes of large portions. Staff is courteous and down to earth. Vegetarians will be happy for there are many options, but meat-eaters will be content as well. Finally, a good Vietnamese restaurant for Chapel Hill!
