The won ton soup broth was absolutely delicious, the won tons tasted home made, and the veggies were fresh and flavourful. The salad rolls were great. The portions in the bowls we ordered were generous and the cucumber/lettuce/carrot salad were crunchy fresh. Top points for taste, freshness and appetizing appearance. The waitress was really friendly, they seemed to be doing a brisk phone in/take out business, and we'll be going back again, especially for the won ton soup.
The downside is there was only one waitress for the whole restaurant so other than taking our order and bringing tea once, we didn't see her again until we were finished. Also, the soup came out right before the other food so by the time we finished the soup, the bowl food was cold.
The food was excellent. Everything from the bahn mi, to the pho, grilled meats and the salad rolls. Flavours and texture were top notch. We would definitely come again.
Basil on Pho is now the new restaurant that's taken over the old Mekong River Reataurant. New ownership, not just a name change.
I've eaten a lot Pho over the years and can tell good broth (with proper stewing techniques) from generic quickie broth. This restaurant certainly uses good home style broth and nice textured noodles. The meat used isn't too chewy and the meal overall was good. I'll probably be coming back again and would recommend this restaurant to others.
