Shrimp spring rolls were blah. No onion, basil or chive. Curry chicken rice bowl was ok. For the beef pho in MSG soup, sub par. Not coming back.

Great authentic Vietnamese eatery in Northbrook! I ordered the pork Bahn mi and pork egg roll it was tasty! Great crisp on the egg roll and bahn mi had the right medley of ingredients: cilantro, diakon, and carrots. Pork was well marinated. And French baguette was fresh and had the right crunch. Restaurant is located in the heart of downtown next to the metra station. Close to all other shops! If you’re look for a quaint but modern authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Northbrook this is the spot!!

My family came here and they really enjoyed the soup. They said it was super tasty and the service was fast and the atmosphere was relaxing.

Basu was a good find for healthy, tasty Vietnamese food. While I personally was not too thrilled with the portion size of the Bun noodle bowl, I was very satisfied with the banh mi and heard good praise for the pho.
Definitely worth a visit if you want good Vietnamese food, especially their banh mi. And there are few alternatives in the area…

We’ve been to this location ballpark 4-5 times in 2 months since we found that there’s a Vietnamese food place nearby! The ginger chicken bahn mi is superior, absolutely recommend with jalapenos! (They aren’t too spicy, but they add a layer of delicious with the lemongrass chicken!) The fresh shrimp spring are also just delicious, the peanut sauce that comes with is a REALLY nice consistency I didn’t know I needed- it’s perfect for taking a bite, drizzling some into the roll, and having another bite. Most peanut sauces are more “dipping” sauces, this is way more brilliant. They also carry a sparkling yuzu and white peach drink by Moshi that is REALLY delightful, and perfect with the bahn mi.
My guy ordered the beef pho last time, and I tried it, and I wanted to steal it, but my chicken curry was also really good, so I definitely want to order these again! There’s a few other locations around the area, but under a slightly different name, Lotus Banh Mi. Guy and I feel like the consistency between the 2 locations are excellent! HIGHLY recommend!
The atmosphere at this location is great, it’s off the street, with parking just around the corner, and the location has a very comfortable, fresh, feeling. We’re hoping to stop by for lunch one afternoon, get some things we haven’t tried yet, and walk around the area some- there’s a great park about a block away!

Surprisingly good! Our first time. Best Spring Rolls. Awesome Tofu Curry Rice Bowl and Sunny Side Beef Banh Mi. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Table top for two was a little small. Recommended.

Service at this cute eatery was definitely 5/5 ⭐️’s!
It was also clean, modern, and fresh. If you’re looking for a place to grab food that meets all these requirements (on this strip in Northbrook), this is your place!
Must try when visiting Northbrook.

Finally there is a Vietnamese eatery to go to. Been looking for pho in the area for a while and accidentally found this counter service restaurant while waiting for Metra train to go to work. Pho was good, noodle dishes were great. Service was excellent Will definitely come back and hope this eatery survives as previous two places open in this spot did not last more than a couple years.

Went there for the first time and I must say all the 3 dishes I got was delicious. The beef rice bowl, honey grilled port and spicy wings were fire. I’ll be back
