I have eaten all over Ontario and this place has the BEST soup!!! If you want home cooked style healthy food you must try it. Dillon and his family make each visit a great time.
Amazing food as always never disappoints
Great food. Lovely owners. Family run. Love the soup.
Excellent authentic Viet and Thai. My wife and I love this restaurant. The staff are very polite, and accommodating. The food is always delicious, especially the pho and curry dishes. The atmosphere is nothing to be excited about but who cares when you have food this good and service at very reasonable prices.
Food and service is the best.
We love this place! Best thai food we've had ANYWHERE!
Great food
Love these ladies, great service! In love with the veggie rolls, so fresh and delicious with the peanut sauce. Ask them to make it spicy ????
Absolute fave place for pho and Tom yum
The stop looks sketchy on the outside, and not most tidy on inside either. Service was good, polite and fast. Not very impressed with the taste of the food, we ordered the tomyum and it was watery & flat tasting. Though had massive portions and decent price.
Great food Love the deep.fried.spring rolls
This is my GO TO for all foods Vietnamese. The food is flavourful, consistent and the staff is super friendly. They have been around for some time so they have a large number of regular patrons, me being one of them! The owners are so sweet and friendly. Glad I found this gem.
The Hot and sour soup is amazing!
Decent place. Wouldn't eat in there but I do tend to pick food up. Prices can be a bit better for the portion sizes. Paying 11$ or so for a Chicken Pad Thai only to find out that there's barely any chicken in there, and its not even served to the top of the container. Happened multiple times. Also not very filling, as something going for 11$ should keep you content for 1-2 hours after eating it but thats not the case cause its very light food. Price & portion mainly. It is good food as though so 10/10 for that. I just think the portion size should be adjusted a bit for such a price tag. I love pad thai and I feel like Viet Thai kind of lets me down in terms of it b/c of the low amount of actual protein/meat and the overall serving size. Very nice staff though. 3/5
This soup cures what ails me. Thank you for making delicious healthy soup!
This place is a gem for authentic Vietnamese food that is very fresh and so reasonably priced, they are so friendly it's like eating with family !
So delicious every time!
Allways good with great food. One of the best Thai Restaurant's in Brantford. Went to all of them here
Love their Pho! The best!
Love this place. We go weekly. Nice family owned restaurant.
The hot place dish was delicious. My partner and I loved the food and the tea. It has been a long time since we had such authentic Vietnamese food. Kudos to the chef for maintaining the standard.
Excellent food in a family friendly, unpretentious environment. We are definitely eating here again.
Excellent food and service
Such a sweet family! Amazing food, and more than reasonable prices! They really go out of their way to make sure their customers are satisfied.
This is a great family run restaurant with authentic flavours. I typically order their beef pho or the vermicelli dishes. I have never been disappointed with the order. The owners make you feel like you are part of the family. It is a great place to bring your family to or have lunch with a colleague to catch up. The only reason it gets a 4 instead of a 5 is because the decor is on the dated side.
Fantastic food and good prices. Worth the visit. Take out, also.
Always wonderful; great food and friendly staff!
Hairs in my takeout food - I got takeout yesterday and my salad contained multiple short grey hairs. Pretty sure that wasn't part of the included ingredients listed. Too bad the food smelled good. Unfortunately can't recommend anyplace that careless.
The pho broth isn’t as flavorful as I’ve had in many other restaurants. They added sesame oil to the top almost like a garnish and it overpowered and made it greasy. They do not provide jasmine tea at the table which I found strange as well. If you want to order tea it is $4.50 . The server was nice and friendly.
Great food and friendly staff. Good value for the money. Recommended !!
The best place for Thai in Brantford
My favorite restaurant in all of brantford, a lovely family owned and operated restaurant with warm comforting food and positive environment
Amazing food
Viet Thai turns my frown upside down
This is the best Thai place in town. It is family owned and run, very friendly, they remember you by name, fast and fresh and reasonably priced food with unending Jasmine tea if you eat in. I usually get the pho, sweet and sour soup, or pad Thai, fresh rolls and pork crispy rolls, all are excellent.
Your experience here is as authentic as visiting Quebec City for a feel of European life. Viet Thai Basil is a family friendly restaurant run by family. You have an ambiance of life in south east Asia. Try everything on the menu. Dillon his mom and wife are the most personable people, producing healthy very tasty traditional south East Asian cuisine. The four flavours of Sweet Salty spicy and sour are masterfully combined to give us diners the best dining experience.
Doesn't look like much, but the foods fantastic and the process are super low.
Great food. Great restaurant. Excellent service. Family owned and operated. Highly recommended. I usually order take out at least twice a month.
Reasonably priced and delicious, pho Is amazing!!
Amazing authentic Viet cuisine!! The environment and service matches this awesome hidden gem. Definitely choose here if you want an authentic experience all around ????.
First time eating here and I have to say, the food did not disappoint! Our waiter was very friendly and polite. There were quite a few tables and he was very apologetic with the wait - which by the way, was not a long wait at all. A great first experience and will definitely be returning in the near future!
Good portions. Authentic food from friendly and hard working staff
Living in Toronto now and still haven't found any place close to this. Other restaurants need to focus more on food then having a beautiful dining area.
Best pho in brantford easily.
Best Thai Restaurant in Brantford! The food is so fresh and amazing!!! The staff is super friendly!!! You’ll be glad you visited!!!
Luv the food here!
This place is dynamite. A family owned establishment and has that homey feel as soon as you walk in. The family that run it are amazing people. Can't say enough good things about them. Salt of the earth.
Awesome food at great prices.
This place is phonominal ,yes I said it pho-nominal.
Good food, great price and friendly staffs
Favorite pho place in town.
The best in town. Kid friendly great price good portions and yes authentic
Looks like an authentic Vietnamese restaurant and was not disappointed. Didn't try a lot of things because I was not too hungry so just ordered a Pho tai. Taste great. Will go back again and try other stuff. Wait staff are probably owners and family. Friendly and helpful.
Great food. Try anything. Nice family run restaurant.
Friendly reminder: Go there when you are feeling a little bit to starving, the food is delicious there in general, but it takes forever to be on the table.
Been coming here for many years, my go to place for Pho. Always delicious, and the best chicken fried rice in my opinion. Friendly staff, good prices, great food, a must try.
Amazing Pho!
They always have a good chef and the atmosphere is never missing the homely quality care, if you like comfort it's a different country style of home and hearth for sure!
Good food run by small family
Eaten here for over 10 years. Always happy with the food and service. Quiet family run. Nothing fancy just quality food and friendly relaxed atmosphere
(Translated) Best stock (Original) Best phò
I will order the rare beef pho every time. Now I found the new food, spicy shrimp pho. I like rice noodles very much. Not wide also not much. Meanwhile, soup is really delicious.
The only reason we went was because of such good reviews they received. The shrimp wrap they served was frozen. The place was dirty and bugs/dead bugs in places. And I have had better thai food than this.
Always amazing
Authentic and delicious
In Brantford to train at the fantastic hospital here. On-call and needed some dinner, so I headed over. Got red curry with chicken. Good flavours. I got at medium spicy which wasn't spicy enough, but definitely very flavorful. Good coconut flavor, not over-powering. Two best parts about the curry. Crisp vegetables and so much variety
This place is absolutely Amazing. The food is always delicious and fast. The customer service is very friendly and comforting. One of the best places in Brantford to get food!
If you want filling and hearty pho then come here. The prices are very reasonable, the family that works here is very friendly, the portions are generous. We love that the pho is so soothing and full of flavours, it definitely makes you feel so much better if you are recovering from a cold or bad day. Lots of popular Thai and Vietnamese food options. Simple food is awesome especially when it tastes delicious and is filling without hurting your wallet. The decor might be a bit simple and dated but that's ok, you are there for the food!
Very nice and peaceful place. Food is very very foog and tasty.
Maybe the oldest south east Asian restaurant in town. Survived a big pressure from many newer, fancier restaurants with similar menu. Must have some good reason.
Food is excellent. My friend Nik ordered Vietnamese coffee and he's can't believe it takes 10 minutes. It was worth it.
Great casual family-oriented restaurant. Great for kids and food is delicious.
Great staff their pho soup is the best must try it ????
Amazing people very very friendly.
Amazing soup!
Best vietnamese food around
My favourite Vietnamese restaurant! Delicious food and great service!
I love Vietnamese and Thai dishes. I’ve known about this place for quite some time but got the chance to go a couple of times only recently. (Note: they are closed on Mondays.) The first meal I had was shrimp Pad Thai. It was a big portion, filling and well-seasoned. Lunch on another day was a large House Specialty Pho, with beef balls, tendon and flank. It was, again, a generous serving. Pho is not pho without the sprouts and basil leaves and, of course, a touch of hot sauce. Lime juice gives it also a refreshing taste.
The food is delicious. My husband n I were just passing through, saw the restaurant n decided to try it out. We were very impressed. The staff were very friendly n it seems they are on good terms with all the patrons there n even those who came in for take out. Seems to know everyone by name. The chef even went out of her way to bring us an extra dish for us to try! The food is very good, much better than most of the Vietnamese food we tried at other locations. Will definitely come back.
Absolutely delicious Portions are huge, staff are friendly and able to explain any enquire you have about the dishes. My little one always get a treat from them.
Great friendly family run restaurant. No bells and whistles, just good food served by friendly staff. My 3 year old daughter loves the kids meal.
Pad thai was salty and fishy. The slice of beef in the pad thai was undercooked. Pho was too salty. In the backroom, the grandma was singing in Chinese in a loud voice. Very noisy. I would not recommend this place.
I've always had take out from this place. Their rice paper rolls are delicious.
Love this restaurant. Best pho I've ever had. Service is fast and friendly!!!
Best food in Brantford! Get the pho.
Such excellent food at such a great price. I've been coming here for a year and it's one of my all time favourite restaurants in brantford! If you're coming by check it out for sure!
Our favourite local spot! The sweetest family-run business. So kind, always fast and efficient, and the food is incredible. Our favourites are the rare beef Pho and the pork vermicelli bowl (which is the best we’ve had).
Great food, and definitely get your money's worth. However we were just in there eating our "Sizzling Plates" and at first it didn't seem too warm in the restaurant, but as it got a little warmer we moved one of the 2 floor fans to point in our direction by the window. Then a family of 3 comes in and we hear a conversation between them and the restaurant staff about how "people keep coming in and sitting by the hot window and ordering hot food when it's so hot outside" (35°) and then proceeds to turn both floor fans toward the family instead of spreading the cool air around to the people the staff are apparently so concerned about sitting in the warmer places... The fans/air conditioning aside - we found it extremely disrespectful that the staff took it upon themselves to talk about their customers in a Vietnamese/English mix while they're standing 15 feet from those customers. We sat where we always sit, and I don't want to assume anything about the situation, but we FELT that because we declined their offer to sit in the spot they suggested instead - that they chose to purposefully make it an unpleasant experience for us. Weve been to this restaurant a lot, it's our favorite Thai Restaurant so that's why we were extra disappointed with the staff.
I get the raw beef pho all the time here and it is amazing every time! Really recommend it
Great service and beat pho in town!!!
kitchen worker speak very loud, a had a lipstick mark on water glass
Tasty meal and an affordable price.
My favorite pho spot in brantford. If your a pho enthusiast do not hesitate
My favourite pho ever!! Family owned and run. Always so much love and care out into every dish. Great to order to go or eat in. They have 2 adorable children there sometimes too. Just a humble little dining room but can't express enough how good the food is. And well priced for huge portions!
Good soup
Awesome
Really good pho, rivals established chains in the GTA.
Just good food
Great rare beef noodle soup.
Awesome food!! Great family run business! A must try!!
great pho in brantford
In response to Phoenix Hoang’s review, I most certainly believe that I was present at the time of their visit. I couldn’t believe the amount of disrespect they had displayed, bringing outside snacks, being very demanding and being outrageously ignorant towards the employees. If they wanted to have a picnic, a restaurant should not be the place! For those of you who are food enthusiasts, learn to read the signs on the door before entering ANY restaurant. But all in all, I enjoyed my stay at Viet Thai Basil Restaurant and would definitely recommend the PadThai!
Best pho and great service !!
Never disappoints! Best pho of life! Amazing restaurant
Pho is definitely one of the best I ever have in Canada. The price is reasonable, the portion of pho is big. Though I don't live in Brantford, I will come here frequently for the pho.
Lovely family run business. Nothing fancy, but the food and service are great. Every time I've been there, I've been greeted with a smile and left with delicious food.
Such a nice little place. Great food and good size. The first time I went they made me buy a drink and I instantly thought I'm never coming back. But then as soon as I got my food which was a great size for the price and had a bit of it I was sold! Great little place! Whenever we have a hankering for a bowl of pho, this is where we go! We usually also have an order of spring rolls and some of their delicious tea. Good value, tasty and filling! Staff are friendly and helpful.
Friendly staff and tasty phó. I always enjoy coming here for a meal.
Love this place. Recommend everything on the menu.
Fresh and delicious food! Come here anytime I'm in Brantford. Their Hot and Sour soup is the best!
Excellent Pho! Friendly service. Coming back soon.
Hot fresh and delicious pho and the fish green curry is out of this world mmmm
Best thai food ever, Pho is amazing
Great food at a great price
Best Tom Yum in Brantford and the next Pad Thai hands down. It's really sad when I see or hear about people going to My Thai. The food their is more expensive, lower quality and it's a chain! Viet Thai, on the other hand, serves amazing food in a comfortable atmosphere and is a FAMILY BUSINESS! If you love Thai and Vietnamese food, look no further :)
My friend and I stopped at the Viet Thai Basil for dinner on our way through Brantford. He had eaten lunch there before, but neither of us had dined from the dinner menu. We decided to try the set meal for 2. Lots of food for $36 (plus tax & tip). 2 meat spring rolls, 2 large shrimp fresh rolls, chicken lemongrass soup, rice, noodles, chicken with vegetables and shrimp with vegetables. More that the 2 of us could eat! Everything was fresh and well cooked. The soup had just the right amount of fire from the chili oil floating on top. Service was fast and friendly. This is a cheap and cheerful, no frills kind of place with good food in excellent portions.
The food was fresh and delicious. Staff was wonderfully polite. A must try restaurant. Pho was delicious, shrimp pad thai was yummy, all dishes we ordered for the group was appetising and pleased the senses visually and aromatically.
Me and my wife absolutely love this place !!! Always treated amazing and served great food. Will always be a customer !
Always good food always friendly always clean. Always love my visit in .
Have wanted to try this place for a very long time and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity of food for the price. Unlike some other establishments (you know who you are) in town where you have to order rice and any spring rolls separately, they have a great combo that is fully customizable for one low price. Have already been back here twice after just trying the place. You won't be disappointed!
awesome place for great authentic Thai food. Great price and quality. Friendly staff and very very clean . A must try if you have not before.
2 1/2 pièces of beef in medium pho soup. It was not bad flavour but not sufficient....I will not be back. For the 10 dollars I can get all I want to eat at China Wall not far away from here.
Awesome food one of my favorite to eat
Been coming to the restaurant for a while now. Amazing food, Great staff, and best prices. Best pho I have had.
Great Pho!!
I love Vietnamese and Thai dishes. I’ve known about this place for quite some time but got the chance to go a couple of times only recently. (Note: they are closed on Mondays.) The first meal I had was shrimp Pad Thai. It was a big portion, filling and well-seasoned. Lunch on another day was a large House Specialty Pho, with beef balls, tendon and flank. It was, again, a generous serving. Pho is not pho without the sprouts and basil leaves and, of course, a touch of hot sauce. Lime juice gives it also a refreshing taste. This is a friendly family-run business. Plus prices are reasonable. The place itself is looking old and outdated but it’s clean and there’s lots of natural light coming in. It’s in a very small strip plaza but parking is not a problem.
Honestly this is the BEST Thai food I have ever found. It's a family run business and they are all very hard working and caring of their customers. I have watched the family grow for the past 4 years. The food is AMAZING and prices are too low. I highly recommend the lettuce wraps as they are delicious. Pork is my favorite. Everything you order is super fresh. I drive from Hamilton for those wraps. LoL
This Place is the best!! The food is always great never had a problem, the prices are extremely reasonable especially the Pho, probably some of the best viet food ive had ever, highly recommend this local Family owned and run restaurant, the owners are extremely hard working honest people and is reflected in the quality of the food i highly recommend!
Found a fly in my soup. restaurant looked really dirty overall and there was a baby’s play pen in the restaurant dining area ........ very odd and wonder if this place has been health inspected
I eat here easily 3 times a week, like home environment, great service and even better food. Highly recommend trying if you haven’t before
Love it, I'll pop over just for tea and fresh rolls! Edited: Still the best fresh rolls in town. Owners are awesome and give a real personal touch to every visit. Highly recommend.
I've only ever had pho here, best pho in town. Small, family run, always excellent service.
I had the salmon which was delicious and came on a bed of Asian greens and mushrooms. My friend had the burger and it was even better than my salmon. Our waitress was kind, attentive and tolerant of our boisterous group.I got what seemed to be talked about the most, the cauliflower soup and a burger.
Best soup I have ever eaten
Excellent customer service. Good portions. Meals came out quickly. Cozy seating area.
Best food around !! I love that it is a family run business unlike other establishments.
It's was the worse restaurant I've ever been to. There were flies buzzing around. There were 8 of us, the server gave us 5 plates, then we have to ask for every single addition of items. There was a hair in one of our orders, we pointed it out but the owner came and argue with us, when I found the second hair in another dish, I just pushed my food on the side. The Pad Thai chicken and Pad Thai seafood was socked in sauce. I really don't know how the online rating could be so high before
Amazing food with an amazing family friendly atmosphere and family who owns it.
dont see why this restaurant got a rate of 4.4. It’s dark ,dirty and empty
Good service. Good portions.
Great food!!! Best pho I've had. Plus awesome customer service. They are so friendly, I feel like I'm eating at a friend's house.
I always go for the grilled chicken pho soup, chicken pad tai and spring rolls. The soup broth is not bad, noodles don’t taste cooked enough. Taste just isn’t authentic!! I wait almost 20-30 minutes each time. Atmosphere is is not very clean, take family owned to the next level. There’s a playpen in front of the desk and EVERY single time I’m there there’s a baby (maybe 1 1/2 years) in it. Probably in there al the time. I was waiting again for my order and saw the kitchen lady cutting vegetables on their freezer! When I paid with my debit a worker stood behind me watching me pay. Seriously?!
Absolute best location for Vietnamese and Thai cuisine in Brantford and surrounding location. Service and good is top quality.
Its a very cute moms and pops restaurant that serves authentic pho and Thai style stir fries. My fiance ordered their beef pho soup and it was amazing, I was recommended their popular sizzler dish and it was nothing short of disappointment. The sizzler plate came out in a cute pig and was very unique. If your ever in the Brantford area be sure to check this place out.
Always great service and food!!!!
Always fresh and tasty, family owned business, I love this place.
The Pho here is fantastic. Has a depth and flavour complexity. Their fresh Shrimp Rolls are also great. If you’re going for flavour and not decor then this is a place you should visit.
Amazing food always best in brantford
I'd give this place a 6/10. The flavours were not too bad. Having said that the dishes were watery way more then I would like or expect them to be. My experience eating Thai food varies from Toronto to Brampton and other parts of Ontario. The Pad Thai was less flavourful then I'm use to, it lack lime but had peanuts chopped up. Out of all my experiences with pad Thai this was on the lower end of enjoyment. The fresh spring rolls didn't have any carrot * which is the norm for any Thai place that I can find that makes them * the peanut sauce was ok, and slightly overpowering. Wasn't a variety of veggies in them mostly lettuce a little red pepper and something else white and bean like that I'm not sure what it is. I'm use to shaved or thin pieces of carrot/cucumber/red pepper lettuce and those white looking beans I believe. With sweet and sour spicy sauce or peanut sauce. This place said they'd be a bit longer and promised the food would be hot and it was so I give them that.
Amazing food! I LOVE COMING HERE! *****GET THE COCONUT MILKSHAKE!!!!! **** delicious ****
Fantastic! Great service amazing food nice family friendly atmosphere. And amazing food!
Great food and great service. I always brings friends to share the experience.
Very good thai food. Might be one of the best in town. Little pricey for what you get but satisfying food. I recommend anything with seafood.
One of my favourite restaurants to visit ! Staff is extremely friendly.
My friend and I stopped at the Viet Thai Basil for dinner on our way through Brantford. He had eaten lunch there before, but neither of us had dined from the dinner menu.

This is a cheap and cheerful, no frills kind of place with good food in excellent portions.
Veggie spring rolls were ok. Service was ok, I had a slight issue with something in my dish that wasn't addressed properly.
The fresh rolls are amazing and portions are very fair. I find the soup a little thin though like it’s not the real stewed bone broth. The stir fried noodle dishes are good but not great. Everything tastes good. Definitely eating this food again when I can’t get to my fave place (in Hamilton).
Friend and I picked this place because it was stumbling distance from our airbnb and we were exhausted from traveling. We couldn't have picked better. The restaurant has a great style and the service was incredibly friendly. Our food was delicious, great flavours without being drowned in sauce. It was so good we ordered take out to have as a second dinner.
Homemade great tasting soup, the pho was so yummy. Springrolls were good too.
It was very kind. The soup was soft and delicious
Such a great place and food is awsome
Clean, tasty food, good portions, good prices
BAD REVIEWS ARE NONSENSE. Just to clarify to anyone who thinks that there was hair in their food this is not true. The staff use Lemongrass in their cooking and marinating which looks like small hairs but is not, same goes for Bok Choy or Celery. I have been eating here with my family for 10 years and never had a problem. Staff wear hair nets and are very clean. Family run and friendly, the best place in town for Vietnamese food.
So so so good!! If you havent been here you are truly missing out. Authentic dishes at a fantastic price. I'm here at least once a week. The bare naked ladies (band) eat here when they were in town and did a shout out to come at the concert.
Very nice family run restaurant. Always fresh and one of the best Thai restaurant s in Brantford.
Family run establishment, the owners are very nice and super friendly service. The dishes will come as they are ready which is typical of Asian cuisines.
Wonderful place, Pho is awesome, great service.
The food is delicious but the staff is very unfriendly and unsanitary. They never greet me whenever I come in. When they were pouring water on my glass, they overflowed it and spilled it on my table. The guy did not bother cleaning it. At another time, I saw that same guy picking his nose with one of the napkins he's using to wrap the forks and knives. He uses the same napkin to wrap the fork and knife. He comes to my table and asks for my order without washing my hands.
