Reviews for Pho Chicago & Cajun in Naperville, IL
We have been to Green Basil several times now & always very pleased! Their food is so fresh & the combination of flavors is... superb. We always leave with food to enjoy again at home since we order the soup &/or appetizer before our entre. I hope GreenBasil remains open in Naperville, as we?ll definitely go there more often!

We have always been a fan of the Pho. I tried the crispy tofu with broccoli. It was very good, lots of veggies. I wanted to take... home a ban mi but sadly they don't make them any more. Also they don't serve alcohol. The server was very polite. Like allrestaurants today they seemed to be suffering a bit from the from covid . There were few people there and only one table set upfor outside. All thins said, we had a delicious dinner . Read more
My sorority sister and I love Pho. After we finished volunteering, for an organization in Aurora, we were hungry. I Googled for... a place near us to get Pho and the Green Basil Restaurant came up in the list. We visited their website and the pictures of thefood were enticing. In addition to that, we took notice that reviews gave 5 stars. That made us want to go. From the moment wewalked into the restaurant, my sister and I knew this restaurant was special. It is quaint with a charming atmosphere. Thehost/waiter Patrick was awesome! He gave us excellent customer service. The restaurant also had my sister and I at the glass ofwater they serve. They have a unique recipe of refreshing water, that we called spa water. It was so refreshing to drink thatit was all that we both wanted to drink. The FOOD WAS SO DELICIOUS! My Soror and I are complete Foodies. We sincerelyappreciate great quality food and everything we ate at Green Basil did not disappoint. We both had a an appetizer order of theChicken Wings and a bowl of Pho Gá with a side of Meatballs. I have eaten Pho at many restaurants around the country. The Phoat Green Basil was very delicious with a surprise element of a half boiled egg added....yum! Adding to the surprise was ChefNick came out to meet and speak to my sister and I. We plan to definitely go back to Green Basil when in the area again. Read more
I've gotten a lot of food to go during covid from Green Basil. They are very courteous (they hand sanitizer before picking up... the receipt and handing it over). Their food is DELICIOUS! I'm a drive 1.5 hours during the weekend to get pho at Tank Noodlein Uptown, but this place makes that unnecessary. Adapted really well to covid to go methods. Always a pleasure to order,interact and eat from them :) Keep it up!! Thank you! Read more
Best Vietnamese in Naperville without a doubt! So excited to have finally tried Green Basil as I've heard that they're good, and... they blown my expectations! The pho's broth is so good, beautiful flavors, not artificial but has deep character. The meat inthe pho or vermicelli plate are delicious! Especially the grilled pork! The fried rice. 5/5! Lots of ingredients inside whichmakes it stand out, with sweet BBQ pork, fried egg stripes, and delicious giant shrimps. Mix them up and you get golden yummygoodness per mouthful! Read more
- Pictured is the 301 bowl. - Great ambiance. Was nice and quiet on the Saturday I visited. It was rainy that day. - Meatballs... are a little on the tougher side. - Broth is good but a little too fatty. However still savory. - Very generous with themeats. - Noodles are good but not as spongy as others. - Worth it if you?re in the Naperville area. - There is parking rightalong the restaurant but there is public parking about a block away.

I was surprised to find this place in downtown Naperville tucked on the corner on Jefferson with ample parking. The pho was... average but I was disappointed in the yellow curry. They have a bar and also serve smoothies and bubble tea. It's an averageplace with average food and I may go back to try their sandwiches. If you are in the mood for Vietnamese food and live close byand or in the neighborhood? Sure give them a try but I won't drive here for 20 minutes as a destination restaurant. There weretwo servers who were both very attentive and they get plus points for location and parking. Read more
First time eating out in a long time. Went on a lunch date with hubby. I ordered Pho Tai. It was so good! I never finish my pho... because it becomes overly salty and too one-note after awhile, but not this pho. I finished mine and felt sooo full and contentthe rest of the day. Also ordered milk tea, which was yummy. Wish there wasn't a tapioca shortage, but that's really the onlycomplaint I have... Read more
