Sweet Basil Vietnamese Noodle House: Pho, Banh Mi & Bao in Beaumont

A very quaint inviting little restaurant. We were greeted upon arrival and seated immediately.

The Hostess was very nice.

Seating consists of tables and chairs or booths. This restaurant was very clean.

We got the Pho Rib-Eye soup w/noodles and side plates of steamed vegetables. The soup was full of flavor. I just didn't care for the ginger in it. This is my first time trying Vietnamese food.

We also got "The Famous Rolls Chả Giò". They were so good!!!! We did not try the fish sauce, but did dip them into soy sauce and they were delicious!

I look forward to dining here again and trying a different dish😊

Our first time trying out SB in Beaumont. The food and service were wonderful!

My boys loved the noodles, fried rice with ribeye meatand the Hot fries appetizer!! Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped us decide what to order based on our likes.

The only thing that I didn't like was the sticky floors. Kinda nitpicking... But every person that walked by you could hear. 😅

Over all a great experience and we will definitely be back!!

The marinated pork sandwich is my go to order here. My wife ordered the pho🍜 , and both dishes were delicious. Friendly staff and a great place for lunch or dinner.

The honey walnut FOB shrimp is my favorite dish! It was perfect during this visit. The koko wings were also delicious, as always. The bread for the marinated ribeye bahn mi was crunchy but soft on the inside. Overall, this was a great lunch time visit and we were taken care of immediately.

The BEST fried rice I've eaten! Would highly recommend the marinated rib eye. My husband and I will definitely return.

I took my 4 kids here after we did a bit of shopping. We all loved everything. It is a bit pricey, but it is so worth it. Their presentation is beautiful. The service was great. The waiter didn't even write anything down. (He used his notepad in his brain)

I am going to take my hubby to try soon. I won't be bringing my kids back. [Not because of anything the restaurant did. They are too young to truly appreciate the high-end food here is all]

This place is amazing! I tried the marinated chicken with the Hot Mess sauce and it was very good. The fresh beignet balls was excellent too. Definitely one of my favorite spots!

Finally tried Sweet Basil! The hot mess fries were so good, we loved the adjusting fries, the meat was fantastic. I got the Koko short ribs, best marinate, cooked to perfection with that char! I loved my dinner! My husband got the bahn mi, it was good, but for the price and taste more meat is needed on it. The main flavor you taste is the bread, which was good, but to much compared to the meat.

The restaurant was clean, the staff members were friendly and kind. Plenty of parking. Will return!

We were in Beaumont for a night and decided on this place for dinner. The map took us to Sweet Basil through some backstreets and for a moment we were concerned about where we were going. But then we emerged into a regular shopping center and we breathed again.

The place, it being a Thursday night, was pretty empty - only about 8 or 10 people in a place for about 50ish seats. We were also a bit early, about 7pm. The waiter hands us the menu, we take out time and then choose a plate of sweet bahn bao (those little fluffy breads filled with meats and veggies) with marinated pork and a plate of hot mess fries. They were both sooooo good. After we were done with the starters we ordered a sweet basil special fried rice to share. The plate was huge and, again, very flavorful.

By the time we finished, more people had started coming in. Later, we told some other local people about the place and they who said that this was one of their favorite restaurants in town.

Our check for the two of us, with tips, totaled just above $50.

If you’re in the mood for Vietnamese food that goes beyond the ordinary, Sweet Basil Vietnamese Noodle House delivers in style. Walking in, you’re greeted by a warm, clean space that feels polished but never pretentious — bright enough to see every detail, cozy enough for relaxed conversation. The décor shows thought, the booths and tables are comfortable, and there’s just enough background hum to feel lively without being overwhelming.

What truly impressed me was the menu’s range and execution. Every visit offers something new, whether you’re leaning toward a steaming noodle bowl or exploring one of their fusion items. Drinks and small plates complement the bigger bowls, and the hot mess fries — bold, playful, generous — are a treat for anyone wanting something fun. Meanwhile, the classic Vietnamese soups and noodle dishes have heart: rich broths, fresh ingredients, and a sense of tradition.

Service is consistently friendly. Staff greet you with genuine warmth, check in at good intervals, and make you feel seen. Even when they’re busy, there’s no feeling of being just another number. It’s the kind of service that makes you slow down and enjoy the whole experience.

Sweet Basil strikes a rare balance: great food, inviting atmosphere, and service that cares. Without hesitation, five stars from me — this is a place I’ll return to again and again.

Sweet Basil Vietnamese Noodle House serves more than just noodles. We went there for dinner and the items we ordered were of great quality. The fire roasted pepper sauce for the wings was truly unique and amazing. The dumplings were fresh and flavorful. My girlfriend said that the koko short ribs was one of the best she has ever tried. Just cooked to perfection. The claypot shrimp was another unique dish and quite delicious. The fresh beignet balls was the perfect way to finish up our dinner. The service here was excellent. Our server was attentive, diligent, and caring. He was extraordinary. The ambiance is nice with high ceilings and cool artwork. Would definitely recommend.

I cannot believe I only now discovered this place! As others have said, Sweet Basil defies the ordinary food offerings in Beaumont. The hot mess fries were crazy good as are their Bahn Mi sandwiches. The noodle bowls need just a bit more flavor, but all their meat is delicious. Enjoy this breath of fresh air in the Beaumont food scene.

Miss Anna was by far the best waitress I've met in Beaumont. Fast and attentive.

Food was prepared within 30 minutes of sitting down. Taste was out of this world good. The light char on the shrimp, lip smaking. It's hard for me to give a 5 star. But they truly deserve it.

The bathrooms are clean, smell amazing, in house was clean. As soon as a table left, they wiped, cleaned, and sanitized. Everything there was as a restaurant should be. Worth every dollar.

Go and check this place out, and if miss Anna is there, ask for her.

The food was amazing! This was my first time to try Vietnamese cuisine and I loved it. I don't even have any words to describe the bread in one of the dishes. It felt kind of like a sponge, but it was like eating air. The meat was delicious! I will definitely be back!

Pho meatballs were some of the best I've had in a few years. The bao pork belly was quite delicious. The service was great and they just started to serve crawfish and it looked awesome. Can't wait to come back and try.
