Basilic Vietnamese Grill

"This is technically across the street from the other two, but we promise it's worth a few extra steps. Basilic should be in everyone’s rotation of Miami Vietnamese options. They have a long menu full of dishes like spring rolls, bánh xèo, vermicelli bowls, and (the main event of the menu) about ten types of really good pho. Portion sizes here (even some of the appetizers) are huge enough to ensure you'll be finishing your dinner for the next several days. And with the way everything tastes, that is a very good thing." - mariana trabanino, virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
