Sweet Basil Vietnamese Noodle House
About This Spot
Sweet Basil Vietnamese Noodle House welcomes you with a genuine warmth, tucked into a humble strip of Beaumont’s Dowlen Road. When you walk in, the space feels intentionally relaxed—well-lit and inviting without rushing the moment. It’s the kind of spot where the hum of conversation flows easily, yet there’s enough calm to savor each bite without distraction. The seating is comfortable and thoughtfully arranged, offering a quiet corner for solo diners or a cozy table for families and friends alike.
The steady, unhurried pace reflects the care woven through every detail, from the smiling introductions to the dishes that arrive framed by vivid colors and fresh herbs. Here, Vietnamese flavors find a balance that both honors tradition and welcomes gentle exploration. The menu offers familiar comforts like pho, but also surprising riffs like the Hot Mess Fries, which carry a playful yet nuanced blend of sweet and spicy that keeps you reaching for more. Vegan options, crispy duck, and marinated rib-eye sandwiches sit side by side, inviting every kind of appetite and curiosity.
Sweet Basil’s atmosphere is shaped as much by its thoughtful service as by the food itself. Servers navigate the room with a quiet attentiveness, attentive to families juggling little ones and diners seeking their own quiet moments. It’s a place where the rhythm feels just right—not hurried, yet never stagnant—allowing the meal to unfold naturally in good company or tranquil reflection.
Though nestled amidst other businesses, the restaurant manages to carve out a moment of respite in the bustle of everyday life. Plenty of parking and easy access make it a welcome stop whether you’re stepping in for a casual lunch or an unpretentious dinner. The care in presentation and ingredients echoes in the warm satisfaction diners walk away with, whether savoring fresh spring rolls or treating themselves to delicate beignet balls dusted in green tea powder.
More than just a destination for Vietnamese fare, Sweet Basil feels like a well-loved neighborhood refuge. It’s a place where the familiarity of classic flavors meets the inviting pause of a thoughtful, local experience—and where you might leave already thinking about your next visit.

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!

Went on a Tuesday for lunch & was sat immediately. Overall a great experience. Location: in a strip with other businesses. Shared lot with some businesses claiming a few of the front parking areas. Plenty of parking spaces though but watch for vehicles driving through the parking lot. Atmosphere: well lit, clean and inviting. Not loud and spaced well from others. They sat us well with a baby in a stroller- we didnt feel in the way. Food: good variety with pho, ramen, poke, rice. Noodles, bao buns, spring rolls and more. We got their fries, duck bao buns, poke bowl & seafood ramen. Everything arrived in good timing and fresh. The bao bun was good but would be great with a/more sauce. The ramen was flavorful but wish the eggs were marinated (just plain boiled egg). The fries were great- give me more! My sister liked her poke bowl. Price: a little pricey but the food was good & it seems like they care about what they are doing. Ramen was $18, bao buns $11, fries $11. For 1 person, you may pay $15+ for a meal (depends on what all you order). Service: friendly. The host was generous and our waiter was nice. No issues. Overall, a great refreshing restaurant. Would definitely recommend!

Food was delicious. The hot mess fries were a perfect blend of sweet and spicy. The sweet banh bao was a small serving but perfect for a light lunch. The pork was tender and flavorful. The restaurant is a little quiet but allows for a relaxed dining experience.

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]

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.

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.
