Had the seseme chicken a little while ago and it’s was alright nothing to write home about let along spend 24 dollars on. So I tried the chicken pad Thai and it had maybe 3 pieces of chicken. Definitely not authentic at all. I think they might shine in the sushi. But the last 2 times I went just didn’t feel like it was worth it. If you need done really damn good authentic pad Thai go to Thai tasty. Tasted way to sugary with very little flavor

Diner Review №4

The food was wonderful. I have food allergies. The staff was so great in finding out which dishes contain my allergen.

Diner Review №5

Listen no one expects fantastic sushi in North Dakota. But this place checks all the boxes. No fishy taste and well crafted sushi. Service is top notch even on under staffed nights. Please go here and be pleasantly surprised

Amazing place to eat.

Diner Review №16

Hands down best sushi in North Dakota! For being so far away from the ocean I’m pleased! I trust this place so much that I’ve ate the raw sushi while pregnant (the craving was unbearable, I had to! Momma is fine, baby is fine! The lady giving me dirty looks survived, too!)

The wait staff is always friendly! The atmosphere is always welcoming! The sake is hot, the sushi fresh, the food delicious! I haven’t had a bad meal or experience in the year and a half that we’ve lived up here!

Hands down favorite place to eat in Williston!

Diner Review №17

Diner Review №19

This is my favorite place in town to eat. The food here is phenomenal and the customer service is top-notch. The staff is incredibly professional and attentive to your needs. The sushi rolls are eloquently prepared in presentation.

I don't live here but travel here a lot for work and I eat here every chance I can. You should too. 10/10

Diner Review №29

The salt and pepper calamari and Mongolian beef are delicious

Diner Review №30

The best of what is available here

Diner Review №31

The food was very good and I enjoyed it, but their prices on the menu is not what you will actually be charged.

The oysters were supposed to be $9.99, not $11.99. And the Seafood TomYum noodle soup went from $16.50 to $19.99.

Regardless of the price being cheap or expensive, you should always be charged for what was shown on the menu.

My sushi meal was fantastic. Great people and very attentive. I will definitely go back next time in Williston. Highly recommend Basil.

Diner Review №43

Went here for 1st time on recommendation of a friend as I am not a sushi eater. They have much more than sushi, much more. The food was served hot and was delicious. The service was excellent, was checked on by staff regularly. Wife and I both used restroom and they were very clean. I would recommend this place wholeheartedly.

Great seafood and sushi!

Diner Review №51

Pretty good food 👌 service was great only downside was the 18% automatic gratuity added to the bill. Honestly would have tipped 25% .

Diner Review №52

Diner Review №53

I’ve been eating at basil for about 2 years, maybe once or twice a month. I usually leave a $5 cash tip, sometimes a little more. But yesterday, after signing the debit card receipt, my waitress approached my table and said she noticed that I crossed off the tip section of the receipt and asked why I “Never” tip !! Even though I leave between $5 and $10 in cash for her everytime. I told her I don’t have much money to give her extra tip money & that I rarely eat there because it’s so expensive. She then blamed her manager for asking us about it and apologized. She also said they don’t pay the waitresses enough wages & she NEEDS the tips. I said, WELL I’M POOR and I can’t give you extra. Then she said sorry again & walked away, wouldn’t look at me as I was leaving. Lol. I’m not going to be eating at Basil anymore because of the high tip expectations.

Diner Review №54

You must try the eel here, it's incredible.

I was a little scared to get ND sushi, but this place hit it out of the park. Not too much rice, and a creative menu. Chefs behind the bar were professional and friendly.

Diner Review №70

The food was ok and the service was a little slow, but it was very busy so I don't fault them too much for that. The atmosphere though was great and the staff was extremely friendly.

Diner Review №71

I feel like this was turning into the watered down clam chowder story. Started out delicious. Then bacame mediocre and very expensive*

****UPDATE****
gave it a try a couple more times. The service has definitely gotten better and the food is delicious again. I feel like the owner or manager got more involved again? I raised my review two stars.

Diner Review №72

Was just in town for work and found it on a google search - one of the best places I’ve eaten in years. Holy moly was it good! And the people were so friendly. 10/10!

Very sad food was simple over cooked chicken hard carrots when it was brought to waitress attention she said yes we have different cook today not anything else very very disappointed as before I've had great service an food 🥺

Diner Review №97

This is always a 5 star place. I've been going here for years since I moved to Williston and have never had a bad meal or bad service. The fact that we have sushi this good in the middle of the plains is kind of insane. I love the tuna on fire or the fire on fire roll. The fried rice is the best too. All of their food is excellent though, you can't go wrong with anything.

Diner Review №98

Great experience. My husband enjoyed the sushi very much, and my chicken fried rice was very good. Server's were all polite and attentive. The atmosphere is very clean and elegant, and the beautiful Christian music over the speakers was very pleasant. 10/10 recommend, and we will be coming back to eat here next time we're in Williston. Thank you, Basil. God bless you.

Diner Review №99

Diner Review №114

First time trying this place. I was expecting it to be good. The sushi is mid…. Eel sauce on the sushis I ordered were very bitter and tasted very odd, not the normal eel sauce that’s sweet and flavorful. The sushi didn’t hold up well too. Service was good but it’s very expensive for okay food.

Delicious food, great service, definitely on the spendy side but a fantastic treat.

Diner Review №140

One of my favorite places to eat. It is a little pricey but worth it. I’ve tried multiple rolls and dishes and never been disappointed. I would dine in though as the take out seems to have smaller portions to me!

Diner Review №141

We love Basil !
We always order the sesame chicken and Mongolian beef plate and they are always good!

Diner Review №144

Always enjoy this place

Diner Review №145

Lightening fast service and amazing sushi. Pictured is the king kong roll (front) and firecracker roll in the back. The egg rolls and gyoza were also great.

Diner Review №146

Honestly always great food, wait staff seems a tad awkward on almost every visit. Not in a bad way, just very socially awkward like they're unsure how to interact with other people it does tend to throw the whole vibe off. Calamari is 🤌 always great flavor and quality.

Diner Review №149

So far, amongst the best sushi I've had... wasn't expecting that in ND! The service was great, the presentation was beautiful, and the rolls were served up fresh and fast! I think I'll be visiting here many times while I'm working around Williston.

Diner Review №150

I can’t tell you how many times we have eaten at Basil, or DoorDashed them. It’s been A LOT!!
Never had a bad experience. You go inside and they are on it, you door dash and know you will get the right order. Love Basil. Thank you for giving us a great restaurant in Williston.

Diner Review №155

Diner Review №156

The food was good but when a card gets left at this restaurant and only this restaurant... then Walmart gets hit up for $680 and some change. Reviews change! I previously left a 5 star review as the food is good, but we won't be frequenting this place again. With Shady people working and stealing card information no thanks. This establishment has forever lost my business. For the record, I got my money back but I'm not interested in this every time I eat.

Diner Review №157

Better food than Sakura but terrible service.

Diner Review №158

Basil is a place to go when you have out of town guests. The food is great and service excellent!

Diner Review №163

Diner Review №164

We first went to Basil Mothers Day of this year and we have since been back a bunch of times. The food is amazing and fast! We have tried a pretty big variety of menu items and have never been disappointed. I highly suggest everyone try the banana tempura dessert 🤤

Diner Review №182

Diner Review №183

Prices are high,but the food is oh so so delicious! Every single dish was packed with fresh flavour. The boba tea was exceptional too. I ordered online and had the food delivered and it arrived hot and fresh. The high prices may affect wether we order again in the future,but I'll say it's a must try at least once restaurant. The food experience is so worth it. Just superbly delicious!

Diner Review №184

Pretty good for a small place in ND.

Diner Review №185

Prices are steep, Pho bowl was extra heavy on the onion with minimal ingredients. Otherwise would do it again.

Diner Review №186

I love coming to Basil, some of the best Asian you can get in the Mon/Dak area. I asked for the lunch's Chief sushi special and it was great! I had great service and great food. Can't wait for my next trip to town for work so I can stop by and have another special.

Diner Review №187

Diner Review №191

Always a pleasant and delicious place to eat! My absolute favorite place to eat in Williston! Ask for specials and recommendations if you're wanting something new to try! Excellent staff.

Diner Review №192

Hands down best sushi in the state.

Diner Review №193

This place is a gem inside Williston. People who live here know how much this place is important for the community. The owner who had restaurants in California brought with him a tasty and rich menu with variety of dishes and options (close to 100) all with fresh ingredients that are constantly shipped in. The staff are professional and the prices compared to other same level restaurants are very reasonable. I visit this place everytime that I visit Williston. I give them 5 stars! Anyone who leaves less than 4 stars is just upset that they had to pay what is normal for such a culinary delight! Delicious food, professional service, always clean! 🌟

Diner Review №194

Worst service ever food is garbage...never, ever again

Diner Review №195

Worth every dollar. Meals can get kind of spendy, but I didn't regret any of it. Amazing food.
