Creative rolls, sake drinks & a variety of Asian entrees are presented in cheerful surroundings.
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
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
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.
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!
Always incredible!
The Menu is amazing. Pictures of dish to help.
Service is 5Star top notch.
Love this place! Our whole family loves this restaurant.
Both dinner and lunch plus alway take some to go!!!
We are locals. Generations of local😉

AMAZING STAFF AND FOOD.
Food was immaculate, the best service I’ve had in years.
Absolutely love this place. Super yummy food! Jessica is the only waitress we've ever gotten and she's amazing every time.
We had the best time tonite...super great service ..food amazing! Have the firecracker roll and white mountain roll, the curry is amazing...udon...and yum yum rice....all outstanding!
Got there and they told me it be couple of minutes. I waited and they just ran around, they said they had to clean but why dose it take two ppl to clean? Been in a truck all day driving,So I left.
Great food if your a sushi lover
Just absolutely amazing !!! The food is beyond amazing. Never had to complain here. Always a great atmosphere
The salt and pepper calamari and Mongolian beef are delicious
The best of what is available here
The food was very good and I enjoyed it, but their prices on the menu is not what you will actually be charged.

Always our go-to for sushi and Asian dishes. Never disappoints.
Sushi and was excellent appetizer was very good very nice place been there before 10 years ago same food Great atmosphere only thing I have to say is there wasabi was very weak and very expensive what's in the photo cost over $60 without tip not in picture was the house sake
My sushi meal was fantastic. Great people and very attentive. I will definitely go back next time in Williston. Highly recommend Basil.
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.
Mongolian beef with fried rice is $31 now. Gotta change up my spots now 💀
This is one of my favorite guilty pleasures! The food is always great tasting, even with takeout. Eating in, has a quieter relaxed atmosphere.
Great seafood and sushi!
Pretty good food 👌 service was great only downside was the 18% automatic gratuity added to the bill. Honestly would have tipped 25% .
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.
You must try the eel here, it's incredible.
Excellent!
Great sushi here.
This place always delivers. Food is well prepared and delicious. The wait-staff is friendly and fast. Definitely one of Williston's better restaurants.
Fantastic place incredible staff that always take excellent care of me and my family everytimr
The atmosphere is quiet and laid back, Ervin our server had our Spicy Green Curry and Firecracker in front of us within a few minutes. Im excited to come back.
Always great food and fast with kind and lots of helpful waitors/waitresses.
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.
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.
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!
Food was amazing will be ordering here again soon.
I enjoy big city restaurants, I would definitely put Basil on my big city restaurant list. Love the food
Great foods, nice staff.
Enjoyable lunch.
Wow, what amazing food. From the appetizers to the dessert, everything was delicious and amazing. The atmosphere was above the bar. Place was spotlessly clean, and the staff were informative and very helpful. Don't miss this place when your in town.
Chicken tasted grainy ask for spicy and got no spice. bland curry weird chicken
Went with a large family group and it was a great experience! Service was very friendly and fast. The food was delicious and flavorful. Even my kids cleared their plates and wanted more!
Inedible. 75 dollars for a glass of Thai tea boba and some pineapple chunks from our curry. Never again.
ALWAYS DELISHOUS!!!!
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 🥺
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.
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.
Wonderful 1st time experience!!!
Had Chicken/Shrimp Curry Noodles and Crab Rangoons!!!🤤🤤🤤
Excellent Asian food. Large portions make up for the elevated costs. Each dish has a distinctive flavor.
The food is always delicious..
Service was not the best. Sushi & egg rolls were subpar & overpriced.. I am a sushi snob & this did not satisfy my sushi craving..
Always a good place to eat, food was good. They gave my wife the wrong dish, and in five minutes, she was eating.
This place is everything and the fried vegetables are to die for 🥰🥰 thank y’all so much
Texas girl 😍
Great food and fair prices.
Always great food, great service. Have gone here several times and it never disappoints.
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.
The food was fine, but pricey. Fountain drink @ 3.75.
Not as good as I remembered. Ambiance was dim and lackluster. Food was ok. No complaints but I've had better from this establishment.
Great sushi
Every aspect of every experience I've had at this establishment has been pure perfection.
Very tasty high level definitely recommend if in the area
The food is amazing and delicious. Wonderful place to enjoy an evening out. Will definitely be coming back and bringing the parents!
Best place in town.
Love this place, food is always good everytime.
Update- foods good but Jesus the prices have raised like 30-40% in the last 3 years. Thanks to the Democrat idiots.
Super delicious! They have Pho Soup even though they are Japanese restaurant. Pretty good taste. Sushi is amazing!
Delicious food, great service, definitely on the spendy side but a fantastic treat.
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!
We love Basil !
We always order the sesame chicken and Mongolian beef plate and they are always good!
Spot on
Always enjoy this place
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.
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.
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.
The have delicious food.
Always great quality and fresh no matter if it’s dine in or take out.
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.
Better food than Sakura but terrible service.
Basil is a place to go when you have out of town guests. The food is great and service excellent!
Good but expensive for what you get.
Best mongolian beef ever. Sometimes a little spicy. I hear tge sushi is one of the best, but I don't eat sushi. Very friendly staff.
Waiters were rude and food was disgusting.
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 🤤
Very rude customer service
Always stellar service! This particular visit did not disappoint! Thank you!
Loved the Yum Yum Fried Rice
Absolutely amazing every time we go haven't had anything I didn't like!
Love Basils good staff normal quick service. Food amazing (white mountain sushi roll is my favorite but love the combo fried rice large portion) overall amazing place great for date night!!!
Delicious food and wonderful staff. Perfect for a casual lunch or a nice dinner. Been here many times.
Average food. Way overpriced for a fried rice and one sushi roll
Great service! They know what we are going to order before we do. Lol!
Never disappoints other then they keep it dark enough in there that you won't notice her Adam's apple till its too late
Just ok, had a hard time getting what I wanted to substitute on my meal
Nice late
Best food ever! Great atmosphere and servers are awesome.
Great food!
I have never been treated so rudely and been served for $15 for pieces of a little junk I asked him four times for hot mustard and
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!
Pretty good for a small place in ND.
Prices are steep, Pho bowl was extra heavy on the onion with minimal ingredients. Otherwise would do it again.
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.
Poor service. Good food .
Leaving review since there’s 666 reviews currently will update if bad lol
The food was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was nice. There was enough space between tables and it was comfortable.
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.
Hands down best sushi in the state.
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! 🌟
Worst service ever food is garbage...never, ever again
Food was expertly prepared and excellent! Top notch sushi.
rude staff unprofessional service attitude
Best restaurant in Williston! Amazing staff and always a great meal!
Worth every dollar. Meals can get kind of spendy, but I didn't regret any of it. Amazing food.
