Basil | Sushi Bar and Asian Bistro

I think that the menu focused more on the hot foods is great. The salt and pepper calamari was great. Seasoned well, super crispy and not too greasy. The cabbage and peppers it sat on were quite tasty as well. The hot and sour soup had great flavor (although I got mine and it wasn't hot - as in to the touch). The sushi on the other hand... not so good. The fish seemed pretty fresh and the presentation was nice but it was grocery store quality at best. I ordered a rainbow roll and the inside only had imitation crab with mayo. Way too sweet and missing the cucumber and avocado. There was avocado on the outside and that was good. I was expecting much worse so I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't try anything else because there were a lot of rolls with cream cheese in them. I hate that. I do love the fact that this Asian restaurant exists and flourishes in such a small community in the middle of America. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I love the fact that people can try something a little different than what they're used to.

Hands down the best sushi in the area. and online ordering!! That would make it worthwhile even if the food was just ok, but most things I've tried have been on par with the best Chinese takeout.

I'm caught between like and love...chose love it 5 stars. The food, atmosphere, and some waiters/waitresses are great. I have been disappointed some time when I order dinner to go. I like it that you can now order online.

My family and I like coming here a lot. The food is always very fresh the staff is friendly and personable. Sometimes it does take a little bit of effort to get exactly what you wanted ordered as English as a second language for the majority of the staff which isn't really that big of a problem at all. The owner is awesome and I would definitely recommend giving this place a try.

First time visiting Basils and it was amazing. Huge portions, wonderful service, food is absolutely amazing. Yes, it's spendy, but we'll worth it. I honestly had difficulty deciding what to oreder, there were a few I wanted. I ordered two, Chicken lo mien and Mongolian Beef. It was great. May have been the best lo mien I've ever eaten! If you aren't a fan of super Spicey food I'd advise against the Mongolian beef, but I loved. Basils as a is quaint, and has a lovely atmosphere. I can imagine it being hard to get seated on busy nights, so arrive early! I'm looking forward to visiting them again. If you visit Williston,ND you have to visit this place!!
