Creative Vietnamese noodle house with strong vegan options and cocktails; generally tasty pho and wings, but portions and service consistency vary.
Our take
Holy Basil Phở And Cocktail Bar delivers competitive neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by clear, flavorful broths and creative modern Vietnamese bowls. Friendly, attentive service and appealing Rockridge setting support the experience, but inconsistent execution on broth richness and portions across visits prevents a higher grade. Premium pricing aligns with the area and creative menu, though it positions the restaurant as a specialty destination rather than a go-to pho standard.
One caveat: Occasional slow kitchen for pho despite friendly servers
