Basil Box

I had a BOGO free Plant based deals coupon for Basil Box so I picked out a couple of Coconut Curry Tofu boxes for my husband and I, and we sat down at the TABLES food court in The Amazing Brentwood to eat. You can customize your own bowls at Basil Box . I got to choose whether I wanted rice, brown rice, or noodles. Next I got to choose which veggies I wanted; then there was a choice of protein (we got tofu because that's what our coupon was for, but they are not an exclusively plant based shop so they do have meat options for meat eaters), then a choice of sauce, and last but not least there was a choice of toppings. They've got some really interesting options to choose from. Charred sweet potatoes, lemongrass corn, sweet chili lime sauce, and sriracha spiced pumpkin seeds are just a few of the unique choices they have to offer. I chose rice for one bowl, and noodles for our second bowl. Overall we were both quite impressed but both of us agreed that the noodle dish we had, with sweet chili lime sauce was better than the rice for which I'd chosen a tangy tamarind sauce. This is a great place to grab a quick, tasty and customizable meal! Service:  Good Parking:  Free parking nearby, on the ground level Location: 1920 Willingdown Ave., Burnaby

First time Basil Box at the Brentwood Mall location, I was fairly impressed! I totally dig the Massaman Sauce, not as spicy as advertised but delicious and a perfect compliment to the Coconut Curry Tofu. The food was tasty and enjoyable, I feel like it was a pretty stingy portion for the price and would have expected more protein. Although it's a small menu, it's focused on delivering good flavor and seasoning, detailing and fining the core concepts to make an overall yummy tasting meal.
