The love and support you’ve shown us over these past few months has lifted us more than you know. Thank you, truly. 💛

While we don’t yet have news about reopening in Victor, we do have something hopeful to share: you can still enjoy Chef Jay’s cooking at Seoul Sisters Pocha. We’ve been given a rare chance to bring a familiar menu to their kitchen, and even though it means adjusting to not being our own bosses for now, we’re deeply grateful to continue sharing our Southeast Asian and Cambodian flavors with you.

Starting today jf you’d like to visit and enjoy what we’re creating, you can find us at:

3159 S Winton Rd, Rochester, NY 14623
Or call +1 585-471-8517

We can’t wait to see you again. 🌿✨

With a heavy heart, we share some difficult news.
After five wonderful years, we have made the hard decision to close our doors. This business has been such a big part of our lives — filled with laughter, friendships, and countless memories we’ll always hold dear.

Recent health challenges and the loss of loved ones have reminded us to slow down and focus on what truly matters most — our family, our health, and time with those we love.

We are endlessly grateful for every person who has supported us, shared a meal with us, and made this journey so meaningful. Thank you for being part of our story — you have truly touched our hearts. 💛

Though our doors will be closing, our inbox will remain open. Please don’t hesitate to reach out — we’d love to stay connected and hear from you.

🇰🇭 History, flavor, and a little sass—Somlor Machu has it all.

One of Cambodia’s national treasures, Somlor Machu is a tangy, comforting soup that’s been passed down for generations. Sweet, sour, and savory all at once—it’s basically Cambodia’s way of saying, “Why settle for one flavor when you can have them all?”

Whether you’re after comfort, tradition, or just something to make your taste buds dance, this soup has you covered. Come grab a bowl and taste history with a smile!

✨ Almost Five Years Strong – Meet the Chhunwicks Again! ✨

As we approach five amazing years of serving our community, we wanted to take a moment to reintroduce ourselves. We are Jay, Clarissa, Everly, and Maeve Chhunwick—the family behind Sweet Basil.

For us, food isn’t just about flavor—it’s about connection. We’ve loved every opportunity to share authentic, traditional dishes with you, and even more, we’ve cherished the conversations, laughter, and memories created around our tables.

When we’re not in the restaurant, you’ll find us supporting local businesses, hosting backyard BBQs, sharing meals with friends and family, and soaking up time with the people we love most.

We’re so grateful for your support these past five years and can’t wait to welcome familiar faces and meet new ones. Here’s to many more delicious memories together! 🥢💚

We had planned on selling yesterday, but due to some unexpected technical difficulties, that didn’t happen—turns out, it was a blessing in disguise!

Instead of focusing on sales, we got the chance to really connect—handing out free samples, sharing who we are and what Sweet Basil Asian Cuisine is all about, meeting new faces, and catching up with old friends.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared a laugh, and made the day so meaningful. Your support fills our hearts (and our kitchen!) with gratitude.
