Sweet Basil Thai — Restaurant in Berkeley

Hate leaving bad reviews, but we were really disappointed after dining here considering our bill and the food we got. First off, we were pretty rushed to order coming in when only one other table was occupied, so we didn’t have much time to actually look at the menu. The Golden tofu and Thai iced tea was alright, but the main dish I got was exceptionally flavorless, the green beans were extremely undercooked and squeaky when I bit into them, the chicken was bland and tough as well, both in my dish and my friend’s. Absolutely no spice in any of the food whatsoever as well. There are too many much better Thai places in Berkeley...

Recommended by friends who live a few blocks away. My first visit in many years. Thai iced tea and thom yum goong soup were excellent and ample Ordered chef's special kow soi nuer, braised beef in yellow coconut curry over rice? noodles. Beef and curry were excellent. Noodles were pasty goo even though curry sauce was served separately in a pitcher. I didn't eat the noodles. Server asked why I didn't finish the dish and I explained about the goopy noodles. I could have complained when I was first served but I am unfamiliar with this dish and assumed noodles were supposed to be gooey. I will go back but won't order...

I want to start off with sayin g what a kid friendly restaurant this is. They had paper and crayons for my daughter, her own plastic plate and silverware, a potty seat in the bathroom, hand soap for kids, and a sink she could actually reach! Not to mention the best kids menu I’ve ever seen. I got the steak salad and it was sweet and vinegary and just so fresh tasting. My husband got grilled pork with pineapple and it was fantastic. It’s a beautiful space with an ample outdoor dining area so my toddler could walk around. I highly recommend...
