Sweet Basil Thai Bistro — Restaurant in Denton

Perfect! A Thai restaurant that is close enough for me to travel to on a regular basis.

There is plenty of parking because this is located at Denton Crossing outlet; that being said, there is also handicap parking available.

Our waitress sat us down immediately at our table upon entering the restaurant. She provided great service at our table, taking great care to make sure that our orders were right.

We ordered the Thai tea, and our waitress made sure that we had water to go along with our tea. She also checked up on us regularly throughout the meal.

The rice was cooked just the way we like it.

The appetizer we had was the chicken satay, which is chicken on a skewer with a peanut sauce to dip the chicken into. The chicken was thinly sliced and had an orange/red tint to it.

My wife had the house cashew chicken. She gave me a bite of her house cashew chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. She ordered it with medium heat.

I had the red curry with beef, and it came out in a good-sized bowl, which means it was a good-sized portion.

The atmosphere was wonderful, it is a small area and quaint. It is not overly decorated like some restaurants are.

The restaurant was very clean and tidy.

The restrooms were clean. These owners show to take pride in everything they do within this restaurant.

I can see us frequenting this awesome restaurant a lot...

Sweet Basil Thai Bistro is a solid choice if you're looking for authentic Thai food in Denton. The restaurant was clean, and the staff—who appeared to be Thai women—were friendly and attentive, which added to the authenticity of the experience.

We ordered the seafood sauce, beef and broccoli, oyster beef, and a thai drink. The food tasted fresh, and when we asked for extreme spice, they delivered. It was really spicy (in a good way) and still flavorful. It helped clear up the sinuses for sure.

Portion sizes were okay, but I didn’t leave completely full—there could’ve been a bit more meat in the dishes. That said, the overall quality made up for it. Prices were reasonable for fresh, sit-down food—about $70–$100 total depending on tip—which isn't too much more than fast food these days.

Service was quick, and we were never ignored. Based on that alone, I’d come back. If you’re looking for a clean place with fast service and real Thai flavors, Sweet Basil is worth...

So, I read a lot of the reviews and was kind of up in the air about going here, but then I saw that they had several gluten free options. I love Thai food! I have Thai family, and my husband and I just came back from Hawaii where we ate a ton of Thai food. We ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken, the Pad Thai, Panang Curry, the Heavenly Beef, the Satai Chicken, and Thom Kha soup with Chicken. I can honestly say I was not disappointed in any of the food! It was all fabulous! I ordered everything at a heat level 2 (medium) which is plenty hot for me. Even my husband said that was a good heat level if you are trying not to burn your mouth. Unless you just like it super hot. We shared everything, and took a lot home. The portions were really good too! Lovely little restaurant, nothing too over the top. Casual dinning or to go. We ordered some food for our kids to take home as well. I was so excited to be able to have another place to eat in Denton when...
