I went for lunch and tried three different meals at this place. For the price and portion size of each meal it's not to bad for the price.
The lunch meals come with a bowl of Tom Kha Kai and it very good and worth the money for the lunch or as a meal just in the soup. Their version has a nice coconut milk broth with a light spice and cilantro to make a great flavor, with the mushrooms and Chicken added to it makes it great treat for any meal.
One of the lunch meals was a pad Thai an it wasn't the best I've had but decent and a good meal for the price.
Second meal I've tried is the spicy basil leaf, it's good and taste sweet with a light bit of spice. The red and green peppers that come with it are cooked lighting but still have a good lightly crispy texture to them pair well with the chicken,basil, an onions that are cooked with them. It also come with freshly cooked white rice or you can sub fried rice for $1.50 more
The third dish I tried was a panang curry an it's the meal that I enjoyed the most. It's very well made with the curry milk sauce, chicken, and veggies they add to the dish. The spicy is there but it's not a smack you in the mouth spice but a nict back burner spice that creeps in as you eat. It also comes with rice with but can sub it to for the extra if you want.
The front staff is pretty nice and the place is usually busy every time I've gone. There's a sushi bar there so they do serve fresh rolls and I've seen what they make it an it's looks pretty good but haven't tried it yet.
All in all of your going for lunch or dinner it will be a good place for a date night or a family outing for...
Read moreMy husband and I have visited Thai Basil so many times that we lost count. The food is usually very good. However, the last few times, the food and the service were subpar.
Sometimes, you walk in and aren't acknowledged. The last time I went, the young kid acted as if we were bothering him, and he went through so much trouble to seat us. We were seated, and then he walked away. We waited a while, and no one brought us water, and we sat for almost 15 mins. Instead, the staff were sitting at the main table preparing the basil and laughing and talking. It was 4 pm, so they were just opening for dinner, so there was no reason why they shouldn't have been prepared.
The person who I assume is the owner noticed we were just sitting there and asked if we were ready. We ordered as she didn't write anything down - which is fine if you are able to do that. The food came out, and the spicy tofu soup was not very hot. And the sushi wasn't fresh either, and for the price, that's unacceptable. Unfortunately, she forgot one of the items we ordered. When we brought it up, she apologized, but it wasn't sincere at all. We felt like we were treated like an afterthought from the moment we walked in. And the same thing happened to patrons who were seated next to us. They were barely acknowledged when they arrived and were then seated and not attended to for a while.
Sadly, we won't be going back...
Read moreI've been here several times and I never took the time to write a review. I love the ambience, it is nice and soft and calming. They always have great music on the background. THE layout of the dining room is very nice an organized and clean. The food is delicious. I had the massapang Curry with the coconut soup. The coconut soup is beautifully seasoned Savory and creamy with fresh cilantro and chives as a crunch absolutely delicious. Don't get intimidated by the coconut milk soup the coconut is nice and subtle so try it even if you don't like coconut I promise you will like the soup. great introduction to the meal. The masaman curry it's a perfect combination of spices for the fall and this one beautifully balanced. I am really picky with this particular curry and I have to say that this did not disappoint me. I have to say even if they didn't mix the Curry fresh and even if they use a paste they cooked it so well and balance that I can't tell if you so mad or not. The Curry is bold I can taste all the different spices like cinnamon and others and it is full of creamy nutty flavor. It has a very strong yet deliciously balanced peanut flavor. Its so creamy and nutty super delicious I completely and utterly think it's a deal for less than $8 you can have an amazing meal. My...
