Thai Basil

"Thai Basil - The food is excellent and the whole place is decorated beautifully. About six months ago, I noticed a little area of used boxes was starting to collect directly in front of their back wall under some impressive wall art. Two nights ago, I saw that it had mutated into a mountain of empty boxes resting on bags of rice! After complimenting the woman serving us our dinner on the quality of the food and the beauty of the décor, I asked her why the boxes were there in plain view of all the customers. She said they were used for take-out. When the small number of boxes were ostensibly over-looked by customers, the owner (possibly unconsciously) decided that the main focal wall of his restaurant was the perfect place for all the boxes that were shipped to the restaurant. He stopped seeing them as messy and they were now in a convenient place and a great way to recycle. It was shocking to see as the wall of boxes was at least 4’ high, covering some of the lovely wall art. I'm writing this in the hope that the owner sees this and finds a better place for the boxes and bags of rice - and restores this area back to the beautiful focal point that it was designed to be. Once again - great food and service!"

"When you have a great go-to place to get Thai food it is always hard to try any place else. Thai Basil didn't disappoint, and I have another place to go when I am up here. The curry was made less spicy for us, but still a bit on the hot side for my wife. It was very delicious. The appetizer combo platter was a good mix of delicious treats. The peanut sauce was yummy as was the lemongrass chicken pad Thai. The best dish of the night was the pineapple fried rice, a house favorite. It is obvious why it is their favorite, and it is certainly a favorite of mine now. The raisins in it really were a nice touch."

"I came back yes indeed, is flavourful. Can't stop eating it yum. After 2 years. I came back for work and this was the first place I came to. Got the masaman Veggie curry this time. Yum First time 2021, So good the flavors of the food I got was delicious. Tropical Mango dish was very good."

"Delicious food and great service! Very clean and one of the most balanced menus I’ve encountered for a Thai restaurant. On my most recent visit we came with a large and multilingual group. Waiter was very patient in answering questions and getting the orders right. I have great respect for the cooks who churned out dish after dish - all excellent and very satisfying. If I lived in the neighborhood I would become a regular!"

"Although it is often busy we found a seat easily. Ordered appetizers, combination plate. I really enjoyed the egg rolls and shrimp wonton wraps. The spicy chili sauce was my favorite of the two. I recommend it. Spicy eggplant was quite good, didn't ask for a spice level, don't know if that's an option. Could be spicier but the dish was very good, we decided that it would have been better to just have eggplant with no added protein. Also got the house special, peanut sauce special. Did not like it, too simple, might be a good introduction to a lightly sauced Thai dish, so it depends what you're looking for."
