Basil Leaf Thai Cuisine 5202 Simpson Ferry Road, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050

"When we arrived just before 6 on a Wednesday, the place was empty. As this was our first visit, this made me a little nervous. Not to worry, as the small dining room filled up over the course of our dinner, and several folks stopped in to pick up takeout. Our food was fantastic! My Massaman Curry was outstanding and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his Cashew Nuts with beef."

"Absolutely fantastic! I got the summer roll and the vegetable pad thai. I called an order to go while my daughter had karate! Everything is authentic and fresh. This is the best around! I have tried a few like chalits near by but I went the extra 2 miles and boy was it worth it! I didn't get any silverware for my take out though but I will ask for it next time! The food was done before I got there and the woman was very sweet and pleasant :)"

"Nice local restaurant with great food and friendly service. If you’re in the mood for Thai, support this small business, you won’t regret it. I’ll be back next time I’m in the area."

"Hidden gem is Mechanicsburg !!! We ordered spinach potstocker - was good. drunken noodles with chicken - the chicken was little hard but the noodles and taste was amazing. Our favourite of the day was Thai basil, we took two Jasmine rice bowls -- the chicken was shredded, it comes with capsicum, onion, broccoli -- delicious."

"This was a 5:30 pm dinner for two on a Saturday. It was our first time visiting Basil Leaf. It was moderately busy and service was friendly and prompt. My friend and I both had the Tom Yum Goong soup. It was okay but could have been more lemon grass flavor. The two shrimp in the soup were fresh and tasty. For the main course my friend ordered One of the Classics, Cashew nuts with beef. I opted for a Chef’s Special, Seafood Delight. It is a combo of seafood ( shrimp, scallops, squid) in a brown sauce and crispy, fresh vegetables with a side of white rice. The veggies were excellent and so were the 4 shrimp and 2 scallops. There was too much squid which was rubbery and not easy to chew. There was no choice of brown rice to replace the standard white. Brown rice would be a good choice to offer, as millions suffer from diabetes and white rice is not a good choice but brown rice is! Overall it was a nice dinner. I loved the designs on the walls and the cheerful front of this Thai Cafe/Restaurant Here are some pics and the Menu!"
