"The food tasted good but without lots of big plates choices. The Curry here is fluid added coconut milk. A warm little Thai restaurant."

"Disappointed is an understatement. I really wanted to love this place, but it was no good. The food was such a let down. I ordered the drunken noodles, but they didn't have the wide noodles, so they gave me Pad Thai noodles. I ordered it spicy and it was not spicy at all and barely had any sauce and absolutely no flavor. I also ordered my dish with chicken. The chicken was completely bland and unseasoned (chicken pictured below) overall not good. I also don't like that they don't have servers here, you have to order at the front counter. I understand every business does things differently but we didn't have anyone check on us to see if we were enjoying our food. And they asked us to tip. My girlfriend ordered the Pad Thai, it was overall more flavorful than my dish but nothing stood out. The only saving grace were the appetizers, the crab rangoons were really good. Also tha Thai tea was good as well. We were served warm water. Atmosphere was cold and drab. Not very inviting or comfortable. We will not be back."

"Easy to see why people rave about this place - I had the pork belly stirfry medium spice and it was a delight - great texture, flavors and spice level. Spring rolls were awesome - pork dumplings were great - but the drizzled sauce really made them pop!!!! Service was also really great - brought us a new ware caraf every time we emptied ours. Will try to visit again!!!"

"I remember this place as the Tower Inn Pizza, then Mary's Hamburgers, now Basil Babes. They did a great job transforming the place into a Thai restaurant. Check out the menu before you come in, so you can order right away if you're dining in. Orders are made ( and paid for) before you are seated. The water carafes on the tables let you know where you may seat yourself. The food came out quickly and tasted amazing. The spring rolls were fresh and tasty. The stir fried veggies with chicken was outstanding with the jasmine rice. My first time having Thai food was definitely a good one."

"My experience at this establishment was characterized by its efficient fast counter service, allowing customers to place their orders upfront and then enjoy a comfortable dine-in experience. The food was notably delicious and arrived promptly, reflecting the emphasis on quick service without compromising on taste. Following a round of drinks at the nearby Wurst Bar with friends, this place provided a perfect continuation of our evening. The cleanliness of the premises was noticeable and added to the overall positive impression. The ambiance exuded a calm and relaxing vibe, creating a welcoming atmosphere for a leisurely meal. Whether for a quick bite or a more leisurely dining experience, this spot offers a well-rounded package of good food, efficient service, and a serene environment."
