Sweet Basil,

1736 Solano Ave #2215, Berkeley, CA 94707, United States

"Hate leaving bad reviews, but we were really disappointed after dining here considering our bill and the food we got. First off, we were pretty rushed to order coming in when only one other table was occupied, so we didn’t have much time to actually look at the menu. The Golden tofu and Thai iced tea was alright, but the main dish I got was exceptionally flavorless, the green beans were extremely undercooked and squeaky when I bit into them, the chicken was bland and tough as well, both in my dish and my friend’s. Absolutely no spice in any of the food whatsoever as well. There are too many much better Thai places in Berkeley to eat here."

"I was very disappointed in our dinner here. The calamari was overcooked and the shrimp rolls were just shrimp wrapped in wonton skins and fried. The waitress never asked us how our dinner was or if we wanted anything else. The restaurant looks so nice but it was very noisey."

"I want to start off with sayin g what a kid friendly restaurant this is. They had paper and crayons for my daughter, her own plastic plate and silverware, a potty seat in the bathroom, hand soap for kids, and a sink she could actually reach! Not to mention the best kids menu I’ve ever seen. I got the steak salad and it was sweet and vinegary and just so fresh tasting. My husband got grilled pork with pineapple and it was fantastic. It’s a beautiful space with an ample outdoor dining area so my toddler could walk around. I highly recommend coming here."

"Put your Wonder bread down, old white folks! Sweet Basil brings you a taste of the Far East (as in Albany). Don’t worry, there’s no spice here whatsoever! No chillies allowed! Bring your pale whitest of British pallets here - they’ll love it too!"

"Delicious soup, salad, rice, egg roll, and main entree for their lunch special with plenty of vegetarian options. Everything was flavorful and the lychee iced tea was sweet enough to be dessert. Luckily they had an outdoor dining option as well!"
