About Thai Basil

Thai Basil is a must-try Thai restaurant in the Monterey Bay Area. The vegan yellow curry is delicious and flavorful, and the Thai tea with coconut milk is a hit with customers. The service is excellent, even when they are busy with takeout orders. The dishes here are described as fresh, bursting with homemade flavors that go beyond the usual Thai food experience. The restaurant has a cozy ambiance, with outdoor seating available. The owners run the restaurant themselves, providing a friendly and fun service, giving secret food shop vibes. Many customers claim it is the best Thai food they have ever had, with dishes that taste like "Grandma's Secret Recipe" due to family recipes. The fresh rolls come with delicious peanut sauce, and the Rad Na gravy noodles made vegan with mock meat are a standout—the texture is super good, and the sauce is delicious. Fried spring rolls are also amazing, with just-right portion sizes. Thai Basil stands out among other Thai restaurants in the area, making it worth the drive to Capitola.

This place deserves more hype. The best Thai food I’ve had and only decent food in the village. Also reasonably priced!! Family owned and they work hard. We always do family style and order a bunch of things and it’s all good. Couldn’t recommend it more.

This is the best Thai place I have ever had. No place compares. The service is also great. Thank you so much, absolutely delicious!!!!

The panang tofu lunch special $11.95 was delicious as was the tofu spicy noodles. Spice level 4 is quite spicy. We like the outside seating.
