Thai Basil Restaurant

The veg rice paper rolls were very bland on its own but we ordered the satay sauce and some chili oil on the side which were amazing. They were able to the yellow curry with more vegetables instead of potatoes which was nice of them and the curry tasted really good, with lots of veggies and big portion. The basil fried rice with tofu was pretty good, bit light on flavor though. Overall, pretty decent food, portions and prices.

Friendly service & good thai food

Quiet little place to get great Thai food. The lunch specials are great.

We decided on Thai Basil based on other reviews being mainly positive and we were not disappointed! The Kee Mao was very good and the chicken in garlic sauce was very flavorful and tasted so fresh! You get a spring roll and rice with the lunch portion and the spring roll was super delicious as well! The green tea was also delicious!

Their pad thai and curry is SO soo good and prices are very fair for the portions. I've tried a few other pad thais in town and always felt let down by how sickly sweet they were- not here. Lots of flavor and perfect balance of sweet and savory.

We stopped for dinner at Thai Basil in Visalia and had a mixed experience. The Tom Yum soup was flavorful, though it had a bit too many mushrooms for my liking. As for the Pad Kee Mao (Drunken noodles) with chicken, it fell short of expectations. While it wasn’t bad, it lacked the depth of flavor we were hoping for. Overall, it was an average meal, and we might try something different if we return.

(We overspent and ordered way too much because we missed Thai food) This place was highly recommended and you can tell from the flavors, the staff speed, and portion sizes. They take a break and close between lunch and dinner- we arrived as soon as they opened. The place filled up quick.

Everything is share sizes/family style so don't expect to be able to order small rice order. Even the Tom Yum Soup was too much for me to finish in one sitting- I took half home which made the flavors better.

The Spring Rolls come with a vinegar based sauce, I believe. I usually go for a peanut dipping sauce but this was good too.

We splurged and got the Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango. Largest portion I've been served my whole life. The cream and rice was warm too. Amazing.

Last thing, sodas are by can, No free refills. Which I'm usually a thirsty diner, so I defaulted to water.

Will definitely eat here again. Best flavor odlf Thai food I had in a while.

The best Thai food I've ever eaten! I was in Thailand and the Pad Thai I ate was as perfect as the one from Bangkok. Very nice service, I recommend it 100% to everyone!

Ps. I have never drank Thai iced tea as good as there! Well, simply delicious!❤️❤️❤️❤️
