We went to Green Basil Thai Restaurant & Bar for lunch with the team, and honestly, it was a pretty underwhelming experience. We ordered a variety of dishes—fried rice, pad thai, green curry, and some appetizers—hoping to get a good spread, but everything tasted very mediocre. No one at the table really had anything positive to say about the food. For a place that looks nice enough for a team lunch, the flavors just didn’t deliver.

Came here for lunch and ordered the Penang Curry, which is usually one of my favorite dishes. The lunch portion was priced fairly at about $15, but the execution was disappointing.
The curry didn’t resemble a proper Thai Penang. The gravy wasn’t creamy at all, with coconut milk basically missing. Instead, it tasted like mostly Penang curry paste thinned out with water, with barely any coconut cream to give it body. The result was a very watery, over-seasoned dish that leaned more toward an Indian-style curry than Thai Penang.
While the price was reasonable, the dish itself left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, I just didn’t enjoy it. Hopefully other menu items fare better, but I can’t recommend the Penang Curry based on my experience.

My husband and I tried the Green Basil for a quiet dinner without the kids. The food was delicious, we had the green mango salad, a spicy chicken dish and a steak dish. The portions were appropriately sized, the prices are reasonable, and the food was authentic and delicious.
We sat outside, I was a hot, but pleasant evening. An outdoor cooling system (maybe a misting system) could be great for your business in the summer months.
I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and experience at the Green Basil.

Very small portion, I ordered duck meat, fried to dry, lots of skin and fat. I had such dish long ago, it was pure meat, no fat on it. With that good impression, I went back, but this time the horrible fatty dish made me don’t want to go to this restaurant again! I also had tofu soup this time, clear soup with few pieces tofu costed $5, not worth it!!!

Pad Thai was really good. The khao soi was bland and tasted more like an underspiced masala from India. Never had that dish prepared that way before. Attentive service.
