The prices on the menu are wrong. The quality of the food has gone down tremendously. The alcohol is watered down. We used to come often, but now we wont ever be back.

Prices are not correct. Menu needs to be updated.
Best sushi place in Monroe and great service
I moved here from Seattle, and have been to Thailand, so I ordered knowing my expectations were high for Thai food.
Service was excellent, but the curries lack Thai flavor. I was not asked for a heat level and the rice is plain, not Jasmine. Also real green curry does not have peas and corn in it, and there was no green pepper or eggplant in it which is standard in green curry. Panang curry also lacked Thai flavor.
On a positive note they loaded it with chicken and vegetables, just not the right kind. For the same price as Seattle (15.95) I expect more Thai flavor.

Prices are not accurate. My sushi roll was several dollars more on my ticket than the menu. Also did not give back coins and so the server rounded DOWN. Overall not a pleasant experience. 0/10 would not recommend. This place sucks.
ate there tonight for the first time and it was great! food was awesome, clean establishment, and our server, Justin, was fantastic! it'll be our new go to spot.
I ordered the chicken pho (7.95) and steamed dumplings (4.95), to go. When I picked up the order I noticed a sign saying there was a 15% charge on to go orders (and that it wasn't a tip). This wasn't disclosed over the phone. I asked for an updated menu and one was unavailable. They told me I could get it online but that the prices would not be correct for online menus. No extra charge for dining in. The food was decent, but they should disclose the surcharge. I can't imagine supply chain issues are causing this much of a price in crease when no other restaurants in this area are charging like this. My order total was $27, and I added a $5 tip since apparently the restaurant isn't giving any of the 15% back to the hostess or wait staff.

Rice noodles weren’t even cooked with my pho. The pho broth was greasy and the shrimp were disgusting. 15% gratuity on a take out order is ridiculous.

So good!!
We ate at Basil of Monroe and absolutely loved it! The food was fresh, full of flavor, and everything came out hot and perfectly cooked. The sushi was amazing, and the fried rice was some of the best I’ve had around here.
The staff was super friendly and made us feel right at home. You can tell they really care about their customers. The whole place has a nice, cozy vibe too — great for a date night or dinner with friends.
If you haven’t tried Basil yet, you’re missing out! Definitely one of my new favorite spots in Monroe.

Menu prices are not accurate. Prices being charged are significantly higher than the prices in the menus provided. Menus are considering legally binding contracts. If the prices consumers are being charged are different from the ones shown in the menu it needs to be clearly communicated. There is a chalkboard to the left when you walk in where a message is written at the bottom about prices increasing (photo included), understandably given the economic state of our country. But the message does not say that the prices are not yet updated in the menu, it just says there has been an increase so for customers that aren't familiar with their prices there is no way for us to know that the menus provided are a version that is not up to date. Also, the host stand is to the right so customers are less likely to see the board that's to the left in a corner. This is illegal and if there is some loophole that lets them get away with this it's incredibly manipulative and disrespectful to their customers. I understand prices needing to be increased, but there needs to be transparency regarding prices. The message on the board is not sufficient, as it does not clarify that the menus prices aren't accurate. As customers we were never told the menu prices are inaccurate, and that information was not posted anywhere in the establishment available to us. Everything is $2-3+ more expensive than on the menu. Apparently this change went into effect early this week, but menus will be updated sometime later this week. The food and service was amazing, but this is incredibly unacceptable from management.
