This is one of my favorite places. The food is great and the staff is always friendly.
This place is a new top favorite of mine! Best that I've had in the Twin Cities. Their Pad Thai is really good: saucy and their spice levels are right on track. I also had their cream cheese wontons and they were delicious! Flaky and delicious, plus the sauce was a perfect accent! I highly recommend this place!
Pork lovers need to try the crispy fried pork - mind-blowing
We first came to this restaurant for dinner with some of our friends and went went back the next day for lunch. It has really kind and friendly staff. The food is amazing, has lot's of flavor and it is less oily to.. Would definitely recommend to everybody.
Love it, Love it, love it. I would eat it all week.
Delicious and fast service. We chatted with another woman who was at the restaurant and she said she eats at the restaurant almost daily for the past week, because the food is great and reasonably priced.
Being in the twin cities ข้าวมันไก่ one of the kind. Not too many Thai restaurant around the country has this dish on their menu. Because of the work and time.
Amazing Food! You cannot go wrong! Been ordering regularly now for a solid month at least a few times a week! Always hits the spot! Great job on the Soups and Broth!
The yellow curry with white rice and chicken was AMAZING!! Mild was a lil spicy so be prepared for a lil kick! Highly recommend the spring rolls too.
Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free and dairy free options, I think all the house made sauces were gf and df. The curry was amazing!

Thank you!
Thai Basil will take care of all your Thai cuisine cravings.
Went here at the beginning of Nov it was pretty busy but it was election night. My wait time was about 30 minutes for pick up. When I got there there was a few parties dining in and plenty of 3rd party delivery orders going out. This place is pretty popular!
Glad I splurged for the cheese wontons these were some of the best I’ve had in a long time they were full of cream cheese! and let’s not talk about the shape! The veggie egg rolls hit the spot. For entrees we got the Pad Thai and Basil fried rice with tofu. Both recipes were standard flavors. Proportions allowed for sharing and enough for lunch the next day.
This place could easily be a favorite spot.
Pros: Good Food, great proportions.
Cons: Parking could get tricky during busy times, as this restaurant is on a main stowing no parking the street.
Vegetarian options: Any dish can be made meatless
Parking: No street parking

Ordered the chicken red curry with sticky rice. The curry was very sweet even though I ordered it Medium spice and the sticky rice was harder than any sticky rice I’ve ever had. Like two pieces of meat in the whole thing with mostly veggies. Definitely not worth the drive for me. The Thai places around me were not open as early as this place but now I know they’re at least worth the wait.

Excellent service - attentive, quick, and accommodating.
Incredible food. We ordered multiple items but only one person in our group remembered to take a picture. Khao Moo Krob (Crispy Pork Rice) shown here was delicious. Possibly the best pho broth I’ve ever tasted. Full, rich flavor that can only be described as comforting. Fried chicken wings were hot and crispy. House-made sauce for spring rolls was delightful - coming from someone who typically steers away from peanut sauces and I couldn’t get enough of it! Best drunken noodles in the Twin Cities.
Lovely atmosphere - clean and welcoming.
Extremely reasonably priced especially for the serving sizes!
I will definitely be back!
Dietary restrictions: Clear gluten free designation on menu. House-made sauces are vegan and gluten free!

$32 pad thai on uber eats. $32. Pad thai. These fine folks have ingested too much fish oil and the mercury has passed their blood-brain barrier. $32 pad thai. No (It is good pad thai tho).

I’ve ordered the drunken noodles (w/ chicken) many times and honestly it’s the best one I’ve had from any other Thai restaurant. Can’t go wrong with the Pad Thai either and the chicken egg rolls are delicious. Super friendly staff too— they’re always wonderful whenever pick up food.
Told my coworker about it and her and her husband loved it now❤️❤️10/10 definitely recommend (already am lol)
