The food is great, looks great, smells great. But at what point do noodles with ginger and a little beef count as a $20 meal? Highly overpriced for Thai food. It's sad because we used to eat here a lot and it seems like everytime we come now the prices have gone up and up. You guys are good, just not luxury restaurant prices.

The food was delicious. Tons of flavor, seasoned well, cooked and fried perfectly. We got the vegetarian fried spring rolls, soft shell crab papaya salad, and drunken noodles with tofu and it was amazing. Highly recommend. And be sure to finish off your meal with the fried banana and coconut ice cream. ?

This was a bad experience all around. The food was bad, the price was ridiculous (especially when compared to the quality), and the service was sluggish, to say the least. And to top it all off, everyone in our house got sick. This is an easy and complete pass.

I recently dined at The Basil Thai Restaurant and had an outstanding experience. While the menu prices may seem high initially, the generous portions and delicious flavors make it well worth it.

The dishes I tried, including the Pad Thai and Massaman Curry, were rich and authentic, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The warm and inviting ambiance, coupled with the attentive and friendly staff, made for a perfect dining experience.

We loved the food and the atmosphere but the service could have been better. Our server was attentive until we got our food and then we didn’t see her the rest of the time, other than her handing us our receipt and walking away. This definitely took away from the experience.

I love Thai food. If you love Thai food. This is absolutely NOT the place to patron. We have visited here in the years past and the food was excellent. There has obviously been a change of ownership and the quality is below par. What a shame. It’s not that difficult to provide good Thai food with fresh ingredients and knowledgeable kitchen staff, I will absolutely not be returning here. As I said before, what a shame. We ordered the softshell crab green papaya salad. The green papaya was coarsely cut, and sloshing in the dressing. The soft-shell crab deep-fried very mediocre and greasy. (I love soft shell crab!)We also ordered the honey duck. Greasy granny and poor texture. The green chicken curry also, if you’re a green curry fan, as my family is you’ll be sorely disappointed. The pud thai was palatable but oily nothing to write home about. The basil fried rice we didn’t get to because our stomachs were so upset. Oh, and yes, we ordered the green beans. It looked like the Exxon Valdez oil spill. You get the picture. The white rice was OK. I absolutely would not recommend this place. if you are feeling adventurous and don’t exactly respect your stomachs go for it. ? lastly the stars are not accurate on the review. The service was 3 stars. The ladies took our order accurately and had most of their teeth. The food was definitely 1 star and the atmosphere 2 stars.

I can't believe it! The lady flat out refused to seat us and insisted we order to-go, like that's some kind of brilliant idea! Then, to add insult to injury, she tells us the restaurant is closing soon. We already knew what we wanted to order, but nooo, she couldn't be bothered to accommodate us. It's ridiculous how she chose to handle the situation. They should put they close at 2:15pm instead of 2:30.

So, so good. Yum! Plenty of gluten free and vegan options. The menu was easy to maneuver to find my needed gluten free options.

Dietary restrictions: A lot of vegan and gluten free options.

we were welcomed nicely and received water shortly after we took our seats. the water tasted much better than in other restaurants. the spring rolls as appetizers were delicious. you could tell that they were homemade. 1x fried rice with shrimps and 1x fried rice with tofu was also delicious. the portions were huge. a nice cozy family restaurant. definitely worth a visit if you like thai cuisine.

I’ve been eating here for the past four years. Maybe I’m just getting tired of it and ready for a new place. But they just seem like they’re off their game lately.The cream cheese wontons were not piping hot.The shrimp pad Thai did not have any crushed peanuts on top. The tofu was not hot and fresh, and the shrimp was not very tender.The vegetable medley had great flavor and the white rice was perfectThe gentleman in the table next to us was in need of something for the food that he was just served. The waitress comes up to our table to ask us what we would like to eat. She addressed the gentleman who was in need but did not go to his table. She stood at our table, and with a loud voice communicated with him, and then gave a snarky look as if she was put out by him.
