Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. Got the #50, can't recall the name, but it was delicious, with a spicy creamy curry over pork, eggplant, green bean, and with rice. Gf had the peanut chicken which was also delicious.
Nice quiet spot, a little eerily so, but I found it refreshing after a busy day. There was one nice woman serving, waitressing, and bussing, really busting her as* for a nice experience, which I appreciated. Looking forward to the next visit.

Hole in the wall BUT.... BEST PAD THAI in the city!
Honestly although I'm a meat eater, I will often get tofu and extra tofu because it is so crispy, seasoned, and phenomenal in the pad thai. I Haven't tried anything else but I'm sure it's fantastic if it's anything like the quality in the Pad Thai.
Vegetarian options: Tofu.

Hubby had the Medium spice pad thai that he thoroughly enjoyed, and I had the Peanut sauce chicken, which I thoroughly enjoyed as well. Our server was very hospitality. We're looking forward to going back. It was our first time, and it won't be our last.

Really good, the entrance to hotel might be sketchy but food is exquisite
We always order here and the last three visits have been the same, disappointed. Maybe it’s different for dine in, but Every time we order takeout pad Thai, it’s very small and like 4 pieces of meat.
We might try something different next time, or hurst go down the street and get a pad Thai somewhere else

Absolutely love Basil Court!
I went with a friend for lunch and I got the pad Thai and ordered it hot (spicy).
The service was fantastic, and the food was tasty and hot as requested!
Definitely a spot that is amazing for lunch and right on Ouellette. Check it out for sure.

Went for dinner with a friend recently after hopping the border from Detroit to enjoy tooling around Windsor for the day. She chose this establishment based on the stellar reviews. We descended the stairs to this basement establishment to find the place completely empty at 6:30pm—it was a red flag for me and I wanted to walk out, but my friend insisted we stay and give it a chance. The VERY kind (Chinese, not Thai) hostess/waitress welcomed us in and showed us to a table, explaining that post-COVID, their dine-in business has yet to rebound and they mostly do take away. It was telling that the phone didn’t ring once while we were there. The spring rolls we ordered were very good. I ordered a green curry with chicken and eggplant with medium spice and a the spicy noodles with beef and chicken, intending to take leftovers home for my partner. My friend had the chicken and shrimp pad Thai. The food was very unusual, in my opinion, but I chalked it up to Canadian tastes being different than what we expect in the U.S. My green curry was barely spicy and THICK with coconut milk. It wasn’t what I’m used to, but it was tasty. My friend’s pad Thai was RED. When I tasted it, I was amazed. “KETCHUP!!” I blurted out. As soon as I said this, my friend’s face fell. “That’s it.” She said. When my noodles arrived, I took a taste. Pure Maggi Sauce. Way too much. That was it. So, we had ketchup noodles and Maggi noodles. Thank God for the curry. I gladly shared with my friend. We left the noodles virtually untouched. We declined when the very nice woman helping us offered to pack up our noodles to go. When she asked if we didn’t like them, I was prepared to gently let her know that no, we did not, but my friend beat me to the punch and said something to the effect of, “Oh no, they were lovely. We just ordered too much and we’re traveling, so we won’t be able to take them with us.” Maybe our experience was just due to a difference in international tastes, but I’m dubious. The curry wasn’t bad, but I’d recommend any fan of pad Thai or Thai noodles in general steer clear… No bueno. A new chef may be in order. I did notice that there was a lack of any particularly Thai decoration in the space. Not even a photo of the King… just an embroidered wall hanging in Chinese characters. I will say however, that the service was most kind and friendly. My friend didn’t want to hurt our hostess’ feelings by making negative remarks on the quality of the food, but I think such a kind person as she deserves to hear an honest, yet gentle review such that she can suggest tweaking the recipes in an effort to improve her business. Maybe I’m way off base and people in Windsor really like their ketchup noodles, but it wasn’t for us. I hope the best for Basil Court.
Vegetarian options: They will gladly accommodate vegetarian diets.

Fantastic food, I’d recommend the peanut sauce mix with veggies, no fish sauce, and rice noodles! Great portions and prices, friendly staff, and fast!

Amazing food...chefs here know what they're doing. Quick and tasty! I've gotten bland pad thai from a take away before....come to Basil Court and you can assure tasty quality. As a vegetarian I'm crazy about their tofu and veggie pad thai...oh and romantic dim lighting Herr for dine in.

Taste of authentic Thailand in Windsor! The restaurant looks small from outside but it’s surprisingly large inside. The food brought me back to Asia.
Wonderful idea for a quiet date-night dinner in town. Taste is 10/10 and the service is amazing.

Interesting entrance...Pad Thai was just ok. Red not brown, little dry/clumpy. Spring rolls are solid meat, tasty.
