10 Best Thai Restaurants near Franklin

“5 Stars!!!!! I have made Sweet Basil my go to Thai when visiting the Milwaukee area. I will drive 40 minutes out of the way for this curry every time! Amazing food and excellent service.“

“One of the best spots in Milwaukee for Thai food, and my personal favorite. While other places in town are good as well, there's something special about the vibrant color of the curries, as well as the consistency of the food from order to order. I discovered this place during COVID, when it was carry out only, and easily ordered from them once a week in late 2020 - early 2021. It's still a wonderful spot for carry out, and the restaurant itself isn't large, but I am happy to have the option to enjoy the food in the restaurant now as well. The main server, a kind Thai lady who has never given me her name, always calls everyone honey and is genuinely excited and appreciative when the food is complimented. The entire atmosphere is a good, cozy mom & pop kind of place. I cannot recommend it highly enough. 10/10.“

“The best Takoyaki we've had since we had it in Osaka. Really delicious food!“

“I’ve been wanting to try this place FOREVER. And let’s be honest — I’m perimenopausal and time is not exactly slowing down for me. So for our anniversary, I took no chances. Reservations open 30 days in advance, and you better believe I was poised like an Olympic athlete at 4:00 pm sharp when they dropped. The only slot left? 5:00 pm. The early bird special. Listen — we will dine at 4:37 pm if that’s what it takes. Book it. First of all, the vibe? Chef’s kiss. Mellow, classy, a little dark, lounge-y in that “you feel cooler just sitting there” kind of way. The velvety, cushy seating made me want to cancel all my plans and just live there indefinitely. And then… Carli enters the chat. Mad. Props. To. Carli. She greeted us like we were VIPs, guided us like a culinary fairy godmother, and made recommendations with the confidence of someone who knows she’s about to change your life. We trusted her immediately — as one does when greatness appears tableside. We kicked things off with shared apps: Waygu as Rockfire (buttery, melt-in-your-soul magic), Royal Flower Dumplings, Kinnickinnic Crisp Shell, and the Nobu Spicy Salmon Crispy — which Carli brilliantly suggested we sub with tuna. A visionary. An icon. A leader. Each dish somehow outdid the last. That Waygu? I will be dreaming about it for months. It was so indulgent it should require a warning label. I’m fairly certain food p0rN was invented for that exact bite. Then came the noodle debate: Pad Thai vs. Drunken Noodles. Carli said she prefers the drunken noodles, and at this point she had not steered us wrong once — so obviously we followed her lead. Now let me just say, I once took a cooking class in Thailand and made drunken noodles myself. I’ve tasted the real deal. And this version? Hands down the best I’ve had in the U.S. No question. We added shrimp, and they were light, juicy, perfectly cooked — not a single rubbery overachiever in the bunch. Absolute perfection. We wrapped it up with a hazelnut tiramisu situation. I don’t remember the exact name because we inhaled it in approximately 18 seconds. It never stood a chance. Long story short: completely, wildly worth it. My boyfriend and I live in Madison and we both agreed we will absolutely be making the drive down just to eat here again. We came for our anniversary. We left planning our next visit. And Carli? She deserves a raise, a trophy, and possibly her own holiday.“

“I absolutely love this place their food is always good. I've been coming here for 7 years about once a month and have never had something I didn't like. However, the price has gone up which is fair due to everything going on in the world right now but the portions have been cut in half so that was disappointing to find out. Plus I got a drink today and after four sips it was gone because the cup was full of mostly ice.“

“Good food and great service. My glass of water remained full throughout my meal. She was quick at cleaning up unwanted plates and packed away food separately so we could take our leftovers home without having to sort them out.“

“I ordered volcano chicken at a spiciness of two. I always compare to my favorite volcano chicken at the King and I. This entree, though quite a bit less expensive, didn't have the tanginess of the sauce that I wish for. It also did not have as many vegetables as I am like. I thought I detected some ketchup in the sauce. I had a wonderful time eating with my companions, but I don't know if I would order this entree again.“

“We had chicken Pho.
The broth was very delicious sweet and strong. Added one spoon of chilli oil and the spice level was perfect for me. They gave garnish, which had Ming bean sprouts and lemon and basil. The quantity is perfect
Can’t wait to come during winter.
The ambience is so so, but they have been here for 22 yrs it seems.“

“We ordered to go the Pho was amazing“
