What People Are Saying About Thai Basil

Citysearch

In Short – Brightly painted walls are decorated with huge colorful fish. The room is crowded with tables and almost always noisy, putting a damper on intimate conversation. Entree options include tofu, chicken or shrimp smothered in not-too-garlicky brown sauce. Curries are rich, but not too heavy; spicy, but not brutal. The panang has coconut flavor and a lot of fresh, crisp veggies. For dessert, there's sweet and delicious ice cream, in green-tea or red-bean flavors.

Horrible! Never enter Thai Basil! It is down the hill!

by Mikayla123

Thai Basil is a horrible! They say it is a thai restraunt but is it not! It is all American Chinese food! The Drunken Noodles are all covered and sunk with stinky nasty goo! The service was extremly terrible! They don' ask you if you want to drink anything or if you would like to sit where. All they do when you enter is say nothing so you get your own menu and take a seat. The food took about 3 minutes to get here. I asked for sprite and they gave it to me when we were about to pay and go home. Horrilbe I regret paying 66 dolars eating just 2 Drunken Noodles and 2 orders of Srping Rolls.

DON'T RECOMMENDED THIS RESTRAUNT TO ANYONE!

  • Pros: Bad Service and Food
  • Cons: I will never come back ever again!

Very Good Pad Thai

by Dip1098

This is a great date spot. The atmosphere is very soothing and cultural. The food is served uniquely. The service was nice and fast. The food was delicious. I have ordered from them for delivery at least once a week since my initial visit.

  • Pros: good atmosphere, great food
  • Cons: parking may be an issue

Pathetic Service

by jflynn07

The food is great, but the service is embarassing. We walked in tonight at 9:55pm, and were informed upon seating that closing time is 10:30, so we better eat quick. At 10pm they started cleaning the floors, stacking chairs, while we were rushed our meal, extended no courtesy whatsoever by the staff, and not even asked if we wanted anything to drink. We were out the door by 10:20pm, so was the staff. Take out from here, don't eat in, you'll have a more enjoyable dining experience at your kitchen table.

  • Pros: Food is really good.
  • Cons: Service is really bad, very unfriendly.
