This is not Thai...

by schlimenhaumer

When I first walked into Thai Basil, I wasn't expecting an authentic Thai experience. The decor seems overly done and there is Chinese writing everywhere, which would be forgiveable given a good culinary experience. The food was terrible. I ordered the drunken noodles with chicken, which were way too sweet and had absolutely no spice to them; there was no option to order different levels of spice like there are at most other Thai restaurants. If you're looking for authentic Thai food, there are many other places I would recommend going to before this one...

• Pros: Fairly good service...
• Cons: Food, ambiance, a bit pricy for what you get...

Great Thai Food.

The atmosphere was nice, the restaurant was well decorated. They have a few private booths that may be available if you request them (I think it seats 4 ??). Since we do not have children we always end up in really small tables for two but surprisingly the tables were large enough that we did not ask to be moved. The wait staff was very polite and accommodating, the food was out quickly and they refilled the water and soft drinks as needed. The food was absolutely delicious, but the only thing missing was the lack of original desserts. They only had four desserts on their menu which were the standard chocolate cake, cheese cake, and some kind of apple pie.

• Pros: Atmosphere, Great Service, Great Food, Great Price and good amount of food, Plenty of Parking.
• Cons: Lack of original desserts :(

Excellent food and atmosphere, great staff

We used to live near the two best Asian restaurants in Denver, Moongate near 7th and Quebec, and Little Ollie's in Cherry Creek. But we just got back from Thai Basil again, and had to agree its probably the best Asian food and restaurant atmosphere in the South Suburbs and equal to the others. The Thai Vegetables and the Green Curry with Tofu, Chicken or Beef were fabulous. Once you have been there once, your mouth will water just reading reading their menu. Bon appetit!
