Thai Basil Restaurant

This is our favorite Thai place in Visalia. And their pad see ew is our favorite pad see ew anywhere. Service is quick and friendly. Try the orange chicken if dining in. It's excellent and crispy. Taking it home, it gets soggy. Spring rolls are generously filled and fresh. The ambiance is what you'd expect from a strip mall restaurant. Nothing special, but the food is great.

I love the vegan options here. Also the freshness of the food and the service. It is also very clean. Their food is flavored delicately and customized to your palate for heat.

Was looking for plant based / vegan options in visalia and came across this. The pictures of the large white menu are the most recent. Items you may find online they no longer make, like orange tofu. Ordered fried tofu appetizer, fried rice with tofu (no animal products), pad see ew (no animal products), pad kra paw, and mango sticky rice. They kindly asked if we wanted all dishes without animal products- made it so easy. They estimated our pick order would take about 30 minutes. It was ready in almost 30 minutes on the dot.

The restaurant is small but oh...my...goodness!!! The food is amazing and the staff are attentive, knowledgeable and polite. I ordered the Pad Thai with no spice and they followed my directions and it had no spice. They have a variety of different entrees

This place is located in the south east part of Visalia off Ben Maddox on the west end of Mary's Vineyard shopping center. It's small and quaint but the service is good and fast. They have reasonable lunch specials for takeout between 11:30 am to 2:30 pm. The Pad Thai lunch specials are very generous and easily a 2 meal entree. It comes with Pad Thai and your choice of meat, a veggie egg roll and a heaping spoon full of steamed white rice. It's lunch for 2 days. They put the crushed peanuts in a separate container. The soups are very good and the Tom Kha will set you right if you're feeling under the weather. They offer spicy levels and if you like stuff spicy then go with a high number. Their iced Thai tea is delicious and never disappoints. This is a popular spot for Asian food because it's simple and good. The prices are reasonable and the service is awesome. Sometimes the egg roll may be a little greasy and not so crispy but this restaurant is consistent about delivering great service and tasty Asian cuisine.

Their food is amazing each and every time we go. The service is a bit slow not the food outweighs the service.

I'm so disappointed this evening. I splurged on myself tonight and decided to go with Thai. It's always hot and cold with this place. Unfortunately it was cold tonight. I ordered pad thai and Panang curry. The saving grace was the pad Thai. But the curry. It was watery and filled with only little chicken and an ungodly amount of either green pepper vs jalapeño. That was it. Not the panang I know and live.

I really love Thai food and have consumed a LOT of Thai curry in my life. Thai basil is excellent. Their curry does run a bit on the salty side, but the flavor is phenomenal. And oh my goodness is their tofu good. I don't know what they do to make it, but I was shocked at the first bite I took. I have had a lot of tofu, but the way they prepare it was truly divine. So far, I have really enjoyed the Panang and the Yellow curries. Looking forward to trying more! Their service on weekdays is fast and efficient.

Love the vegetable spring rolls and orange chicken. The service and people are great always make you feel welcomed. One of my favorites in town.

If you're looking for good food for a alright price then look no more. Waking in is a bit weird as it's a small place that seems to be able to seat maybe 30 people at most. I ordered a pad-thai dish by itself and It costed me about $20... I haven't been back since but at least the food was good.
