Basil Thai

Most Thai restaurants in the Cincinnati area are good, This one is exceptional."Basil Thai" has become my favorite Thai restaurant. Located in a shopping mall in Kenwood I was amazed and blown away by the authentic taste, nice portion size and creativity. We tried several dishes and each was even better than the last. The Rainbow Sushi was stunning to look at and the taste was even betterOther standards like Pad Thai, Pineapple fried rice were exceptional The service is great. The food fabulous and it's probably the cleanest modern restaurant in town. They make everything to order, so expect a little wait time for your meal (But it is well worth the wait ).

I usually really enjoy eating here. But something changes. The carrots and onion used to be big and flavorful and fresh. I just ordered it and it looks and taste like everything came frozen. I just wasted $14 on crap food. Used to recommend but after this experience I probably won't ever go back.

This unassuming spot nestled in the strip mall near chick-fil-a is a well kept secret.Whether it's lunch with work colleagues or driving back up to Blue Ash from downtown to show friends this tasty restaurant, I have never once had a bad meal - it is always spot on.Service is friendly, but due to the small location, things can get slow if packed during the lunch rush. More often than not, service flows at a good pace.Heat levels are true here, so make sure you ask or make sure that you only order heat if you truly want it!

Ordered from DoorDash as I was too tired to go out to get something to eat.The Thai iced tea was too sweet unfortunately but the Penang, Tom Kha Soup, and custard sticky rice were all delightful.Next time I am in Cinci I will opt to dine in.No complaints other than the pure sugar Thai tea.

I visited Basil Thai for a girls night and had a nice experience! Overall, I didn't have any issues with my visit. Truthfully, I would say none of the dishes I had were memorable. It was a pretty average Thai experience all around. However, the dessert was very delicious! We got the Thai Custard with Sticky Rice at the waitress' recommendation, and we all were very pleasantly surprised.

Visited Basil Thai for the first time in a minute. Met the new owner, he seemed like a nice guy. It was great that they were open between lunch and dinner. That was a change that was convenient. The restaurant still looked nice inside.I ordered pad see ew, Tom Ka with shrimp and a Thai iced tea. One of the reasons that I and many others from Louisville come all the way up here is that Basil Thai uses fresh, wide noodles for many of their dishes. Unfortunately the new owners have begun using dried rice noodles. This gives dishes a different texture and flavor. You guessed it, my Pad see ew was one of those dishes now with dried noodles. It was lacking flavor and not tasty. I travel for work and I've eaten at great Thai restaurants all over the country. The Tom Ka was just off. It was hard to describe but the favor was bland and wrong. Overall, the experience was of a typical generic Thai restaurant that I've eaten in many times, not the Basil Thai that we came too so many times. I hope the owners read this and try to fix the opportunities. I'll be sad if Basil Thai goes away.

Got takeout from Basil Thai when I was in Blue Ash this week, it was good! I had the pork dumplings and larb gai. The larb was juicy and good, but it was a pretty small portion and didn't include rice or anything. I loved the food, but thought it was a bit overpriced for the amount of food I got.

Dined for lunch today and it was wonderful! Service was excellent and can't wait to go back and try more fresh sushi!

Just had lunch. The Chicken rice soup had no flavor. I think it was supposed to have ginger. Nope.Pad Thai - no bean sprouts, carrots or green onions. Whoever heard of Pad Thai without peanuts?

I ordered Pad Thai with chicken and Mixed Vegetables with beef both dishes mild because my husband doesn't like spicy and they were both tasteless. We barely ate any of it they were so bland. The beef in the Mixed Vegetables looked like it had been boiled, and the veggies were fresh but flavorless. The Pad Thai noodles were mushy and tasteless, and the chicken barely had any taste, the dish had some fresh bean sprouts and green onions along with some type of crumbs on top, but this did nothing to improve the taste. I've ordered mild Thai food in a lot of restaurants, but it still has a lot of flavor, not at Basil Thai. I would never recommend this restaurant.
