The Basil

They offer an affordable yet yummy Lunch Special & decent portions Service is always great and friendlyHighly recommend if you're nearby

Exceptional service, DELICIOUS food, and calming ambiance. I go to Thai restaurants often. This was my first time here and I am very delighted and satisfied. The servers were really nice and the food was so good. Definitely a recommended new spot.

The food taste was ok. Not the best ever, but good for the price. However I had two issues. One is that the Medium curry they gave us had the chili paste at the bottom of the container and it hasn't been stirred in yet. So at first it was very mild, then we noticed, stired it and then enjoyed what we ordered. Next time please stir the spice into the food. But the biggest thing is that the rice portion they gave us for takeout was ridiculously small. Smalest rice container over ever seen. In 40 plus years on the planet I didn't know a rice container this small existed. I was this many days old. It also makes no sense because rice is so cheap, just give a normal sized rice and don't be so chintzy. I might come back but will probably look for other places too.

The best Thai for your buck in the South Bay area. The prices are not ridiculous - they even have good $12 lunch specials. But the execution & flavors of their dishes are on par with the fancy schamncy spots. By far my favorite dish is their Drunken Noodles with Tofu - always super flavorful, aromatic, and spicy. I do eat meat but the texture of the tofu is great with the noodles. Another standout is their spicy eggplant with tofu - not oily or overcooked and very yummy.The pad see ew and wonton soup were not bad, just basic. And I was sad that they forgot the bok choy in our soup. Hits the spot if you're craving it though. Most of their stir fried dishes have a lot of smoky undertones. I enjoy it but it might be overpowering for others (like my noodle loving toddler who surprisingly rejected the pad see ew). When you dine in, they are super accomodating for little ones. Cute little reusable cups, special utensils and very clean high chairs. Love how spacious the place is inside and the team is super welcoming and attentive.

The glass noodles with the pork and vegetables were on point. Hopefully next time they won't be so stingy with the pork. Other than that, the flavors were all there.

So, I've been coming to this location since 1997. I bought an old school discount book and Thai Basil was in it. I got hooked on Pad See Ewe (that's my favorite Thai dish). My family would come on Sunday's after church and enjoy dinner. The owner and his family would also be in the dining room enjoying their meal. My kids loved the cashew shrimp and fried rice. Though I have continued to visit throughout the years, the restaurant has now changed ownership. On the positive side, the portions are good and the value is good. The food has changed. The Pad See Ewe was tasty but super oily. They use to have chips with sweet and sour sauce- they don't have this anymore so I ordered the fried wontons. The wontons were super greasy as if they did not drain the oil before plating them. The sweet and sour sauce is a different color too. I just wish the Pad See Ewe tasted the same. The service is still good and the restaurant has had some simple upgrades. Not sure if I will be back. Maybe just for the nostalgia of what was- Family, Food and A Full Heart.

Ah, Thai food. How have I missed thee!https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=06XeAZvi3gDd_PQ8TcsDYQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Formerly Thai Basil many moons ago, when 7 Seas Tropical Fish was the main tenant of the plaza, The Basil bangs out delicious Thai food at a affordable price. Stopping by for lunch, I perused Thai Basil's $10.95 lunch specials (additional for beef/shrimp/brown rice/fried rice), and chose pad thai. Being the national dish of Thailand, it's the de facto bar which all Thai restaurants can be judged by.Lunch Special Pad Thaihttps://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=CjZOfvm46Vqu5PdCtzUuAw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Tangy & bright, which good pad thai should be. The generous amount of food was pleasing to my tummy. I relished each forkful of noodles. The included vegetable egg roll was crunchy, whereas the salad was a typical iceberg lettuce salad. At $10.95, this meal was a bargain.https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=hxspdJzIjRY91FqwPagC9w&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was good. The food didn't take long, at all. Ample seating via booths & tables, The Basil shares a private parking lot, and is locate on the right of The Donut Place. With prices rising on just about everything, The Basil's $10.95 lunch specials are a sight for sore eyes & stomachs. I was thoroughly impressed by their pad thai, and am looking forward to frequenting the restaurant more, as Thai food is one of my favorite cuisines, and I always wonder why I don't partake of it more often? Knowing the $10.95 price may not last long, considering everything going on in the world, I plan on taking advantage of it often & again. Highly recommend!

Ordered takeout from here as my wife, 4-year-old son, and I happened to be driving back from a park nearby. The food took a little while to be ready but, once it did, it wax clearly fresh and just prepared. And it was delicious!My wife has the glass noodle salad, which she loved and kept repeating how good it is. Even my son, who can be a picky eater, loved his egg noodles with tofu. He mentioned it was a bit spicy, but "good spicy," and kept eating until he was full. (And eating my wife's dish as well.)I got the cashew nut dish, which was delicious, plentiful, and full of cashews. I ordered the combo with meat, chicken, and shrimp. And this is where I'm knocking a star I'm off their rating: There was literally one single shrimp in my "combo" dish. Nowhere in the description does it hint yo that, instead giving the very wring impression you'll get equal amounts kf beef, chicken, and shrimp. Had I known that, I'd have probably orders something else. Or at least not eaten the one sole shrimp immediately after opening the dish.

We got the sample appetizer, good variety and very good. We got 3 plates, Chinese broccoli with crispy pork, pineapple shrimp ginger curry, and garlic and pepper with chicken. All were fresh and very good. We will be back.

Love this place! Food is great and the service is so fast! We go there for take out a lot, but when we eat in, I find the space usually calm and well spaced out.
