Warmly greeted entering the restaurant for the first time since before covid. Vaguely remembering our favorite dishes with high hopes to find them again. We moved to this area in 1985, not sure when we found Sweet Basil, decades ago this was the only Thai on Solano Ave. We were not disappointed. Started with hot ginger tea, sweetened. Thom Yum and Noodle Soup (GF) Thai hot & sour lemongrass soup with prawns serve with Wide or Stick rice noodle. We stopped eating after a few servings, leaving a couple servings to take home. Very abundant and flavorful. The entree we came hoping to find met all our expectations Pra RamGrilled choice of meats served over a bed of spinach topped with peanut sauce. We added beef and can not wait to come back for this again. Delicious and enough for several servings. Added sticky rice. Easy to find street parking. Lots of room for seating safely, continuous stream of take out orders during the couple hour we were there.On the way out the door notice the tiny pics of family. We delighted during our meal in the sounds from the kitchen of chef, our server and a young child. My first choice for Thai on Solano Ave.

Wow wow wow!! I ordered two delicious dishes the other evening - the coconut mushroom soup and the spicy eggplant and basil dish w chicken.Sweet Basil is leaps and bounds above the other Thai restaurants I've dined with in recent years. Their attention to detail is superb. The quality of the dishes are amazing. The staff take great pride in their restaurant and it is apparent the moment you step in the door. The setting is beautiful, the service is welcoming and gracious and the food is stellar. Sweet Basil has been on Solano Avenue in Berkeley for many, many years. There is a great reason for their longevity. A beautiful, delicious gem . Thank you so much for your care and pride in each dish

Chef's special green curry fried rice is AMAZING! I had green curry fried rice all the time but this is different. It comes with fried shrimp on the side which add some crunchy to the meal, the curry taste is not too strong but still there nicely. Also has a bun of fresh veggie and topped with fried egg (this is a cherry on top) Restaurant is homey style really the cute and relax.Recommend:)

The food is pretty good - not my favorite, but not bad. However, the woman who runs the register is downright mean. Everytime I pick up food, I remember how much I just don't like her attitude. She's rude and unfriendly and just should not be in customer service. And then after getting a large dose of her grumpyosity, I don't come back for a while and then forget about her. Then I come back and remember that I have to deal with her in order to get my food and tell myself I won't come back. But I keep forgetting! I just really prefer to get food that doesn't come with so much negativity.

Pom our server is a delight. Cheerful and willing to help. She is so pleasant and polite. We did not like for anything.I ordered the drunken noodles and the And steak with cashew nut sauce. It was delicious and we made sure that we ordered Thai style and not the American flavors that have been upgraded on the menu. The dessert was a wonderful wonderful finish to this meal. Lots of deep fried bananas bright bananas floating in a drizzle of honey and a big dollap of coconut ice cream to join it. Delish.

first off, everyone here was so nice! definitely all around amazing service. as for the food, all of their dishes were seasoned so well. it hit the sweet, sour, & spicy notes that thai food typically has. i especially enjoyed their pad thai bc their noodles were perfectly chewy & soaked up the sauce so nicely without becoming all mushy overtime. the appetizer platter was so aesthetically pleasing & the perfect dish to share if you're coming with friends. it had all of the different appetizers they offer on their menu, so you get to try everything! i loved the trio of dipping sauces that was included.they definitely don't skimp out on their protein supplements here. just look at all the crab layered on top of our crab fried rice! all of their dishes can be made vegetarian, but you can also supplement with beef, chicken, or shrimp at a minimal cost. highly, highly recommend!

Delicious and versatile, I keep ordering from Sweet Basil Thai because they're close, fast, and consistently yummy! The drivers are always friendly (not sure if they're staff related to the restaurant or just gig drivers), but whatever is the case, I appreciate it.

Nina and I had intended to meet for lunch at Delirama but found them closed. I had misread the hours on their website, or else I had an old iteration of the website up. In any case they were closed on a Wednesday. We decided to walk across the street to Sweet Basil Thai. It has been decades since I was here. We were seated at a two top by the woman who also served as our server, and given menus. There was a large group seated nearby who were a bit noisy, but it was quieter after they left.We both ordered off the lunch menu. Their lunch specials cost $15.50 and included a crispy vegetable roll, a choice between tom yum or tom kha soup, salad, a main and rice. There is a $1 upcharge for brown rice. I like green curry best. It was marked as spicy so I asked our server whether it could be made mild. She told me it wasn't really that spicy, more like mild+, which is what I often order, so I decided to take a chance and order it, w/ pork, along w/ brown rice and tom kha soup. Nina ordered a dish w/ crispy chicken and green beans, w/ the same choices I made in soup and rice. We both ordered hot tea to drink. After a reasonable wait our food and drinks were brought to us.The lunch was served in a thali-like divided plate, the soup in one section, the salad in another, the rice in another and the main in another. The roll was perched in one of them. Each aspect of the meal was fresh and delicious. Nina gave me a taste of her chicken and green beans and they were very tasty. I mixed my rice w/ my curry, which was a little spicy, and it was perfect. The one gender neutral bathroom was very clean, w/ a lovely blue tile floor and low wainscotting of the same tile. We were both pleased w/ our lunches and would return.
