(3.5 out of 5)This place is in a really neat area in Dublin, it was my first time being in the ulferts center, the service here was alright nothing setting them apart in a negative or a positive way. The food here was good but a lot of there food is very sweet, been to many Thai places this is definitely the sweetest, pad Thai, and Tom kha. I do suggest trying this place out though, a solid 7/10When you come tell them Rothyy sent you!

Wow, if you want to feel unwelcomed, Thai Basil Express is the place to go! I've been here several times over the years (pre-Covid) and was looking forward to picking up takeout from an old favorite. After ordering, they asked me to leave - seriously. It was cold outside, and there was only one chair (literally ONE) for waiting, which was occupied, so I left like they said. Thankfully the restaurant is in Ulferts Center, so there were a bunch of stores to walk around in.When I returned to Thai Basil, I was mindful to step out of the way of service people and stood in the corner because I could see that they were busy. The restaurant was disorganized and unclean because it was small and packed to the brim (ie, like water pitchers were situated on top of the beverage refrigerator). No one smiled. The workers seemed annoyed and unhappy I came back to check on my food because, by standing in the corner, I was still blocking them from something. I found myself apologizing a lot because of how they talked to me to get out of their way. Once my takeout was ready, I couldn't run out of the restaurant fast enough. And I have never felt like that ever! Also, the food was lacking flavor and portion was small for the price. With so many Asian restaurants in Dublin, I will be taking my business to one where I get warmer service and more flavorful food.

This is a great lunch option in this center! Food is always fresh, and served as it's ready so there is the chance your whole tables food doesn't come out at the same time. Staff is super friendly. Seating can be hit or miss- sometimes you'll get a table immediately, other times you may have to wait. The dining area isn't very big here, but worth the wait! My favorite dish is always the Eggplant Basil #26, although every time i've gone with coworkers for lunch their meals they've ordered have always looked tasty as well!

This is one of my go to options for takeout. The Pad Thai is absolute bomb and the curry comes with excellent portions. It is enough for two people. I would also recommend the fried tofu as an appetizer. The service is fast when dining in so takeout is the way to go.

This was our first visit to this convenient spot at Ulferts Center. Service was quick and efficient. We ordered takeaway and had a sampling of appetizers and an entree:Triangular ShrimpFried TofuChili Basil ChickenChicken Satay SkewersThai Iced CoffeeThe food was tasty but a little dry. I would probably give this place another try to sample some of their other offerings since they are so convenient and reliably quick.

We order Green Curry, Thai Orange Chicken, Pineapple Fried Rice, Rad Na, Eggplants. They taste just the same as they were when they first opened.Ambiance is simple. Sometimes we sit down, simple tables and chairs, clean.

This was a cute little restaurant with friendly service, nice decor, and reasonable prices. We came in for lunch and the place was full, with customers waiting outside for take out or a table. The space is small, so large parties wouldn't be too comfortable in here, and walking between the seats and tables aren't too easy as well. There were only 2 people working the front of house so it took a bit of time to get necessities and our orders. The meals were delicious, and had great portion sizes to share. I was a big fan of their green bean chicken dish, that had curry spice and a sweet coconut flavor to finish. I also ordered the seafood basil chili, which was plentiful with all kids of meat, but I was quite disappointed with them using imitation crab as well how oily it was. I'm definitely coming back for another green bean dish, but for take out instead.

This location has been out go to spot for over 9+ years now, the food are so flavorful, right amount of spices and sauces just perfect in every bite. The service was always amazing, regardless whether if it was to-go or dine in, the hospitality was beyond more than expected. Will definitely be coming back. Perfect for a group setting, very homey atmosphere and welcoming.

It's really a shame because the food tastes good, but how good can it be if there are bugs in it? My parents ate here last night and brought home their leftovers for me, I was really looking forward to the eggplant, as I am pregnant and that's the size of my baby currently. Well I went to take a bite and noticed something that looked off about the eggplant. Well it was a bug. All nestled into the meat of the eggplant. And the bug looked just like the cockroaches in a place I lived temporarily in Oakland. I work in the restaurant industry currently, and restaurant staff absolutely need to be looking for signs of infestations, this is a serious health concern. I'm so glad I spotted this before I took a bite. PLEASE be aware!
