Basil the Bold

Basil the Bold is our go-to catering option. Always trying to find an excuse to have this delicious food! PanPan is so kind, helpful, and talented! Recently booked for a work lunch, and everyone loved it. I wish I could add more stars.

The tofu larb here is my favorite dish! I will definitely order from Basil the Bold for catering at any future events. They also do lunch dropoffs for the downtown SF area for those that work in the area on weekdays. And the owner, Panpan, is super nice!

This chicken curry was a vibrant dish, bursting with flavors and aromatic spices! I enjoyed it. The Larb also

How does one write a review for a closed business?Answer: Pastel.Having tried many makers' foods in the past six months, I happened to read the menu here and something caught my eye.Having tried a number of other businesses' noodle dishes, it was an automatic to try their chewy curry noodles (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=SZ7YaXpxSSdH05i1RCk5cA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); not knowing what to expect, I was happily overwhelmed by the flavors, textures, and variety of ingredients in this meal. The noodles certainly lived up to its name being chewy in a good way. The portions were large as I could only finish 3/4th in one sitting. The rest became my soup for another meal. I also how well packed my meal was (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=i-ApDc8OXDxl4UWBSqKqFQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q).Will look at their menu and check whether anything tempts me again like this one did. Try this if you are adventurous.

Their larb tofu was amazing!! Especially when it was freshly made! Just had some snacks this time but can't wait to try out their other dishes!

If you work in FIDI you gotta come out here for lunch. Quick, easy, delicious! I got the Larb Fried Chicken w/ Rice

Updated my ratings as per the owner's feedback and that they will make some changes. I have not been back since to try, but I wanted to increase my stars in response to the feedback.

As the date of my 5-day workshop approached the instructor supplied a short list of nearby places to grab lunch, noting that there weren't a whole lot of options in the Hunter's Point Shipyard area. This proved just the impetus I needed to prove him wrong. If Basil the Bold is anywhere nearby you really won't care if there is absolutely nothing else in the area. Operating out of a building on Third Street, it seems Basil the Bold mostly processes orders for home delivery (though they're currently doing a Sunday Pop-Up at Laughing Monk Brewing). The address sports a sign announcing the business but it sits on a locked metal gate. I called when I arrived, to ask how to get inside, and was told someone would be out in a couple of minutes.I'd grown so excited by Basil the Bold's menu that when it came time to order I'd opted for The Hearty ($13.50) + a couple of add-ons, desirous of sampling as broadly as possible. The Hearty includes chicken, tofu, chickpeas, and nuts atop thick, chewy noodles and a plethora of fresh, crunchy vegetables. Packaged separately, but intended to go atop The Hearty, is a rich, spicy, red Thai curry sauce and a separate container of some sort of firey dipping elixir. I cannot overstate how excellent and satisfying this entire dish was.Basil the Bold has got spicy Thai-inspired bowls on lock-down. Nobody else is doing anything like this and if they were, I guarantee it wouldn't be as delicious as these. 100% 5-star reviews don't lie. I can't recommend this place more highly. There's a superstar in the kitchen here and everyone should be lining up to support her delicious offering. I cannot wait to return.

Referral this catering from a friend. It did not disappoint me. We ordered catering for New Year at work. Food was good. My co-workers and I liked it a lot. We ordered tofu lard, chicken Lard, papaya salad, purple rice to go with the Thai curry with shrimps.. The tofu lard was crispy outside and soft inside, as well as the chicken Lard, crispy outside and juicy and tender inside. Both larbs has some level of spiciness and tangy, good combination. My favorite is the papaya salad. Tangy, crunchy, and salty all at once. I like the level of spiciness without the chili flakes (requested to put on the side). The Thai shrimp curry goes well with the purple rice. Since catering ordered for work, I really appreciated with the delivery and the utensils. It was very thoughtful of PanPan provided us with the utensils, serving spoons, and plates. It really make things much easier with ordering. Definitely will order again.

Amazing food, and the owner, PanPan helped me decide how to set the menu for a party of 15!
