Second review as I couldn't add to my review from three years ago. Even after two hurricanes this place is amazing.The outside appearance doesn't do it justice. The sushi is always high quality and super fresh and the service has always been attentive. We had the tuna poke bowl which was packed with fresh ingredients and a very nice portion along with the sashimi appetizer.They have a small lot of parking in front and one in backThey take credit card and do take out

"Basil Leaf" is a Thai, SUSHI & Boba place right in St Pete Beach. They also have a sister restaurant right down the block that we haven't tried, yet. They do Mobile Orders/orders to go! I find this very useful as I don't think their dining room is very comfy. We are going to try the other location when we get back. They have a very interesting menu with the usual Thai foods with a sushi bar inside. This is what we have had so far. SUSHI: The Crab appetizer was superb. The best one we have ever had. We can't wait to order that again :)... The sushi rolls we ordered were ok. The Tempura shrimp was overly sweet with asparagus. Neither one of us liked the Shrimp Tempura roll, temperature, texture, flavors, none of it worked. The salmon skin roll was ok. Dining in it was cold & had too much eel sauce. The salmon skin roll, with NO eel sauce we got to go, was way better. The Amberjack roll was excellent. The most interesting thing on their menu here is the "Small Soups" I love soup. I make it all the time. Make my own bone broths etc,, it's very healthy for you. Moi very first job was makin bone broth in a Vietnamese restaurant. Anyway, moi learned life's most valuable lesson from this experience.Did you know that if you make yourself stinky enough to bugs they won't bite you? You're just stinky to bugs, not to people. Yes, this is true. This is Dr Chef life lesson #1. Eat Tons of Garlic & lemongrass & bugs won't bite you. OuiOui. The "Small Soups" section on the menu here has "TOM YUM GOONG" soup. The traditional way. OuiOui. Not only do they have the "TOM YUM GOONG" soup on the menu they have a mixed seafood version called "King of the sea" We had both. Both are superb. I love lemongrass soup, especially with fresh seafood. The only difference between the two is one has shrimp only & the "King of the sea" has mixed seafood with tiny oysters. It is Sensational. Very very strong lemongrass flavor just the way I like it. YUM! :)..Sir Hubbers & I really enjoyed the small soups. This is the way it's done folks. We had to leave due to the storm but we are on our way back. The first thing I want? "TOM YUM GOONG KING OF THE SEA" Mate! Arrrr! :)' So if you're planning on a day outdoors, near lots of mosquitos, bitting bugs, remember to eat your "Tom Yum Goong" & lots of garlic. Your welcome :)) Recommend. Will Return to update. Namaste.

Absolutely delicious! My mom ordered the yellow curry with noodles (the name now escapes me) and it was AMAZING! Some of the best curry either of us had ever had -- and with noodles instead of rice! We loved it! I ordered the Pad Kee Mao and also loved it! It was a fabulous vegan option with a small amount of heat, perfect noodles and plenty of veggies and tofu! Staff was kind and everything was very clean! Look forward to coming back!

Delicious as always, we started out with our usual, the Thai tea, my favorite one in the whole world, and it was less sweet than I remember, nothing 6 packs of sugar couldn't help haha. I got my favorite soup as an entree in a huge bowl and it was perfect, that stuff is addictive, heaven. And the basil sauce salmon was interesting, we didn't know the salmon was gonna be fried as it wasn't the first time we got a salmon dish, but it was a welcomed (and tasty) change, the basil sauce was flavorful (of course, like everything here). They really don't skimp on the portions here and we always leave with more to take home!

The basil leaf is my go to sushi place. The place could turn down there lights a little as I feel like I'm under a spot light. That is the only bad thing I have to say about this place. The sushi portions are big and worth the cost.

worlds best boba i always get the cookies and cream boba every year i come down but the service i had today was horrible the waiter didn't ask for our order for the first 30 minutes and when me and my family ordered it took another 30 minutes and the waiter kept giving us dirty looks and when she brought the food out my dishes were a little cold and the rice was a little soggy.

Delicious Thai food and very large portions. The waitstaff was very nice and helpful. Our table Ordered: veggie spring rolls, soft shell crab appetizer, thai Ice tea, Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Coconut milk Soup, and Ginger sauce salmon. The salmon was the star to me personally, although the menu offered Tilapia I asked if we could get the salmon instead and they obliged. Everything was stellar, my dining companion said the soft shell crab was the best he had. Another person at our table said the Tom Kha soup was the best he's had. We have another whole meal waiting for us due to leftovers. So glad we found this gem open on Christmas

I order my food online to pickup MYSELF. Little did I know that when you order online it goes through GrubHub. Which means they UPCHARGE all of your prices an outrageous price. Shame on Basil Leaf for doing this. Will not be ordering a pick up there again.

The food at this establishment is amazing and plentiful. The sushi rolls are large and the Pad Thai was enough for 2 people to have for dinner and lunch the following day. The service was friendly and the prices were reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes.Basil Leaf is a must if you're looking for something other than your typical seafood, pizza, or burger fare while in SPB.
