Excellent restaurant with quality southeast Asian food. I always get the curried tofu with rice and peanut sauce. All the toppings. Never fails. Always good! And the service inside is superb. Would recommend to anyone in the mood for a nice hearty filling bowl.
I had the tofu curry box on greens. The box contained 60% lettuce and the tofu was very dry. It's nice that there are healthy options but they can still taste good. The chicken pad thai was OK. Small amount of chicken and brick of noodles difficult to separate. Flavour was good.
Great place for healthy food, they always have fresh and organic ingredients that are gluten free. Go here every week
Pretty good! I went in with high expectations because I really love Thai food, overall would totally try again, 3 stars because I would have loved a bit more sauce in the noodles or a bigger stuff to noodle ratio but overall it hit the spot. Chicken was really tasty and cilantro was nice and flavors were bang on fantastic. Cute place inside. Would love to try again and dine in with something else off the menu to try
Healthy meal for a fair price. If you can handle your spice get the panang curry bowl it'll light you up. My go to when I want something fast and flavourful.
Finally got to eat at Basil Box, it's been discussed by me and my husband ever since it opened when we should try it.For $15 we got a drink, brownie/rice crackers/something, and 1 regular size basil box (which usually is $12+).Drink we got is a Passionfruit Lychee Soda. It was really carbonate so that was unexpected. We thought it would be full on the taste of both fruits but it felt like it was infused with both. It was ok but since you would be drinking a lot out of this cup. we thought that the ice was unnecessary since it was a cold day and it would water down the drink already. but that preference is just subjective to each person. we still liked the drink since it met the expectations of what the beverage said it would be.Basil box, we ordered custom made. vegetarian and for pregnant person :D so most of what we needed actually was safe for me to consume. so we got rice, sweet potato, coconut curry tofu, tangy tamarind, crushed peanuts, and crispy shallots! we were delighted that they can also serve vegan/gluten free items. these items looked fresh also on the containers and they had their own tongs so no cross contamination happening between meat/veggies etc. it actually did taste good, for me. as a pregant woman on her 2nd trimester, im very picky and i could vomit what doesn't work. im glad we got tangy tamarind bec it was not invasive to my palette and it was still tasty. the server was kind enough to make sure to tell us that it's a bit sour and fruity, and told us we can choose all the toppings. i was so happy cz our combination worked! yes, i have tried myself to make other weird combinations on sauces and other food and this time it worked for me and my husband.Brownies, the server was also kind enough to point out that it's not gluten free, if i ever chose that one. i was very happy on hiw she handled herself in taking our order. she was very kind, ready to answer, reassuring of our doubts, and very PATIENT!!!! the brownies are GOOD BTW. and i have a sweet tooth for cchocolates sooo IT'S MOIST and full of CHOCOLATE CHUNK BITS! too bad i have to share with my husband hehe.The place was clean. but the only thing i was sad about it that it seems like the staff left some cleaning products on the benches area, probably to kill of a smell or something. But the bad thing about that is that we didn't like the smell. it smelled like chlorine in my pregnant head. this almost made my husband not want to buy anything. Thankfully the smell didn't linger near the washroom area. so that's where we chose to stay instead and faced the windows. not sure how to deal with that cz i heard also from other customers complaining about the smell and no room to sit in and left.only wish i have is that the portioning could do better for a $12+ bowl. freshii gives out more and makes me full all the time with their portions. this is probably 2/3 of what freshii dishes out. but with the $15+ deal i do think it's worth to eat here. i hope to eat here again! keep it up BasilBox!
I had the build your own box with tofu and tamarind sauce.It was dry and bland. Way too little sauce for the amount of rice. Maybe the Penang curry would be better but probably won't be coming back for it.
Aesthetic Southeast Asian (Thai & Vietnamese) inspired eats inside The Amazing Brentwood. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, which adds to the enjoyable atmosphere. Lots of healthy options available, with handcrafted drinks and sauces made in house.My order:Low Calorie Signature Box: salad base with coconut curry tofu (very tasty), super seeds/peanuts, drizzled with a tangy tamarind sauce. I love firm tofu, as it adds a great texture. This box is less than 500 calories too. This was my favourite item out over everything.Passionfruit Lychee Soda was a bit light and mainly tasted like lychee (couldn’t really taste the passionfruit). I’d recommend sticking the Thai Iced Tea.Thai Iced Tea: strong tea flavour, I really enjoyed this.Pad Thai (Shrimp): pretty good flavours & portions, and I love the crushed peanuts on top. I’d recommend eating it fresh, and the noodles clump together easily once it gets cold.
2 stars for the clean restaurant and friendly staff. Unfortunately the food tasted more like a reheated frozen dinner than a freshly made dish. I had the pad thai with chicken and it really did taste like an instant pad thai that I used to make. Wish the food had better flavor. I won't return but did appreciate a warm meal on a cold and rainy day.
First time at a Basil Box and loved it! Ordered 3 boxes to-go (2 build your box and a Tofu Pad Thai). Great flavours and we thought the portions were good for the price! I just wish there were some more sauce and veggie options (especially less spicy sauce options for people who can't eat peanuts, which only leaves the tamarind), so hopefully they expand their offerings in the future! That being said, the proteins tasted good and everything went together well. Also had some of their refresher sodas which were crisp and fruity! Absolutely perfect for a warm day in the summer.It wasn't crowded, but the staff was patient and kind with our questions about the menu and ingredients. Will definitely be back!
