Second time we've been here. As usual the shrimp rolls, coconut soup and crab cakes were awesome. I was hesitate to order the seafood combination....I asked what seafood is in it. She said Shrimp, squid,mussels and scallops. The price for the combo was $25. We ordered 2 different seafood combo entrees. Neither had shrimp. They brought us 2 each but in my sauce. I definitely expected a little more actual seafood and our other entree had one scallop. She didn't care. Make your own choice.

Cozy restaurant but great food. We had been there for dinner. The dinner portion of one dish is a lot. I would say can easily serve 2. Tasty and delicious!

Very disappointing experience tonight. The flavors are on point however both seafood combination dishes we ordered had very little seafood. 1 scallop, 2 Mussels, and no shrimp. The crab cakes and Thai spring rolls were out of this world.

very good food but seating is tight and there are lots of delivery orders being taken/picked up at peak times. We waited quite a while but the food was very good.

First of all, I should mention that Sweet Basil has the best noodle/dollar ratio in Albany! My pad thai was like $13 and large enough to take home an entire lunch for the next day. I ordered it spicy and the flavor was on point! The fresh rolls were also delicious.I can't give 5 stars only because the restaurant was freezing and everyone had their winter coats on. Also, our table was in an awkward spot, close to the front door and right on top of another table. Still, I plan to come back here many more times for the delicious food, generous portions, and great service. Next time I want to try the curry.

Disaster experience and will not come back:1)not seemingly to welcome patronizing customer by leaving them waiting while multiple tables have been cleaned up and fully set (not reserved)2) eating food and found a metal staple wrapped with noodle while in mouth, this is safety issue. No exaggeration but have lost my trust for good.Good luck.

This is a small restaurant with 4-5 tables. It was very pleasantly decorated inside. We ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and Pierogies with potato and broccoli. Both were outstanding. The service was excellent as well. She came over right away and was very attentive. We were there mid-afternoon and there was only one other table so I can't say what would happen if they were full and there was a line. The price was also very reasonable. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

I usually pick up my food, haven't ate in in years. Always hot, always delicious! Thai tea is good! The drunken noodle with Duck is my favorite.

Adorable converted house with a small dining room and patio dining. Good is AMAZING. Try the fusion perogies!

Great food great staff. They get busy but the food is worth the wait
