Great food selection. The food is excellent. Our whole family enjoyed the meal.We continue to enjoy this place every time we try it. Additionally, we like to try different and/or new things from the menu each time we go.There is a wide variety of dishes anyone e can order from.

Having many Thai and Laotion friends, I ordered the basics to test the basics. The papaya salad was "light"/americanized, and they did not have sticky rice and did not offer chopsticks. The tom yum soup was actually pretty good, but the pad thai, which is what they are known for, was meh. I asked for a spice tray (for the fish sauce/vinegar) and extra lime to season it up myself. Also, there was no AC. Just a small fan and open doors. I'm not sure if they do business without AC or if the AC was broken.

We love the Pad Thai. My husband and I always get three peppers spicy, while our kids prefer less heat. The Pad Thai is so flavorful. You can’t go wiring with this dish.

Great food at a reasonable price. The pad thai is the best! Teenage sons enjoy adding extra meat and choosing spice level.

We love Thai Basil! We've tried many items here and never received anything we really didn't enjoy. My favorites are the Pad Thai and their curry dishes.

I had beef basil leave stir fried, which was not the best. Beef was very dry and tough. Beans were not cooked and not spicy at all. My dish was not well presented. pad Thai was good.

Ate lunch with manager on Tuesday afternoon. We were seated promptly and greeted by a friendly server just a couple of minutes after sitting. I ordered a soup followed by a beef stir fry both medium heat finishing with their rendition of fried banana, a favorite Thai dessert for me. The soup had a nice spice level and satisfying broth with good body from the protein and vegetables. The stir fry was okay. I would have appreciated more color on the beef from additional few minutes stir frying and more flavor and a touch of brightness in the broth. Thai food excels in many ways, one of which is the combination of acid and spice which I would have liked to see even in a measured way in the stir fry. The dessert as with the soup had a good thermal heat when served and an attractive appearance. The chocolate drizzle provided a nice accent to the crispy banana wrappers that flaked well when cut with my fork. The banana inside was both thermally hot and soft. Could they offer this same dessert with maybe honey drizzle as another option? Prices seemed reasonable and quite competitive for the area, so I thought I experienced a good value for my lunch. I could return again if I was in the area.(My manager enjoyed her dishes as well.)

Thai Basil is delicious. I order from them every Saturday. They recognize my voice on the voice. And my food is already ready when I arrive.

I hate to say this, because I used to LOVE this place, but they must have changed the chefs and it’s just not the same. Don’t get me wrong, it was not bad, I still ate way too much of it.. but it’s just not the same. The flavors seem more bland. The lovely woman who used to own it must have retired.

Had a quiet family meal here after visiting the air and space museum. Impressed by quality of food, attentive service, and family atmosphere. Watch out for the Thai hot dishes! Mega hot for those not used to it!
