" If you want authentic Thai food, look no further than Basilic. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with genuine smiles and a warm atmosphere. The food? Absolutely divine! I tried the mango sticky rice, and it far exceeded my expectations. The portion sizes were generous, and I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices given the quality. I plan to make this my go-to Thai restaurant whenever I'm in Seattle! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place had a great feel, and the food was what you expect from a good Thai restaurant. The pad kee mao was very flavorful! I had it with shrimp and it felt very authentic. The service was quick and friendly. Atmosphere was homey, we loved sitting in the little corner booth. Great for a casual meal with friends. Definitely a returning customer here. " (*Curated Review*)

" The moment I stepped into Basilic, I felt like I had transported to Thailand. The decor was simple yet charming, and the ambiance was cozy. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the famous pad thai and a green curry. Everything was bursting with flavor! The pad thai was perhaps the best I've ever tasted, and that’s saying a lot given I've had it all over. Also, I must mention their Thai iced tea—it was perfectly balanced and refreshing! I wish I lived closer, as I would definitely be a regular here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Basilic last week after hearing great things. As a Thai food lover, I was excited! We ordered the crab fried rice and summer rolls. The flavors were solid, but the rice could’ve had more crab for my taste. The summer rolls were fresh, and the peanut sauce was delightful. The service was friendly but a little slow, especially during the dinner rush. However, the atmosphere was laid-back and enjoyable. I would come back to try their curry dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am so glad I decided to try Basilic for dinner! The ambiance reminded me so much of Thailand, with warm lighting and traditional decor. I had the yellow curry with chicken, and it blew me away! The flavor was spot on, not too spicy but definitely satisfying. The service was attentive without being intrusive. Plus, the prices were surprisingly affordable for such high-quality meals. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic! Everything about Basilic impressed me, from the friendly staff to the stunning presentation of the food. I ordered the garlic chicken, and it was bursting with flavor! The atmosphere was peaceful and felt very welcoming. The pricing was fair for what you received, and the portions were generous enough to prompt me to take some home. Definitely a highlight of my trip to Seattle! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Basilic was not what I expected. I ordered the red curry and found it to be quite bland compared to what I've had at other restaurants. While the atmosphere was nice, with a quaint homey vibe, I was disappointed overall. The service was adequate, but I felt rushed to place my order. I might give it another chance, but I’m not in a hurry to return after this visit. " (*Curated Review*)
