" I’ve become a regular at Thai Basil! Absolutely love their vegan options. The green curry has such vibrant flavor, and I appreciate how they cater to different dietary needs. The staff is genuinely friendly and remembers us every time we come in. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for casual dinners. I can't sing enough praises about this spot! Always recommend it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Thai Basil and couldn't be more satisfied! The flavors were authentic and dishes were presented beautifully. I particularly loved the stuffed mushrooms, and for the main course, the Massaman curry was a highlight. The restaurant vibe was lively yet intimate. Service was exceptional; we were always attended to with a smile. The prices reflect the quality, and I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a delightful Thai dining adventure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Thai Basil last week, and I must say, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The waiter was warm and welcoming, and he took the time to explain the menu to my friends and I. We tried the Drunken Noodles and the Pad Thai, both of which were bursting with flavor. The Drunken Noodles had just the right amount of spice and were served steaming hot. The Pad Thai was beautifully presented with fresh ingredients. The restaurant had a cozy feel, and the decor added to the authentic Thai experience. I'll definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Thai Basil is a fantastic place if you’re in the mood for decent Thai cooking. While I had a good meal, I wouldn't say it's the best I've tried. The service was stupendous, but my curry was quite mild for my taste, especially coming from a place renowned for its spices. Parking was tricky, but the ambiance made up for it, with colorful decorations and cozy seating. Despite my minor disappointment, I'd still recommend trying their menu out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent Thai eatery but not the best one out there. We tried a mix of the fried rice, khao soi, and the curries. While the dishes had potential, they did not fully meet my expectations for authentic Thai cuisine. The flavors were there, but I found them to be milder than I usually prefer. Service was friendly, but we experienced a bit of a wait for our food. I'd like to give it another chance, but perhaps opt for spicier options next time. It's a nice space, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time visiting Thai Basil, and I was really looking forward to it based on previous reviews. The service was quick and attentive, and the atmosphere was nicely designed. However, I found the flavor of my Green Curry to be a bit lacking. It could have been spicier, and I didn't really taste the usual aromatic spices that are characteristic of a good curry. My friends enjoyed their meals, though, particularly the Pad See Ew and Thai Iced Tea. Overall, a decent experience, but not quite what I expected. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came across Thai Basil during a stroll around Sacramento and decided to give it a try. The environment was pleasant and created a relaxed atmosphere. I found my meal, the Khao Soi, to be quite fulfilling, though the heat was a little subdued. Although I felt the dishes were slightly overpriced, the vibrant flavors and freshness of the ingredients made up for it. Overall, it’s a good place but might not be my first choice in Thai food. " (*Curated Review*)
