" A wonderful discovery! The egg rolls were crispy and filled with fresh veggies. For the main course, I went with the panang curry, which was a bit different but delicious nonetheless. The staff's warmth made the dining experience special. I’d urge anyone looking for some good Thai-food to try this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for the pad see ew, but I left disappointed. The flavor was off, and the noodles were stuck together. The staff was well-intentioned but served drinks that were way too sweet. However, they were very attentive to our needs, which is a plus. Perhaps others had better luck, and I may give this restaurant another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had really high hopes for Thai Basil given the buzz around it, but my experience was underwhelming. The pho lacked the herbs typically found in a good bowl; it felt like something was missing. Service was polite but a bit slow, and I was disappointed in the portion of meat. I might try them again for a different dish, but it wasn’t great this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Thai Basil is decent, but I wouldn’t say it’s the best. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing, but the food was just average. I had the ginger chicken, which was okay; it lacked bold flavors. The portion was big, so I left full. Service was attentive, though, which I appreciated. It’s good enough for a quick lunch, but not the top of my list. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to Thai Basil for years, and it's always a pleasure. The host recognizes me and always remembers my usual order - the drunken noodles - which are to die for! Perfectly sautéed with a generous helping of shrimp. However, I’ve noticed the consistency of the spice levels can vary, which is my only critique. Still, highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Thai Basil was a bit mixed. While the ambiance was pleasant, I found the food was overall a bit sweet compared to authentic dishes I've had elsewhere. The staff was courteous and helpful, but the food didn’t live up to my expectations for genuine Thai flavors. Still, the lunch specials are a good deal, and I'd consider giving it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic experience! I recently tried Thai Basil and everything was impeccable - from the service to the food. The Pad Thai was authentic, full of flavor, and just the right level of spice. The staff was extremely attentive and made great recommendations. I can't stop thinking about the coconut soup; it was heavenly! I will definitely be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)
