" I visited Basil Canteen on a rainy Saturday night and it was the perfect dinner spot. The cozy, warm atmosphere was ideal for escaping the chilly weather. I tried the spicy basil chicken and thoroughly enjoyed it! The dish was nicely balanced with flavors, and the portion size was quite generous. Our server was pleasant, though a bit scatterbrained. Regardless, I left feeling satisfied and will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic experience overall! I visited Basil with some colleagues for a dinner meeting and was very pleased with the service and food. The duck curry was heavenly — full of flavor and just the right amount of spice. The atmosphere was conducive to conversation and the staff were very attentive. I’ll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a really enjoyable experience at Basil Canteen last weekend! The interior is stunning and gives off a cozy vibe perfect for gatherings. I ordered the tom kha soup, which was delightful and rich in flavor. My main dish, however, fell short as it was a little too salty. The staff was very attentive, which I appreciated. Would consider visiting again for the ambiance alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is fantastic! I’m a fan of their lunch specials, which are both appetizing and affordable. The staff is always welcoming, and the dining area feels relaxing. I highly recommend the chili duck. The flavors are on point! Sometimes the wait for food can be a bit long, but it’s worth it for the quality provided. Will definitely keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve always enjoyed my experiences at Basil Canteen. The environment is cozy, and I feel welcomed each time I visit. The flavors in the dishes are vibrant and true to the Thai culinary tradition. My favorite is their crispy duck with rice. However, I wish they offered more creative drinks. Overall, it's a great place to satisfy cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here recently and overall it was a mixed bag. The mint tea was exquisite, and the calamari was cooked to perfection. Unfortunately, my main dish, the basil stir fry, lacked seasoning. The server apologized for the delay, which was appreciated, but didn’t make up for the food quality. However, the dessert of fried banana with ice cream saved the evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Basil Canteen last weekend and it exceeded my expectations! The ambiance was chic yet cozy, perfect for a date night. I tried the tom yum soup and pad see ew, both of which were delicious. The soup had a perfect spice level, and the noodles were cooked just right. The only downside was the slight delay in service, but the food made up for it. I would definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)
