" I couldn't wait to try the basil fried rice after hearing so many good things! I have to admit, it did not disappoint. Each spoonful was packed with flavor, and the fried egg on top was a heavenly touch. The staff was super accommodating, allowing me to add some extra spice. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Thai flavors. The relaxed ambiance completes the experience beautifully. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had a family dinner at The Basil and everything was delightful! We started with spring rolls, which were crispy and delightful. For the main course, I tried their red curry, which had a perfect level of spice and robust flavor. The kids loved their pad see ew. Service was friendly but a little slow at times, especially since it got a bit crowded. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved our visit! The Basil is a gem. The food is fresh, authentic, and very flavorful. I personally loved their Drunken Noodles and would recommend it to anyone. It was really great to have flavors that reminded me of my travels in Thailand. The only downside was that sometimes the staff could feel slightly overwhelmed and inattentive. Overall, a great place for authentic Thai food! " (*Curated Review*)

" This Thai restaurant is a must-try. The yellow curry is exceptional, packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice. The atmosphere is warm and inviting which makes you feel comfortable to sit and enjoy your meal. The only minor gripe I'd have is that the staff seemed rushed at times. But, I believe that’s typical during a busy dinner hour. Overall, a fantastic dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not to get too picky, but I believe The Basil could improve on their menu variety. They focus a lot on the usual dishes, which I understand are popular, but I would love to see some more authentic or lesser-known options. Nonetheless, I was pleased with the red curry I tried; it could’ve been a bit spicier, but that’s just personal preference. Service was decent, and I enjoyed the ambiance. I will return in hopes of more unique offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Basil has a very unique atmosphere, resembling a cozy little Thai oasis. Most of the food items I ordered were fairly authentic and packed with flavor. Yet, I felt the service could’ve been a bit more attentive, as my glass emptied often. Overall, a pleasant experience with a few minor hiccups. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful experience at The Basil. The Pad See Ew I had was mouthwatering, and the presentation was lovely too. The prices are reasonable considering the quality of food served. I appreciate that they pay attention to making the food fresh and authentic. Will certainly come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
