Basil Thai Bistro

I've had dinner here a few times over the years, when visiting from out-of-town to watch the annual Western & Southern tennis tournament. The food is consistently great - large portions, seemingly fresh and well-cooked vegetables, and accurate spice levels. Price is reasonable for what it is!

Excellent atmosphere and service. The restaurant has a modern feel to it. I ordered the Thai spring rolls and tofu pad thai, which was delivered promptly. The spring rolls were crispy and had good depth of flavor, with a nice mixture of vegetables. I got the maximum heat (level 4) on the tofu pad thai, which had a nice balance of sweet and heat. The tofu was prepared well, crispy with a light coating, and the dish had plenty of bean sprouts and green onion throughout. I noticed that there were many regulars dining in, by the way they interacted with the waiter, which is no surprise because this place was fantastic. Basil Thai Bistro is one of the top Thai restaurants in the area, and I'll definitely be back!

Overall, I'd rate Basil Thai a 3.75/5; I lean a bit closer to four but not quite there. I have ordered delivery from this restaurant twice. It is timely and always arrives warm, which is awesome! I am pescatarian, and I always order my meals with shrimp. You get... a kinda disappointing amount considering the upcharge that's applied. The shrimp is also just a bit overcooked- but still enjoyable, and other flavors in the dish can easily make up for that. Speaking of flavors, that is where this restaurant shines! I have thoroughly enjoyed the Pad Thai, Yellow Curry, and Tom Kha soup here. Especially the yellow curry- wow! The flavor is nothing short of soul satisfying. The Thai Tea is a touch on the sweet side for my tastes, but is still delicious- makes for a great dessert option. I think this will be my go-to Thai place in the area- but they can really make a splash if they make just a few tiny adjustments to improve quality. Keep up the good work and keep growing!
