So delicious!! We ordered via Caviar and the food came pretty fast and was still warm by the time we got it (45 min). I had the tofu pumpkin curry (which was so yummy!) and my husband got the fried rice with chicken (extra, extra spicy). Both entrees were delicious; we will definitely be ordering from them again!

Holy moly! What a feast! Between the undercooked potatoes, the watery curry soup, abundance raw slided onion and absent chicken; this has been the best representation of a lonely Christmas night take out for one. 1st and last time ordering here. The rice was good. No napkins tho. More

I don't know how this place is in business. Ordered green curry and panang curry for take out, both items were watery - this is not curry. This is coconut milk with chili oil on top. The spring rolls were bad and the green curry fried rice tasted sweet and overly salty. More

  • David Glusic

Food selection was simpler than other nearby Thai restaurants (which is a good thing). Food was well prepared and quickly served. Quality was not as good as other options in the area. Nothing particularly negative about my experience other than there's better locally.

  • Max Heinritz

I ordered takeout from here through the OrderAhead app. Food was ready on schedule. I had the green curry with chicken (mild) and brown rice. The curry was coconut-creamy, fresh, and delicious. I'm curious to know how healthy that dish is.

  • Pineapple Bear

Tried this place out because my usual thai place is closed on Tuesdays. I ordered the pineapple fried rice with chicken and prawns to go. I don't think I have ever been so disappointed in a restaurant for serving up such food. I payed $17

  • Jae Jae

This place is shady. I order almost $70 worth of food. We were all in the back on the deck so we didn't hear the delivery girl come by. She did not leave the food at the door and they didn't refund me my money. I called and no answer. I

  • Rachel Crawford

oh wow: these folks go to great lengths to make very tasty, very beautiful food! in a town overflowing with thai options this place stands out. it's a beautiful interior space, too: an asian restaurant where you want to dine-in? almost

  • Elliot Schwartz

We really enjoyed all our dishes! The Phuket Fish and Red Curry were especially good. The Pad See Ew, String Beans, Satay, and Samosas were tasty too. Even though we asked for mild, the curry & beans were still very spicy so beware.

  • Ramsey D

I have come here to dine in several times. I feel it is a very peaceful space. They have a fountain providing ambient water sounds. The food is good and there are a lot of vegan options to choose from as well. Since the pandemic it

  • Joey Cuomo S

Amazing Thai cucine! The restaurant is kinda small but cozy. The staff is very friendly. The food are excellent! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Duck Larb Salad and the Green Curry. Of course, enjoy the meal with a refreshing Thai tea!

  • Cary Sloan

Flavor and Spice of Green Curry broth were good, but the many vegetables in it were completely raw and crunchy. I guess they have a bunch of broth and then quickly throw in raw Veggies and re-heat when an order comes in.. More

  • Dave Schmoeller

Ordered for delivery through their site. Overall, mixed results on the food. Some was outstanding and others were "just ok." The SweetBasil entree was amazing and highly recommend... full of flavor. Tom Yum soup was good.

  • Sonam Gupta

Absolutely great thai restaurant. Quick service, nice ambiance. We ordered pad thai, panang curry and summer rolls. Very tasty. You can ask them for different spice levels. Prices were reasonable. Definitely recommend it.

  • Matthew Bushee

My wife and I meant to go to the Thai Idea, but the address from their website took us to Sweet Basil...we stayed anyway and are so glad we did! The veggie curry is absolutely amazing! Great service and nice decor.

  • Scott Elliott

Pad Thai with shrimp and the crab rangoons were among the best I’ve ever had. Seems like they do a fair amount of takeout, but there weren’t many there dining in when we went so getting a table was no problem. More

  • Chelsea Robertson

Had a great dinner here, pad thai was flavorful and the beautiful plate presentation was quite a treat! Very affordable, even with drinks! Perfect for cheap quality take out or a budget friendly date.

  • Stephen Schur

Excellent. Beautifully decorated, you'll eat it here rather than take out to the back garden of the Royal Cuckoo! Chef came out and greeted us. Interesting slide show: photos of the feed. Quite yummy.

  • Dan C

Solid Thai option. The food's got great flavor, is presented well, and if you ask for it spicy it's spicy! Beware, if you ask for it 'thai spicy (a 5 on their scale) it's really, really spicy.

  • B D

Very tasty. My chicken coconut soup was super spicy despite my not asking for it that way. I like spicy and enjoyed it for a while then it almost grew to be inedible. It was over the top.

  • Eddie A

Delicious food, great presentation, good service and the flavor of the red curry is just right. The place does a decent amount of takeout, but I like stopping in. Great pad Thai as well.

  • Sheran Hewa

Absolutely horrible!! The “Pad Krapow” is not really that at all. The beef is not minced, doesn’t come with rice, extremely watery, full of onions and bell peppers and barely any

  • David Clarke

First of all, the good stuff... My first order through Yelp and their app partner, Eat24. Easy order process. The order came quickly, and the pineapple fried rice was good.

  • Tommy Parisi

Food had a roach in it. Searched on yelp and there are several people that have had this problem. This place needs to be shut down by the health board. Disgusting. More

  • Aaron Bikis

Was dead when we came in but I was suprised by how good the curry and fried noodles are. I'd put it on my top 5 best thai spots in the city. Super friendly staff too.

  • Ryan Patterson

This is a great place, with great staff, great food and a great experience. I've had takeout and dined in here and enjoyed almost everything we have

  • Salvatore Pieroni

Ordered on Uber eats. 15 bucks for six crab ragoons. But that’s not the worst part. Pad Thai was definitely seasoned with ketchup…. Im not joking.

  • AJ Rikli

Great lunch spot, affordable prices. I got the red curry "spicy" but it didn't have a ton of heat. I'll probably order extra spicy next time.

  • Aria Pipp

We LOVE sweet Thai basil! Incredible menu and fast service. The green curry friend rice is delicious and can be made super spicy! Plenty of

  • Miss Mia

That was actually the worst Curry. I asked for spicy there was almost no flavor. Watered down. Mediocre. Disappointed. More

  • M cm

Pad Thai had ketchup in it and soup was over salted. Not worth the price and pretty poor tasting. Best thing was the rice

  • Spurgeon Wright III

As I was ordering food at a table, the waitress passive aggressively asked me if I was ordering to go.

  • Matthew Davies (daviesgeek)

Good food, decent service. Wasn’t happy about the forced gratuity for a party over 6, but it’s fine.

  • Chris Mendoza

Food was good. Wish they had outdoor seating.. I rate the food an 8 out of 10 #BeinKids …

Stopped by for lunch. Chicken Penang over rice. Was good. Service was good too. Recommended.

The food was 1-dimensional. It would've been great if I was drunk.
