Pretty small interior, but it looked like it was the go-to spot for take out. It was a revolving door. Our servers/cooks looked like they could be family and were super attentive and very nice. The spice levels were exactly as ordered. Inside is a little dated, but the food was solid. Tom Kha was a little different than what we are used to, but very good. My wife had the curry shrimp and it was excellent. I had the Beef Pad Kee Mao and beef had an amazing flavor. I would definitely go back!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Decided to try Green Basil after glowing recommendation from local regulars. So glad we did, because it’s delicious and everyone that works here is wonderful. There are classic, more commonly known Thai dishes, as well as lesser known dishes on the menu that provide a lovely variety. I got the crispy pork with prik king & side of white rice, my boyfriend got the green curry fried rice, and we both got Thai iced teas. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back.

This is an outstanding Thai restaurant! It ranks very highly among the best we've ever had! We're vegetarian and had no trouble finding suitable dishes. I had the vegetable green curry and it was wonderful! The flavors were balanced between slight sweetness, spiciness (i ordered spicy--one level below the highest: extra spicy) and curry flavor. I don't like sweet curries, and this was not too sweet, but just a hint. My dish included extra veggies, like Chinese eggplant, squash, bell peppers and carrots. You can get if with other proteins, too, such as chicken, beef or tofu. My wife had the tofu panang curry, which i tasted. It was a bit creamier than the green curry due to more coconut milk, but it had similar mild sweetness, good spice and balanced curry flavor. These are truly wonderful dishes! We also ordered basil vegetable rolls, which had fresh lettuce, basil, carrots and other fresh veggies wrapped in a moist rice paper roll. They were served with an excellent peanut sauce. They were so fresh and delightful! We ordered my son an appetizer of soy chicken nuggets, which were a bit tough, but he ate them with a vegetable roll. Their flavor was very good. He loves peanut butter, so that peanut sauce sealed the deal for him. You must try this place! I highly recommend it!
