Thai Basil Signature

Attitude sucks
Food don’t matter
Restaurant hours says closes at 9.30
And 8.30 they were closed once

Stopped by this place during my weekend trip in Phoenix, shortly before heading back home in the Bay Area. I tried the spicy pork fried rice. I’m all about pork and spicy so this meal was as delicious as I expected. Overall, the food and service was all around excellent.

They have a pretty good selection for lunch specials. Specials are until 3pm which is very good considering most places end their lunch specials sooner.
There are noodle options and dishes that come with soup, spring roll, and a side of rice.
I had the yellow curry chicken and it was pretty good. Not the best I had, but it was good
My friend had the curry noodles and she said she enjoyed it.

Work across the street and finally ordered sweet and sour chicken to go. Was disappointed that it was mostly vegetable and two very small pieces of chicken. Will not return.

I love this place! I think the waiters there already know my order. The food is good I like the atmosphere there. I get the cashew with beef! Try it next time you’re there.

We ordered take-​out for lunch and when we got there, they had accidentally given our order to someone else. They did not offer to fulfill our original order since their «kitchen was swamped» at the moment and told us to come back later. Not a good way to do business and we won’t be coming back.

So delicious, clean and authentic! Highly recommended! They even had real young white coconuts, my favorite :)

I am writing this review to get attention to their night time waiter who was so hospitable to me. I asked for a dish not knowing you must go out of your way to ask for it to look like a picture on Unilocal.The waiter graciously took my order back to remake it like the picture without hesitation when he could have just said oh well to the situation. I am very appreciative of that gesture and will continue to frequent this location.
On a different note for the food of Thai basil in general… I never eat at chain restaurants. In fact I despise them. This is the only exception to that rule. This place’s food is right on point and each location has nice waiters which I really like. Come here!

Super Service, but mediocre food. Pad Thai was OK. I never leave a Thai restaurant without ordering my favorite, sweet sticky rice with mango. The sweet sticky rice with mango small portion was disappointing. I wish the portion was a tad more, as it felt as if I got two bites of the sweet sticky rice. I guess if you want a small portion it was ok, but it left me wanting more. Overall this restaurant was OK. If you are looking for a quick bite with ambiance and great service try it for yourself, but If you have a big appetite I would skip this place.

Sunday night and this place was fairly (and expectedly) slow. Seated immediately and friendly.
The only mark-​down for this entire experience was the water– it had a tiny fly in it, and an unidentifiable piece of something (maybe fruit pith?). I’m not a big water drinker, so I ordered a beer. :)
Ordered the red Thai curry with lamb. Ordered it «Thai spicy,» but I’ve had hotter. Still, delicious! The coconut curry sauce was excellent – on par with a delicious bisque.
Price was nice. Just under $ 20 for dinner and drinks. I’ll come back.

Great service, atmosphere, food & desert were amazing!
Had veggie rolls, duck curry and banana ice cream, so yummy in my tummy

I decided to go for lunch since I saw they had pretty good lunch plate deals ($ 7 – 10 for a basic lunch plate). It was around 1pm and pretty busy, full of people that work in the surrounding area, I assume. I was quickly given a table, and then quickly rushed into ordering.
I went with Number 13, Panang Curry. It came with salad and a veggie egg roll. It’s a great deal if you just want to fill your stomach, not really caring about quality or taste. Everything seemed a little watered down. For example, the sauce that comes for the egg roll seems like they added water, or a simple syrup type thing. The curry it self wasn’t very tasty, just heavily spiced.
Everything was just kind of disappointing. I did like that my water glass was pretty much always full, but that was the best part.

Great place. Nice environment, quiet on a Thursday evening, nicely designed menu. Slightly on the upscale side on the interior design, but the menu is mid-​priced and accessible.
My Pad Thai was fantastic — among the better I’ve had across the country. It’s a classic dish, and they did it very well.

The services for the food came out in three different times and waited quite a while in between the service and I had the salad and my food came out last
I also had a shrimp salad and only two pieces of shrimp in it and it was called the papaya salad and there was no papaya and i kept digging and digging for the papaya — we eat a lot of Asian food and my husband agreed there was nothing special about his curry shrimp dinner
The sushi place next door was so full we couldn’t get in the front door so we went next-​door to this basil Thai place because we had somewhere we had to be in an hour and a half — at least it was quiet and we could talk to each other because there were not that many people in there — we were not impressed
Do not plan to go back

Overall it was ok. Quick service for lunch but small portions. Reasonably priced and friendly service. Food is so-​so.

Location: Lots of tables available for seatings. Overall the restaurant is relatively clean.
Service: Waiters and waitresses are great. They are attentive, friendly and my food came out in 10 minutes. Their speedy service really helps when I was on time crunch during a lunch break.
Food: I ordered a drunken noodles and it was delicious. The spicy level is exactly to my liking and the Thai ice tea is in a tall glass with reasonable amount of ice.
Rating: I’ll definitely come back here again. Price is reasonable and love their speedy service.

I loved the food here, but the service, the service is HORRIBLE!!!
The lady here at the business has such a horrible attitude, and all I wanted to ask her for was a Thai Tea to-​go!

Quick, tasty, inexpensive, and reliable. What more does one look for in a Thai lunch spot? You’ll be rushed in and out, but that’s the hallmark of a lunch joint that turns tables and fills tummies. While you’re seated, you will notice that the décor is a little nicer than your typical hole-​in-​the-​wall lunch spot, but the prices scream «nice find!» With lunch entrees ranging from $ 7.99 to $ 9.99, and including one spring roll and soup (salad in summer), you won’t be disappointed. The quantity of food is certainly plentiful, but the service isn’t particularly engaging or inspiring.
Side items are cheap, ranging from $ 1 to $ 2 for various rice sides in case the quantity the comes with your lunch entrée isn’t enough. Thai Basil offers the full gamut of curries, stir-​fry dishes, and noodle items that you would expect. I didn’t notice anything on the menu indicating what dishes were designed to be spicier than others. Y’all know that they call me Spice Fiend for a reason! On the opposite hand, if you’re very averse or sensitive to spice, you may want to assert mild.
Although I insisted that my Eggplant Garlic Chicken be prepared «Thai Hot,» it was anything but, while one of my coworkers specified «extra mild» for her Pad Thai and intimated that it was barely edible due to the heat. Different strokes for different folks!
All in all, I’m glad that my local friend led us here for a quick and tasty lunch that was friendly to both wallet and to palate. It’s hard to find a lunch for less than $ 10 that is truly satisfying and filling, while still being freshly-​prepared and brought to your table!

I came here with a decent sized group for a dinner. We made reservations a week ahead of time so they expected our arrival.
We were promptly greeted and asked for our drink orders. The waitress was taken aback that we were ordering wine by the bottle. She confirmed several times and then clarified once again before opening it at the table. It was pretty comical but there were 4 of us having wine so it was the economical thing to do.
Our table of 5 split a few starters (potstickers, spring rolls, and fried shrimp & vegetables) that seemed like frozen appetizers they popped in a fryer. It all tasted good but nothing special.
Pad thai at level 3 was pretty darn good and perfectly spiced for me. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals (green curry, seafood combination, etc.)
Overall good experience but nothing I’d go out of my way for. I’m not familiar with the Thai scene in AZ but it seems like they have a lot of local competition to deal with.

I love Thai food! Every time I’m a new city I just have to try the Thai food and compare. This is located in downtown Phoenix. My fiancé and I went for lunch. We were both pretty impress with the food. It was very good. I asked for extra spicy and yes it was spicy. So if you are not into spicy things I recommend you ask for mild. I will for sure go back, if I’m in Phoenix again.

Wir besuchten während unseres Aufenthalts in Phoenix mehrere Male dieses kleine thailändische Restaurant im Zentrum der Stadt. Die Speisekarte ist relativ umfangreich und enthält auch mehrere vegetarische Speisen.
Ausgezeichnet schmeckten die Suppen, die Currys und Reisgerichte. Dazu tranken wir thailändisches Bier. Die Kellnerin war sehr freundlich und nett.
