    Yellow curry

    Beautiful hole-in-the-wall Thai place. Food came out piping hot and fresh. Curry was balanced, flavorful, with a great coconut base. Pad see ew noodles were cooked just right with a sweet and peppery kick. Lovely!

    Small restaurant with a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Free parking is easy in the lot but during traffic time could be hard to enter or leave the lot. Service is okay nothing to rave about and nothing to complain about. Food is tasty and great portions but a bit on the pricier side. We ordered the calamari for an appetizer which is about $10. The calamari was not bad but was different. This calamari was giving onion rings.... lol literally looked like onion rings and the breading tastes like onion rings. Wouldn't order the calamari again, probably would recommend skipping that. For the main entree I ordered the Pad Thai add prawns and spice level 3. The Pad Thai is about $18 and to add prawns it was $5 dollars more, so definitely on the pricier side. I've had great Pad Thai at lower prices elsewhere so this was a bit pricy in my opinion. The flavor and spice were super tasty but I did have to ask for lime since I didn't receive any like most places give. The waitress only gave me one slice when I asked for multiple... I was very appreciative of the large portions though as I had leftovers for later that evening. If I return I would order a spice level 4 as I love spicy and it wasn't spicy enough tbh. Food and atmosphere is enjoyable. Don't see myself returning or going out of my way to come here tbh but it's an okay spot in the Redmond area if you're craving Thai food.

    I just moved back to the PNW after 5 years away. This was the first meal that I ate out. How come the Thai food here is so vastly superior than elsewhere? Blows my mind. My wife's pad woon sen were the best noodles I've had in 5 years. The yellow curry noodles were a banger as well and such a big portion that two people split it and we still had leftovers. Even the chicken satay was markedly superior than out of state. Not to mention the space was very nicely decorated with hand-drawn signs in warm colors advertising their intriguing specials (avocado green curry, crab pad thai etc). 3 adults and a toddler spent less than $60 and had leftovers. I would love to come back.

    Pad Kee Mao
    karthik

    This is my first time at Bangkok basil. I ordered Pad Kee Mao, Chicken satay and banana coconut milk. Pad Kee Mao (beef with 5* spicy) - excellent taste, beef was little over cooked but over all tasted excellent. Quantity - good for 1 Chicken Stay - got 4 skews with peanut sauce and cucumber dipped with some sweet sauce. It was good. Quantity - good for 1 or 2 Banana in coconut milk - surprise desert at the end. Good and tasty. Quantity - good for 2 Service was great Ambience was pleasing. Definitely recommend

    Thai Egg Rolls
    Kumar V.

    I really doubt there is another place in Redmond matching the stature of Bangkok Basil when it comes to taste. The Thai Egg rolls were similar to spring rolls and were delicious. Pad Kee Mao was yummy - got 5/5 spicy - well it wasn't that hot tbh. Banana with Coconut milk was an interesting dessert. I know they make Mango with Sticky rice the best but that's seasonal. So I opted to try this out. Service was surprisingly quick this time. Ambience is average.

    A cute mom-pop shop in a strip mall near the highway on ramp. We had passed by this place a bunch of times while driving and made a point to go recently. I'm glad we did! The interior is warmly decorated albeit a bit small. Although we weren't greeted right away, we were seated promptly. There was a large party taking up half the seats and it seemed like there may have only been a few people working; we only saw the hostess on the floor and heard one voice coming from the kitchen. As we had our dinner, more people joined the group and a solo diner got a table behind us. We each ordered an entree and got pot stickers to share. Our guest hadn't only eaten at one Thai restaurant in his life so he ordered what he had before. As this was a new-to-us place, we also ordered our staples as a litmus test. Pot Stickers: Classic dumplings with a zippy vinaigrette. Tom Yum Soup: Our friend said the flavor was good but it was different from what he anticipated - he thought his order would come with noodles. As he was our guest, we encouraged him to order a side of them to add to his soup, but he declined. Pad Kee Mao: Surprisingly flavorful since considering I ordered this not spicy (I didn't even say 1 star). Generous portion and a decent amount of vegetables and tofu. The noodles could have been crispier, but they overall experience positive. Red Curry: My husband's order, which I can't recall the feedback... BUT he did eat it all. I'll come back to this.

    Pad See-Ew with chicken, $17.95 – 3.5 Stars
    Eva M.

    Bangkok Basil is located at a busy street corner/strip-mall in Redmond. While we dined-in, there were only one other table eating there the entire time. Every customer did take-out only, and there were many, many take-out orders. The place is small with maybe 10 tables. It's moderately decorated on top of older looking furniture. It is sufficient for a mom & pop type of neighborhood restaurant. Only one lady serviced the dining room; I suspect they know their business is mostly take-out. She was amicably sufficient. The menu has all the typical and expected dishes, except one. If there is anything unusual, I am ordering it! The prices seem comparable, but they have higher upcharges for prawns (+$5), seafood (+$6), and sub-Brown Rice ($3.50, yikes!). The place I normally go to (7 minutes away) charges prawns (+$3), seafood (+$5), and brown rice ($0.00!!!). These three are all important to me in a Thai menu. This might explain why I have ignored them for years. The Food: Avocado Curry with Tofu, 4-star spicy, $19.95 - 4.5 Stars This is the one less common dish on the menu. Other places have it, but definitely less common. Chunks of avocado is added to a typical green curry. Green curry has a sharper taste than yellow and red, but the creamy avocado nullifies it nicely. Yummy dish. I would have wanted brown rice, but I sure am not paying $3.50 for it. Roast Duck Curry, $22.95 - 4 Stars Boneless piece of duck in a red curry sauce. It met expectations. Pad See-Ew with chicken, $17.95 - 3.5 Stars The noodles are way overcooked and lifeless. However, the dish has good wok-hei and good flavor. I am giving them a passing grade.

    I love this spot so much. Unfortunately their spice level varies wildly so my husband won't get them with me anymore, but I stop in solo when I get a chance!

    Chicken Pad Kee Mao
    Roberth K.

    So. Delicious. Everything on the menu is amazing! Just eat it! Shut up and eat it!! Really, this place is one of the places I go to so often that I should have a membership card. The place is small and always busy, even at odd hours you're rarely alone. I most often do take-out though as the location is not really in a "stumbled in while out walking" place. Their pad see-ew is particularly good. If you like your Thai food spicy you'll have to remember to order at the highest spice-level here (5) or else you'll be disappointed as anything below 4 is barely noticeable as heat on your tongue.

    Great local spot for Thai food. It has a relatively quaint atmosphere and seems like a great lesser-known spot. I ordered the Crispy Duck Curry (with Penang curry) and was blown away with both the portion size and the flavors. Since our meal took ~40 minutes to prepare, the owner was nice enough to give us complimentary Thai Tea which was also quite good. Definitely would recommend if you're looking for a new Thai place!

    One of my offices requested Bangkok Basil for lunch, and I was so impressed with the service and recommendations from the staff I ordered my family dinner a few hours later. Customer service was fantastic, I greatly appreciate how Ann checks to ensure every item orders is within the to go bag. I was also able to customize each dish per preferences within the online ordering portal. My husband really enjoyed his sweet and sour chicken, unlike most Bangkok Basil doesn't add a batter to fry the chicken making it better to serve with the rice. The pad Thai was really good, filled with flavor and vegetables. I will definitely return, and highly recommend.

    I just found my favorite way to eat Hainan Chicken…read more A Ma is known for their Hainanese chicken rice and Cambodian noodle soup. This place is almost always packed and for good reason! It goes without question that their Classic Chicken Rice is insane, but my standout was their Crispy Chicken Rice. Wow. I didn't know this could exist, but I'm so glad that it does! A fried indulgent version of the cult classic. Everything is served on a bed of chicken-fat-infused rice and comes with sides of broth, pickled veggies, and sauces. So good.

We went with the combo chicken rice so we could try both the poached and crispy chicken. The poached chicken was probably my favorite. It was super tender and juicy and went perfectly with the rice. The crispy chicken was completely different but just as good in its own way. Nice crunch on the outside while still having plenty of flavor. The rice deserves its own mention too. It might look simple at first, but it has way more flavor than regular white rice and works perfectly with the chicken. Once you start mixing in the different sauces, that's when everything really comes together. I kept switching between the sauces because each one gave the chicken a completely different flavor. I also really liked having the broth on the side. It's such a simple addition, but having something warm to sip between bites made the whole meal feel more complete. Service was quick and straightforward. We didn't have to wait very long for our food, and everyone was friendly when we needed something. The restaurant itself isn't huge, but it has a casual and comfortable atmosphere that works perfectly for this type of food. I honestly didn't expect chicken and rice to be this satisfying. It's simple food done really well, and sometimes that's exactly what you want. By the end I was completely full but still wanted a few more bites of the rice with the sauce lol. Definitely coming back. Next time I might just get the classic chicken rice, but the combo is perfect for your first visit if you want to try both styles.

The fact that these were also coated in oil was pretty nice. On the inside, I thought the prawns were cooked well - they remained pretty soft and didn't appear overcooked I did feel like the spice was pretty much missing, though. I ordered 4/5 stars, but it tasted more like 1/5 stars as there was a pretty significant lack of spice that took away from a lot of the flavor potential. Speaking of the missing flavor, there should've been a lot more sauce added to this dish - either poured on top of the prawns or the prawns come sitting in it. The benefit of this is that it you can mix everything with the rice - and this sauce coats the rice to make it taste good. The way it's currently presented, the prawns are too large to really eat with the rice, and mixing the two will just result in eating the meat and taking another bite of plain rice because there isn't enough sauce to coat the rice. This dish just ended up being eating the prawns by themselves - the rice wasn't super useful As a result, after finishing I really wasn't that full For the price (around 20 ish) there are a good amount of prawns, but I wouldn't really say you're getting a good deal here

    Went out for dinner with family and tried the Thai sukiyaki, khao soi, and Panang curry with tofu…read more We chose spice level 3 for most dishes and level 5 for the khao soi. The restaurant was hosting an event, so part of the space was closed off, and service was noticeably slow. It took a while for the food to arrive. The khao soi was decent--not the best I've had, but still a solid choice. The Panang curry had a mild flavor with a subtle lime note and a touch of sweetness, which was interesting but not particularly bold. Overall, the food was okay, but unless you live nearby, it might not be worth the trip. If you do go, I'd recommend ordering a higher spice level, as everything leaned on the mild side. Good ambiance overall.

Fern Thai is one of the rare exceptions. Everything I've ordered here has been phenomenal, making it my absolute go-to spot to take friends and family for a guaranteed great meal. ​The Highlights: * great ambiance * ​Pad Thai: At most restaurants, Pad Thai feels like a waste of money, but here it is worth every single penny. * ​Gai Tod Hat Yai: An all-time favorite dish! You get a deep-fried half chicken served with flaky roti, panang curry sauce, sweet chili sauce, and a fresh cucumber salad on the side. (Note: The chicken breast can occasionally have its tender vs. slightly tougher days, but the flavors overall are unbeatable). * Beef ​Pad See Ew: Generous with the protein and broccoli, unlike other spots that give you 95% noodles. ​* Crab Fried Rice: Phenomenal execution with incredible, smoky wok hei. * * * ​Specialty Seafood Dishes: Highly recommend ordering off their specialty menu. The seafood plates are packed with crazy amounts of umami and have the perfect rich saltiness when paired with rice. Only lowlight: as for any good restaurants in greater seattle area, the wait can be long. I'd suggest avoiding peak time. ​I try to order something new every time I visit because every dish delivers.
