I ordered carry out while I was in town for a work conference and was very happy with the food! For an appetizer, I got the salt and pepper calamari and it was excellent. As an entree I got the Pad Thai with tofu and it was outstanding. I could specify the spice level and it was perfect. I got two pieces of salmon sushi and it was fresh and delicious. When going in to pick up the food, the restaurant was beautiful and staff was friendly. If I get to come back to Wooster for work then I will certainly re-order from here! read more

Food came out extremely quick after we ordered!!! Crab rangoon was delicious, highly recommend. Restaurant was busy but not packed and decently loud. They fit a lot of tables within the dining area. Seafood fried rice was good, could use some more flavor, but great portion and heavy on the seafood so that's a plus. Lo mein was very good. read more

I've been to this business before and now have mixed emotions. So why 4 stars, and not 5? Let's chat: Service was spectacular. I was seated quickly, and was never in need of anything. Ordered a Diet Coke, egg roll, and red curry beef with brown rice. The egg roll was fantastic and offered a side of fantastic spicy (horseradish I presume) mustard with duck sauce. No issues; was awesome. But, the red curry beef was, frankly, lackluster. The beef was very tender (probably marinated with baking soda to break it down) but the red curry sauce was boring. It lacked salt and fresh herbs such as thai basil or cilantro that would have immediately elevated it. I had the same dish earlier this year and it was different. read more

Our server was very friendly! We have been here a few times and the food is always delicious. It smells amazing and we enjoy being able to watch them cook with the open environment. Food came out quick even on a busy night. Highly recommend reservations. read more

Friendly service, good enough food, except the sushi was *terrible* quality/taste. Very disappointed in the sushi... Go somewhere else for sushi. We liked the peanut curry though and have ordered again since! read more

Stopped in on a Saturday for lunch with some friends. It was busy but the wait was only a few minutes. We were escorted to our table and looked around at the decor while we looked through our menus. I knew I was up for trying a few things after reading some other reviews. I ordered the spicy wontons and crab Rangoon for appetizers. A spider sushi roll to share with my husband. He ordered the orange chicken and I settled on pho for my main entree. The crab Rangoon was the first thing to arrive. Delicious!! I wish we would have ordered two servings. The sauce for dipping is divine. Seriously so good. The next to arrive was the sushi. It was good. Nothing over the top amazing. The wasabi was creamy and not overly hot which I enjoyed. I always love the fresh GINGER that comes with sushi. We got our spicy wontons just before our main entrees were served. Wish it had come just a bit sooner. My husband's first time trying it and he really like it. The taste was good. They fold them differently than I've had them at other restaurants which makes them challenging to eat without cutting them in half or making a mess. Otherwise good. I would order them again. The pho of course always needs the fixings that accompany it. They didn't serve jalapenos on the side which was surprising to me. It was good but I've had better. Something I wasn't sure about was the eating it. I think I'll go with something different the next time. Overall it was a great visit. Everyone enjoyed their food and we had a bit of leftovers to take home. read more

Not my favorite, noisy rushed A bus boy was ridiculed with in my ear shot. I see a lot of unprofessional actions because of expectations by customers and staff. I know it is one of the go to places in Wooster but not mine. Food is not authentic read more

Great addition to Wooster's downtown. Always good food and service, nice bar area. The only negative is that it can be loud inside as many hard surfaces, but that is understandable because of the construction of the building. read more

Terrible food, no flavor in the Korean soup or the pad se ew which both had mushy noodles. The server offered to replace the dish and I was still charged for everything and another (replacement) dish but he seemed so stoned I didn't even want to argue it. Cool environment but just not worth it. If you have to go get the fried shrimp app or Thai wontons those were ok. read more

We enjoy the thai curries, pho, salt and pepper shrimp or calamari and the sashimi. The service is sometimes erratic...our last visit we got our curry after we finished our other food...it was tasty ...the server was over extended with tables at noon on a Saturday...fyi they open at 11 am except Saturday at noon and closed Sunday/Monday. read more

First time here meeting friends for lunch. Kind of a trendy place, great modern, youthful vibe. We ordered a number of dishes from sushi to soups, apps and entrees. The wonton soup was good but could have been warmer. The Tom Yum soup was very flavorful and spicy!! The pan fried noodles (with pork) was excellent. Nicely prepared and a large portion. We also ordered the Satay chicken which was a bit different than any Satay I'd had before. Crispy on the outside almost like a tandoori chicken. Different but good. Other dishes included the Tuna Tataki, the pork lettuce wrap, and the Kani salad. Everything was delicious. Service was attentive, patient and unobtrusive. Will definitely return an recommend. read more

5 Star for service 3.5 stars for the food great curry's would go the chicken route over the beef here but just a great server with a great attitude really made this a great experience. Pad Thai was great with the shrimp and the pho was solid. read more

Stopped over at Basil Asian Bistro for lunch while going through town. Tom Yum soup was amazing. Very unique flavor compared to Tom yum I have had before. Lemon grass, chicken and amazing spicy level. Excellent service. Clean and welcoming interior. Excellent mode lighting. Good place for even a larger group. Spicy peanut curry is amazing and loaded with flavor so is the Pataya Curry. I highly recommend Basil Thai restaurant. They also have an amazing sushi selection. read more

Basil's is a chain or franchise which means you usually should get reasonable quality of food, ambiance and this fits that expectation. Where they fall off is service. Host was fine, seemed awkward, like he doesn't like people maybe? Our server had an edge, like she'd throw hands if you stepped out of line In any capacity. Remember waffle house Wendy? Yeah, I think she's here now. Kitchen is super slow, idk how anyone tries to come on their work lunch but maybe they don't? It's fine for what it is. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Good food and good service. Place is a little crowded and reservations are needed on the weekends.

What a delicious surprise this restaurant was!! Service was excellent and food came out so fast! Loved seeing the diversity of their staff and ambiance design. We ordered Tiger Roll, coconut spaghetti, and pineapple chicken!!! All fantastic and reasonable prices for the potions... we all have lunch for the next day. Would recommend for a great date night or family dinner together. Only thing is you have to find street parking or walk from public parking read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their food and the exceptional service we received at the restaurant. It is easy to think that since Wooster is a small town, that they won't have quality dining, but that is totally not the case. The food rivals some major cities and the prices are more affordable. We started with the Thai Rolls with came with 6 little crispy spring rolls chock full of meat and not just cabbage like most places. They were perfectly fried and delicious. I ordered Pan Fried noodles with shrimp for my meal and loved how the vegetables weren't cooked to mush. The sauce was perfect and not too salty. This dish reminded me of PF Chang's dish, but elevated. I had started with the Egg Drop soup to warm up and my only complaint was that it was not super hot, just lukewarm when served. Our server was excellent; very attentive and knowledgeable without hovering over us. read more

We came for dinner on Friday of a particularly busy weekend in Wooster--Homecoming. The reservations were spot-on and with all the challenges Covid has posed, the staff was on it. It appears they book what they can reasonably handle, which is admirable. Now for the food: really, really good!! Nice selection. We ordered the Potstickers & Crab Rangoons as appetizers. They didn't disappoint. The food is all very fresh and well prepared. The orders for our table included one of the sushi rolls & the Sashimi Sampler. Very good! Actually, we enjoyed everything. Special requests were spot on. We will definitely be back! read more

I've been to Basil a couple times for lunch when I happen to be in Wooster. It's a good spot for what they provide. Plenty of food at a good price. A wide variety of options for any person's interest in the cuisine. There is no possibility of extremely hot spices with this Thai cuisine as it is Wooster, Ohio but it still tastes good. Their menus are extremely large-sized which I find a little annoying for what they are as a restaurant but I suppose that doesn't really take away from the whole experience. Ultimately, it's a good place to go to if in downtown, feeling up for a filling meal and a nice conversation and not have to break the bank for that kind of experience. read more

Amazing food!! So nice to find a great Asian restaurant! Appetizers and meals were all wonderful, and the staff were all super friendly and efficient. Highly recommend. read more

When basil came to town I wasn't a huge fan. I didn't get much enthusiasm out of it and it just wasn't something to be excited over. We recently went back and had a great time. I think I do need to try a new dish because I wasn't a huge fan of the orange chicken. It was good, but could use a little more. I did however enjoy my sushi! California roll was out of this world! Delicious and satisfying! The service was good no issues there. It's a very nice restaurant but I just don't get the hype sometimes around it, read more

The food is good! However, the last time we went here, it was Woosters prom and we got right to our table, then waited 2 HOURS for our food. We sat right next to the kitchen, and watched as they piled plates on top of plates under the heat light. As we watched the host arguing with the chef and yelling, 9 plates crashed to the floor, piled with food. Me and my daughters plates were cold, while my other daughters were blazing hot. Very inconsistent. I understand that there was prom, but there really weren't that many prom people there. read more

This restaurant is located in downtown Wooster and I highly recommend eating here. We ate an early dinner which was good because as it got closer to 6 pm, the restaurant became more crowded. As soon as we walked through the door, we were greeted and a minute later, escorted to a table. Someone brought water and menus to our table. Shortly after that, our server took our appetizer order. This restaurant has super good apps. There are many unique ones to choose from. We had the Thai rolls, Crab Rangoon and lettuce wraps with chicken. The Thai rolls were my favorite. We also ordered entrees and the one I ordered was amazing. It was a dish made of chicken, rice noodles, Thai rolls, fresh veggies and topped with crushed peanuts. DELICIOUS! Our server was very attentive to us during our meal. We were also thanked for eating at Basil. Recommendation: if you want to eat here on the weekend, make reservations. The restaurant does take reservations, which I will utilize on my next visit here. read more

I'm not the one to typically complain I take things how they are in life as they are but putting your name down and giving you an estimated time and come in at that time just to have it doubled almost tripled is quite inconvenient it's almost seems they give your spot away right from underneath of you read more

Probably the best general chicken Ive had in Northeast Ohio, Nothing on area our area comes close (Akron Canton, Cleveland especially Wooster ). Hope they up the portions in keep their price. Anyways it's hard to go wrong at basil, It's clean, new and has good service I've had many different dishes all were great. Don't recommend the pho wasn't to parr with other local restaurants. Other than that it's fantastic. read more

Crab Rangoon is always good. Fresh sushi. Efficient and kind staff. Atmosphere makes for a nice meal out! read more

This is an awesome gem I stumbled across in Wooster while looking for a lunch spot. Inside, the interior looks like something you'd find in the trendy downtown section of a large city rather than rural Ohio. There was plenty of seating available even during the lunch hour with both table and booth seating. Service was great and fast; the server was attentive and brought drink refills when glasses got low without even being asked (a nice touch). The menu is quite large with sushi and rolls as well as Chinese and Thai offerings. Cocktails are available. I opted to start with an egg roll and then tried the chicken Pad See Ew. The egg roll had a crispy crunch and was slightly oily. Inside the filling was hot and contained both veggies and pork. The Pad See Ew was a huge portion for about $8 and was chock full of perfectly prepared chicken breast along with egg, veggies (including chunks of green pepper) and, of course, noodles. The noodles were perhaps just a bit on the soft side, but overall the dish was delicious. It was not heavily sauced or seasoned which really allowed you to taste the natural flavors of the individual ingredients. This was a surprisingly excellent restaurant tucked away in rural Ohio and well worth the visit! read more

We stopped in this restaurant for brunch while shopping in Wooster and enjoyed our meals. My husband ordered Spicy Chicken and I ordered Pad Thai, we also ordered their Spicy Thai Seafood Soup For Two, and wow, that bowl was huge, more like for four, and the soup was delicious! Everything we ordered was spot on, well prepared, and delicious. We also split a Blueberry Cobbler Cheesecake, and that too was yummy! We enjoyed. Recommend. Our little town of Wooster and all the shops and restaurants were hopping, by the way, hey! read more

Extremely surprised at how wonderful the food was. I've heard a lot about it but gave it a try tonight. The calamari was one of the most delicious things I've eaten in a very long time. To my disbelief they had Pho as well. Definitely my new go-to dinner spot. My waitress was extremely friendly and helpful. *This review is from Facebook that I made 9 months ago but thought it should be on Yelp as well.* read more

One of the BEST papaya salads I've ever had. Not only was it a good price for the large portion (I can't stand when Thai restaurants skimp you on the papaya shreds) but the ingredients was so crisp and fresh and the flavor was so refreshing and addicting!!! read more

Basil is a really pleasant place to eat. My food is always really good. I crave the Tom Yum soup and the Egg rolls on the regular. I've never had a bad rice dish yet. Good stuff. read more

Stopped in around 4:30pm for an early dinner with the girls. I had the Crunch Roll and it was absolutely delicious. The egg drop soup unfortunately did not contain any bamboo or tofu, which was disappointing. The waitress was slow and disappeared for long periods of time, but everyone at the table loved her food and the drinks hit the spot. I usually go to the Canton location but this Wooster location did not disappoint (except for the soup). Please start making the spicy peanut butter ice cream again!! read more

We love to go to Basil for their smoking martinis! They did not disappoint. We were a group of 13. We had a reservation, and were shown to our table immediately. Our server did a great job of bringing everything out at the same time and to the right person. The food was well-prepared, with veggies in my Siam curry perfectly crisp-tender. Servings are large. Only slight negative is the place is really noisy. Otherwise, a fun and happy evening. read more

Food was excellent!! Service great. We were there at lunchtime, crowded and loud. Will go again but after lunch! Loved loved the egg rolla

One of my favorite Asian restaurants. We order the ty spring rolls every time we visit.

The best food in Wooster! The avocado curry with chicken is amazing!! Also can't forget the crunch roll!
