Deciding on dinner is always difficult for me. Do I prepare a meal with the just-purchased ingredients in my fridge or do I pick up something near home? Oftentimes, I get out of work so late, I'm in no mood to do anything but stuff my face. That's where Basil Bowl comes in. It's new to the neighborhood, taking over a Sy Thai to-go location. Sad. However, it is a fine replacement. This place offers ramen, pho, and Thai so I knew I would find something I would love. At first, I considered the Pad Thai, my go-to at Thai places. However, as soon as I spotted the Pineapple Curry Ramen, decision made. And to top that off, I selected the roasted duck, my favorite protein. That is not to say that I wasn't tempted by the beef and pork pho, pad se ew, or any of the curries. Next time, I promised myself. While waiting for my meal, I noted the light coming into the building from two walls of windows, the bright, lime green walls and fluorescent orange chairs, and the wood furnishings and accents. The restaurant is not large, but there were more than enough seats for the dine-in customers. About half of the people coming in placed to-go orders. To start, I had the crab rangoon and the spring rolls. The former was mostly cream cheese and not the perfect balance of crab and cheese I usually prefer. It should have been called cheese rangoons. However, the spring rolls were satisfyingly crispy with a flavorful filling. I have my eye on the gyoza or the bang bang shrimp the next time I'm here. Moving on, the ramen included pineapple chunks, of course, but also red and green bell peppers, chili peppers, tomatoes, and onions. The noodles were tender, chewy, and delicious in a spicy and creamy broth. The roasted duck was lovely. I would have loved more of it. The portions are nicely sized so I had more than enough to take home for another meal. Although this is a casual dining restaurant (think Panera), the staff was helpful and kind.
First time trying this place. Nice clean decor. Extensive menu with lots of vegetarian options. Lunch special also available. Prices are not cheap per say but portions are big. The guy at the counter was also a cook. A bit grumpy may be having a bad day Ordered Pad Thai with chicken medium spice was not too hot but enough heat. Also a Bang Bang shrimp as an appetizer. Good amount of shrimp it was lightly battered and crispy. Solid food for a quick bite or a carry out.
This is my second time at Basil Bowl, thought I would try something different. When you walk in it is very bright because of the floor to ceiling windows with a very nicely painted white feature wall. You order at a fast food style counter with a menu above, which is pretty common now. Since it was raining out a spicy Ramen sounded great, so I ordered the Tom Kha Ramen with chicken and a side order of spring rolls. The woman behind the counter gave me a cup and told me to pick a table. Just a couple minutes after sitting down my spring rolls arrived piping hot with a traditional sweet Thai dipping sauce. They were pretty average spring rolls, not the best I have had, but not bad by any means. About a minute or two later my Tom Kha ramen bowl shows up looking very inviting. At first glance I was excited because the broth has the traditional red hot and sour looking broth. I dove right in and to my disappointment not hot (spicy) or sour, with the exception of the lime I squeezed in. The noodles were chewy, but clumped at the bottom and seemed packaged. The chicken was pretty good, but it is hard to screw up sliced chicken in soup. I did not finish my bowl, which is highly unlike me. Overall, I will say the place has good aesthetics. I had a curry dish last time that was good, but would not get the ramen again. Service was fine, but I left pretty bummed about the ramen. Thai food and ramen are two of my favorites and I had higher hopes. For $22 I hoped for a little bit better. I may give them a try in the future, but definitely not going out of my way to stop back.
Great and easy order at the counter place. Pad thai was solid!! Very fast service. Seating is kind of limited so that's something to keep in mind!
I wanted to like this restaurant but it was just so-so. This is a fast casual place where you order at the counter and they bring your food out to the table. My friends were only meh about what they ordered, Basil fried rice (bland) but very large portion! She took most of it home (to add a bunch more spices etc). The Pad Thai with chicken was also pretty bland. I ordered the Tom Yum Ramen, it was kind of sweet and not as flavorful as I expected. The chicken was super dry but the noodles were okay. One unique thing is that the restaurant sells Thai(?) snacks (i saw a bag of chips?) and maybe drinks that I haven't seen other places. The restaurant was pretty clean and busy so I'm glad others might enjoy it but this is a pass for me.
Dined in for dinner and had a pretty good experience. The interior was simple, cute, and organized. Once we placed our order, our food came out fairly quickly. I love that they have to go containers near the pop machine, along with extra utensils. The drunken noodle was okay. A bit oily at the bottom of the bowl, but the portion was huge. We also got the basil fried rice, which was okay. Definitely will come back to try the pho and/or ramen.... and the Thai tea!

Let me start by saying, THIS FOOD HAS NO REASON BEING THIS GOOD!!! Growing up our families owned Thai restaurants so I'm very particular about my Thai (Asian food in general). This tasted like home. I think the best feature for myself is that the curries are made with half and half and not coconut milk. I'm allergic to coconut so it was always hard having others Thai food. The pineapple curry was so yummy. It was full of flavor and very filling. The spring rolls were full of filling and not just wrap. The sweet chili fried rice was also a good sweet and spicy. Next time I'm going to try the pho because I seen it on someone else's table and it smelt so good. The setting of the restaurant is very quaint and nice. Not too big, but not small. A perfect spot to sit and have lunch if you want some. The prices are very reasonable for the area. I think they have some of the best prices if I'm being honest. Everything is quality and they are halal certified as well. The service, cannot forget that, was amazing too. The person at the counter really helps you with ordering if you're new to this type of food or confused of what to eat today! Please support this business, I promise you'll love it! read more
We were 3+1 kid for lunch after we finished Costco Shopping. (We aren't frequent Costco shoppers) I got Masammon Curry with Tofu - forgot to take a picture but loved the taste of it. We also got curry fried rice & pineapple curry ramen. We started with Veggie Spring Rolls! The service was fast here and taste was good! Place is well kept and clean. It's setup like a fast food place - typical size of a subway but nicer version! read more
The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The establishment was very clean! I have to say that the staff was very patient as we worked our way through the menu. I was so excited that they had ample vegan dishes. I asked it for the curry dish with fried tofu just make sure you note that you do not want egg. Overall, the service was incredible and I'll definitely be checking out this establishment again. read more

Two small pieces of broccol. Lots of drenched salty noddles. I didn't see any egg. Disappointing meal. Wide noodles, shrimp, chicken and shrimp. read more
