Drove to Livermore for this place only because it's halal... personally I'd rather eat pescatarian/vegetarian options at a local Thai/fusion-Asian restaurant than return here. The fried garlic fish was possibly one of the worst fried items I've ever eaten in my life... you could taste the frozenness and double-fried oiliness on the fish everything else was under seasoned and bland. Giving this place the a star for cleanliness and another for the friendly and useful staff/service. read more

Whenever my work sends me to the Livermore plant to do IT work, I walk from my Hotel and come here for dinner. The waitresses are always friendly and make an effort to ensure that I am enjoying my meal. Their Green Curry (while they never make it spicy enough) is one of the best Green Curries I have ever had. It is filled with a generous portion fresh veggies that are perfectly cooked. I have never had a Green Curry with such a generous serving of veggies, it definitely places their curry into a higher caliber of curry. Moreover, their curry is not oily. The flavors are spot on. I love this dish so much, that this is my primary restaurant when I'm in Livermore for work. I also enjoy their Roti bread, perfectly cooked Roti with a cucumber salad and sauces. I also appreciate the size of their vegetarian menu, it has a good selection of dishes. Only negative is that they do not serve alcohol and I love plum wine with my Thai dishes. They also do not have drunken noodle which is my all time favorite Thai Dish. 100% recommend Basil Delight. read more

My absolute favorite Thai spot! We order takeout from here regularly and it's always consistent. We've tried the Satay Chicken, Pad Thai, Green Curry, Red Curry, Basil Fried Rice, and Pineapple Fried Rice and they are all delicious. Highly recommend getting an extra order of rice if you get a curry! read more

My dad was craving Thai food all day so we stopped by for the first time after shopping at the outlets. The server was quick to take our order and also provided us with everything we needed in a timely manner. The food also didn't take too long to come out. We only waited ten minutes max! Plus, it helped that it was delicious and perfectly cooked. The spice in the green beans was just enough to get flavor without burning my tongue. The glass noodle soup was also very good and the addition of the peas and carrots gave it a nice sweetness. We ordered the crab meat fried rice as well and it was really yummy. I love that the crab didn't overpower the rest of the dish. My family is definitely coming back to try this restaurant again in the near future. read more

Honest rating was 3.5 stars. My coworker and I got there around 1:20pm on a Monday. We got seated immediately and service was pretty quick. I ordered a Malaysian noodle dish and my coworker got Pad Thai. We also got thai tea. The foods were just okay. The Pad Thai was super good! It's the first pad Thai I really really liked! The Malaysian noodle dish wasn't good.. it tasted kind of like rotten food so I didn't eat too much of it. I only had one bite of it. The Thai tea was super good too! The tea wasn't too strong and it wasn't too sweet, perfect balance! Service was pretty good! They gave us free soup since we wanted noodles but the lunch menu didn't give that option. It was nice of them. Would definitely come back for the pad Thai and the Thai tea! read more

This was our first time trying this place out and our last. We were really disappointed with the unfriendly service, the bug in our Tom Kha soup and they went on to charge us for the soup and applied a 20% gratuity to our bill. We did ask they remove the charge for the soup and the gratuity, for which they did. read more

I love this place for its soup. Tom kha is delicious. The service is pretty quick. I liked their basil fried rice too. Ambiance is like any local Thai joint. Nothing fancy. read more

I usually love this restaurant and it is always a go to for me when I want to eat out. Today I came with my family and we ordered $70 worth of food. We left a 15% tip and we finished our meal and I had walked out the restaurant. My dad went in and asked for a fortune cookie and the waitress took out a different receipt with a $4 tip on it and stared at my dad. He asked "are you okay?" And she said "yeah I'm okay are you okay?" We were so confused at her rudeness and did not know what to say. The waitress confused us with another customer and was extremely rude. First of all even if we left a $4 tip that gives you no right to be rude, but that wasn't even us! Terrible service. Its a shame because this is one of my favorite restaurants read more

Closing hours are listed as 9PM, we got there at 8PM and were told we couldn't sit down and it was take out only. Please fix your signs.

Whenever I see an eatery or a restaurant or a cafe or even a tearoom with Malaysian food, it's a place I'll go and try at least once. Born and raised in Malaysia, I know what authentic Malaysian food is especially when my taste buds are primed every other year when I visit Malaysia. We had their: 1) Penang nasi lemak - not sure what's penang about it but definitely not authentic. Rice was not how nasi lemak should be as it was in the consistency of sticky rice and greenish. The rendang was more like panang curry (Thai curry). So this is definitely a downer. Hence the one star less from 5. 2) Curry laksa noodles - their curry laksa is consistent with penang assam laksa. It was delicious and flavorful. Definitely something I would go back for. 3) Chow kuay teow - tasty and fried well as that's how chow kuay teow should be. However, it was sweeter than it ought to be which makes it more like pad see eew. For American taste buds, this might be ok but can't fool a Malaysian. This also is a one star less from rating. Overall, the only thing I like is their curry laksa. So the verdict is undecided as to whether I'll be back here at the moment - unless I'm craving for Assam laksa. read more

Just had food with my family here. We found a cockroach in the Indian Mee Goreng while eating! We brought it to their attention and they said sorry and took the plate away. We decided to stop eating and we're going to go. They asked us to pay for the food without flinching and didn't even comp the meal. Definitely not going to this place anymore! read more

Basil Delight 2709 Stoneridge Drive, #101, Pleasanton, CA 94588 (In the Pacific Pearl Center across the street from San Francisco Outlets) 09/25/2021 I must be in a Malaysian, Thai, Vietnamese food mode, mood and status lately. (Previous reviews). *Located in the Pacific Pearl Center. Weekends at this Shopping Center is super crazy busy. Patience is a virtue when it comes to finding a parking. We beat the late lunch crowd. Shortly after we arrived all the tables were filled. *Bathroom is very well cleaned. The staff were courteous and helpful with recommending dishes. *Their menus are very extensive and detailed. Aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. I love menus with pictures of their dishes. I've noticed Thai, Malaysian and Vietnamese menus are known for aesthetically pleasing menus. ** A3 Roti & Kari (not pictured). This time the tummy eat first not the camera. ** E5 Rendang Beef. **R5 Pineapple Fried Rice-Combo. ** N6 Pad Thai-Combo. ** Thai Tea. My only gripe (thus the 4 stars rating) about this place is that I am not sure if it's my sensitivity to high sodium dishes but later that evening I was drinking water bottle back to back to back and to back. Service was on point. Overall, I recommend this place. read more

This is my go-to spot. Food is consistently excellent. And I've pretty much tried everything on the menu now, literally everything tastes amazing, from the apps to the mains. This is a place I will always frequent, and I drive 30+ minutes out of my way to go here. You will not regret eating here. read more

Solid spot for Thai/Malaysian food in Dublin - probably my go to! PAD THAI -I loved that it was saucy because usually that is what I am most picky about with Pad Thai (not having enough sauce and being dry) PAD KEE MAO -Good texture and flavor GREEN CURRY -This was just decent could have a little more depth but still ok Pad Thai and Pad Kee Mao are definitely my go to dishes here, but definitely overall their items are super yummy and have become a popular place around here :) read more

We were meeting friends at 11am and this was one of a few restaurants that were opened at 11am at Pacific Pearl Shopping center. We always go to Thai Basil in Dublin for Thai food.

Basil Delight - Thai Near Me - Pleasanton, California

The place is always clean. The services is pretty decent and the location is easy to get to and park. The food is above average, but nothing excellent as far as Thai food is concerned I go there mainly because they have Halal meats, which makes it worthwhile an occasional visit read more

Tasty food, good service. Very fast. Plenty of food. Had half of the food for the next meal.

Price is very reasonable, $14 pad thai has shrimp and chicken. However the taste is a bit off, it tastes sweet. Unsure if the chef add ketchup to it. For the curry chicken, the meat is dry and the potato is not fully cooked. The lady server is very nice though. I think this is the last time I visited. read more

We were so excited to try this place especially that its halal. Upon entering it took forever to get someone to help us and take our order. Waitresses were so rude and unhelpful. When the food arrived it looked good but lacked in flavor so much. So disappointed and won't be going back. read more

I called on Friday evening to place a pick up order. I ordered Penang nasi lemak, mee goreng mamak, and kampoeng cashew with chicken. Right at 20 minutes mark that they estimated me, I arrived at the restaurant and my food was ready. The nasi lemak was delicious! The rendang beef was tender and had lots of meat. It tastes a bit sweeter than usual rendang that I had before but it still taste good. The nasi lemak comes with coconut rice (that was fluffy and delicious!), boiled egg, roasted peanut & anchovies, and pickled cucumber. The only thing that was missing is the sambal - not sure why they didn't include it in the menu but for me, the sambal is what make nasi lemak taste complete. I also love the mee goreng mamak. The flavor was pretty authentic and hearty - just like the one I had in Singapore. The kampoeng cashew was good too but the sauce was spilled all over my trunk so I only tasted a wee bit of the good sauce. Overall, the food & portion were good. I'll definitely come back to try other menu when I'm in the area. read more

This place deserves a two stars because the food is good. As far as being halal 100% I don't think so, the employees and owner can't even understand the simple Islamic hello (Salam) I ask them if they are Muslim and they didn't understand. So how do we know if pork is being cooked in the back kitchen, any pork has been cooked or warmed up in the kitchen will disqualify from being anything halal. I feel like they have that sign up just to gain interest since majority of the people in that area are Muslims or Indians. When you go to any halal restaurant someone in that restaurant who is working will be a Muslim and knowing that simply makes you feel better that you are having food that follows the Islamic rules, not just the killing but how the food is cooked and treated, how clean the cooks hands are. You can't scratch a hair in your body without washing before touching the food or else it's not halal. read more

We ordered Thai fried rice, Penang chow ho-fun, and pad Thai and were very disappointed. The fried rice was bland and tasted like white rice, the Ho-fun was way too salty. The pad Thai was not authentic and tasted weird (the sauce tasted like ketchup). On top of that, the service staff was rude and not helpful at all. I don't usually leave yelp review, suffice to say that we won't be going back to this restaurant. read more

They never miss! I've been here over 30 times, and the food has always been consistently delicious. The service is reliably good, but the ambiance is a bit dull and could use a little refresh. read more

First time trying out Basil Delight yesterday, and it won't be the last time we go. The seating area was nice and comfy, service was attentive and friendly, and food was really good. We ordered the pad kee mow and pla rad prik. Both dishes were cooked well and seasoned nicely. I loved the pla rad prik aka deep fried fish filets in a chili garlic lime sauce. That fish over a bed of rice was so good! We've been back a few times now and Basil Delight is consistently good. read more

Loveee their Pad Kee Mow (the Drunken Noodles)!! Ordered on DoorDash multiple times and have also ordered for pick up! The quality is consistent and always so flavorful. Even with DoorDash the food was still hot. I ordered the Thai Spicy for spiciness level last time and honestly thought it wasn't too spicy and hope there was a little more heat to it. The crab meat and shrimp fried rice is also great!! It could be a little oily/greasy but honestly I don't rly mind because I love the flavor(same w/ the drunken noodles) read more

Food is great, and portion size is pretty good. However, the lady server with the longer hair is quite judmental and rude. From the second I walked in, up to almost leaving. When she came to get our order, she was already showing attitude. When it was time to pay for our food, she took my card to the counter came back a few minutes later and asked if I had another card because she said she tried multiple times and it was declined. She said to check if I had enough fund in my card because it might be insufficient fund. I checked my online banking service and the transactions showed that she charged my card multiple times. Ofc. After a few times, im sure my bank rejected it. I called her coworker over and showed her the transactions on my card. Per receipt, the server's name is Chariya. WORST SERVICE EVER. read more

I came here for lunch on Friday, we had heard about this place from a few friends and relatives and they had pretty good recommendations. They have a lunch special menu here, and also a wide variety of noodles, rice, curry, and wok fried dishes. They were pretty packed despite the smoggy weather, and after we sat down the restaurant started becoming pretty full. I wasn't too sure what to order because I didn't spend enough time on yelp beforehand, so ended up ordering the penang nasi lemak which was the 1st option on the lunch menu, the spicy wings, and the glass noodle soup with shrimp and chicken. The glass noodle soup came out first, it was a very large portion but it didn't have much substantiating items in it. I felt very full of liquid after drinking most of it. This was my first time trying penang nasi lemak, and I was so happily surprised. The curry was sweet and a little spicy, and tasted so delicious with the coconut rice. The portion was large enough that I could only eat half. The spicy wings weren't breaded, but the sauce tasted pretty similar to other spicy / sweet wings I have had at other southeast asian restaurants. The food all came out super quickly, less than 15 minutes for all the food items total. I will be back again and want to try their basil fried rice, green curry, and the roti with curry peanut sauce. read more

I almost don't want to spread the news about this new complex with a bunch of restaurants (mostly Asian), 85C Bakery, and Ranch 99 because I don't want it to get crowded. The food at this restaurant was better than I expected. Main dishes: *Fried squid with Spinach - squid was very tender and well-fried, but why put it on a bed of raw spinach?? I'd rather have blanched spinach instead. It was weird to me. I couldn't tell from reading the menu that the spinach was raw. *Singapore Noodle with Tofu - came with a lot of vegetables and fried bean curd, which I enjoyed *Beef Rendang (beef was tender, but the sauce tasted more tomato-y than the versions I've had in Indonesia and Malaysia) *Green curry with chicken - flavorful with spiciness that hit the tongue after several bites. Chicken was not dry. Appetizers: -Roti with curry sauce (appeared to be store-bought frozen roti), do not recommend -Fried fish cake with peanut dipping sauce, large portion, not too impressive Overall, good food and generous portions, great value. Service is similar to what you expect at a Chinese restaurant, though food came out quickly. read more

The food is sooo good! I had went to a another Thai restaurant the day before and this place tops it by 10thousand. The servers (two ladies I believe) were extremely nice and attentive. The place is clean and cool. Came on a really hot day! I definitely plan on coming here again! Also if you are scared to try something because you usually don't like it, TRY IT! I was scared to try the Pra Rad Prik because I hate the taste of cooked fish BUT MY GOD, I had completely forgotten about the noodles lol. read more

I've both Doordashed, taken out, and eaten in at the restaurant quite a number of times, and each time the flavors are great. I always get green curry, pad thai or pad kee mow, and rendang beef. Curry is fragrant, pad thai has just the right amount of sweetness, pad kee mow just the right amount of spicy, and the sauce that comes with the beef is savory and hits the spot. read more

Basil Delight is one of our take out staples (we order from here at least once a month!). The food never disappoints! So much flavoring, reasonable prices/portions, and on top of that it's halal! We usually call beforehand and place our order. Whoever picks up the phone is always so friendly and offers recommendations. They also give a time frame of when the food will be ready which is always accurate. Pick up is easy and Covid friendly :) Our personal favorite is their laksa - the curry is delicious and with all the meat/noodles, it's very filling and such a unique dish! We have also like their green curry, pad thai, and basil eggplant. Honestly, you can never go wrong with anything you order! Highly recommend and thankful we have found our go to Thai/Malaysian spot! read more

I was skeptical at first about the food here after reading some reviews. The food was blah and rather bland. The spicy wings had no spice at all. The red curry was really watery and was more like soup. The noodles were decent. The eggplant was one of the most blandest dish of everything. Service was ok and not that attentive. Only good thing is plenty of parking. read more

It's a 3-Star. A Meh, everything is very average and nothing special. From food to service, from taste to comfort... it's just okay. Food is 2-star, just not very good. But at the same time, not bad either other than everything is a tad too salty. Service is similarly as blah. They are rushed and not too friendly, but not rude either. We were excited to try this new restaurant and the entire dining experience leaves one wanting more. More of everything... more flavors, more service, more spices, more ... Tod Mun - Fish cake were very blah, a bit too salty. And taste just like the frozen ones in Asian stores that you would reheat. So it's definitely not their home made version. Tom Kha - Coconut based soup w chicken. Taste is off. Too Salty. Chicken pieces were a bit rough. While the soup was presented in the traditional thai soup bowl, there was no fire to keep the soup hot. a little disappointed as I always liked how the soup was kept hot while I sip the soup throughout the meal. Basil chicken - The exact same chicken pieces were used in this dish as compared to the soup. A bit rough. The cooking seemed sloppy with sauces and basil just slapped together. Again, a bit too salty but better seasoning for this dish. I don't like restaurants where they indicate: $1 extra for brown rice dishes comes with "standard meat chicken" and $1 extra for beef, $1 for pork, $3 for shrimp, etc... I just feel nickled and dimed. Overall, food taste is overpowered with salt, lacks any sophistication or spices and flavors. The overall meal was okay. read more

Basil Delight is Thai Basil's expansion one exit east on the 580. The menu is essentially the same with some new curry items and higher prices. The dinning room is bigger with larger tables and more seats. We Lund up ordering our go to favorites Pad Thai noodles Basil Chili seafood Larb Pretty much the dishes are identical is portions and taste. The presentation is a little different with the larger dishes. This restaurant can allow the use of larger plates because the tables are larger.

Never in my 59 years of life had I been kicked out of a restaurant because someone was waiting for a table. They didn't even let me finish the glass of water I had with me. After spending $70.00 between my wife and I, it is the worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant read more

The Tri-Valley area seems to be booming in terms of Thai restaurants as of late. Danville's Similan Thai recently opened up Andaman Thai in San Ramon. Now, the owners of Thai Basil Express in Dublin Ulferts opened up Basil Delight in the spanking-new Pacific Pearl mall in Pleasanton. This restaurant is slightly larger than Thai Basil Express, and boasts a menu of both Thai and Malaysian cuisine. We had an excellent dinner here. Food came out real fast, and very good quality and reasonable prices - before tip is was just under $30 for two entrees. The Mixed Veggie plate is one of our favorites - sautéed Gai Lan, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, and cucumber with a light sauce drizzle that give distinctive Thai flavors with that fish sauce. This entree includes a full bowl of white rice and added chicken at no charge. The wife pondered whether you get more veggies if we decline the chicken - because for this dish we will definitely do that! The Thai Catfish is lighted breaded and pan-fried with a light chili-basil sauce. It comes with generous portions of basil eggplant too. The fish was initially crispy outside and soft and flaky inside. You should eat this dish quickly since it will eventually get soggy of you let it sit in all the sauce. The dish would be better with less sauce or perhaps next time, sauce on the side! The brown rice I got was surprisingly good - like a nice barley rice that was even softer than the white rice (smh). Will definitely com back to try their curries (they call them Kari here). read more
