    We always get Chinese food for Christmas Eve but this year we decided to change it up a little and order Thai. This little gem of a restaurant is EXCELLENT!!!! Honestly, from calling in our to go order to one of the nicest ladies ever, picking it up at such a nice and clean dining room to getting it home. We ordered the Siam Rolls, Spicy Edamame, Chicken Pad Thai and Panang Curry Duck. Everything we ordered was a 10/10. It looks to be a husband/wife team. We didn't see any other employees. We ordered from the previous Thai restaurant that used to be here and was quit unimpressed. Basil Leaf is the real deal. If you like Thai food, you will love this place. We will 100% be back. Delicious!!!

    The service is great and fast. The waitress was very attentive we didn't have to look for her. The food was brought out quickly after ordering. The ambience is casual dining.

    Nice sit down Thai restaurant. Pretty large dining room but…read morethere were always some seats available, even though it was fairly busy on a Tuesday night. Two page menu gave plenty of options, but it wasn't overkill like many Chinese food menus. Red curry w/ jasmine rice I ordered the Pineapple fried rice, which was delicious, w/ chicken veggies & curry & a zero spice level. Others tried: Vegetable stir fry w/ white Jasmine rice on side (spice level 1) & Yellow curry veggie (delish) with rice on side (spice level 2), & Red Curry veggie w/ rice (level 3/5). It was nice you can pick level of spice on any dish. The level 2&3 was too much for me, 1 woulda been perfect. Servers were very polite & very much on it. We sat over 2 hrs & they refilled drinks the whole time. The prices were probably in range w/ other Thai places but a tad high ($16 for ours) if I compare to a fast casual Mexican or Chinese which give just as much portion.

    I cannot say enough about this place. I've been driving by…read morethis location for years and telling myself that I would stop in today I finally did. I took the recommendation of our server on dish and chose a nice spicy curry and was not disappointed. While it was not as spicy as I would have hoped, he told me how to order it hotter the next time. The flavor combinations and the depth of flavor was so amazing. Are crab Rangoon has outdone every other crab Rangoon I've ever had. At this point, I could name other places where I thought their crab Rangoon was amazing... And at this point they no longer even hold a candle. A nice hearty crab chunks mixed in with the cream cheese sauce and filling, and it's just to die for. The dessert of the sticky rice with mango was sweet and thick and filling and just rich beyond description. The lighting is soft and easy in the eyes, the colors on the walls are pleasant and pink and oranges and brown purples, sounds a pleasant to listen to everybody cooking in the music, while faster and hip-hop was not distracting. I quite enjoyed listening to it, listening to Thailand versions of American hits. It was quite an enjoyable experience all around. We look forward to coming back.

It is also open on Mondays unlike many other restaurants in the area. The restaurant has a very cute mural outside. Inside it's very colorful and has cute Thai art on the walls. It's definitely a place that looks authentic. I read the menu while inside and it had so many choices including cocktails and many food options. Many choices for any taste! I was really looking forward to trying Thai food here. Unfortunately, I ended up walking in and out due to disappointing service or the lack thereof. When I walked in (almost at 7 PM), there was a long line of diners that were not acknowledged. They were confused and asking each other where to wait and who will take their table reservation. It was very unclear where the hostess is, where to pick up orders, or wait for a table. The restaurant is very small and was overpacked on a Monday night. I had to wait an extremely long time right in front of the hostess to be acknowledged. The wait time for a table was 45 minutes to 1 hour. The wait for to go order was also 45 minutes. I would probably wait but it was scorching hot inside despite it being it being the 70's outside. I was hoping that the service would be more attentive. My suggestion to anyone visiting is to figure out a time when they're not busy. The food is probably very good, but get ready for not so good service and extended waits.

    The food is great for anyone looking to explore northern Thai cuisine. While it's a bit of a trek…read morefrom Cleveland proper, they serve dishes from northern Thailand so it's something different from the typical South Thai-style food. As someone who has visited Thailand and is familiar with Southeast Asian flavors, I found that the dishes here leaned much sweeter than how it's traditionally made, but they were still good. We tried the Boat Noodles and Khao Soi, both very flavorful. The portions are good but I find that both needed much more broth. It's a cute space, plus great cocktail and mocktail options

I walked in at 3:30 and of course the place is empty, Zoweee, all for me. They didn't notice me for the first two or three minutes and I guess they didn't hear all the bells that were ringing on the door either. But I was eventually greeted warmly, sat down immediately, given an ice cold perfect glass of water. I ordered the Summer Rolls appetizer which I always order by mistake cause I like the spring rolls which are fried little fingers of goodness. But the summer rolls came out in 45 seconds and they were just beautifully presented like always. They had plenty of noodles, Julienne vegetables and just enough cucumber pieces and shrimp pieces to get noticed. The description said basil mint, of which I did not see or taste. But plenty of hoisin sauce for drizzling. Then came the entree, Mango Paradise which was chicken pieces, three medium shrimp, a bevy of red bell peppers, green, bell peppers, snow pea pods, Julienne carrots, and I believe straw mushrooms all in a brown sauce that I shared with white jasmine rice. Absolutely delicious and it was served piping hot. Those of you that read me often know I am so tired of sending food back because it's cold, but the appetizer that was supposed to be cold came out cold and my entrée which was supposed to come out hot came out piping hot. I haven't been to this place in a while and usually I go for lunch so this was a new choice for me to dine. I was served the appetizer first, they didn't rush me, the entrée came out precisely as I finished the appetizer and then of course there was so much on that plate, I eventually got a Thai to go bag. From start to finish, this was a raving experience, and I mean that in the best of ways because I could rave on and on about every single bite I took. Anytime I've been there has not been a whole lot of people there and I don't get to Strongsville often. I certainly do hope if you like, if you LOVE Thai food , give this place a shot the very first second you have to spare. DON'T LET THE TEENY TINY PARKING LOT SCARE YOU ---it's beautiful inside it's authentic, the servers and the chef who brings out your food are authentic and they can cook for me anytime. If there was more than five stars to give, they would get a 10 star from me.

    Rude staff; I can get past that. What I can't handle is the how dirty this place is…read more The carpet in this restaurant looks like something out of a food network disaster series.

All warned of the spice levels being REAL. I heeded caution while my mouth is not weak. A must, I got pad thai with chicken (any thai place that messes this up gets written off for me), pad woon sen with chicken, both at the base level spice, and their crab rangoon. I will preface that I did takeout and drove 20 mins home before I ate BUT considering that the food, the food was still hot and delicious. The pad thai had plenty of flavor, fresh veggies and green onions and the right sauce-you could taste the tamarind. The pad woon sen, while not what I'm used to with a darker sauce was delicious and had great spice, perfect sauce to coat all the goods and flavor. The crab rangoon comes in a spring roll form...which I'm not mad at but did make me want more filling to match the extra wrapper. The wrapper is also a different type of fried crunch that doesn't do the same as a wonton but again a vehicle, nonetheless. I definitely have it on my radar for the next time I'm in Strongsville. Small place in an unsuspecting plaza, which is always good, very little tables inside and a little on the dark side ambiance wise. But I don't care when the food lives up to it. If you're looking for flavor, you can't go wrong even on the mild end of the spice spectrum. Don't burn your mouth and miss the chance at tasting the authenticity.

She shared some of her stories and we just loved our time here! We started off with the crispy pork egg rolls! They were in fact perfectly crispy and delicious! The dipping sauce completed it!!! For dinner we enjoyed the hot & spicy basil stir fry AND the seafood choo chee curry! It was actually a good amount of food to share and even have some left overs! It was hard to pick favorite because they were both DELICIOUS!!!!! The choo chee curry is made with coconut milk and all the flavors blended SO WELL!!!!! On the other hand the spicy basil stir fry tasted so fresh and good as well!! I would definitely recommend trying this place for great Thai food - they actually also offer Vietnamese food too!!! I can't wait to come back and try more... like their boba tea/milks!!! See you all very soon!

I wanted to keep it light, so I order 2 appetizers, Satay Chicken and Fresh Shrimp spring rolls. The order was ready & delivered way ahead of the scheduled time and the driver (Dwayne) was friendly & professional. Anyway, the food was wrapped & boxed well. The satay chicken was cooked and seasoned properly and the sauces were the typical pickled veggies and slightly sweet and the peanut sauce tasted good. While the rolls were fresh, they were a bit smaller than I've seen from other establishments.
