Our go-to Thai place! The food is absolutely delicious and so fresh! I love trying new dishes every time. The girls are so sweet and helpful and friendly. The place might look small but it holds a good amount of people. The restrooms are clean, the atmosphere is great. We were just there for date night on a busy night and we had such a lovely time. Can't wait to try more of it! read more

Our group of five went there and we had an excellent meal. The Chef sent our party an amuse bouche of fried pork with spicy sauce. It was delicious. Normally when we eat out we bring some stuff back in takeout boxes, but this is the first time everyone finished their plates. The service and food quality was excellent. Good food takes time to make so don't come if you are in a rush. Besides the tip, I will also leave a Spidey Good Job card, and she came back with a little Spidey doodle. They seem to like what they are doing. Good company, good times and good food. Thanks. read more

Ambiance : this place is very quaint and small but perfect for intimate conversations. Very clean and I love the color scheme it definitely adds to what they serve Service: I love the staff soon as you walk in they knew how to address you and the waitresses were very knowledgeable and the food they were able to recommend options and they were courteous to keep checking on us throughout our stay Food: now the food is amazing and very flavorful they didn't miss a beat on the seasonings I eat Thai food very often so it was very pleasing to come to this place and taste real authentic Thai food.

This place blew our minds with how amazing the food was. We tried the brussel sprout salad and chicken satay to start and were amazed. The brussel sprouts are a must try- they are crispy with a soy vinaigrette. The entrees were even better and the portions were huge. The staff was so friendly and even brought us a complimentary dish to try. 10/10 food and ambiance. We will be driving back from Lancaster for date night!!! read more

Their food is AMAZING! Best Thai we've had in the area. Flavors are robust and delicious! We've tried multiple dishes and they are all excellent. The Brulee dessert was absolutely fantastic! read more

Ordered to go. Extremely greasy/oily. Made me ill with bad stomach cramps etc. Won't mention the rest. I returned 3/4 off the meal, calmy and politely explained the issue and asked to be refunded. The owner not only refused but was super rude and accusatory. Will never return and highly recommend against. Do your family a solid and dine elsewhere. read more

I can't say enough about this place. We've been coming here for about 6 months and it very quickly became my favorite Thai restaurant. First the food is phenomenal. Every dish is freshly prepared and tastes wonderful. The chef is truly a master! Next, the service is perfect. They are attentive and always make us feel welcome. It feels like a family business, and they have true pride in their restaurant. It's a small place and the ambiance is casual, but nice enough for a date night (or in my case, birthday!). If you love Thai food, you have to check this place out! read more

Ah! We went again and I can't believe this place isn't more busy. Got the drunken noodle and it was GREAT! Everyone who works there is so nice and it's so clean and inviting. Def recommend eating in or take out. read more

Basil Leaf Thai Cuisine - Drunken Noodles - Thai Near Me - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

Excellent service, food delicious. Recommend making reservations. Very small restaurant

Tonight was a terrible experience! 47 minutes to wait for take-out pineapple fried rice is unacceptable! Unfortunately, this was my first time here. First impression will likely be my last. I walked in to place my order & wasn't addressed for several minutes, but after a few minutes it became apparent why. She is the only one working the front. She took orders, ran drinks, cleaned tables, & rang up the invoices. The small boutique restaurant is clean. There is another woman running food from the kitchen. At 35 minutes, that woman asked me what I ordered. I said pineapple fried rice no snow peas. I thought she would go in the kitchen and grab my to go, but they hadn't made it yet apparently because I didn't see her until 12 minutes later. My food was piping hot. So, after making me wait 35 minutes for rice they didn't even tell me my food was done yet or cooking. The food is greasy. The vegetable chunks were to big to eat so I had to cut everything in the dish. It's not worth waiting for. Waiting was an issue for everyone, tables and to go. read more

I went into order rice to go. The waitress said 30 minutes which seemed excessive for rice at an Asian place but okay. I waited in my car and when I went in to get my food I had already paid for it turned out they had not even started making it yet. The waitress said 15 more minutes and after thinking about it for a minute I told her I couldn't wait any longer and to refund my money, she refused saying the cook had put my food on the stove now. In what world does it take 45 minutes to get rice at an Asian restaurant? And if that is how long then say it upfront. I felt like my time was really disrespected but mostly the refusal to refund my money when they failed to fulfill their part because 45 minutes wait was not what I was told. Why would I get food to go and literally wait almost as long as it would take to eat in? This was just unprofessional, irresponsible, and rude. I literally have to reverse charges for food I never received, you lost a customer for LIFEQ! read more

We stopped here on the way home to DC from the Poconos (based on its good reviews), and the reviews are correct. The food is great, fresh ingredients, and the service is very friendly and attentive. Give it a try! read more

Traveling back home from Hershey Park, we were having a hard time finding a place that was open. This was open so we went for it. It is a small place, but so cute and nicely setup and decor was nice as well. Place was very clean. There was only one person serving and you would think that it would cause issues, but she did such an exceptional job. She managed to service everyone there with a genuine smile, accommodated requests and brought drinks and food out in a timely manner. Kudos to her! Food was also very good. We enjoyed it very much and so did my kids which is always a plus. Great spot to come to again if we ever go by the area again. read more

Everything was great. The service, the prompt refills, the food quality. The presentation of the food was awesome. Thinh was an awesome server, host, and all around knowledgeable. The music was at just the right level. Everyone that works there is super polite. And the Thai iced coffee is the best I've ever had. It was a great experience, and we will definitely be going back. read more

Basil Leaf Thai Cuisine - Mango Paradise Chief's Special - Thai Near Me - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

Food is flavored well and they are willing to adjust the heat on some dishes. Service is always polite and timely. Clean establishment

Pretty good Thai food at a reasonable price. I enjoy their curries and larb. My son (who was born in Thailand) is picky about satay, and he LOVES theirs. Ambience is casual but nice. We've always had great service, often from a waitress from Bangkok who would patiently let me practice talking Thai with her. read more

This place used to be a 5, but sadly the Pad Thai was nearly inedible. It was dry and the flavor was not very good.

Since I sampled Pad Thai at a farmers market recently I can't get enough of it! Haven't found a spot in Lancaster as of yet that serves it well, so while out and about thrifting in the Mechanicsburg area I took a chance and found a Thai restaurant nearby. Located in a strip mall it was easy to find and had a cute exterior with decorated window. The inside was rather plain, but clean. They had a pick up station immediately inside the door complete with hand sanitizer, etc to make pick up as covid safe as possible. The lady that answered the phone was very sweet and enthusiastic, she ran around like she was swamped with work (literally ran) but the restaurant was near empty. The pad thai was low on scallion and when I asked for more was told there would be an upcharge. I decided to go with what I had and left. The dish was piping hot, and was still almost too hot to eat when we finally arrived back home in Lancaster. Portion size was enough for 2 meals, and the flavor was spot on. It did look pretty bland as the chicken and noodles were the same color, and like I mentioned before was very light on the green onion. Could also have used some more peanuts, but otherwise happy with the dish, and it cured my craving. read more

Got take out from this new-ish thai place! All my friends and I enjoyed our food. Very clean and good service! Will come back! Food: Pad Seew 3.5/5, Basil fried rice 4/5 (my only complain was chicken was in huge pieces), Curry 4.5/5 (very watery, but very good flavor, especially the tofu because they put fried crispy tofu!) Dessert: The banana chocolate spring rolls were delicious, and my friends also liked the custard sticky rice. The thai donuts would taste significantly better for dine-in, since they are no longer as crispy after the car ride home. read more

Fellow Pennsylvanians, if you want true, authentic Thai food, go somewhere else. Don't be fooled. This place uses too much sugar, not enough veggies (just broccoli and bell peppers, no bean sprouts, very little onion). Service wasn't so good either. Not coming back again, highly disappointed. read more

After being a fan of this restaurant for years now, I can confidently say it has gone down the drain with new management. The person taking the order was not paying attention while I asked for drunken noodles with tofu, they gave me one with tofu and one with veggies.(Ofcourse they charged me for both). The food was just mediocre, just clamped up noodles. My basil fried rice did not have a single basil leaf and again was not tasty or flavorful. The Thai iced tea was watered down, could not even taste the sugar, forget the tea! Need to find a new place for my Thai cravings now. read more

If you love authentic Thai this is as close as it gets. I have not found another Thai food experience in Central PA that is this good.

Maybe it was a bad night for them? But honestly, I don't understand the hype. Just had their summer rolls and pad Thai for take out and could barely finish either of them (in fact didn't). Super greasy and flavor is just downright offensive. read more

I love Thai, I eat it often all around the country, this was bland, the chicken was dry, and it had very little flavor. My server was nice, but the food was unfulfilling. I will not return read more

Worst worst worst service ever. Ordered a tom yum soup and got a bland clear chicken noodle soup. The guy took incorrect order, it was a pick up at the store. You did this twice, thank you and bye. $10.95 spent useless. read more

We visited on a lazy Sunday afternoon, so there was only 1 other table occupied when we got there. We were pleasantly greeted and offered to choose whatever table we preferred. The menu offered a nice variety of appetizer, soup, salad and main entre options. We chose Crab Rangoon, Chicken Satay, Drunkin Noodles w/ beef, Panang Curry w/ beef, Mango Curry w/ chicken and Pad Thai w/ shrimp. Every item was very good, with the Crab Rangoon and the Drunkin' noodles being great. Prices were a little high but that might just be where the economy is in the Mechanicsburg area. We liked the Drunkin Noodles so much we decided to get a carry out order to take home to my mom who lives near by. Overall, I would highly recommend and definitely will be returning the next time we are in the area. read more

My second time here and it was good. I had the Pad Thai this time around and I enjoyed it. My friend had a shrimp dish, she loved it. So for my return visit I would give them 4 stars . Clean place, good food and nice servers. Priced right about where the other Thai restaurants are in that area. read more

Just ordered take out two days ago. I'm even less impressed. I can't believe I'm this disappointed with their food. The 2 summer rolls for $6 were mostly lettuce. Each one had one medium-small shrimp sliced in half. Definitely not worth $3 each. Plus, each was rolled so poorly they all fell apart, dropping lettuce everywhere. The sauce was sticky sweet and had no real flavor. The peanut sauce should be spicy and savory in addition to sweet. I wouldn't have paid $1 each, let alone $3 each. A total rip off. I ordered the Tom Kar Gai soup for $5. It tasted like dairy milk with some coconut milk and green onion. Seriously, that's all. There were three small pieces of favorless chicken and a few very thinly sliced green onions in it. Also a few soggy mushroom chunks. No galangal. No lime. No cilantro. No hot peppers. The soup was bright white like milk poured directly out of the carton. No evidence of any chili paste. No taste of fish sauce. No lemongrass. Nothing I consider to be Tom Kha Gai. Almost flavorless. It wasn't even worth $1. I almost threw it away but for $5 I just drank it like a drink. Seriously, probably the worse Thai food I have ever eaten. I can't even call it Thai food. There was nothing Thai about that soup. Nothing. My daughter and husband ordered Pad Thai. Probably the least offensive dishes in our order. Each came with a few pieces of their selected protein (chicken for one, shrimp for the other). Most of the dish was clumped up, stuck-together noodles without enough sauce. My daughter ordered her dish 10/10 spicy, it wasn't even close. The majority of the favor came from the single wedge of lime they both received. Each dish was $13 plus extra for the protein. I would have paid $7 at a street vendor for this food but the street vendor would have probably made it better. This is such a standard Thai dish in restaurants, I can't believe they didn't knock it out of the park. I ordered the Larb Gai from the salad menu for my dish. It's supposed to be "Ground chicken with rice powder, red onion, cilantro, scallion and spicy lime dressing" for $9. It was a tiny serving of ground up chicken, way way way too much onion (it's pretty much all I could taste), and a few other bits and pieces over lettuce (which had some brown pieces). Barely an appetizer size serving, I had ordered it a 8/10 spicy. They did get that correct. However, it tasted like an onion salad. Soooo much onion. And the sauce did not have any "Thai" nuances. It just tasted like some lime juice and salt with some powdered red pepper. I expect a hit of fish sauce for that umami twist and touch of sweetness. If there were any real Thai peppers in there, I didn't see them. There was some cilantro, but it could have used more plus a hit of mint to make it more authentic. It was pretty lousy. The best part was they made it spicy. The bad part was it tasted like lime and onion. The worse part was the grit. I assume it was the toasted rice powder but it was all grit. When I finished the dish, there was a bunch of what looked like sand left behind. Just, no. I never ever have seen grit left behind when finishing a larb salad. Finally, my daughter's boyfriend ordered drunken noodles. It's the one dish I didn't try. I can't tell you if it was good or bad but it also had the clumpy noodles. He said it was fine but he had never had them so there was no point of reference. I have tried this several times just to make sure I didn't catch them on an off day or with a new chef or when low on supplies. I just can't keep trying. The flavors just aren't there and the value is incredibly lacking. I can make all of the dishes at home, for less, and with much more authentic Thai flavors (and I'm not even Thai). This goes on the permanent "not again" list. read more
