Wow!! This place is amazing!! There is a ton of seating and the decor Is so nice! The food is terrific - I had the Pad Prik with shrimp - we also had the noodles with beef and chicken. Everything was cooked perfectly - the green beans in the pad prik were so crispy! Our server was very friendly and quick to get everything out to our table! Highly recommend and can't wait to go back! read more

Basil in Charleston delivers a really polished vibe, the kind of place where you feel comfortable settling in and letting the night slow down a bit. The atmosphere is warm, modern, and surprisingly calm even when the dining room is busy. Our server, Lydia, deserves her own shoutout because she was genuinely a joy the entire night. Friendly, attentive, and just easy to deal with, she set the tone before the food even hit the table. Now, the meal. The Pad Thai? Easily one of the best I've ever touched in my life, no exaggeration. Perfect balance, great texture, the kind of plate that makes you stop talking mid-sentence. The green curry on the other hand... yeah, that one missed the mark. Very missed the mark. Bold flavors are expected, but this was one of the weakest versions I've had anywhere. Still, the overall experience stayed solid. The jasmine tea was excellent, the service was stellar, and the atmosphere made it a place I'd return to, just ordering a little smarter next time. read more

A hidden gem in Mt Pleasant Wonderful food, cocktails and atmosphere! We always go to this restaurant when we are at our place at Isle of Palms read more

We f_cking love Basil. We've been enjoying Basil at both locations for years. Consistent, flavorful, and a reasonable price point. Specifically, we love the pad thai, coconut soup, and the clear spring rolls. Always a solid option when you're looking for a *slightly elevated asian/Chinese meal. read more

I've been to Basil once or twice, but the last time didn't really wow me. Service is ok - our waiter was nice, but hostess was just fine. I ordered the steak appetizer, Pad Thai, and a keylime pie mocktail. The steak was good and flavorful in the sauce. Could use a little kick of spice, but the tangy/savoriness is good! The Pad Thai was on the sweeter side, noodles were super thin and soggy, and just didn't have the umami flavor most good Pad Thai dishes have. The chicken was overcooked and shrimp was just okay. I probably would get the Pad See Ew next time, not the Pad Thai. The keylime pie mocktail came out and it was like drinking coconut lime water - not one touch of sweetness. I had to get a new one remade to be sweeter which then wasn't bad, but not something I'd order again. This place is good for Mt. Pleasant, but there are plenty of better, more authentic Thai restaurants in Charleston. read more

This place has a great outside patio with some shade by the lake. After checking in with the hostess inside, you'll know why we opt for outside almost year-round. While it's elegant and cool inside, the noise level can be difficult for a conversational meal; so dine a la fresco with some delicious Thai eats. Their basil rolls don't disappoint with soft rice noodles and fresh finely chopped veggies inside a nicely prepared, unfried rice wrapper. The pad thai is my go to dish here, but their soup and curries are also a good way to go. read more

Traveled to the area for a quick beach trip with my Mama. We always love trying new Thai places wherever we are. Came across Basil and decided to give it a try. The restaurant is in a nice area, nice decor, good amount of items on the menu. My Mama had the Pad Thai and the taste was a bit off to us. We be eaten out for share of Pad Thai and the sauce used was on the vinegary side. The papaya salad is my favorite dish and this one wasn't my favorite. It just seemed like something was missing. The Thai tea was a little weak in taste. Now, for the good stuff, the duck fried rice was AMAZING! Maybe one of the best I've ever had! Really loved it and wish I ordered a second to go. The flavor was perfect, the amount of duck was perfect. It was the highlight of my meal for our trip. If we are ever in the area again, I'd get the duck fried rice and try something else different next time. read more

Thai food is one of my favorite cuisines, and after visiting the Basil location in downtown Charleston, I was excited to try the one in Mount Pleasant. The pad Thai ended up being one of the best I have ever had. It was super flavorful and honestly surprised me in the best way. The green curry, however, was the complete opposite. It lacked flavor and did not resemble a traditional green curry, which was disappointing given how strong the pad Thai was. Overall, the service was good and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I would return for the pad Thai alone, and I am hoping the curry experience was just an off day. read more

Hard to really say this place was a 4 star dinner 3.5 would be more accurate but this place is certainly not a 3 so here we are. The decor is upscale and modern, the service was quite professional, almost like a restaurant downtown and not in an upscale strip mall in the burbs. The busters cleared dirty used plates so quickly that sometimes you would think the kitchen is running out of plates. Speaking of the kitchen, it's an open show kitchen which is always fun. As for the food, it was fresh not precooked and then reheated as happens at some Asian places, but it was lacking some flavor. We started with the basil shrimp rolls, which were pretty, but if you did not get a bite of basil or shrimp they were bland. The steamed dumplings were very very tasty, and actually stayed all connected after the steaming, not an easy trick. The wonton soup was served in a fancy chalice and it was tasty as well, though perhaps lacking some additional zip. I can't blame them for by choice, the Thai Noodles. I should not have picked it as the chili sauce was the same as the sauce for the basil rolls, so it was a lot of the same flavors. That's all on me, though the pork was cooked perfectly. I can see why they do a great takeout business as well, and if I lived nearby I am sure we would go back since there were so many things to try, but it's just not special enough to run back to as an out of towner. read more

I get takeout from the Mount Pleasant location occasionally since it's convenient. I usually get Pho because I love the broth and noodles, but the chicken is typically chewy and I usually don't end up eating it. The egg rolls are really good! The online menu and menu pricing differ from in person and from phone orders, which can make it confusing, and I think it's a bit pricey for the quality, but okay in a pinch! read more

I love Basil!! It's my favorite Thai restaurant ever it's so good n tasty. I've eaten here countless of times and it's always so delicious. Every time I go the food is always fresh and cooked perfectly. All their food is made with high quality for sure. I am absolutely obsessed with their fried egg rolls they are the best I've ever had. Everything on the menu is so good you can't go wrong. I also love that they can make your food spicy if that what you like. My favorites are the spring rolls, stuffed shrimp, fried wontons, chicken satay, larb, Tom Kai Gai soup, pad Thai, basil chicken, Barramundi shrimp/fish, basil chicken, masaman curry there are just so many amazing dishes. I would 100% recommend this place and it's one of my favorite restaurants in Charleston hands down!!! 5/5 read more

we have been ordering take out meals from Basil for years. their dishes are always fresh and tasty. their prices have crept up noticeably. we noted with our most recent order that their portions seem to be reduced. no one will accuse Basil of being generous. pay more get less seems to be happening a lot. disappointing. read more

One of local go-to dinner favorites! One of the better international authentic cuisines in the charleston area.

Sat at the upstairs bar and had great service. Food was very good but if you struggle with spicy hot food like I do, the menu selections are limited as the majority of items indicate hot/spicy. Great atmosphere! read more

This was our first try of Thai food since moving to the area. We love Thai food and glad Basil offered a wide variety of options. The delivery charge was a bit pricey but the food turned out to be worth it! I recommend the pad Thai, and fried rice with chicken and shrimp! Great flavor and not too spicy! read more

Came here for date night and we sat upstairs on the balcony. Nice view over a pond with some ducks in it. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive with us! We ordered the steamed dumplings, pad thai and the red curry duck. Dumplings were very tasty and not soggy like some places I've been to. The entrees were nicely portioned. The pad thai was good - more peanuty and sweeter than I'm used to but still good. The roast duck was very good and would get this again! read more

I'm from California and every out of town visit I always try to get some Thai food. Here is my pros and cons review of Basil. Pros- Staff is very professional and welcoming. The location has some great ambience and it felt authentic. Cons- The food was just ok. First time visiting a Thai restaurant that didn't serve Panang Curry so we had the Red Curry with Chicken. It had no flavor. The Thai ice tea was not good. The Pad See Ew with shrimp dish was decent. Overall I would probably visit another Thai restaurant before I return to Basil. read more

Came with 3 friends on a Saturday evening at around 8:30 pm. I had made a reservation but I think we would've been sat pretty soon even without one. We shared the pad Thai, green curry with chicken, basil entree with pork, and the red curry duck. My personal favorites were the red curry duck and green curry. The red curry duck had a crispy skin (although the duck itself was a bit dry). The red curry was yummy but I wish they had put in a little more. The green curry was perfect, no complaints. The pad Thai unfortunately was too sweet and the noodles were too soggy. I thought the pork in the basil entree was really dry. Really what redeemed this place were the curries. Our waitress was kind enough to give us a free refill of rice as well. Dinner came to around $30/person after tip. read more

I always love coming to basil! The food and service are always fantastic and the decorations inside are nice. The seating is comfortable for a long meal, and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu! I finally tried the masaman curry and I'd recommend it with tofu. The appetizers are always super good as well, I forgot to take photos we all ate everything so fast. I'll always be back to basil regularly and I'm excited to try their other locations! read more

We had a family dinner at Basil. The ambience of this restaurant is beautiful and the open kitchen concept is pleasant. We ordered Tom Yum Kung (sweet&sour shrimp soup), curries and stir fried veggies. The food presentation is beautiful. However, we didn't taste the usual lemon grass flavor in the soup and the curries were thinner in consistency than usual. There were many servers working on a weekday evening and they were attentive. read more

We decided to give this place a try for my husband's birthday and they did not disappoint!! We ordered several dishes off of the menu since it was his first time there. Every dish was absolutely delicious! 5 stars for each dish!! The service was impeccable and our server was very knowledgeable about the menu & made great suggestions. The ambiance was amazing! This restaurant is absolutely beautiful and you can see the chefs cooking in the kitchen. Can't wait to go back for round two!! read more

This a delightful Thai cuisine! The portions are large and can be shared! My daughter and I split the Wonton Soup and Shrimp Fried Rice. The Wonton Soup comes in a large elevated steaming dish that is festive and fun for the whole table. Consisted of large meaty wontons, chopped celery, and chopped green onions. Fresh and full of flavor. The Shrimp fried rice was loaded with carrots, zucchini, onions and red peppers. Not overly salted. We sat outside overlooking a fountain and lighted palms. The view was soothing and pleasant. The staff work as a team and are very polite. We had to wait a bit due to a full house but it was worth it! Coming back soon! read more

Fantastic Thai restaurant in Mt. Pleasant. Nice atmosphere, great service and great food. My wife and I love the curry duck.

I recently found Basil Thai and I've been ordering it literally once a week it's soooo good! It's hard to find a Thai place who can accommodate my severe shellfish allergy - so far I'm able to eat my favorite Pad-See-Ew noodles and I am so happy. The service is great and it's a lovely vibe in the restaurant for a nice family dinner or date night! read more

Everything was nicely done , well seasoned and beautifully presented Handsome restaurant --- but try not going on Friday or Saturday read more

The food and the ambiance were excellent. What struck me though was the service-not so much our server although she was great. What caught my attention was a lovely lady I concluded was the owner. She helped servers set tables, roamed the room making sure everybody had what he/she needed, that their food was great and that there was nothing further they needed. She worked hard and was smiling throughout the process. She took such pride in the restaurant that I concluded ( incorrectly) that she was the owner. When I told her she must be the owner she corrected me and said he had the night off. Kudos to Miky for making my and others experience so enjoyable! read more

Absolutely wonderful. When I go to this place I do not want to leave. It's so beautiful, and the food is outstanding, I love the tempura shrimp appetizer. And the shrimp fried rice? Oh my! The noodles good gracious, make you bite your tongue can't wait to go back, oh it's so good. read more

Great food and ambiance. Will love to go again. Server took very good care of us, very friendly and fun.

Do not get the hype. Mediocre. The pad thai was too sweet and the waiter (although yes it was a mistake and mistakes do happen) added two additional entrees that I did not order onto the check. Do not recommend. read more

Five star experience for me! I do know what to order that makes it 5/5 though! - I love that they take reservations can get busy in summer - 3 flavor fish is my favorite it's a huge and fried flounder with a yummy sweet- leaning garlicly chili sauce - fried rice with shrimp is the best fried rice so flavorful but NOT super greasy and heart burn inducing - Tom ka ga soup is so so good and perfect to share, good amount of chicken and mushroom, impressive presentation - fried wontons have that perfect crunch with a better quality filling than most - these are the things I liked but didn't make my mouth water: red curry, & pad see ew. I do love these dishes but I have had better Basil roll was incredibly bland I frequent this place but can't say it's 5/5 because I can't recommend everything my party usually wants I'm a happy camper tho. read more

They do have a few things on the authentic side, but mostly Americanized. I always go for the Barramundi with Basil sauce. Spicy, but so delicious. Still tasty and quite a bit of the menu is spicy, so be sure to ask your server. My suggestion is to cool those fired-up taste buds with their heavenly coconut ice cream..... read more
