It been 10 years since my last visit in downtown location. Got a chance to go back and try it at the new location and food is still consistent from the had time I had it read more

First problem: I ordered food in the middle of December, 2022 and found a long piece of hair in my rice. They gave me a partial refund. I was disgusted, but let it go. Second problem: I ordered food to go on January 4th, 2023. After eating half of my food, I bit something hard and chipped my tooth. I looked to see what it was that did it and I found a small rock/pebble. I called the restaurant, reached their voicemail and left a message explaining the issue with my contact information. My girlfriend also called and left a message. Today is 1/22 and I haven't heard anything back. I tried to handle this through the restaurant directly, but I guess I have to use other methods now to get a resolution. read more

I was a little concerned because of the average star rating, but I think that's just because of the low number of reviews at this point. Our experience was really good. The hostess was super helpful in getting us a high chair, there is a ton of open space including outdoor space. The menu is the same (or at least very similar) to Basil downtown. I do like the vibe a little better downtown, I think it's fun that you can watch the kitchen downtown, BUT the ease of parking here is super nice. We ordered egg rolls, pad thai and then the dish with the cellophane noodles (I always forget to write down the actual name). I'm personally not a big fan of pad thai, just not a peanut sauce fan, but the hubs and our friend liked it. The cellophane noodle dish was solid with lots of veggies and I ordered it with shrimp as well. Everything was good! read more

Basil is one of my favorite restaurants, and this visit did not disappoint. It was a perfect fall night, so we opted to sit outside, and their patio has a great ambiance and is kind of blocked off from the street so you don't get all the noise. I've loved everything I've tried at Basil but had to go with my old standby, the Pad Thai, this trip. If you haven't had the Pad Thai at Basil ‍!! It's amazing!! The drinks were also to die for! My friend had the peach sangria, which she raved about, and I had the guava habanero margarita -- my mouth is literally watering thinking about it! read more

What a wonderful time for my friend's birthday! Mauricio was the best host ever. I was so impressed with his service, knowledge, and speaking skills. Then, Chris doubled as bartender and our waiter. He excited both well. Get the stuffed shrimp! That duck salad! Chris can make any drink, even if it's not on the menu. He is that good. I'll be back! read more

Have always been a fan of Basil since it's downtown days, so very happy to have a location close to us. All in all, solid food and relaxed atmosphere. Wings are phenomenal and a must. Can't go wrong w the pad thai of any variation. However, the biggest sell for us is always the bartender, Nick. Probably one of the warmest and most welcoming hosts you'll find in the area. Can sling a dirty martini like no one's business and is generally one of those reasons you keep coming back. As long as he is manning the ship, we will be here. read more

Came here one night after watching a show, checking out the ax throwing place Blade& Bull, and pretty much ordered the menu Service here is SUPERB, everyone that dealt with our rather loud and rambunctious table was very friendly, provided amazing customer service, and of course, got our food and wine to us! My personal favorites are the - Basil Duck -Basil Barramundi - Basil anything really the sauce is amazing and tastes great over rice - spring rolls (they are petite though so if you are used to something bigger, these are mini spring rolls, terrifically rolled and each bite delish.) -satay chicken We also ordered, but i personally did not LOVE, Pad see ew (although the other girls in our group liked it), pad thai, and curry . Overall a great place to come with friends, amazing Park Circle location, and a fun yet classy atmosphere. read more

Still shocked they were able to seat five of us on a Friday night at 8pm! The service was great and the food was too! Shared the larb and dumplings as well as the vegetable delight and beef garlic!! The garlic was sooo delicious! Can't wait to come back. read more

Basil has opened on Park circle. If you had been to Lotus, you know where they are. Where Lotus was more Asian-Fusion, Basil is the Thai food you know and love. Having eaten downtown, I was hoping this would be as good, and they did not disappoint. Location - If you had visited Lotus, you know what the place looks like. Not a lot of changes. Dark wooden floor and on most walls. Not a bad thing though, as it's is nice. I noticed a Lotus sign out front, so not all the re branding is complete. Very clean. Not noisy. I did have an issue with our booth. The table is fixed to the floor and crowded me a bit. It could not be adjusted. Rated a 4. Service - A very nice young lady opened the door a few minutes early to welcome us and let us in. Our server was prompt with glasses of ice water and menus. Selection was taken and meals delivered promptly. When it was time for the check, there was no delay. Thus, transactions complete, we were out the door and back to work with time to spare. Rated this a 5. Food - The meal, Basil beef for $10.95, was generous and popped with flavors of garlic, fresh Thai basil, and Thai peppers. Just as good as I had enjoyed downtown. Served in a bowl, with accompanying white rice, and a plate. A frugal eater could split this and be enjoyed by two. Rated a 5. Overall I give Basil in Park Circle a 5. Some of the best Thai I have enjoyed. Keep this up and I will be eating here every week or so. read more

Ordered the red curry. The flavors were absolutely delicious. The serving size was ridiculously small. I would not say it would even qualify as a lunch portion the bag it was delivered and was also unsealed which is sloppy for top dollar they should have better portions and better food safety control, for these reasons, I will not order again. read more

Always fantastic, one of my regular stops for viet and thai food. Wait staff is nice and it os not expensive for the quality of the food. Outside patio is nice when its cooler. read more

Gillian was beyond helpful with a carry out order! Big props to her and her, above and beyond, hospitality!

I love going to Basil. I go to Basil with my family all the time it's just a perfect place to eat. The staff is super friendly and the restaurant is so cool and pretty. The food is always delicious!! read more

The food is consistently delicious, the menu is easily modified for my food allergies (dairy, eggs, and wheat) and there are a lot of vegetarian options, as well, which is rare in Charleston, so absolutely appreciated. The past three times we have visited we have had a server that really seemed to be put out by my requests to change a menu item (swapping out vodka in a drink to a gluten free vodka, removing a topping ingredient to make the dish safe for me to eat, ie- removing an egg topping or excluding a sauce), was kind of rude by service standards, and has made the past few visits kind of uncomfortable. read more

Watch your order they most likely will not get it correct. Decent food but ordered 5 times from them since the pandemic and have received 5 orders missing items. read more

Food was excellent. Everyone, there were 6 of us, was very pleased. The duck was so good! The spring rolls too. They were very busy and we still received our food in a reasonable time. Its the best Thai I have had in Charleston and the portions weren't bad for the price. It seems like Thai food portions can be small for the price in this area. Can't wait to go back. read more

Usually super fresh and delicious, ordered here last night for Uber eats delivery and was horrible! I have video, o got chicken and shrimp pad Thai from the Daniel Island location and it was ALL noodles, rubber chicken and shrimp, and no flavor. I have video- two one inch scallion pieces in the whole order. Awful. read more

We ordered 2 cans of beers and split the steamed dumpling appetizer and a pad Thai entree. $57 out the door. We waited 10 minutes for the server to arrive and 15+ minutes for the cans of beer. It was starting to get cool outside and we asked for the overhead heaters to be turned on but that didn't happen. The dumplings we good but very small portion. Server was very polite and friendly. I didn't see any management in the front of the house. read more

Best Asian food in Charleston in my opinion. They have two locations Park Circle and downtown on King street both excellent food. We eat at the Park Circle location about every two months. read more

Had a great meal here tonight. Four of us shared multiple appetizers and adult drinks. A great time. Prices are a bit different from their Mount Pleasant location. But still a good value for happy hour. The staff are just as perfect as Mount Pleasant. No surprise there. Park Circle is the perfect spot for Basil. Visit them for a great meal. Well worth the trip. read more

I love the food and the outdoor seating. We will be back. I wish they put some effort into their wine list though. There are all kinds of cool wines to pair with Thai food. read more

It's a hit every time!! We are absolutely in love with Basil! If you like coconut the Thai coconut soup is crazy good. The small rice dish never seems enough but winds up being perfect for the dish. Thank you for the consistent wonderful service especially during COVID-19 times. read more

My picky 11 yr old and I stopped by for lunch last week and it was awesome. She loved it and so did I. My husband was upset he wasn't with us so we were going to go back yesterday(Saturday) but they were not open until 5. That is my only complaint, they should be open for lunch on weekends. That is the only time my husband can go. read more

Food was presented well in the individual dishes really good for sharing, the only improvement I'd suggest is to just bring all the food(entree wise) out at the same time, i found it kind of weird the individual rice bowl is served 5 mins or so before the actual entrees, doesn't affect the temp really just a different way of doing things. Nothing really stood out on the menu as being different. It's all the kinda same basic items and while they're good, it'd be nice to see maybe a smaller menu that's more focused on local produce/ and their spin on the cuisine type. Beers are good hadn't tried any speciality drinks but I'm sure they're fine as well, bartenders were friendly and very attentive. Overall it's good but isn't a place you leave saying you can't wait to come back to...at least as of yet. read more

Place was clean and was very nice. Polite staff and bartender. I had the PAD SEE-EU with spicy beef. The portion was perfect...not to big and not to small. It was good but the texture was a little off. But the broccoli was cooked perfectly. A lot of restaurants over cook broccoli in dishes but not these guys. So far the best place I've eaten in Park Circle. read more

I love Basil, I really do. Their food is good, but their d-bag bartender needs to go. If I'm paying $10+ for a drink and your soda is flat, poor me a freaking new one, don't just ignore me. If you are that miserable on a busy Friday night, bartending is probably not the best option for you. read more

Been to basil a few time and I had lexi as my waitress and she was fantastic at her job and really helpful. The chicken wing was so good, and the best pho in Charleston. read more

Went for restaurant week with some friends. Food was delicious, highly recommend the egg rolls. Do not get the cheesecake though, tasted like straight up American cheese. Our waitress could have had a better personality too. read more

Basil - Egg Rolls - Thai Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

Pretty good, not great. The Vietnamese place here before Basil was really good. This is pretty standard Americanized Thai food, good flavor, predictable options. Got take out using Grubhub during covid and it took a long time (though it was on time given estimates). I don't think that's an issue with the restaurant, but rather Grubhub. We had to call to make sure the requested substitution would be honored and the customer service was great (responsive, helpful, understanding) and in the end our order was correct. Would order again but probably not soon. 3 star food, 4 star (or more!) customer service. read more

Don't expect to pay $10 for their specialty drinks. We were rudely told that we were given "old menus" and now their drinks are $12-$15 read more

Excellent meal for my wife and me. Had not tried the Park Circle location but they had everything perfect for a fast meal before a play!

This is a quaint spot in the middle of the most wonderful spots in Charleston aka Park Circle. The atmosphere is relaxing and soothing. The staff is so attentive and the food is so authentic and AMAZING! This is a must try spot! read more

I was most optimistic, but sadly, the food fell flat. The service was great - friendly wait staff and bartender, and the food came crazy fast. I ordered the Pad Thai, and it was very average. Too many noodles, not enough shrimp, and all of it lacked flavor. The fresh bean sprouts and cilantro were the highlight of the dish and they are just supposed to be the extra garnish. read more

Easily my favorite Thai food in town, and all the servers are nice. All being said, expect extremely long waits both for dine in as well as dine out. It's too bad the downtown location closed. read more

My husband and I just love basil. We're so happy that one has opened up closer to us in North Charleston. We went last night for dinner, and just had a great experience from the service to the food. The only thing that would make this better is if they were open for lunch on the weekends. read more

Very good food, good atmosphere! Service was good. Just wish this location had the mango martini! read more

Basil - Basil rolls! - Thai Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

What a disappointment! We used to come here at least once a week when it was Lotus but since they switched to Basil and removed all our favorite items from the menu we've only been here 3 times since it changed. We only came back because our friends said they brought back our beloved Pho. We got here at 5:50 PM and were promptly seated, served water, and given menus. Then we sat... and sat... and sat. At 6:20 our server finally came by, apologized, and asked for our drink orders. We ordered food at the same time because we'd already waited so long. It took another 20 min for our drinks to be brought to us and one of them wasn't even the correct order. It took another 10 min to track our server down to tell her it was wrong. Our food came and it was good but not good enough to come back. We weren't even asked if we wanted second drinks as ours sat empty. As I write this I'm still waiting on my check... it's 7:20. We finished eating at 7... no drinks, a messy table and 4.5 very annoyed customers. Probably several more unhappy customers actually as I watched everyone else in the section have upset looks on their faces waiting, waiting, and waiting. Real kicker is, they have two hostesses doing absolutely nothing up front watching people receive bad service and not jumping in to help out. I live and breath this neighborhood but an establishment who wants to be here should replace this place. read more

Amazing food, drinks and atmosphere. Their Tom Kha Ghai and Pad Thai are absolutely one of a kind. I highly recommend this place for an event or a nice dinner at Park Circle. Staff and owners are amazing. I can't wait to come back! read more

What a horrible experience. Asked for Pad Thai Tofu extra crispy which we get perfectly at the Mount Pleasant location. This one took the order, when it came out it was soggy, and when we said it was supposed to be extra crispy, waitress said we dont have to cook it different, we make it how it comes, manager said so. She had a nasty look on her face and was bitchy. Hostess was horrible too, when the table we went to sit at was too close to the next, my wife politely asked if the table can be moved a few inches so we could squeeze in she said move it yourself, that's not my job! Dont go here is my recommendation, even the people next to us said they wont come back just because of our experience. read more
