I ordered take out from here and was super disappointed. I got the chicken and shrimp basil fried rice and the calamari rings. The calamari was decent, neither great but not awful. They were breaded pretty heavily so I had a few bites that were only flour but the price wasn't bad so I wasn't completely unsatisfied. Unfortunately the basil fried rice was less than pleasant. The rice was mushy and flavorless. I can genuinely say I've easily made better fried rice at home. There was very little shrimp and just too many peppers for my taste. Even when I first opened it, I could tell the rice wasn't going to be good. It didn't look seasoned at all and the coloring from the sauces was patchy. I wasn't expecting an amazing meal, but this wasn't even average. I will not be coming back here. read more

So so yummy!!! Fresh shrimp rolls and peanut sauce are amazing and so is the Pad Sew Ew. Honestly best I've had in Boston. Really great for quick take out or delivery. read more

These people do a great job and make excellent food. The pad Thai is some of the best I've had in the Boston area. Clean restaurant, friendly staff, you can't go wrong. read more

horrible management, if I could give 0 stars I would. The restaurant accidentally mixed up our order, which happens I understand as I also work behind a counter in a restaurant, but Mai (the manager) was absolutely disrespectful on the phone and questioned my ability to tell different noodles apart. Seriously? I have worked in restaurants (including a Japanese noodle house) for 10 years so I was very upset to see a manager react in a way that was so rude, I'll-mannered, and insulting. Harassed my roommate on the phone to refute our refund request on Grubhub and demanded money. I will NEVER be coming back and I suggest everyone do the same. - also, the food was honestly not great. I can find other restaurants to order from that respect their customers and have delicious food. read more

Yuck Yuck Yuck- I can't believe this place served me these disgusting uncooked chicken fingers. I bit into it and never mind the smell of old covered with batter chicken. I went here in the past due to convenience solely, but from now on I would never go here again. If you are pregnant or have a sensitive stomach please DO NOT go here. I did call and complain and got my money back I guess that is good that I didn't get charged for the crap they served. read more

First timer here. Ordered spicy basil chicken with brown rice for take out. Went home, unwrapped my wrap and found white rice. Ok - simple mistake. Took a bite. Fried shrimp. No sign of chicken in this heavy on the rice and mayo sandwich. But there was so little shrimp in the wrap it didn't matter what was floating on the mayo. It just tasted like a mayo and rice sandwich. read more

I eat at basil rice once a week and they are always on point ,,, the food is always excellent and the staff is great I love the orange chicken !!! read more

Terrible customer service. Called to confirm delivery address and was hung up on three times... when finally got through did not redirect food read more

Wide selection of yummy Asian foods. Fast delivery but pricey for single lunch due to the $15 minimum.

Just ordered for the first time. The food made me violently ill. I'm currently sick with full body shakes. My fiancé said that the food had a stench and I should probably not eat my meal. She was right. I'm hurting right now. read more

Best bang for your buck in the area! The food is decent and they always do a really nice job with packing the food up for to go/delivery. They separate out what needs to be separated and such. read more

Small portion!!! The foods taste ok. I ordered chicken pad see ew and beef basil fried rice. Both portions are very small. The chicken was very hard, the fried rice is too sweet(they must have put too much sugar in it). read more

Basil Rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

See all

Really really good spicy basil pad thai, even with Uber eats 20 min away, the food was still so hot and so fresh. Never had such a good pad thai in the boston area, full of flavor. Highly recommend. read more

I ordered Basil Rice through Ubereats, and it definitely arrived quickly and warm. However, the food was really underwhelming. I got the teriyaki noodles -- which had literally no teriyaki sauce on them at all. The noodles were bland, and the broccoli and carrots that came on top of it seemed like they were cooked absolutely separately and steamed. There was no sauce on anything. I've never ordered noodles somewhere and disliked it as strongly as I disliked this. I'm just amazed that there's no teriyaki sauce on teriyaki noodles. I am sad and hungry. read more

I love this place. I tried the plain fried rice with eggs and shrimp and it was the best. read more

Basil Rice - So good! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

The Pad Thai is very good. Also, this place has excellent customer service. So accommodating and kind.

While nothing fancy, or over the top, I had an absolutely delicious order of Drunken Noodles from here yesterday. I ordered through UberEats and the delivery was very prompt. I have been searching for a place that makes drunken noodles with the seemingly hand pulled, flat and thick noodles rather than just plain rice noodles like you would get with Pad Thai. These were awesome! That great spicy taste with a kick of thai basil. After finishing, I strongly considered placing another order to be delivered right away as it was that good, but I decided I should probably eat like a normal human portion for once. I also had the pan fried dumplings which were delicious as well. This will definitely be my go-to spot for ordering thai food as I am also just down the street in Brookline Village! read more

Solid Thai food delivery at a great price point. Green Curry could be a little thicker but it had flavor, and the shrimp summer rolls were good too. read more

Long time customer of this fine establishment. Their drunken noodle, spicy basil pad Thai, green curry, and pineapple fried rice are to die for. Absolutely delicious and hot Thai food, delivered to your door. The prices are reasonable, about $8.95 per dish and the serving sizes are big. You will be full. They also have a website where you can order directly with them, and stack points with your account to get 10-20% on your next meal. Btw, their coupon code for 5% off is "online5". Be sure to try it! read more

ABSOLUTE TERRIBLE SERVICE. I called up for a delivery and they took my order. I paid over the phone and was told to wait about 40 minutes for the delivery. About 45 minutes later, the lady on the phone called me back and told me that they couldnt deliver. They had taken my money, and tried to have me come pick up the food. read more

Basil rice is a fairly small restaurant. It has an ambience of a dhaba (a reference for all the Indians out there!) or a small shack. The pancakes were not what I had expected - they super oily and the sauce was too sweet. The tofu Thai noodles were edible but not too great. read more

My fiancee and I ordered take out from Basil Rice through the Yelp app recently with a coupon upon returning from vacation in the evening on a Sunday. The order was ready quickly and BR respected the coupon I had entered through Yelp. Pick-up was easy and the food while not the best I've ever had filled our hungry bellies and left us satisfied. read more

my husband and I recently ordered delivery from basil rice and thought it was a pretty good dinner. the food arrived very quickly, seemed like it was made fresh, and the price for portion sizes was reasonable. my favorite was the Korean bimimbap. i selected shrimp and it was served with a great savory sauce over rice with kimchi, mushroom, other vegetables, and a fried egg. the portion was a nice size, although i did not finish all of the rice. we both also enjoyed the teriyaki beef although while the sauce also had a great savory flavor it was a bit too salty. the fried rice was just okay, since contrary to the other dish it was lacking a bit on overall flavor. read more

The pad thai lunch combo hit the spot for me. Haven't ordered from this restaurant before, worth the try if you're interested in something new! read more

Loved it! My roommates and I ordered take out/delivery through delivery.com. The food came within 40 minutes of ordering online. And the food was delicious!!! We ordered a Curry dish, the garlic lovers rice, scallion pancakes, and crab rangoon. It was all phenomenal. The duck sauce/sweet and sour was the best I have ever had. I can't say enough about basil rice, the food was fantastic, so delicious. We also got a complimentary treat from them. I will return and would recommend basil rice. They have a great menu and again, the dinner was fantastic. read more

I love thai food and really liked this place. It's a bit tricky for a large family since its a small restaurant, but they were able to fit our family of 7 in pretty well. The restaurant probably fits about 15 people tops, but they also do a ton of take-out. The staff was really friendly and the food was really fresh. I live right over here so I'll definitely be back! read more

Not expensive. Take away service is prompt. Their Pad thai is good. It contained peas in it though.

Walked by this place on my way to KF Tea just shops next to it. Ordered delivery one day when I was at work - got the spicy noodle soup and bibimbap. I gave the bibimbap away and eater told me that it was spicy (as I requested) and that it was good. I ate the spicy noodle soup which was packaged separately so that the noodles won't be soggy. I wasn't a fan of the soup - it was more tom yum and I'm not exactly a fan of that. The pork that I ordered with the noodles were cooked via boil so I had to dunk it ahead of it time in the soup prior to eating. It was just A-OK, I can always go back to my go-to Dok Bua. read more

Love this place! I live near Brookline Village and I have other Thai restaurants to choose from. This is a little out of my way but well worth it. The style of street food offered are Thai, Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese. I usually stay away from one restaurant with more than one style but these guys really know what they are doing. Small casual order at the counter and very reasonable prices. Very friendly service. My boyfriend is a Thai chef and is impressed. Check it out n enjoy! read more

The menu here is diverse and the food is consistently tasty and fresh. It's also one of the best values in the area, which is why I almost rated this 5 stars. I've particularly enjoyed the gyoza, Korean beef, and lemon shrimp. They're also very fast for pickup, which is important (haven't tried delivery). read more

I would give 4 stars but my last order didn't go so smoothly and even the next order!The first order the driver called me to say he was outside. I went outside he wasn't there. Come to find out he was in Cambridge. I was in Allston next town over from where the restaurant is located. I'm not sure how you hear Cambridge from Allston... anyway I realized part of my order was missing after waiting so long for my order. I also gave a generous tip because I felt bad the driver was driving all over the city! So I called the restaurant to let them know that the Address was wrong and part of the order was missing, if they don't mind dropping it off again since I'm not too far away. The lady on the phone told me they would be on their way and next order I would get credit. I asked how would I get the credit? She said next time I call it would be in the system under my number. So I called again because the food is good. I have no problem with the food... and the person on the phone said they have no clue what I'm talking about and asked if I had a name? And the best they can do is give me a 10% discount. So if this happens to you maybe ask for a name or don't bother ordering out from them. Clearly there isn't great communication at the counter. read more

ALWAYS GREAT. I usually order the basil fried rice with shrimp and the pad see ew with chicken. I've never been disappointed. I usually wish I had ordered more. And they are so speedy and nice there, to boot. read more

The Sriracha Beef is surprisingly good. It was tasty and came with a fried egg. The ground beef is quite mile though. if you are looking for a very spicy dish, it may not be for you. The restaurant is kind of small, and has about 6 tables. The location is convenient and the parking is plenty. Good for a quick dine-out of 2-3 people. read more

Very disappointed; food just wasn't great, and it was pretty clear the staff couldn't care less if I threw the whole thing out. I should mention, I was the ONLY person in there, about an hour after opening. The wonton soup broth was the best, the wontons themselves had a spongy, almost crustacean feel, which is patently wrong for a pork wonton, not to mention it was white... I got a duck curry wrap, some reason the duck was breaded, which I didn't ask for, and it was all tendon meat and gooey breaded fat instead of actual meat, so that extra $2 went straight down the drain. Also, I got the lunch combo, the Rangoon were included in the appetizer combo, and I didn't get a drink, (I normally check but they stapled the bag shut several times and I felt awkward ripping it open). Appetizer Combo, no clue what that entailed so I asked and was told I'd get one of every single appetizer. Yea right. It was actually a half order of vegetable tempura, (3 broccoli, 2 zucchini, 2 sweet potato), 2 veggie spring rolls, 2 triangles, 2 chicken satay, and the 2 Rangoon that came with my lunch combo, (unless they forgot about the combo altogether, so choose your mistake). Obviously, several appetizers missing, so that was disappointing. But even worse, no sauces! EACH of those appetizers comes with sauces, and without them it's just a sad plate of dry fried stuff. Speaking of dry, I'm one of the first people there and I clearly got old chicken satay, it was hard and stringy like it was an old batch they reheated for me. The vegetable tempura was delicious, though a sauce would've been nice. All the rolls and triangles and Rangoon were over-fried, so they just tasted blech. And endlessly dry because, again, no sauces. How disappointing! I'm sure this place could be good, but the overall quality is highly contingent on the staff. read more

I love there garlic shrimp wrap it's beats having an burrito with the fresh veggies and rice rolled into a wrap. Also they make it to order and does not have the item in a container ready to be scooped up And ready to go. read more

The pad Thai was just okay. Pad Thai is my favorite food and I've eaten pad Thai all over Boston, however this isn't a pad Thai I would eat again. It contains too much sauce and is way too salty. On the upside, the prices are great here and the people working here seemed nice. read more

So bad. I ordered the Basil Pad Thai and it tasted like it had been soaking for days and they just heated it up. So slimy and not very tasty. Go to Dok Bua Thai down the street and get delicious Thai that is well worth the extra couple dollars read more

I ordered the pad see ew and the mango sticky rice. The pad see ew was aright, decent flavor but the noodles were overcooked. The mango sticky rice was not good at all. The mango was not fresh (I understand maybe not in season but it didn't taste fresh) and the rice was hard and smushed into the bottom of the container. It came pretty quick but was a very lackluster meal. read more

I was previously forewarned about the food of Basil Rice, I want to try it out myself. On a whim, I went in and ordered a garlic's lover with shrimp and white rice. Potion size is generous, and that's a plus. But I can't hide my disappointment. I like Thai and Vietnamese food, but this is decidedly not Thai. This is just a cheap whip-up Chinese takeaway food, with very thick and heavy black-bean paste like sauce that is salty, so much so that I have to rinse the food out of the sauce before I can eat it. There are some small slices that I take them to be garlic, but I really can't tell because I can't taste any garlic in anything. There are exactly four shrimps that are overcooked (and rough), and lots of cucumber. In the end, I just couldn't finish it even though I was hungry. That said, the staff is friendly. The price is middle-of-the-road ($9.95 for a rice dish, though only four shrimps to be had). The place is conveniently located and seating is comfortable enough (since it's mostly empty but quite some people coming in for takeout). I'm not sure if I would try it again. (I just can't stand thick heavy sauce.) It's a pity since everything else of Basil Rice seems decent, too bad that the one thing that counts most - the food - doesn't live up to it. read more

The papaya salad is amazing! Inexpensive and the people working there are very nice as well.
