Unfortunately, this was a subpar experience for a restaurant that specializes in sushi. The hours posted on the door were inaccurate, and after being seated we were informed that the kitchen would be closing in five minutes. The food was underwhelming from the start. The edamame seemed as though it had been cooked earlier and simply reheated before being served. The sushi rolls appeared hastily assembled, and the avocado was overly mushy. The spicy tuna roll was unusual, consisting of plain tuna with sriracha drizzled on top rather than a traditional spicy tuna mixture. The California roll was generic and forgettable. The Philly roll was the best item we tried, but the smoked salmon tasted as though it may not have been at its freshest. Service was acceptable--nothing particularly bad, but nothing that stood out either. Overall, the experience did not live up to expectations, and there are better sushi options available for the price. read more

Family was looking for sushi and since our favorite place is closed on Sundays, we thought we would try this place. We are visiting from out of town, but family members assured us this was a good place too. We were seated in a lovely place by the door, with views outside. Unfortunately NOBODY came to take any order for almost 20 minutes and this was after we alerted the host. Overall the food was great, but the service was so bad. The server blamed it on the kitchen, but the place was not busy when we arrived and maybe the kitchen would not be backed up if the servers took care of their tables in a timely manner. Never going back. read more

What a great restaurant in the downtown historic area of Brunswick. My Daughter and I ate lunch at Basil Thai and sushi on Saturday and enjoyed every aspect of our experience. First of all, our server, Chloe was friendly and very attentive. Second, TC the owner checked on us multiple times. Being originally from California, we know what great Thai food tastes like. Everything tasted very fresh and flavorful. We shared the yellow chicken curry and ordered the Pad see ew with chicken. The more traditional dish of Pad Thai is on the menu, but when I asked about Pad see ew, they said they could make it as well. Both dishes were amazing. Although I typically try and limit my sugar intake, I decided to splurge and order the Thai iced coffee. We would definitely consider returning the next time I visit Brunswick, and I would highly recommend others try basil, Thai and sushi in downtown Brunswick. Cheers read more

The atmosphere here is very laid back. We had a group of 10 and our waiter did a amazing job. We really wanted to try the fried oyster roll, but they were out of oysters. So we started with the spider roll that had soft shell crab inside. The roll was really good. It was a hard decision between the Pad Thai or the Thai Curry. So I went with the Thai Curry and it was full of favor. read more

After several days of cooking at home, we ordered delivery from Basil Thai through DoorDash. Despite paying premium delivery fees and including a driver tip with our order, we received only two of the five dishes we ordered. My attempts to contact the delivery driver via text went unanswered. When I called Basil Thai, they informed me our complete order was still awaiting pickup. After being placed on hold, the staff member and manager insisted this was solely a DoorDash issue and refused to take any responsibility or arrange delivery. When I pointed out that DoorDash couldn't have picked up an order without the restaurant's release, the manager remained dismissive and repeatedly told me to contact DoorDash instead. As a business owner, I find this level of customer service unacceptable. While I rarely leave negative reviews, the restaurant's complete unwillingness to help resolve the situation or take ownership of the problem leaves me no choice. I gave them multiple opportunities to address the issue, but their dismissive attitude and lack of customer care mean they've lost my business permanently. read more

Went here early on a Friday evening with a party of 12. Nice ambiance, though the seating left something to be desired with regard to comfort. Had a spicy tuna roll as an appetizer, which was mediocre (Fancy Q on the island is much better). Did the Thai fried rice as my main course, which was good, but not great--it wasn't the most flavorful, though the pineapple was somewhat unique. While the owner or manager (not sure which) checked on us a few times and provided free shots for one member of the party who was celebrating a birthday, overall, the service was extremely slow, and it took almost an hour just to get our checks, which our server had to redo multiple times in order to ensure each individual's check was correct. In fact, the service was so slow that another party came in well after we were seated, ate their meal, departed, their table was cleaned, and another party seated and served at that table before we were done. While I'm sure large parties aren't the easiest to deal with, especially with separate checks, it felt excessive to be stuck in the restaurant for some 2 hours and 45 minutes for a simple meal (and we didn't even have dessert!). While I might give this place another shot, it would not be high on my list of local eateries. read more

Thai food in the Golden Isles is hard to come by. Thankfully, there is this place! In the gentrifying downtown area of Brunswick is where you'll find this hot spot. Open everyday but Monday, this is a great option. The wine list is impressive. I enjoyed a glass of Estancia from Paso Robles , CA on my first visit. For a mere $9! There are also cocktails and non alcoholic beverages as well. My husband had the Tom Yum. He rated it a 5/5 and was very happy. He got the fried rice and asked for a spice level of 7. It was pleasantly spicy. Another 5/5. He plans to do a 9, next time. We are spicy eaters! I got the Pad Thai. It was perfect except in all ways except it was the blandest Thai I've ever had. I did get chili flakes and poured a ton on. Still nothing. I added the chili garlic sauce after that which gave it heat but not quite right for Pad Thai. I plan to ask for basil in my Thai next time and that should do it. If you know, like really *know* Thai food, I highly recommend talking to you server. We had a fabulous server who when I go back, I know what to ask for exactly in terms of spice. I strongly recommend this gem no matter your experience with Thai food. We did not try the sushi but I'm confident it's good too. You'll be happy you stopped in when you're in town next! See website for hours and location. The menu is not current as of 12/2021 but pretty close. Also, if the owner is reading this - it's Philly not 'Phili' roll. My Philadelphia born husband begs you to fix that. ;) read more

Comfortable seating in a surprisingly large space with a bar. Friendly and attentive service with a smile. Our meal was very hot and fresh: my vegetable stir fry with tofu was perfectly cooked so the veggies were colorful and firm, and my spring rolls were super crisp; Hubby's pad Thai was a generous portion and not too sweet, which is rare for pad Thai. Highly recommend! read more

I want to start off by saying I am surprised at the food we received this past Friday evening We have been eating here as regulars since moving here 2 years ago, the duck has always been our item to share but this Friday it was almost completely fat and almost no meat. Duck is fatty I understand that but we have ordered this exact dish every time we eat and it's never been this bad. We will still be coming back but not ordering the duck again. Probably one of the most expensive items on the menu, but there are other choices, we will let you know what happens on our next visit read more

One of my favorites to go to here in Brunswick. Also one of the few places open on Sundays. The servers are very kind and attentive and the service is usually fast. Many options on the menu such as sushi, hibachi, pho and curry. The pho is a big portion and the yellow chicken curry is amazing! I usually get the Thai tea which tastes amazing. read more

Let's start off with my fiancée's prompt take on this restaurant "I'm excited, excited to leave." This was a super good and super bad experience all at once. We were a bit deceived by the name "Basil", it gave off as Italian feel. We went with it and like the decor and feel of the interior. We were seated quickly and the waiter took our drink order. We waited for his return but he apologized. We received our appetizers and waited again, this time for drinks. Here's where it gets ridiculous. I ordered squid salad (10.95) and he ordered seaweed salad (7.95). The look on my face said it all, IT WAS ONE BITE ON A PLATE!! The words "hell no" left my lips. At least our drinks arrived soon after, I needed one. We also got the steamed dumplings that were very good. I ordered the coconut soup and he ordered the spicy tuna roll. My soup was amazing with fresh veggies and tofu. His tuna roll was a bit odd with jalapeños. It was like the Mexican version of a spicy tuna roll. Once we got the bill ($68 with tip for LUNCH) we were out. We really debated on 2 stars because we're are NEVER going back. 3 stars for the great soup, drinks and dumplings. Overall....try at your own risk and money just DO NOT get the salad read more

Food was decent but not outstanding. Sushi was very small rolls. First Thai restaurant I've been to that didn't make sushi attractive. And the prices were outrageous. Two of us on bill and it was $71. Very nice decor. Wait staff was decent. Will we go back (and that includes my sister and her husband), the answer is no. Would I recommend to others , no. read more

Thai food was ok. Sushi was dismal. I was left with the impression that they couldn't get out of their own way. Service was desperate.

Very good pad Thai. Wife got seared tuna. It was seared just right. We'll be going back.

Placed a take out order over the phone. The food took 15 minutes and was ready when I arrived. Upon looking at the receipt I saw a 4 dollar charge for gratuity. I was advised there is a 10% charge for take out orders. This was not advised while placing my order. Just after I make the 15 minute trip and ask about the random charge on the bill. Seems a little sneaky. Luckily I went home, due to there being no napkins or utensils. The food was good, but a bad taste in my mouth over getting charged take out. Probably won't be back for a while. Hopefully they change this. read more

Food was quite good and service was better on my first visit. My second time there was to pick up a take out and they added a 10% "gratuity" because it was over $25 order. That seems a bit over the top, especially since it was mandatory. Even when dining in I can set how much I want to tip. read more

The place automatically tags on a 10% gratuities for takeout even without telling you beforehand.

I'll admit... I'm a tiny bit of a food snob. When I looked around, I wasn't sure of what to expect, as the town doesn't scream diversity. This dining establishment is really nice on the inside, though, with cloth napkins and a nice decor. All I can say is, they didn't disappoint! We sat outside as we had a dog with us and our server was nice enough to bring out an extra chair for us. I have to say, all that jazz about "southern hospitality"... it's SO TRUE! Our server was the sweetest! She even complimented my friend as they were passing through the door, saying "You are SO pretty!", even though she was a beauty herself. :) When she came out with the menus, I asked what she recommended. She suggested a few of the appetizers and a few of the entrees, warning that some of them were spicy. We all ordered a shrimp curry with different sauces. I got the yellow curry at a 7, and when our server's eyes widened with alarm for me, it was clear that they don't joke with spice here. So, I downgraded to a 6 and she provided extra spices just in case I needed to add more. (I did, but it's ALWAYS better to be able to add more since you can't remove it once it's in there. I've been literally burned by this before!) Everyone enjoyed their curries and we devoured the dumplings when they arrived. Our server also gave us some water for the puppy, which he gratefully lapped up. If you are in the area and have a Thai craving, I definitely recommend this place not only for the food, but for the awesome service! read more

This was recommended by me realtor in the area and I had to stop by for lunch yesterday. The food is amazing. They offer an upscale dine in experience as well and a take out experience. I believe they also offer delivery as well. They were so accommodating and the owner was so, so nice. He came out to meet me directly, shook my hand, and express interest in my shirt because it was a shirt I purchased while visiting Oahu in February. Not only are their extremely dedicated to customer service, but they are also very, very nice. The food is also delicious, took 10 minutes to prepare, and was damn good. It came with good shrimp and chicken, and the portion was very large at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend them in beautiful downtown Brunswick for all of your Thai and dining needs. Enjoy! They know how to do Thai and restauranting very well indeed! read more

Basil Thai & Sushi - Shrimp and Chicken Pad Thai - Asian Fusion Near Me - Brunswick, Georgia

First off, the food here is excellent! Fried oysters were amazing! Fried perfectly, wasn't greasy, and the sweet chili sauce went perfectly with the oysters. Pad Thai was also delicious! Yeah you can get pad Thai at pretty much any Thai restaurant but I can tell you that somehow, here in Brunswick of all places, they can make it better than most. It's been a while since I've enjoyed a pad Thai this much. The green curry with pork was also a hit. The vegetables worked well with the slight sweetness of the curry. We were literally slurping off the plate at the end. The crispy flounder was also good but because of how good the rest of the meal was, it came in last. It's an outstanding dish by itself. Just not compared to the other dishes of the night. The food is again, excellent! My 3-star was because of the service. Perhaps it's because we were the last table to be seated but the service was definitely lacking. My sister and my wife both ordered a cocktail and we didn't get anything for at least 20 minutes. When the oysters came out, we asked about the drinks and they said they must've mixed it up. We didn't get any appetizer plates for the oysters. I also thought we would get bigger plates to share our entrees but that's when we got the small appetizer plates. Again, it could just be that we came in pretty late in the evening and the staff was just tired. Either way, despite the slow and lacking service, the meal was very good. Well worth giving it another try! read more

Real cute place! Came in for lunch - had Green Curry chicken and Pad Thai. Hubs order the Pad Thai at heat 7. It wasn't hot enough for me... but good. The curry was not as good as Langley Thai in Hampton VA - which to this day is the barometer for good Thai for me. Almost worth a sail around Hatteras to go back! The place is good, the service was good, and food was good. read more

I'd probably give this place a solid 3.5 stars. My husband and I shared pad thai and vegetable tofu green curry with rice. Everything was tasty and timing on the food was good; although our order was pretty easy. The service was very basic, very minimal. Based on this, I probably wouldn't recommend the spot for a special date night. If you like your Thai a little spicy, you'll have to tell your server. They do not ask you what level of spiciness you like; they just automatically bring out very mild dishes. read more

The service was kind of spotty. We all received food at different times. Everything seemed to take so long without the dining room being even remotely full. The food was fine but I don't think I'd feel like I was missing much by not coming back. read more

The food is good, the atmosphere is great and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. My issue is with pricing. For similar items you can get at other local Thai and sushi places, Basil is about 30%-40% more expensive. Every time I've eaten at Basil and get the bill, I always feel like my food wasn't worth what I paid. Then there's discrepancies with pricing on the menu. I ordered the Tom Kha soup, which in the menu says $5.99. But when I got the bill, I was charged $8.99. Also, on the menu it said the soup had shrimp and chicken and my soup only had tofu. For these reasons, I'll likely never go back. read more

I got takeout from here during COVID. It seemed clean and staff were wearing masks. Positives: Portion was huge and lasted me 2 meals. Negatives: Pad thai was bland and did not taste authentic. The shrimp was very dry. The lime wedge was brown, like it had been heated with the noodles. read more

The food was the most bland tasting food for Thai food. Service was mediocre. Ambiance was nice.

The food here is very tasty and portions are large. It is a bit pricey in my opinion though.

The sushi was super expensive and not astonishing :( Our server Bryce, however, was fantastic! We got the steamed dumplings, but I asked if they could be friend and they delivered! The dumplings were a must have in my opinion! That was my favorite part for sure. The California roll was pretty standard, but the spicy tuna is where I found the meal lacking. The spicy tuna was simply raw tuna, cucumber, seaweed, and rice with a strange drizzle of an extremely spicy sauce. I'm all for spice, however, it was much hotter than I'm used to for spicy tuna and a very peculiar way to do the roll. All in all, I'd stop by again to get some fried dumplings, but that's about it. In total I paid around 28$ pre-tip for two meh sushi rolls, a coke, some delicious dumplings, and a great waiter. In regards to the establishment itself the atmosphere was nice, weird area tho! read more
