    I love their hot pots. I feel if you get noodles with the hot pot, you don't need to order extra rice but for the dry pot, it would be a good addition. The food comes out pretty fast and the owners are very nice and helpful. It can get busy and this place has been around for a while so you know it's good. The restaurant has good amount of seating and it appears clean. My only feedback is some of the dishes like the drunken noodles and the red curry is too oily for my liking.

    This place is awesome! We have been here twice now and each time the food has been super delicious, with quick service and such kind hospitality from Rachel. The fried chicken, hot pot, and appetizers are all great. I'm so glad to have found this hidden gem, as the prices are reasonable and the quality of ingredients are very high. I would give Basil Thai 10 stars if I could. We will be back!

    Absolutely YES and come taste the amazing cuisine of Basil Thai! Came across an Instagram post and wanted to give it a try! We were greeted immediately when we entered, seated in a booth, and advised to access the menu thru the posted QR code. My friend ordered the custom dry pot that had noodles, definitely has some spicy kick, but very flavorful! I ordered the custom hot pot w/ all the meat and seafood options, onion, bean sprouts, broccoli, mushrooms, with mild spice. The broth is very flavorful. We made our own entree by taking some of the dry pot and spoon the chicken broth and veggies atop, squeeze a lil lime juice and OMG it's a flavorful masterpiece! The only reason I didn't give Basil Thai 5 stars was because I thought the digital menu via the QR code was a little difficult to use and there are limited substitutions so definitely make sure you understand the spice levels.

    I was recommended this place from a friend, so I had to try when I'm in Austin. When we got there it was empty, which was a surprise because we came in during lunch time on a weekend. This made me question whether it was actually good or not. Me and my boyfriend did the create your own hot pot. I got the thai yellow curry with beef & he got the combo tom yum. The both of the broths were really good. The thai yellow curry was rich & creamy. The tom yum was sweet. Both of the hot pot had plenty of meats & veggies. It was a good portion for the both of us & wouldn't recommend sharing. To place an order, you just scan the QR. We were able to get our food fairly quickly. Overall, it was good & I would most likely come back when I am in Austin.

    AUSTIN RESTAURANT WEEK #2 A pleasant find in the HEB shopping at Parmer and Mopac...this little gem was a hidden surprise. We might not have heard about Basil Thai had it not been for restaurant week. For $25 you received soup and fried chicken for 2-3 people. After eating my soup, I did not have much room for fried chicken. The soup was nicely prepared with perfectly cooked vegetables...just a little more than al dente but not super soft. We had enough leftovers for another meal. The soup was so flavorful and steaming hot, which came out on a square wood stand with a hibachi type top. You could literally see the fire underneath the metal bowl. My hubby, who is a meat and potatoes guy, loved the soup and the fried chicken. The white meat fried chicken was in nugget size servings with a superbly flavored crust. The manager served us with ourfood coming pretty quickly. Basil Thai had a large number to go orders with two Uber drivers picking up large orders. The environment in the restaurant was pretty laid back. Thumbs up on this restaurant...

    Spicy Dry Pot

    I was really drawn to the concept and was super excited to try this place. However, I was a bit disappointed :( I ordered the spicy dry pot that had all the toppings chosen for you. You order by scanning a QR code on your phone and the interface was confusing for me. I thought noodles were included, so I ended up having to order some on the side later. The price was lowkey ridiculous, $1.50 for 1/4 of an instant noodle block. The dry pot itself was okay. It was around $20 with just meat and veg and the portion was pretty big, enough to feed two people. The only thing was that it was insanely salty. I brought the leftovers home and diluted it with some chicken broth and it tasted a lot better. The flavor was good and I liked the mala spice. The service was very nice. I would give it another try but maybe order differently. The thai tea however, was really good! It tasted like it was actually brewed and not powder.

    Service was not bad. It was really busy when I went but we were able to get a table pretty quickly. We got the family combo meal to split and it was a lot of food. However some of the flavors/spices were kind of off. the dry noodles just felt like when you have random stuff in the fridge and you tossed it together. It had french fries, fish balls and all sorts of random things that didn't taste cohesive at all. However I really really enjoyed the fried rice, it's probably one of the best I've had. Perfectly spicy and fluffy.

    We were looking for a Thai place that was somewhat northwest and picked this place. When I walked in, the fabulosa cleaning chemicals were over powering the restaurant to the point it made my nasals hurt, but touched it out since we were a party of 3. No paper menus, had to scan and order but had issues since our order was not submitted, waitstaff ended up placing our order. Prices are steep considering the amount of food you get. The dishes are different than we are accustomed too although the broths were not as heavy and rich which was a plus. I found the food ok, however the drunken noodle was dry, I'm use to it having it slightly saucy. The red curry hot pot was tasty but again, slightly different than what we're used to. The tom yum seafood hotpot was tasty but not what I was expecting and a very small hotpot but luckily we had enough to share. We all drove a minimum of 20 miles to this place and am not sure it's worth the distance driven. We have our favorites that we frequent in our areas. But it was worth a try.

    Coconut milk (Tom Kah) beef

    I had seen that Basil Thai was like a personal hotpot place, but I had never gone before because I thought it was like a whole deal and probably expensive, and that I had to save the occasion for something special. But! It's actually so accessible and can pass for any meal. Not that the food isn't special, because it really is good, but that I had overhyped what the experience would be into something overwhelming, when that wasn't the case at all. You can do a build your own, but with all the options on the menu, I just decided to get one of their already curated bowls - the coconut milk (tom kah) with beef. I am guilty of just ordering anything that says it has coconut milk in it. And im often disappointed by not really being able to taste the coconut milk in it. But that wasn't the case here at all. Whenever I'm craving spicy coconut milk type broth, this is exactly what I want! The food comes out pretty quickly, and the servers are pretty friendly! I got the medium level spice for this dish, but I definitely feel like I could have gone for the hotter version. I was kind of scared because I was coming off of recovering from a slight cough, but definitely could have gone spicier. The noodles themselves were okay, it felt like your typical ramen noodles. But all the toppings were good, I loved the broccoli in it too. But I wish there was more beef inside, it didn't feel like it had much meat at all. But yeah the broth really sold it for me. I feel like I could have just drank it all, but I didn't want to be too puffy :(( I wish I packed it and took it home. That being said, the price was pretty reasonable imo.

    THE BIG: Basil Thai is nestled in the Market at Parmer Lane strip mall. The windows have ads on it but also acts as a sun protector. Plenty of parking in the outdoor parking lot. THE BLACK AND WHITE: We ordered for pickup on a Friday afternoon and was able to get our order filled fast. The parking lot gets full quick so be aware of that. We ordered the dry pot with beef, curry hotpot with udon, tom yum soup, and lemongrass beef. The flavors were all sorts of funked up but maybe it's because I'm a traditionalist with food. The curry hotpot with udon was such a weird texture and I couldn't tell if i liked it. The best dish was the dry pot with beef in my opinion. Meat was nice and spiced and had a bevy of veggies. THE FINAL BAMBOO: We spent around $60 for 4 dishes, which is an incredible price, however the food fell flat for me and I think the only time I would try this again would be if I go in person and sit down.

    basil thai never misses!! my friends and i come here all the time. the portions are humongous, especially the hot pots and dry pots, and i love the build-your-own options. there's a wide variety of veggies and meats to choose from, and the protein portions are always sooo generous. the prices are on the higher side, but one pot is easily big enough for two people to share. their mala dry pot is properly spicy and numbing without being too greasy or salty. the curries and lemongrass sizzling plates do lean a little sweeter, though. service is incredibly fast and super friendly, and i leave in a food coma state every single time :D

    What I ordered.

    Oh come on. This was one of my goto places for Singapore vermicelli cuz it's my favorite. I went on Sunday and got platter of weirdly flavored spaghetti? Seriously? Had no curry flavor and the reheated wheat noodles were a weird texture. I won't be back and unfortunately I recommend you look elsewhere. If a place will sub out rice vermicelli with spaghetti? They've lost the plot. I'm so disappointed. There's enough other places around. Don't bother here.

    First hotpot experience and this place really set the bar high. Was greeted by the sweetest lady as soon as we walked in. She let us know to scan to order and offered to answer any questions we had before submitting our order. Food was out so fast and presentation was mouthwatering. We decided to do the create your own hotpot with the Thai red curry and salt and pepper wings. The Hot pot was amazing. Not too rich and had depths of flavor. Loved being able to create my own unique flavor by being able to select the ingredients. The salt and pepper wings were not as great. The chicken was very salty and lacked flavor. Overall great experience definitely will be back anytime I'm in the ATX area. Loved the staff 10/10!

Glad to say they ended on a high note. Atmosphere: Tatsuya always nails the theming with that street Japanese style decor. This one certainly was one of the most stand outs complete with Japanese style kitchen cabinets and stylistic art. Food: If I recall the menu's did change a bit, I recall them having this flip over style but now they opted for a more simplistic one sheet style menu. With that said I ended up with the Sukiyaki, delicious. With some flank and A5 meats so I could experience all styles, this combined with the bit of truffle dipping, so so so good. Service: Per most Tatsuya places, friendly and quick service. Don't be sad it's over be happy it happened... is what I would say if I knew this is the end but it's not, because the Tatsuya staff announced they had something happening in the works, so I know this is just another chapter. Looking forward to that whatever that is.

My parents barely speak English, so kind of wasn't necessary to teach us how to dip the stuff in hot water for each thing. You can upgrade to a premium plate on some of the courses which is absurd since the bill came out to be over $100 per person and we didn't order drinks!! No one should have to pay this much for boiled food. Even the normal menu was kind of over priced. The only redeeming part of this was the interior was nicely decorated to a bamboo Japanese style. But that shouldn't matter with all else.

We had a party of 7 and were seated in one of the private rooms with a big round table. Service was good, staff were kind and quick, quick to clear our table and keep the water refilled. Parking was easy in the plaza. This is a different setup from typical hot pot or KBBQ spots, where a waiter takes your order for specific meat cuts and side dishes. Here, everything is grab it yourself, buffet style. AYCE Dinner ($36 per person weekend price, plus tax and a 15% large party surcharge, total $47 per person) PROS: - Being all you can eat and self serve made it easy to keep grabbing what we wanted, though we were seated a bit far from the buffet area - Great selection of seafood, hot pot ingredients, fish balls, and vegetables, everything looked really fresh - Extensive sauce bar to build your own hot pot dipping sauce - Solid dessert section with ice cream, plus premade hot foods like japchae, tteokbokki, and fries, all pretty tasty - They do offer bulgogi, which was well marinated and tasted great Hot pot broths are pretty standard (tonkotsu, miso, tomato, etc.) and flavorful, though again you're cooking the same frozen meat in there, so tenderness is limited CONS: -Meat quality. Everything is frozen, so it's not the best, and the brisket in particular was a bit tough after cooking Overall, a great spot for a group get together if people are craving both hot pot and KBBQ in one place. Really good selection of hot food and dessert, my only real complaint is the meat quality. That said, $36 for a weekend all you can eat dinner is a pretty reasonable price given everything included.

When you arrive, everybody is so nice you give them your name and they get you seated right away. I ordered a drink called a signature tingling Daisy and it was so good. I definitely could've had so many but I was driving so you gotta pace yourself. We started off with the soup dumplings, which are just phenomenal. It's a must when you go. Also, for appetizers, we got the spicy cucumbers which were divine and a hot and sour soup, which was perfectly balanced and not watery. We also got a beef fried rice and let me tell you that rice is so soft and delicious. You literally dream about it the next day. I also got the pecking duck which is delicious there the skin is nice and crispy and the meat on it taste so good. We also got the Kung pow shrimp with cashews, which was delicious and the pieces of shrimp were gigantic. We also got the green beans which is were delicious. I love ordering green beans when they're cooked just like the ones I posted in the photo. Then for dessert, we got the chocolate mousse which is that little dog cake. I know it's so cute and they made it a little hard to eat because you feel bad in a weird sense. It was delicious now I will say when cutting it and realizing the inside had a raspberry filling, made it a little more crazy cause it looked like blood, but it was still so good. This place is definitely an awesome staple and a must visit when you're in town or just always go and have food there whether it's date night or friends catching up or anything in general even on your own.

This could have been my mistake but I don't remember any choice in the matter. The greeter wasn't very friendly and borderline surly when I asked for more details about how to not book the bar in the future. Didn't get any explanation but fortunately, we won't have to worry about that... The food was just awful. We ordered 3-4 types of dimsum (onion pancake, soup dumplings, chu shou, fried shu mae) and three entries (orange beef, eggplant and their take on ma pao tofu) for the best tasting experience. The curry sauce for the onion pancake was probably the most flavorful dish of the night sadly. The onion pancake was way way over fried-- hard as a rock. If that's their take on onion pancake... well, it's just wrong. The soup dumplings were passable but a bit doughie and the filling was full of a lot of noticeable coagulated fat -- not clear and broth-y, with light surface droplets of oil as all delicious broths. My wife enjoyed the chu shou -- I found the filling much too overcooked and tough -- difficult to eat with chop sticks. Like a tough, overcooked meatball. The fried shu Mae were just plain inedible. My wife and I each ate one and left the rest. The included sauce was basic and too heavy. And again, over fried. There was a huge delay between our apps and our mains, like 40 minutes or so. Various bar staff apologized. It wasn't a big deal, we were in a good conversation and they were super busy but our mains were not at all worth waiting for. Small portions. WAY over sauced. WAY too salty. WAY too sweet. No distinct flavors at all. The ma pao didn't seem to have any Szechuan pepper at all. How do you miss that ? The plating of the eggplant dish was really creative but I don't eat with my eyes and it came with no instruction -- my first bite was just flavorless steamed eggplant cube -- second was mixed with one note sauce. One of the better mains IMO but it was still gloopy and pretty gross. Wife did not enjoy it. The orange beef was essentially just six or seven cubes of tough, fatty beef covered in over-the-top bitter orange peel. We each had a cube and left the rest. Honestly, give me Panda Express any day over this abject failure of a restaurant. Austin needs more Chinese but if it's anything like this place, forget it. I'd rather spend a 4h round trip to Houston and go to even a mediocre Chinese restaurant than endure another meal at this place. What a waste of $165. Edit: I wish I was making this up but I literally had to pull over to throw up on the side of the road on the way home. The food did not sit well with me. I have no underlying health conditions, am not on any medicine that would have this as a side effect and only shared one beer with my wife. It was just a very, very, disappointing and gross meal.

    We made reservations for Austin Restaurant Week and did not expect the spectacle of what was in…read morestore for us. Every step of the process was meticulously thought out and expertly executed. The specialized menu we got included 4 courses. With two people at a table we were going to share the cheese, broth, and dessert options. We also had a salad and got to pick our own proteins. We both had the lavender lemonade which was also part of the Austin Restaurant Week menu so the cost of each food/drink item we ordered was going to partially donate to the Central Texas Food Bank. Hooray for giving back to the community while trying new places! The spinach and artichoke dip was our starter. It was so fun to watch the preparation at the table. The drinks were delicious so we were already having the best time ever. After that we had a salad course and both ordered the caesar which was great. Next we got the bouillon broth and I ordered the Pacific Rim while my partner had the Land and Sea. I would choose the Pacific Rim again just for the duck, it was so tender and flavorful. There's a website that helps you time the amount of time each protein needs to cook. Every approach was incredibly thoughtful. The teriyaki sauce was the best overall in my opinion. We were very happy with the bouillon broth and also enjoyed dipping the potatoes in the creamy sauce. For dessert we had the cookies and cream. My favorite part of the meal was covering the strawberries in dark chocolate but we were so full by then I couldn't finish it all. I would come back for dessert alone. Overall it took us 2 1/2 hours and left us extremely full and satisfied.

    I dropped the ball with this review, I was too excited to try this place finally that I didn't get…read moreany details on much to give a proper review so please just enjoy the pictures!

    highly recommend this place for korean food. every dish we tried was yummy and will def be…read morereturning. i recommend the cheese corn, tteokbokki, tofu soup, and galbi. the kimchi rice was good but we found it a bit dry. all the portions were big but each dish is on the pricey side. the service was a little lacking as it seems like they are understaffed. they never checked up on us and we had to go up to them multiple times for when we needed spoons and more water. additionally, we were sat right next to the speaker which i get that the loud music adds to the late night bar vibe but we could barely hear each other and our ears started to hurt.

    Corn Cheese 5/5 Hot, cheesy, charred flavor, creamy, sweet,…read morejuicy. Delicious! Soy Honey Chicken 4.5/5 This was crunchy, sweet and savory, fresh, and very delicious! Although I wasn't a fan of the batter, it wasn't a big deal. Good with rice and onions add freshness! Short Rib 4/5 This has a lighter flavor. The first time I went it wasn't great because it was chewy but the second time I went it was delicious! Steamed Egg 2/5 Although this was hot and soft, there was no flavor at all other than egg. I wouldn't get it again. Kimchi Pancake 4/5 This was crispy and good but it was a bit doughy and it needs more kimchi. The sauce was yummy though! I like vinegar flavors so this sauce was more salty than tangy. It also had a yummy onion flavor. Pork Belly 5/5 Although this came plain and seems like not much, it was actually very delicious! The pork belly was juicy, tender, and it had a nice fat flavor. Yang Dak 5/5 This is a very saucy, sweet, savory, and delicious dish! I enjoyed the fried rice cakes that came with it, and the sauce added so much to it! The radish was bitter but I'm not sure if there was something wrong with my tastebuds. The flavor was sweet, savory, and very gochujang. Juicy and crispy! Kimchi Stew 5/5 This kimchi stew is fresh, spicy, salty, tangy, and everything needed after a long day! Honestly, the personal serving was big and enough for 3 people. Definitely try this out! Good vibes at night, good service, not bad prices compared to nearby places, check it out!
