Penang, Tom Kha Soup, and custard sticky rice
John C.

Ordered from DoorDash as I was too tired to go out to get something to eat. The Thai iced tea was too sweet unfortunately but the Penang, Tom Kha Soup, and custard sticky rice were all delightful. Next time I am in Cinci I will opt to dine in. No complaints other than the pure sugar Thai tea.

larb gai
Kelsey R.

Got takeout from Basil Thai when I was in Blue Ash this week, it was good! I had the pork dumplings and larb gai. The larb was juicy and good, but it was a pretty small portion and didn't include rice or anything. I loved the food, but thought it was a bit overpriced for the amount of food I got.

Thai Fried Rice
Erica H.

I usually really enjoy eating here. But something changes. The carrots and onion used to be big and flavorful and fresh. I just ordered it and it looks and taste like everything came frozen. I just wasted $14 on crap food. Used to recommend but after this experience I probably won't ever go back.

Excellent meal. Tom Yum Shrimp was nice, the spring rolls were excellent. Their red chicken curry was superb! Awesome flavors and nice heat levels. Very nice atmosphere and service. Do yourself a favor and have a meal there!!

Shrimp pineapple fried rice
Glenn C.

First time here. Went to lunch here at the recommendation of a friend. It was pretty good. I had the teriyaki chicken which came with vegetables and white rice. Chicken was mostly dark meat. It was good but on the high side being 11.95. Portion size was decent for lunch. My friend had pineapple fried rice with shrimp. It was good. Had a few shrimp but also was a few dollars over priced. Service was fine. This is a smaller restaurant. They had a good selection of curry dishes and various soups and appertizers on the menu.

crab rangoon, Golden Tofu

I visited Basil Thai for a girls night and had a nice experience! Overall, I didn't have any issues with my visit. Truthfully, I would say none of the dishes I had were memorable. It was a pretty average Thai experience all around. However, the dessert was very delicious! We got the Thai Custard with Sticky Rice at the waitress' recommendation, and we all were very pleasantly surprised.

Chicken fried rice, sweet and sour chicken

Dined for lunch today and it was wonderful! Service was excellent and can't wait to go back and try more fresh sushi!

Mixed Vegetables with Beef

I ordered Pad Thai with chicken and Mixed Vegetables with beef both dishes mild because my husband doesn't like spicy and they were both tasteless. We barely ate any of it they were so bland. The beef in the Mixed Vegetables looked like it had been boiled, and the veggies were fresh but flavorless. The Pad Thai noodles were mushy and tasteless, and the chicken barely had any taste, the dish had some fresh bean sprouts and green onions along with some type of crumbs on top, but this did nothing to improve the taste. I've ordered mild Thai food in a lot of restaurants, but it still has a lot of flavor, not at Basil Thai. I would never recommend this restaurant.

I have to agree with another reviewer that take out/delivery portions are too much for the price. With tip and everything a Basil for 19.00 with chicken should be amazing or larger. The rice container was maybe 2/3 full. It tasted good but not amazing. More vegetables would have been easy way to make it more filling.

Masaman Curry, terrible, watery
John M.

As far as Thai places, this has to be one of the worst I've had in the area. The only saving grace from a one star review was their crab rangoon which were actually pretty good. I can't express the disappointment with this place after spending almost $130 via DoorDash to feed my family this past weekend for what I thought would be a good Thai meal. I've eaten Thai all across the USA and every once in a while I encounter a restaurant like this where the curry for whatever reason is more water than curry. I don't know if they purposely do this to try and cut down on expenses but I'm used to my Thai curry having flavor. I can't recall a time when I've been more disappointed with a meal and I felt like I was robbed of my money. On to the dishes: **** Crab Rangoon - actually really good * Chicken Panang - if you like chicken and veggies in a watery soup, this is for you * Chicken Massaman - see Chicken Panang notes * Khao Soi - usually very flavorful noodle curry soup but alas tasted like water * Nam Tok - spicy beef salad, flavor wasn't bad but ruined by extremely fatty chunks of beef I won't be back.

Pad-See-Ewe, absolutely delicious!

Food was just ok. Very slow service, probably understaffed by a couple. Overall low value for the price.

Have dined here a number of times - both dine in and take out. Service has been friendly and the…read morefood has been good. I believe the food tastes significantly better than Kyoto, just down the street. It's a good bit cleaner inside too. However, on take out orders, be prepared to wait. 4x takeout and the order has NEVER been ready even close to when promised. Tonight said 35 minutes. Approaching an hour now and no signs of being ready.... So if you're interested in takeout here, (the food has been good) I suggest you show up 30 minutes after the promised time... even after putting in review still not ready....

We are in Mason OH for a sporting event and my daughter was craving sushi. After a quick search on…read moregoogle and Yelp she found this restaurant and based on the reviews decided to check it out. It's located in a strip mall next to Kroger. It's a smallish restaurant that has six 4+ top tables and a sushi bar. When we arrived we were immediately greeted by a nice woman who was also our waitress and prepared food. The menu included some basic sushi rolls, a few speciality rolls, hibachi items, rice bowls and appetizers. It's small but includes a lot of classics. We ordered two house salads, miso soup, gyoza, crab Rangoon, spicy tuna roll, tempura California roll, and Thai boba tea. (We were hungry!) We had read a few reviews that service was slow but we had the opposite experience. The food came out extremely fast! Our salads and soup arrived first and then almost everything arrived at once, hot and fresh! The restaurant only had 2 other seated tables but they had a fair amount of togo orders while we were waiting. Let's start with salad and soup - traditional hibachi type salad and soup. The salad had the dressing on the side in cute heart shaped bowl. The soup was traditional and was hot and tasty. Next up appetizers - the menu didn't indicate the gyoza was deep fried but it was very good too. Crispy on the outside and moist and filling in the middle. The crab Rangoon had been mentioned in previous reviews and I'm so glad we tried it. It's on the sweeter side but filling is very creamy with pieces of imitation crab. I'd recommend them both. Finally onto the rolls - my daughter loved her California tempura roll - packed with traditional California roll filling and perfectly fried. My spicy tuna roll was extremely delicious, a little spicy and packed with flavor. Our total was $45, but we had a really great and extremely filling meal. I'd highly recommend dining in or ordering togo. Service was excellent and our waitress was so nice. One last detail, they have wooden chairs with smiley faces cut out.
