    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

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    Shrimp pineapple fried rice

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    Come in town all the time and stay at Blue Ash hotels. Great choice and much better than Chinese. Good portions for the money.

The crème brûlée is outstanding chicken teriyaki is what I get every time. It's delicious. Sometimes the chicken needs to be cooked a little more. I like it crispy but overall it's wonderful.

Good food, quickly racked up a giant bill…read more So, when Kawa opened in Hyde Park and Loveland (is that Loveland or Montgomery?) we weren't in a rush to visit. Man, we should have come sooner. We were aiming for dim sum a couple doors down, but they were slammed and had no out of the way place to wait. So, we walked a few yards and went into Kawa. Tablets are used to order appetizers, drinks, etc. All delivered by a robot or a train on a track above the conveyor. The sushi itself, along with other items like dessert, rolls by constantly. The best part, pricing is clear. Everything on the belt is $3.45 per plate, subject to change, of course. The sushi was fresh and the portions were in line with the prices. If you've never had conveyor belt sushi or you just want to try something a little unique to the Cincinnati area, Kawa is the place. While this location is a little out of the way for us, Hyde Park is a quick drive and we will return.

    I had been paged to the Kings Mills Hospital (chaplain) on a Sunday around lunchtime. Once I was…read moredone at the hospital, I was so hungry and had been craving Chinese food. Without any Chinese food options, Tokyo Hibachi & Sushi Buffet was across the street and I decided to give it a whirl. As it was a Sunday afternoon, the price was the same as dinner - $25.99. I had never been there before so I was greeted and it was explained to me how they worked. One thing that wasn't explained was that the hibachi portion wasn't part of the all you can eat. My issues with this was that there was no rice or noodles elsewhere with your typical Asian food buffet items. Actually, the options aside from Sushi, the one-time hibachi, and dessert were somewhat limited. It started with chicken nuggets, mozzarella sticks, etc. There weren't many options on just the buffet part. On top of that, a lot of the food was out. The soup Options were Egg Drop and Miso. The Miso soup was not my favorite. It was missing something. I love miso soup I get at hibachi grills, but this one missed the mark. There was no salad or options like that. Even the sushi part of the buffet was out of a lot of stuff. I've never tried sushi. I did try some of the fruit sushi they had and it was good. I will say that the foods I did get to eat were delicious. I did ask if I could get some more fried rice and they did get that for me. I appreciated that very much. I didn't feel like I got my money's worth of food because so much food was out. Also, I probably could have built up my hibachi bowl more, but I didn't know it was a one time thing. I would like to go back and try this place again in hopes that the nugget would be better stocked. The service was great and the food was delicious.

I would try it again, but would probably seek out a different place to try first to compare. First, I found the ordering process a bit confusing. Their website advertises BOGO rolls but it's unclear how the second roll is taken off the bill. I was expecting to see a second roll deducted from my bill but didn't, so I called and found out that there is a plus icon under every roll that indicates a second one. I could see this after that, and it made sense. I was coordinating an order for 6 adults so there were several different rolls in our order plus all the free ones. When we picked up the food to split, it was all on one giant platter. This was fun (and I'm glad it saved waste) but we couldn't tell which roll was which and which was the second free one. I wish I would have known to ask for takeout containers to split up the extra also. Another note about the ordering- there is nowhere on the website to enter a pre-set pickup time (only default 25-30 minute option) so you'd have to either order right before pickup or call the restaurant like I did to change the time on your order. I also ordered vegetable fried rice and green gyoza. The fried rice was good but not great. It was hot and fresh, but just not as flavorful so I topped it with more of my gyoza sauce. The green gyoza were not good. The skin was dry and stiff, and the inside was a starchy filling, almost like chickpea or another starchy bean. It was not the soft wrappers with smooth fresh filling I expected, and I was bummed cause I was looking forward to them so much. Our order was on time and the restaurant had easy parking and entry. But besides that, I found all of the aspects of this takeout experience to be just okay.
