    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

    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.

    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.

    Service perfect Food DELICIOUS…read more everything was perfect, i truly appreciate the great customer service they have. Highly recommend!

    I visited here since it was close to my hotel and there just weren't any great restaurants in the…read morearea anyway, plus my colleague likes Thai food. Our experience was ok here. My colleague still found ways to complain, first about the iced tea (supposedly made with tap water) and then about the place not having desserts. They're not listed on the main menu. We later asked and the waitress confirmed they do not have desserts. The closest would be their bubble tea I suppose. I started my meal with a thai tea which was pretty sweet and served in a typical short mug. I ordeed the pad kra pow with beef, level 4 spice. My colleague ordered the pork veggies stir fry with snow pea and baby corn, level 3. When the food came out, my colleagues arrived within about 4 minutes of ordering, his tasted like a level 5 so he thought. Mine came out a couple minutes later and seemed like a level 1. Not sure why mine was so bland and his was so spicy. The beef on my pad kra pow is decent but bland and you don't get very much. Once done, you're left with a big bowl of soup broth basically and lots of bell peppers and onions. There are no diced thai peppers or sliced jalapeños in this dish when ordering level 4. Maybe microscopic red pepper flakes which did not make it spicy. Maybe should have ordered a 5. My colleague seemed to enjoy his dish though. I just wanted something sweet after dinner and this was maybe the first thai restaurant I've ever seen that doesn't offer dessert.

They do not serve sushi and their drink menu is very limited. Food menu is also simple but have a lot to offer. Appetizers, salads, soups, mean entree and sides. You can pick your spice level from 1-5. 5 being the hottest. I made reservations on a Thursday night and invited some of our friends to join us. The restaurant has been there for a very long time and you can tell their clientele is well established. The inside is small but plenty room for dining. We ordered: -Tom yum soup -larb gai -Pad see ew add Tofu -2 Singha Beers We got our food right away and I was blown away with my pad see ew. It had so much flavor and the tofu went so well with it. My Mr and our friends enjoyed their meals as well. What a great experience and I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.

The service is always great, the food always delicious, and the atmosphere is very relaxed. This most recent visit, my lady and I went with some friends for my birthday. I was excited to introduce my friends to the place. Our server, Patchurin, was awesome. For our food, I started with a bowl of tom yum soup, and had the larb gai (spicy Thai chicken salad) as my main. My lady had the pad sea ewe with tofu. I made a few suggestions to my friends since I know the menu pretty well. Everything was just as good as I remembered though I hadn't been in a while. I don't think my lady and I are gonna wait so long to go again.
