    Love their fried rice. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. This place never disappoints.

    Love everything about this place! The food never disappoints. The staff are always friendly.

    Pad Kee Mow with Beef
    Tess P.

    The spring rolls were really good. I had the waitress surprise me and she brought out the Pad Kee Mow with Beef. It was definitely interesting. I love rice noodles but to be honest, the dish smelt like urine. I couldn't finish it because of this. I will definitely give this place another chance because it all depends of what you order and what ingredients are used. The service was good. The thai tea was good. I will be back...to probably get curry next time!

    Papaya Salad

    The coconut boba was probably the best boba I've ever had! I like how they serve the papaya salad with noodles and lettuce to do wraps! It was good. Their Thai spicy is definitely Thai spicy! Sometimes I find places don't make it super spicy. My husband had pho and it was delicious too!

    I am a big time pho lover! This is one of my fav spots to go! My hubby always gets some kind of rice or noodle dish too and loves it!

    I'm a big fan when it come to pho and I always go to this place since I'm new in town and I moved here from Nola. This is pretty close to my new place but today I ordered combination pho with an extra tendon, as you can see in the picture this would be a regular amount of what you get if you order combination in Nola but I'm shock to fine out this is what I paid for an extra $3 dollars and I'm myself sous chef and this is ridiculously expensive for just another two pieces of beef fat!

    These days, it seems like the American market for Thai restaurants is over saturated. Whether you're in New York City or a Main Street in Wyoming, there will always be a McDonald's, a Starbucks, and some sort of Thai restaurant. Understandable, though, considering Thai is a delicious cuisine, and more importantly, it is extremely difficult to make badly. That's why, when there is a Thai restaurant that somehow isn't good, it's automatically a massive disappointment. Basil, fortunately, doesn't bare that fate. This restaurant deep in the small beach town of Long Beach, MS, is great for a couple reasons. For one, the food was superb. I ordered the Pad Thai Beef, a standard I tend to order to compare my Thai restaurants, and I found this dish extremely satisfying. The portions were large (which I prefer) and the noodles had just the right amount of sauce on them that made me take down every bit with no hesitation. The service was also excellent, with the waiter being kind and the food coming out extremely quickly. My only main issue with the restaurant was the interior ambience. It was very bright and it simply seemed to me they took a Thai restaurant and placed it inside what used to a Fro-Yo shop. If the interior design seemed a bit more authentic and welcoming, this would be a five-star establishment, for everything else was stellar. Despite the amount of Thai restaurants popping up around the country, the cuisine really never does get old, and when you do it right like Basil, you do it really right.

    It looked delicious but, both the pork chop and shrimp were undercooked.

    The pho was delicious!!! I got it door dashed and they packed it all up perfectly so I could still have rare beef. It was good and easy!

    My all-time favorite place for pho and chicken curry. Service is always fast, and just the coolest little business with great portions.

    We would love to try this place but my son has a peanut allergy. Is there a way to order without peanuts? Is it a strong chance of cross-contamination?

    There is a way to order without peanuts. But if your son is highly allergic to peanuts I honestly would not suggest other food on our menu coz some of them we handle peanuts and cook with peanuts. Thanks you

    Super friendly service and great food! A lot to choose from on the menu! Good lunch spot!read more

    This is a unique and interesting restaurant. As we pulled up. I noticed a lot of cars in the front…read more Which is understandable. It was during lunch time. Plenty of parking. Quite easy to find. We luck out, as lunch time rush was ending. Several tables opened up and we had choices on where to sit. You seat yourself and as soon as you sit down. We opted for a booth instead of a table. Table looks great and padding on bottom and with hard wood backing. Booth has but more cushion. Either both bottom and back padding. Plenty of tables. In the main lobby or in next room. They have a large flat screen TV that is wall mounted in the corner. The lovely waitress will be happy to come by and greet you. She handed us the menu and asked if we have any questions about it. She made a few recommendations and took our drinks order. Start out with a sweet tea and Thai tea. It was lunch time and was not very hungry but wanted to get something to hold us over till later that evening. And suggested that we try some soup/pho. She said it will fill you up and leave satisfied. Just do not do the super side bowl. You will not be able to finish it. Started out with the Pho Dac Biet (Pho dac biet is a Vietnamese translation for all kinds of special beef variations such as raw sliced steak, beef tripe, brisket, tendons, and Vietnamese meatballs) and rounded out with the Pho Tom (Pho tom is a delightful Vietnamese dish that perfectly combines succulent shrimp, tender rice noodles, and a rich, aromatic broth.) she asked if we would love to have fresh chili? And the other condiments are already on the table for your convenience. She quickly came back with fresh chili sauce and the fresh vegetables. She mentioned that soup will be out shortly. She quickly brought the soups. The aroma of the broth was amazing! Came out good. I noticed that my broth could use a little bit more than the usual sauce to enhance the flavor. However, I made the mistake of adding a bit too much chili sauce. It ended up being too spicy. It was still good. Just over did it a bit. It was good. It was just the right amount. Left full but satisfied. When you are done. Feel free to come to the register at the main lobby to pay. She mentioned that if you wish to save few dollars. She suggested that you pay cash instead of card to avoid the hassle of credit card fee to run it. No Wi-Fi I can see and feel free to reach out if they offer military discount.
