    Green Curry

    WOW! So delicious, lots of protein in each meal. Priced very well, and very generous portions as you can see. We had the green curry & drunken noodles which had very great depth of flavor. The Thai iced tea was THE BEST I've had. It is very sweet, which I enjoy. My boyfriend did say it was a bit too sweet for him :) Very friendly service. The ambiance was relaxed, quiet atmosphere. Very nice for a date night!

    First time at Molly's Thai Ban. Was getting my cell phone fixed in the shopping center. Had an hour to kill so I asked the tech how the Thai Restaurant was? He said he never had Thai food so figured we both would try it. Early weekday lunch so I ordered one of the Chef's Special the Ginger Fantasy. Ordered Drunken Noodles & Chicken to go for the Tech. Not too crowded in the dining room, but they had a lot of food delivery orders coming in. The Ginger Fantasy had chicken, beef, pork and shrimp. Very tasty and needed a to-go box. Delivered the drunken noodles to my tech and left. Menu is large and noticed lots of curry and noodle dishes. First time I saw a Double Thai Hot option for spice level. Only ordered the mild for the Thai Food Novice with the Drunken Noodles. Happy to find a family owned restaurant in the neighborhood. Will try it again. Did my good deed for that day. .

    Thinking about Thai food and gave this place a try. Tried basil fried rice and panang curry. Large portion sizes to start with. They didn't skimp out on veggies or tofu. Pretty good. Taste is good but may not be the best we tried. Panang curry is a bit too sweet. And special thanks for customizing by not adding any animal sauces. Ambiance is simple. Plenty of parking

    Drunken Noodles and Green Curry.

    Food was excellent, the amount of food was amazing I got at least 2 more meals not counting the one I ate at the restaurant and my wife's was the same way. Service is always fast and friendly and Molly herself (she's the owner/cook) will come out (if she's not too busy) and talk with the customers. It's not decorated like the big fancy restaurants they use their money to buy quality food and you can tell. We've been there 4or5 times and it's always been exceptional every time.

    First time trying this place it was honestly pretty decent! I was very happy with the prices and loved the fact that you could order a side peanut sauce for literally 1$!! I have never seen restaurants do that! We got chicken pad medium Thai and yellow curry! Medium as well! I will say pad Thai sauce was a bit salty but with the peanut sauce it helped blend it nicely!

First off...as others have mentioned, parking is a beast for sure. They have a tiny lot and if you go all the in, you have to maneuver to get back out. Ended up finding street parking close by. Next up is finding the front door! Kits a secret entrance for sure with their front door covered in vegetation but once you get it, you get it! Smallish on the inside and can see why reservations are highly recommended. We didn't have any but there were only two of us and we were offered a table out on the patio, which actually was way better than inside. Their patio is the bomb with tons of mirrors and vegetation and they had a portable air unit that provided lots of cool, moving air. They have an extensive drink menu; friend got some moscato which came as a small bottle. She said it was perfect. I just had water which is served in metal cups along with a bottle of extra water and then people are also walking around and filling your cup up as well. Service was impeccable! We both decided on the Pad Thai and an order of the pork dumplings. I am a whimp spice person and the Pad Thai is so spice unless you order it that way. Their menu has so many wonderful options! I wanted to see if I could get a combo of chicken and tofu and our server said there was already tofu in the dish so perfect...just added chicken. I wish I had taken a picture but others that are posted represent well! It was so good with fresh bean spouts, chopped peanuts, and a delicious sauce over rice noodles. Some of the best Pad Thai I have had! And those dumplings? Perfect in every way with a wonderful dipping sauce. We loved all of the unique serving vessels they bring dishes in...presentation was magnificent! Overall a fantastic meal! Can't wait to bring the wife here.

We sat at the bar and the bartender was fantastic and attentive.The music in the restaurant was so good I immediately added Durand Jones to my playlist . The portions are normal , I appreciate that . The rice cakes are delicious. OMGAWD everything was excellent and they've got super spicy upon request too. Prices are slightly higher but it's worth it . Parking is very limited and the place is packed inside and outside . Think , eclectic Thai dive bar and it's definitely a local favorite. Even the front door is hidden .. giving it a speakeasy feel . Highly recommend, will absolutely be back !

I expected the restaurant to be busy during lunch time, but I certainly did not expect how small it is. It felt crammed inside, but no big deal. Parking was also tricky. It's pretty limited, so I had to park a bit further away. In terms of food and service, Thai Basil did a great job. Our server was very patient while we figured out what to order. I went for the Chicken Pad Thai and stuck with water as my drink. I was pleasantly surprised when the food started coming out because I expected it to take longer. I'd say it took about 15 minutes, even during lunch rush. My Chicken Pad Thai was delicious. The serving size was good and it came with a spring roll on the side. The price isn't bad at all either. It was basically $16 after tax for my lunch. I'd definitely come here again on my own.

Parking was easy, but unfortunately the service was the worst part of the visit. I sat down to look at the menu and place a to-go order, only to be told to move to another seat. A simple order of pad thai and spring rolls took exactly 42 minutes. After several follow-ups, no one told me the food was ready until I walked up to the counter myself. Overall, a frustrating experience, and I would not recommend it with other Thai restaurant options nearby.
