Yummm! Stopped in to get some boba drinks for our friends to take to go. We got about 4 drinks honeydew lychee and thai tea. Everything was fresh delicious and the drink portion size is huge. The lady was nice to give us a carrier and let us use their bathroom. Overall it came out quick service was nice the place was clean organized and we saw a lot of others ordering food. So next time we're in Capitola I'd like to come back and try the food!! read more

One of the best dinners in the Santa Cruz area. No one else was here, yet it felt comfortable and safe. Amazing service, even better food. Yummy boba tea and Vietnamese Coffee. I ordered the Pad See Ew and it was perfect texture and flavor. Crab Rangoons were the best I've ever had and came out right away, yet fresh. Pho was great and very comforting. Overall, an amazing experience even without the beautiful view that we would've seen if it were not dark outside. read more

On a whim, I decided to stop by and take a gander at the menu. One of my favorites was available: chicken Pad-Se-Ew. It was made to order and took about ten minutes. When it came, it was piping hot. There were lots of pieces of chicken which I appreciated, thick chopped carrots, zucchini, broccoli, and some bok Choy, and scrambled egg. The sweet black bean sauce was too lite for me; I needed more flavor. I would come back again and try other dishes to see if my rating would change. read more

the people are so nice and the FOOD IS DELICIOUS. I did not get tons of dishes like i wanted since i'm broke, but i had the Pineapple curry, Beef Pho, and the Fried Calamari and they were amazing. The pineapple curry was a bit too spicy for me, but it didn't matter. I can't handle eating Takis so if you can handle that, you're good to go! Restaurant has so much natural light, the decorations were cool, and the tables doesn't seem to be too close to each other that you could hear other people's conversations as much. everything was clean and non sticky. be nice to the workers! thanks! read more

I had just got off work and I was hungry. I decided to step into My Thai Beach even though I have had a bad experience with them before. I thought they may have improved a bit. Unfortunately, they have gotten worse if that's even possible. First off, the whole place is very dirty and crowded with junk. They really need to get the place deep cleaned. It is all very unsanitary. Second of all, I had seen a sign out front for $2.25 veggie egg rolls. I thought it meant $2.25 for one order of egg rolls. So I ordered what the sign said. However, when I received my order, it was one tiny egg roll smaller than my finger (see photo). It was a big rip off! The egg roll was good, but not worth $2.25. It tasted and looked like the ones you get at Costco in the bulk section. Not very happy. On top of it all, it took 15 minutes for me to get my one small $2 egg roll. I will not be back until they make some major changes. read more

We ordered take-out from here for the first time today. I would eat here again--but I would definitely go for "mild" on their spicy scale. I ordered medium spicy Pad Thai and it was inedible after a few bites. I had to toss it out, unfortunately--the heat kept building with each bite until it was unbearable and the food's flavor completely lost. I'm no hot-pepper-contest guy but in most groups of people I eat with, I tend to be more tolerant of spicy food than most. Quality and service were fine for what it is, but just be aware of that. read more

I ordered the Pho seafood soup: The salmon wasn't pink, it looked very grey so, I put the salmon into a paper towel I had and threw it away! Shocking? Oh, yes, it was shocking seeing grey salmon in my Pho seafood soup! Furthermore, I pretty much had to "doctor" my Pho seafood soup because it was very bland; I went to the front counter grabbing the soy sauce and began dousing my Pho soup trying to improve the blandness. Sadly, adding soy sauce to my Pho seafood soup didn't help at all so, I asked the waiter for a "to go" container. Happily at my campsite, I finally got the Pho seafood soup's taste perfected! I ate all of it, minus the salmon which I promptly threw into the trash can outside the restaurant~HAH!

Sure there are good Thai restaurants in Santa Cruz but they are what you would expect at any decent Thai eatery...But Thai Basil Is So Much Better than those other Thai restaurants! Rather small and unassuming, Thai Basil takes the normal Thai dishes and bumps them up several notches, serving you cuisine that is different from what you've gotten used to, from other Thai places! All of their dishes are unique, as they are so delicious and fresh, tasting like you're eating at a Thai home, rather than a restaurant! And in a way, you are. Thai Basil is a Family Run business that serves family recipes, as opposed to traditional restaurant dishes. Each dish looks and tastes different from what you might expect. The sauces explode with flavors of fresh herbs, spices and freshness that only comes from a family's favorite home recipes, cooked and prepared traditionally! Thai Basil is so definitely a "family affair"! Mom & Dad prepare the meals, (from their own recipes) while their daughter and son wait on tables. The more I went to this cafe, it became obvious that this was becoming a Capitola favorite too! You will see many locals eating here, store owners, city workers and law enforcement officers, filling up on the amazing Thai family food! So, my recommendation is that you get over to Thai Basil and eat like you're part of the family!

Inside of restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. Service was fast and friendly 1. Tom kom soup - 2/5 lots of broth with only chicken and onions which was not as great as what we've had at other Thai places 2. Basil chicken 5/5 delicious would definitely order again 3. Curry 3/5 was bland compared to other places 4. Pad Thai 3/5 lightly seasoned and not as good as other places we have tried Since it was our 1st time visiting and I always think that maybe it was just an "off day" we will probably visit again and try other dishes since the basil chicken was so good.

Really great Thai food, and one of the few that serve Mieng Com, which is difficult to find. Yum,…read moreYum.

Normally Sabieng is my favorite Thai spot in Santa Cruz! I've loved everything I've ordered…read more.. until today. The pad Thai was very sweet and one note, it needed some heat, or more peanuts, or lime, just something other than sweet. My noodles were also extra al dente, which made it difficult to chew. The prawns were great though as usual though! I wouldn't recommend this pad Thai. Hoping it was just a one off.
