Thai Basil is a good choice for solid Thai food in Novi! The menu has the standard Thai fare that…read moreyou'd expect and the addition of Sushi is an interesting complement to it as well. Overall the food quality is good, and you do get a fair portion for the price -- it's a touch on the pricey side, but really not bad in terms of the 2022 market. Ordering takeout from here is a breeze and picking up is easy as well -- I especially appreciated that they went the extra step and added an extra plastic sealing bag for my dish that had curry in it so it wouldn't spill inside the paper bag. Overall I'd recommend Thai Basil if you're looking for Thai food in Novi! There are a lot of the options in the area, but I think Thai Basil makes a good case for itself if you're looking for solid local takeout.

Trash Food, Trash Service - Stay Away…read more Another so-called "highly rated" Asian restaurant serving up straight garbage. Let me save you the mistake I made. The food? Disgusting. The service? Even worse. I called to report the awful meal I received, and instead of any kind of accountability, the woman I spoke to told me it was my problem. No apology, no solution just pure attitude and blame-shifting. Classy. Let's talk about the food: * Sweet and Sour Chicken: A soggy, inedible mess. The chicken was drowning in sauce, so saturated the breading slid off like wet paper. Ever had meat slide out of mush? Now I have. Absolutely vile. * Crab Rangoon: Not crispy. Not even close. Rubbery, stale, and lazy. Like someone microwaved it and hoped no one would notice. * Egg Roll: Same story rubbery Zero crunch. Zero flavor. Zero effort. * Wonton Soup: Greasy, flavorless broth with gummy, overcooked wontons that tasted like they'd been soaking in hot water for hours. You'd get more taste chewing a napkin. I live less than two miles away, so don't even try to blame the drive. If your food can't survive a 5-minute trip, you shouldn't be in the takeout business. And when I asked to return the meal? I was told to "throw it in the trash" because they weren't offering a refund or credit. The only honest thing they said all night because that's exactly where this food belongs. Do yourself a favor skip this place. The food is trash. The service is trash. The entire experience was a waste of time, money, and appetite. They clearly don't care about quality or customers. Shameful.

But we have tried other things on the menu and they are all authentic and very tasty. The Tom Yum soup is authentic and always piping hot with plenty for left overs.

Service is always with a smile. Good value. For $42-46 we have appetizers, soup and 3 main courses with left overs. Park behind the shops below the railroad track. The restaurant is in the alley.

The sauce was a tad too sweet. They have a random Chinese specials menu that isn't even real Chinese food. So random! The place is old and outdated. I'm not sure I'll be back.

A friend and I had planned to have sushi at a nearby restaurant, but the wait was too long,…read moreespecially since she was facing a long drive home. So we wandered over to this Thai restaurant; it had a 4.7-star rating. Sometimes, we are just lucky. Even though it was early evening, the restaurant was still bright from sunlight streaming through the blinds. We were the first guests of the evening; the restaurant remained relatively empty during our visit. This is unfortunate, given the lovely meal we had. We took our time to review both the dinner selection and the specials after ordering the tofu Todd, fried tofu served with chili sauce. There were so many items I would order, crab rangoon, apple salad, all types of noodles, and peanut curry. I typically order Pad Thai, flat rice noodles with tofu, scrambled eggs, bean sprouts, and crushed peanuts. However, as a fan of all things pineapple, I went with the pineapple-curry seafood instead. It was fantastic, full of veggies (red and green bell peppers and onion) and seafood (shrimp, squid, and imitation crab) in a sweet-tasting, creamy sauce. My friend ordered the pad bai kra pow, an amazingly fragrant dish with basil, Thai chili peppers, and shallots, topped with a fried egg. It was served with either minced chicken or pork. I will order this the next time I'm here. Both dishes were served with rice. Service was helpful and professional.

It was a little after 1:00 and there were only 2 tables with people, which seemed kind of odd. I ordered hot tea, for which they charged $2. Not a lot, given what other restaurants charge for tea, but at most Asian restaurants, tea is complimentary. I ordered chicken pad thai, and I was told that they were including complimentary soup (which makes up for the charge for tea, I suppose). I got the Tom Yum soup, and it was very good. When my pad thai came, it tasted off; the peanuts were rancid. I mentioned it to the server and she said they fried them A WEEK AGO! No wonder they were rancid! She offered to have it remade, and I said ok & to leave the peanuts off. It was better the second time, but not the best I've had. It also seemed that the prices were kind of high for the lunch menu. While I thought the service was pretty good, I just was not impressed with the food, so I won't be coming back.

The crab Rangoons were okay, triangles here, the wonton is hard on the corners, lots of cheese, zero crab essence. The chicken lettuce wrap was okay. Not super flavorful, but edible. The Pad Thai Curry was good, although not even medium spicy, let alone Thai hot. The Pad Prik was not medium spicy and was rather lack luster and had way too many onions. It was underwhelming to say the least.

Rice!

Let me start by saying, THIS FOOD HAS NO REASON BEING THIS GOOD!!!…read more Growing up our families owned Thai restaurants so I'm very particular about my Thai (Asian food in general). This tasted like home. I think the best feature for myself is that the curries are made with half and half and not coconut milk. I'm allergic to coconut so it was always hard having others Thai food. The pineapple curry was so yummy. It was full of flavor and very filling. The spring rolls were full of filling and not just wrap. The sweet chili fried rice was also a good sweet and spicy. Next time I'm going to try the pho because I seen it on someone else's table and it smelt so good. The setting of the restaurant is very quaint and nice. Not too big, but not small. A perfect spot to sit and have lunch if you want some. The prices are very reasonable for the area. I think they have some of the best prices if I'm being honest. Everything is quality and they are halal certified as well. The service, cannot forget that, was amazing too. The person at the counter really helps you with ordering if you're new to this type of food or confused of what to eat today! Please support this business, I promise you'll love it!
