I'm currently staying in Sheepshead Bay while apartment hunting in Brooklyn, and I stopped by Thai Basil for takeout after work. I usually don't like placing an order close to closing, but there aren't a ton of options in the area, so I called in my order before their 9:30 PM closing time. They didn't give me any fuss about it, and since it's not a far walk from where I'm staying, I was able to pick it up easily. It was already ready when I arrived. I ordered the Eggplant & Tofu in spicy garlic sauce with rice. It was pretty tasty, and the portion was generous enough to give me at least two meals. I wouldn't say I was blown away, but it's a very solid option if you want something different from the typical Chinese-American takeout across the street. Bonus points for accepting card payments! read more

Thai Basil - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

A good option for take out. Flavors are good. I like ordering the green curry and the glass noodles. Although I do wish the veggies didn't taste like they were previously frozen, but honestly can't complain for a take out only place. This is a place that can satisfy a craving when you need and ordering on uber eats always gets to me within 20 minutes. read more

Worst drunken noodles i have ever had. Papaya salad was stale. Chicken was chewy. Everything going straight in the trash.

it was very good I recommend it and prices are worth it for the size of the portions and every portions is enough for two people. The pad thai , glass nodles and spring rolls with vegetables were all very good and this place was very worth it I recommend this place. read more

Food is horrible - not authentic and super bland. I ordered the mango sticky rice for dessert and got a lumpy coconut soup with hard unripe mango pieces inside. When I complained the waitress gave me a huge attitude and called the manager. The manager was no better, told me that this dish is authentic and I have to pay for it even if I don't like it - ridiculous. Stay far away from here! read more

Thai Basil - This is not "mango Coconut Sticky Rice with Fresh Mango" - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I find myself thinking about this place often. Thai Basil accommodated our party comfortably. We covered the table with different dishes to sample. The employees offer excellent service quality. The cost matches the quality. read more

Don't believe the negative reviews. I've been loyal to this place for years. It's one of the few reliable takeout spots in sheepshead bay. Flavors are right and so are the prices. I've moved away but still always order from here whenever I'm back in the area visiting. No matter what you order, just make sure to get the Crispy Wings as an app. The crispiest I've had and the sauce is a nice touch. The pad Thai is not too watery as some have noted in other reviews. Drunken noodle is also a favorite And would say the Massaman is my go to curry. All in all, the portions are generous, wait time is quick, meals are delicious, and it wont break the bank. Love this place. read more

What?!?!! I paid six dollars for a spoonful of sticky rice! I asked for sticky rice with mango and they literally gave me half of a mango and a dollop of sticky rice. I did not discover this until after I got home due to the weight of the container seeming to be legit. Do not order from here! read more

Really good price for lunch special. The soups also tasty and fresh as well as the dumplings. Fast delivery.

Decided to try this place out despite all the negative reviews. It was definitely a gamble but a friend of my boyfriends said it wasn't as bad as the reviews had put it. We ordered through UberEats and got a chicken pad Thai, chicken pad kee mao (drunken noodles), papaya salad, and Thai crispy chicken wings. Upon receiving our order, everything looked pretty good but I do have to say the chicken pad Thai was indeed on the watery side like some of the reviews had pointed out so that's something to keep in mind. It did get less watery as time went on but definitely saucier than how pad Thai is. The drunken noodles were actually really good and had good flavor to them with the right consistency! I liked the papaya salad as it was refreshing and a good size. The Thai spicy chicken wings were good but honestly tasted like any other Chinese takeout fried chicken. The only different was they provided a sweet and sour sauce but there was nothing Thai about this dish. Portions were big too and we were both stuffed at the end of our meal. Honestly would reorder from here if we ever crave Thai and want something nearby. Yes there are better Thai places but I don't think our experience was as terrible as the reviews had it. read more

Very good for lunch, generous portions. I got an order of wings (crispy and so good), and the beef pad Thai lunch special. It was enough for 2 meals. The salad is literally just lettuce; tomato and cucumber would be nice at least. But overall, a great spot! read more

I have only gotten Thai Basil's food delivered. I have tried Pad Thai from a number of places across New York and Connecticut. I truly believe that this place has one of, if not the best Pad Thai in the tri-state area. This place has ruined Pad Thai for me because every other place gets compared to this and comes up short. I don't usually leave reviews but I genuinely feel Thai Basil deserves it. Their General Tso's Chicken is also out of this world and bursting with flavor and crispiness. The three dishes I almost always get from here are their Pad Thai, General Tso's Chicken, and Cashew King. read more

Small location, but solid food! Unfortunately, there aren't many Thai restaurants in Sheepshead Bay and, in fact, as of 2021, I believe there is only 1 ... yes, ONLY 1 ... because Gata Thai closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately, Thai Basil is a very viable Thai option and will somewhat satisfy your Thai cravings. The restaurant is 100% takeout, pre- and during the COVID-19 pandemic and is conveniently listed on Seamless and Grubhub. Their menu offers a variety of appetizers, soups, your typical Thai rice and noodle dishes, curries and drinks. My family has ordered a few large pickup orders in the past and we usually ordered the same items. I won't list out every one, but I will mention a few observations, both positive and negative. First, generally-speaking, their food is OK. Nothing will blow you away flavor-wise, but nothing is egregiously terrible. As for what's good? You cannot go wrong with the Pineapple Fried Rice, Beef Satay, String Beans or noodle dishes. Also, the curries aren't bad either and go perfect with white rice. On the flip side, I highly DO NOT recommend the Grilled Steak because it is a very "cheap" piece of steak that is way overly cooked and far from tender. In addition, it's considerably more expensive than the other dishes and the serving is very small. For drinks, DEFINITELY go for the Thai Iced Tea - it washes everything down just right. Overall, Thai Basil is an average, local Thai restaurant. Honestly, I preferred Gata Thai over Thai Basil, but Gata Thai was a much, much smaller operation and Thai Basil is more suitable for producing entrees for family-style meals. Unfortunately, Sheepshead Bay is only down to 1 Thai restaurant and all I can say is that it isn't all that bad .... but it isn't all that great either. read more

We had the duck curry with lychee, papaya salad and shrimp pad Thai. The curry was yummy- roasted skin on duck sautéed with peppers and string beans in a yellow sweet curry and a genius addition of lychees! Too bad there were only 4! Lychees in the entire order and we found the veggies to be a bit sparse so the dish was swimming in albeit yummy sauce. The papaya salad was bland and had 2 tomato chunks- completely underwhelming it's cost of even $7. The pad Thai was heavily ladened with a soy, peanut coating that necessitates a side of white rice. I prefer mine much drier but if I had to have it wet, this would be a good option. Overall, a satisfactory meal but costly. Had we not ordered with a steep ubereats coupon (cuz we'd never use UE otherwise w their exorbitant fees), we would not be able to justify Thai Basil's prices. read more

Awesome Thai spot in the area! Despite the low reviews, I took a chance to order from them because I never had a problem with their food before covid. I ordered crispy calamari, beef pad Thai, and beef drunken noodles and this was more than enough for 2 people. The noodle dishes was decently big and filling. The drunken noodles was packed with flavor. The calamari was very crispy. The pad Thai did have some sauce on it but the flavor was there; it's really not bad compared to other places. I personally isn't a fan of any pad Thai because of the stickiness and dryness but I enjoyed their pad Thai. Highly recommend these three dishes from Thai basil.

There's other reviews mentioning this, but the "chicken" is extremely suspicious. I don't leave many reviews, but I just needed to share this. The chicken really did not taste, look, smell, or feel like chicken. It was rubbery, didn't pull apart like chicken, the bite just wasn't right, and something tasted off. I hate to say it but we thought maybe it was some other bird similar to a chicken, like a duck or something- I have zero clue. At first I tried saying that it was maybe the way it was the way it was cooked, but it was really just strange when I found a lump. Me and my boyfriend were equally as confused as to what this meat was. If there's any explanation for this I'd love to hear it, because what I received was not chicken. read more

I ordered from here for the first time when I was picking up food to drop off at a friend's place. She requested pad see yu noodles, and we ordered drunken noodles (pad kee mao). She said her meal was yummy. I enjoyed the drunken noodles and ordered them spicy but they were not really spicy, so if you're looking for a bit more heat, I would order extra spicy from them, since spicy was very moderate. I think it was very flavorful but not like many other kee mao dishes I have ordered. I called in the order and they were fairly quick for pickup. If you can, call them directly, rather than ordering from seamless or grubhub (those apps take 30% from these mom and pop restaurants....) All in all a good dinner! read more

We ordered in from the website. The food was pretty good. The papaya salad was not it, I wouldn't recommend. However, the spicy basil fried rice was . It was rlly good but I wouldn't say it was spicy. The crab rangoons and spring rolls were good. They came hit,fresh, and crispy. Same with the wings they were very crispy,crunchy. The drunken noodles were also really good. Tbh this is place is really tasty if youre looking for a not so expensive place to eat when your in a rush. read more

Delivery was quick. We ordered a tom yum soup with shrimp and we needed to add our own hot sauce to give it flavor and heat. We also got the coconut sticky rice with mango. The mangoes were not ripe yet and the rice didnt mix with the coconut milk so it tasted like microwaved rice dumped in coconut milk. Theres much room for improvement. read more

The food took 1.5 hours to arrive and it was not worth the wait. Tom yum and Tom Kha soups proclaimed to be spicy were absolutely bland. Pineapple fried rice had no flavor at all and the chicken was rubbery. The chicken satay was fine but the peanut dipping sauce was watery and without peanuts and/or flavor. The Mongolian beef was flavorful but very salty. Save your money! read more

Best Thai food in the area. I've been thinking about the food we ordered for weeks now. The pad Thai has a delicious flavor and they don't leave your noodles high and dry. The fried tofu was crunchy and wonderful. The satay was immaculate. The store even has fair pricing - especially for Brooklyn. I've only eaten from here once, but I know for sure I'm coming back! read more

Came here two days ago, for lunch since its near my work. Theres a big selection of noodles/curry dishes. I ordered the Pad Thai lunch box special, which comes with a soda. Waited not too long for the food. Place is pretty big and clean, not your typical chinese takeout places. The lunch box also comes with a spring roll, and salad. Price is decent and the taste wasn't bad. Will be back to try different dishes. read more

Never again Sesame chicken is basically Non edible. All dried out pieces of crap. Soup is bland with no flavor. Vegetable eggrolls are under done.

Should've realized I made a poor choice when the receipt from this "Thai" joint was delivered written in Chinese. Ordered 3 lunch specials. Portions were incredibly small (even for a lunch special). Pad Thai - no peanuts, no lime - bland noodles with a few bean sprouts on top. Massaman Curry - The quart sized container was only half full upon delivery. The curry itself was very bland. Chicken with Thai Garlic Sauce - pretty tasty, actually. The char-boiled flavor of the chicken was a nice touch. The lunch specials were supposed to come with a "garden salad". The "salad" was merely a few pieces of iceberg lettuce. No other vegetables, and no dressing. I wouldn't order from here again, and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I'm getting tired of Chinese places opening as "Thai fusion" places, where the "Thai" food is nothing more than Chinese food trying to pass as Thai. They usually include no traditional Thai ingredients, and the dishes are all incredibly bland. I gave 2 stars instead of one because the Chicken with Thai Garlic Sauce was decent. read more

I wanted to be in love with this place. This is the second time I ever had Thai food. The first was at a location unrelated in Manhattan. (That was excellent and I need to review). The pickings for Thai are limited in this area of Brooklyn during the evening hours and this seemed like the way to go. I had chicken Pad Thai. Though it was okay, it wasn't all that. It was so similar to Chinese Lomein in flavor. I'll give it another try and update again. read more

All this time I thought there was no thai even remotely near me, and turns out there is this gem. Thai take out is all I ever wanted, guess its true what they say dreams do come true. You can order on yelp which made it the whole experience even easier, and the portions here are huge. The crispy calamari - Crispy as the name suggested, flavorful and good sweet chili sauce on the side Pad Thai w Beef - tender beef, good flavor, right amount of spice Masaman curry - perfection, chicken was moist and tender, vegetables were soft, the curry was a perfect mix of sweet, spicy and milky. Overall great experience, excited to try the all the other options they have. read more

via Delivery, 45 minutes L12. Beef with Thai Garlic Sauce Sauteed with garlic, shitake mushroom, zucchini, scallion, bamboo shoot & basil. Lunch special starts at 12:00pm, but they accept my lunch special order when I called at 11:15am. This is my new favorite dish! The beef is nicely seasoned and the thai garlic sauce was very delicious. It wasn't salty, just perfect. The spring roll is always crispy and the ginger dressing is good. I like the shitake mushroom with this dish. read more

Customer service and conflict resolution should live at the very top of every business owner's mind. At Thai Basil it doesn't crack the top 10. I placed a straightforward order through Seamless, as I've done on previous occasions. No issues there. Food arrives and I find out that 2 dishes didn't have the sauces or dressings, stuff that binds all the flavors and tastes. I then find out the avocado salad has been modified, to just avocado and lettuce. Guess I missed that memo. When I called about the missing items, I was told -unapologetically at that- that i should just eat them this time and next time they will bring extra sauces and dressings. WTF? When I asked again the woman on the phone just laughed and said yeah the delivery guy just left. Well no kidding, I thought he was sitting outside waiting for me to finish my meal and give him a review of the food. Jeesh. I get that mistakes happen, but if you treat a customer as an afterthought then you don't deserve my money. There wasn't even an acknowledgement of the error, and that's what burns me the most. I used to order from them on a semi regular basis and always a decent order money wise. Delivery people get tipped beyond what is customary. I don't know what else I can do from a customer perspective. I now will order from the Thai places closest to them just to help drive them out. If a Chinese guy (me) is telling you to avoid this dump, you may want to think about it. The people behind the counter are not Thai. They are Chinese. I've heard them speak Chinese. Choose other options, any option would do. These guys will take your money and then laugh in your face when you get sick or find something wrong with the food. AVOID read more

I've ordered from here only once before, and it was pretty tasty, but this last time was just meh. For a take-out joint, it's in a good spot from the bus routes and it's on my way home from work. Both times I've only ordered their shrimp drunken man noodle, so I can only review for this one dish. This past time the dish tasted more like a chinese chow fun with some spice. Nothing about it tasted anything like Thai should. I'll have to branch out a little more next time, but for now, it's just okay in my book. read more

I've probably ordered delivery at least three times now. It's safe to say, the food is good. I do believe the first time I ordered, it was a little bland. They got better over time!

I think my leftover meal was better than the initial dish read more
