The ambiance here was nice and the service was pretty good. However, this definitely was not my favorite Thai food in the area. The veggie spring rolls were good and had a nice sauce with them. The pad Thai had a decent flavor, but definitely had a lot more tamarind than I'm used to and was way too acidic. I liked how saucy it was but just wish it had been more of the traditional pad Thai flavor. read more

Thai basil service was amazing. The server was attentive and never let my water go down. I love that kind of service because they really want you to enjoy your meal and want for nothing. The Thai coffee and tea were perfectly balanced in terms of sweet and caffeinated. The chicken basil stir fry had a healthy portion of chicken and wasn't just bogged down with onions. I loved that!! The flavors of this were intense in the right dosage and the sauce from the chicken was so rich I wanted to just drink it! But for the sake of being poised and proper I just poured it on my rice. The dumplings and the sauce were also delicious!! The prices were more than fair for the portions you got, I still had plenty for leftovers. I would recommend Thai basil to anyone wanting a cozy and even romantic setting for a date night or a yummy affordable spot for lunch with friends and family. read more

First, the food is excellent, the staff is curteous and it is well decorated. The menu is HUGE! The name in front of the restaurant includds "brewery" but they only have 4 beers, which includes a good IPA. I tried a Tamp Roll which I liked! Try it, it is worth it! read more

I had the egg roll appetizer and Green Chicken Curry. Both were outstanding! I could make an entire meal out of the egg rolls. This was some of the Thai I've had coast-to-coast. My only complaint was the service. I saw her just 3 times. She disappeared for a while, and there were only 2 customers read more

Lunch service was okay. Had the pad see ew dish. They don't use snow peas, which enhances the flavor. Server was attentive.

I ordered food for takeout with my GF for an at home date night. I got the pad Thai and I loved it. It's a bit more "saucy" than other pad Thai I've had. I liked it a lot. It's my favorite pad Thai I've had in the area. My GF got the Massaman Curry and she let me try it. It was VERY good. We both like a decent amount of spice in our Thai dishes also and they did the spice level well. The steamed dumplings were also delicious. My GF was not a fan of the summer rolls due to the peanut sauce being "different" than it usually is. Over all this is our new fav Thai place to get take out at since our last fav place burned down. RIP T'asia read more

Excellent service! The food was amazing. The lady at Thai is very thoughtful and nice!

Ordered Pad Thai from door dash. Food was fresh, properly cooked and large portion. However, this was not Pad Thai. I immediately tasted spicy ketchup. This was more like Steak 'n Shake ketchup chili sauce (without beans) with peanut crumbles. It was edible if you like spicy ketchup sauce. Thumbs down! read more

We went recently after going 3 other times, they have changed the menu. My husband ordered sweet n sour chicken and I ordered the chicken Prik King, neither of us cared for these dishes that we had ordered previously, something had changed. We also ordered pork egg rolls, they tasted like they had been cooked in fish oil, I guess if you like fish that would have not been so bad. We will be looking for a new Thai restaurant read more

Very small Thai restaurant which is very popular with the locals in the area. Service is fabulous. The food was super fresh. We started with hand rolls and fried chicken wings with chili sauce. The hand rolls were stuffed with eel and a very nice portion. The wings were fresh out of the fryer and the chili sauce made a nice touch to the hot wing. Tuna roll had a large portion of sushi in each roll and was very fresh. The poke bowl was packed solid with fresh sushi, edamame, seaweed salad, white rice, and salad. The beef salad Was very flavorful and large portion of beef however, the spicy sauce is a lot so if you don't like your lettuce swimming I would ask for it on side Parking is super tight but there is a dry cleaner next door that you can park at during dinner hours They take credit card They do a large take out business too We will definitely be back read more

Absolutely the worst Thai food in the country go back to your home country and learn how to cook then come back

Good Thai food. This was the most flavorful food I've had since my arrival to Clearwater beach and needed a good meal so I left the beach and this is what I found. The servers were nice and inquisitive about where we were from. Good food. Good service. My belly is happy. read more

Haven't been to this Thai Basil in years. Ended up here because they were the only ones open this early on a Sunday. This menu is different than the one further down on W. Bay Dr. We were surprised to see there is no longer Sushi on it and the prices are different. The restaurant was virtually empty at noon on Sunday so the service was excellent. I ordered the vegetables in sweet-and-sour sauce and this was a disappointment. The vegetables were so hard I could barely chew them. I ended up taking most of it home with me so it couldbe re-cooked. Today is Tuesday and I can't honestly remember what my friend ordered but he ate it all so it must've been good. I ordered wonton soup as an appetizer and there were lots of vegetables in it, which surprise me, but they too were hard as rocks and I couldn't chew those either. I think we'll be going to the other Thai Basil restaurants in the future. read more

Appetizers were good and service was prompt n pleasant and ambiance was lovely Thai richness of color and decor. Serving plates and dishes were all so beautiful!!! This is a favorite place to come. So much to choose from a well organized menu of delicious curries and fresh veggies n light sauces, etc. read more

It's been quite a while since we had last eaten here, like 10 years. They are located on the south side of East Bay Dr. just east of Belcher Rd. The interior is neat and tidy. It wasn't crowded on the Friday night we were there. For appetizers, we started with soup: the Tom Kha Kai and the Tom Yum with shrimp. The Tom Kha was too thin and flavorless. The Tom Yum was nice but a little heavy on the heat. We also ordered the Angel Wings and Som Tum (papaya salad). The Angel Wings were very tasty as was the papaya salad. Both were the high point of the meal. For entrées, we ordered the Duck Curry and the Pad Thai with chicken. The Duck dish had a Panang curry sauce that was flavorless and the duck was a very small over-cooked portion. However, the Pad Thai was great! The noodles were perfectly cooked and the dish had all the right flavors. As a heads-up, all dinners come with a complimentary literal cup of chicken and rice soup which was very good. We had a good meal however the standouts were the Angel Wings, Papaya Salad and the Pad Thai. For what we ordered, it was quite a pricey meal. The restaurant has a very small staff of one person but she was very friendly and attentive. read more

The best Thai food in the area!!! By far best pad Thai we've had. So glad we found this spot!

This place has consistently solid Thai food. I always go back for the red curry chicken, and it's a lot of food and a really great portion of vegetables. The fried rice is also very good and VERY flavorful. I love to drown my rice in soy sauce and yum yum sauce, but theirs is so flavorful it needs nothing. I read more

I ordered dinner to be delivered. Tampa sushi, just about the grossest sushi Ive ever eaten. Then fried tofu was greasy and sause was flavorless. The steam dumplings tasted like they were frozen. I was so dissatisfied with this restaurant. Never will I order from there again. read more

I have been coming here for over 20 years ! Even though I moved an hour away , I still come to get my fix of the best Thai in the tampa Bay Area .

I've had Thai Basil for lunch a handful of times since working from home and it always hits the spot. They get my order done pretty quick and if you don't want to take out or dine in, they're also on Doordash! Anyways, if you know me, you'll know I absolutely love Thai food. I am Filipino but there's always something about a good thai dish that just warms my soul and makes me feel like I'm home. My favorite thing to order from their lunch menu is chicken Pad Thai (medium-level spice) and Tom Kha Kai (A coconut-based chicken soup w/ mushrooms. Try it, you won't regret it.) Big lunch portions for under $10! Definitely give them a try. read more

I usually order the pineapple chicken fried rice and house egg rolls. Consistently delicious and always good portions of high quality chicken. My favorite Thai restaurant in the area. read more

The reason I am giving 2 stars is I walk in to place an order during lunch . It was a few good minutes before I was greeted. When I was, I informed her I wanted to place an order to go. She asked if I knew what I wanted, and I shook my head yes. She then, as I just started to speak, answered the phone. She stated she was sorry when she finished the call and then again shunned me and answered the phone again. I tell her what I wanted she rings it up and then charges my card twice. She stated she voided one but will see on that. The food was okay it was nothing spectacular. The ginger chicken was dried, and fired tofu was horrible. The only good thing were the Rangoons. So for this, they get 2 stars read more

This was bar none the best green curry I've ever had. And I have had a lot. The sauce was so creamy and delicious. My friend had the basil curry tofu and said it was also phenomenal. Another friend had the pad Thai and wanted to go back again for dinner that same day. Our server was super fun and prompt. Don't pass this place up if your in the area! read more

The best Thai food I've e have had since moving to Florida. We had the house egg rolls, Panang curry, crab rangoons, Tom kha soup, Tom yum soup, spicy basil noodles, and thai chicken wings. I wish there were more veggies and protein in the curry and noodle dish and that is hey weren't cust as large and next time I would definitely order the wings 'crispy' as the skin was soggy. Other than that I will definitely order from here again as the food tasted DELICIOUS! read more

Went here with a friend of mine recently and am so glad I did. I absolutely love thai food, and this place did not disappoint. There was hardly anyone in the restaurant at all for a majority of our meal, which was nice obviously because of Covid. The waitress was very nice and attentive. I loved the booths as you felt like you were in a little hut while seated. I got my usual pad se ew and it was SO good! Prices were also very reasonable. Will definitely be returning soon. read more

The restaurant is small and cozy, with friendly staff. The complimentary chicken and rice soup was great. The presentation of the pork egg rolls was beautiful, and they were flavorful, too. The chicken panang curry was perfect. The vegetables were tender, the chicken was cooked well, the broth was extremely flavorful, and there was plenty of tasty basil. Truly one of the best curries I've ever had. Also, the portion was huge and the white rice was cooked perfectly. This is truly one of the best Thai restaurants in Pinellas county. read more

About a million thai restaurants closer to where I currently live but I will continue to come back to this hole in the wall as I have for 5 years now. Some people likely won't come here due to its outside appearance but it is definitely worth it. Their Pad Thai is probably my favorite of the hundred or so that I've tried. They also out perform other restaurants on common thai staple menu items. Their egg/veggie rolls are more flavorful. Their satay sauce more peanut-y. The soups are hearty and they dont skimp on ingredients. End your night with the fried banana and you'll definitely be back. read more

Pretty good food. Ordered the spring rolls a d they were good but different. Also ordered the pad-see-u and pad Thai. I was hoping to get tofu but they offered shrimp and chicken for this dish. The pad-see-u was a little burnt so it had yo be recooked. The food was good but I wouldn't say great. Will keep looking!!! read more

Disclaimer: I am a novice when it comes to Thai food. With that said, I have enjoyed what we've ordered here at Thai Basil. As of this review we've been here 3 times, as the 4 stars indicate, yes I'm a fan. I could have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the language problems I've encountered here. This restaurant is located in the middle of a strip mall on the south side of East Bay Dr, about half way between Belcher and US-19. It's not the easiest place to locate. There is a Verizon store and the Philly Cheese Steak drive thru fronting the lot. Our go to dish at any Southeast Asian restaurant ( Thai, Vietnamese, or Chinese ) is the rice. If we don't like it, we probably won't return. Score a big yes for the Combo Fried Rice!! Very flavorful with chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, scallions, and onions. Next is the Thai Pad w/Chicken. Seeing my Bride cannot handle any kind of hot spice, so we order our Thai Pad with no heat. But I must say that by itself it's very tasty, although I do add my own heat to it from the four choices of flavorings that they bring to the table. My wife enjoys the Won ton soup. A lite beef broth, loaded with minced pork, snow peas, mushroom, napa, and won ton wrap. I enjoy the Tom Yum, which is slightly hot and has mushrooms, green onions, with spicy lime juice. On one visit, I was telling our young server what we wanted and there was a definite language problem we were having. I was telling her that I wished Tom Yum soup, not the soup with the coconut milk in it, it just did not sound appealing to me. Well, I got the soup ( Tom Kha Kai ) with the coconut juice. She insisted it did not have coconut juice in it. Finally she saw that it was the wrong soup, but by this time I enjoyed it so much that I told her I'd keep it. Lol, just broadening my horizon again. I also broke my self proclaimed Sushi barrier here. I who never have had sushi, ordered their Philadelphia roll. Smoked salmon, cream cheese, avocado, rice, etc. Yup, I loved it too! Thai Basil is open for lunch and dinner Lunch 11:00am - 2:30pm Mon - Fri Dinner 4:30pm - 9:30pm Mon - Sat Closed on Sunday read more

My 1st time visiting Thai Basil was in 1998, after moving down here for school. I joined the Air Force in 2001, and was stationed in Tampa until the end of 2005. This is my 1st time returning since then. Lily (the owner) has had the best Thai food (specifically almond chicken) I've ever tasted. I'll be retiring to Florida in 5 years. Why? Thai Basil ;-) Lunch menu; try the almond chicken for $7.95, you won't regret it! -Brian read more
