We made reservations first! When we came, there was just one fellow working all the tables. He was very efficient and professional. We got seated in one of the private booths. Very cute seating. I ordered the papaya salad, tofu pad Thai, and some chai tea . everything was fresh and so delicious.. The mango sticky rice desert was pretty, so tasty , fresh and wonderful. thanks do all the hard-working folks who care for us so well & nourish us!! Thank you so much. read more

I came in on a slow weeknight where there was only 1 other patron there, which made for a relatively quiet dining experience. It does have a darker and more intimate atmosphere, which I thought would be a good for dates. The menu was typical Thai cuisine and we started off with the Papaya Salad with peanuts, followed by the Tom Yum soup. The main course consisted of the Kang Phed Ped Duck and Pineapple Fried Rice. The meal was certainly filling and while good, I can't say it was anything that I couldn't taste or get from other Thai restaurants. Perhaps I need to try other dishes. Overall however, this is a decent Thai restaurant to try with friends or a date. It's probably one of the better restaurant choices in this area. I would give it another try if I was in the area again. read more

you need to go here. this food is out of this world. absolutely delicious- from the roti that was soft, crunchy and paired with the most delicious peanut sauce ever. The shrimp pad thai that will never disappoint. and the mango sticky rice that EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET. I have never wanted to recommend a restaurant more read more

I was looking for a Thai restaurant near Rutgers Camden and this place popped up so the first time I ordered take out. It was okay, so I said I would come back and dine in because the restaurant looked nice when I went and picked up my food. Second visit. I went for dinner and parking was very difficult to find so I ended up parking across the street in the Wawa lot hoping my car didn't get towed. The place was pretty empty for dinner. You could tell they do a lot of takeout business. Waitress/Service was good, The food portions are small. The food itself is not flavorful. It's just enough not to be bland. Typical Thai restaurant spicy scale, Get one below what you really want. 1 is a 2, 3 is a 4, etc I've been to quite a few Thai restaurants and this place is below average when it comes to taste. Nice intimate restaurant but I review the food read more

Thai Basil - pad thai with fried tofu - Thai Near Me - Collingswood, New Jersey

Great food & service, reasonable prices, & easy to walk to! My tom kha was lovely-- a bit sweeter than I've had before-- and the mock duck massaman curry was one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. read more

Drunken noodles- the driest drunken noodles I've ever had the displeasure of eating. Roti- I thought it'll be like the Indian roti but it came out different. The roti was more like crispy pancakes- not bad. Curry that came with was good- just very nominal. read more

Ordered Beef Pad Thai, Roti, and Thai Basil Treasure. To my surprise, it was all horrible. The beef in the Pad Thai did not taste like real meat (tasted rubbery and artificial) The Roti was just greasy over-fried bread. There was Absolutely NO peanut, cashew nut or spicy potato masaman curry in it The Thai Basil Treasure was comprised of chicken satay, spring roll, fried tofu, bangkok shu mai, wonton todkrob and Thai chicken curry puff. All of it was dry, greasy, and tasteless. I will not purchase food from Thai Basil again. read more

Second time coming here. Plenty of savory menu options and food was brought out fairly quickly. First time we had some tofu dishes of thai noodles. Second visit we had Pad Thai and Massaman curry: both very savory. The side of rice with the curry was on the smaller side. This place has a quiet, serene atmosphere. There is street parking with some spaces on a time-limited lot on the side. read more

I came during lunch and it was dead! Surprising cause it is in collingswood. I pushed forward and tried it anyways. Service was great, I was the only customer for the first half of my meal, then they got another family and that was it. Everything was clean and quick. Parking is street parking and super cheap for the meter, $1 for 2 hours. The venue itself is larger than it looks, clean bathrooms. Cute seating arrangements. Food: I got the lunch special which is you get to select soup/salad, appetizer, entree. Hard to beat this deal which again was surprising why I was the only one in the restaurant. I got the tom kha soup which was salty! Oh boy, SOO salty, but good amount of protein and peppers, etc. it was not as spicy as I wanted but they have to cater to the general public. The fried tofu was cooked well but the sweet sauce should've been a peanut sauce (my personal suggestion.) would've been more Thai and more appetizer friendly, the current sauce makes it overly sweet like a dessert. Finally the pad kee mau was solid, plenty of protein, cooked well for my liking in terms the noodle consistency. Good portion size. Again, the lunch deal can't be beat. Happy eating! read more

The crab meat drunken noodles from the dinner specials of the day menu were the perfect level of spicy! There was enough noodles to split between two people and since we had an appetizer, we had some noodles leftover. The fried vegetable dumplings had a similar flavor to scallion pancakes which I loved! The outer layer was excellently crisped but there was a doughy layer just beneath. I suggest pairing this dinner with chrysanthemum tea for a bit of sweetness. My husband also liked the blend of sweet and bitter in the Thai iced coffee. read more

My mom and I came back to Thai Basil for a second time and loved it just as much as the first time. We were the first ones in, as we came just as they opened, but it filled up very quickly. The server remembered us instantly and even remembered what we ordered last time! My mom started with a soup that was filled with fresh ingredients. For our main courses my mom ordered the duck special and I got the Tropical Shrimp. Both were perfectly spiced and delicious! Their staff is limited, but all of them do an excellent job making sure every customer is attended to and treated with care. I know we will be back time and time again! read more

Came here this past Saturday with two friends around 6:30PM and there was no wait for dine-in. A lot of people were waiting for their take out orders. They practiced social distancing well-- the tables were spaced out. They have straws available if you do not feel comfortable drinking straight from the glass cup. We ordered the red Penang chicken curry, beef drunken noodles, and shrimp pad Thai. Best pad thai I've had in a while! It has a light sweetness to it. I normally don't like peanuts in my food, but it worked really well in their pad thai dish. The drunken noodles were delicious. If you have a low spice tolerance- I would not recommend this dish. I enjoyed the red penang curry as well. It is a thin soup consistency, but has a creamy flavor. My friends did not like that the curry sauce was thin because they prefer thicker style curries. I prefer thick curry as well, but the flavor of this curry was on point! Portions here are smaller compared to other restaurants I've eaten at, but it was the perfect amount for one meal. The three of us shared 3 entrees and we did not have left overs. read more

Ordered thru Postmates and food arrived within 40 min, still hot and fresh with crisp veggies. They followed instructions for vegan entrees without fish sauce. Portions were a bit small for a $15 veg entree. Tofu app was good with the sauce. They added chili flakes on top to make it spicy. Overall flavor was OK. read more

This place is great!!! Im pretty picky with Thai food because where I am from theres really good Thai options and have not found the same in the Philly area. The entrees here were amazing!! The Pad thai was on point!! The spices and the sauce of the noodles was amazing. We liked it so much we ordered one to go for lunch the next day. The pineapple fried rice was also very good - and spices done right. Panang curry was also amazing. The spot itself is very cute as well and the service was great. Im giving one less star due to the Apps - I did not find them as great especially the chicken sataay and felt like it was missing something. Otherwise, entrees were great and would come here again and again esp for those pad thai noodles! read more

The portions are very small and the photo is extremely mediocre at best. Respected a huge serving like most Asian restaurants when you pay $13 for fried rice but they only filled the container half way. The food was just very very mediocre, on the motor, expensive side, and nothing for leftovers. read more

I've ordered from here a couple of times, and the food is usually at least above average. I will say for sure that the Tom Kha soup is some of the best around, which is a large part of why I keep ordering. Today I got the soup and also the crunchy wontons which were good, but I also ordered the house salad which I've never had before. It cost $8 and I was disappointed at the size: half a takeout box and four pieces of tofu is not a lot of bang for your buck, especially when I've paid the same price at other restaurants and you get a huge salad. read more

Decided to try some take out from here. I told my husband I had a taste for some Tom Kha soup. Apparently not all Tom Kha soups are equal in taste, served in abundance or at least by the container full. This one seemed to be very sweet which I didn't like and the container wasn't even full. I also got the house salad with peanut dressing.....didn't like that either. My husband and I split an order of the street noodles. They didn't taste bad, but they were very dry. The portions were also very small. My husband got the salmon and he said it was just ok as well. We honestly weren't impressed with the food so we probably won't be going back. The food quality and portion size doesn't line up with the pricing. read more

We decided to give this restaurant a try, and I was swept away. The restaurant was quite nice and quiet, which I like because I prefer to eat in peace. Everything was fresh, and the dinner was great. While we waited for our main course, we ordered chicken satay, which was great. Pad Thai was quite tasty, with a good balance of sweet and savory flavors. It's just right for me. My boyfriend ordered the red Thai curry, which was quite flavorful!! They gave the right quantity of rice for you. I'd definitely return to try the other dishes! It's 12 minutes away from me. read more

Celebrated a family birthday here so we had lots of different taste and diet preferences. Food was excellent and server informed us that most menu items can be made vegan. Lots of vegan protein options as well (mock duck, mock chicken, tofu). The omnivores loved their meat and the veg heads loved their vegan meals. It's rare that I go out to eat with a large group and everyone really enjoys their food. Excellent service, very tasty, will be back. read more

Great service, great prices! My photos do not do it justice! Flat noodles were SO soft! I think this is my favorite drunken noodles since soft texture is really important to me. Staff is very polite. Clean facility. Came in at 5 pm, two other groups joined shortly after. read more

Found this place completely by accident! I though I was ordering from a place in Voorhees and remember I live in Marlton. So zipping out to Collingswood for take out is no joke. But I realized what I did after I ordered so in the car I go..... On a Sunday at 6:30 pm it is 40 minutes from my front door to Thai Basil. I parked and got my order. OMG it was SO GOOD! I wasn't even mad about the hail all the way out there. I ordered the fried tofu appetizer, the roti, panang tofu for my self and the red curry tofu dish for my friend. We tore it up! It was so delicious that I ordered from there and introduced another friend to their food. She said "I'm going to order this tomorrow again". YES it is THAT good. read more

Delicious food, and I loved the cute decor. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive. And quick to respond even though it was very busy. Got the masaman curry, good and a little spicy sweet, as well as the Thai basil fried rice, it had the perfect amount of spice. read more

We got take out. I had the "Speciality" shrimp. Small portion, very blah taste and cost almost $20. I would have given it at best a 2 but the other, non "specialty" food was fine. Avoid the specials and go with plain old pad thai or drunken noodles. And yeah ... not rushing back! 24 hours later....3 out of the 6 who ate this food had gastro--intestinal issues today. Reducing this review to a 2.....at best. I would not go back and urge you to approach with caution!! read more

I'd say the food here at Thai Basil is decent. I'm always on the lookout for a good Khao soi (or as it is on their menu, kaow soi), and I came here to give it a try. For an appetizer I had the chicken curry puffs, which were excellent (although I wish there was more of the onion garnish on the side). The khao soi was okay. The flavors were alright, but the noodles were definitely undercooked, which was disappointing. I took the meal to go, and in all honesty, it was better the second day because after a few minutes in the microwave I no longer had to worry about undercooked noodles. If I could, I'd rate it a 3.5, as the curry puffs were excellent. If the noodles had been properly cooked in the khao soi it would be a four. Not the best, but not the worst either. read more

Foodie friends from California are in town for a week, so we have been indulging in some fun eats in and around Philly and South Jersey. Last night we had torrential rains and got shut out of at least two restaurants in a row - once closed early, the second ran out of food. We were drenched and hungry and we saw Thai Basil lit up in the darkness like a beacon in the night. We ordered soups and different curries and everything was delicious. Nothing was left on our plates. I tried the silver noodle soup. Lovely and light, though I wish the carrots were less crunchy and more tender and that there was lots more noodles. The panang curry was absolutely flavorful and a favorite among all of us. Just wish there were heartier portions for a $13 dish. Beautiful ambiance inside and gentle sweet staff. read more

Food was fresh the service was excellent. I had dumplings for our appetizer and they were great. Highly recommend this restaurant if you want Thai food. read more

It was a quiet Tuesday night when I stopped in for dinner around 6:30. I was seeing a show nearby and wanted something quick that wasn't pizza. It was freeeeeeezing and Thai Basil answered the call with something to warm me up. Inside it's cute and there are some big poofy booths for large groups. Service was a little disjointed; I think just one person was working the front of the house. There is a $30 fixed price menu that's not super exciting if you're dining solo, but definitely worth a look if you can share the appetizer and dessert. I went with a spring roll (a little bland, but crispy and not too greasy at least) and Indonesian noodles. Rice noodles were not on my mind this night, and the "lo mein" ish noodles in this dish really hit the spot. Good chew, not too mushy, and really coated with sauce. There were a lot of different components that worked well together - crispy stir fried veggies, sauteed chicken (I wish pork had been an option), and spicy/tangy sauce. It was not "melt you brains" spicy but definitely got my sinuses opened up. read more

I hate to write this, but something has changed at Thai Basil. It was my favorite Thai restaurant in the area and I ordered from it liberally during the pandemic. We even chose to dine in there for a family event this spring. But the last couple times we've eaten there, something is off. It feels like they have a different chef. The food is not very flavorful anymore, the meat is tough and the portions are smaller. The noodle dishes in particular have seriously gone down hill. Hopefully they can get the chef back that they had before. Otherwise, we'll be looking for a new go-to Thai restaurant. read more

I have to rate 5/5 stars considering I've been ordering from Thai Basil all through residency. The drunken noodle with tofu is my go to order. It is sooooooo good. The apps are okay... not amazing but not bad either. The mango sticky rice was good, but not the best I've had. Thai iced tea and Thai iced coffee are good (no weird powders). The real star is the drunken noodle. It is so good. Do yourself a favor and come here to try it! Food 4/5 Service 5/5 The deliver all the way to Camden! Thanks :) read more

For New Jersey, this was blown away good. I greatly enjoyed the food here. You can expect a warm greeting from the staff upon entering. I ordered up a trio of chicken curry puffs to start. They served white meat chicken in the pastry, which really surprised me. I was impressed with the flaky texture of the puff itself as well. I ordered up a really nice chicken basil dish for my entree. It had just the right amount of spice! It was served with vegetables that were totally cooked do perfection. read more

The lunch special sign outside Thai Basil caught my eye today as I was strolling down Haddon Ave. For 8.95, the lunch special includes a soup, an appetizer and an entree. I decided to stop in for lunch with my mom and was pleasantly surprised by the classy decor inside. There is plenty of seating, including booths for more private dining. Service was extremely prompt and we were seated immediately. The lunch menu actually has a lot of options. I decided on the Tom Kha Gai soup as I was looking to try something new. This was awesome- a totally unique flavor experience as it was creamy and tart but still savory. The main flavors of the broth are coconut and citrus and the soup is filled with chicken and mushrooms. I highly recommend this! I then had a vegetable spring roll which was good as well-the dipping sauce for it was delightful. The serving size of both the soup and spring roll were pretty small, but it was actually the perfect amount as a starter for lunch. For my entree I decided on the drunken noodles. These were so good! The noodles were chopped so it was much easier to eat than pad Thai. The flavors here were pretty complex as well--the recipe is printed on the walls of the restaurant and I was surprised to see how many different ingredients this recipe has. The portion of this was perfect for lunch, and combined with the starters, very filling. The lunch special at Thai Basil is definitely something to check out if you want to try something new at a very reasonable price! read more
