    Small restaurant. Overall clean. Food came out pretty quick. Decent Thai food for what's in the area. Service was good.

    Thai it is then. It's a small spot by Bonefish and Sally Beauty. 5 4-person booths and a small 2 top oddly close to the front cashier. They charge 18% on all dine-in orders, but they post it by the booth divider when you first walk into the place. It's good though, as the waitress informed you upon getting the bill that the 18% gratuity is included, making it sound like she's doing you a favor or something. The garlic chicken, Thai basil noodles and tofu fresh roll looks good as well. We ordered crispy chicken with side of steamed veggies instead of rice, medium spicy and a pad Thai with tofu, Thai hot. $34.87 with the tip. The condiments: Prik Nam Pla, dried red pepper and peanuts. The pad Thai is good, flavorful and nicely pan fried. The crispy chicken looks better than it tasted, it was definitely crispy, the breading was super light. However, the chicken was way overcooked for sure, reminiscent of jerky, but the sauce has good flavor to it at least. Stick with the Pad Thai unless you don't mind a bit of overcooked, but flavorful chicken with the crispy garlic chicken. Service was good.

    Don't you just hate it when twenty seconds after the starter is on the table the main course comes out! They don't care your food is cold when you get to it.... That's poor service in my book. Poor service means no tip.... Nice to know I can get bad service as much as the next guy. 8ن HRH. Prince Richard of Judah.

    The food was absolutely amazing! It was fresh, and the customer service was really top-notch. I was visiting on vacation and stopped by during shopping. I was seated immediately, offered something to drink, and allowed time to review the menu and place my order. I dined in and am so glad that I did. Oh, we visit Destin every year, so this will be one of my stops during shopping!

    R5. Fried Rice with chicken

    We really enjoyed our food here. The food and service here was really good. I got the chicken fried rice, medium spicy, which was the perfect spice level for me. It was delicious! I also got the Tom kha soup which was also really good. One order would definitely be enough to share between 2-4 people (would probably make about 4 small cups). We also ordered the crab rangoons, which were also good. Although it seemed like a lot people were getting takeout (we were there after 7, on a rainy night in December), our server was very friendly and nice. Our food came out quickly too. Definitely a good option!

    Thai Basil is your proverbial hole in the wall type restaurant. There are only 6 tables, there is only one waiter, and they have no beer license. However, the food is really tasty. We had the basil fried rice (Thai hot), fresh rolls, and garlic chicken. All were very good, and I especially loved the garlic chicken. It had great flavor, and the hot spice balanced well with the honey and garlic. This was the best Thai place we tried in the Destin area.

    C8. Salmon Curry
    K M.

    After a shopping trip with the wife and daughter Stopped by to get takeout-Ordered 2 mild chicken pad Thai's and a salmon curry. Ordering was easy and the young lady taking our order told us that it would be ready in 15 minutes. Took it back to the hotel to eat. Pad Thai was fresh and hot with good amount of chicken but tasted like they added ketchup to the sauce giving it a slightly reddish color and tomato flavor and taste much different than the traditional pad thai I've eaten previously. Wife liked it daughter didn't The salmon curry was not good it was served in a large deli container with red curry water/sauce,sliced cucumbers?,Tomatoes, green peppers and basil the red curry sauce was like water absolutely no flavor at all. If you are ever in the Destin area give them a try just don't order the salmon curry

    Excellent Thai food. Great people. Reasonable prices. Phad Thai and Mixed Vegetable with choice of meat are great. Also the Curry dishes.

    The foods wasn't really that great. Also, portion for the price that we paid wasn't up to standard.

    Stopped by for dinner on our last night in Destin and the place was popping! We managed to snag on…read morethe last two tables, and the restaurant stayed busy while we were there. They must have been busy the entire day as they were out of some items (like waygu! =/). Service was good, especially with how busy it was. Food was delicious- would definitely head back here if we were ever in Destin again. The rolls here are a must, both regular and specialty. Favs included the Ragin Godzilla and Tornado rolls. For kids 10 and under, the ramen is a hit! Highly recommend this spot for sushi!

    Came for weeknight dinner with the hubby & our 3 kiddos & we LOVED it! Service was wonderful…read more We ordered a bunch of different apps & rolls, but these were the most memorable for us... -Creamy shrimp: crispy & tossed in a slightly sweet mayo sauce. -Seaweed salad: standard seaweed salad but very generous portion! -Chashu ramen: one Ramen fed 3 kids. They loved it. Great flavor & noodles. Pork was melt-in-your-mouth tender. -Destin roll: absolute favorite roll we tried! Great flavors & loved the crab meat. Must order for sure. -Yuzu creme brulee: amazing! So light & not too sweet. A great finisher to a great meal. Overall, great, quality food. Fish quality is outstanding. Rice is perfectly cooked & seasoned. We can't wait to come back when we are in the area.

    Decided to return to this establishment since we had a great experience last time…read more Didn't count all the tables but I can say this place can accommodate about 90 people. It has a full bar but we didn't take advantage of that due to the driving we had planned and 98 can get busy. We were greeted by the person that was our server, apparently it is a family business and he may be one of the owners because he did a great job like it was his own business AND with a smile We opted for the Pad Thai and the Pad Kee Mao that comes with a salad and one crispy vegetable Spring Roll that is 2die4 The salad dressing is just out of this world and is very light but it hits the spot like a thunder and wakes up your taste buds for the duration of the indulgence, I left no dressing on my plate, I didn't want any of it to go to waste We ordered an appetizer, you guessed, pork Spring Rolls that came out piping hot and beautifully decorated like every dish that comes out of that kitchen, reminds me of a Peruvian restaurant in Raleigh. Flavor was on point and matched the size. The entrees were absolutely delicious, it is a slightly different flavor than the traditional Thai but still very good. Will be my go to place every year that we vacation in this part of Paradise Star Star Star Star Star

    Really great Thai food! We had the pineapple fried rice, Pad Thai, the sampler, and finished with…read morethe mango sticky rice. Everything we ordered was excellent and the portions were huge. We had plenty of food left over to take home. The pineapple fried rice and Pad Thai were both delicious, and the mango sticky rice was great. Great food, great portions, great staff and definitely a place we'll come back to. Highly recommend!
