Called ahead for takeout and they said it would be done in 15 mins. I got there and had to wait for a little bit, but man was it worth it. And there were people coming in left and right for take out! Their pineapple fried rice and their red curry are amazing. Can't wait to go back! read more

I've been to this place with my friends and I wasn't familiar with the area but I remember eating Pad Thai here and it was good. I couldn't find the taste any where else. Then today I came back by myself and I had Pad See-Ew which is one of my new favorites! It's sooo goood! I was able to get it with the lunch special. Overall I am satisfied with my visit & the food! Only con is: the soup for the lunch special doesn't come with it if your order is "to-go". That's lame since your paying for the lunch special. Anyways, I would recommend this place if you like Thai food! read more

Thai Basil - Presentation is cute. Food taste good & I'm loving this place!! - Thai Near Me - Fullerton, California

Whenever I've ordered food at Thai Basil, it's always been nothing less than positive and nothing short of delicious. I would always get either their chicken pad Thai or their beef pad Thai. There are many other options as well but these are their most flavorful because of the Thai rice noodles that are stir-fried with egg, bean sprouts, green onions, and ground peanuts that mixed in with it. Ask for the fresh chili sauce if you can handle spice, and drizzle it all over your pad Thai. It adds that extra flavor that's just so good! Be sure to order the fresh spring summer roll with peanut sauce on the side because those will be the best spring rolls you've ever had. When they say fresh, they definitely mean it! read more

i ordered this through delivery so i can't judge fully but the pad see ew didn't have much flavor :(

Excellent food! My all time favorite is Tom yum soup (chicken & shrimp - spice level 5) and mint beef. Giving 4 stars because of the ambiance, during peak hours it gets really busy and the place is really small as compared to numbers of dine in customers, more space or renovations is required. read more

12/28.... Well...brought two other friends to enjoy the grubbage here and as expected....they did!! Not only is the food ON POINT but the place is comfortable and clean. If you're a big person - as I am - and you need a little extra room to plant your fat ass? No worries as all the seating here is comfortable. If you get lucky you can sit at the table that is most private - by the entrance. It's my favorite spot! I always order the Angel Wings. These are amazingly crunchy Panko-Coated chicken wings that are deboned, then stuffed w a mixture of ground pork, shrimp and glass noodles!! HOLY ! The sweet dipping sauce is not to be missed either. Great way to start the meal. I also ordered egg rolls - which turned out to be a mushy texture so I am going to pass on that the next time - but only because I didn't enjoy the texture, the flavors were good. For entrees we ordered the Pad Thai w extra vegetables and shrimp & chicken. So very yummy!! NOT TO BE MISSED! Also ordered my FAVE, and now the fave of my friends who joined me tonight - The Spicy Eggplant w Beef! Again...HOLY ! When my friend took a taste he didn't have to say a word - the expression on his face said it all...GET YOUR OWN BRO! This dish is marked w Thai Basil and Lemongrass and the notes that dance on your tongue will leave you tingly!! (yeah yeah yeah - it's that good!!) The steamed rice was fluffy and sticky and perfect as well. We finished the meal with the Sweet Rice w Mango! And let me tell you if you haven't had that - YOU SIMPLY MUST!! The service was very pleasant as it always is. The ladies were patient and informed us the kitchen was a little backed up so we knew to be patient. And...it was sooo worth it! Come check this spot out. YOU WON'T SOON FORGET IT! It's easily accessible from the 57, 60, 91, 55, 10 freeways. LOOK IT UP! When you come you should consider bringing a friend or 3 so you can order a wider variety and try some other dishes! If you liked this review - LIKE ME! Spread the love yo!

I ordered a sticky mango rice when I got home they only gave me the sticky rice -__- tried to call and they don't have a working phone number when you call it says their voicemail has not been set up yet. So if you place an order good luck talking to a person if you need anything over the phone because you'll have to drive back. read more

I've been coming here since I was a little girl. Love their egg fried rice and if you want a combo, their lunch special is actually available at all hours read more

I really like this place! This has been my go to Thai place in the Fullerton area. FOOD // The food is great here! My two favorites are the Pad See Ew and the Egg Soup. They are to die for and I have serious cravings for them. For the Pad See Ew, you have an option of adding beef, chicken, shrimp, or tofu. I always go for the beef. My favorite Thai dish of all time is Pad See Ew so I have had it at many other Thai places. They do a great job of it here. SERVICE // The customer service is good. Not bad, but not great. They will answer questions if you have any and do not rush you to order (that is one of my biggest pet peeves). However, once you are about 75% done, they give you the check and kind of hover until you pay it. Regarding food, the dishes come out in a timely manner. LOCATION // It is located in a plaza near CSUF. Obviously, the most crowded times are lunch and dinner; in addition, parking can get absolutely hectic during these times as well. AMBIANCE // There is a very relaxed and casual vibe here. I have come here to grab a quick meal with my friends. The noise level is medium with light chatter happening between customers and conversations with the staff. OVERALL // 4 stars read more

Yumi food and have been there many times. I recommend it. I love the Thai shrimp and chicken and fat rice noodles.

Amazing, flavorful food and great environment. A bit on the pricier side, but you get a pretty solid amount of quality food.

Wouldn't honor a gift card because they are under new ownership. Haven't even tried the food yet but am reviewing based on the fact that I already have a bad taste in my mouth. Always wanted to try the place but will never be back based on this single experience. read more

I came on for a late lunch and was seated right away. We ordered off the lunch menu which comes with your choice of soup or salad, egg roll, fried wonton, and steamed, fried or brown rice. Menu is basic and easy to guide through. I ordered the Chicken with Chili and Garlic with spice level 6. The server asked what level of spicy from 1-10. Everything was just okay. The actual chicken was pretty spicy. Nothing I couldn't handle though :P I wanted the steamed rice and it was a bit cold when coming out. My friend ordered the Beef with Broccoli with fried rice. Everything was just mediocre. I've been to better Thai places. read more

I chose Thai Basil because it's on DashPass and is in my town so I hoped it'd arrive still hot, and I was right! We opted for low/no spice foods this time. I enjoyed the tofu pad see ew very much. Hubby and child both raved about the "fluffiness" of the chicken fried rice. Portion sizes were good, I have leftovers for lunch, and I think prices are very reasonable. We will be back to try dishes with more spice! read more

I totally underestimated this place. I ordered pineapple yellow curry and that was the BEST Thai curry I've ever tried..!!! It was so hot but I couldn't take a break from eating.. The only downside would be that they charge for a bowl of rice... I didn't know people eat curry itself? But for the amount I paid for this curry, I would come here hundred more times. read more

Delicious food and even better service. I ordered during the dinner rush for my lunch not knowing that my order would be done for another hour and a half. Went in and the woman at the counter talked to the kitchen and got me out in 10-15 minutes. Much appreciated and will be returning! read more

Thai Basil was great in resolving my missing curry chicken. They were willing to give me an entire combo meal free for their mistake. Fair is fair and I mentioned to them to just give me the missing part of my order. Thai Basil is the best restaurant around with exceptional service. read more

Thai Basil - Where's the chicken curry??? - Thai Near Me - Fullerton, California

I've lived in the area for almost 20 years and though Thai food is my favorite, I've only had this place once for takeout. I decided to eat here because I crave hot and spicy food when it's ridiculously hot outside. Previously, I had ordered their Pad See Yew, which was pretty good when you add all the chilies, fish sauce, hot sauce, and sugar. This time I ordered the lunch special of pork and chili (what I thought was Pad Kra Pow, but it totally isn't). This special came with rice, a sample of their egg roll and sweet chili dipping sauce, and fried wonton with pork and shrimp (?) and soup. I also ordered some chicken satay as a starter and a Thai Ice Coffee. When I ordered, the waitress asked me how hot spicy I wanted the pork with chili and garlic, on a scale of 1-10. I said 8. I also cashed if it was Pad Kra Pow, and she said yes. I also asked if they could prepare it with ground pork, and she checked with the kitchen and said yes. The soup and my drink arrived first. The free chicken broth soup was blazing hot (temp), but flavorful. It needed some salt, but otherwise it was pretty average. The Thai ice coffee was delicious, and the fried wonton and egg roll were pretty okay, nothing to celebrate. My dish came out next and it was looking extraordinarily bland. No basil. Hardly any chilis, and covered in onion. The meat wasn't ground at all. Thin sliced pork, with almost zero flavor. I think they don't use MSG because absolutely nothing had a strong flavor to it. I asked the waitress for some fish sauce to help the dish along, and she came back with fish sauce with those thin sliced tiny chilis. I must have poured about 1/4 cup for the flavor to come out, but it was just sad altogether. No sign of the chicken satay. For a place called "Thai Basil", the dish was lacking in basil, one of the key ingredients of Pad Kra Pow, if that's what the dish really was. Also, MSG is one of the best things to happen to Asian food, and the lack of it in Thai food is one of the biggest mistakes any restaurant can make. I guess I'll order the Pad See Ew again, if I feel so inclined, but to honest, that experience put me off on Thai Basil. The service was great, so I feel terrible being so blunt. I would gladly come back here again if I knew that the food would improve. read more

This is ridiculous because when we went there today, we went as 7 people. However, the problem was they included and charged each of us 20% tip without telling us, so we were overcharged. When we called to ask why we were overcharged, they said it is because 7 people are considered a "big party."" We go here often cause the food taste good, but after this experience, this is ridiculous. Basically, they will overcharge you without telling you which this is very ridiculous. Adding to that they also charged us "serving fee" which means they charged us because they were serving for 7 people. This is sooo ridiculous and really mad for overcharging us because they just want to. Really? This is horri read more

This used to be my Go To place for Thai food in the Fullerton area. Ordered take out and took over an hour for the food to be ready. Had to call the restaurant to get my order expedited and the lady on the phone was of little help.

I always love coming to eat at Thai Basil, the food is always delicious! Pad Thai is a must at this place.

Went here for a late lunch (around 1:30PM) on a Friday and there was a wait! We were not expecting that since we have been here for dinner on a previous occasion and it was empty. They have a pretty good selection of decently priced lunch specials which comes with the entree, rice, egg roll, fried wonton, and soup. My husband ordered the crying tiger and I ordered the Tom kah gai soup. Both were flavorful and delicious. Waitresses were friendly, but hard to track down because the restaurant was packed. The crowd starting dying down around 3pm. A number of people came to pick up to-go orders. read more

Love this place.... extensive menu and great selections of Thai food. Tucked away in a strip mall close to Cal State Fullerton, parking can be a bit cumbersome. Got the Pineapple curry chicken, it was so good. Can't wait to try other menu items. Cheap Thai beer too! read more

Nasty! Nasty ! Found plastic string ... my friend almost chocked on it! We found like 5 Pieces of this in the pad Thai. Never going back. It looked like dental floss!! This shows how they prepare their food and how nasty there kitchen may be! Never going back here! If you're thinking about going here, think wisely yelper! read more

One of a rare satisfying order via Uber, where most experiences disappoint. The price and portions are good and I enjoyed the crab fried rice and noodle dishes. Nothing amazing but hits the spot. read more

If I could do no stars, I would. Had high hopes for this place. Ordered takeout and was surprised with what we got when we got home. We specifically said that we had peanut allergy and bean sprout allergy in our household. Food came with everything! When my wife called, they actually told us to just scrape off the peanuts and pick out the bean sprouts. OMG! If you have any allergies, don't even dare come to this place. Other dishes like the duck was so DRY! What a big disappointment. If you're reading this, go find another place to spend your money. read more

This place is the most authentic Thai restaurant I've ever been to! I've been coming here for awhile to satisfy the cravings, but I also wanted to keep coming here before writing a review because I wanted to know if the cooking would be all around the same, or if there were any off days. Boy was I happy when ever I ordered food here, it's been SO delicious! Like mouthwatering, need to wipe the corners of your mouth, oh shit I'm drooling kind of delicious! So here's my usual order: -Tom Kah Gai Soup/ Tom Yum Gai Spicy Chicken Soup (depends on my mood) -Pad See Ew with beef (it's my bfs favorite) AND MY FAVORITE ..... -pad Thai with veggies There's absolutely nothing I would change about the soups, I love it spicy. If you can handle spice, when they ask you how hot you want these soups, say 10! I feel like it not only adds more flavor, but also that kick you need in soup. The cool thing is, they tell you it's cheaper to get the whole pot, and it also comes with rice! Yayyy! I would also not change a thing with Pad See Ew. I'm just very particular about how I like it. Growing up, it was always with beef, so if I get it with anything other than beef, it's gross to me. So I stick with what I know and what I like. Pad Thai. Oh Pad Thai, I love this dish with a passion. It's seriously my go-to dish for everything. I like everything I eat to be either tangy or sour, so I do ask for lime or lemon (whatever they have available), and just squeeze all over it. But if you're not like me, then you'd like it just the way it is. The reason I order it vegetarian style is because it's 100x better with shrimp, but I'm allergic (insert sad face), so I settle with veggies. The only thing I'd ever have to complain about is the wait. I've come here when it would be SUPER busy, like no tables available, busy. And also to where I'm just coming in after the dinner rush. I guess you can either look up when the most busiest times are and avoid the frustration, or just order and pick it up on your time if you're not eating in (mostly what I do because of work). read more

Unfortunately never eating here again. They forgot the soup with my entree, the app said food would be ready in an hour but sat getting soggy and cold for 40 min.

I love Thai food. I'm always down for Thai food no matter what. This place is not too bad, but not the best. Some dishes are better than others. I always order the basic dishes like pad thai and pad see ew. I've ordered the duck noodle soup and their glass noodle with egg dish before. I recommend their curries. They are creamy, savory, and sweet at the same time. The cost is pretty typical of these types of restaurants ($10-18). The service could be better. This restaurant is located right by Cal State Fullerton so they do get quite a bit of foot traffic. Depending on the time it can get pretty packed. The parking gets a little hectic so if you don't mind walking I'd suggesting parking closer to Smart and Final. read more

I have been going from my house to my fathers checking if he was OK. 24 hrs later there both just getting through it.

I got Togo there during the lock down pandemic.. They weren't that busy but the lady upfront was really rude about my order. I was trying to get her the info from my Yelp order and she was demanding my phone #.. Which I was about to give her. But she automatically was like 'no phone # I can't rralse your order'... I was getting it.. Wow.. Also the cooks were not wearing safety masks or gloves whole cooking the meals. This concerns me since they were all communicating and it can happen that the human body saliva can be traveled during the meal prep. I'd advise that they should wear the proper gear at times like this fir safety and health precaution. read more
