    Spent over $60 for food that wasn't edible. Ordered mild, we like some spice but it was wayyyyyyy too spicy. Pad cashew had 1 small piece of chicken and a bunch of sauce with no bamboo shoots or baby corn. Ordered chicken pad Thai, hardly any chicken. Ordered the peanuts on the side and they didn't provide them. Will never order here again. Tom yum soup was too spicy to eat. Update: took the uneaten food back the next day and spoke with the manager Saj, he said they would remake it for us at that time but we were on our way to a party. He said we could have it remade at a later date. I called tonight to reorder and he would only offer a discount, not a remake. He said he did not write it down and had no record of it. I have a picture of the receipt yet he still would not rectify the order. I am disappointed to say I will no longer patronize this restaurant.

    It's been a while since leaving Thai Basil a review. Previously, I would stop here regularly. I enjoyed the ambiance and the food. The service had always been good and it was again on my recent visit. The food also arrives quickly. There is some highlights and a bit of lowlights. The winners here are the crab Rangoon's and the spring rolls. They are both very crispy and the flavor is spot on! They also are generous with the crab filling! Outstanding! The pad Thai for me was just not that good. I have had it before and I liked it. It was too sweet, it had an odd darker color and the chicken was not tender at all. The eggs were also almost nonexistent. The vegetarian stir fry was tasty, but it almost had a gumbo consistency and it didn't not have enough veggies. Things seem to have declined. The decor, once sort of special, looks dated and a bit drab. This experience was just ok. I hope they brighten the place up and improve the food back to their old standards. It's a great location with lots of parking! They just need to share their original passion so it translates to the food and the overall experience!

    I was in the area and decided to take a chance on this location. It's not terrible and it's not great. It depends what you like. The crab Rangoon has way too much cream cheese and do you need to be careful eating it as it can get messy due to the excessive cream cheese. The spice level insane! Light spice = medium and medium spice = very hot. I can't imagine how killer it would be to ask for "regular" spice ! The sushi was ok. The setting looks dated. The service is good and fast. I would not be going back.

    Thai Basil did not disappoint. Medium spicy is SPICY!! Beware. Service was excellent. The restaurant was busy so you know the food is good. We ordered various dishes. They do close at 8:30 on Tuesday not sure about their hours on others day so check before heading in. Service was friendly and fast. Eel and cucumber rolls were very good. Place is clean and spacious. Attached pictures and what dishes we ordered. ENJOY

    Pad Thai with Chicken.
    Kev H.

    The food from this place is sooo good. We ordered Pad Thai with Chicken and Pad See Ew with Chicken, and both were extremely flavorful. Prices as of Sept 2022: - Chicken, pork, tofu or veggies: $12.50 - Beef: $13.50 - Shrimp, squid or crabmeat: $14.50 - Scallop: $15.50 - Mixed seafood: $17.95 Their Pad Thai came with thin rice noodles wok-tossed with eggs, green onions, bean sprouts, and topped with crushed peanuts. The color of the noodles was a little paler than what I'm used to, but the flavor turned out to be all there and more. It was savory, slightly tangy and sweet, and it was pretty loaded with chicken thigh meat. And with each dish we got to choose our desired spiciness level, and I asked for "spicy" because I looove real spicy food, no jokes. But man oh man, the "spicy" level at this place was no joke. But it was so good though. The Pad See Ew came with wide rice noodles wok-tossed with eggs and broccoli sweet soy sauce. I asked for "medium spicy" for this one. This dish nailed it in terms of the delicate balance between sweet and savory. I would 100% order this again.

    Thai Basil's shrimp pad thai is so good!!

    Fast, hot, delicious, perfection! Consistent and reliably good food! Thai Basil in Livonia is so fast, we order delivery frequently and their food always arrives much sooner than it tells you to expect. And it is always so hot and fresh, perfectly made and delicious. They have the best pad Thai in town! I have an allergy with onions and usually when I ask for no onions they make sure there are no onions, and they'll add something else like sprouts to round out the dish, really thoughtful. Have been ordering for a number of years from them and never ever a bad experience, food quality is really consistent. Oh, and their portion sizes are huge! We usually make at least 3 meals out of one order.

    Basil rice with chicken
    Christina R.

    My dad ate his right away so when he said there was barely any chicken in the rice I thought he was exaggerating. I heated my rice up for breakfast at work and either my dad wasn't exaggerating or the chicken got up and walked out in the middle of the night like a bad one night stand. I usually get spicy Siam crossed the street and they are much better but they were closed Sunday. I paid $4.50 to add chicken as per the menu set up. I feel slighted. I had to dig to find a shaving of chicken in the rice to take a photo.

    Do you know if the alcohol menu is just for the bar area or if it's given to every table automatically without asking for it? Thanks.

    Alcohol menu is given to every table for dinner without asking for it. I'm guessing the bar area is closed in afternoon and you will have to specifically ask for it during lunch.

The star of the show every time, the sushi. We have our favorites that we order regularly, such as the chicken tempura roll, so good. Yesterday, we ordered the BBQ roll: Fried pickle, mozzarella cheese inside. Torched New York strip beef on top. Finished with spicy mayo, bbq sauce and fried onions. What creativity! Unique and delicious! The NY strip was so tender as well! We also enjoyed the steamed shrimp Shumai, the kashi katsu and chicken donburi. Lunch comes with miso soup and a small salad with the most delicious dressing! We will be back soon!

    It was quite okay. I have never been to Farmington Hills despite living in the Metro all my life. I…read morenever heard of this place until the day we went, and I was in love with the deliciously crunchy looking sushi the photography had to offer. My name is Dave and I'm here to say... it's alright. I love the whole stylistic blow-show they present when you first get a table. The post-war Japanese influenced architecture and plates/bowls. It's definitely eye candy; and speaking of candy, let's move onto the food. Moving on from the so-so transition into the food, I have a note. I haven't been here in a couple weeks, I'm quite late to this review. I don't remember the names of everything on the menu. Sorry, I have to go off of duct-tape memory and Yelp's 100% always working, fully functional AI generated menu system. My life is so easy! Would it sound possible that dessert was my least favorite thing we ate during our visit? Well, you'd be surprised. It's a backhanded compliment, but a compliment nonetheless. The Tofu Ramen was a little too soft but it had a nice flavor profile, and the Spicy Sushi we got was also quite nice. The Cherry-chapped Tempura we got was not enjoyable, even though it was prepared delicately and looked very attractive. Something about Tempura 90% of the time, it just shouldn't be a thing. (Says the uncultured white that has never experienced good Tempura). Overall, I respect Sushi House. I respect it because it tries, and I believe it doesn't attempt to be anything it isn't. However, it definitely feels more pretentious the more you dig in. (3/5)

I don't think I'll be back, but the server was very nice and food was ready relatively quickly. I just think this isn't the place for me.

Aside from that, the taco was still crispy by the time I made it home 14 mins later & packed with flavor. The push up sushi roll was my favorite. Such a cool idea! The Kani (sp) salad was cool too. The crab could have been shredded up more but that's nothing to complain about. Lastly was the strawberry and cream milk bread! Spectacular, give me 14 of em!!
