    Tom Yum Noodles
    Brian W.

    Back for our third visit being back in the Manchester area. What perfect food for a cold wet rainy day. Started off with the steamed dumplings which are a bit each time. For those who share, there are 5 in the order. I had the Tom Yum Noodle soup which hit the spot and warmed me up. Nice size shrimps, good flavor. My wife had the Penang chicken.

    I deeply regretted coming here. The worst service I've seen. We had a terrible experience here. We came here for dinner. We ordered everything pretty fast and ate pretty fast too. At exactly 1 hour and 5 minutes of dining here, a waitress came over and told us that the people who reserved the table were here and wanted us to pay and leave. We were still eating the desserts and no one told us about this when we were seated. I've never seen any restaurant with this kind of bad service. The food was below average for Thai food. This dinner ruined our vacation mood for the night.

    Regular Thai food, no good no bad. Nice location near the skiing places. It is straightforward think of this place after a day's skiing, for some fast carbon and hot pho. We had a very unpleasant experience of its service. We were told to limit our dining time within 1.5 hours. It is hard to get the attention from our waiter. They seem all look busy walking around. We have to shout aloud to grab them to order food. The food takes very long to be served. And it was served one by one, with noticeable time in between. So our people need to see one people finish eating, and then have their food. We ordered mongo sticky rice, which is recommended in other reviews of this restaurant. However it was never served. The good thing is when we point out they removed this item from our bill. The bad thing is one pho is never served as well. One person of us was hungry waiting all the way till everyone else already finished their food. It is almost 1.5 hours of their limit. We shouted aloud grab attention from the waiter to get us charged. They gave the bill together with that never served 'pho' in togo box and refused to remove it from our bill. We thought about give a fair 10% tip for the service. And the bill already 'automatically' included 22% tip. And left us the opportunity to add on any more tip. If we did not look carefully. When it is cold outside. We went back to our Airbnb and saw my person eating the half cold pho at ~9.00pm by themself. I believe it is my duty to share our experience here.

    Papaya Salad
    Kelly C.

    Visited Vermont for the day and stopped by here for some tasty Thai food. Oh my gosh, this is definitely one of the best Thai restaurants I've been to. Was so pleasantly surprised by the explosion of authentic flavors in the: PAPAYA SALAD The fresh, green papaya had such a crunchy bite to, holding true to the authenticity of Thai food. The best papaya salad I've ever had was in Chiang Mai, Thailand and I would say this is a close second. Which is saying a lot! The simplicity of ingredients is what makes a papaya salad so tasty, from the shredded carrots to crunchy green beans to the spicy Thai chilies and chopped peanuts. Every bite was tangy, crunchy, spicy and a party of flavors and textures in your mouth. KEE MAO/DRUNKEN NOODLES This dish HANDS DOWN best drunken noodles I've had in the states and that's saying so much. I am always on the hunt for some good drunken noodles and the search ends here. Oh my goodness, the noodles were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of bite to it. The veggies that were sautéed in went along great with the sauces that were tossed in, so freaking tasty. The spice level was PERFECT love a good medium-hot spice level. So flavorful and so incredibly satisfying. PANANG CHICKEN CURRY A deliciously rich and creamy curry with so many flavor elements from the coconut base to red curry to layer of spices. Every bite was so tasty and the chicken was perfectly tender and well salted. Such a tasty Thai curry dish! Service was so friendly and fast. Our food came out hot and fresh, the way every place should be! The food is truly next level here. What a cute restaurant and busy location with so many fun shops around it! Will definitely come back here on my next trip to Vermont

    Veggie Thai basil sauce
    Amanda W.

    We always come to Thai Basil in Manchester VT, especially when we are craving veggies and no where in Manchester do restaurants offer a healthy veggie bowl like here at Thai Basil. During our trip this year, we went twice! Ordered the Veggie Thai Basil, which is cooked in a light soy sauce and cooked with a variety of mixed veggies (such as celery, cabbage, carrots, bok choy, green beans, broccoli and many other green delights!) healthy option! Also ordered for apps the summer roll, which was Ok, filing was lacking and was very small. Hubby loved the green curry, which was cooked with triple spicy. Definitely come here if you want a healthy dish!

    Pho
    Adria E.

    Food was good. We had the Pho and the Pineapple Curry. I'm really glad to have a local place to get Pho, that was a nice surprise to see that on the menu. The drink we ordered (Mai tai) was so strong we couldn't even drink it. Overall good food, but it was pretty pricey. Will be back for more Pho though!

    Pad see ew!
    Omkar L.

    The food was delicious. We had spring rolls, pad see ew, drunken noodles and basil fried rice.

    Elder flower martini & Tito's up with a twist (my life's blood)
    Steve F.

    Love thai basil. Delicious curries. Great lunch specials, and as a martini lover they make me very very happy. Super nice staff. We eat here at least twice a week when in Manchester.

    Ginger Martini and Espresso Martini.  We'll be dreaming about these for a long time.

    The pad Thai tasted like vinegar- no other flavor. It was nauseating. It was only noodles and chicken. No veggies were included.

    The food is excellent. It's about impossible to find good Thai food, but here it is. Great menu. The Thai Basil is worth the trip.

    As usual, every single time good! No waiting at 3 pm…read more Nothing fancy but clean and inviting.

    Based on the yelp reviews, I'd say quality of food and service is spotty here. I don't want to…read morerecommend this place and have someone following my recommendation have a bad experience, as it seems a lot of people do. Heh...and it seems I finished my meal and got up and left before I finished my review. I had vegetable yaki udon (which my phone heard as "vegetable yucky udon" ) and edamame. I enjoyed both. It was not an "Oh my dog!" swooning experience, but it was good. The woman who seated and served me initially did indeed disappear entirely about halfway through my meal; happily, a gentleman in a flannel shirt and down vest took over for her, coming over to ask if everything was alright and, upon my request, to refill my drink. The woman, I believe, has a reputation for not doing those things, but I was taken care of despite her negligence. (This is also the woman who insists that the customer sign the credit card receipt produced after they use tap-to-pay with their phone...one of the whole reasons for the existence of which mechanism is that it's touchless...meaning that you don't have to touch your credit card, you don't have to touch the credit card reader, and you don't have to touch a pen, because, as it says right at the bottom of the receipt in bold capital letters, "NO SIGNATURE REQUIRED". But this woman will not allow the customer to attempt to cloud the issue with facts, insisting instead that the very reason you must sign the receipt is that you used tap-to-pay with your phone. Okay. Whatever.) Anywho...I had a nice meal. And I was surprised to hear what sounded, to my distorted hearing, like 90's shoegaze playing over the sound system. (I think I have the genre right there - it was reminiscent of Cocteau Twins and that sort of thing. And I'm sure I heard Morrissey in there too. Unexpected almost anywhere these days, and definitely so, and kind fun, in an Asian restaurant.)
