Good food, friendly service in a cute setting. The portion size was small for me but no complains with its flavors. So far I have only tried Thai fried rice in my two visits. Based on the food served on the table, everybody enjoyed their order. So, overall, visit them for authentic Thai flavors in Boise. PS - cautious with the spice level, mild or medium would be a way to go as you could be in tears while eating the hot version even if you can handle very spicy food. read more

I wish I could give zero stars for the combination of customer service and inedible food. Our server was awful, he was very inattentive and forgetful. I took my 1st (and only) bite of pad Thai and honestly couldn't even get it down. It was disgusting. It tasted like wet dog. I sat there for awhile when he finally came to check on the food. (He had disappeared for so long that we were actually ready to go at this point.) I said it wasn't good and it had a funny taste, he chuckled and offered me a box. I said no and he still made us pay full price for the food we didn't eat. My friend ordered the same thing and ate a few more bites than I did but she said she immediately felt sick. The photo I've attached it how much I ate, you can't even tell I took a bite. I've never been disappointed by pad Thai before but first for everything I guess. I actually surprised they are selling this to people and even more surprised that people are buying it. Our experience was so bad it was almost comical. read more

My husband and I arrived at 2:02 pm and they had already closed the dining room. (They advertise closed from 2:30pm to 4:00pm.) They did post an old sign that was scratched and difdicult to read. Hoping the sign was a mistake we waited as there were people in the dining room. The hostess came to the front and asked us for the name on the pickup order and we explained we would like a table. She informed us they close the dining room 20 minutes before they actually close. We were there TWENTY EIGHT minutes prior. She did not even offer a take out menu. Clearly they don't want our business, don't worry we won't be back. Not worth the drive from Caldwell to deal with a rude hostess. read more

I love this place!! My favorite dishes are the summer rolls and yellow curry dish with chicken. My husband was indecisive as to which dish is his favorite - The yellow curry dish with chicken or the Yellow curry dish with beef. A true toss up in his opinion. His favorite appetizer is the deep fried tofu. Killer! His new favorite drink is now the Thai coffee. This place is consistent with great service, food and dependability. Tyler was our waiter and constantly checked on us. He couldn't do enough. The food menu is reasonable priced. For me finding a place that offers a wide array of gluten free options is a must! This place fits the bill. Trust me when I say you will leave this place pleasantly satisfied and full. This restaurant is a Thai food haven. I'm sold! read more

I'm still looking for a Authentic Thai Restaurant. The fact that this place has the word Authentic on it made me choose to dine in. They lack some real ingredients. It seems that a lot of Thai restaurants here in Idaho go cheap on their ingredients and I think it's sad that people who eat there actually think this is how Thai dishes are really prepared. They serve sweet chili sauce (from a bottle) for their fresh spring rolls.. typically it's supposed to be a peanut sauce which I had requested. Also the larb had cabbage on the side instead of lettuce or lime leaves. Cabbage would really throw off the taste of the chicken larb when eaten together. The fresh spring rolls really lacked the correct ingredients. It was pretty much stuffed with iceberg lettuce. These aren't true Thai ingredients for making this. They skimp the real Authenticity by using cheaper products. read more

I've enjoyed a number of great dishes here. The Thai food is delicious, they even serve tasty Pho and Mongolian beef and Mandarin chicken. Tonight I was introduced to their A7. Cha Gio (Vietnamese egg rolls). Probably one of the best things I've had in a VERY long time. I had to take a star away as I looked at the menu online before I came in and decided to come in and get a dish with halibut over veggies. Their online menu (https://www.thaibasilidaho.com/menu) said that was +$5 for the fish. When I got there, the paper menus now list that as +10. The fish came out quite overcooked, chewy and in no way tender. Not worth paying extra for IMO. But I'll be back as I've had a number of nice experiences here with the food and friendly staff. I hope they update their website soon. read more

I guess if you're craving Thai then it's a great place to go. But walking in I felt like I was bothering the employees there by just being there. They didn't give off the welcoming vibe. The service was good we were there at lunch time so it was busy, but they can at least pretend they want to be there. I was almost afraid to ask for water or the check. The food was good, of course.

I wasn't aware of this eatery just west of that one southern doughnut place that people either love or just don't get the hype. Carl Y. let me know of Thai Basil and that it's run by the same folks that operate Pad Thai House at Overland and Five Mile in Boise. Unlike the former Taco John's location in Boise, that holds a certain nostalgia for me from my college days but is rather sterile, the Meridian outlet of this Thai empire has an elegant wood decor. The menu is pretty similar with Pad Thai House, but there were some special seasonal items offered on a separate menu sheet. I ordered the drunken, a pseudo pad kee mao with wide noodles. The Thai Basil version includes meat, bell peppers, onions, scallions and Thai basil. It's very good, same as at Pad Thai House. Ask for traditional Thai heat. The staff is friendly, just like at the Boise restaurant. I recommend both locations equally. The one thing I hated was their following new age restaurants that insist on calling their meat choices "protein." That's just lame. But doesn't take away from the quality of this restaurant. read more

Some of the names of the dishes are a little bit different, but the food is the same and I love consistency.

One of the best Thai restaurant in Boise/Meridian. Good pad Thai and great summer rolls (pork one is better than shrimp). I normally order two plate of summer rolls. Yes, that good ! The volcano is good and I like it spicy. 5 is good while 8 is too spicy. Good overall. 3 spice fish is really good... they cut in cube so make it easy to share. Honey glazed duck is good, my son love it, but I found a little too sweet. You should close with fried ice cream, really delicious. We shared for 3 folks. read more

It was sitting on top of a burner but the burner wasn't lit which confused me. It would have been nice if the burner would have been lit to keep the soup hot. The soup was flavorful but really sweet. I didn't taste much sour or heat to the soup. You get a hearty amount of mushrooms, chicken and broth. Overall it was a decent soup. After a while I focused on just eating the stuff in the soup and not finishing the broth. You can handle so much of the sweetness. Service was good. I did get a taste of my friend's marinated steak, it was really good. But for the cost of the steak, you really don't get much. I have tried this place twice now and I wish I could say that I love it. The food is decent but there are so many Thai joints in the valley that I just like a little better.

We were served rice soup for the 4 of us. Grandma got her lunch first since she's vegan and couldn't have the soup. I thought was was really kind of them to do that! Grandma didn't have to be left out. She ate a good portion of her veggies and rice noodles. She was a happy clam. My pad Thai was perfection! It was saucy, it had a good amount of bean sprouts and tofu. And the heat level was nice! My favorite is adding the fresh squeezed lime juice into the noodles. It's so good! I ate half and plan on eating the other half later. Bangkok Thai is one of the best Thai joints in town. It's locally owned by some of the best people. The staff is always nice and they push our killer food. I love eating here and if you're looking for some good Thai food, this is your joint to hit up. I know I'll be back soon.

Pleasant greeting from the nice lady who owns this place, Varaporn Chalermpuntusak. Lots of…read moreconvenient parking. Simple comfortable seating. Open kitchen, very clean. Good choices on the menu. We picked the popular pork belly dish, Pad Kaprao Moo Grob and Panang red curry. Both automatically came out at level one spiciness. My pork belly could use a little more heat and I got some extra spice. Next time I will ask for level 5 when ordering. Strongly recommend this place because the price and quantity is better than some of the competition.

CLOSED as of July 30, 2025…read more A couple originally from Portland (I think I have the city right) opened their kitchen offering take out only (delivery in limited area) Cantonese food that was pretty good for what it was. They operated out of one of the 17 ghost kitchens in what was the former CRAVE! Delivery kitchens in maybe 2024. (Honestly, the original owner of this original ghost complex added the naming emphasis but the original line up and the one that followed was a terrible disaster.) Now the owner of the ghost complex is apparently going to sell it. My understanding from the Wei people is they are closing now, they plan to travel (including China) for a while. Hopefully they'll come back and be able to open a bricks and mortar place. PS - Mai Thai that was also operating a take out operative from this same ghost complex after the kitchen fire and closure of their restaurant in downtown Boise announced earlier this month that they were leaving this ghost kitchen complex on July 27 and reopening in a Boise ghost complex. They didn't mention that the Meridian complex was being sold.

I was anxious to try Wei's because the reviews. I ordered three items: General's chicken, Kung pao…read morechicken, and chicken chow mein. The generals chicken was soggy and perhaps it'd be better not to mix the sauce with the chicken, the other two dishes left something to be desired as far as I was concerned because the chicken pieces were too large like two slices and made vegetables were also large chunks. Overall flavor was acceptable. I guess the presentation was a biggest problem.
