August 2021 - Pretty good Thai food overall although we have only been one time and it was "to go". Will elaborate further when we return and dine in. read more

Our favorite restaurant in Meridian! Plenty of gluten free options & they're happy to modify pretty much any dish as needed. Some of our favorites are the sweet and sour chicken, summer rolls, mandarin chicken, Mongolian beef, and egg drop soup! Additionally, We absolutely adore Lisa as a server! So kind and friendly! read more

Our supper was absolutely delicious. We asked for 2 stars out of 3 and it had a good kick! Great fresh herbs and the richest Thom Kha Ka soup I've ever had. Pam was our server and was a darling. read more

Normally i have a great experience but not today. Today i walked in and went to the cash register to make my to-go order. I was ignored. I was ignored several times. I turned to see the hostess gleefully greet and seat the people that came in after me. I walked out. Never again. read more

The food is great here, but the service is horrible. I have been in 4 or 5 times and have never been disappointed with the food (Pad See Eew and the Purple Mango Sticky rice are to die for). The servers are inattentive and I've watched the bus boy sit behind the host podium with the hostess while my table and surrounding tables were being stacked with finished dishes or empty drink cups. I only saw my server when she took our order and when she dropped off the check. It wasn't until she gave us the check that I was able to order dessert or ask for a water refill. This place is best to get takeout. Not anywhere I would bring someone I'm trying to impress (there is an algae stained fish tank as soon as you walk in the door), but I most certainly would recommend the food. read more

Scheduled a pick up order and they were on time to have it ready, polite, and most importantly the food was amazing! It is a little pricey, but not overly. I'll pay it again since the taste is awesome! The drunken noodle needs more spice, so buyers, if you like spice ask for more on that! The panang curry is the best! Coming from CA to ID, I didn't expect much from the cuisine, but this place doesn't disappoint one bit! read more

I really wanted to like this place, but after two attempts and two misses I'm giving up. Their online ordering system is pretty flawed. I got out of a long day at work one evening and placed an online order for pickup. I drove all the way there to find the restaurant closed. My card was charged and the order was processed. I was annoyed, but I guess I could have double checked their hours so I let it slide. They refunded me the next day but there were no further attempts to rectify the situation (i.e discount off next order, etc). Again, it was partially my fault for not checking the hours, but their website really shouldn't let you place orders if they aren't open...just one woman's opinion. We tried it again last week and placed an online order (after confirming they were indeed, open). I ordered two pork Pad Thais, some egg rolls, and a cup of daily soup for my husband. He wanted hot and sour soup but their menu only showed large bowls as a serving size for that, so he was willing to take a chance on whatever the daily special was. An employee called after I placed the order to say I couldn't order the soup for dinner. I couldn't really understand him but it sounds like maybe that was only an option for lunch? I explained my husband really just wanted a cup of hot and sour soup and the employee said they don't offer cups of soup. Weird, but fine. But then we tried the food. And it was the worst pad Thai I've ever tried. Tasteless, nearly sauceless. Just some clumps of noodles with a few pieces of pork thrown on top. Strike three. Needless to say, our search for good Thai food in the Valley is ongoing. read more

First off, outstanding service. Food only took 7 min to arrive. As a connoisseur of green curry (and I eat this stuff everywhere) this place has some of the best ever to be placed on my pallet. Perfect sweetness and balanced spice. Not too much basil not too little. I will come here again and again. Soooo glad I stopped by! What a treat! read more

Thai Basil - Green curry! - Thai Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

There are much better options in the area! Small portions with little flavor and lots of oil. I did a pick up order but the dining room looked pretty dark and dingy, if not actually dirty. If you're looking for good Thai go to Thai Cuisine in Boise! read more

Yummiest yellow curry ever! My husband also got their roasted duck dish and he loved it. This is a great restaurant and ill be back again to try the rest of their curry dishes. read more

Pretty great food. The salad dish we had with beef sauté and vinegar red onions cucumbers and cabbage was amazing. Just make sure if you ask for medium spice be prepared to take it in the shorts a little. But overall the dish was amazing. Friendly service. Only complaint is we went past the regular dinner hour and the staff was too busy talking to fill the water glasses timely. read more

Thai Basil - Tom yum - Thai Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

If we order take out, we usually order athai from Thai Basil. Hubby is OBSESSED with their boneless honey roasted duck. Yes, it is a little fatty but the flavor... WORTH IT. Just feed the fat to your dog (if you have one). The Vietnamese egg rolls, DELISH. We also really enjoy their curries. Super flavorful. read more

We love this place! We eat here in the restaurant when we can- they have a small but decent sized main room. There is a huge fish tank the kids love, and the lighting and atmosphere are casual but on the upper end. Service is always friendly. Plan on a more leisurely pace for your meal, which does make it more challenging with the kids. Our more usual way to enjoy their food is by pick up- this is our go to for a small "date night" at home after the kids go down! We love the Pad Kro Pao, and the red chicken curry is awesome. We never miss the Tom Yum soup (get the pot!) and the salad is super simple but we love the ginger dressing and ask for extra! We have had a number of the other dishes over time and enjoy most of them (we actually got fried rice for the first time last visit and enjoyed it) but we did it at all enjoy their "house duck". It was super stringy, full of inedible fat and a waste of time and money for us. We love duck, but even the sauce was overly sweet and we tossed most of the dish sadly. Other than that we have enjoyed everything. We order medium and mild flavors in one meal to Mix it up (we ordered all medium one time- more power to you if you are good but for us it is... a bit much lol!). Generally the soup we order mild and everything else we split between mild and medium, and they graciously give us extra chili oil to spice up things where we want! That is the way to do it! They are fast, amazingly friendly and offer great, consistent food. I love eating there but our hectic lives mean we take our date nights where we can so take out is more normal! Side note- both our (young) kids love the Tom Yum soup, and the salad. They also love the curry and Pad Kra Poa as well as the noodle Dishes we've gotten. One loves medium heat and kills it, and the other prefers the more mild, but both love eating here and get excited to do so. It's pricey for a "normal" night out for a family of four but they get super excited to go for a special night! Update: We have one of our sons who is now required to be dairy/soy/gluten free and also can't have a few others things. It's a major immune system issue so we have to be careful. We went here tonight, and I had packed food for him because I knew it would be tough to find food for him. They were awesome! Knowledgeable, plenty of options, could adjust almost anything, brought food out for the youngest right away, were patient and kind and just awesome food as always! I was so impressed by their willingness to accommodate our poor kiddo who doesn't often get a lot of choices! read more

4-18-19 Visited with my aunt. It was the first time for her many times for me. I ordered my usual, medium light spicy red curry with shrimp. Fantastic as usual. My aunt ordered pad Thai. Horrible and disgusting. Just like the pictures online the noodles were dark, overcooked, and way too spicy. They gave her Thai spicy instead of medium like she ordered. I have to downgrade these guys now because if you can't make a good pad Thai then you really don't need to be in business. Service the last two times has been very marginal. The first time was fantastic. I will continue to look for my go to Thai place now. If these guys want to learn about service, or most restaurants in Meridian area for that matter, they need to go to Pueblo Lindo Mexican restaurant. Fabulous service and great food. read more

Had the Thai Basil noodle with Duck. It was one of their more expensive dishes and the server highly recommended it. I was very unimpressed... dish sizes are a little small lots of vegetables, not a lot of noodles, even less meat, and the flavor was very average. I wouldn't eat here again. Not with all the great Thai places out there. This one gets maybe a 6.5 out of 10. Sorry I've just had too many really great Thai places. I think the people that give this 5 stars just don't eat much Thai food. Too bad wasn't worth the $15 bucks. read more

Stopped in tonight after reading recommendations on the Boise foodies fb page. Have to say they were right - some of the best Thai food we've had. We ordered yellow curry chicken and King Pri beef and they were both phenomenal. We had iced tea to drink and that was the only thing that wasn't perfect (not fans of fountain tea). Next time we will have to try a couple of adult beverages. read more

Great food! We have been pleasantly surprised so far with the quality and taste of their food and good prices And my food http://instagram.com/p/zGXHHkKdQ9/ read more

Thai Basil - Inside of Thai Basil - Thai Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

i really liked this place! you can't beat the location, and the decor was cute. the restaurant itself is also very spacious and open. it makes for a nice dining and people watching experience. i came in on a monday for lunch alone. this place is close to my work and i was craving curry as i often do. my server was super friendly. he made me feel very welcome and comfortable. i ordered a thai tea and green curry with chicken. my server informed me that on monday's if you order a curry at lunch you get a half priced appetizer! well, even though i was alone, this was a great deal. i chose the fresh shrimp spring rolls. first, they brought me some chicken and rice soup to start that was delicious. i would eat that any day of the week, especially if i was sick. it was great! the spring rolls were brought out next and they were sooo delicious! super fresh and the sauce that came with them was different and tasty. i was in absolute thai heaven. (even though i think they are more of a vietnamese delicacy). by the time the curry came i was stuffed but i powered through. as far as green curry's go it was yummy but not the best i have had in boise. it was a little thick. i will say i am a harsh critic of green curry because it is my favorite food. under any other standards, i think someone would love it. i liked it. i will definitely be coming back again and again to this place- i enjoyed my experience! read more

What a find. We love Thai food and this one is great. Had the Tom kha soup , Penang curry and sea food fried rice. All excellent.

This place is great. Took a large party last minute and handled us like pros. The food is amazing. This our new go to for Thai. The duck curry is excellent. read more

The staff was so incredibly friendly and welcoming. I'm a visitor from out of state and have been going to the same Thai restaurant for about 10+ years, so I was hesitant to try someplace new...but I was not disappointed! I ordered larb chicken and Lao style papaya salad (both extra spicy). The flavors were bold, balanced, and extremely delicious. The spice level was just what I asked for, and I was delighted to get my order meticulously prepared in a timely manner. Job well done Thai Basil! P.S. Happy 4 year Anniversary! Hoping for many more successful years of business for you! read more

Great atmosphere. Good food and friendly staff. I would suggest this place over any other Thai restaurant in The Treasure Valley. Prices are very good too. read more

WOW This place is amazing with phenomenal fresh food !!!! Do yourself a favor come eat here!! Great wait staff everything is phenomenal This is my new go to restaurant in Boise/Meridian area !! read more

I was here last night as part of the meet up group that I run. I had high hopes for it. Good Thai food, like good Mexican, as so far eluded me. When possible, I also like to start off with the positive. But for some restaurants, I have written reviews on, this is just not possible. When we arrived, we got our table very quickly. The next positive thing is the decor here. Now, its not top notch by any means, but when it comes to Asian type restaurants, they are up there in the decor rankings. They have these lights hanging from the ceiling in very nice fixtures that change colors. I liked this a lot. But Im afraid here is where the positivity stops. After we were seated, we waited for at least 30 minutes before the waitress came to take our order. I was finally able to catch her eye as she was coming back from another table. Once she took our order, we again we are on wait list. After another 20 minutes or so, the waitress brought out our salads. None of us even knew we were getting salads. But to get them so late after placing our order was just weird. The salad was just ok. Nothing of note here. Next came our meals. I got the Pad Thai. I ordered this because the menu said it was the most popular item on the menu. I figured this meant it was their best dish, so thats what I got. On a side note, how do places determine what is the most popular dish on a menu. Do they put all their dishes on a dartboard and throw darts to figure this out? Do they poll their customers, or what? Im assuming its based on sales, but who knows. Maybe this was just the dish the cooks like cooking the most. Anway, when I got the Pad Thai, by mouth almost dropped open. It looked pretty disgusting. Now, we eat with our eyes and nose before we ever take a bite. I know sounds weird eating with your nose, right? That just means that a lot of taste is based on smell. So when the waitress brought out my Pad Thai, the first thing I did was look at the dish and smell it. The pile of noodles looked.....well to be honest, it looked like a big pile of you know what. Not appetizing at all! But I was very hungry by this time, so I wanted to eat it anyway. As for the smell, it smelled fishy. If I were to close by eyes, I would have thought it was a plate of seafood. I had ordered Chicken with the Pad Thai, but I had to search and search for the chicken. It was like that old commercial; "Whers the Beef"? or Wheres Waldo. Waldo it seemed had left the building! As for the taste, well, like I said, I was hungry. It tasted fishy and that was about it. Everyone at our table said that they were very disappointed in the heat level of their dish. We all had to add sauce for flavor and heat. There were people in our party that said that the food here was good, so maybe they were just having an off day. It happens. But for me, I probably will not be going back. read more

I've been craving curry and this place hit the spot with their duck curry #4 spicy, chicken cashew and pad Thai entrees

My husband and I got their drunkin noodles. I can't say anything else besides it's very good. We ordered it to go, only took 15minutes. The meat was very tender! Which is nice...considering I've had the same meal at other places and I couldn't chew the meat. Our portions were not the same.. which was frustrating. I would definitely recommend it tho. read more

Best Thai. The food is so fresh, made to order, the service is amazing. Great atmosphere, clean, and perfect. I'm so happy to have found this little gem visiting from Denver. I will be back! Denver is a foodie city but this restaurant definitely belongs out there and is even better than most Thai places in Colorado. read more

2nd time there, had the fresh spring rolls, Tom kah gai and the fish (haddock). Everything was excellent. The fish was fried which I won't order again, it takes all the flavor out of it. We wanted to order the special, steamed fish but they told me they were out but then could try the haddock, strange. Perhaps it was prepared already. I'll come back and try more, just not the fried fish. read more

I talked my husband into actually trying a Thai dish instead of Chinese. He had the Birds Nest with Pork. I nibbled a few of the noodles while I was waiting for my meal and it was fantastic. I can't remember the name of my meal. It was E5 with broccoli and spinach, chicken, peanut sauce, and fried onions. I got it with medium spice. It did not disappoint! This is my 3 rd time here. I've eaten Pad Thai both of the other times, but I'm glad I decided to branch out. I've lived in many cities. There are probably other good Thai restaurants in the area, but I tend to stick to a good one when I find it. We'll be back. read more

We had Yellow Curry and Mongolian Beef. Our taste buds were VERY Pleased. Sooooo much flavor my mouth watered. Will DEFINITELY be back.

We are fond of their curries: green, yellow or red. Good depth of flavor, fast service and always pleasant. It's our go to place for Thai food. read more

The good: the food was on par with most Thai food. It was not bad but was not outstanding either. I would eat there again when I'm in the area. The BAD: they don't answer the phone , no way to put in a to go order without driving to the restaurant and then you have to set and wait on your order. I was ignored for about 20 minutes while they help others the came in after me. In all diving 5 minutes to the restaurant, waiting to order, waiting on the order and the 5 minutes back to the hotel, took an hour. If they would just take an order over the phone I could have waited comfortably in the hotel instead of seat in the restaurant for 50 minutes watching others eat. read more

The best place in town for Thai food, I am new in town and tried few places. So far this is most delicious and full of flavor. Thank you for your awesome service read more

This restaurant has THE BEST Thai food in the whole Boise, Meridian, Eagle, etc area. By far. No other place we have gone to has compared in any way to this place. Great portions, perfectly seasoned to your taste as they do ask your spice preference and are always spot on with it. You can taste the love and care that goes into every meal. I can't rave about this place enough. The service is fantastic! Staff are friendly, clean, quick, and courteous. You can even ask one of the fellas here to tell you a joke and he'll think one up for you! They are very nice and accommodating every time we come here. The absolute best. The restaurant is always clean, beautifully decorated, and delightful ambiance. I highly recommend going here for the nest Thai food experience. read more

It's a pretty average Thai restaurant, the reason I'd say that is because nothing stands out, nor did anything really disappoint me. Amongst the many dishes we ordered, the black pepper shrimp is a must try ! read more

We have been eating at this restaurant for 3 years . We placed a take out order like we have done in the past and we both were quite disappointed in the portion sizes and the quality of the food. We have never had an issue before but even the staff was rude when I picked up the order . I don't know if this has to do with the times we are going threw right now but I expected better then what we got ! read more

Came for lunch, ordered the drunken noodle lunch special and added the combo protein. I would rank this the best drunken noodles I've had at any Thai spot I've visited, and drunken noodles is a must order when I eat thai. Food came out quickly, service was superb. read more

Service was pleasant, and restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. I ordered Jasmine hot tea, summer rolls with pork, and Pad Thai with chicken. The Jasmine tea was wonderful, summer rolls were fine, but the pad Thai lacked flavor and was dark as if it had been sitting in a dark tasteless broth. Their menu says that this is a popular item. I recommend if you like Pad Thai that you consider a better option. Two stars for kind staff and reasonable prices. read more

Thai Basil - Thai Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

This place is super tasty! My husband and I love Thai food and we will definitely be back. We both enjoy spicy food and ordered medium for two of the dishes and spicy on a third. It didn't seem hot at first but it caught up to us and let's just say I quickly drank my Thai Iced Tea (which was delicious!). Stick with the mild if you don't like it hot. I have a peanut allergy and they were also great about accommodating that. read more

Really good food. I recommend this for people that wants to try thai food and you're away from home. read more
