Chicken lo mein, can't see the steam rising from it but it was piping hot.
Leigh L.

Average at best. More fried rice than Szechuan chicken, in fact it hardly had any chicken. Asked for it extra spicy and it wasn't spicy at all. There are to many Chinese restaurants around to get this poor meal.

Very dry old chicken, you can also tell this is old see the corn is all shriveled.
Danielle F.

I was encouraged when my delivery came...the fried dumplings were good, the hot and sour soup also good. My Chicken cashew was a huge disappointment and I couldn't eat it so that is super disappointing. The flavor was good but the chicken was concerning, after two bites it was a hard NO. it was like they used left over old crusty chicken.

Shrimp Mei Fun
Samantha P.

I read the reviews before ordering our food. I was so excited to try it based off of a couple of reviews. I ordered the Shrimp Mei Fun and boy was I shocked when I tried it. It had no color, and absolutely ZERO seasoning/taste. I am truly annoyed. I was really looking forward to eating one of my favorites. It's been such a long tike since I've had Mei Fun noodles. I usually give a place 3 tries before I am done. I am done here.

Red curry tofu
Jennifer H.

The dryest red curry I've ever had. Barely any sauce. I got spicy, but can barely taste any spice, it's maybe the equivalent of a 2 or 3 out at another restaurant on a scale of 1-5. The dish also has mushrooms and cilantro which is a little weird, but I can deal with that. It's the dryness that makes this dish inedible for me. I tried and got about half way, but I seem to have eaten the tiny bit of liquid I had with my dish already and I used it sparingly with my rice as there was barely any to begin with. I'm not sure why this place has such rave reviews by people. If you like authentic Thai, this is definitely not the place to go. If you just want a quick mediocre bite of whatever this is, have at it.

Thai Basil

I absolutely love Thai Basil, it's clean, the owner is so kind, she is always in a good mood to serve her customers. She answers the phone ALWAYS and is so good at her job. Her workers, always seem to be working hard behind the counters and the food is delicious every time. Always packed so nicely and safely. Thai Basil is a great restaurant that I keep coming back to. A sweet spot in the oakleaf commons.

Fried bug in my food!!

This was my second time eating here with the first being almost 2 years ago. It was for a…read moregraduation party so we came with about 30 people. Prior reservations were made so we were quickly seated. The aesthetics of this place is so nice and the service is on the same level. The food came out quickly and I loved the portion sizes on everything. Everything we ordered was 10/10. The curry with the roti was a little spicy but still so flavorful. I ordered the veggie fried basil rice and spring rolls which were all amazing. My friend loved her ragoons and the sushi seemed to impress everyone who ordered. The food is plated in a way that tells you the kitchen cares. I did love the little robot that was moving around helping the waitresses. Overall this was a great experience and I'm happy to see Uber Eats offers their rice bogo .

Came in last Saturday while visiting family and chose this place after spending a good amount of…read moretime reading reviews. We were bringing the whole family and hoping for a fun night, but unfortunately the experience didn't match the ratings. From the start, the tone felt off. When I called to make the reservation, the host immediately said, "We don't seat incomplete parties. We only wait 5 minutes or we give the table away." The policy itself is understandable, but the delivery came across harsh and unwelcoming. A more thoughtful approach like, "We kindly ask that your full party arrives within 5 minutes, otherwise we may need to seat other guests," would have felt very different. When we arrived early and asked if we could be seated sooner (with the rest of our party just minutes away), we were met with the same response again, which felt unnecessary given that there were several empty tables. Unfortunately, the service inside didn't improve. Our initial waiter was inattentive and at times dismissive. We had to ask for basic things like utensils and plates for shared appetizers, and the responses often came with an unwelcoming tone. At one point, when I asked for a plate and knife to share, the interaction became uncomfortable, and I ended up asking to speak with someone. The situation was handled poorly, and the waiter did not return. On the food side, I ordered the Massaman chicken curry at the lowest spice level, and it was still too spicy to enjoy. That said, most of my family did enjoy their meals, which I appreciated. Thankfully, a different waitress stepped in later and was kind and attentive--if the service had been like that from the beginning, the experience likely would have been very different. I also spoke with the manager, Jorge, who was receptive to the feedback and said he would address the issues, which I did appreciate. Overall, I was really disappointed given the strong reviews and the lively atmosphere happening around us. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I wouldn't return.

I can honestly say with all the times I have been there and it's more than I can count, never have. I had a bad meal! The food is always the freshest and it's always served piping hot. Their vegetables are just crunchy enough to know they're fresh but still have their flavor. Their portions are ginormous. You definitely get your moneys worth with the highest quality dinner or lunch you could ever ask. The service beyond stellar! Because I go there so much and they know me so well I don't even have to tell them what I want to drink they bring it automatically. They truly treat their customers like family and that's a rarity these days! They truly care about their customers and they remember who they are. I listened to them with other tables and they take just as an active interest in them as they do Me. That's the sign of quality. I love the ambience because they always have fresh flowers and they're always dust free. So many times you'll go into places in the plants have dust on them not here. Someone truly takes care of the greenery and it is green! It's also very interesting to watch the TV screens as they do demonstrations of various Thai food preparation. I've been to numerous Thai places in Jacksonville. None can hold a candle to this one. Moreover, when I lived on the West Coast in California and I went to some fantastic Thai restaurants, they don't compare to this one! You can never go wrong here.

Fast…read morefood chains, questionable greasy spoons and all sorts of fake "authentic" food; the various so-called "italian pizza" places confirm this. But finally, after numerous trips to this area, my wife and I stumbled upon this actually authentic ethnic place- and it's a thai place to boot! Siam Thai has a wonderful menu, full of goodies- the Panang Curry whether with pork, beef, chicken or shrimp- is nothing short of outstanding. The spring rolls rock; the Basil Duck is to die for. Everything is made FRESH. The degree of heat on dishes is based on a 1 to 5 scale; they will ask you every time for it. The family that runs the place are wonderful, friendly people who really do want to give you a great dining experience. Siam Thai is open Monday through Saturday. They serve lunch 11am to 2:30pm, dinner 4pm to 9:30pm. They accept all credit cards. Next time back in Jacksonville, we'll be back!!!

My biggest complaint was that the chicken seemed to have been boiled in water, and then just added to each dish as necessary. So it was rather rubbery and lacked flavor. It would have improved the food a lot if they had just cooked the chicken in the sauce for each dish.

Our hopes instantly died once we reached the 20 minute mark and no one came for our orders or anything. We nearly walked out. It's a sushi and Thai place so I ordered Thai food, the Thai basil to be exact. Once it finally came out 40 minutes later, it was a dish with a heavy tomato based sauce and no Thai basil but regular basil. It was a huge disappointment. I also paid 3$+ to add chicken to the dish and only had 1 sliver of chicken in the entire dish. Extremely disappointing, the dish wasn't even Thai basil aka pad krapow, it was gross. I tried to get the attention of waiters/waitresses so we could get the checks and leave. But I was ignored several times by multiple people. Will not be back.
