Closed for renovations no date for opening yet. They should up date their open time on YELP!

Food is always great. Cooked to your taste! Lovely lady takes orders and I love the tree growing through restaurant!

The service was quick and the food was delicious! One person ordered a shrimp Pud Thai with no hot spice. It came perfect for her. I had the seafood noodle dish with a #2 spice level. It was wonderful with a good variety of fresh seafood. I also ordered the fresh hookups as an appetizer and they came with shrimp inside. read more

Food was tasteless, service was bad, restaurant was not clean. I honestly have no idea how this place has a rating above a 3. Might have been an off-night, however I do not think I will give Thai Basil another shot. How does a Thai restaurant mess up Pad Thai? read more

Cute business just off the harbor. Went for lunch. We were hungry and the place wasn't very busy. Several couples seemed to be enjoying their meals as we walked in. A good sign. Wifey ordered Yellow chicken curry with vegetables. Heaping bowl of ingredients swimming in a light curry sauce. Not too hot, just not night. Was served with white rice. Heat index was 1, as requested. I had the Thai Basal fried rice with chicken. I know, not to extravagant. Chicken serving was a little light, but taste was very good. Spice level was low at my request. On second thought, I'd pump that up in the future to a 2 or 3, rather than a 1. The hit of the day was the spring rolls. Homemade by owner. Tightly rolled vegetables in a multiple layer, thin, wrapping and deep fried to perfection. Dipping sauce, kind of a plumb sauce, was superb. Homemade too! We enjoyed our meal. Would definitely return. Value was very good and staff were polite and helpful. Highly recommend without any reservations. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

This place is a dirty dump. The concrete floor is painted . It just is dumpy and the food and service is very bad. I do not recommend

AMAZING FOOD and SERVICE. Great quality, great price! I am critical when it comes to Asian food. The Thai food her won't disappoint; very authentic. The flavor and spice is very good (not sweet or salty; perfect). I absolutely love the papaya salad as well but inhaled it before taking a photo. :) read more

Must Try: Crispy Tofu and Lobster Pad Thai! Why: We really wanted Asian cuisine since we've been having tons of seafood, but when we saw Lobster Pad Thai, we had to try! It did not disappoint and the dish was huge! We ended up getting a to-go box. To our surprise, it also came with shrimp on top of the lobster chunks. We also liked the Crispy Tofu, which was plentiful and delicious with the Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. The Spring Rolls were ok and came with three rolls. I washed everything down with an Iced Thai Tea and it was refreshing! Note: Really neat restaurant in the corner. Parking right in front. We came around 11:30am on a Saturday and there were two other parties eating, so enough parking. When we left around 12:30pm, the restaurant was getting full and all the parking spaces were taken in front. Restaurant seemed much bigger inside when walking in. They also offer sushi, which you can see the sushi bar right when you walk in. Workers were really friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our lunch and would definitely come back! read more

We got pad Thai and sweet and sour chicken. Both were great! Service was friendly and quick as well!

The worst service ever! The waiter was really rude. We got there 215 and the kitchen was gonna close at 3. He let us know that as soon as we entered. We got our food at 245 and he told us that we will be closing in 15 mins so hurry up and eat our food. At 255 he brings in the check with all the containers and starts packing the left over food on the table while we are still eating. The waiter was very rude. If he had let us know that the restaurant was closing at 3 and not the kitchen. We would have never sat down to eat and taken the food to go. read more

First time trying Thai Basil. We are locals and always looking for a new place to try. My wife had the Thai Fried rice with chicken and I had the Basil stir fry with chicken. Overall, both dishes were excellent. My wife had spice level 1 and it had very little spice, but well seasoned. I had the level 2 and it definitely had a kick. Would probably try a level 1 next time. The Basil sauce was excellent. The spice levels are from 1 to 5. Cannot imagine what a level 5 would be. Overall, would definitely return when in the area. We live in PCB, so it is quite a drive during busy season. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. read more

Full disclosure, I'm not a big Thai food fan, but my wife wanted to try this place, so here we are. We started with the crab rangoon and dumplings, both were incredibly tasty and flavorful. I enjoyed the pork dumplings more. The rangoon didn't seem to have very much filling, but they were crispy and savory. We moved on to the soups ordering Miso and Wonton. The Miso soup was ok, but not as flavorful as my wife would have liked. The Wonton soup was a generous portion, packed with veggies and dumplings that satisfied my craving. Moving on to entrees, we ordered the sweet and sour shrimp and the chicken and vegetables with basil sauce. I wasn't a big fan of the sweet and sour shrimp. Although it was loaded with shrimp and vegetables, the sauce wasn't sweet at all. I didn't even eat my dish, because I couldn't get past the taste of the sauce - I couldn't tell if the shrimp was too fishy or if there was just too much vinegar in the sauce, but I knew I didn't like it. Again - I'm not a big Thai foodie, so maybe it's just me and my expectations for sweet and sour sauce shouldn't be paired with how it is at my favorite Chinese restaurant (Dragon Inn of Kansas City). My wife enjoyed her dish, it was well seasoned with tender bites of chicken. However, in my opinion, the real star of the meal was the house fried rice. It was a large, delicious portion of veggies and fried rice cooked to perfection. We both enjoyed our side dish and ate every bite. Hands down one of the best in town. I'd go back for the fried rice alone! The service was friendly and attentive - no complaints there. I'm sure Thai Basil is every bit worthy of a 4 or 5 star review as others have shared, but I'm stuck on the fact that I couldn't eat my dish, so 3 stars is all I can muster up for now. read more

For the Thai side, all I had was tofu Tom Kha soup. I did have a special sushi roll with soft shell crab topped with filet mignon! I ate that bastard all on my own. Shouldn't have! Is a must-share. So filling Hot sake cos I had a sore throat! this is a beer and wine only.

After traveling from Las Vegas, and being here for a few days I was craving some Thai food. Decided to give this place a try. It's a cute restaurant near the water. Their parking lot is a bit small but I was able to find parking right away. And I was greeted upon arrival. Ordered their summer rolls. I was a bit disappointed. It barely had any shrimp in it. The sauce was more of a curry peanut dipping sauce as opposed to the usual hoisin & peanut butter sauce it usually comes with. It's fine tho, some places can make it different than others. I just won't be ordering that again. Had their yellow curry with chicken. I felt like it was more on the watery side. Other than the thickness of the curry, it tasted pretty good. It had a decent amount of chicken, and lots of veggies. Also had their Pad Thai noodles. That did not disappoint. It had lots of flavor and it came with a good amount of noodles! read more

Our meals were excellent, service friendly, atmosphere was chill, location very nice as well! Forgot to take pictures sorry. good place!

I needed another Thai food fix while we're on our travels so while staying in Panama City Beach in our RV, we stopped at Thai Basil so I could get her to go order!!! The inside was not very large, but looked clean and comfortable. I ordered the drunken noodles.(again) flavor wise. These were more traditional than the last location I was at in Sarasota. Flavor was awesome not a ton of vegetables on there, but I did get the chicken which was tender and perfectly cooked. I also got the pan fried dumplings, which I'm gonna say are probably some of the best that I've tasted since moving from San Diego. And the crispy spring rolls which were also very good! They said it would be 15 minutes, but it was more like 25 but I'm not gonna take a star off for that because it looked kind of crowded on the inside.... If we lived in the area, this would definitely be a regular stop for me on a weekly basis lol. read more

I really like this quaint little Thai food restaurant near the beach. It has turned into quite the local hotspot as we have emerged from lockdown. I usually get the pineapple chicken and shrimp. This dish is a floor explosion! The peppers and onions really add a nice kick. I also like the portions sizes the offer and how hearty their meals are. They also have a pretty good craft beer selection. I like that they serve most of the beer the offer in pints. Restaurants like this make trips to Panama City worthwhile. read more

OMG! Visiting from the Maryland Northern Virginia area where there is a lot of great Asian/Thai food I was so amazed at my dinner tonight. Absolutely perfect and I knew that you guys have access to large Gulf Shrimp that just made my dinner all the better. Even though I ordered the spiciest on the menu I did want Thai spicy. Nevertheless, the flavor was amazing and I hope to see you next time I am here. read more

Worst absolute service in the entire world. This server right here in the blue shirt was extremely rude from the very beginning. Extremely slow, it took 45 mins for our server to come take our order and took over two hours to be fully served. I do not recommend going to this place...food wasn't even good. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. read more

Went here from out of town with my family. When we walked in we immediately were hit with a smell of mold. I went into the restroom and on the way there was black mold everywhere. The floorboards, kitchen, bathrooms, etc. We ended up leaving immediately and told the other customers and the manager acted like she did not care about the situation. It was disgusting and I would not recommend going here. read more

Thai Basil was highly recommended by our friend who is a regular. We ordered the spring rolls, shumai, the Grouper special, the yellow curry with beef, the pad woon sen with chicken and the mango sticky rice for dessert. Everything was delicious and the flavors were on point! My only complaint is that they seemed understaffed so it took a while to get our order in. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be back on our next visit to PCB! read more

Ordered delivery. Tom ka soup was good. Don't be afraid to order more heat as a 2 didn't seem like anything. Fresh veggies in it outweighed the overcooked chicken. Pa Thai with tofu was everyone's favorite and I would definitely recommend. Red curry was disappointing as it was so watery with minimal veggies and tough overcooked chicken. Cucumber salad and summer rolls were refreshing. Was surprised to see celery in the summer rolls but added a nice crunch and the peanut sauce was a hit. read more

Worst service I've had in a long time. Decided to try Thai basil in Panama City. We found out that they closed at 3 PM so we got there at 2:20 as soon as we opened the door the staff had a scowl on their faces. We told them there would be six people, and they told us to take the six top in the back corner of the restaurant. We asked if we could sit at the 8 top in the middle of the restaurant and the woman seating us said she would have to ask the owner because she was concerned that eight people might come in behind us. Even though there were 2 -4 top tables right next to each other that could be pushed together if that did happen. By the way the restaurant was virtually empty. Everybody ordered their food, and as it came out the waitress announced "who had this dish" and then she would hand it to the person at the end of the table, expecting them to pass it down even if it was a bowl of hot soup, which is pretty dangerous to be passing around . At one point one person at our table asked for more napkins and the wait staff brought out small cocktail napkins then later another from our group asked for napkins and the waitress when to the end of the table and grabbed some of the few cocktail napkins she brought earlier. Another one of our group members had to get up and go ask for more water . Then when the bill came, I noticed that my entrée was three dollars more than what the menu had printed. She told me it was because I asked for sticky rice even though when I asked if I could have sticky rice, they told me that's what the dish came with. For this service we weren't going to tip, but they had already added 18% tip to the bill so I guess that's why she didn't feel like she had to give good service. Over all the food was delicious which accounts for my 3 star review. My advice. Get the food to go. It will taste much better at home without the sassy service. And when you do. Don't tip. They don't deserve it. read more

As much as a buddy of mine and I go on road trips, I usually pick where we go. Much to my dismay, it would be fair for me to give him a choice. I might revoke his choices from now on though. I think he purposely picks Asian not because he liked it but because I'm indifferent to it to say the least. Thai Basil actually has a lot going for it when it comes to atmosphere. You cannot miss this odd looking building in downtown Panama City in front of the marina. It is shaped weird inside and the color scheme is a lot of green. The older lady as the hostess was waaay too nice but I think she has trouble understanding English. The menu has photos to help you make your choice. I looked at the photos on the menu and the photos on Yelp. I saw a disturbing theme...soupy food. Did I mention that soup is something I don't care for and what's worse is the middle ground of solid food but sitting in a pool of soup. I asked the waitress is the garlic entree or sweet and sour was better. She recommended the sweet and sour. I am thinking of Chinese sweet and sour. Unfortunately, it was nothing like it. It was like the chef cut up a lot vegetables, boiled a chicken breast in a pan with no seasoning, and dumped soup on it. I had made something like this before and it was possibly my worst made meal ever. And this was a slight step above it. Gyoza was the appetizer we ordered and it was by far the best food of the night. I sampled my friend's Pork Pad Thai. It was better than mine. What irks me the most is that I wasted a meal and money on an unflavorful mess when I am missing out on my favorite foods. My friend's future choices will be revoked. read more

Grouper and Red Snapper are extremely on point. Love the sauce on top. The summer rolls and calamari are great appetizers.

We ordered pineapple fried rice and miss Thailand as well as a spicy tuna roll. Also we ordered drinks (soda and water) as well as hot tea. The hot tea never showed up but we were not charged. The fried rice dish was good but the pineapple fried rice dish is explained as: Chicken, pork, shrimp, egg, onion, pea, carrots, tomatoes, cashew nut & curry powder. This is my husbands favorite dish everywhere we go. He's also allergic to dairy. We knew within a few minutes of eating it that it had dairy in it somehow. Not sure how. Miss Thailand was decent shrimp and scallops were slightly over cooked IMO and sauce could've been more basil forward. Also the spicy tuna roll was below average... it just didn't taste right. They were not busy on a Saturday and I was surprised. We may try it again. read more

My home, PCB is home to great seafood when in season, but in between then Thai cuisine is the hit in this town. Of course, not all Thai is the same, but the tastes, flavors, and sauces give me authentic Thai. During my to-go run during the COVID crisis I ordered Thai fried rice with beef, miso soup, spring rolls and Thai tea--superb! My fiancé and sister, who are picky eaters, thoroughly enjoyed the food and complimented the service, cleanliness and professionalism of the restaurant. When we visit our nana next month we will be back read more

Little spot downtown St. Andrews with a few parking spots in front of the store. We ordered the daily sushi special (surf & turf) that came with miso soup, the chef special lobster & shrimp pad thai, & the crispy duck. Miso soup, bomb...not one single miso soup has disappointed me. However the surf & turf sushi was very mid. The filet mignon just didn't taste right on the sushi & the textures/temperatures didn't go well. My bf liked it, maybe I'm just picky. Pad Thai was very disappointing. It was somehow lacking flavor while being too tangy. They did give a good amount of shrimp & lobster though. Crispy duck was the lifesaver for this meal. I got it with the basil sauce & it comes with a side of jasmine rice. The skin on the duck was in fact crispy, the flavors worked well with all the veggies & sauce, & the duck wasnt dry. The only thing I would do to improve this entree is add more duck meat. I got a lot of skin (which was great) but more meat would've been better. Will definitely come back for the crispy duck & to give the other entrees a try read more

We eat lunch here today. Sushi was pretty good. I had the drunken noodles, I loved it!! Packed with flavor!! My husband had the ship fried rice. It was cooked perfectly. The portions were great.

Today marks the 2nd time my wife and I visited this place while walking around the St. Andrew's area. We were a bit hungry for a light lunch / snack so we stopped by for 2 orders of fresh spring rolls to take out. (totaled around $18). The misses found thick black hair in 2 of the 6 pieces of spring roll in her order. Unfortunately I don't feel like driving back down there from Lynn Haven to express my gut wrenching displeasure, however, we will never return to Thai Follicle restaurant. I can tolerate slow service and even mediocre food but poor hygiene / sanitation is a game changer. read more

This is a great Thai restaurant! Tried it for the first time and we weren't disappointed. We were seated right away on a Saturday evening for dinner and our server was prompt. We ordered vegetable spring rolls as an appetizer along with Thai iced tea. Both were good. Then I tried their basil chicken, spice level 4 and it was perfect! Their pineapple fried rice with shrimp and chicken was equally good and very flavorful. I loved how quickly the food arrived. Service was excellent and so was the food. Next time I look forward to trying their red curry, pad Thai and drunken noodles. All those looked good. Definitely give this restaurant a try! read more

The taste of food is important, but service is too! I placed a to go order at 6:06pm that included spring rolls, sweet and sour chicken, and thai fried rice with chicken and shrimp. I was told it would be ready in 20-25 minutes. I arrived in 25 and paid in cash. It is now 7:07pm and I still do not have my order. As I sit here, I realize many others are waiting too. The dining room is probably half full so I'm confused as to what's going on. While about to write something else...the chef comes out to look at my receipt and see what I ordered. Stars went from 3 to 2. AND a man came in to sit down to eat, waited at the host desk for a solid 5-7 minutes and then walked out...as he should've considering he was never greeted. I have ordered here before and the food was so good and fresh, but after the service I just experienced tonight...never again! Just an update...I received my food at 7:15 with no apologies or any comment on how long I had been there waiting. Outside of the hard and cold spring rolls, everything else turned out okay... read more

The service was great. They were very sweet and attentive. The papaya salad was a little on the spicy side, but really good as well as the gyoza.

I'd be down to go back and try the pad Thai but other than that, I was a little disappointed. The ambiance was lacking as well. read more
