    Seafood Cashew Nuts stir fry.
    Zee D.

    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. :)

    Chicken and Vegetables with Basil Sauce
    Phil B.

    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.

    Hot sake  They serve veer n wine. No hard liquor

    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. No liquor Need a return visit to try the typical Thai platters Located in walkable area on Beck ave in historic Saint Andrews area near the bay! Definitely stop at Burgunbarrel after for more wine and a cool vibe

    Fried Gyoza, also known as some places as potstickers
    Malacha F.

    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.

    Pineapple Fried Rice with Chicken and Shrimp
    Frank P.

    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.

    Seafood salad was the bomb
    Sala M.

    The food is authentic and amazing. Real Thai not some Chinese fusion. Great service.

    Server in blue shirt
    Sierra R.

    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.

    Came in here for lunch the other day because I wait try something different. As soon as I walked…read morein, I was greeted and seated. The server shared with me what they were famous for and gave me some great recommendations. I had the fried wontons for an appetizer. They were so good. They were crispy on the outside but full of chicken on the inside. My lunch entree was the shrine Pad Thai. All I can say is WOW!! Everything in this dish jumped out at you. From the flavorful noodles to the juicy shrimp, nothing disappointed from start to finish. This is definitely a go to on my list. If you want fresh, flavorful food that isn't commercial, get her tomorrow!!!

    I have decided to pity this place and give them 3 stars rather than the 2 I feel that they deserve,…read moremostly because they were quite busy and apparently had a lot of online orders. We arrive at 5:30 on a Tuesday. At the time of being seated, less than half of the tables were full. There was only one waitress for the entire restaurant, and despite the restaurant being mostly empty when we sat down, she took at least 10 minutes to bring us our drinks (which she got wrong the first time around). As an appetizer, we ordered the special Takoyaki which was squid stuffed balls of rice. We did not finish these on account of they were bad. It took at least 20 minutes for our food to arrive after ordering, and my partner's father was served his food well before my partner and I were given ours. My partner ordered the Bangkok Chicken which was decent, and I ordered the Chicken Lomein which was not great. In my whole entire dish, there were 2 tiny pieces of broccoli and there were not any other vegetables, which was disappointing. Also - not necessarily her fault, but since the kitchen was so behind and the one waitress was covering the whole restaurant, they had someone from the back running food and drinks out to tables and it was very clearly her first time doing this. She got drinks wrong multiple times, handed us a to-go box that was leftover from the dirty table behind us, and all around was just clearly not trained to be waitressing. It was an unfortunate situation, but because of that, the service was just painful.

    First time here but definitely will not be the last! Atmosphere is great very good vibe we went on…read morea Saturday night and it was packed inside and out so I feel that reservations are a must at least on weekend nights. We ordered a round of drinks I got their old fashioned which was great! They also have a wagyu tallow inspired old fashioned as well, more on that here in a minute. Staff were super friendly and didn't keep us waiting. Inside seating is rather limited, but they do make up for that with what I'd say is a larger proportion outdoor seating. The tables and seating outside tho are done well and not like cheap patio furniture. The food; so there are a few other sushi/ Asian fusion places in the area but this one is a Strong contender!! The rolls were excellent if you would rather have the more traditional Nigiri or Sashimi they have those options as well. We had the spicy salmon and Mahi machi rolls and they were so delicious that we ordered another round!! Which brings me to the last item as we were too full to try any desert a friend and I did opt for the Wagyu tallow inspired old fashioned. While it was good it just seems to taste like the other original we had ordered. Perhaps there was a mixup or that was the intent, but the price didn't back up the difference which was more expensive. YMMV on that one but something to keep in mind. Bottom line is if you are in the 30A Rosemary beach area and craving sushi with some good vibes do not pass this place up!! We will be coming back!!

    They have expansive menu; sushi and stir fry. The sushi we ordered were fresh and well prepared…read more The stir fry options were ok. We ordered the wagyu beef stir fry which was decent, and slightly on the sweet side. The white rice was very dry. The fried rice was also on the sweet side and the chicken was way over cooked. The peanut noodles was ok, not something that I would recommend. The 2 dishes that I would recommend are the Spicy Seafood that comes with noodles and their Ramen. The broth for the Ramen was very flavorful. The Spicy Seafood dish came with calamari, scallops and shrimp and the sauce was spicy and not overly sweet. The fam also enjoyed their fried cheese cake dessert which I didn't try. Be warned, this is a very expensive Asian restaurant so be prepared to spend some money. Our waiter was great and very attentive. I didn't get to check out the decor inside because we were sat outside which was not ideal because it has a view of the parking lot. But I'm sure it was really nice inside based on the menu price.

    Repeat customer here, and unfortunately this experience was frustrating and left a bad taste…read more After work, I called in an order for chicken pad thai, gyoza, summer rolls, and beef salad. They asked for the name multiple times, repeated the order back to me, and I specifically mentioned the chicken pad thai again to confirm the order before ending the call. When I got home, I realized there was no chicken pad thai in the order -- instead, we received chicken satay. I called the restaurant, and after looking it up by name, I realized they had entered the wrong name entirely. I ordered under "Jacob," but they somehow placed it under "Kalab." What was disappointing was how the situation was handled afterward. I was told I needed to drive back to the restaurant, return the chicken satay, and pay the price difference for the pad thai -- even though the mistake originated from the restaurant. With gas prices the way they are, asking a customer to make another trip and pay extra to correct the restaurant's error doesn't feel right. It also felt strange to be asked to bring back food that had already left the restaurant. Once food leaves the establishment, it typically can't be reused or reserved for anyone else, so it raised questions about what the purpose of returning it even was. Mistakes happen, and I understand that. But customer service is really defined by how those mistakes are resolved.
