I decided to try something different in Phoenix. I usually do not get Thai food in the states, I usually order it when I'm traveling over seas. I had the yellow chicken curry. It was delicious! The portion was big and I thought it was reasonably prices. I had plenty to take home. The service was just okay, but the food made up for it!! read more

Wow, been patronizing Basil for 3 years, massive, massive failure Friday. normaling 4-4.5, 4 -bowl movements next day: WTF. yes extermely disappointing is being polite. WTF happennend. Pieces of chicken were shitty small and tasted like crap, buried underneath drunken noodles...Four times cooked. Are they off of another plate uneaten. Lost my appetite. Did i say Wow WTF. Apparrently minimal over sight. i would use vulgarities, but you get the idea... Usually best Tom Kha Gai in town HBG, wow WTF did they do.. read more

First time at this Thai Basil. Been to four others across the valley. I arrived at 11:15 on a Tuesday and there were 8 other parties (about 1/5 full). My lunch arrived quickly, within 7 mins but my ginger salad was delivered faster. The traffic picked up as I ate. The service was mostly efficient but I did feel a bit ignored. I think they view lunch as bang, bang get them out concept. The meal was fine (standard Pad Thai) but forgettable. read more

I'm surprised this place has 3.5 stars, whoever cooked the food when we were there back in March made the best duck pad Thai and pad see ew we have ever had! Still looking for a place that matches it and we've always come up short read more

This place is always a great lunch stop! They're affordable, fast, and delicious!! I usually get yellow curry with chicken, very mild and filling I've also had the Thai fried rice, which was just spot on One of my must haves if it is in season is the mango sticky rice - I crave it if it's been too long!! Definitely come and stop here if you haven't before, you won't regret it! read more

The ambiance here is pleasant. The staff is efficient and friendly enough. The food is outstanding. We have recommended to other people and have been back for more yummy. Thank you, enjoy it! read more

Ordered the duck green curry. The duck was really dry and tasted old. The curry and veggies were ok. The service was terrible. We were left alone from ordering until it bill time by a guy waiter. Normally Thai is delish everywhere I've been. Only one dish at the table was finished... Won't be returning read more

Started going here for lunch and would get the BBQ chicken. They mess the order up constantly. I ended up paying $11 for chicken and lettuce. Called back and they said they would make it up the next day so I went in and they gave me extra rice to make up for it. Said they wouldn't offer a free meal or do half price. Irritated i agreed on the extra rice. Got back to the office and they forgot to give me the spring roll that is included. Called back and said sorry but didn't offer to do anything. Needless to say I wont be returning as the order is never complete. read more

This is a great place for a light quick lunch. The food is hot and fresh and arrives quickly. The garlic chicken is my favorite. read more

The service here is super super fast - like so fast I'm pretty sure they asked me what I wanted to drink before I even sat down. Service like this can be appreciated downtown, so I have no complaints. I think spending 1.5 hours at lunch when you need to get back to work and on the clock can be infuriating - so I really liked how fast we were in and out. I got the Chicken Pad Thai lunch - I ordered it hot but it's not insanely hot. It was cheap too maybe somewhere in the $7.50 range and comes with a free house salad. Also, a free egg roll with the meal. It's in the same plaza right next to Starbucks and Jimmy Johns. Easy parking and positive experience. read more

Thai Basil - Chicken Pad Thai lunch (ordered hot) - Thai Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I love ordering their food Thai-Hot (thats the hottest you can get here). If you like you're food spicy, you can't go wrong. Their pre-meal salads; which come with every dine-in meal, has an awesome salad dressing. They also sell their salad dressing for ($5) to take home. I forget how many oz. they said it was. I think its close to 12 or 16, but don't quote me on it. Every meal seems to come with a slice of fresh cut watermellon. The watermellon is a nice refreshing pre or post meal snack and also light on the added calories; although the rest of the meal may not be. My favorite dish is their garlic dish; either rice or noodle, ive had it with chicken and tofu before. The tofu is prepared in such a way that it has a crispy outside and a buttery inside. I don't think that I've ever ordered a tofu dish before and thought "I might order this again some time." Their lunch meals will cost you about $10-$11 after tax + tip, so I don't visit all the time, but they are a great choice if you can't stop thinking about thai food and you're in the midtown area near central ave and thomas. read more

It wasn't remarkably fabulous but the food was good and the place was packed. I'd return. read more

Went with a large group that the server handled well and efficiently. I ordered the crispy shrimp in tofu skins for an appetizer and everyone who tasted them was impressed with how well prepared and delicious they were,had the Penang curry with chicken for entree..absolutely perfect ingredients and spice level..what an absolute gem of a restaurant! read more

I can eat at this place everyday! I love Thai basil great food and friendly people. I got my family addicted to there food

Mango Shrimp salad only had 2 shrimps. How is that appropriate? DO BETTER THAI BASIL.

My wife is a big fan, and now I am too! She told me about the salad dressing and how yummy it is. I said ok but I'm getting soup because I love soup. We arrived on a Saturday and it was just a wonderful experience from start to finish. We did not even have to order salad, it just came to us right away. And salad dressing is zingy and super tasty! The WOW! A menu just for soups! Pick your broth, meat, noodle, and it comes in a big bowl as a meal. So many veggies in it. Even cabbage. Love cabbage cooked just right and not thin and witty. Carrots just right too. Soup has to be hot. It was! Love the spice, clear noodles, and believe it or not that soup somehow stayed hot the whole time I was sucking it down. Yeah, I think I highly recommend the soup. Service was good too but it was not busy. And I enjoyed my Thai coffee as well. 5 stars on this Thai-day Saturday! read more

This restaurant stayed open a few minutes after hours so I could pick up a meal while my wife was hospitalized. I didn't know what to order so they set me up with Thai Basil. It was excellent and I have come back a second time with wife;) and enjoyed the meal a second time. Highly recommended. read more

Yummy Thai! Looking for dinner in the area, we would have this place had it not been for Yelp! and the positive reviews. After locating it next to the Starbucks, we parked and piled in. Service was fast and polite. There's a good menu full of options that should cover every palate. The patio setting on a nice night is not pretty. But, you're there for the food/service and not the sights, right? The meal: 1) Apps: Tom yum soup and chicken satay were tasty. I'm not usually a fan of peanut sauces, but theirs rocked. 2) The salad and dressing also received compliments around the table. 3) Yellow Curry with chicken, Siamese Salad, Beef Thai Basil, and fried rice (for our little girl) all made our group happy. Flavors are excellent, meats were tender and flavorful, and the portion sizes were perfect. We'll definitely visit this place, again. read more

Pad Thai was yummy as always, and it came with salad and a spring roll for lunch. I liked the dressing, wonder what it's made of. Initial service was prompt, and they brought the check out early, but it took them a while to pick up our credit cards. From the map it looks like you can get here from 3rd Ave but the shopping area is right off Central Ave. read more

Coconut Soup and Masaman Curry had great flavor, texture, and portion size. The Pad Thai Chicken was a nice portion but lacked some of that peanut flavor I crave in a good pad Thai noodle. The Thai tea was very flavorful and colorful. read more

no flavor to the food. Simply boiled noodles with some vegetables given for the Thai noodles

I've enjoyed a few meals at this establishment over the last 2 years. It is easy to find, clean, priced well and fast. The clientele during lunch is predominantly local office workers. The ambiance is nice, they are friendly and the food is good. I would recommend this establishment to family & friends. read more

A+. Stopped in for the first time and had lunch. Ate sweet nut curry with shrimp. I ordered it medium spice after talking with our waitress for a slight bite of fire but not to the point of too hot to feel it burn. Perfect and would recommend this dish. Plan to make it back and add to our list for regular visits. read more

Yesterday I was craving some Thai and after another restaurant wasn't open we were going to go to we decided to try out Thai Basil. It is located in the mall off central and is a small little place with decent decor. Upon walking in we were greated and told to take the open table in the corner. We were handed menu's and after about 10 min our waiter came to take our orders. For me it was a bit longer then needed but whatever I was ready to try out the food. So I ordered the Panang Curry which is one of my favorite Thai dishes and Laura got the Pad Thai everyone said was the best here. After about another 10 min we got our food her's came out a good couple min before mine which I thought was not professional but ok at least her's was hot and mine was too when they came out. So I sampled her Pad Thai and it was good but not what I had been reading in reviews as everyone said it was amazing. My dish was just ok the curry had no spice to it at all. So overall it was ok Thai food there are plenty other places in town that I feel are better so I probably will head to them when I want more Thai. read more

Came here for lunch during training at Interface, I was feeling sick so I just wanted a soup with tons of vegetables. They were friendly and fast. I asked for a recommendation and I ended up ordering some sort of bean noodles soup... with lots of vegetables. The only thing is that like mid lunch I realized the menu said the soup had mushroom and my bowl didn't have any. I got the attention of one of the servers and asked it about that. He apologized an offered to get me some. I got a small bowl with mushrooms, when I put them in the bowl the soup was kind of cold for raw mushrooms, but my left over the next day were delicious : ) Good place for lunch. read more

Well. I just found metal in my lunch. I was chewing and thought perhaps it was bone. Nope. Metal. Ordered Thai Basil (pad-ga-pao Signature Dish). read more

Thai Basil - Well. I just found metal in my lunch. - Thai Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This spot is the best for lunch. Drive up and there's plenty of parking. Walk in and seat yourself on inside or on their lovely outdoor patio. Their quick and friendly staff will promptly bring you waters and a small salad with their delicious and tangy signature dressing. Their dishes use a lot of fresh vegetables and can be ordered as spicy or not spicy if you need. When I'm feeling healthy, I'll order something with tofu and extra veggies. The tofu is soft and creamy, and in some dishes it is lightly fried, yum! Finish off with a Thai coffee to fight the post-lunch lethargy and I'm ready to head back to the office. read more

I wish I could give a negative star rating. Just got take out from this place and the it is not only the worst thai food I have ever had, it might be the worst food I have ever had from a restaurant. Ordered vegetable yellow curry and it is nothing but carrots and onions and no other veggies. 90% carrots and no flavor. Ordered crab fried rice and it had no visible crab and the rice was hard and crunchy with an odd flavor to it. Also got crab puffs and they aren't puffs, but more like flat fried triangles with some cream cheese in them. The food is inedible. read more

This was an unexpected find here in Phoenix, a good noodle shop. I really enjoy the rice noodles with chicken or beef both are great. I have not tired the coconut soup but many other customers have been ordering in when I have gone in for take out and rave about it so that will be one on the list to try. They have dine in or take out. The servers are very pleasant and give good recommendations or explanations of the dishes. I would have given them 5 stars but the service can be a little slow but well worth the wait. read more

I only ate here 3 times in my life- got take out orders and all 3 times they screwed my order up! Last time was the final straw when I asked for a #12 off the lunch menu. Got my lunch and it totally wasn't what I asked for. When I called, they said "oh you got a #12 off the dinner menu!" ...Why would I order off the dinner menu and 11:30am???! Said they can't do refunds too so they'd give me a "credit" for the next time I came in. Obviously haven't been back so they can keep the credit. read more

I have never eaten here before. But I was craving Thai food and this was the first Thai restaurant suggested in my DoorDash app so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the shrimp fried rice, pretty simple. My order came on time but the quality of the food was awful. The rice was soggy. The vegetables aren't your usual Thai fried rice vegetables so I was really upset that they gave me big chunks of random veggies and only 4 pieces of shrimp in the entire dish! I had to add my own seasonings as the dish itself was extremely bland. It might've just been this dish but not really up to giving this place another shot. So upset I wasted money on something I could've enjoyed elsewhere. read more

Had the Red Curry and it was very good. Good service as well. Lunch crowd, but not overly crowded.

I love Thai Basil -Phoenix. I work near by and have been a regular for a year or so now. I've yet to have a bad meal or experience from them. The panang curry is one of my favorite dishes around. The staff is always friendly and fast and during this corona virus stuff are great about quick interactions and social distancing without sacrificing quality of food or service. read more

Bland zero flavor. We ordered Pad Thai absolutely no flavor. TomYum sweet and spicy soup tasted like bland fish stew I can't even eat it because I don't know what this is supposed to be. read more

Get the green curry it's incredibly flavorful. Wow it's the best I've had around this area-hands down and the right amount of spice. The Thai iced tea is perfect and a large portion as well The spicy noodles are divine The Thai iced coffee will get you going And the staff are sweethearts You can even order pick up on postmates and if you're me you can just walk over and grab it. Food is ready within 20 minutes! Will keep coming back! read more

We enjoyed the food and service here. We came for dinner on Sunday night and there was no wait. We are both vegetarians and there curry does not have any fish sauce. My favorite dish was the Thai Chili Vegetables. The fresh rolls were okay and they were out of the fresh coconut waters. Good simple thai food in downtown. read more
