Well, we were excited to see a Thai place for pad Thai in our new town... sad to say NOGO! we did pick up, and sadly very disappointed. It was like no pad Thai I have ever had. The pad Thai we get in other places has vegetables and a different sauce . Very strange flavor and Very strange color. My daughter had ok noodles with beef mama egg noodles. That dish was better than the others. The wonton soup was ok, but pot stickers were ehhhhhh. read more

Sorry but the chicken satay was ok at best. Fried rice tasted fishy and dumplings were a lump of chicken cooked in a wonton. Really disappointed given the high yelp reviews. Maybe I am just spoiled with access to great Thai food where I live. read more

The flavors coming out of this kitchen are so delightful; we got a large takeout order and they offered to carry it to our car, and everything was so delicious! The soups were soothing, the yellow curry was exceptional, and my mom is raving about it from the other side of the room as we sit here and enjoy. read more

Our family of 9 really enjoyed our take-out order. We had a variety of dishes from Pad Thai to Drunken Noodles. The food was tasty, and the service was excellent. We received our order fast and with a smile despite picking it up 15 min before closing. After enjoying a variety of dishes, all 9 of us had a different dish, we enjoyed reading our fortune cookies. Thanks for adding a great meal to our family vacation! read more

Now that we live in the area, we have become a regular eating here. We love their food. Pad Thai, Drunken noodles (chicken), Tom Yum and shrimp basil rolls. Those items are our main go to's. Papaya salad, larb, spring rolls, coconut soup, and dumplings are sometimes mixed into our selection when we need a change. We have been eating here for several years and the quality and consistency has not changed. Service has been consistent and very friendly. We have our own table if it's not occupied. This restaurant you'll find is unassuming. I would rather eat their great food than eat at a place that looks like a million bucks with poor quality food. Yes, we will continue to eat here! read more

We needed a break from all of the fried southern fare the last 5 days. Some spicy Thai sounds so good. It's a small, narrow spot. We were told to sit at the middle front table. Started with the Thai coleslaw, pad Thai with chicken and tofu, Thai hot and the Garlic sauce with chicken, medium plus spicy. The cook indicated that we can't get the pad Thai with the Rama sauce, it's too hard is what we were told, really? Makes me wonder if the pad Thai is already mixed with the pad Thai sauce ahead. I did have to ask for chopsticks 2 times before getting any. The coleslaw is good, spicy and flavorful. I could hand eaten a second salad. The garlic chicken was okay, spicy, watery and not super flavorful. Some fatty bits of chicken breast and some baby corn bits too. The pad Thai with the chicken and tofu was pretty good, better than the garlic sauce. The coleslaw was also good. Skip the garlic sauce. Service was okay. Total is $36.84. read more

Every time we're in town, we HAVE TO go here. They have some of the best home-made duck/orange sauce for their spring rolls. My wife always gets the Mama Egg Noodles and I will say there are few places with as delicious of Thai Curry (you can't go wrong with any of them). This place is delicious and a hidden gem of the Sevierville market. read more

Thai basil has the absolute best spring rolls, service is always hit or miss but the food is worth any hassle!

Service: help appeared absolutely stressed. Owners did not seem to be very customer friendly and did not bother lending a hand to the one help that was running around. Food: passable read more

Portions were small for the price paid, pad phet beef was tough service was ok Definitely would try other Thai establishments that are in the area read more

Nice, little, authentic spot. Stopped for lunch while working in the area. The food was excellent but the 3 chili spice level was pretty

Small Asian restaurant in Sevierville TN. It's high quality , delicious food just as simple as that!

My absolute favorite restaurant! I come as often as I can and try to bring everyone I know. The service is always amazing and the staff is so sweet. I normally get the drunken noodles and they have become my favorite meal. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who comes by! read more

Was in Boston for a conference a few weeks ago and wanted to grab dinner near my hotel. Found Thai Basil on Yelp and had his reviews, so why not? I walked over from the Hilton and found they were already on a short wait. Didn't matter, I'm ordering it to go and take it back to my room. Go in to order, super friendly staff, cute little dining area. I order the yellow curry and a Thai tea. My order was ready quickly, so I head back to the hotel. The food was great! Very flavorful and generous portion. The Thai tea was delightful as well. Definitely worth the visit if in the back Bay area and jonesing for some tasty Thai! read more

Had lunch at Thai Basil after reading other reviews. Service was quick. Waitress was very pleasant. Spring roll appetizer with dipping sauce was delicious. I had vegetarian drunken noodles (mild) and my husband had the red curry (mild). Heat level was as advertised and the portions were substantial. We have enough left over for another meal. Highly recommend. read more

The service was great from start to finish. The Tom Yum soup was awesome. You could swim in the bowl because the portion was huge. The Thai Basil Chicken was good, but could've had a little more basil. The only criticism would be the lack of traditional Thai hot sauces. read more

I wasn't impressed. Staff was kinda standoffish to us but very pleasant to the men. Lol. The food was ok. Don't serve enough. I was still hungry after I left. It wasn't the worst but not bad the best. read more

One major reason I didn't like going to the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area was the lack of good food amid all the tourist traps when I went the first time with my wife back in 2014. Thankfully, we gave the area a second try in December 2023, and we just spent our spring break at Dollywood in April 2024. In our December stay, our kids were burned out on the usual Western kids food, so when we planned our April trip we looked for Asian restaurants, and this one kept coming back onto our radar. One night, when the park was too wet and cold to stay after dark, we agreed to go with our friends to eat out, and we mentioned this place. Thankfully, our friends didn't object, because this and Tennessee Jed's sandwiches have made me like this area a lot more! This restaurant is in a strip mall, which actually made me happy as it means it is likely less dependent on tourists, giving it staying power. The reviews here on Yelp definitely helped, too. We had a party of 7 and were easily accommodated. The server, who seemed to be the manager, was incredibly kind despite being busy while we were there. Our family ordered the fresh shrimp rolls and Thai dumplings for a starter, a chicken satay and a white rice for each kid (4 and 8) I had the masaman curry chicken at two peppers (I ordered it with beef but it came with chicken - it was so tasty I didn't mind!), and my wife ordered pad see ew with chicken at three peppers. I had Thai coffee, which I always forget is a bit too sweet, and my wife had hot Jasmine tea. The chicken satay came with the meat on the skewer and the sauce on the side, which was good for our 8yo who doesn't like sauces very much. Our 4yo was so tired that he didn't care what his food tasted like, so I tasted it just to be sure - it was great! The masaman curry was exactly what it should be: a little spice, a great blend of textures, and all the ingredients done to softness without being mushy. The rice it came with was good for a Thai place (that's not meant as a sleight - Thai rice is just typically a bit drier than the Chinese and Korean rice I'm used to), so our kids were really happy to have food more like what we eat at home, and I thought it mixed well with the curry. My wife's noodles were fantastic, although not as spicy as I had expected. The restaurant stayed busy, largely with takeout orders, but we never had to wait long for food or drink refills, and we were able to have a nice time with our friends in a fairly quiet environment. Thai Basil is now on our must-go list because of how close it is to the Dollywood resorts, which is where our roller-coaster-loving family chooses to stay when we visit. I don't know if I would want it delivered, though, because it's always better fresh and hot! read more

Went there reading their highly rated reviews. Were disappointed. Mediocre fare food and service. Everything seemed overly sweet and nothing seemed authentically Thai. read more

The food was really good, but the wait time was abhorrent. We saw groups of people leaving because it would take them an hour or so to serve them. They need a better system in place to ensure potential customers are being seated, as well as tables getting cleared off. The food is good, but the wait time was horrible especially for being in the pigeon forge area where time is literally money. read more

We needed a break from the Southern food after being in the area for awhile, and so when we found this restaurant, we came immediately. I was sick of meat and overjoyed at the opportunity of ordering something with tofu. Service here was pretty good, we really liked that they took COVID seriously and wore masks/sanitized (something many other restaurants around here lacked). My parents have never had Thai food and are a bit hesitant when it comes to trying new food, so they ordered fried rice and the Mama egg noodles. I ordered pad thai with tofu, it was pretty good. My sister and father liked their fried rices. My mother thought her dish was a little salty. Would order the non-mild option of spiciness next time--the mild wasn't spicy at all. The dessert was a little pricy though--I got a mango sticky rice and it was ~$8. It wasn't a big portion, just enough for me! read more

Solid not world beating,,, we got food to go for 8 people. Pricing was good. Very mixed reviews on the food w 50% positive and 50% negative. Just ok read more

Reasonably priced Thai food and clearly a local favorite. If you're on vacation, looking for a reasonably priced meal, like Thai food, and trying to avoid tourist trap dining, Thai Basil should satisfy! read more

If you've had good Thai food this place will disappoint. Ordered several entrees (chicken satay, pad Thai, drunken noodles, panang curry) and all the dishes were lacking in flavor. Sections of the pad Thai noodles were white and not properly seasoned. We had a lot of left overs that were tossed out since no one in our group was a fan. read more

No frills but really good food. You'll definitely leave with more than you've bargained for.

Pretty average Thai restaurant. Had pad Thai and chicken sorta tough and noodles lacked flavor. Husband had basil stir Fry and said it was just okay. Spring rolls were good. Coconut soup was above average in flavor but only had mushroom and bits of chicken. Needs more vegetables. Price for whole meal very reasonable esp compared to the area read more

I was really craving some comfort food and hadn't had good Thai food in quite awhile. I stopped in at lunch and they were at a full 50% capacity. A good sign for a lunch. As hard as I try to be good, I have a weakness for spring roll and Thai noodles. The spring rolls came in an order of 3 which is a good amount. They were fried crispy and needed some time to cool down. For the noodles, I ordered tofu drunken noodles - hot. It could have used a bit more heat, but it wasn't mild enough for me to have to ask for hot sauce. The tofu was sautéed rather than fried, which I really liked. They put green beans in it which I don't believe I've ever had in drunken noodles. I don't know if I was crazy about that, but the noodles were good otherwise read more

Celebrating our 25th anniversary and made our way to the mountains for a few days. Food here is amazing. I travel the country trying and this is as good and better than most. Tom Kha, Basil Rolls, Yellow Curry and Pineapple Fried Rice. Very friendly and helpful service. As well. read more

This was going to be a tip, but I got kinda wordy and exceeded the character limit for a tip. This is a three-fer-one. A) a tip should be helpful advice, not just "Bob ate here and liked it." B) The fried tofu app is really good and THATSAUCETHO (sweet and sour w/ peanut) is amazing. I could, and sorta did, ask for extra and put it on everything! C) another sauce recommend. Rainbow sauce! I got it "hot" which is between medium and "Thai hot." It made my cheekbones sweat and it was soooo good! "Medium" would have been sufficient, but I like to overdo things. Okay, a bonus which makes this a four-fer-one tip. D) if you like it hot, and feel kinda lucky, ask for a side of hot sauce. Bon apetit, y'all. read more

Great Thai food, but especially awesome for anyone looking for Vegetarian and/or Gluten Free options in the area. Tennessee has some really great food spots that aren't as friendly to vegetarians or celiacs, so this was a nice find. This place was very busy with sit down guests, carryout, delivery... and still ran quickly and efficiently. If you have any special needs, let them know and they can help! I'll be stopping in again on my next trip to the area. read more

The food was really good here! We ordered to go and waited about 20 minutes. The spring rolls were so..... good. Lol. The Drunken noodles were extremely good as well. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely return to eat. read more

My best friend and I travel to Douglas Lake once a year to find the Douglas Lake Diamonds (crystals). The first time we went, several years ago, we stumbled upon Thai Basil. Ever since we have made it part of our annual trip. I always order the Pad Thai, it's always perfectly delicious (that night and the leftovers are great for lunch the next day) My friend brazenly ordered the drunken noodles... she lives life on the edge... it also was fabulous. This past time I ordered the lemongrass soup as an appetizer. Holy cow! It was dreamy and so filling I ended up taking most of my main dish home. This last time was the first time we actually ate in-house. It was really nice. The staff busily attends to their guests without being intrusive and everyone was very kind. Overall, our yearly trip has shifted from finding rocks on a dried lakebed to having Thai Basil after a long day of sludging through the mud. read more

One of my favorites! Food is always great! Service is great as well! They stay busy! we alway get spring rolls, chicken fried rice Med heat! Masaman with chicken! I probably spelled that wrong lol but it has curry and coconut milk and avocado, broccoli too. read more

I didn't even get a photo while at this restaurant because the food smelt and looked so good it made me forget where I was! I'm telling you, this place serves top/notch Thai food. I've been on the hunt in Knoxville for the best Thai for a year. This takes the trophy- bar none. read more

We were craving some comfort food and stumbled upon this place and ordered a few item. First time I have ever heard they don't serve Seafood Tom Yum and they can only do chicken. I would recommend buying new soup spoons they are all old and chipped. Food was alright best thing we had were the drunken noodles. read more
