You can never go wrong with Thai Basil! The food is amazing! We love coming here for the Pad Thai and also coming for the lunch specials. The only thing I would clear up is when they're open and close. We went one time nd online said they were open, but it was actually closed. The ambiance is really nice and feels authentic! Love how it's a small space, so they can focus on their customer service. read more

P.S. -- YOU **M U S T** get the Orange Chicken FRESHHHH* if you get it to go... there's a chance you WILL not have the same experience as me lol it softens with the lid close because of moisture, so you will not have a "crunch" but more of a chewy texture. (Still tasty, but different 1st Taste Experience) read more

the food here is pretty good! I tried the Thai dumplings, pork fried rice, and chicken pad see ew. the pork fried rice was my favorite! the inside of the restaurant is clean and quaint. the service leaves a little to be desired, but not bad. i would come here again to try different dishes! read more

Great flavor and service. Tried the Thai basil fried rice and loved. The noodles looked really good so I want to try that next

Best Thai food in town and half the price of Davorns. Quick on the order, always packed well for pickup, and the staff is super nice.

Kind of disappointed with my service. For my birthday lunch I called and ordered chicken pad Thai and a Thai tea for pickup. I then had my husband pick it up for me. When he got home, we realized they had given me soup. Chicken tom kar(???) I believe, which sounds nothing alike nor could you have paid me to order that correctly considering I don't know what it is. I guess my mistake was not having her repeat the order over the phone before pickup. Anyways, my husband drove it back to explain the mishap and get the correct meal but the restaurant had closed. It re-opened at 4:30 so my husband drove back(again). The staff was irritated and tried to get my husband to pay for the meal again because they said they weren't the ones to make the mistake. I guess my days of eating here are over which is sad because I do enjoy their food. read more

Chicken Larb and House Drunken Noodles both were good to-go orders. Spice level 1-5. Disappointed that it was too late to order the Chicken Satay. read more

Thai Basil Restaurant - Sign - Thai Near Me - Visalia, California

It was good but I love the Thai food in Hanford so I unfortunately compared the two and was slightly disappointed.

This is a small quaint Thai restaurant in southeast Visalia tucked away in Mary's Vineyard plaza around the corner from Little Caesar's pizza. The staff is always friendly and attentive whether dining in or grabbing to-go. The prices continue to be reasonable with lunch specials at $13 and $2 more for beef or shrimp. The soups are great and perfect for thwarting off the sniffles. Their Thai tea is spiced beautifully with gorgeous orange red color and so flavorful it's gone before you know it. During the work week it gets very busy during lunch. They now close at 2:30 instead of 3:00 for lunch but will have your order ready if you call in by 2:10. The lunch portions are very generous and can be shared or saved for leftovers. Small parking lot next to restaurant but generally can find parking there or nearby. Good tasty authentic Thai food cooked for you by locals. What's not to like about that? read more

Went to Thai Basil for the first time today. I went there thinking they served Pho briefly thought of going somewhere else, so glad I didn't! The food was phenomenal. The service was excellent and fast. Can't wait to try more items on their menu. read more

I'm a fan of their spring rolls and sauce. So far the best compared to other restaurants. The food is good and price is fair. Orange is my favorite. There is average amount of seating for a small restaurant. The service is great and quick. read more

Thai Basil Restaurant - Pad See Ew - Thai Near Me - Visalia, California

Delicious Thai food. Fantastic pad thai, delicious curry, great spring rolls. Its a small restaurant so we usually take out but wonderful service when there is room to dine in read more

This is our favorite Thai place in Visalia. And their pad see ew is our favorite pad see ew anywhere. Service is quick and friendly. Try the orange chicken if dining in. It's excellent and crispy. Taking it home, it gets soggy. Spring rolls are generously filled and fresh. The ambiance is what you'd expect from a strip mall restaurant. Nothing special, but the food is great. read more

Great prices and amazing food. Need a quick lunch but something light. The spring rolls are perfect and budget friendly, super filling.

Was looking for plant based / vegan options in visalia and came across this. The pictures of the large white menu are the most recent. Items you may find online they no longer make, like orange tofu. Ordered fried tofu appetizer, fried rice with tofu (no animal products), pad see ew (no animal products), pad kra paw, and mango sticky rice. They kindly asked if we wanted all dishes without animal products- made it so easy. They estimated our pick order would take about 30 minutes. It was ready in almost 30 minutes on the dot. read more

I always get the pad see ew. It's just so good. The staff is friendly. The lights aren't too bright like some places.

I love Thai Basil, it is my go to place. The food is delicious and the service is five star!

I love the vegan options here. Also the freshness of the food and the service. It is also very clean. Their food is flavored delicately and customized to your palate for heat. read more

Friendly service, but the food is meh. I wanted 5 spicy, but the server talked me down to a 4 on the Tom yum soup. It was sweet. Way too much sugar added! I absolutely hate Tom yums where you can taste the sugar. I asked for the Thai condiments, but they couldn't rescue the soup. The papaya salad was good, but the level 5 spice was non-existent. I got red curry beef & besides not being spicy, I think it lacked in any flavor. I might be spoiled by a Thai sister-in-law, but it's not bias. I've eaten so much great Thai food, I know when it's just ok. read more

Can be difficult to get a table at busy times, but take out is always a score and food is delicious!!

I really love Thai food and have consumed a LOT of Thai curry in my life. Thai basil is excellent. Their curry does run a bit on the salty side, but the flavor is phenomenal. And oh my goodness is their tofu good. I don't know what they do to make it, but I was shocked at the first bite I took. I have had a lot of tofu, but the way they prepare it was truly divine. So far, I have really enjoyed the Panang and the Yellow curries. Looking forward to trying more! Their service on weekdays is fast and efficient. read more

Their food is amazing each and every time we go. The service is a bit slow not the food outweighs the service. read more

The restaurant is small but oh...my...goodness!!! The food is amazing and the staff are attentive, knowledgeable and polite. I ordered the Pad Thai with no spice and they followed my directions and it had no spice. They have a variety of different entrees read more

I'm so disappointed this evening. I splurged on myself tonight and decided to go with Thai. It's always hot and cold with this place. Unfortunately it was cold tonight. I ordered pad thai and Panang curry. The saving grace was the pad Thai. But the curry. It was watery and filled with only little chicken and an ungodly amount of either green pepper vs jalapeño. That was it. Not the panang I know and live. read more

Thai Basil Restaurant - Chicken Pad Thai - No Eggs - No Peanuts - Extra Bean Sprouts level 3 Tea Thai - Thai Near Me - Visalia, California

Spring rolls are a 4/5, sauce was so good 5/5. Pineapple fried rice is 4/5 so good. Pad thai was a 5/5! We got a 4 in spicy which was just right for us! read more

If you're looking for good food for a alright price then look no more. Waking in is a bit weird as it's a small place that seems to be able to seat maybe 30 people at most. I ordered a pad-thai dish by itself and It costed me about $20... I haven't been back since but at least the food was good. read more

Great Thai restaurant in Visalia. Traveling for work and found this because of my fellow yelpers. Food was fresh and good. a lot of people picking up food. They ask you various spice levels 1-5 with 1 being mild. I like lightweight spice but knowing some Thai Chile's are super spicy I asked for level one in my green curry with chicken and shrimp and it was spicyyyy. Good flavor but definitely spicy. I also had shrimp rolls which were deliciously good as well as mango sticky rice and a Thai iced tea. Very very good. I would definitely go back again! read more

Decided to stop in here one day for lunch. They had a great lunch menu and was priced decently especially for the quality of the food. I decided to go with my favorite, Panang Curry with white rice. I went with spice level 8/10 and I definitely feel it was a good spicy but I think I could have done 10/10. My friend ordered the Pad Thai 5/10 and said it was okay spice but tasted delicious. I will be back! 4/5 stars because there's something a little off about the atmosphere. I wasn't a huge fan. read more

:) a wonderful place for family and friends to dine and have a great time. Inexpensive A clean restaurant and a clean restroom. Delicious food and wonderful customer service.
