You won't leave hungry! The portions are large. The food is flavorful and delicious. The vibe is cozy and friendly. But the best part is the staff. I am a sucker for good hospitality, and they delivered! You could really feel a genuine warmth from the staff. The kind where you instantly feel comfortable. I'll be back for sure! Such a great find! read more

Had high hopes for this place, but my first experience was very disappointing. I had just landed from Los Angeles and was too tired to go far, so I chose this restaurant because Yelp showed it was open late. Parking was easy, but unfortunately the service was the worst part of the visit. I sat down to look at the menu and place a to-go order, only to be told to move to another seat. A simple order of pad thai and spring rolls took exactly 42 minutes. After several follow-ups, no one told me the food was ready until I walked up to the counter myself. Overall, a frustrating experience, and I would not recommend it with other Thai restaurant options nearby. read more

What a great little gem--and such a fresh, pleasant surprise. I was driving from Tucson to Tempe and looking for a healthy, satisfying meal before a show, and this place was exactly what I needed. The service was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere casual and welcoming, and the food clean, vibrant, and full of flavor. My friend and I shared the spring roll to start and the vegetarian curry bowl after. Both were perfectly balanced in flavor and texture and left us feeling happy (not heavy). Would absolutely come back! read more

The service here was definitely the highlight very friendly and attentive, so no complaints there. The food, however, fell a bit short for me. I ordered the Tom Yum, and unfortunately it tasted like the seafood had just been thawed and added straight into a watered-down broth. It was missing that classic lemongrass punch, savory depth, and spicy balance Tom Yum is known for. The soup also had a noticeably sweet taste, which is unusual for this dish, and there were no clams something I'm used to seeing in a good Tom Yum. The spice level was perfect since I asked for it "hot," but the broth itself lacked flavor, and the seafood tasted very clearly frozen. The curry was tasty, but definitely on the sweeter side almost too sweet. On a brighter note, the Thai iced tea was delicious. It had that classic sweet, creamy flavor Thai tea is known for, and you could taste all the layers. I genuinely enjoyed that part of the meal. Overall, the food looked great visually, but the flavors didn't quite match the presentation. Hoping they can improve the dishes, because the service really was wonderful. read more

Thai Basil - Yellow Curry, Tum Yum Seafood Hot, Thai tea - Thai Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

My impression of Thai Basil is relatively good due to the warm hospitality from my takeout order. The main sever greeted me and asked if I knew what I wanted already. I was looking for Pad Kra Pow but didn't see it on the menu. Turns out it's the signature "Thai Basil" on the menu. I was a little disappointed when I saw carrots and broccoli as it took a little bit away from the authentic taste. Also, no fried egg :( . The Thai spice and flavor was still present so it paired nicely with the generous potion for jasmine rice. Indoor decor of the restaurant definitely gives Thai vibes and a comfortable feel. I'll be back and try some order dishes. read more

This was not worth what I paid. I got drunken noodles with beef and mango sticky rice for desert. The service was fast- but the trade off that the food felt half cooked. The mango sticky rice was not good. I had 2 bites of it and couldn't force myself to eat the rest. The drunken noodles was okay, again noodles weren't cooked really. read more

My friends and I decided to order take out lunch from here, since one of them comes here frequently and enjoys it! Our food was ready within the specified time, and was still warm when we got back to work (a 20 minute drive at least). The people working were all very polite and helpful. I would definitely come back here based off of how nice these people were. It didn't seem like there was a huge lunch rush when I arrived to pick up around 1245p. Plenty of tables available and a very clean looking dining room. I ordered the pad Thai and it was great! The portion size was also pretty generous, enough for 2 meals. I look forward to coming back and trying some other popular dishes. read more

Vegetables!!! I am a huge fan of varied and fresh vegetables in my meals. I've been frustrated by the meager veggie offerings in many Thai restaurants. Not so at Thai Basil! Mountains of fresh and varied veggies with good cuts of chicken and extraordinary stir fry seasoning. Great find. read more

Came here for lunch today with coworkers and left really disappointed. I ordered the drunken noodles, and when they first came out, they smelled amazing. so I was pretty excited to dig in. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The dish was extremely bland and had almost no flavor at all. After a few bites, I mentioned it to the server and asked if it could be fixed or if I could get some kind of sauce (specifically brown sauce). Instead, he just brought over soy sauce and chili garlic, which didn't really solve the issue. At that point, the food was so underwhelming I couldn't even continue eating it. What made it worse was the lack of effort to make it right. I would have expected at least an offer to remake the dish or something similar, but that never happened. Ended up paying for a meal I didn't eat and left frustrated. Definitely not planning to come back. They just lost a regular customer by today's experience read more

I'm completely satisfied! Staying at a nearby hotel and even though I felt like I was roasting alive on the 110 degree very short walk over, I still wanted something a little spicy. After discussing options with the VERY kind waiter (Kevin) I decided on the eggplant/med spice with chicken and it was perfection! Even though I forgot to say I preferred brown rice the white was graciously swapped out. I can't wait to come back! read more

I was in Phoenix for a few days for a business trip and was excited to try the different restaurants out in Phoenix! My group and I decided we were feeling Thai and tried out Thai Basil to satisfy that craving! Although we were not able to place a reservation, the restaurant was able to accommodate our rather large group without much wait. It was fairly busy inside, given it was a weekday night. The menu has a good variety of different options for a variety of palettes, but I personally tried the garlic eggplant and the pad thai, both with chicken and medium spicy. For the garlic eggplant, it was good, but nothing particularly stood out. I like to try this dish at different Thai restaurants to compare, so this was middle of the road for me. I always love sautéed eggplant though! The rice was served warm and fluffy, and the eggplant was soaked in that delicious basil sauce. Meanwhile, the pad thai was probably my favorite part of the night. It was surprisingly much spicier than the garlic eggplant, even though both were ordered at medium spicy levels. So, that's definitely something to be aware of in case you can't eat spicy. I find that there's much more variety in pad thai dishes across restaurants, but the way this dish was prepared was very much to my liking. The noodles were coated with flavor, but not too wet and not too dry (the leftovers, however, did become dry so I would try to eat on the night of!). I also really recommend adding at least some spice to it because it really gives it an extra kick. Someone in our group had an allergy to nuts, but they were still able to eat because the restaurant successfully ensured that his dish did not get contaminated with any peanuts! Overall, I was satisfied with my experience at Thai Basil and would come again if I was in the area! read more

Came here after realizing our favorite place closed down. Good thing is, this is the new GO TO! Wow, they were fast, happy to help, and the food was delicious. They have a bunch of four tops and a set of booth seats on the side and they also do a lot of takeaway. We arrived around 7:15 and needed to be quick. Good thing they were speedy. We got the tofu wraps, pumpkin curry, and eggplant dish all at medium spice! 100000% recommend! read more

The place spiffed up a bit.. so my experience is .. good staff.. place clean.. it's cute.. and can't forget the food!! The most important thing .. soo good.. the chicken panang is just comfort .. hug on a plate.. don't be a hero .. mind the spice level.. and the ice tea is good .. and they give you ice..(hey not everybody does.. even though it's implied in the title). Sorry I digress.. all good here.. prices ok too.. read more

Overall this is an adequate Thai restaurant. I had massaman curry that lacked depth but had good flavor. My wife has yellow curry and she gel the medium spicy was not very spicy, but again good flavor. The service was prompt and the restaurant was generally appealing. read more

Love their food. Everything we ate was super tasty from the shrimp pad see ewe to the red and green curries plus the purple sweet sticky rice with mango. The noodles had nice texture and not too salty with right amount of deveined shrimp. All of the curries had an assortment of fresh vegetable that were cooked just right, not overcooked still had some crispiness but not too much. It was perfect. Both the red and green curry had the right creaminess but not too overpowering and yes if you like spicy they can make that. However, I can only do mild. We enjoyed all including the purple sticky rice with sweet mango. The staff were very nice and friendly. As soon as we sat down we had water and food was served hot and fresh. Place was clean and had that Thai vibe. Place is not very big but it gets busy. Seems to be a popular place in the Phoenix area. read more

Thai food has become a favorite cuisine for "mom-daughter" meals lately and this evening was no exception... We came back from a weekend of travel (a soccer tournament in Las Vegas) exhausted and hungry... When I suggested "Thai food for dinner?" to my daughter, she happily obliged. I was tired from the long drive back so was super pleased to see that Thai Basil had a delivery option from Yelp / Grubhub. Yes, I likely paid a lot more for it, but it was worth it... Within 45 mins of ordering, we had a delicious meal delivered to our door. I over ordered knowing that my husband would likely dig in also and/or that we would enjoy leftovers tomorrow. Everything we ordered was a hit: fresh rolls with shrimp, the Thai Basil signature dish with Tofu, Eggplant with Shrimp, and Silver Noodle (Pad Woon Sen) with Chicken. All medium spice level, which was not too spicey at all... I found serving sizes to be large (vs what some previous reviewers thought). I will totally order Thai Basil to-go again in the future and perhaps visit to dine in if in the area as it has been awhile. Enjoy! read more

They are verrry niice. Beware on to go orders as they can get them very wrong, often. Partially my fault as I feel uncomfortable unpacking (they tie up tight) the to go boxes before I leave but once again the 2 most imp requests were not even close. Very frustrating as u dont want to be a complainer and u are already back home ready to eat. 30 bucks once again garbage can:( read more

4.5 - Service was super nice. Very attentive. Charming. 4.5 - Ambiance for a small location they are doing their best. Also there's nothing more heartwarming than employees eating their lunch in a distant table but getting up every now and then to check in on you. Mom & Pop vibes 4.5 - Green Curry was delicious with a very nice brown rice option. For lunch they have a combo that comes with an egg roll which is basic but tasty. Also ordered the Laab which to me was waaay too sweet. However it was fresh, juicy and very large portion. read more

This place deserve a 0 star for manners and respects. Only because my child was crying, we were asked to sit farther and in the corner so others won't be BOTHERED! Will never go back there again to waste a penny on this restaurant to receive such attitude read more

Ordered on Doordash, and the food was very good overall, but they forgot both containers of plain jasmine rice for the 2 entrees, so we had to share a small container of brown rice for a huge order of food (almost $200). The service was pretty fast. The green and red curries were both good, as were the 2 soups. We also got the crispy spring rolls, which were too crispy and overcooked. The fresh rolls were good. The mango sticky rice and fried bananas with coconut ice cream were also tasty. My favorite item was the thai iced tea! read more

The food was delivered so it couldn't be sent back. there was no seasoning even though I ordered medium hot. there was no other seasoning. if I had ordered in house, it would not have been accepted. but, with a few small modifications, the food was actually quite tasty and well prepared. I would add that lite seasoning is appropriate for sea food. most sea food is too delicate for heavy swpeasoning. But there is a minimum that wasn't met with this order. my granddaughter's curry was the best. read more

This is a fairly basic restaurant focused on takeout but also dine in. The service is super friendly and the ambiance is fine. I got the duck curry.

But still a very nice meal. read more

Went here with my boyfriend on December 30, I was in town for a New Years Eve party. I wanted a Thai iced tea so we decided to stop in here on my way to the hotel. Out came the tallest Thai iced tea I have ever seen. I even took a picture of it. It was very good but not too sweet. For food I ordered the green curry with shrimp mild spice. It was very very delicious over the rice, not much spice at all. Sometimes these places say mild, but there is still a spicy hot tinge to the food, but not here. it was perfect. They brought out so much food I had enough for a whole other meal so I got half of it to go. Later that night at the hotel I ate the rest at room temperature and it was almost even better than it was freshly hot. I recommend this place. read more
