    Presentation and taste were very good. Of course I had an issue w price, that's symptom of our time. But the food was great. I definitely recommend giving it a try.

    Delicious food! Great service! The range of spiciness is 1 to 10 which is great for customizing your spice level. Thai coffee hit the spot. The food was just as good as it looks My partner enjoyed the decorations and elephants in the room It was clean, not too loud, and people were spaced apart when they could. The tables are not too close to each other either.

    Great place. Good ambience. Modern and clean venue. Love the tasters they bring out when you come in to help people are not familiar with the cuisine understand the basic broths. They even bring out warm towels to clean your hands and face with! Dishes are huge. From soup to appetizer to main courses, portions were plenty. If anything the side order of rice was minuscule for the amount you pay for it. All the food tasted very good. We got several different plates and the only critique is the salt and pepper shrimp was very soggy. Traditionally it should be crunchy. Otherwise cannot complain. Do plan to be back. Service was great. We need to try desserts next time. Happy eating!

    I literally am so thankful for this place being so close by! Atmosphere: Nicely decorated and clean, including the bathrooms. Seating is spread out but it still gets quite noisy in here. I love how they give you steamed towels to clean your hands when you sit down! Food: Just YUM. I have ordered at least 7 items off the menu and all of them have been a dream. My mouth is watering just thinking about the food here. They give you a free sample of three different broths when you come to the table and I could drink a gallon of each. Staff: The owner is so sweet and even though they are always a bit understaffed they are so pleasant. I would not come here on a tight timeline though.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants! Never disappoints, however, it can be busy. We usually go early or week days to avoid crowds.

    Absolutely terrible service. After being seated, we waited 20 minutes and were never even acknowledged. We left and will not be back.

    I am a first timer to Basil Cafe and wanted to share my experience. I moved here from the Bay Area…read moreand I love any type of Asian food. All my local friends recommended that I try Basil Cafe. And I did and it was the worst restaurant experience I have ever had in 40 years. I asked a friend if she had tried this cafe and she hadn't. FYI, I called around 7:15 prior to our arrival and asked what time they closed. He said come now since the kitchen closes at 8 and all orders have to be in before then. It was a Friday night, we arrived at the restaurant and were sat immediately. At 7:20ish the restaurant was still busy which we thought was a good sign. Our server greeted us with the menus and walked away. I didn't think anything of it until she returned to take our order. The initial impression was EXTREMELY uninviting and we should have left at that point. Her first words, "you know we close at 8" which we knew and were trying to hurry to be respectful of the chefs. We immediately ordered which was approximately 5 minutes after being sat. She asked if we wanted our food mild or spicy and then walked away. She did bring us water but never refilled until we were almost done with our meals. She even spilled water as she was pouring and not once to she say sorry or clean it up. Our food was delivered promptly by another server who at least had a smile. As we unfolded our napkins to eat, our server dropped the check and requested to flip it over when ready to pay. My guest looked at me in amazement and stated, "Wow we haven't even taken a bite." As we ate our meals, not once did she approach us to ask if we needed anything else or how the food was. I watched her interact with another table and she seemed to attend to their requests. I was in disbelief by the way she handled herself as a server. I just kept thinking, wow I'm actually paying money for this. We were never rude and remained polite even though her service was HORRIBLE. My guest looked at me and said, "I have lived her all my life and have never had this kind of experience at a restaurant." I was so disappointed about my choice of restaurant that I did not even finish my meal. I took maybe 2 bites and was done. Being that I barely touched my meal, most waitress would have asked if it was ok but not our server. "You want that boxed?" I was like "Yes Please" while thinking "hell yes so I can get out of here." We left within 40 minutes of our arrival so the kitchen had barely rung the closing bell. As soon as I got in my car, I immediately texted my friend who raved about your restaurant and advised "F that place, never again, I have never been treated so badly by a server." I did check the restaurant reviews after this and it spoke of the atmosphere, the friendly staff, the food, and the drinks. Well I wish I could have experienced that but no! I contemplated writing this review since it usually goes nowhere so I spoked to my friends who have visited your establishment and those who have not. The friends who have visited were very disappointed and others stated, "they would not be dining there". They all came to the same conclusion to share so if anyone is trying to figure out whether Panda Express or Basil Cafe, the Panda would be my first choice after this. If I could give you a ZERO star I would but 1 star it is since that is my only option. I will say the food was good so thanks to the chef. But I rather dine at a restaurant with crappy food with an exceptional server than the opposite. I did give her a tip even though she did not deserve it. Hopefully she shares her tips with the chef since they did all the work.

    I have heard about Basil Café for a while and finally checked it out with a few friends just before…read moreChristmas. We all shared the bang bang broccoli. Oh my goodness, sooo good. I could use the bang bang broccoli as an entrée. I ordered the entrée feature for this season. I believe it was called Guay Tiew. Had beef bone and a meatball for the protein. It was definitely good but it was a lacking some flavor. I want to visit again soon. Staff was fantastic.

    First want to start with how kind the staff are!! They are very helpful and attentive. We decided…read moreto eat in and this place is fairly small but still welcoming. It was mid day on a Tuesday so not too busy but they did have several to go orders and other tables full inside. They're extremely fast getting food out however! We got the Thai iced tea, one chicken egg roll, one pork roll, two stuffed chicken wings (one for each of us), a pork pad Thai that ended up coming out with chicken instead (happy accident), and the chicken Thai pad see ew. I have had far too many egg rolls to admit to a number but the egg rolls here are TRULY THE BEST EGGROLLS IVE EVER HAD. The pork was my favorite of the two we tried but the chicken was just as good. They're perfectly proportional of filling to crispy and flaky exterior. They also come with sweet & sour sauce or spicy and they are AMAZING to mix together. I wish I had a photo to show but we devoured these. The stuffed chicken was DELICIOUS as well. Really not sure how they do these but clearly they are known for these and they are truly the bomb! The pad Thai was accidentally made with chicken but it was still delicious! The plate is much bigger than we thought so my partner only got through maybe half of this before getting a take away box. It was tangier than we expected with no spice but after adding the spicy sauce from the eggrolls it was perfect for his taste. Finally the Thai pad see ew was a welcome dish. The noodles were thicker than I'm used to but again no harm there. It also was a huge dish so maybe half way through got a box. This place is so good. I absolutely recommend stopping for some delicious eats. We saw some pho bowls and they are huge but look amazing. I can't imagine not finding something to like about this place.

    Casual eatery. Order at the counter. Fresh rolls were fresh, but not a lot of substance; i.e no…read morecarrots, cucumber, etc. just lettuce and rice noodles. I had the pad see ew and my wife had the pad Thai. Both were tasty. Although my chicken was a little dry. Her tofu was fried perfectly. You can order each dish medium, spicy, or very spicy. As someone who likes some heat the medium more than delivered. My wife found it too spicy for her palette. Overall food was good. Would definitely return.
