I had high expectations at this restaurant because the reviews on Yelp and local people raved how…read moreamazing this place is. I came here on a Sunday afternoon and the restaurant was bustling. We got seated right away at a booth with a window view. My waitress was an older Asian lady. She was very nice, not too talkative, but she was on top of her things. I was craving soup and decided on the highly recommended tom kha with tofu. To start, we had thai tea, thai coffee and the shrimp triangle. For our entrees, we decided on the pad see eu (they spell it pad se eu here), panang curry. The shrimp triangles were very yummy. Definitely get those. The thai tea and coffee was good, but just a little watered. I expected the taste to last in my mouth for a little bit. But it didn't. For the soup, I was excited to taste the soup! It smelled really good and it was boiling hot. My thought after my first sip of Tom Kha was, ok, this is good, they got it, but it just wasn't quite there. I couldn't pinpoint what was missing. Then I figured out that they didn't use full coconut milk. It was just a little bit and it was the lighter version. How disappointing! I wanted the robust tang, spice and coconut like how I have at home. The entrees made me sad. I really, really wanted to love it. The panang curry should be rich, thick and creamy. Instead it was soupy. I was really expecting and wanting the curry to stick to my rice, but instead it made soupy curry rice. My daughter pointed out that the curry and the tom kha soup was the same color and consistency. I didn't want to believe, but I think they used the same base and added the appropriate toppingss and seasonings to make a soup and a curry. My saddest dish was my last one that came out. It was the pad se eu. The wide rice noodles was wet and in broken pieces. I'm Asian and I'm from Vegas via Hawaii which means we have a lot of Asian cuisines, we know our food and have friends who work in high end Thai restaurants. (Think Lotus of Siam) When rice noodles break into smaller pieces, it means the noodles are probably not fresh and got hard. To soften, the cook used extra water and the heat was not high enough to cook, so it stuck to pan, making the cook mix it around more...broken wet noodles that doesn't brown. Overall, I really wanted to love this place. It has potential. Maybe it was an off day but on that day I went, it didn't give me the wow I expected. Most of the items has the taste on point. Please don't water down the curry or use lower fat coconut cream. I'm not used to having regular brocolli in thai food either, but I guess this is what Eugene likes or what we can get. And people, share your food! Thai food is family style! Share it! Put it in the middle of the table and let the other person have some! I was people watching around my table and my table was the only one that didn't have our own entree per person. lol

ALWAYS. ORDER: the Garlic Basil Eggplant. Always. It is one of those dishes that is SO GOOD, it…read morejust never disappoints. The eggplant is tender and so rich and balanced in flavor, it is simply a delight to eat. We chose the Fried Tofu for the Pad See Ew and it was delicious. The Massaman curry came with a bowl of rice, brown or jasmine, as did the eggplant. We were a little concerned that the single bowl would not be enough because we were sharing the dishes family style. But it worked out. We also ordered off the special as well on the recommendation of staff chef Aria: the sausage appetizer and the Wild Mushroom Dumplings -- the presentation was striking and the cameras came out. Ordered the Painkiller which is by far one of the best cocktails on the menu. Side note: sometimes it's not quite blend long enough so chunks of pineapple block straw, but just ask them to blend a little extra so it's smoother. Last but not least: the Warm Spiced Cinnamon Sugar Donuts were delivered as promised warm and soft with a cinnamon sugar that loved every part of your fingers. But it was the quince ginger lemon curd that blew us away. Hands-down. We could not get enough of it. It's like an aphrodisiac and should be bottled and sold. Harmony was our server, and even though the model of service has changed so that you buy the food first and then our seated, during our meal she was attentive and thoughtful. My two guests were two of the most discerning diners I have eaten with and they were very delighted repeatedly expressing appreciation for both the taste and the appearance. It was also very gracious of Master Chef Hardinger to come out and say hello; he received their compliments warmly and they left saying they were excited to bring friends back. As long time Eugene residences I thought that was perhaps among the highest compliments they could give.

See photo. Other than this, I really love the food here. It's delicious, texturally interesting, and they take pride in their food. They also take pride in their service. I have always had kind service from the hosts and kind interactions with the cooks. I hope they learn to take pride in their cleanliness as well.

I would love to see more consistent in taste, yet I will keep supporting them whenever I come back to Eugene for any reason & craving Thai's food. During 08/04/2026 lunch with a friend, also out of town & ate here for the first time, between 12:30-2:30pm, my friend ordered chicken teriyaki. She said she liked it; portion was big enough that she took half of it home. I didn't look for the price. I ordered two appetizers for us: -Golden Squash: I get this every single time that how good & how much I love it. I still enjoyed it even though the breading was a bit burnt so made the squash texture dried. -Crab Rangoon $12: I like how they wrapped their better than most places. -Papaya Salad, no protein: a bit salty for this visit but still refreshing for such hot weather day. My total was $40, couldn't remember exact price for Golden Squash & Papaya Salad since I didn't ask for the recipe. L shape inside sitting & spacious. Their own parking lot is about 10 cars. Free street parking. Prompt & sufficient service. They do have daily special menu written on blackboard.

Anyway we ordered through a delivery app on a Thursday evening. We ordered pad se ew with pork, medium spice level, pad kee mao with chicken, medium spice level, the OMG and pot stickers, and a Thai Iced tea. The iced tea was warm, I'm not sure there was ever ice in it, however, that did mean I got more actual drink that I would normally get. The two apps were in open-topped baskets and stacked on top of each other in the bag. Both were bland. The sweet & sour type sauce that came with the OMG really made it edible. Between the two main dishes we ordered, I honestly could not tell which was which. What I believe was supposed to be my kee mao with chicken, might have been beef but even after trying a few pieces I'm not certain it was beef. The other dish didn't look like any kind of pad se ew or kee mao I'd ever seen and the meat might have been pork or chicken, honestly I don't know. Neither dish was even close to spicy or a flavor we enjoyed. I doused the unconfirmed kee mao with sriracha and ate it, because at that point I was pretty hungry and what am I going to do? Call and return it? Unfortunately, this was our first experience with Sweet Basil and probably will be our last.

When did this restaurant become UNtasty Thai Kitchen? From the moment we arrived, it felt off and…read moreit honestly could not have been a worse experience. Service was mediocre at best. We were the only ones in the dining room with two waitstaff. After we ordered, we hear someone from the kitchen yell, "oh shit!". We never learned why that was said but i can tell you that the dining experience was not pleasant. We started with an order of Spring Rolls, which were okay but extremely cold in the center - maybe they had been made far in advance and left in a very cold refrigerator for too long? Two sauces were served, but failed to provide spoons to use for those rolls - and we had to ask for serving utensils AND napkins. Then the extremely bland Tom Kha soup, served in a large bowl but then failed to provide individual bowls or spoons to eat it (come on servers, have you never eaten soup and know you need spoons and bowls for soup?!). UNtasty Thai Kitchen's take on phad thai was pretty terrible as well. And their larb (which they spell as laarp) was gritty and really unpleasant. We did not eat much of this meal and simply asked for boxes to take home... Upon leaving, I asked their staff if they recently had a change in the kitchen staff and they said no,.it was the same chef. If so,it certainly did not seem as it was a few months prior. You've lost three customers for this was a pretty awful experience. Happy to discuss this further, if you wish to reach out. UPDATE: Talked with their manager, Griffin, and he was very apologetic about the experience and offered either a credit or refund back to my account. HOWEVER, as of 4/14/26, this has YET to be resolved!

4 stars for a pretty darn good noodle dish, relative to the average Thai food truck in Eugene. This…read moreis a noodle dish I ordered like a year ago, but I still remember it being good because it had the wide fresh noodles, plenty of flavor, and a lot of basil in there. I notice that their menu is huge, with a ton of specials. Great for those who want variety every time they come. 5 stars for friendliness and fast service. The guy who works there is as nice as can be. 1 star for salad rolls. It says "fresh vegetables" but the roll had one miniscule piece of tofu (1/2 inch wide?) and the rest is pure lettuce. I think there were a couple mint leaves in there. No carrots, cuke, cilantro, or any other kind of vegetable you can imagine, and barely any tofu. Peanut sauce was delicious and worth adding to the order, as the chili sauce it comes with is ok but syrupy sweet. Adding in the peanut sauce for $2, that came to $10 for lettuce. Inflation is hitting us all hard... restaurants included. But tofu and carrots are not that expensive, right? And if they ran out of ingredients, they should just say so. Yelping about petty things is not a nice thing to do. This review reflects my frustration about a broader pattern that goes beyond this one restaurant (which is why I don't include this in the star rating). Eugene restaurants often do not try to keep up basic standards because there's insufficient competition, and they get away with things that wouldn't fly in a big city. I wish more restaurants, including food trucks, took pride in what they put on the plate.
