    An easy 5 stars—will definitely be back. The food was deliciously well-prepared and presented, service was friendly and accomodating, and the atmosphere was clean, bright, and cozy. Could not have asked for more!

    I highly recommend the chicken wings which came hot and crispy, the papaya salad which was sweet, tart, and savory, the spring rolls which were filling and expertly wrapped, the masaman curry which was rich and flavorful, and the cilantro chicken broth which washed everything down with a savory finish. The food came out fast and we left feeling very happy and satisfied. It’s definitely worth a stop for the food alone. The service and ambience were cherries on top.

    Thank you Basil Cafe!

    One of the best spots I’m glad I stumble into. Found them from a local food group and garnered interest from their specialty drinks and the fact that they sold boat noodles this close to my work. Gave them a shot during one of the early shut downs and never really left. Boat noodles are fantastic. Their Lao style pho is a nice change up from all the other places around town. It’s got a unique and rich flavor to the broth that the other places just don’t bring. I never heard of pad see ew before and this place and it BLEW MY MIND. One of the best things I had tried last year!! Also mango sticky rice is amazing! Owner is super creative and always trying out and experimenting with new dishes and ideas.

    My husband and I had a good lunch dine-in experience. Probably one the the BEST spring rolls with a delicious dipping sauce!! Even though they didn’t have wontons or sticky rice available, we were flexible and order other items. The kapoon was yummy with good flavors and creamy and on the sweeter side, wish the noodles were not so overly cooked; almost soggy. Papaya salad (Thai style) was light, fresh and great to my liking! My husband’s pork belly was tasty as well! Customer service was great and clean environment!

    People raved about the boat noodle, but it's just simply pho broth with blood added - very disappointing. Broth has nice flavor, but I wanted boat noodle. Small bowl and would have loved more broth. Small veggie portions, i.e. basil (less than 10 leaf), and two cuts of lime.

    Thai-style papaya was delicious. Asked for spicy and they delivered.

    Thai coffee and lychee green tea were also great. Pad sew ew and khao man gai (chicken and rice)was good too.

    Took 30 mins or so for food to come out. They forgot the cream cheese wontons. Sever was nice.

    ; My new favorite Thai restaurant. All of the dishes were so good and flavorful! Well priced for really good food. The only critique I have is more of a crispy pork belly, but everyone does it a little different.

    The restaurant's ambiance is beautiful. Lots of natural lighting. Small and intimate size restaurant. The parking lot is super tiny (could fit approximately 10 cars) and right next to the restaurant.

    Please note the restaurants prefers to take reservations. Please call in advance to make reservations; depending on the size of your party they are able to do same day reservations.

    Don't forget to tip well 🙂
