decent but dirty – It seems as though the cleaning part of the business is very last on the priority list -- I just hope that isn't the case in the kitchen. They reuse their place mats over and over. The last time I was there, mine stuck to my wrist! And all they have to do is give the place a good deep clean every so often and burn those place mats and I'd probably up the rating to a 4....assuming the kitchen gets regular visits from the health inspector to ensure at least they keep it clean back there.
Great Food, Reasonably Priced – Tucked away on Newbury Street, Thai Basil is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Boston and they never disappoint! Their crispy pad thai is one of the best around and their tropical noodle dish is great too. I work in Copley and I look forward to the occasional break to run and grab my takeout and I've never walked back with cold food. It stays piping hot.
Shady and Very Poor Service – Thai Basil has the worst service and mediocre food at best. The food was delivered 1 hr and 15 mins after the order was placed and the food was cold and smelled like it wasn't fresh. Later when I checked my statement, the restaurant charged us more from the total I signed for when the food arrived. When I called the restaurant, the lady on the phone hung up on us twice! The people who run this place are shady. Ordering from Thai Basil was a horrible experience that pretty much ruined my night. I... read more
Everything Tastes Great Definitely one of my favorite restaurants on Newbury Street. Located in a walk-out basement, as many of the restaurants are, it has a great cozy and classy feeling to it. Everything I've tried is delicious, seriously.
Great for lunch! I work a block away, and I eat lunch here at least once almost every week. They're really quick, so you know you can be in, out and back to work easily within your lunch hour. They can get really crowded around lunch time, but even if there is a wait, it's usually short.
Thai Basil is okay – Thai Basil looks like a hole in the wall restaurant when you're passing it (it's basement level), but it's surprisingly decent inside. There are a few Thai restaurants in and around Newbury/Boylston and Thai Basil is about $2 cheaper per dish than the other restaurants. The tom khar gai soup is delicious. The green curry is just okay. The pad thai is also just okay. I like their pad see ew, but the chef neglected to cool the noodles before mixing it with the sauce so a lot of my noodles clung together. A... read more
hidden gem Cute hidden Thai place on Newbury. I really enjoy their Pad Thai and the quiet atmosphere. A great alternative to Newbury classic.
Delicious Thai Food – I love Thai Food, and Thai Basil met all my expectations. They have delicious Pad Thai, as well as Yellow Curry Chicken. I go there at least 3 times a month. If you like Thai Food, you must try them! Highly recommended!
hate this restaurant very rude waiters – I will not go back to this restaurant again. The servers are all rude. This place is the worst Thai restaurant I have ever been to in the MA area.
