| - Really 4 stars, but with only two reviews, I'm going to boost them up to an even 4.
Thai Basil is the 5th restaurant in the continuation of the empire of Thai Basil which is ravaging the valley. Same great quality here. Same freshness and variety of flavor that is known across campus.
What's an improvement to this one is this has bar and grill. They have a nice small selection of beers and wines, including thai beer.
A few dishes differ from the other Thai Basils, including what I had, the Crying Tiger. I had never heard of this. What it was, was a grilled steak with a fresh green chili sauce. Really tasty and fresh, the chilis being fresh brought a different spiciness, which can come back to haunt...
Went back for Happy Hour, which is from 4-6 every day but Sunday. They have a nice selection of 1/2 off apps and also some salads (including the aforementioned Tiger). Fresh salads for happy hour is a great addition to my after work snack repertoire. $2 domestics and $3 imports (including Kirin)
Thai Basil has notoriously good veggies in their dishes, excellent curries and noodle dishes. A good place to introduce newbies to Thai food and a place that will continually draw you back on weekday nights for hearty, healthy, tasty thai foods.
