Basil Thai would not make any one's top ten Thai list if they included places outside of C-U, but it's well worth a stop if you 're hungry in the area. The space is a bit sparse, yet it's pleasantly decorated.
Decent is the watchword for Basil Thai. The place feels like a gussied up cafeteria with nice little touches. The curry was...okay. It was my fault for trying to be super manly and ordering it as extra spicy, and they delivered, but of course that obscured the full range of the curry's flavor for me. And I went through four glasses of water. But that's how things go.
So if you've learned anything from this review, please remember: Basil Thai is decent, and masculinity is not safely garnered by eating super spicy stuff.
