This is my go-to restaurant every week for take out or for a chill Friday dinner with a pal. I've been going to this place since my grad school days, and the owner and son already know who I am. It does feel nice to step into a place that's familiar and warm. For that, i would give Thai Basil 5 stars. Top-notch service for reasonably priced food.
The Thai dishes are flavorful and it's pretty much the only Thai restaurant I go to in the Valley (I get better Thai food at home in Hawaii, but since I'm in AZ for the most part, I had to find a substantial alternative).
The menu items that never disappoint: Thai iced tea, yellow curry with chicken and pad thai.
