We are so happy to have found a delicious Thai restaurant in Charlotte.
The dining area is very open, however, the noise level was low so we didn't have any problem carrying on a conversation while eating. The décor is very nice, but the atmosphere is casual. And the chairs are super comfortable.
There were three in our party. We started with the fried wontons...talk about addictive. The wontons were small in size, but a perfect portion to share between three people.
My husband started his meal with a bowl of the Tom Kha Gai. Our waitress warned that the soups served at dinner are meant to be shared between two people, so he ordered the soup anticipating to take home leftovers, which we did. The only flaw with the soup was that there was a lot of broth and not a lot of vegetables. Other than that it had a very nice aroma and was very flavorful.
For our entrees we ordered the Pad Prik, the Basil Tilapia, and the Pad Thai. We chose to share all three. The sauce for the Pad Prik was dynamite. It had enough spice that it didn't need anything added to it. The Basil Tilapia was very mild but wonderful flavor. The Pad Thai was also mild, we asked for a medium spice but it still needed a kick. They offered three spices: Siracha; Chili Powder, and a Garlic Chili Paste. The Garlic Chili paste was a wonderful addition to the Pad Thai.
Our waitress was very helpful and attentive. All and all we had a wonderful experience and are happy to recommend Basil Thai to anyone. We will definitely be back.
