For some reason I've just recently made it over to Thai Basil after finding out that our regular Tempe Thai restaurant (Thai Rama) had closed.
The good:
- Great flavor for green curry. Asked for medium and it was a medium spice.
- Prices- 2 curries, plus rice and one Thai Iced Tea was $24 + tip.
- Atmosphere was fine, not too big at all (I'd call ahead for larger groups). Service was good as well.
- Thai iced teas are HUGE! Get a small. If you get a large it comes in pretty much a large beer mug.
The bad:
- Yellow curry was definitely lacking spice and flavor. I asked for a medium as well, and the spice was maybe a mild. I ended up mixing with my dad's green curry
- Vegetables were undercooked and quite hard (esp. carrots)
- Chicken was extremely dry. Usually dry chicken in curries at least have the ability to soak up some of the curry liquids; this chicken was very, very dry.
I'd go back again- but wouldn't take someone there for their first Thai experience.
