I worked here back in 2011... and was able to try most of their dishes... so I am soley reviewing on the food ONLY.
Haven't been here since 2012...so I'm not sure if the menu has changed but...
Things to try/order:
-crispy rolls, cheese rolls
-crying tiger: the green sauce is to die for!! Dip your meat in it!
-spicy noodles: similar to pad see ew w/diff veggies &sauce
-tom yum:
-pad see ew
-pad thai: automatically comes w/tofu so add diff protein!
-spicy fried rice & pineapple fried rice
-spicy beef salad
-papaya salad
-mango with sticky rice
These were all my favorite appetizers & dishes at Thai Basil.
I really like how you can pick your level of spice. I love love love spicy food and can handle my spice very well.. I would usually go with medium or medium+ (btwn medium & hot)
I don't recommend going Thai hot...because that stuff is literally fire!!!
Parking is kind of limited...I remember one summer, the restaurant would get so packed... there were actually customers waiting!
