I did a double-take when I saw the Thai Basil sign go up in a small strip mall near my neighborhood. Could this really be the same Thai Basil that make my mouth water whenever I drive by it in Tempe?! Sure enough, the brand has extended its reach to Chandler and brought its delicious food, cozy atmosphere and excellent service along for the ride.
I enjoy many of their dishes but my favorite is their Pad Thai. Unlike the gummy, overly-salty versions at other restaurants, this dish at Thai Basil maintains a delicate balance of sweet and spicy, with a nice peanut flavor. (One of my favorite things about Thai Basil is their ability to vary the "heat" so that both my husband and I can enjoy our dishes just the way we like them.)
The peanut curry is also delicious. The vegetables are always bright, fresh and cooked minimally to convey a nice crunch.
The service here is excellent, whether for takeout or dine in. I would recommend it to anybody who loves great Thai food!
