| - Not bad at all. Pleasantly surprised actually.
Decided to finally try this place out because my friend and I were craving Asian/sushi but didn't feel like paying $25-30 for AYCE.
The saying "do not judge a book by it's cover" fits perfectly for Thai Basil. By the looks of the outside, I was really surprised when I walked in and saw that the interior designing wasn't too shabby! To my surprise, it didn't look like an old, run down crappy "Asian" restaurant at all lol.
Our server was probably the friendliest, most polite server I've ever had in my entire life. He made our first time there enjoyable and was actually kind enough to give us some green tea mochi ice creams on the house :) Plus he never let our water glasses go empty, which is an immediate good tip in my book lol.
We decided to order on the safe side and go with bento boxes. All bento boxes come with a miso soup, a choice of meat, rice, vegetable/2 shrimp tempura, edamame, and 4 pieces of either California rolls or spicy tuna rolls. All for the very reasonable price of $10.99. I ordered the chicken teriyaki bento with spicy tuna rolls.
My friend and I also split the Two Roll Special, which consists of your choice of 2 rolls from their Sumaki Sushi menu. We went with Hamachi and Spicy Salmon (8 pieces each) for $10.99. (Ordering the rolls separately would have been $7.99 each).
Honestly, for the prices, I can't complain about anything I ordered. The bento box was delicious but nothing with a wow factor. And same with the sushi. Everything came out in a timely manner and the portions were perfect.
We ended our dinner with strawberry mochi ice cream but our server ended up giving us every flavor!
I'll definitely be back to Thai Basil. My friend and I have decided that this is our go-to place whenever we're craving Asian/sushi but don't feel like paying for AYCE. :) I would recommend this place, but don't go in there expecting fine dining our Asian gourmet! Go if you wanna fill your belly and keep your wallet full too lol.
