As a newcomer to Phoenix, a good Thai restaurant was a must for my new home. Thai Basil does not disappoint. I'm a huge yellow curry fan, and I gauge Thai restaurants by the quality, flavor, and textures of their yellow curry dishes. Never before have I eaten such a creamy YC. This renders the curry flavor very slightly less...curried...but I find myself going back time and time again for their take on this classic. Having eaten at lunch and dinner times, both in-restaurant and takeout, you will get a cheaper lunch that's overly filling, or for a dollar or two more a dish that'll last you two meals at least. Parking can be hit-or-miss, but I do love how close Thai Basil is to Tops!
