Yes,yes, and yes! After moving here from Denver 3 years ago I was desperate to find a good Thai place. Fortunately the first place I tried was Thai Basil, unfortunately it was not the last. After trying at least 3 other Thai places, Thai Basil still has the best Pad Thai in Madison. Regular is delicious and if you say you want it spicy then expect it to be spicy! Noddles are never soggy or mushy like other places we've tried. Price is great and the service is always friendly. Even after we moved from Fitchburg to near down town, we still make the drive and it's well worth it.
