This place is really good for dinner and not so good for lunch despite having lunch special. I suspect they have different chef because even when we order our favorite meals they don't taste as good as they taste at dinner. The spices are not right, some flavors are lacking, and the texture is different. Trust me, I am not picky, but we've been to Thai Basil so many times that I know how everything tastes quite well. The decor of this place is amazing and the service is always friendly and quick.
So, if you trust me and want to get a feel of the place, I really recommend Thai Basil Eggplants, Mango and Papaya Salad with Shrimps, Red Curry Duck, Baked Seafood in Pumpkin (my favorite!), and Crispy Basil Soft Shell Crab (my boyfriend's favorite). You can see the last two in the pictures below, sorry for partially eaten soft shell crab - my boyfriend was hungry and didn't want to wait until I take pictures :)
