We have liked Thai Basil for years but something has changed. Our last experience was not up to the usual quality both in service and food. The service was very spotty and the food was over cooked and barely warm. We ran out of time between the appetizer and the entree so asked for it to go. When we arrived home we were disappointed by the portion size and the flavor of the food. We’ll give them another try and hope for better results.

Great neighborhood place. Drafty, modern but not very cozy. The food is the draw, and you can see it by all the takeout happening. Egg rolls are fresh and crispy, Panang Curry amazingly fragrant. Will try again.

Just as good, if not better than the Thai restaurant out near Five mile on Overland (name omitted intentionally).
I love the food from both restaurants equally. The house made chili oil is so flavorful, perfect to drizzle over pad thai.
The staff at Thai Basil are very friendly and accommodating.

Due to the location and convenience, this has become my favorite place for Thai food.

We are visiting from out of the area enjoyed their Pad Thai noodles, nice spices! The Yellow Curry had a good flavor. Tom Ka Gai soup was a bit thin & lacked depth of flavor, but we are used to really authentic Thai.
Food was a bit “spicy” (asked for mild, seemed medium). While waiting owner gave us a ‘complimentary’ thai iced-tea, which was super tall & very sweet/delicious the service_server was efficient & friendly!

Superb! Highly recommend!!! Very friendly service. Timely and organized with pick up orders.
We had the crispy tofu app, green curry with chicken and black pepper prawns. We had medium spice and it was perfect, but does add a bit of heat. Would recommend all three dishes. We are so lucky to have Thai Basil in SE Boise!

I had Thai Basil take out for the first time. Green Papaya Salad with medium spice Thai Style was good. The Pineapple Fried Rice medium heat was EXCELLENT! Probably the best I’ve ever had. The flavor was great, the bell pepper and veggies were really fresh and not over cooked. I would have liked a little more pineapple in it. The Green Curry Chicken Thai Spice was also Excellent. Very good flavor and lots of fresh veggies. Thai Spice was not too spicy for the sweetness of the curry. I might try Hot Spice next time. In all, my food was excellent and the staff was very nice. This is my new Thai spot. I would highly recommend.

I’m giving Thai basil 3 stars because the food is good. Service is 1.5 stars out of 5.

I’ve visited this place 4 separate times over the span of the last 3 months (2x dinner, 1x carry out, and 1x lunch). Yes, the food is good, but the service is consistently poor; this is not the type of restaurant where you can expect to receive service in an expeditious or reasonable amount of time.

I would say avoid this place completely for dinner if you’re famished, or have another commitment (i.e. movie, show, etc.) post dinner. On average expect to wait +- 60 minutes after you’ve placed your order, and meals aren’t always hot.

Most recently for dinner, two of us sat for 16 minutes before our server even greeted us or brought over water. It was steady, but not slammed as there were many open tables throughout the small restaurant. Our server didn’t check on us once, didn’t refill water, didn’t update us on the status of our dinner, etc. Some of the wait staff seem to have a little bit of an attitude. I try not to take it personal because they seem to be trying to sort issues at large within their operations.

On a previous visit, I witnessed a major blow up between staff and a table of two patrons where they stormed out of the restaurant; from what I gathered the patrons left due similar grievances I shared above.

In my opinion, many of the issues boil down to poor management and lack of support for wait staff. If you have the patience to wait for their good food, go for it! If you don’t, do yourself and them a favor and go to another local Thai restaurant in town.

On a high note, lunch and carry out seemed to be fine. Service seemed a little better for lunch than it is for dinner.

As of January 2022 they are only open for takeout orders. They offered a lot of generous lunch specials. I got the chicken pad Thai and it was really tasty. Walked in and ordered and it was brought out in less than 10 minutes. The prices were really reasonable and portions were generous for the price!

This location is out of the way for me but so worth the trip. I am a huge fan of Thai food and the food here is amazing. The chilli oil was incredible the flavor and the heat were perfect. The employees are friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. Well worth the trip
