This review is written as a WARNING. I strongly urge everyone to read this before stepping foot into—or ordering takeout from—this Thai restaurant. If you don’t want to read the full story, here is the bottom line: DO NOT EAT HERE. DO NOT ORDER TO GO.
A few of our friends had dined here years ago and suggested it as the place to celebrate a friend’s birthday. I called to make a reservation, and the person who answered simply said “yes” without asking for my name, phone number, or any details—already a red flag, though I didn’t realize it at the time.
Once we arrived, another major red flag became obvious: there was not a single Thai staff member to be seen. For a restaurant advertising itself as Thai cuisine, this immediately raised concerns about authenticity and quality.
The interior is nicely decorated and clearly aiming for a “luxury” dining vibe. However, the shock came when we opened the menu. Chef’s entrées were priced as high as $60 per dish, regular entrées ranged from $25–$34, and appetizers averaged around $19. Several of us—including myself—wanted to walk out immediately, but we stayed only out of respect for our friend’s birthday.
The food was nowhere near worth the price. I ordered a tuna tataki for $16.95, which consisted of just six thin slices of tuna on a tiny bed of vegetables. I also ordered a stir-fried vermicelli noodle dish with shrimp for $34—a small portion of noodles topped with four bland, unseasoned, un-marinated shrimp. My child ordered the “beef tiger cry” for $40, which came with extremely fatty, chewy beef that tasted like the cheapest cut imaginable, despite the menu claiming it was Angus beef (highly doubtful).
Then came the final insult: the bill. The subtotal for 11 adults and 2 toddlers was over $600, before tax. On top of that, they added 10% tax and an automatic 22% gratuity, bringing the total to over $800. Every single person at the table was stunned. We felt completely taken advantage of.
I have never—in my entire life—seen Thai food priced this outrageously, especially when the quality and flavor were so mediocre. Afterward, we looked at Yelp and Google reviews and discovered that they even charge a 10% gratuity on pickup orders.
This place is not upscale. The food is not special. The pricing feels predatory. Please save yourself from being ripped off and go somewhere else. You will thank me later.
I would have give 0 star if I could.

Really authentic and best Thai food. I wish they had one in nyc area. The interiors and art transport you to Asia. It’s a must visit
Thai green curry was a warm bowl of heaven esp for cold Manchester fall nights. Massaman curry was perfect . They have a great selection of wines as well. Definitely checkout the hot tea

This Sunday afternoon, I went to eat at Thai Basil at I ordered a Maple Martini and a Lychee drink, and they were both absolutely delicious! The flavors were amazing and perfectly balanced. The food was also incredibly tasty I loved everything I tried.
The service was excellent as well. The staff was very friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. I truly enjoyed everything and will definitely come back again!

Tastes so bad, especially the spring rolls and the steak. The rice is hard, the beef is cold, and the noodles are also worse than before. You can see how many fascia pieces are in this cold beef. And even though most waiters are kind and make people feel good, there is an old woman who always faces me with a frown, and she keeps insisting on serving me even when others have already served me first. And honestly, since she’s always giving me that nasty look, I don’t get why she keeps rushing over to serve me. I’ve been here more than ten times, and I promise this is the last time.

The service and ambiance were great, and the restaurant seemed quite popular. I personally enjoyed the food, though it wasn’t quite to my family’s taste. The meat in some dishes could have been more tender and flavorful for an even better experience.

Very good food but the only con is that they don’t come around with refill waters as they should. The staff are great and the food comes out quick. The fried rice is the best part as well as veggie spring rolls. They are absolutely delicious! If you need something to eat, it is right across the street from Christos pizza but this Thai food is much better and has plenty of options.

Listen to that guys review that says this place charges you anything they feel like. The food is actually good but substituting tofu for chicken and having to pay 8.50 extra is nuts. The menu says gratuity is 20% but I paid 95 on a 360 bill……

In the charming town I adore, I stumbled upon a Thai restaurant that left a positive impression. The location is good, easy to find the parking lot . The food was delicious, and the ambiance was delightful, making for a great overall experience. However, the only drawback was that they didn’t have any Thai pancakes, and the prices here were a bit on the higher side.
The Pad Wood Sen, i have ordered it with tofu and the servicer told me that I can have one side for free, but actually they charged me $9+ more for the 3 pieces shrimps..
