Cute small restaurant with plants and amazing decor. The service and atmosphere was great. And my food was delicious and fairly priced.

Very nice plating but mediocre food. Flavors didn’t quite mesh together. Drinks (thai tea + coffee) were also too sweet and bland, tasting mostly of sugar. Restaurant can feel a little cramped, but vibes were otherwise acceptable. Would only come back for the vegan options, everything else was unimpressive.

Absolutely delicious! The tofu satay skewers blew me away, SO good with the peanut sauce and cucumber salad. The ube cheesecake was also incredible! So many yummy options, we can’t wait to come back , HIGHLY recommend.

I ordered a papaya salad to go for about $15 and asked for medium spice. It had zero spice and the portion was ridiculously small. The papaya itself tasted old and watery, with a sour, off smell that made it inedible. When I called to ask for a refund or a remake and offered to bring the food and receipt back, the owner was extremely rude. She was short, kept cutting me off, and refused to help in any way. She showed no concern for the quality of the food or the experience. The food was gross and not safe to eat, and the customer service was unacceptable. I will never order from this place again and strongly recommend avoiding it.

The environment was clean and quiet. My family and I had a good time there since we could sit comfortably and have adequate privacy to chat. The waitress was friendly and patient. The restroom, what I care most, was clean. LOL.
We ordered Green and Yellow curry, and we gladly ordered rice for the curry. Please don’t miss the rice; otherwise you will regret not having it. Fried rice was awesome, and I mean it as being a person of having fried rice background culturally.
Don’t forget to go next door, Ginger Elizabeth, for dessert.

I really liked the food here! Came out quick and our waiter was awesome.
We came our labor day and there was one guy running the entire floor. He was doing an amazing job. We got the Pad Ki Mow and the chicken skewers. Our food was very fresh and very tasty!

Quality and freshness are expressed through the food here at Thai Basil. The prices are high compared to other spots but the food is very tasty. It’s clean and delicious and not oily for Thai food. You get a nice taste of umami and I’ll keep returning to eat here.

I really like this place (I had it mixed up with the place upstairs Veg Cafe but they are both really good). I have been here several times over the past few years and I went back recently. They have a fairly diverse menu with vegan options. (Check out their menu). They have a “seasonal menu” that changes from time to time.
The service was really good and the atmosphere is nice. You can adjust pretty much anything as far as gluten free, vegetarian or vegan options. Most of the entrees and items are Thai types so lots of noodles and rice. If you’re vegan or vegetarian and like Thai food I would recommend this place 100%.

I love it so much here. The people here took such good care of me and I was really the only one here in the restaurant after one table left but it was good because I got to charge up my laptop and my phone it was two tables here next to outlets and the lady here so sweet.
Now, that mushroom dish amazing the fried mushrooms here I couldn’t even finish it played it with so much and it was really delicious. Let me explain.
You know how you’ve been to a million restaurants and they have fried mushrooms on the menu and it’s just those regular tiny small white mushrooms maybe they’re cut in half. And you know when it’s done good it’s a really good okay thing to order.
The mushrooms here are way more better than that and they’re so substantial the flavors are delectable you can taste the smokiness the crispiness in the peppers and everything man it’s so good I’m going to come back.

Tucked away in Midtown Sacramento is an absolute gem of a Thai restaurant that hits every note just right. We were lucky enough to have Reesie as our server—she was friendly, informative, and made the experience even more enjoyable.
I had the Pad See Ew—perfectly wok-fried flat rice noodles with tender chicken, broccoli florets, and egg in a rich sweet soy sauce. The noodles were cooked to perfection: soft yet chewy with that unmistakable smoky flavor you only get from a hot wok. This dish hit the spot—sweet, savory, comforting, and deeply satisfying.
We also shared the Krapow Kaidow Bento Box—a street food-inspired lunch featuring minced chicken sautéed in spicy garlic soy sauce with green beans, peppers, Thai basil, and topped with a crispy fried egg. It came with salad, blanched veggies, rice, and an appetizer. Everything was incredibly fresh—from the jasmine rice to the crisp vegetables. You can tell there’s real care and skill behind the scenes in the kitchen.
And yes, I did a little deep dive on the hot sauces too! They’ve got the usual red chili Sriracha-style sauce, a tangy red pepper blend, and my favorite: the house fish sauce with chopped fresh Thai chilis, garlic, and maybe a hint of soy and ginger—classic Southeast Asian flavor bomb.
We sat outside, and on a beautiful day like today, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy your meal. The patio is peaceful and dog-friendly—they even had water bowls out for the pups. I’m not sure what it’s like on a rainy day, but when the sun’s shining, this place is a real vibe.
