Basil, Carson City

It was my first time visisting the Basil. It is a classy restaurant. The waiters were polite and well attired. I was surprised the chef - owner came to our table to greet us. The food was greart, and good portion. I took some curry home, and it got better and spicier over the time. I cannot wait to go back, and I am so glad that my boyfriend took me there!

This is absoulutly the best Thai restaurant I have been to. This is including California L.A or Bay Area. The food is well prepared and has a slight twist on the standard fare most places serve. Yes, you can still get the standard Pad Thai and Curries, but try some of the seafood specials. We just had whole Pompano fish served over snow peas with a sweet and spicey sauce. This thing blew me away! I will agree with the other review that this place is waaaay better then the place around the corner, Thai Spice Kitchen. Giv it a try and post a review!

The food was grrreat ! I love their creative way to make the food more enjoyable. We went there several times since December 2007. The lunch was superb, quick and fresh. My lunch was Garlic Carson with beef , it came with soup of the day, simple salad with peanut dressing, one scoop hot rice ball, and fried bread. Yummy. One night we went there again. The waiter, TJ...the charming Thai man with great personality...came to every new tables to greet and explain the special that evening. I had Phaa Phem Special. Stired fried combination seafood with red curry and thai yellow chilli sauce. Excellent! My wife had steam sea bass with lemon grass. It's definetely a must try ! the fish melted in your mouth, the spice was perfect. In the end we had fried banana with coconut ice cream. It was very creative the way thay made the dessert. We'd love to come back more and more to our new favorite Thai Place. After all, we went home happy. We spent $ 61,00 for the two of us. It's not bad at all consider we had great food, friendly service and wonderful experience again and hopefully again.

Although this restaurant has great ambiance, the food is just average. I actually prefer to go to right around the corner to Thai Spice Kitchen, the food is so much better.
