First time at this restaurant and it won’t be the last. The food and service were excellent. The food was very tasty, fresh and excellent sized portions. It’s a small family run business and they couldn’t do enough for you. The prices are also very reasonable. If you like Thai food it’s definitely worth a visit. They also have Vietnamese food but we didn’t try it.

Our family has been eating here for years. The Tom Kha is second to none. The vegetarian menu is extensive and I can’t say which one is my favourite as they’re all so tasty. The staff is wonderful and efficient.

When Pad Thai is a bunch of noodles joined together, flavourless and missing other ingredients and have some pieces of chicken at a Thai place, it leaves very little confidence for other dishes. Paid $19 for food fit for the compost bin. The chicken dumpling soup was edible. Not great.

I've always been happy to dine at T'Basil. They are a very good Thai restaurant located in the heart of Orleans. Today for lunch I had their fusion rolls which I enjoy very much (a little bit Thai a little bit Japanese). And I had their very fulsome Tom yum going. My wife had the more traditional Vietnamese summer rolls and we shared a very nice mango salad. We also took home an order of their basil noodles which are fabulous!

A couple of Saturdays ago, we ordered lunch for eight hard working people who were starving. Appetizer of A9 - wontons - those little pockets of fried flavour goodness with thai dipping sauce. We followed that up with 3 orders of V13 - Vegetarian Spicy Noodle with soy bits (they even made one extra spicy as we requested); 2 order of X8 - Spicy noodle with chicken; one X7 - Grilled Salmon; one order of V18 - NEUA TOD KROB (served with rice); and X12 - PAD TOA LUUN TAO (served with rice). The order was ready for pickup in 25 minutes. All was hot, delicious, fresh ingredients and plentiful. All the bellies were full and even a few leftovers. Though we did takeout, there is a patio in front andplenty of free parking. Thank you for the most excellent lunc T-Basil - we'll be baaaaaaack. :-)

Their padthai is just insane, Ottawa really do not have good restaurants compared to toronto, especially the Orleans area. The noodles is simply one big mess and the other ingredients are flavourless. I cannot believe the price I paid for this dish. We need to uphold our standards to stop such nonsense restaurants. Or we can keep enjoying such quality in the long term. What a disappointment.

We ve heard great things about T Basil - and they did not disappoint. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was hot and fresh. Their wonton soup was the best that we ve ever had. Flavourful broth with lots of veggies and hearty wontons. We shared the grilled chicken and pork along with the pad Thai curry - both were outstanding. The chef even came out to visit our table .

Ordered the Pho Special and Tom Kha the bar was already on the floor after I saw how FAST my order was sent out after just placing it. What seems like an attempt at Pho was just hot sugary water with some onions, VERY sweet water with onions thrown in. The Tom Kha had a near 2 inch layer of oil.. after stirring it up Similar to how the hot sugary water item was made, this item was just hot spicy water with some toppings, not even the mushrooms in the spicy water gave it any flavour, the only difference was after stirring it, under the inches of oil was a cloudier looking liquid to what I assume was supposed to be the flavour of coconut just from what the item description noted. My younger daughter was waiting for lunch so I diluted the sugary hot water and added some actual flavours to it, was somehow still very sweet but luckily she s not picky and 5 year olds like sugar. Couldn t revive whatever the other item sent to me that was listed as Tom Kha on the menu, she was DOA. My daughter and I both aren t picky but this was on a whole other level of inedible. Restaurant can reply asking for pics or whatever but if you d like to see and try for yourself, just make an order.

I usually take out order the Tom Yum soup (Large) and it is SOOOO good. Like, amazing. It comes with mushrooms, shrimp and tofu. The broth is so flavorful I dont ask for noodles (they come on the side) because the soup is the star of the show. So lucky T Basil is in the neighbourhood! :)

I tried this place for the first time. In general, Im a soup maniac so I ordered the starter portion of the chicken wonton soup (not typical pork)....Alright so under $10 bucks I got 5 or 6 big wonton chicken, CHICKEN in a delicious broth with fresh crunchy veggies. I got soya sauce & salt/pepper on the side. I was full and Im still craving it. Thank you xo

Not good. Not Thai. Not authentic. WARNING: many vegetarian dishes are not. They contain fish sauce, etc. Ordered chicken Pad Thai - it was basically chicken and noodles. No vegetables, no chives, no peanuts(!). This is not pad Thai. And it cost $16. Never going back.

i was in need of some cheering up with food but it didnt really work. ordered vermicelli pork takeout. didnt feel like leaving a tip esp. with the high cost, i know that is controversial and can lead to decrease in service/food quality. over $17 and the dish is a medium portion with mostly just noodles & pork. it made me sad. no mint, cilantro, or basil in a place called tbasil??? come on... herbs are really important! no bean sprouts. no hot sauce, just some kind of liquid sauce comes standard. I cant speak to any other dish as i wont be back, but i dont recommend this. nothing wrong with the pork, but it makes me sad to eat knowing how much i spent. i make really flavorful ramen with mostly cheap ingredients & i will just go for that next time. similar waiting time for both. learning to cook your own easy meals is so good for your well being & wallet! this is just how it seems to go in suburgatory.... either i cook for myself, or my depression gets worse. it was just okay & i didnt find it worth the cost. maybe you will have a better time. Vegetarian options: a page for non meat eaters in the back.

The patio was wonderful with our two dogs. The servers,were polite and very friendly. Even came out to pet the dogs after our meal. The food was incredible in taste, presentation and portion size. Many families were patrons at this establishment. With more simple Thai food available to those with picky eaters. The chicken pad Thai is a must try. I will definitely bring friends and family again to this establishment. Vegetarian options: On the menu they had an entire section dedicated to vegetarian meals and options. It was truly refreshing to see such a wide array.

December 22, 2023

Do not recommend T Basil. All of the Chicken Pad Thai noodles were stuck together, and there was minimal sauce, no bean sprouts, and lacked a lot of flavour, the only flavour I tasted was fish. I couldnt eat more than a couple bites. The lunch deal did not come with the wonton soup as it states it does and when I called, they told me they dont do the wonton soup, they give a spring roll. All I can say is yikes...

I regularly order from TBasil and frequently get the meal size Tom Yum as take out. It has the perfect heat level and a rich broth that makes Thai Express version taste like water. The pho and curry dishes are also great, as are the spring and summer rolls (I like the vegetarian ones). I do suggest you avoid the Phad Thai here, it is lackluster, but everything else shines.

This is hands down my favorite Thai restaurant in the Ottawa area. They are consistently delicious and their ingredients are fresh.

Obviously I ordered cause the place I usually would was an hour and a half wait. Should have waited cause the pad Thai was not good at all and portions weee tiny. Tasted and looked like Kraft dinner with ketchup and the noodles were all stuck together. The spring roll was odd cause the rice paper was thick. Sort of like eating a deep fried won ton wrapped spring roll. The mango salad wasn t that bad but the basil was wilted and turning brownish. Would not recommend this place at all. Might as well eat at Thai express and save 65$.

Very plain restaurant, definitely not a fine dining experience. Table service left a lot to be desired (plate served half hanging off the edge of the table, or just handed directly to us to put down on the table ourselves. Food (chicken pad thai and spicy noodles with beef) was borderline passable; have definitely had way better at this price elsewhere. Portions were small. But the appetizer spring rolls were good, at least. Side note: dont have the Sake; worst sake Ive ever had - swill.

Ive only eaten here once for takeout. My workplace ordered lunch from here on a Saturday. The general consensus from the staff was that the food smelled and tasted odd - aside from me none of the staff finished their meals and some wouldnt even take more than one bite. My meal was alright but definitely had an odd taste to it and I found the sauce to be a bit more of a liquid consistency than I would like. Thankfully my meal did not upset my stomach - but the whole experience was enough for me to decide not to eat here again.

★★
December 22, 2022

Expensive food with lackluster flavours. Chicken pad Thai particularly bland with the strongest flavour being fish sauce. Yellow curry not much better. Will not be going back.

December 22, 2022

This was by far the worst PAD TAI I have ever had. It was for take-out and we ordered veggie pad tai and spring rolls. There was NO tofu in the pad tai AT ALL! It was dried noodles and 2 pieces of carrots only. The spring rolls were greasy and gross. A total waste of $ I wouldn t recommend these items at all. NO TOFU!?

I have never seen such polarizing reviews for a restaurant. In the end I join the ranks of those who did not have a good experience. I ordered the Vietnamese vermicelli. The grilled pork was actually bland. The meat was not tender. Everything else in the dish was fine. In terms of service, when I walked in the man stared at me like he couldnt figure out why I was there. Given that it was lunch hour on a weekday, youd think its obvious Im there to order food. I had to to greet HIM to get the ball rolling.

Picked up take out dinner for 4 from TBasil which has been a preferred location for weekday lunches on occasion with my daughter for a long time. Tonight was a celebration dinner with friends. We ordered & picked up the meals & returned home. The food was nice and hot. Guest 1 selected the V7 Veg w tofu & crispy noodle + V2 veg rolls; 2nd guest selected the C2 Panang curry with shrimp and V2 Veg rolls. Both of these meals looked good and smelled great although I noticed the C2 guest left pretty much all of her rice & sauce. Hubby & I both ordered the X2 Pad Thai. I ordered mine with only shrimp and he ordered his with shrimp and chicken. That was the first problem. When I was placing that part of the order I had to repeat that it was one X2 with shrimp and one X2 with chicken & shrimp a couple of times. What we got was anything but that. Yes, it was Pad Thai but it had mystery meat (sorry Im not really sure whether it was beef or pork or both), chicken, shrimp, and tofu. That was a bit disappointing for me as Im strictly a shrimp person and my husband is not a fan of tofu and then asked me what the mystery meat was. Our A1 spring rolls were excellent with a nice crispy golden wrap and hot tasty stuffing so that was a promising start however the rest of the meal not quite so pleasing. There was what appeared to be crumbled or finely chopped peanuts on top and a few bean sprouts but the overall dishes, aside from having the wrong toppings, merited a better flavour/taste as it was quite bland, plus a bit of chopped cilantro for colour & fresh flavour was sorely missing. I wasnt looking for hot/spicy but some flavour that was a bit more distinctive would have made it better. I would also recommend the lime wedges be sent in a separate bag as they were also hot to the touch. Our V7 crispy noodle guest enjoyed her meal and her V2 rolls and had no comment except she was satisfied with her meal. As we had expectations for good food we were disappointed in the quality of the X2 and more so with the error of the pad thai topping of the mixed meat/shrimp product instead of what we ordered. I truly enjoyed my last lunch take out from TBasil of delicious won ton soup and fresh roll with shrimp, and may just stick to lunch from them for now.

Beware of food poisoning. Not my first time at a Thai/Viet restaurant but oh boy I had a bad experience here last Saturday. Service was generally okay, I sat and had my soup, I started feeling cramps in my stomach and was weak shortly after I left there. I had a pho soup with some sea food in it. I suspect the soup/seafood was not properly cooked. I vomited 5 times until all the food left my body, Im glad I did not suffer diarrhoea. Beware of food poisoning here and what you order.

Disappointing and over-priced. Sad to say this because the other reviews seemed good but I paid almost $90 to feed my partner and I and the food was incredibly bland. No flavoursome smells or bright vivid colours you would expect to see in an authentic Thai dish. Hopefully just a one off occurrence that happened to us but its enough for me to stick to other Thai establishments in the future.

Wasnt done with my meal around 8:30 and was told they closing since its covid. Very fast to take my money and shoe me out. No customer service, not even a napkin!

I dont normally give bad reviews because its someones livelihood. But this is by far one of the worst meals as a family, weve eaten. No flavours and the most mushy tomatoey pad Thai???? The chicken was dry and the shrimp was overcooked. The spring rolls were drenched in oil and burnt. My partners meal had no flavor and there was hardly anything but noodles. I hope that the restaurant takes into consideration that the last few reviews reflect the changes in the kitchen that may need to happen, to maintain their business in such harsh times. TBasil, I hope you see the value in these reviews and consider a revamp.

I have brought different people on different occasions, and all of them were very impressed with their meal that they picked. Very nice staff, clean, welcoming!

Went there last month. The place is nice and server is very nice. As for the food. It was just ok. Nothing special. I may have went on a bad day but we ordered take out and I had to re cook my food. My padthai chicken the noodle was rubbery and the chicken was undercook. The sauce just taste like sugar ketchup The rest of the food I order was cooked and was ok. Will not be going back.

Average thai and pho. More $ than other places. Chicken tasted like it was a chicken loaf.

Very plain, not much sauce or veggies. Tried the pad Thai, vegetarian vermicelli and papaya salad. They were all nothing special

Food is horrible, my first and last time just wanted to help out the local business community, the pho broth is sweet and discussing....never again

I ordered via Skip the Dishes and it was ok. The spring rolls were oddly mushy on the inside, and the chicken was kind of hard on the outside, but everything tasted fine. You get a good portion of food. I ate it all anyway.

Really happy we found this place! We are fairly new to the area and this is the best Pad Thai we ve had since Moving back to Canada! The grilled shrimp is amazing! The salmon is beyond wonderful I really meant to take pictures of our food tonight but it was devoured! And 3 meals for $40 was amazing. Can t wait for restaurants to be open again some day so we can come back here for a proper sit down supper. For now very happy and very grateful to have this so close to home for take out!

I first heard of TBasil from my clients who live in Hawkesbury. They would drive over 45 minutes for TBasil. So, of course I had to try this restaurant. After countless visits, TBasil is hands down the best Thai and Vietnamese restaurant in Ottawa, not only Orleans! I love their quality and attention to detail. While other place will serve PHO without basil and bean sprouts, TBasil never disappoints! The lemongrass pho is to die for... everything here is amazing! Especially the delicious soups

Ordered chicken satay tonight. Got it home & cut up for kids. Was RAW! Not undercooked, overseasoned, etc was completely raw. As if someone put frozen chicken in the fryer for a few seconds- crispy outside, raw inside. Please stop serving raw chicken to kids.

The food here is absolutely fantastic to say the least. Leon was super friendly, his hospitality was amazing, and he recommended great choices. Were not super experimental people when it comes to food but everything we ate was absolutely divine! The food and flavours tasted so authentic, an experience you cant get at a mainstream restaurant. Very nice food presentation and very clean/tidy environment with super nice owners and staff. Highly, highly recommend to anyone! Thanks Leon for having us! Hope to see you again soon...

I must have been there on a very bad night because my food was horrible. Freshly microwaved noodles and rubbery chicken-like blobs. Flies accompanied us at the table and I found a big hair in my plate. I will definately not return. On the bright side, the service was good and the kids liked the fries and chicken nuggets.

Worst breakfast Ive ever had. Paid 12$ for the big breakfast. Bacon was undercooked and super stringy. Scrambled eggs were overcooked and all one piece. There were a total of 9 homefries. Unseasoned. French toast had no flavor. Both my partner and I had the same breakfast and both were super disappointing. Weve never walked out on a breakfast before. Still charged us for one plate. Didnt even eat 3 bites out of either dish. Spend your money elsewhere!

Customer service here is horrible. Two of the items in my order were wrong when I ordered for delivery and when I called to complain, the man on the phone just argued with me. Number one rule in the service industry is that the customer is always right, proper training is definitely needed here. I just hung up on the man because he was incessantly arguing back any comment I had to make.
