It's a bit noisy, not sure if it's the sound of running water or music—unless this place is going for an authentic Bangkok street food vibe. By the way, the pork neck is delicious.

A Culinary Escape to Thailand in Richmond Hill Nestled in the heart of Richmond Hill, this unassuming Thai gem offers a genuine taste of Thailand that makes you feel transported the moment you step inside. The décor beautifully evokes the ambiance of Thailand, setting the stage for a memorable evening with friends. We sampled a variety of dishes, starting with the *Tom Yum Soup*, which delivered a delightful harmony of sourness and spice. The tangy broth had just the right amount of chili kick, showcasing the kitchen’s finesse with traditional Thai flavors. The *Pad Thai* was a revelation. Unlike any I’ve tasted before, it struck an impeccable balance of flavors, with a medley of textures that left a lasting impression. It was clear that the chef took great care in crafting each element of this dish. Moving on to the *Sweet and Sour Chicken*, while the sauce was a classic, we found it slightly too tangy and lacking in savoriness. However, it still brought a familiar taste that complemented the rest of the meal. The *Pork Belly with Vegetables* was the one slight disappointment of the evening. The portion of pork belly was notably smaller than expected, especially compared to the enticing images on the menu. Yet, the flavor was outstanding, with tender pork belly pieces mingling beautifully with the fresh vegetables. For dessert, we indulged in the *Mango Sticky Rice*. The mango, with its subtle sourness, paired wonderfully with the sweet, creamy sticky rice, making for a balanced and refreshing end to the meal. The overall experience was authentic and satisfying, although the service timing could use a bit of improvement. Our mango sticky rice dessert arrived 20 minutes after ordering, despite being requested alongside our main dishes. Nevertheless, the reasonable prices, friendly staff, and the delicious food more than made up for this minor hiccup. We’ll certainly be back to savor more of this hidden gem’s delightful Thai offerings.

The place is cozy, you can enjoy nice conversation while dining. The seatings are well arranged. The food were amazing! They offer lots of authentic Thai cuisine and all were prepared and cooked with standard. Ingredients were not shortchanged. The staff are all friendly, attentive, and quick to provide what you request. We will definitely be back and bring friends and relatives.

We had a fantastic lunch here. The food was great and the service was superb. All the dishes we ordered had great flavours and good texture. Compared to a lot of other Thai restaurants, their noodles are not overcooked and have a good elasticity to them which makes the food so much better. Their sticky rice dessert was also amazing. Even though we were quite full, the rice was so smooth and the contrast of flavours from the sweetness of the coconut sauce and the sourness of the mango made the dessert so light for some reason. As for the service, both the waiter and the waitress there were friendly, welcoming and smiling throughout the dining experience which made us feel so much more comfortable eating at the restaurant. Finally, the price is acceptable. Each dish was around 18$ and it did come with a good portion. Their lunch special is even less expensive and it also comes with a soup and a spring roll.

The food was below average, service was very frustrating, and the price is quite high. I came on a Friday night w reservation and the restaurant was basically full. We were seated noticed there were only 2 waitress who did serving, cleaning, greeting, and taking orders. It took 5 frustrating minutes each time to wave over a waiter for simple stuff like ordering, asking about order, and getting bill. It was so slow and they look at the floor to ignore your wave because they are so busy. The only dish I enjoyed was the shrimp cake appetizer. The rest was not good. The chicken satay was very dry and portion was so small. The red curry duck had some odd ingredients like grapes, and the duck was very tough and under seasoned. And the pad see ew w shrimp which costs extra at $21, had maybe 4 shrimps total and the sauce tasted too sweet like all hoisin sauce. The noodle texture was also soggy. The meal was over $60 per person which was not worth it at all given the taste, portion and service.

The foods are pretty good and price is very reasonable. I love how the mango sticky rices are made with different types of rices and the sauce is on point. The interior is amazing and the seats are comfortable.

The service was excellent. The waiters brought us 2 cups of hot water for the 2 elders without us having to ask. They gave us the safest table for a stroller. The food was fantastic. The only downside is that their curry doesn't include rice, but it's no big deal. The price is definitely on the pricier end but it's worth every penny if you have the budget. Definitely the best Thai place I've been to so far.

The last time I came to Thai Basil was almost a decade ago and I'm glad to see this local restaurant still going strong. We visited just before the weekend lunch rush and had a great time! We got their set for 4 which included mango salad, soup, chicken skewers, spring rolls, pad Thai, grilled chicken, and a choice of main. The portions were on the larger side and we could not finish the food. Everything came out wonderfully except for the crispy sea bass which was small and dry. At its normal menu price of $40, I would have felt highly disappointed in this dish. Since we got it as part of the set menu, it was more okay. Still, overall Thai Basil was good and we are looking forward to coming back.

UPDATE: The damages were more significant than initially thought and it s very very expensive to repair now . The food was good and server was nice. However, last night after we ate, we witnessed one of your server girls reverse straight back into my cousin s truck w/o using rearview mirror since her Mercedes G-Wagon had no backup camera. There is significant damage that needs to be assessed in morning. Parking: Workers will reverse into you because they cannot drive properly

the food they serve on Uber Eats is definitely not what they serve when dining in. Ordered a pad thai, tasted like complete garbage. couldn t even finish it. tasted cheap and not authentic at all. you re better off getting food court food. disappointed and would never recommend to others.

Ordered take out via uber eats for their BOGO deal on the pad thai, looks nothing like the photo on their menu and quality of food was really low in my opinion. Zero stars.

We went on a weekday evening and given the reviews, thought it would be best to take our friends there. I was definitely let down by the food and the service. We were given the menu and had to wait for at least 20-30 minutes before they took our order. I was looking forward to having my thai milk tea, but it seemed like the waiters and waitresses didnt know what was on the menu. I was given thai milk tea with sprite. I then told them I wanted a regular thai milk tea and definitely not the best I had. I was disappointed :( . We ordered the shrimp cakes, pineapple fried rice, pad see ew, pork pas kra pao and a chicken pad kra pao. Food was good, but weve definitely had better authentic ones at other spots. My friends didnt seem very pleased with their alcoholic drinks. Over priced for mediocre. Unfortunately, I wouldnt recommend nor will I go back again.

We loveeee thai food! This spot us authentic - thai natives cooking all the meals! We had the panang curry and 2 orders of jasmine rice (the curry does not come with any rice). Just a heads up - $20 bucks for the curry and rice was about $3 each. Pad see ew (similar to drunken noodles) - amazing with some chili oil. And for dessert we got the fried banana with mango ice cream (for it to be balanced, I suggest getting an extra scoop of mango ice cream)! Overall, great experience because everything was delicious! Will try to cocolicious dessert and pineapple fried rice in the future when back in Canada! Also, my toddler didnt want to eat anything from there so I grabbed a slice from down the block and no one made a big deal about it which Im grateful for

I havent been here for over a year. The draw for me today was the memory of excellent food and decor there. Lunch today was great (Pad thai and Pad se ew). We were the first customers of the day. The negative was being greeted by a very unhappy server, she was void of customer care and cold as a cucumber. In the empty restaurant, we asked her if we could move to another table away from the waterfall as it was noisy and her response was it is the same everywhere. We moved to a table further away from the waterfall to discover a much quieter experience. Then we asked her about the difference between two similar looking dishes on the menu and she said read it on the menu, straight faced. We almost walked... Anyhow, stayed and experienced the excellent food and decor as usual!

Food imis alright. Not flavourful just salty. Their lunch menu portions are small. My friend Green curry only had 2 small pieces of chicken in it. My Khao soy wasnt that flavourful. Service is fast if youre the obky one there. When the place stars filling up they have slow service. Also the kitchen messed up one of the oder. Made chicken pad Thai instead of shrimp so everyone almost finished their lunch before this last dish came out.

My husband and I came here for lunch. I trolled their IG account for ideas on what to order. They had many dishes we wanted to try but we had to be conscious about our budget. We ended up ordering: - Lunch special Khao Soi Northern Thai Curry Noodle Beef Brisket (comes with a soup & spring roll) - Crispy Pork Belly with Tung Choi - Roti Total before tips = $55 Had we not been there on a budget, I d also would have like to try their: - Thai Iced Tea & Thai Green Iced Tea (FYI - they have a 50% off special on right now, by 4/18/2024, but we couldn t take advantage as we had a $10 off coupon for our whole meal. Couldn t combine offers, which is totally understandable) - Signature Shrimp Cakes - Kai Yang Grilled Chicken - Mango Sticky Rice Restaurant had a nice decor. Food was very good and really tasty. Presentation of our meals was lovely. We really enjoyed everything. Service was friendly as well, especially when we had a bit of a communication misunderstanding about their special promos going on. They have a BOGO on their Bangkok Pad Thai as take-out with a minimum order of $20 (by May 10, 2024). We thought our $55 meal (or more like $45 after coupon) would have qualified but the $20 take-out was based on a $20 minimum TAKE-OUT order and not dine-in. Oh well I was actually looking forward to try this dish and not cook this weekend. Our server was also not initially aware of this condition until he put the order in and was then told otherwise by someone at the back. In my mind, I m not too sure what the difference is between a minimum $20 take-out order vs $20 dine-in. We met the minimum dollar amount ($45 after discount) and also left a tip because we dined-in. I left a 5 star rating because a 4-star would not have seemed fair for what we got & were serviced. However, if I could, it would have been more of a 4.5 star because of this inflexibility/their inability to accommodate, especially since we don t often get take-out from that area.

We ordered the Penang curry chicken with roti. It was delicious so we later added a coconut rice to go with the remaining curry and chicken. We also ordered the tom saap hotpot with beef tendon, which was very flavourful and filled us up. I enjoyed the mocktail which had a bit of spice (just right) and we finished our dinner with the classic mango sticky rice. The mango pieces were a bit small (maybe because its not in season?) so we would probably come back and order the roti ice cream for dessert instead. Service was really good. Staff were always around filling our waters and they were friendly and responsive. We didnt have to wait long to get seated, order, receive our food. We sat and talked while enjoying our food and didnt get rushed to leave even when it got busy. Atmosphere was nice - decor was nice and clean. It was quite loud in the restaurant though so if youre looking for a quieter place, this might not be right, but great for if you like a livelier location.

Im surprised that we werent happier with our order. We didnt get any chopsticks or peanuts with our pickup order as we asked. The brisket had a large amount of fat/tendant chunks, rather than the clean meat shown in pictures. I think in general the photos looked so fresh and beautifully garnished, while what we received was very average. No comparing with ordering Pai.

This is my place to go in the neighborhood to take a very good Thai food. They have an extensive menu for soups and salads to mains and deserts all made following traditional methods. I enjoy their Tom Yum soup and curries every time.

Excellent service and delicious food. I got the beef Khao soi and the pork jowl. The beef in the Khao soi was deliciously tender, and the soup was so creamy. The pork jowl was tasty with the sauce it came with. Would highly recommend both. The pineapple fried rice and pad gra pao looked tasty too.

December 22, 2023

Food was below average. Deep Fried Banana, wet with an alcoholic scent. When the hard crispy cover of a fried food gets wet and soft, it will taste disgusting. As a thai restaurant, they don t even have FISH SAUCE. 100 bugs, I would rather go to Chiang Rai. Ruined my day, thank you

I am currently sitting in this restaurant which has been extremely busy for more than 1.5 hours I ve been here. I am beyond shocked. They have two waiters who are exhausted because of the over work. Seriously so not right!!!!! Owners, pls be sympathetic. We had to wait for so long for the sticky rice that all our veggies were finished by the time rice was here. But more than anything how can they understaff this busy place. UNBELIEVABLE.

I haven t been able to visit this restaurant for many years but I managed to stop by for dinner recently. The food was fantastic while the service definitely needed improvement. EDIT: After management reached out explaining that they were short staffed that evening and that there were many new hires that day, I would like to give them some slack in regards to the poor service we received that evening. Hope to visit again in a few weeks.

This place is a true vibe. Come for the ambiance and the setting, the food is extremely authentic and staff are genuine and very kind. The waterfall in the restaurant makes it a very calming and peaceful. Our favourite would be the dessert that we had, the coconut ice cream and the mango rice - fantastic flavours and very well plated. Will return!

Service was nice. Restaurant was nicely decorated. Food price was outageous. Ordered a chicken Panang curry, price was 20% more than other Thai places, and then they told me it didnt come with steam rice, had to pay an extra $3 for rice... what curry doesnt come with rice? Feel like I was scammed. Wouldnt go back again.

First time at Thai Basil the service and atmosphere were amazing. The lady that was serving us was very nice and answered any questions I had about menu and the food came quick which was good and they kept refilling water which was also good. It s a great date night spot and the food was good too just thought my dish that I got was the seafood needed a bit more seasoning and Vegetables need to be cook longer but other then I would recommend going to this place especially if you like Thai food

Food were great generally. I tried Shrimp Cake 4.5 , Chicken Skewers 4 (sauce is tasty, Chicken has charcoal flavored but not much flavour in the meat), Tom Yum Soup 3 (just average, not so flavorful), Larb Lettuce Wrap 5 , Pad See Ew 4.5 (very tasty, too bad that it s not the thick flat noodle), Basil Tofu and Green Beans 4 (Tofu was done perfectly, taste is good) Service was great, staffs are friendly and very helpful, they are also very attentive too. Atmosphere was good, I like the way they design the booth, it is not parallel on both sides, so the customers will not be seating at same line on both sides.

The decor from the outside sets the mood right when you walk in .The warm lights with handcrafted Thai designs and the fountain. This is probably the tastiest food I have had in a Thai joint. It is located in a huge plaza with kinda limited parking spots .The seating is good however the booths on both sides have diversion .The diversion has see thru glass in it which makes it a little awkward for two different parties for eye contact. It looks like fine place for dates as well but the seating has open concept and not much privacy.It does look lively. Chicken satay skewers are so juicy and tasty . Chicken and beef Khao soi soups were really good and hearty but the beef chunks were much better as the chicken kai so had just one leg piece with bone in and it is really hard to break it with chopsticks. The beef Khao soi has beef chunks with the right soup which makes it almost perfect . The shrimp dish was also quite good. Cocktails were tasty and without ice surprisingly. The potion comes with a little trick which the server executes beautifully. Mango Coconut Margarita tasted lovely with pulpy texture. The menu is surely pricey but the quality makes up for it. There was only mistake the server made.We asked for 2Oz in cocktails .We couldnt taste much alcohol.It is only when we got the bill that we saw the drinks were 1oz, otherwise it would have been 5 for service. I would definitely come back for more in this place and it i Parking: Parking is not as much as the size of the plaza.

We had an office party at Thai Basil last Sunday, and it was outstanding! The party menu, created by Ann, was excellent, offering a variety of choices including vegetarian, and chicken, shrimp, and beef main courses with varying levels of spiciness to suit everyones taste. The shared Thai appetizers were plentiful, and we couldnt even finish them all. The service was great, and we were surprised at how quickly they were able to prepare different main courses for 20+ people. I would highly recommend this restaurant, and special thanks to Ann for taking care of our group.
