Discovered this hidden gem of a Yogurt Drink store in Basil. Tried mango yogurt and It was absolutely fantastic! The flavors were on point, and I can't wait to come back for more. A must-try for yogurt enthusiasts! and for sure Chicken pad Thai is amazing as always!
Have been eating from this place. Always forget to leave a review until now :). The staffs are always nice and friendly, especially the lady managers. My favorite choice is bulid your own box. Food is always fresh, not too much oily, but flavorful. The sauces and carrol pickles are always the reason why I come back so many. The thai iced tea is also cheaper, less than $3, compared to other bubble tea stores.
Don't order plain noodles. Its terrific without soup / being fried. One star for speed of delivery, one star for the shrimp, one star for staff friendliness. Overall it's bad.
Had only tried Basil Box once a few years back so trying it again. Great selection of options. I tried their panang curry sauce. The server commented that it was spicy and maybe to someone who's not used to having so much spice in their life 😄 but it was the perfect spiciness. Enjoy it and definitely will crave it again.
Decent healthy fast food place within the RBC Plaza food court. You get to pick your choice of carbohydrates (white rice, brown rice, or cold noodles), two veggies, one protein, one sauce and toppers/garnishments I had the Lemongrass Chicken on white rice with peanut sauce. It was a great tasting pairing. Overall, great value for $15 taxes included as it was decently portioned and tasted good.
Excellent food! I got the shrimp over brown rice and spring mix. Along with my veggies and toppings, I got the spicy peppers that added the perfect amount of heat to my meal. This was the perfect lunch, complete with Thai tea.
This is my favorite spot for quick to-go lunches. You get a fast boxed lunch. Its pretty easy: 1) Pick your base (rice, salad or noodles) 2) Pick your protein (beef, chicken, tofu etc) 3) Pick your veggies 4) Pick your toppings 5) Pick your sauce The major benefit is you can call ahead for pickup/takeout or delivery if you know exactly what you want, and its a healthy alternative to fast food. The beef and chicken are cooked very well and not overdone.
I had always been a fan of Basil Box's lunch, but their breakfast is just atrocious. I had the Gulai Chicken sandwich today and everything was wrong about it. 1) Tiny portion 2) Egg was overcooked on BOTH layers 3) Barely any chicken 4) The rice was crunchy, dry, and hard (as can be seen from the clear segments on each rice grain). This means the rice was most likely reheated from a batch of refrigerated overnight leftovers. I seriously advise you guys to please learn how to make a proper Japanese rice bun. And on top of that they're charging $5.59 for it. No wonder there was no queue and everyone was in line at their neighbouring Tim Hortons. I was happy to see a different set of breakfast menu options in the food court but this was an utter disappointment.
Friendly staff and delicious food!
Basil Box is always my go-to when im looking for something to eat at work. Food is great, bit let me tell you about the service here. I dont know her name, but the energy of the lady who works there! She truly exemplifies customer service! Ill always be a customer here.
San was fantastic. She made my experience at Basil Box exquisite.
Very hood
Incredible, fresh and consistent food made by a super-efficient team that gives quick, friendly service every time. Teamwork like Subway in the 90s!!! Highly recommend the spicy Penang curry sauce if youre down with the fire.
The staff here are amazing, super friendly & quick!!
Wow what an experience my lunch was. It was kinda like exploring an actual box of basils. Very epic food and service. No skill issue complaints coming from me. 10/10 would go again.

San is amazing! She explained the order if process, made some great recommendations. Excellent service
I get lunch here sometimes on break. The food is always fresh and delicious. Sometimes they run out of certain veggies on display, but the employees have always been happy to prepare a fresh batch upon request. Shoutout to their manager San for excellent service every time.

Nice lady serving me
Very good service, definitely recommend coming here
At 12:15pm on a Monday, they ran out of chicken, wait time about 7 min Service was chaotic, the servers are trying their best but it is obvious they don t follow a structured process. Regarding food, I got the pad thai and the rice was like a block of pasta, the chicken was maybe 75 grams so the overall it was not a good experience at the price point.
Best choice for a rushing lunch . Nice staff and fresh food.
The service staff are very friendly. There are many choices for the meals, and they are very delicious. They include vegetables, meat, rice and soul sauce. I highly recommend it! I love so much
Great good great service
Always delicious and always fresh!!
I get excellent service. They are extremely kind and friendly and know my order. My all time favorite salad!!
I ve always had a pleasant experience at this location because of San (even during rush hour). She s the sweetest and has the best recommendations when I m indecisive with what to order.
Really fantastic service! They are very friendly and suggested how to make the meal even better with the toppings and add ons. Food was great too. Will definitely come back!
Great location, I order here personally. Our office orders for staff lunch regularly as well. Staff is always nice. Food is great. Highly recommend.

Best Basil Box
$15 for one of the worst pad Thais I ve ever had. Congealed noodles with a sour flavour that is anything but a pad Thai. Miserable server too People leaving 5 stars been smokin too much Toronto pot. Go to Thai express.
Thank you San very much for your great service and excellent patience with my order! You have a great weekend!
A bit expensive. But word the wise, if you ask for chilli peppers, they pile them all in one spot. I just ate a mouth full of chillies. It s ruining my day right now.
The pad Thai was not good! Do not order it. The chicken had way too much pepper. This is not pad Thai, its overly peppered noodles with chicken, corn and no herbs/bean sprouts or flavour. Worse $20 spent on lunch.
Came here for brunch while on the way to Union Station. Lines were long but service was very fast and servers were very pleasant. There was a promo going on so I got a free cup of Thai iced . The food was tasty and filling and they have lots of vegetarian options. Highly recommended for a great lunch stop.
Very healthy clean varieties! Love it!

Very good service, the lady who helped me was very nice.
My fav place from all the food courts Downtown mainly thanks to SAN she is so amazing and super friendly and accommodating! One of the nicest and best people I have had the pleasure of meeting :)
Taste OK but the portion is too small for a CAD14 meal.
Ordered basil chicken and it costs $14 Very expensive Small portions and low quality ingredients mostly rice I do not recommend
Tastes ok , the amount of pickle carrot on the basil box was delicious . There are better ways to boost the shrimps
Tasty, healthy, and quick
Excellent food and service! See you next time!
Great service, great food.

Excellent, friendly staff with generous portions. Will answer Q about the sauce or toppings!
This place is very nice!! Best service!!!
Staff were very friendly and helpful when giving recommendations and the food is very flavourful.
I order chicken fried rice and what I got that is cold and uncooked noodles, ignore my note and put carrot pickles which I mention not. Terrible experience, definitely never coming back. 0 star if I could for this store.
I love the food here! Great combination of Viet & Thai.
Have been here every lunch time and the food was so delicious, i have build my own box with chicken and so many sauces and toper . Thai Icetea is the best drink that i never ever had before
Great food. Good service. Will comeback again.
Taste good

This is honestly my go to restaurant! The food is great & healthy! But the amazing guest service that I receive from San and her crew, is what gets me coming back every time!
Love the food and the atmosphere!
these boxes never disappoint & are packed with veggies, flavour and protein. a perfect meal! Edit: taking a star off because the quality has dropped a bit since they re-opened. The yonge & king location is a lot better and my new go-to.
Great tasting Asian bowls with high quality ingredients.
Love Basil Box. Always go to the one by Eatons Centre. So thankful that they finally decided to open one up in the PATH, located very close to where I work. Just the right amount of food for a great healthy lunch.
Packed with noodles, I can barely see the meat inside...
Tried this for the first time today and its amazing. I got the noodles with shrimp, sweet potato, corn and herbs and pickled veggies on top. The sweet Chile and curry sauces are so good and the servers are friendly as well. Ill be back.
Decent healthy food
Amazing food AND very fair prices. Always happy once Ive had some Basil Box!
Great food, so many options for vegetarians, vegans and people with gluten intolerances. Everything is so flavourful
One of my favourite lunches in the city. Quick, healthy, and a great option for my vegetarian girlfriend!
I love the food here, its my go to lunch spot! Many different options to change it up every day. Also, they have options to make their boxes vegan and vegetarian friendly!
Love this spot!! So many wonderful and healthy options to choose from :)
