We are passing through and wanted a delicious takeout option for the night. So glad we found Basil Thai... they are incredibly kind and you can tell they take pride in their meals. We ordered Pad Thai and the Bun Combo delicious. Highly recommend! If we lived here wed order from them regularly.

The food was incredibly flavorful. There were lots of choices after our request for gluten free substitutes that were also flavorful. The Tom Ka Kai soup was creamy and delicious. The shrimp tempura was flaky. The server was helpful and attentive. This will be our go to spot for Thai.
