Basil Leaf, New Orleans, Louisiana, Thai Restaurant Details

Food:

Delicious!

Food:

I have been to this place at least a dozen times in the past 3 years. The food can be delicious and tasty, or it can be disgusting and gross. I have ordered the same thing on more than one occasion and the believe me the same dish has NOT come out. They are clearly confused there. They don't know even know their own menu. I have decided that for the price I don't want to risk it again and I will not frequent this establishment again; although, in their defense I have had some tasty food (well on some visits).

Food:

This place would be ok if it were $9 per entree. It isn't it is $12-17-ish. I thought the food was ok. It just isn't as good as what they are charging for.

Food:

Delicious. I try to go here at least once a month. They always have a special which is shrimp and veggies in a coconut broth, served in a coconut. It's fantastic. The ribs are great as well. Good, friendly service and atmosphere.

Food:

Recent visits to the Basil Leaf have been increasingly enjoyable. This place has gone up and down over time - and the service still ranges from good to just acceptable - but the food keeps getting better. We had the seafood pad thai and Penang on our last visit and they were so good we wanted to return the following night and eat the same thing. Some of the other dishes are not quite as inspiring (can't say the special curry in a coconut is a favourite), but four of us tried a range of appetisers and main courses a couple of weeks ago and everything we tried was excellent.
