Thai Basil, Clearwater, Florida, Thai Restaurant Details

Food:

The food was watery and had no flavor, also the staff was very glum and it took a while to get our food. There are much better restaurants for thai food.

Food:

IGNORANT STAFF = Although I had repeated and was told “no nuts” my stomach began swelling and I had to sit near the toilet for three hours after eating my take-out from Thai Basil. I can have ‘peanut traces’ and peanut oil and be totally fine (It takes a lot to spark my reaction)- so this was an obvious disregard of my request. Because of this ignorance I’ll have to rate it low. BUT THE FOOD = The Toasted Tortilla appetizer was unique. It’s like a crispy Quesadilla with a ground Meat filling and you dip it in a sweet sauce. The Chicken Panang Curry was very watery in flavor and appearance. Finally, the Pad Thai contained a lot more than just noodles, but the sauce was way sweeter than any of the typical Pad Thai tangy-ness—not that good.

My uncle is the best cook! Hey uncle LAY! I miss you guys and of course your food!!! Keep up the good and hard work that you guys are doing!

Food:

I have been going to this restaurant for approx 2 years at least once a week. About a month ago something changed. I have had meals there 4 times since and it just does not taste the same. I did notice a new staff, so maybe it was sold to new owners? Def a new cook in the back. They recently added sushi to their menu. Not my cup of tea so i cannot comment.
I wish they would bring the old staff back. I guess i will have to look for my new fav Thai place :(

Ok, so I've been here twice now, two days in a row (LOL) and I have to say, it's pretty good from what I've tried so far! I think the pad thai would be the real test, but I haven't ordered that yet. Super friendly service. I'm pretty polite too, so we were saying "thank you" back and forth to each other probably 3 times too many.

Interior is nicely decorated and clean. Typical Thai decorations and accents on the wall. I ordered the pineapple fried rice and toasted tortillas and both were very good! Tortillas were especially yummy! Crispy crunchy goodness! Fried rice had a nice curry flavor and the pineapples added just the right bit of sweetness! Today I had chicken larb, medium hot. My tongue is nicely burning right now lol. Their medium hot is actually medium hot and not an "American medium hot". Very nice flavors in the larb!

I will definitely be visiting this place often! Friendly service AND good food?! Yes please!
