Maura Denise

The food was delicious! We had a grilled chicken salad, Thai Salmon salad, and fresh spring rolls. Everything was fine until the bill. I paid the bill with my debt card. I prefer to leave tips in cash. My mom left the tip on the table. Whenever I sign my receipt I put a line through the tip and write in the total bill amount. I signed the receipt and handed it back to the waiter who looks at the receipt and ask about a tip. I simply told her it was on the table. I did not like being asked about a tip as if I made a mistake.

Asif Rehmani

A good decent Thai restaurant. Kind of pricey for the quantity served.

First time trying this place. Absolutely amazing experience and beyond delicious food! We had salmon salad and shrimp garlic and peppers entree and asked them to make it spicy and it was so flavorful! All 3 of us loved the food. Servers were also very friendly. Will definitely be returning soon.

Ordinary Asian

Great authentic thai restaurant. I’ve eaten here many times with my coworkers, can’t believe I haven’t left a review. The service is always friendly. My favorite here is the Green Basil Duck, the duck skin is crispy but the meat is juicy and tender, and the sauce is just the perfect amount of spiciness, you can taste the fresh ingredients in it. Other favorite dishes of course are the pad woon sen and pad see eiw, and chicken satay. Sometimes we just come to eat the thai sampler appetizer and just sit on the bar and try their mix cocktails. The environment’s just perfect for a nice relaxing lunch/dinner.

Fara M (Marco Polo)

One of the best food ever loved the food and service was great. You have to try to see what I mean ♥️ steamed sea bass and the salad was the best

Gabriel Gonzalez

Great place, great food. Green Basil has become a favorite place to eat at. We’ll continue coming back!

Amruta Kudale

I loved the food and the hospitality of the staff. We had ordered the Pad see eiw with tofu noodles and the ginger chicken. Their fried Banana ice cream dessert is a must try. Will be visiting them soon. 🙂

Very good Thai restaurant. All dishes can be made gluten free. Good portion sizes. Great spicy flavor no matter the heat level you like. Worth a try if you’re in the area.

Pamas Pooprasert (pamassp)

Great and authentic Thai food! Everything was delicious and the server is super friendly. Love everything here, we order soft shell crab with pepper sauce, mmm so yummy! It comes with its own fried rice, the best! My favorite so far! And fish cake was very good too!! Very recommended!!
