Ordered the Basil stir fry and Pad Thai. It was the best Thai food I've had in a long time! Every bite packed flavor. Definitely will be back again!

Hot Basil is an excellent Thai restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and incredible flavors. We tried the green pork curry, perfectly spicy and creamy; the pineapple chicken with rice, sweet and tropical; and the coconut soup with a spicy “pikkk” kick, rich and comforting. Everything was beautifully served and full of authentic flavor. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!

A fabulous gem in West Hartford. The food was delicious, packed with flavor in every bite. The crispy chicken wings and spring rolls were amazing, perfectly cooked and full of yumminess. Drunken Noodles were the best I have ever tasted. The cashew chicken stir fry was satisfying and delicious. Mango sticky rice was the perfect ending to on outstanding meal.

My friend suggested this place for lunch about a month back and it's pricey but I would go back, preferably to dine in the next time. Since it was our first time we ordered a few things to share on the go. Beef satay which was good with a nice kick of flavor. There were between 5 or 6 of them and they were a good size. The shrimp dumplings and the vegetable dumplings were fresh and good and my friend preferred them more than I did but I'm not a dumpling person. I did try the vegetable dumplings and I did like them because the filling was awesome and had a nice crunch to them. For an entree we had the Hot Basil stir fry with beef, magnificent flavor, freshness, and seasonings. Nice kick of heat without being over powering. I would reorder that in a heartbeat.
