Thai Basil

Our take out during the snow storm was excellent!!! We got wonton soup which was excellent with the freshest veggies in it! A beautiful soup with bright orange julien carrots, bright green bok choy, 3 large wontons! We tried the thai dumplings, delicious and beautiful! 4 dumplings, with scallions lettuce to make it extra appetizing and visually gorgeous. Red curry with shrimp (5 shrimp cooked perfectly) regular spice was awesome, excellent flavors and beautiful fresh veggies within the dish. (I would probably get mild next time, regular was a little much for me). Drunken noodles with shrimp were excellent too and the portion was very normal sized and had 5 shrimp. I was hesitant ordering because the reviews were mixed...ours was delicious and big round of applause for the amazing staff

Stopped by Thai Basil in Ithaca for an early lunch on a chilly 20°F day. I ordered the Som Tum (Papaya Salad), Jungle Curry, and later switched to Green Curry. Here’s the breakdown: ✅ Papaya Salad: Fresh, vibrant, and flavorful—just the right balance of tanginess and spice. A great start to the meal! ❌ Jungle Curry: Unfortunately, this dish was far too salty for my taste. I sent it back, and the staff kindly replaced it with Green Curry. ✅ Green Curry: Creamy and aromatic with tender vegetables and chicken. It definitely redeemed the meal! However, the dining experience overall was a bit underwhelming. The restaurant atmosphere was uncomfortably cold, making it difficult to fully enjoy the meal. Additionally, the staff were not attentive, which left me feeling overlooked during my visi

Food was great, atmosphere is nice, server was very friendly and polite. However, my wife and I had to initiate every communication. I had to ask for a beer, we had to let him know when we were ready to order because he was at a back table on his phone. Expensive. I understand January is a slow time of year but when there are customers present any server should be attentive and alert. A little training by management in this regard would help. Overall the experience was good, no issues with the food quality or atmosphere.

We had great customer service and our pick up order was ready right on time. However, the portions are wildly small for the amount you pay. Spent $57 for whole orders of yellow curry, chicken pad thai, and wonton soup. No complaints with the yellow curry. The chicken pad thai tasted like seafood and was a side portion. Paid $19 for that. The wonton soup was maybe a cup total with two wontons in it. Paid $19 for that. Totally disappointing “meal” for us.

Authentic Thai food!!! Love this place! Had lobster pad Thai, wonderful!!! Iced chai tea, sticky rice with mango. All served hot, fresh and with a smile. Place is clean every intimate. The chief came out and bowed and spoke to us. Truly a hidden gem.
