Great lunch spot! Good price, the starter soup was tasty, portions great, and the spring roll was also tasty. Will be coming back.

Food was okay seriously not the best in town by a long shot. Kids ordered orange chicken, wife and I split the pad Thai. Pad Thai portion was a little small same with the orange chicken. The orange chicken seems a lot only because they used a big plate and spread it out. Kids liked it though. My few complaints is the portion could be bigger. But my main complaint is the drinks. Typically at a restaurant there are free refills. I came in on a hot day for dinner ordered a lemonade as did my son. My other son ordered ice tea. I had been working outside and was slamming down lemonades. Didn't realize until the waitress asked him if he wanted another ice tea. She said they are free refills. Then it hit me that the lemonade was not. Well that's what I get for crushing lemonade. Between the two of use our drinks cost about as much of our entire meal for 4. So yeah in a nut shell I think I am done with this place. Wasn't bad just won't come back. read more

I picked up Pad Thai take out for lunch. I found the sauce to be heavier than I care for. Not bad, just too heavy. I like Pad Thai with a light sauciness, not graviness. As a rule sauciness is much more appealing than graviness. I'll generally take sauciness over sassyness as well. And rudeness. Definitely sauciness over rudeness. read more

The best thai around. The Service is beyond all. Sassy is just so friendly and has a huge heart. She's honest and entices us with suggestions and variations. Never disappointed. Love this place so much. Food is very special & especially fantastic. read more

First time at this Thai Basil. Arrived at 7 on a Wednesday night and there were four other tables full. We were greeted right away and offered menus. We are Thai aficionados so we only took two minutes to decide: Larb, Beef Pad Thai and Yellow Curry Chicken - all pretty standard Thai food. Our server was pleasant and accommodating to allergies. She was also very quick. Our Larb arrived in about six minutes. It was seasoned well, with a good balance of sweet and fish sauces. We felt there was three times the amount of lettuce needed for the meat tho. The rest of our meal arrived 7-8 minutes later. The Curry Chicken was good but there was only about 2 ounces of chicken. Same for the Beef Pad Thai-very little beef. The service and flavor deserved five stars no doubt but they are skimping on costs and not doing these classic dishes justice. read more

I went here once several years ago and wasn't impressed, but recently I've recently gone back and I've been extremely impressed with the overall experience. I understand there was a change in management some time ago, and they are clearly doing things right. I've been back three times recently and each time my family all agreed it was excellent. I have dined at all the Thai Basil locations multiple times and feel that when you're craving Thai food, each of these restaurants is a consistent and reliable option. Based on my recent experiences with this Chandler location, I have to say it is the best of all the Thai Basil restaurants in the valley. BTW, I saw someone gave a one-star rating after trying their panang curry. I had it recently and there is no way any reasonable person could offer such a rating. I'm a curry-loving person, and it was up there with my favorite curry dishes I've ever had. Even if the person didn't like the particular way the sauce was prepared, everything they serve is made with a great deal of care and always with fresh ingredients--there's no way you can call it "vile" and give the restaurant one star. That's simply ridiculous. read more

5 R Cha Thai - Purple Sticky Rice with Mango - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Okay, so I think it's the actual thai basil plant that gives this amazing flavor and aroma. I love the food here, but I suggest you stick with their specialties like Garlic Eggplant or the many others. The service is nothing to write home about and either is the decor, but let's face it where else will you get these flavors or bright beautiful vegetables? And this is why the place is packed wall to wall by high noon, so get here early or really late. read more

As always I was completely satisfied with my meal. The staff are friendly and quick to provide you with everything you need to enjoy your meal. I love the Chicken noodle #18. Very clean and classy place without killing your budget. read more

I love Thai Basil one on west of ASU, so I gave it a try here. Nice server and quick to order for a take out.

5 R Cha Thai - Thai red curry. - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I have been to Thai Basil dozens of times over the last few years. I don't know why I haven't written a review, but I decided it is time. The service here is excellent. There are only a couple of servers that I've seen. The female server (I need to ask her name) is amazing. No matter how busy the restaurant is, she continues to provide attentive service. Always friendly, she greets us with a smile. She is usually there when we go and I feel immediately happy when I see her because I know our experience will be wonderful. On occasion there is a male server (I think his name is Christian) and he's excellent too. My boyfriend usually gets the roasted duck curry and he loves it. The duck is tender and the sauce flavorful. I have gotten the green curry with chicken which is always delicious. Sometimes I get the crab fried rice and that is always a hit. We will continue to come here for our favorite Thai food and excellent service. read more

Delicious Thai food to have in Chandler, nice ambience and great service..Must try it

Hands down best Thai food I've ever had! I've eaten there 3 times amazing every time!

Love this place so good!!!!! Can't wait to go back! Chicken curry was amazing. Waitress was great! A+

Ehhh, the baby corn is from a can and was cold, not the same temp as the rest of my lunch in the ginger chicken dish. I think maybe it was added as an afterthought? I ordered takeout around 2:30 and picked it up at 2:50. The young guy working was closing, literally locked the door behind me as I left and I think he was in a rush. I would've given 3 stars for the food but the way it was packed was terrible. The styrofoam was completely melted through causing my broth based soupy stir fry to leak all over my car on the 10 minute drive home. Super annoying that cleaning the car is going to cost more than the sub par lunch. Why does Thai Basil put a liquid based meal in a styrofoam flap take out box? read more

Here's the deal, I was torn between giving this place 4 or 5 stars and here's why. First, the portions have grown (and so has my waist) since I first started frequenting this place. Second, I (and any invited guests) are always spoiled by the staff; they're always helpful and prompt and the restaurant itself is clean and inviting. Last but not least, they are quick; even during a busy lunch hour, our food was out before you could make a dent in your Thai Iced Tea. Speaking of the Thai Iced Tea, it's sweet - just like I like it - yet you still get a hint of the tea with each sip (or slurp). Actually, I wish they would use a frosted mug and forgo the ice so I could enjoy the refreshing beverage down to the last drop, instead of being greeted with a diluted concoction at the end of my meal. The Papaya salad is fresh and light, and ordering it at a medium spice will initially give you a nice kick in the mouth without melting your face off. The Ginger stir fry plate has a nice taste, and I would definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for a vegetable and rice plate. The Pad Thai is good, but one thing I found is that the noodles were a bit too soggy - it would've been nice if they were just a tad more firm, although I must commend the kitchen for fully cooking the shrimp as I've been to some Thai places where the shrimp arrive a bit undercooked. So is this the best Thai food I've ever had? No, but this is a case where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts and the restaurant is definitely on my short list of good Thai places in my area. Ultimately, the combination of the service, accommodations, and food is why I gave it a full five stars. You'll also enjoy it if you're a big KYOT 95.5 fan since they're usually playing smooth jazz renditions of Outkast's 'I like the way you move'. :) If you plan on checking it out, I would recommend dropping by in the evening & early in the week as the restaurant usually has only 2 or 3 patrons enjoying a quiet dinner. Lunch hours are usually busy as Intel's main campus is only a stone's throw away. read more

Since moving to Arizona almost three years ago, I have been searching and searching for a place to get even near my favorite Thai restaurant ever...Penny's in Chicago. Found it. Other than the fact that I received both chicken AND tofu in my specifically ordered chicken only, I am getting so close to my old Chicago favorite. The pad Thai was made exactly as spicy as I wanted and the take out was ready in precisely four minutes. Ahhh. Delish! And...one minute down the road from my house! read more

Really not bad. Relatively fair priced too. Surely not over populated. Thai tea was real good. Food was alright too, maybe a little generic for my taste. I kind of got feeling that no matter what you order it would taste same. Never the less honest 4 *. Surely nice joint. "I like" Eugene read more

I learned not to order on yelp during lunch time at this restaurant today. I ordered 2 fried rice and came after 5 minutes but the orders on Yelp were not physically put in their system yet. The reason is the tablet that they used was out of battery. Also the restaurant seemed to be too busy so they may not even pay attention to the tablet. The portions of the 2 orders do not look consistent. Maybe this happens as chicken may cost more than tofu so I have less fried rice on the chicken order. read more

5 R Cha Thai - Thai Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Thai Basil has an cozy indoor dining area and a modest outdoor dining area. The place was beautifuI, neat and clean. I found the inside of the restaurant a bit over done with their ornaments, especially with the small statues all placed around their bar near the cash register, but the picture frames with the elephants and buddhas were tastefully placed around the dining tables. The bamboo blinds were a very good addition to the ambiance. I especially liked the color of the tables and chairs, a kind of warm brown.... The dishes took long to arrive, but probably because there were a lot of us who were ordering. The waitress did her job well and was very informative on what dishes we should try next. The refill of our glasses were very prompt and even early...my glass was only three-fourths full and she would come and refill it right away. The waitress was always smiling and in good spirits. Great service. We ordered 4 dishes - spicy noodles, chow mien, Thai basil, and silver noodles. They were all pretty good and tasty! I liked the spicy noodles the best! It had a light savory sauce and the saltiness was just right. The silver noodles with black bean sauce was a bit salty for me but it was delicious all the same. Thai basil was served with rice, it was also good but I'm not very fond of anise flavor. We had the Thai Basil in mild and we later found out it was better if it were a lot more spicier. The chow mien was delightful, it was my second favorite among the four. It had a thick spicy sauce and crunchy vegetables. All the dishes with their noodles and vegetables were cooked just right and their noodles were a bit chewy at first but when it cooled down a bit, it was soft and yummy...I like mine chewy though. =) Every thing really smelled good! It was a great dining experience. I loved the hospitality mints...they were soft and melted in your mouth. read more

Never had a bad meal at any Thai Basil, but especially this one on the corner of Rural and Chandler. I usually do take-out, but I have eaten in as well. The take-out experience has always been quick & easy - my order has always been waiting for me when I walked in. Nice, quiet dining in experience - soft music, some cool asian stuff to look at. Not usually very crowded - only real traffic seems to be the steady stream of people coming in to pick up to go orders. The curry dishes are delicious, and served in generous portions (especially when ordered for take-out). Courteous service & quality food. The spice factor seems a little inconsistent. They ask you how spicy you want it - I tell them the same thing every time, and sometimes it's really spicy and sometimes not so much. My only real complaint - the hours. They close everyday between lunch and dinner from 4-5pm, which somehow always seems to be when the craving strikes. And they're closed on Sundays. read more

Very mediocre food. Watery curry, although vegetables nicely done. Staff was prompt however I was the only patron in the restaurant. There were three staff members who sat at a table and talked the whole time I ate and never once asked if I needed anything, a drink etc., they just seemed to want to hustle me out of there despite the fact that I was there at 3 o'clock and they didn't close until four. I texted my mom and asked her if she wanted me to bring her something and she said to order whatever. I ordered two dishes- green curry and Tom kha, and the waitress looked at me and said "are you sure? That is a LOT of food". And she certainly didn't say it in the nicest way. All said and done I paid $25 for extremely average food, promptly, but rudely served. There is an awesome Japanese restaurant two doors down however, I think I will stick with that from now on. read more

This place is the bomb. I've been to another location, and both were good. First i ordered the spicy noodles, and today I had the yellow curry. This place is PACKED during lunch. Remember to get in before 12 or else you'd be waiting for seats. read more

I've never actually eaten in the restaurant so this review is based solely on the food. I live fairly close to Thai Basil and always pass it on my way to Trader Joe's. I finally decided to drop in and order something to go. The lady at the counter was really nice and she gave me delish iced tea while I waited, free of charge. The place, itself, was clean and very quaint. There were about 3 tables being occupied. My food was ready in about 10 minutes. I took one smell of the food and I raced home to eat! I ordered the masaman curry with tofu and brown rice. They give you heafty portions...I had enough for the next two days! The curry was so good. The brown rice mixed in made it even better. It's not the best masaman I've ever had (I'm from Cali and I'm a snob, ok?) but it was very good. This is my new go to spot for thai. read more

Lackluster at best. The papaya salad had very little papaya and way more carrot and lettuce with a watery dressing that was way too sugary sweet and way too much of it. Their signature dish, Thai Basil, was one of the most boring plates I've ever laid eyes on let alone eaten. The primary flavor of the sauce it was served just reminded me of canned sweet and sour sauce with fish sauce thrown in for good measure. Again too sweet also. The green curry wasn't bad at all, but then again it's hard to screw up coconut milk and curry for me. It always tastes good. Too much sugar probably here also, but for some reason it seemed to work since this one was a bit more spicy than the others. I wouldn't get excited about this dish still, but it at least wasn't a complete disappointment like the others. The service was unfulfilling also. The young man was pleasant and was trying his best to solely manage the entire restaurant (about 8 tables on a Saturday lunch) and was doing an okay job at it. But he (or the kitchen, not sure) apparently switched our requests on which dish was spicy or mild as it came opposite of what we requested. Overall I can't believe this place gets any decent reviews. A complete Yelp let down here. Maybe it was an off day? Maybe the cooks in the back were filling in for the regular chefs? Maybe you should avoid a Saturday lunch here? The only thing I'm sure of is I'm completely unmotivated to go back or recommend it. read more

I did a double-take when I saw the Thai Basil sign go up in a small strip mall near my neighborhood. Could this really be the same Thai Basil that make my mouth water whenever I drive by it in Tempe?! Sure enough, the brand has extended its reach to Chandler and brought its delicious food, cozy atmosphere and excellent service along for the ride. I enjoy many of their dishes but my favorite is their Pad Thai. Unlike the gummy, overly-salty versions at other restaurants, this dish at Thai Basil maintains a delicate balance of sweet and spicy, with a nice peanut flavor. (One of my favorite things about Thai Basil is their ability to vary the "heat" so that both my husband and I can enjoy our dishes just the way we like them.) The peanut curry is also delicious. The vegetables are always bright, fresh and cooked minimally to convey a nice crunch. The service here is excellent, whether for takeout or dine in. I would recommend it to anybody who loves great Thai food! read more

Tucked in a quite plaza In Chandler AZ, is an un-assuming, little Thai restaurant with BIG flavor. Despite the lack-luster curb appeal from the outside, the inside is quaint and clean. Get things started with some spring rolls. The sauce isn't mind blowing, but those 6 dainty morsels of fried goodness have got some real flavors goin on. (especially when dipped in your curry) I recommend their signature dish, "Thai Basil," for those who haven't been here before. I prefer an extra spicy, KANG-DANG (red curry): Your choice of meat, simmered in coconut milk with bamboo shoots, bell pepper, broccoli, carrots, green beans and Thai basil, Served with jasmine rice. I will say, some menu items are hit and miss. So don't judge this place based on ONE dish you don't like. (You can find something you aren't going to like on every menu across the country). Friendly service, fresh ingredients, and an authentic "je ne sais quoi," earn Thai Basil 4 stars. "I'm a fan." Eat well, Live well, and surround yourselves with ones who do. - Cheers read more

I have been saving my 100th review for my favorite restaurant of all time. We found Thai Basil over a year ago now and have been loyal customers, going at least once a week and sometimes more than that, since last July. Everyone who works here is super friendly, and they know us now and know what we like to order by heart. We just walk in now and they see us and say "Spicy noodle, tofu, hot, right?" Its pretty great having a place that knows my regular order. I have tried most of the menu items. The garlic eggplant is also pretty great. The thai basil is also amazing. I have generally liked everything I have had here except the curry. I never have had a good curry experience. Both of the times I ordered it I ended up with long black hairs in it (which they quickly replaced with a new order) but I just wasn't a fan. Maybe it's because of the coconut milk and it makes it too sweet. The spring rolls are also the best here out of every spring roll I have had anywhere. Before I went vegan again last year we also got the fried banana ice cream pretty often. That is pretty amazing. If you eat dairy, you have to try it at least once. Thai Basil is one of our regular spots to eat out, and we hope its here to stay for many more years to come. I don't know what I would do without my spicy noodles!!! read more

My family and friends eat here quite often. The place is clean, serene decor and quality service. I have tried almost everything a few times. I can say nothing I have tried has ever let me down. I usually do chicken our tofu. I haven't had any beef here. I must say I love the Curry with baby eggplant and vegetables. It is beautifully presented and colors are fabulous. My palate flushes and wants more and more.. I have tried all the different Curries Red Green and Yellow~ love them all and they are good at getting your mild medium or hot preference correct. I also like the small jar of extra pepper spice on the tables in case one wants to really spice it up. read more

Thai Basil in Chandler is in a beautifully decorated space in the strip mall, at the southeast corner of Chandler Boulevard and Rural Road. The food we had there was very tasty, quite a bit lighter/less starchy than my favorite Thai place (Swaddee Thai, which is, incidentally, just a mile up the street at Ray Road and Rural Road). The lunch special I tried was chicken noodles, while my husband had the Thai Basil signature dish with beef. Both specials came with a bowl of delicately flavored soup which was a welcome change from Swaddee, which offers a salad instead. The chicken noodles dish surprised me in its bright, homey chicken broth flavor. The dish was very comforting, packed with lots of different types of vegetables and moist chicken that tasted as though it had been brined before cooking. It was not made with the wide flat rice noodles I was anticipating, however. It came with a thicker type of noodle I haven't seen in most Thai restaurants. My husband's Thai Basil was not quite as spicy as I was expecting, considering we ordered it Thai hot, but it was delicious nonetheless. It was reminiscent of a stir fry, with fresh, bright flavors and crisp veggies. The dish did not come with much sauce, so eating it with rice was a bit difficult. I also ordered a Thai iced tea, which was wonderfully cool and refreshingly strong in flavor. None of that weak, watered down tasting Thai iced tea here! Overall I would recommend Thai Basil. The restaurant is clean and pretty, the servers are friendly and efficient, and the prices are low for a lovely lunch or dinner special. Slightly less expensive than Swaddee Thai, but both restaurants offer such a unique interpretation of their signature dishes that it is worth it to frequent both. read more

OMG. I am new to AZ and this was my first Thai experience in the Valley. Might I add it was most enjoyable. The food was excellent. The service attentive. The prices reasonable. The atmosphere cozy.

This place was so awesome! Great food and great service... I ordered an appetizer -- egg rolls. I was very surprised at how many were in the order. Usually there are 3 or 4 but this had around 6 or so and they were amazing.. Nice and flaky and the sauce was very good. I ordered the spicy noodles in a medium spice level. I thought it was perfect and my family ordered different dishes as well that were super. The service was excellent ! read more

Came here for lunch. The lunch menu is reasonably priced for the amount of food you receive. The service was both prompt and very polite. The lunch menu offer 20 choices of base menu items and then you add protein and choose how hot you like it. As a fan of spicy food medium is warm enough to notice the heat but to still enjoy the flavors. We will return. read more

$6.95 for lunch special I ordered the ginger chicken special. It was plenty to share between 2 people. Everything was really good. It came with a small spring roll and slice of orange. We arrived around 1130am and just missed the "Intel" lunch rush. My friend ordered yellow curry and enjoyed it as well. She even had enough to take home for dinner. Next time we're splitting an entree. This was my first time here and I think I'll be back to try the other dishes. read more

Good! The long list of veggies in each of their curries was exciting to see :) In addition to the traditional green beans, beansprouts, shoots, broccoli and carrots, their green curry also had egg plant and red bell pepper. Albiet, there were a lot less of these veggies, but they were great additions. I got mine with beef which was well done and in pretty thick slices which I enjoyed. The curry itself wasnt bad; it was less creamy than I prefer which I think hurt it a little in the flavor as the usual coconut milkyness that makes green curry so amazing was a bit muted. That said, I still really enjoyed my meal and our party of 7 had no complaints in the time we were there. Also, shoutout to our server who managed to maintain the fully seated resturaunt but still took great care of our table and offered helpful menu suggestions for those not sure about their order. Presentation was also very nice and made for some pretty pics ;) read more
