I was surprised to see the same owners of Thai Basil Express in Dublin Ulferts also owns this restaurant! Basil Delight adds "Malay" dishes to the Thai favorites of Thai Basil Express. Only reason why I did not give 5 stars is due to the wait time, other than that the food is amazing!!! read more

One of the best thai resto if not the best! All we ordered are so tasty- tom kha, Chicken in a akewers, seafood rice!

3.5 stars Pretty good tasting Malaysian food...I have been to Kuala Lumpur, Melaka and Singapore and had family living in Malaysia so I know how the food should taste. First off their fryer was out of service due to a change in oil?? I have never heard of that in a restaurant. That left us without an option to order anything fried which was one of the reasons I chose restaurant to try their fish. We ordered rendeng beef, penang curry, char kwey teow noodles, and crab shrimp fried rice. The flavors were decent but there was something missing in taste...maybe just a bit watered down? Food came out fast..But what was very disappointing was that the rendeng beef was cold and sauce lukewarm. I could tell that they previously cooked the beef and threw on sauce over it but did not heat the dish all the way through. The penang curry was runny in consistency and for me, penang curry is usually the thicker one out of all curries... May just be my preference. A little greasy, layer of orange lined the plate for fried rice. 3.5 stars but rounding up bc Pandemic times r tough for a restaurant. The tables are clean with some spray on the table, I'm assuming alcohol or disinfectant. Bathroom was well maintained as well. Smaller inside and pretty close next to next table inside. If I'm in the area I may come back but hope they fix the temperature of dishes to make sure they come out hot. read more

See all

Super clean establishment. The person who I believe is the manager (lady with the short hair) is always so nice! Customer service is always great. They always ask about my daughter & have a pretty good memory of what we usually order. Fried rice tastes so much better than Thai basil. They are always quick to complete orders even when busy. Overall pleasant experience every time! read more

We have discovered a new place for Thai and Malay foods. So wonderful. We went for lunch and the portion were bigger than expected. Penang Nasi Lemak and Melacca Cauliflower were delectable. It came with a full bowl of rice. Definitely going back. read more

I went to pick up my food after i ordered it and the lady told me it wasnt done yet so i told her ill pay when its done and waited. The entire time i was there the older lady started staring me down menacingly almost trying to tell me how ridiculous it was that i wanted to wait to pay, she just stood there making faces. After a few minutes she got in my face about it and told me that the owner of the restaurant was in china so she was running the show. Ive never felt so pressured to do something from a place I'm spending my money at. Not coming back the food was good, but the lady in the all black outfit was not. P.s their food portions have significantly gone down they are charging more and giving less food for example their roti and curry dish included potatoes and now it doesn't anymore and they give you half of the curry you used to get it almost looked like one of those free dipping sauces. What a mess! read more

Food was really bad. I been to a lot of thai restaurants in the bay area and never leave any comment on yelp, this means its really bad as in worst. we ordered pad thai, cashew chicken, thai fried rice & chicken wings as appetizer, all of these items tasted the same. It appears to me that they use the same kind of sauce for everything. Come on if you think you will make money just because u have a restaurant PLEASE make sure you stand behind your product otherwise your business will closed down. This is the wost thai ive ever tasted. Waste of money, waste of time, do not come in here. read more

Amazing food. Great service. If you're looking for Thai or Malay food ( or want to try something new) you will not be disappointed. The food was fantastic and the service was memorable. read more

Great food but the only complaint is that the "Thai Spicy" wasn't that spicy when I ordered it. Hopefully it was just a mistake and it'll be spicier next time. read more

This place is really good with good service. If Thailand food is a 10, they are a solid 8-9. We ordered: - Tom Yum (Good flavor, not too much salt) - Deep fried bass stir fried in sauce (WOW! Amazing!) - Green curry (Good) - Pad Kee Mao (Good) - Crab fried rice (Good - May appear bland but eat it on a clean palette and you can taste the good flavor) - Sticky Rice (Good) We will go back. Very solid Good Thai food. Great service as well. read more

So far, everything has been amazing. It is clear that this is artfully made, authentic recipes. many fresh, vibrant flavors that are lacking in many other restaurants! I really love the coconut rice, and a certain spicy bamboo dish. even the mixed vegetables were amazingly flavorful! read more

My partner and I absolutely love Basil Delight! We live close by and always look at each other and say "thai?" when we're hungry and this is what we're talking about. I love their ambiance as well. During COVID, their service is the same and it's been amazing. We will continue coming to Basil Delight :) read more

The service was fast and courteous. Food was fresh and delicious. I would definitely come back again.

The online order and curbside pick up was very helpful during COVID. Portions are large despite the higher than average prices for Thai food. My favorite dish here is the pineapple fried rice and yellow curry. read more

The best Thai food I have had! Shrimp Pad Thai, green curry fried rice and Panang Curry were ALL excellent. read more

Basil Delight - Thai Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Super authentic Thai food! Very friendly and efficient staff too! Service is excellent! Papaya salad is very fried! Larb (chicken) healthy and perfect with steamed rice! Fish cake is my favorite! Dessert - I loved both the sweet sticky rice and black sticky rice! Portion is good to share! read more

The food here was average. Not too bad but I've had better Thai food. We ordered Veg Pad Kee Mow, Red Kari, and a Thai Tea. The pad kee mow had good flavor but it had too many vegetables. I would've preferred an equal balance of veggies and noodles. The Red Kari was flavorful and had a good balance of spice and taste. The Thai tea was also decent just a bit sweet for my taste. For dessert, we got the fried banana with ice cream. Dessert was pretty average as well. The service compensated for the average food. The servers were really friendly and the food came quickly after we ordered. I would maybe go back if I'm in the area. read more

I am so sad that I have to write this update. I wrote them a very good review just a couple of months ago. However, I have to say that the quality and service has dropped a lot. The last few times the food didn't taste how it usually did. We have brought so many people here and this time we also came with our friends. They brought 3 of the 5 items we ordered and we waited for our whole order to come before eating. However, after 20 mins we decided to start since the food was getting cold. We were almost done with those items when our last two items came after having to go up to them and asking them for our missing items. How are we supposed to eat our Kari without rice. It doesn't make sense to bring rice or noodles when the main dishes haven't arrived. My husband didn't get water until we were done eating after asking so many times. My friend didn't get her Thai iced tea until the end of the meal. My husband ordered Thai iced tea with extra milk but got the same as my friend. When he told the server this her response was "it already comes with extra milk" but when my husband stated he always gets it that way and it wasn't like that she brought him another cup of milk to mix in himself in a cup full of tea. The basil fried rice had huge chunks of veggies barely any rice. Portions have also gotten smaller. The staff was rude. Sad to say it was a huge disappointment. The first time these things happened we gave them the benefit of the doubt that it was an off day but after 3 bad experiences I'm sad to say this place has gone from a family favorite to a "never going back". read more

Excellent food. Excellent service (although I ordered takeout). Decent prices. The place also looked very clean. I would absolutely go back. No complaints on my first visit. read more

Amazing restaurant and service. We recently ordered food from them for a birthday party. They have special options ( trays) for large orders and boy we were not disappointed. Amazing food and huge quantity. Everyone in our party loved it plus to top of it all it was "Halal". I highly recommend Basil Delight. read more

There was no line on Saturday lunch. We ordered Ho Kien Mie Goreng and Spicy Chicken Wings. The portion was nice and the taste was not bad as well. read more

I am completely obsessed with the yellow chicken curry... I order it at least once a week for lunch... they are so fast with call in orders it makes it super convenient to pick up and go back to work quickly. They probably recognize me by now I come so often... haha read more

Found this little spot by accident one night when trying to find another restaurant in the same shipping center. We have been coming here ever since. Food is delicious. Customer service is amazing. Will continue to come back when in the area. read more

Food is good but bad customer service. They forget multiple times what I order in the same order. They keep on bring wrong meal for 3 times.

Charged wrong. Ordered brown rice given white & charged for brown. Its not a dollar's thing but a question of correct order correct charge & faith of customers read more

Their Pad Kee Mow is DELICLOUS!!!!!! That's all I had and all I needed lol I will def be back!

I came here to pick up takeout. I ordered the pad Thai with only chicken and it tasted sooo good. I'm very picky when it come to my pad Thai and they met my expectations. I will definitely be coming back. I also really loved the portion. It was just enough for one person. Can't wait to come back and try more items. read more

2nd visit, yes, way too much salt, way too salty for many of the stir fry noodles on the menu. All the Penang noodles are a lot more American Thai then Malaysian read more

Quickly ran in to try the Panang Curry and Pineapple Fried rice. Lovely ladies that worked there and the food was good. The pineapple fried rice had a lot of flavor and wasn't short on chicken. The panang curry was flavored well, but it was not the best I've had in NorCal. Overall, it is worth coming to! read more

Excited to try this new Thai place that also has some Malay dishes, only to be very disappointed at my first visit. Ordered the "Asam Laksa" (thinking it would be like the laksa with coconut milk I usually eat at Malay/Singaporean restaurants), it came out looking ok. At least the soup was hot, but there was nothing in there worth eating, have I not added shrimps (3 small shrimps for extra +$2.50). There is no protein, except shredded salty fish (not white fish) which how they make the broth & only HALF hardboiled egg too, although the menu says it comes with a boiled egg. The description on the menu says it comes with rice noodle, but it was this round off-white noodle & it wasn't much of it. The noodle wasn't fresh, it was all cut-off (not lengthy) & tasted bland. The rests were some cucumber, pineapple & red onion pieces. Overall, the broth just tasted sour & salty. The lady told me it will be fishy, but I wasn't disappointed because of that. What would you expect from fish broth? Total check was $13.60 & I wasn't full at all. In fact, I regretted eating it because I felt like I drank a lot of sodium (salty soup). If I was the owner, either I would change this to regular laksa noodle with coconut milk or DELETE it from the menu. I would NEVER eat this Asam Laksa dish ever again, even if they gave me for FREE. I wish I sent the dish back & ordered something else or get my money back. The most horrible lunch I've ever had! 2 stars, instead of 1, because good service, nice & clean restaurant. You have been WARNED!! DO NOT order Asam Laksa unless you like drinking salty sour soup. read more

We ordered typical malay dishes like beef rangdan, basil shrimp and roti with curry dipping sauce as starter. First of all malay roti is light and flaky not like indian roti which is what this restaurant serves. The beef rangdan does not have enough coconut milk and could cook it down even more till the meat really soften. The shrimp is o.k but nothing special. read more

Has gone bad since COVID started my favorite dish has changed. The fish was changed to pollack which was dry and no longer tender hard like super overcooked and not fresh at all. Other items seems to remain the same but not worth going since my fave is no longer the same. read more

First time trying Basil Delight. I went in and ordered K3 Green Curry with Chicken extra spicy for take out. My order came out in 10 minutes and I was on my way home. Super delicious, will order again! read more

Wow my friend and I really love this place and love the smelling of food cooking! We will come back again definitely!

I can't eat out at many places as I am on a restricted diet due to flour and sugar allergy. This place has ample options. They steam and reduce oil upon request and everything is very fresh and tasty! Lots of healthy options and I had my open house catered and everyone was impressed w crab Rangoon and chicken satay dishes! You have to taste to believe it. read more

I must say that I was going to give this place five stars after I first visited, but had to lower the rating after the second or third time visiting. First time, it was pretty new and the customer service was great. Really friendly and accommodating to kids. They were very thoughtful in giving extra plastic for the leftovers, so they wouldn't spill on the way home. Everything we ordered from the pad see ew to the pineapple fried rice was delicious. Panang had a great flavor and not runny. Roti was crispy on the outside and chewy inside, was filling even though it didn't seem that big of a portion. Really liked it because it wasn't just air like at other places. Last time, I called an order in. The young girl who answered was so flustered at first that she put me on hold then asked me to call back. When I did call back, she kept rushing me and sounded super annoyed. What really got to me was that when I came in to pick it up, they were not busy and she was just on her personal phone. Please fix or train customer service for phone orders. Also tried the calamari with kangkong, but it just had regular spinach instead of the kangkong and the calamari had too much breading. Waste of money, so order something else. You should try out this place and see which dishes you prefer. read more

This is the best halal Thai food in the bay area. The owners are friendly, portions are big and they have a lot of variety. They are also vegetarian friendly, and can make accommodations. Must try the hokken Mei goreng. Their curries are also very good. So glad this place is in the tri Valley! read more

Best halal food in the bay area! Forget Darda or any other place! Everything is so good here! 100% HALAL

Delicious everything! Got the pineapple fried rice, just right, not too sweet; rendang beef - flavorful and tender; char kway teo beef perfect; pla rad Prik is crispy and spicy mild; red curry beef so good! This is a good new Thai restaurant where the food is just right! read more

We had the Tom Yum Goon and seafood were ok. Their Basil fried rice was the best! The service is great and always busy during meal time.
