Back in Newmarket! Saw the other reviews so off I went. I got the drunken noodles and steamed dumplings to go. I asked for a little extra heat on my noodles and they made it perfectly. A few tears and a stuffy nose is what I'm looking for lol Lots of chicken in there too. Dumplings were super fresh and the filling was delicious. Owner??? who waited on me was very nice. read more

Very generous portion for the price. We found the pad Thai a bit too sweet, other than that we liked it. The drunken noodle needed a bit more flavor- we didn't see any basil which is a bummer. Overall for Newmarket though it's good and tasty. The owners seemed friendly, food was ready as promised. Parking can be a bit sticky on Friday/weeknights. read more

Incredible food, friendly service. The sweet, sticky rice in the cute little basket sets this experience over the edge. Of note are the Tom kha gai soup, laarb, and the crispy salmon. Can't wait to try more dishes! read more

Shhhhh......they don't know what they have in town. From Hawaii to Manhattan I haven't eaten better Thai!!! One menu item in particular to judge a Thai place is the Larb Nua. If they have it try. It varies from place to place and this place has the absolute best I've ever had. Tom Yum gai, more please!!!! The yellow curry is so good I asked for and paid for more to go!! Lunch tomorrow and jealous employees smelling it, wanting it, craving it. Staff at the Leaf, friendly as can be. Quick and attentive. So as I said at the beginning......shhhh the town doesn't know what they. Keep it between us. read more

I really enjoy coming here to when I can. It's worth the nice drive for lunch. Love the pho and drunken noodle. The one thing I can't stand is the television constantly playing these weird car ads. It sounds like someone talking on speakerphone with a constant bad ring tone. Please get rid of the tv! read more

Ordered a takeout duck dish with minimal duck .Don't know what happened to the duck.Their larb is good

curry puff is so good. yum salad is great for those who love a little spice and bean thread noodle with veggies. food is flavorful and service from the heart. even though there is no lunch menu, the portions are enough for leftovers for tomorrow's lunch! I would say that the spice level is on the milder side, so ask for extra spice if that is your thing. really glad to have a healthy option for great Thai and Vietnamese (Pho) in a cozy spot here in Mule City! read more

The curry was very well spiced, not over spicy but lots of flavor. The duck was crispy and juicy. Super nice service! Ambiance was chill (family restaurant). read more

Food was generous and delicious. I had the Massaman curry with chicken. It was so flavorful and not too spicy.

Really tasty Thai!! Friendly staff nand good portions. Usually easy seating weeknights.

Fresh, authentic food. Highly recommend. Service is great, owners are great. Check it out

Owned and operated by a Thai-Lao family who settled in Newmarket more than four decades ago, this small Thai restaurant on Main Street serves classic Thai cuisine. The food is delicious and served in generous portions. If you are hungry and enjoy authentic Thai dishes, this restaurant is well worth a detour. Parking on the street or at the Newmarket Public Library, a short walk away. read more

After a long cold rainy day, the Tom Kha Gai soup and some steam dumplings were the perfect combination to warm me up. I enjoyed my bowl and dumplings. Sai (the owner/manager) was as animated as ever and a delightful and very gracious host. I love the food and company at Basil Leaf...I highly recommend it!!! read more

I've lived in Newmarket for nine years and somehow I've never left a review! Basil Leaf is solidly in our rotation of local restaurants and has always been consistent with excellent service and delicious food. It's one of my dad's favorite restaurants and always asks to eat here when he visits. read more

We loved loved loved this experience. The food is incredible, service excellent, ambiance casual but clean, and it isn't expensive. We ordered a range of dishes, from Golden Triangle, Fresh Spring Roll, Curry Puffs to Tom Kha Gai, and different entrees that were perfectly seasoned and tasty and everything was served piping hot. The owner was our server, and he was attentive and friendly, and everything was perfectly timed. Dinner selections included Chicken Laarb, Panang Curry Crispy Duck, and Green Curry. The Laarb was served with a fantastic basket of sweet sticky rice. Wish we had some sriracha for it. But everything was so good, we are looking forward to our next visit. We can't wait. It was that good. read more

5 Star food 3 Star atmosphere 4 Star service We really enjoyed our meals at Basil Leaf Thai, the crab rangoons were very good with great crab flavor, the Pad Thai was very tasty more sweet than spicy (which I prefer and fresh. The wide noodle dish (forgot the name) was also very good. Good portion sizes and quick service. I will be going back next time I am in the area! The only reason I didn't give five stars was due to the space itself, small and dated with probably only 5-6 tables. read more

Stopped here for a late lunch. Service was friendly, food was fantastic. Didn't give 5 stars because as another reviewer noted, it was somewhat small, not many tables could tell the solo diner next to us was listening to our conversation and also it was a little on the warm side inside. I was uncomfortable for the first 10 mins but then adjusted to the temp. Would absolutely order from again as take-out. Bathroom (ladies) was spotless. Also, please note no liquor license but the server said they are working on that. read more

My other reviews are semi-satire (I try to spruce it up but I don't lie about how the food is). But this restaurant genuinely blew me away. It is a homey little spot in downtown Newmarket. Let's start with the service. It deserves 5-stars alone. Our waitress and host were both extremely attentive, and it felt like they were our own personal wait staff. It was honestly so great and they make you feel like you're at home. The food was phenomenal. We got the Chicken Wings, Dumplings, Chicken Pad Thai and Combo Meat and Veggie Plate (I forgot the name). They were all delicious in their own right and it was undoubtedly one of the best Asian Restaurants I have ever been to. I will definitely return and I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone in the Newmarket/Durham area. read more

DELICIOUS food- in a hidden location. Very un-ostentatious establishment, but if you served the food on fine china- you would have thought it came from a high end restaurant. All of the food tastes freshly made- and always delights when I don't feel like cooking! They have something for every palate- as they do vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, AND carnivorous dishes! be careful when you ask for spicy thou- as they are not kidding around! Staff is super friendly also. I love over tipping here, as I feel it's EXTRA deserved! read more

I love ordering takeout from here! The Chicken Pad Thai is outstanding and makes for a quick and easy dinner.

One of the best Thai fast food (take-out) places in the Seacoast! Dishes are cooked in an open kitchen so you watch the entire process from a few feet away. Takeout was ready 7 minutes after ordering. The chef does great prep work and is very efficient. Prices were under $10/each. Dishes can be ordered 1 to 5 stars. 4 stars was VERY spicy!! Great Pad Thai (not too sugary...it's just right). One of the best Masamans I've had in years. The food is on the rich side. There are a few tables for dining in, however it can be a bit cramped there. read more

I love their fresh spring rolls and spicy tofu! Very friendly owners always smiling. I usually do take out but when I have dined in the service has been great! Highly recommend! read more

Excellent Thai food!! Everything I've ordered has been excellent! I highly recommend this restaurant

Their crab rangoons are the best I've everrrr had! Staff is very friendly and service is quick.

Sorry to say but pretty mediocre, overly salty dishes that are an Americanized version of thai. Prices are reasonable but with several authentic thai restaurants down the street in exeter, we will be passing this up after two tries as the food is just okay. Definately would not order the duck as it was super fatty and swimming in sauce, and the Pho was way overly salty. Rice was okay, maybe a tad bland. My friend had Pad Thai which was decent however very little chicken, mostly noodles but flavor was okay. All in all limited choices, not a place we would go out of our way to visit but if the other places were closed maybe. Not horrible, but could be better. Recall it being much better when it first opened and we tried it. New management according to other reviewers has not been for the better perhaps?! read more

The best Pho I've had! Delicious and so flavorful. My husband had the beef steak stir fry and it was equally as good. Will most definitely be back. read more

So I was saddened when my Dentist's office across the street closed... but a few week's later I saw a coming soon sign for a Thai place. Excellent! I went in over the weekend and they were slammed. I ordered the Pad Thai and Chicken Satay. It was an hour wait, which I gave them the benefit of the doubt due to it being their opening weekend... that is a good problem to have. I left my phone number and asked to be called and in an hour's time I received a call and went back. I went back in on Monday and placed another to go order for some Pho... since they were still very busy I opted for a to go as I would have loved to sit and enjoy my dinner there. I left my phone number again and asked to be called. They were not as busy as the weekend so I thought it would be smooth again. Sadly I never received a call... I did head over after 45 minutes and my food was waiting for me, but it would have been nice if I was called as I do not know how long it was waiting ... I know they are getting their feet and are a great addition but they need to get them fast as the restaurant record for closing / flipping / surviving in Newmarket is a rocky cliff and very unforgiving. "The Good" - The cashier and order taker was very polite and on her game. She was calm under pressure of opening weekend. The servers and staff in the back were busy, smiling but busy. - The Pad Thai was tasty, I did order the chicken Pad Thai and the chicken although good was lacking in number based on the amount of noodles. Yes I know it is a noodle dish and yes it still did not have a lot of chicken. - The Chicken Satay was very good. - The Crab Ragoon are good and on the big side. "The Meh" - The sitting area is tight quartered and if you are claustrophobic you may want to steer clear. If you do not mind hearing the older lady sitting at the table right next to you speak louder than normal - The Pho was OK, and not their specialty, this is a Thai place that has Pho not a Pho restaurant that also serves some Thai dishes. The broth has very little meat (again) in it and the portion needs to be upped in order to get return customers. The plum sauce and / or fish sauce was already mixed in. There were no sauces thrown in the to go portion but I did have some at home. "The Bad" - Nothing bad, they are a great addition and I hope they get their feet and up the meat portions. read more
