    Hibachi Filet Mignon

    The food was amazing!!! I grabbed to-go and received excellent service!!! The sushi was pretty amazing says my son. I had ordered steak hibachi and man o man..... it was pretty dag on good. It was so cute in there, definitely a vibe. We went during lunch so it was not busy at all. Must try!!!!

    Lamb chops! Wonderful. Must try. A staple of downtown Brunswick.

    We have been coming here for 10 years and love the atmosphere and food. T.C., the owner, does a lot of the cooking and visits with us every time he can.

    Seafood, yellow curry

    The atmosphere here is very laid back. We had a group of 10 and our waiter did a amazing job. We really wanted to try the fried oyster roll, but they were out of oysters. So we started with the spider roll that had soft shell crab inside. The roll was really good. It was a hard decision between the Pad Thai or the Thai Curry. So I went with the Thai Curry and it was full of favor.

    Beef Pho, seared tuna, crispy spring rolls, steamed dumplings

    Best pho ever. I go to Basil and want to eat something else but always go back to the beef Pho!!! Even on a hot night I need it! My hubby had pork. Both meals delicious!

    Thai Fried Rice
    Casey S.

    Went here early on a Friday evening with a party of 12. Nice ambiance, though the seating left something to be desired with regard to comfort. Had a spicy tuna roll as an appetizer, which was mediocre (Fancy Q on the island is much better). Did the Thai fried rice as my main course, which was good, but not great--it wasn't the most flavorful, though the pineapple was somewhat unique. While the owner or manager (not sure which) checked on us a few times and provided free shots for one member of the party who was celebrating a birthday, overall, the service was extremely slow, and it took almost an hour just to get our checks, which our server had to redo multiple times in order to ensure each individual's check was correct. In fact, the service was so slow that another party came in well after we were seated, ate their meal, departed, their table was cleaned, and another party seated and served at that table before we were done. While I'm sure large parties aren't the easiest to deal with, especially with separate checks, it felt excessive to be stuck in the restaurant for some 2 hours and 45 minutes for a simple meal (and we didn't even have dessert!). While I might give this place another shot, it would not be high on my list of local eateries.

    We were party and was our 1st time going there. The restaurant looks very nice great ambiance. We were seated quickly. Server very friendly and very knowledgeable. Food was delicious. Definitely will come back.

    Stir Fried Vegetables with Tofu
    RabbiWendy S.

    Comfortable seating in a surprisingly large space with a bar. Friendly and attentive service with a smile. Our meal was very hot and fresh: my vegetable stir fry with tofu was perfectly cooked so the veggies were colorful and firm, and my spring rolls were super crisp; Hubby's pad Thai was a generous portion and not too sweet, which is rare for pad Thai. Highly recommend!

    Thai food in the Golden Isles is hard to come by. Thankfully, there is this place! In the gentrifying downtown area of Brunswick is where you'll find this hot spot. Open everyday but Monday, this is a great option. The wine list is impressive. I enjoyed a glass of Estancia from Paso Robles , CA on my first visit. For a mere $9! There are also cocktails and non alcoholic beverages as well. My husband had the Tom Yum. He rated it a 5/5 and was very happy. He got the fried rice and asked for a spice level of 7. It was pleasantly spicy. Another 5/5. He plans to do a 9, next time. We are spicy eaters! I got the Pad Thai. It was perfect except in all ways except it was the blandest Thai I've ever had. I did get chili flakes and poured a ton on. Still nothing. I added the chili garlic sauce after that which gave it heat but not quite right for Pad Thai. I plan to ask for basil in my Thai next time and that should do it. If you know, like really *know* Thai food, I highly recommend talking to you server. We had a fabulous server who when I go back, I know what to ask for exactly in terms of spice. I strongly recommend this gem no matter your experience with Thai food. We did not try the sushi but I'm confident it's good too. You'll be happy you stopped in when you're in town next! See website for hours and location. The menu is not current as of 12/2021 but pretty close. Also, if the owner is reading this - it's Philly not 'Phili' roll. My Philadelphia born husband begs you to fix that. ;)

    Let's start off with my fiancée's prompt take on this restaurant "I'm excited, excited to leave." This was a super good and super bad experience all at once. We were a bit deceived by the name "Basil", it gave off as Italian feel. We went with it and like the decor and feel of the interior. We were seated quickly and the waiter took our drink order. We waited for his return but he apologized. We received our appetizers and waited again, this time for drinks. Here's where it gets ridiculous. I ordered squid salad (10.95) and he ordered seaweed salad (7.95). The look on my face said it all, IT WAS ONE BITE ON A PLATE!! The words "hell no" left my lips. At least our drinks arrived soon after, I needed one. We also got the steamed dumplings that were very good. I ordered the coconut soup and he ordered the spicy tuna roll. My soup was amazing with fresh veggies and tofu. His tuna roll was a bit odd with jalapeños. It was like the Mexican version of a spicy tuna roll. Once we got the bill ($68 with tip for LUNCH) we were out. We really debated on 2 stars because we're are NEVER going back. 3 stars for the great soup, drinks and dumplings. Overall....try at your own risk and money just DO NOT get the salad

    The service was excellent! My Husband and I got Dragon Roll & Shrimp Hibachi with Noodles

    Thai food was ok. Sushi was dismal. I was left with the impression that they couldn't get out of their own way. Service was desperate.

    The food was excellent!! We had a large group that attended for a birthday party. I tasted many…read moredishes...and everything was delicious!!

    Hi Everyone, Ya,…read moreknow, maybe you don't feel like bagging your lunch today, or making diner tonight, but you've got to eat! What ever will you do? What type of food do you want to eat, now or later? Questions, questions, those nagging questions. Well we here, in the peanut gallery, may have a solution for you today. If you enjoy eating Sushi (Japanese cuisine, in which raw or cooked fish can be inserted into or be placed a top a rice roll with other ingredients). Now I thought that Sushi was ONLY raw fish (which I know you knew, but I didn't, lol), and Sushmi which I thought was actually only cooked fish inserted in, or a top a rice roll, with other ingredients, such as seaweed, cream cheese, imitation crab (I.e. pressed white fish) etc... But, bust my buttons, Sushmi is actually Hindu female name, not a name for Asian cusine, which means welcoming or pleasant, (which I know you knew, but I didn't, lol), but I digress, along with some other Chinese classics then we can highly recommend you visit AKOMEYA right here in Bluffton, SC. Why? Because my friends, their food entrees are actually very savory and delicious treats. Their ambiance is inviting, neat, and clean. Their Servers are friendly, personable, and helpful. Their prices are affordable, that's right, as in, most of us can actually afford to pay for them. For instance, they offer four lunch (ONLY) Chinese meals that are relatively healthy as prepared with a delicate balanced of ingredients that are tastebuds delight. And yes, Jethro, them there "viddles" will fill your belly and keep you a comin back for more helpins! But for how much? $10.00 per entree. Now that them their is an affordable price for lunch, even for Jethro da Bodeen. Their diner menu offers many delightful and tasty tantalizing entrees as well which we have also have enjoyed multiple times. So if you have a hankerin for some good viddles like our man Jethro, it's time to get on down to AKOMEYA and git sum. BTW, Akomeya is also a specialty rice shop with locations at many major train stations in Tokyo. Although rice is their main focus, they also offer an impressive selection of kitchen goods, condiments, and snacks--making it a must-visit for cooking enthusiasts or anyone in search of thoughtful, Japan-made gifts (which I know you knew, but I didn't ). Enjoy!

    Consistently some of the better Thai in the area. The spring rolls are tasty and nice sized. I…read morelike the hoisin sauce but it also comes with a honey mustard dipping sauce which is unique. These rolls were one of my favorite parts of my whole meal. I would order them every single time. I appreciate the freshness of each of the dishes. The vegetables are just over el dente. So much flavor in every single bite! The chicken larb was well seasoned. It came out on lettuce instead of the menu mentioned cabbage but it made it more of a salad. I didn't mind because it tasted wonderful. The spice level here is to be respected. I went with a 3 on all of my dishes and it was plenty hot. The server also brought us a spice tray which had 3 different items to choose from. I added some of the Thai chili sauce with fish oil. Deep and funky it adds another layer to an already delicious dish. Service was friendly. This place gets busy and food sometimes comes out a little slow. Be patient and respect the process. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

I got the drunken noodles and added spice with the spice rack provided upon request. My wife got the chicken fried rice. Hers came out first, so when mine came out I forgot to take the picture.
