Really nice looking place great atmosphere I ordered my meal to go unfortunately I found hair in my food when I got back to work. I called in the same order for pickup and didn't mention anything about my in unacceptable Order. When I arrived my order wasn't ready and the man demanded that I pay for my to go order even thought wasn't ready. When I handed him to go box and told him it had a large hair on top and I wanted another order. Maybe I just should have asked for my money back but I gave them the Benefit of the doubt. He asked for my ordering he wanted to take it to the kitchen. Here is where I wished I asked for my money back. I told I'd rather wait until I get my new order. He seem like he got mad at that point. He took it and said he had to show his cook. That's the last thing I wanted him to do especially since I hadn't received my new order yet. A few minutes later he came out with a perfectly looking new order. He never apologized for wasting what happen. I lost a half hour of work time he he never even said anything or offered me any compensation. Nice looking place but very poor Business Etiquette. I would give them a zero but I have to pick something to open the review page. read more

Basil Thai - A hair - Thai Near Me - Blue Ash, Ohio

I've tried pad thai all over the city, but this place has the best pad thai hands down. Their service is always fast, the food is always hot, and the people who work here are so friendly. Try it out for yourself! You won't be disappointed! read more

THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD I got the chicken pad Thai (with ex. veggies for $2) & it was incredible. It was flavorful and fresh. So many places I've had pad Thai at make it so bland and sad. This place was a breath of fresh air. I also had crab Rangoon. The best crab Rangoon I've had in sooo long. So fresh. You could see the fresh herbs and real crab in them through the thin crispy wontons (&the cream cheese wasn't unbearably sweet per usual when it comes to rangoons). The sauce that came with it was different--good different. It was tangy and very very strong but it was such a perfect balance with the richness of the crab Rangoon. I say all this having ordered this meal (delivery) for lunch earlier today. And it was so good that I just ordered more for dinner no joke. Same order. Beyond pleased with this place :) read more

Coworkers and I order from this place probably once or twice a week. Food is always great!

During my workday I don't have much time for lunch so I picked one of the closest places I could. I ordered the Thai springs rolls and pad Thai with chicken. The spring rolls were could eat 100 of them. The pad Thai is why I'm giving it a 4/5 because although it's really good...... there's just something missing. But basil Thai was super fast and efficient and there's a 99% chance I'll eat here again. read more

Basil Thai - Chicken Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Blue Ash, Ohio

Portions were smaller than expected. Things tasted good, but not much basil in the basil chicken. Pad thai was good, but a bit sweet for me. Others may find it just how they like it. Service was good. read more

Came for a work trip to the area and didn't want the heavy typical American fare we usually have when in the area, so I turned to yelp. Found Basil Thai and ended up happy with everything. Spring rolls were a tasty start to the meal, then I had the drunken noodle, which hit the spot. Spice levels here aren't crazy, so don't be afraid to go high if you like it spicy. My colleague had the Pad See Ew and really enjoyed it. Service was prompt and food came out quickly. When I'm back in the area, I'll gladly hit this place up again for a meal outside of the ordinary. I love good Thai food and this spot hit it. read more

Terrible order received via door dash. Had crispy pad Thai. Nothing but half burned crispy noodles and burned tofu. Also ordered Tom Kha soup. Container only half full. Really looking forward to Thai for dinner but pad Thai inedible. read more

Quick service and delicious food. Staff was also very kind. Would definitely be a regular if I lived here.

Wow! Just wow. After eating take out for over a year from so many places, my husband and I can not believe we had yet to explore Basil Thai. The food was perfection. Spiced perfectly, amazing flavors, and probably best that I've had in a long time. We ordered the mango sticky rice but they didn't have it and while I was bummed at first, I now know this place is in my future long term and I can't try it soon (maybe next week)! Yum. read more

What an amazing experience! Food is full of taste and freshness. The best tom yam soup I have ever tried. I think this is the best thai restaurant in ALL Cincinnati area. And I have been in 6 of them before in Cincinnati and many many in Bangkok and Koh Samui(Thailand) My mother in law tried coconut soup. She said it was delicious. And my husband ate two of them, mine too. I think I'm going to come here every week. read more

Basil Thai - Spicy beef country salad!! AMAZING!!!!!!!! - Thai Near Me - Blue Ash, Ohio

Not many Thai restaurants serve crispy Pad Thai, so, upon searching I was only presented with a handful of options in the Blue Ash area. I'd already tried another nearby restaurant so a co-worker and I headed to Basil Thai for lunch. There was no wait but the establishment has a good amount of people dining. We checked the menu before and decided to go for it. My co-worker had never had Thai food before so I recommended Pad Thai as I thought it would be a good introductory dish. We both ordered crispy Pad Thai with chicken. While I rather enjoyed the dish, my co-worker wanted more sauce and veggies in her dish. I thought it wasn't bad but needed a little more flavor and spice (I ordered 2 thinking it would have a just a little spice but there was none). I was a huge fan of the service but for lunch, it wasn't bad, just not great. I can definitely see myself ordering take out in the future! read more

The food was ok. A little on the bland side for Thai but it was edible. I don't mind spending a little more money but the portions are very small and on the expensive side. Paid extra for brown rice and only received a small half filled pint container. Soup was very good but again, $5.50 for a half filled pint container? And the person at the restaurant wouldn't give the delivery driver any soy sauce. SOY SAUCE????? Maybe lower your prices or give better portions. Times are hard I understand, but they are hard for everyone right now. read more

I have to say, I left Basil Thai content, not having to roll me out. Their portions are not big but perfect for us. Tofu pad thai and chicken green curry was very good. We could of had a appetizer and still feel the same. It's not a fancy place, service was good and the food came out pretty fast. For what it is I would come back again! The price is right! read more

This restaurant was awesome! Food was exactly prepared to the correct level of awesomeness. I would have liked it hotter than it was. I asked for #4 on 1-4 scale and it came out like a 1 instead. I got the crispy duck. The description was for sweet and sour sauce. Tasted more like bbq. It was still delicious but just not what I anticipated. read more

Basil Thai - Crispy duck. Very tasty however it's a bit more bbq than sweet and sour as described. The flavor is incredible. - Thai Near Me - Blue Ash, Ohio

With the Covid-19 dealio going on, I've been trying to support a lot of local businesses. I live in the middle of nowhere, but luckily I work in Mason, so I can do a lot of to-go food. Thai food is one of my favorite things to eat. Ever. And I love shoving food into my gaping maw. I decided to try these guys out, and due to the weekend and time, only their dinner menu was available. I ordered up a few dishes and they were very prompt with handing it to me when I picked it up. The food was decent, not as good as others, but again, I love Thai food and I'm a snob. The reason they lost stars with me though, was because I was given a very small lunch portion after having paid a very large dinner price. That was really disappointing to me. read more

idk thinks didn't have as much spice as i was hoping, it honestly seemed sweet? fun adobe stock vids playing on the tvs tho

Everything says they're open until 3pm. Even their door says they are open. I arrived around 230 to place a takeout order for the first time... completely closed. Disappointed. read more

Very good food. We ordered chicken curry and was very flavorful. The service was excellent too. Will order again.

Yum. I had the spring rolls and the basil fried rice. Each had a great flavor and the sauce for the spring rolls was a nice addition. The tofu was really good!! And the Thai tea was just as I've had other places. Will be back to try more!! read more

Great service! Nice variety but not overwhelming! I had the Ginger Chicken and the vegetables were cooked perfectly and the variety was refreshing. I ordered it at a 1 out of 4 spice level and it certainly had a kick to it! Obviously, I don't love spicy foods, but do enjoy some tasty heat (think Tabasco sauce, medium salsa, or Asian zing at BW3s) Thank goodness they couldn't accommodate my request of a 1.5 lol. However, the absolute best part of the meal were the crab Rangoon's. BEST I've ever had. EVER. Also had the fresh spring roll that was definitely delicious. I will be back and ordering a meal completely composed of appetizers. Am interested in trying the pad Thai and fried rice as I know folks who rave about them! Solid choice for lunch and dinner or appetizers read more

I thought the food was good. I'm not a fan of raisins in my fried rice, but other than that it was good. I am not a fan of a ten cent glass of iced tea being 2.50. Is that really necessary? I probably won't be back unless I plan to bring my own beverage. ‍ read more

Basil Thai - Pineapple Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - Blue Ash, Ohio

Delicious food! Ordered Fried Tofu, Drunken Noodles, and Masaman Curry. The only reasons that I took off a star was because: the order wasn't ready for the UberEats driver and the curry sauce should have been thicker. I will definitely be ordering from here again in the future! read more

Bland, not the worst iv had bit not going again because gas. It was however, hot which was nice

I checked this place out for dinner last night having driven past it for years. It wasn't too busy so we were sat right away and drink orders were taken. The menu looked to be the typical Thai selections, so instead of going with the staple (Pad Thai), I went with something I've never tried before at any Thai place - Rad Na (a wide noodle in gravy with chicken, carrots, broccoli) and it was incredible! For being so close to the office, this place is definitely on the rotation now! read more

I just became aware of Basil Thai a few days ago! Super close for me working in blue ash. Stopped in for lunch. I was struck by the decor. I kinda wished I hadn't done takeout and grabbed a coworker or two for a sit down lunch. Bright and modern, and the servers had hand held devices for interacting with the point of sale systems. Pretty cool. Onto the food, I had the red curry, and it was pretty good. The takeout portion came nicely sealed in a container that was absolutely not going to leak. The rice and curry were separate in the container, and I must say it was quite tasty. Great flavor. I'm going to head back to try the yellow curry in the near future and also - sushi! They have a pretty decent sushi menu that covers all the basics as well as a few more relatively exotic rolls to try. read more

This place has a special place in my heart!!! I've known the owners for a couple of years now and the restaurant is one of our favorites. I can't rave enough about the food. The Pad Thai is hands down the best in the city. So flavorful. But if you like traditional Thai food definitely try the Nam tok or Grilled Pork with sticky rice. It's a flavor explosion. read more

Good food. Good ambience. Good service. Been here multiple times and it has been consistent. read more

Delicious Thai food! Love Thai tea, and theirs was no exception to that! I also had the pineapple fried rice. So good, I added tofu as my protein. Wonderful service, our waitress was super nice, quick, and checked on us several times. We didn't have any complaints. Worked well for a lunch meeting. Looked very clean and comfortable! read more

This is really good Thai! It was completely empty for a Saturday, but that's Blue Ash. Decor is very cool & clean. I had the Pad See Ewe with pork, my husband had the Spicy Beef Thai Style. So often the meat is tiny pieces, but they are very generous with it! Spice level and flavor are on point. Definitely will be back read more

This is a great Thai restaurant. The food is always good. Service is always friendly and prompt. It's my new go-to neighborhood spot for Thai food. They have a good variety of menu items and the prices are very reasonable. My favorite dish is the red curry. read more

Basil Thai - Thai Near Me - Blue Ash, Ohio

While typically busy at lunch for the weekday crowd, this restaurant is relatively large and the kitchen doesn't seem to slow down. I'll start by acknowledging the banker in the room - this isn't a cheap lunch, head to one of the half dozen fast food places nearby if you're seeking inexpensive food. I can vouch for these dishes because they're on my carousel of food at Basil Thai: Black Pepper Sauce (chicken) Pineapple Fried Rice (with chicken or pork, hold the cashews please) Red Curry (chicken) Thai Spicy (chicken) Their spice levels are on par with other Thai restaurants, however if you're concerned about it being too spicy remove a star or three and ask for spice on the side. read more

Read the great reviews on yelp and since it was right around the corner from my hotel, I had to try it. Absolutely worth it! Delicious!! I had the mango curry with chicken and shrimp---so good!! Chunks of pineapple & mango mellowed the curry out. Great combination. Topped dinner off with a Thai Tea. Good meal all the way around and leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. read more

Basil Thai - Thai Near Me - Blue Ash, Ohio

I highly recommend this restaurant. We had the Pad See Ewe, Drunken Noodle, and Spicy Eggplant. All three dishes were absolutely delicious- the vegetables were perfectly cooked and the flavors were spot on. The portions were also generous. The decor was nice-especially for a strip mall restaurant. If you like Thai food, you should check this place out. read more

Basil Thai is my favorite Thai restaurant...and I've been to dozens around the country. The food is fresh, perfectly spiced (0-4) and delicious. Their yellow curry is my go-to dish. And the service is top-notch. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. Dining room is open for those who are ready to venture out, but also can order online for carry-out or delivery. ***** read more

The food wasn't tasty. Yelp wasn't confirming the order, so I had to call the restaurant a few times. The owner got offended and complaint at pick up. Strangely he even charged for brown rice and gave us while rice. Unacceptable ! Never going back here. read more

I really like the vegetarian basil fried rice here and the miso soup. I can't get miso soup at the other thai joints I frequent, so love getting that with my thai food. I haven't branched out beyond that meal combo yet. Staff very friendly and they are pretty quick on serving food. read more

We were a group of 6 & wanted to try this new place. Though it was lunch time & crowded we were seated without delays. However after getting our seats, neither the server nor anyone else showed up to ask for drinks/ food order for 15 minutes. Once our Lunch order was placed (no drinks/ water till this time) we had to continue waiting for another 30 minutes. On inquiry the only response we got was "Ok" :(:( post which we had to approach Restaurant Manager. It took them 40 minutes to bring food to our table & even that wasn't was what we ordered. Post explaining this it took another 5-10 minutes for our actual order to come by (near about an hour after placing the order). Service: Really very very slow. They were thoroughly short staffed. Staff: Amiable. Our server apologized for the delay in bringing our order. Food Quality: 1.5 out of 5. I have been to other Thai restaurants & all of them do ask for preferred spice level. This was not the case here & all of our 6 orders were more towards Sweet instead of Spicy. The food appeared to be prepared in a hurry. Fried rice didn't look or taste like it (rice were more in chunks & you could see the sauce not coating all of it). Definitely won't be visiting again. read more

This is my go to local place by my house to get some Thai food. The pad Thai is amazing. Perfect spice level and they give you plenty of meat! read more

Delicious food! I got the fresh rolls and seafood tom yum and they were great! The tom yum was full of concentrated flavor and I wish I had more :) Only complaint was that I got mine to go and they could work on their packaging. They used cardboard to separate the two packages and the soup slid off and the container leaked quite a bit. I get pho to go quite a bit and haven't had issues spilling to-go soups at other places. read more
