    Green Curry
    Brian H.

    I tried the green curry. It was excellent. So good. It's definitely homemade. Flavor is great. Lots of chicken and veggies inside. Really nice ambiance and atmosphere inside. Service is good. Nice server. Seems like they do a lot of phone orders. I'll be back to try other curries.

    Been coming here for quite some time now, around 2 years and the food has always been really great. The papaya salad is some of the best in this area so you def need to try it. I ordered the yellow curry tonight with chicken and it was super tasty and the portion was big as well. The squid salad was very tangy and had great flavor. I love how they use a lot of sauce for their salads with intense flavor. Waitress also sanitized seating after other customers left. Will keep coming back to this place.

    Pad Thai Noodles

    Still trying to maintain their low price for lunch or dinner. Good Thai food..welcoming customer service. Just hope they hold onto the price despite everybody is going up. Best price in town!

    Thai Boat Noodle Soup
    Jessica Y.

    The restaurant is located inside a plaza so lots of parking. I tried the vegetable egg rolls, pineapple fried rice, boat noodle soup and deluxe noodle soup. I think it's so great they offer egg rolls in both vegetable and chicken. Personally I prefer vegetable egg rolls. All the dishes ordered were well made and delicious! Ordered takeout. Easy and fast service.

    Definately 2 thumbs up!

    I have been living in Arcadia for about 13 years. I have passed by millions of times, and HAVE never stopped to eat here. My family and I LOVE Thai Food (specifically Spicy Basil w/ground Chicken). We usually drive out to East LA at one of our favorite spots. I think I will save myself a trip and continue to come here. The dish I got was ABSOLUTELY delish and they prepared it EXACTLY how I asked. Mild with ground chicken. Thank you Basil Thai Cooking for making my 1st experience here pleasant. If anyone is looking for Thai food, this place is a must try and the prices are reasonable.

    MANGO STICKY RICE
    Stephanie C.

    Got the usual suspects, Pad Thai with Tofu, Pad See Ew with Beef, Chicken Larb, and mango sticky rice. This place is cheaper than other Thai restaurants in the surrounding area. You get a little less, but you can tell the food is made with LOVE! DELICIOUS! You can actually taste the authenticity, not just some fast food take out. The best dish of the four, is the mango sticky rice! Mango was ripe and sweet and the rice and sauce is STICKY and SAUCY! Just the way I like it. When I go to new Thai places, I always go by how they make the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. I need to go back and try other things!

    The best Thai food I've ever had. I have been coming here for nearly 10 years and the quality of food and service has been 10/10.

    Service was nice and friendly, but the food was definitely not. You're better off trying to wing it your self making Thai at home.

    I ordered the Pad Thai and Yellow Curry, and both completely hit the mark…read more The Pad Thai is high-quality and very traditional--the noodles have that perfect chewy texture and a great sweet-and-tangy tamarind flavor without being overly sweet. The Yellow Curry is pure comfort food; the broth is incredibly rich, smooth, and aromatic, with perfectly cooked potatoes and veggies. On top of the great taste, the portion sizes are very generous. You definitely get your money's worth here, with plenty of food to leave you full (and probably take some home). Will definitely be ordering from here again! Highly recommend.

    This place has been around for years, but it's my first time trying it…read more Ong Choy: really love the way the Ong Choy is made, it's not too salty and oily. It's flavorful and Ong Choy is nice and crunchy. Definitely a great vegetable selection. Pad Thai: the sauce is way too heavy and sweet. We didn't enjoy this as much as we thought we would. The first taste was good, but the more you have the saltier/sweeter it gets. The lime juice didn't lighten things up either. Don't really recommend it. Crab fried rice: there's a good amount of crab and egg in this dish. The rice is on the softer side, it's not dry and hard like most fried rice. We still enjoy it, the texture of the rice didn't kill the flavor of it. The flavor is very balanced, but quite oily. Tom yum seafood soup: There's a good amount of seafood in this soup. The flavor (sweet and sour) is well balanced. Sweet rice with mango: A great dessert option to finish the meal. It is not overly sweet. I'm not a fan of coconut, but the coconut is not distinctly sweet and overwhelming (so I was able to have some). The sweet rice is chewy and warm when served. And the mango is perfectly ripe and sweet. Definitely recommend it. The service was outstanding! The restaurant decoration is very traditional and unique. They are quite busy when we arrived on a Sunday night. I would give this place an overall 3.5/5 because they can definitely work on some of the dishes.
