What a great find! We were traveling to Massachusetts and wanted to find a cool spot to stop at. We loved our drinks and meals. Excellent martini's and thai iced tea. The tempura shrimp and pot sticker appetizers were delicious, and the pineapple chicken, and tom kha were excellent! Our server was delightful~ Highly recommended! read more

We ordered pot stickers and chicken satay for appetizers, and cashew nut, shrimp drawbridge fried rice, pad Thai, and a chicken basil noodle dish for entrees. All six at the table thought the food was outstanding and would go back again. The staff was both friendly and attentive. read more

Great food , Service and atmosphere. The ingredients are always fresh, the staff is always accommodating. All restaurants are always very clean. The drunken noodles are a top favorite and the mango salad. I have traveled in Thailand, and theses restaurants know there stuff- you will not be disappointed at any of the locations. read more

Must try!!! Service is excellent, and the food is perfectly cooked. I had the plum wine with my avocado salad. My daughter had the edamame and rice. My husband had the seafood pink basil special and miso soup, both were big enough to share. After a couple days of "road trip" food and hotel breakfast, this dinner was needed and delicious! read more

I'm only giving them 4 stars because I've only tired the sushi so far. It was excellent. Have to try more of the menu.

Only thing stopping a 5 star was the spring rolls appetizer, other than that.. really really good. A must try place

Cool ambience good food great service. Worth it!! Food portions are big. So order carefully read more

Fantastic service, pleasant atmosphere, the pot stickers are perfect and the food is delicious and spot on. I had the Hot Thai BBQ, a really tasty steak dish, and I tried some of my dinner partner's Pad Thai dish. Both were amazing and I look forward to trying more of the menu. The waiter we had was pleasant and extremely attentive. The restaurant is located in Old Mystic Village and would make a perfect place for lunch during a day of shopping, browsing or duck feeding. read more

Food is excellent! I got the pink basil signature dish and my husband got the old mystic village entree..both exceeded our expectations..My favorite was the old mystic sushi roll which was to die for..Prices were very reasonable..Well be back! read more

Very flavorful asian fusion food! I am a vegetarian - the only veg. appetizer - veggie pot stickers were delicious! I also had the Tom Yum soup and Malaysian noodles dish just loved it! Plan to go again. Many vegetarian entrees - only request - please customize some of the appetizers for vegetarians. read more

Went with my boyfriend for a casual special occasion dinner. The space is tasteful and the music was nice. Service was great; our server was very friendly, helpful, and attentive, and never let our water glasses get too low. Our meal was also paced perfectly. The food was AMAZING. We split the calamari appetizer, which could have been enough to share among five people. It was delicious and the dipping sauce that it came with was very good too. My boyfriend got the Mystic Entree with chicken. The peanut sauce was perfect and the vegetables were fresh. I got green curry with chicken and it was outstanding. My boyfriend and I have tried about half a dozen different thai restaurants in New England, and this is now our new favorite! The prices were incredibly reasonable, the quality was very good (the best green curry I've had anywhere), the atmosphere is nice, and the portions are absolutely huge. We brought home our leftovers, and I got almost two more meals out of my green curry and my boyfriend got another whole meal from his chicken (and he can eat a lot). We were very impressed and can't wait to return. read more

This place it amazing! Food was great. The atmosphere was so peaceful yet exciting. Very cute patios, two of them. Wait staff were all very sweet and helpful. 100% would recommend and go again! read more

Best chicken dumplings! The peanut sauce on the mystic entree was amazing and I loved that the eggplant and okra in the nonya curry was tempura! So delicious! Waitress was very nice. Would come again! Wish I got a picture of our food but we couldn't help but dig in. read more

Would give a higher rating because the food was good but the service was so horrible I had too lower it. I had to g t up and walk to the hospital hostess and ask for drink refills. Ordered sushi and they didn't even bring chop sticks. read more

This place was extremely okay. Service is crazily slow. In the booth there were dried noodles on the wall. Gross. The menu also had some sticky sauce on it! Some food was cold unfortunately but other was good. Food was also very overpriced. Wouldn't come again read more

Pretty good spicy miso soup. The pork was a bland but the broth was excellent and the noodles were very flavorful. Nice and inviting interior. The service was rather slow, but the waitress still came to check on us and refill drinks. Overall, a good dining experience. read more

Cute outdoor dining area, friendly service & large portions! Ordered the pink basil roll (very large & delicious!) & chicken dumpling appetizer (definitely big enough for 2 people). Great Thai noodle dish too. Will definitely be returning :) read more

Pink Basil - Pink basil roll (spicy salmon roll covered in salmon, avocado, tobiko & spicy mayo). Yummy!! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mystic, Connecticut

Great food- crap service get a grip "Pink Basil" with so many places around... I'd bet you won't be here come summer. Go ahead and get a grip. "Sorry your waiters on break." Lol what? This is a not a joke? read more

Visited this place Sunday afternoon per recommentdation from a friend and was busier than I expected for a sunday, but it wasn't super busy. Definitely was a bit difficult to find the first time, but I was not disappointed in her suggestion. Its a hidden gem in the Village. Server was great with recommendations, he gave attentive service, but food was just ok. maybe was just a personal preference, but pad thai was a bit bland. wonton soup was good but the wonton were definitly better than the broth they were in. My friend really enjoyed their food and was very happy with the food. Like I said, maybe it was just a personal preference. Portions were larger than expected for the price. presentation was great. Would I recommend this place? One word, YES! Service 4/5 food 3.5/5 (due to only my food) atmostpher 3/5 price value 4/5 I will definitly be back. read more

We've enjoyed coming here a few times. Food is always good. We like to sit on the patio. Please note... although seated immediately, there is a long wait for patio service...When we first started coming patio was quaint and had lights strung up and a little seating area with a small couch. Which is now a back bar and water station ....it's now over-decorated with mismatching paper lanterns strung randomly and multi colored flag streamers. ( reminiscent of a used car lot) And MANY burnt out lights....:(.... patio has become storage for cold weather stand up heaters , haphazardly placed. Sandwich board signs are stacked against inner fencing in dining area that has a beautiful view of the recycled card board thrown out the back door (This could be fixed with some kind of black mesh in with the existing black fence and gate). Also, patio in need of a good power washing. Regarding service: the girl who waited on us was excellent.... but for a summer afternoon very understaffed. Wait was very long. In closing, we will probably come back but if it's the same or worse... we would probably think twice about another visit. Being so close to the sounds of the highway, ambiance is really the key to this place!! read more

Lots of menu items. This is a great place to take a large group, or to just go for good food. The location is nice, being right in Old Mystic Village, you can roll over to the Jealous Monk for some good beer. All around good experience. read more

I am very disappointed with my experience here. I usually go to Spice Club, (Pink Basil's sister restaurant) and I love it. Yet I was in Mystic and decided to try this out. My friend and I are ignored when we are asked how many of us and finally when we are seated I ask if I could possibly get a small bowl of shrimp chips to start. My waitress ROLLED her eyes at me. Mind you, my friend and I are THE ONLY TABLE in the restaurant other than us, it was empty. Go to spice club it's better the food is somehow better even though I ordered the same thing I order EVERY TIME. read more

So the food was great... But the service was very slow for takeout. Our food sat on the counter for an extended amount of time and we were not informed when they were aware that we were waiting for it, after giving them the name for our order. read more

A must go eating experience! Huge portions, fresh ingredients!! Great ambiance, attentive staff! Run don't walk there now!

Good sized portions and decent priced entrees. We had the pink basil noodles, it's a chow foon style dish. Also the nonya curry with rice. Came with deep fried eggplant and okra. Ate our full and had leftovers to go. read more

I couldn't believe how busy this place was; the only thing I can figure is that the people who dine here have not had real Thai food. My daughter had Pad Thai-it tastes like it came out of a box. I had pineapple curry-again very little favor & served in a huge obnoxious bowl. My son had overpriced sushi and maki-looked and tasted like it came from a grocery store. Avoid this poor dining experience! read more

Not the greatest if you are looking for even a halfway authentic asian curry. Finding this place took a bit of effort as we were just coming from the Aquarium it should of been simple but we drove in a circle to find out that it was simply across the street from there. That aside the food was just OK. I had a green curry which wasn't that spicy and dry cuts of breast meat were used which obviously takes away from the flavor of the curry, which wasn't that flavorful, it almost tasted bottled or straight out of the packet, so boring. It just tasted like a halfway attempt at curry. Anyway it seems the place is new so maybe it's just finding it's footing. Next time at the aquarium we will make another attempt to see if it fairs any better. read more

We had takeout from here several weeks back. Ordering was easy and the pickup time was short. We had 3 specialty sushi rolls, chicken pad thai and the duck rolls. The portion sizes were good but I did find them to be pricey for what I got. The pad thai was pretty bland like it was from a box and the duck was a weird texture, not really crunchy and weirdly dry. The sushi was good but not remarkable. I think we will try again in house to see if the food improves but it was a disappointing takeout experience. read more

This place never disappoints, staff is great and everyone is super friendly! Go on once a week for ramen, Pho or the Mee Goreng.

Just had dinner at Pink Basil. There were 6 of us, we had reservations and were seated promptly. We ordered drinks, mostly martinis. They are way over priced at $10 and $11 each. We ordered appetizers, calamari and edemami, both were good. Three ordered the spicy ramen soup, one light on the spice, the other two were full on spice. The mild ramen was great! The spicy ones were really spicy! One ordered a duck entree, one Pink Basil Noodles, I ordered the lemongrass beef. These three were good as well. Our waitress was great! I would recommend Pink Basil, just stay away from the pricy martinis. The draft beer (American) was a reasonable $4. read more

Came here on a Tuesday night- nobody in the restaurant. Ordered stir fry off the menu, staff was willing and able to accommodate vegan diets which was super awesome! The sushi was just alright, nothing super special. I would eat here again, but I'm not super, super passionate about this restaurant. read more

Best Thai place I have been too in quite a while. Tom Yum soup was amazing and the bowl was huge. The Mee Goteng was excellent as well. I will certainly be a repeat customer! read more

I am definitely coming back here next time I'm in area. Service was sub par but food was excellent. read more

See all

Tried this place for the first time. The sushi was amazing, both my wife and I dinners were amazing. Prices were very fair, the service was great, portions were big and best of all you get to walk it off in the village. read more

I am a local who for the first time tonight went to Pink Basil and I am in love! Our waitress Andrea was quick and so nice! She got our order right and helped me pick what kind of wing flavor I should get and her suggestion was so great! Overall, the food, ambience and service was great! read more

Great atmosphere, nice interior and back patio is my favorite. also great service and delicious food.

I love this place. Ideal protein menu, convenient location to allergist, lovely place inside, very pleasant staff. I have nothing but great things to say about here! The food is tasty, servings are huge, like my kids and I can split a dish and still have leftovers. Love it here! read more

Super fast service, everything we had was very fresh. Here for restaurant week and at dinner for $20 it was soup, a sushi roll, avocado salad, an appetizer AND an entree! Soup could have come to the table hotter, but that is the ONY complaint. Chicken spring rolls crisp and not oily, pot stickers were tasty and HOT! Avocado salad was full of crisp veggies and lots of avocado. Spicy salmon roll and sweet potato tempura rolls were delicious. Highly recommend the pumpkin curry - spicy and full of fresh veggies and tender chicken. She had beef Bibimbap, and really enjoyed it. SO much food for $20! Don't miss the pumpkin martinis!! Wait staff are friendly and attentive. read more

I had a tough time finding this place because the location on Google maps was incorrect. I'm glad I finally found it because the food was wonderful. I had the crunchy tuna roll and Panang shrimp. The Panang was a lot more soupy than I prefer, but the flavor was great. The sushi was top notch! The venue was really cute, and I love the Olde Mystic surrounding area. read more

Just had lunch at Pink Basil with our two grandchildren ages 10 & 12. We thought the dumplings, pot stickers, were "the best". The Fried Calamari appetizer was huge and more than enough for all of us. Then three of us ordered main courses, two noodle dishes and one pork curry. The last one ordered the lettuce wrap appetizer as a main. Everything was very tasty but we ordered Way too much food. The service was excellent. But I wish our waiter had warned us how much we ordered! read more
