We had a great meal at Pink Basil . Appetizer of sushi nachos was unique and flavorful . Veg appetizer of scallion pancake and dumplings were refreshingly well made . Rest of the meal of curry , ramen and fried rice were fresh and delicious . We also ordered two cocktails which came with decent amount of alcohol and with unique taste to it . Service was top notch . I want to call out Fler who went above and beyond to care for us . There was miss on chicken and beef on curry and soup respectively. Kitchen miss read the order . She jumped to fix it and in addition gave us credit . Overall , clean and very busy with good food . Highly recommend this place. I took out 1 star because of miss of chicken in curry and beef in ramen . read more

I love Pink Basil! The sushi was so fresh and creative. Our server was so upbeat and accommodating also. The location is so cute, it's nestled in Mystic. Absolutely adorable place. Thanks for a great experience! read more

We ordered take out for a group of hungry adults. We got delicious food and ordered lots of different options from sushi rolls to curry to pad tai. I loved the chicken satay. Good amount of sliced chicken perfectly seasoned. Delivery was fast and all food was warm upon arrival. Would definitely order from here again when I'm in town again. read more

I am giving this restaurant three stars. The service was great, the atmosphere was beautiful, but the food was very salty. I ordered the dish that I had because I was told it was the most Thai authentic dish they had. I have to disagree. Although it was beautiful, it wasn't something I'd order again. I don't remember the name of what I ordered, but it was a noodle dish of some sort. They do have a fairly large menu and maybe my expectations were a little high, but If I came back I'd definitely order something different. I do not recommend this place if you want authentic Thai food. read more

What a great place! Asthetic, food, and location - it's all here. The miso soup, chicken teriyaki, and tuna rolls were all perfection. Our waiter, Tyler, clearly knew what he was doing. Attentive without hovering, kind without being pushy, while also bartending. Management also seemed to be good and jumped in when needed on a busy day. We are still in challenging times and good quality and customer service are gems to be appreciated. You won't regret your visit here! read more

The service is terrible ! We've been waiting more than 20 min and nobody came to us to even serve water . No waitress nobody around . Pretty bad service and specially if you go with your kids I don't recommend this the service is terrible no order at all because antkjer grouse was sit and they got water and is waiting with a toddler not even a "just A second" or something . read more

My family comes to Mystic a few times a year and we always stop by Pink Basil. They have a great selection of food and everyone can find something they like. The atmosphere is very open and social-able. The service is prompt and the food is delicious! Now it is a little pricey in some area's but definitely worth the portion and delicious food! The plaza itself is nice to stroll with cute little shops around too! I recommend the ice cream shop and deviant donuts! read more

Ordered take out and after over an hour waiting still hadn't gotten my food. Many others were waiting also and even someone from a table came up and complained. I don't have a problem if service takes long but don't lie to the customer. She told me 15-20 minutes. Tell me an hour and I respect that but the constant it will just be another few minutes isn't fair! read more

Spring rolls, chicken wings, and mystic fried rice were tasty but rice was too wet and spring rolls and wings were too burned. Pho noodle was too soggy. 3 star on the food. Service was good and fast. read more

The only reason this place is the "Best Asian Fusion Restaurant in Mystic" is it's the only Asian fusion restaurant in Mystic. It's also the worst. Nice enough inside and convenient for the highway, but if you have time, keep going to Westerly where you will find two fantastic restaurants that are 1000% better--Thong Thai, and Noodle Revolution. Pink Basil, by comparison, is mediocre and tasteless, and the seafood is not fresh. If you like great Thai food (Thai is most of the menu) you will not like this. If you like bland Asian-ish food you might like it. Either way, Pad Thai should not be made with tomato sauce. read more

The atmosphere is very welcoming here! As soon as we arrived we were taken care of. The seating has ample space indoor and outdoor. The decor is very cute and suits it's name with the pink and floral. The prices are great for the quality and amount of food you receive. Everything tastes fresh and the servers are so nice! I'm from New York so the nice comfortable pace was a nice change. We got the pork potstickers as an appetizer, they were succulent! I definitely recommend starting your meal with this. They have the option of it being chicken or pork. I ordered the Pad Thai with Beef and it was so delicious! There was a great portion of meat to noodle ratio. I would definitely make the drive to come back to Mystic for these mystical noodles! My friend got the shrimp teriyaki with the red rice. She devoured it. It comes with jasmine rice but it was a good choice to try the red rice. My server with Anne. She was very caring, funny and gave us tips and recommendations for things to do in Mystic. read more

We've never had a bad meal or experience here. The decorative flowers make the space feel tropical and fun. You can eat inside or out, and there is a bar with stools. Pretty much everything on the menu can be altered for protein, spice level, and allergy. They offer gluten-free and keto menus too. The servers are great at explaining and suggesting substitutions or options. I usually get sushi here, and it's always been delicious and presented beautifully. Today, I had bibimbap, and I substituted shrimp for the beef. This dish was more traditional, no crispy rice, and the kimchi was great. We really love coming here and their sister restaurant, Spice Club, in Niantic. read more

I wasn't sure what to make of a menu that ranges from chicken teriyaki to bulgogi to a Malaysian curry, but was intrigued by the appearance of two Lao items and one Burmese option in the salad section. Turns out the som tum Laos salad was gloriously out of sync with any expectations based on Pink Basil's location in a touristy shopping center. The spice hits you on many levels, and if I may be like those who say wine has hints of vanilla and pineapple, there's even a smoky undercurrent. I got level 2 and it was plenty. Tomatoes and string beans provide textural variety and peanuts offer a crucial role in counteracting the heat. Rice is a must-have to work with the liquid, though I won't tell anyone if you just drink it like a beverage. read more

My family and I can NEVER agree on a place to eat. After doing some digging on Yelp I found this place with a large enough menu that it should satisfy the pickiest of eaters (me). Because it's in Mystic Village it was pretty difficult to find, but eventually we were able to find it. When we got there we were greeted by staff and everyone seems very friendly and pleasant. We got our food relatively quickly, it was okay. I'm not sure we would go again, but over all it was a good experience. read more

I don't like to leave reviews for negative experiences as I've been in the restaurant business my entire career but sometimes it's necessary. The service was almost nonexistent, our server took our order dropped off our drinks after they took 15 minutes (finished app already) and then had to hunt her down to pay. Never check on meal which was just ok, never offered a second drink and we were considering dessert but ran out of time because she was nowhere to be found. Food had some flavor but everything could have been better, all meats were overcooked and dry and lack of sauce on the crispy garlic dish made it bland read more

Since my original review over 3 years ago I have returned to Pink Basil about 5 more times (basically every time I'm in Mystic) and have been impressed in every subsequent visit. I've tried various menu items and have loved everything I've tried. The crispy garlic chicken is a personal favorite. The pad Thai is phenomenal as is the mee goreng. I wish I lived closer because this is perhaps my favorite Thai and Pan-Asian restaurant around. They have also handled gluten allergies for fellow diners very well. The staff is friendly, and in the midst of the current pandemic, the precautions taken have been appreciated. At the time of this review they are only doing takeout and outdoor dining on their covered patio, and food is served in takeout containers. This didn't bother us much, and we understand the reasons behind these changes. Thank for you so many delicious meals over the years! read more

I went in for lunch,. I will say the restaurant is nice and seems like a fun place to hang out with friends after work or for happy hour. If you want thai food, don't try it, though, The pink basil noodles had no basil in it! And it was flavorless with very few vegetables aside from a lot of onions. The garlic sauce with vegetables with also somehow flavorless and the sauce was very watery. I do feel bad saying this but it was a notch below americanized thai food with no flavor. It wasn't terribly oily, which I did appreciate. read more

We have went to Pink Basil. However our experience has not been up to Pink Basils normal consistently good quality. Based on this we will not be going back for a while. We are hoping it is because of staffing issues. We will return, but only after the new staff gets more experience. I do feel the owner needs to be present more to ensure the quality of the food is up to their standards. read more

This was my second visit for weekend lunch. Food and service have been 5 stars both times. Staff are very nice and can make food more or less spicy to taste. Everything is delicious and very healthy. Ambiance is great. Clean restaurant with lots of faux flowers. read more

Came from New York during a fall weekend...Pink Basil was calling to us everytime we drove to Mystic and we finally tried it out. We tried the spicy ramen and bulgogi, both tasted great and we can't wait to come back and try different items! Definitely was perfect for a chilly day! read more

Disclaimed: no pictures because we ate the food so quickly. Went here with some friends, as we were starving with no plan. Ended up stumbling upon this gem! The edamame was seasoned well with crispy garlic. The coconut thai soup was so creamy and savory. Their menu had a variety of food; i got the beef bulgogi meal. Interesting enough, the salad that came with the dressing was insanely savory and refreshing. I will absolutely go here again, and will try the sushi! read more

Great eat in experience at Pink Basil. We do a fair amount of take out from there but it was very nice to eat in. Had the pink basil signature entree with chicken and the crusted spicy tuna roll. Both very well prepared. Portions were perfect. Fresh tasting; Service could not have been better. Very responsive to our need for only slight spice. No rush. Nice atmosphere. Sometimes you have to remember that it's worth taking the time to eat in and enjoy the experience. read more

Came here a few months ago but never posted a review. Went with my son and a friend and its a nice, clean place with a friendly bartender. I had their local IPA which was very good. For lunch, i ordered the red curry with chicken and asked that they make it "100" on the heat level which they did, it was hot. I enjoyed the food, the heat was great but you still tasted the fresh ingredients read more

We came here looking for authentic Asian food. Tried their stir fry and a classic pad Thai dish to judge the quality of the food.

The service and food is great! I went with a friend for lunch in a Friday. Wasn't sure what to expect of a Thai place in Mystic Village, but I was blown away. We had no wait and we're brought right to a table, our waitress was so sweet and helpful. We started with a tuna roll and curry puffs. The sushi was so fresh and delicious. The curry puffs were amazing. My only regret was not ordering some to take home! For an entree I got the pad Thai with beef. My stomach is growling thinking about it. The flavor was so fresh, perfectly seasoned and balanced well. When I'm back in Mystic or nearby I will absolutely be back! read more

No pictures of the food. Finished before I had the presence of mind to take a picture! So good! So full! I had 10 dishes, you know. Anne was an excellent sever, BTW! Will definitely return. My family and I loved everything about this place. Do try the Pineapple Curry, that dish was firing on all cylinders! read more

I expected so much more from this place because of all the rave reviews!! I came in on a recent evening and the restaurant wasn't busy busy, there were two couples dining in. When I walked in another party of 3 walked in behind me, and we all just kind of stood there ignored. The manager/ owner walked in, walked past us and didn't say a word. Not "have you been helped" "can I help you" nothing. One of the waitresses was on the computer a didnt even budge when we came in. After about 5 minutes the people behind me were helped to get seated. I was just standing there, looking at my take out order waiting to be given the bill, or any attention at all, while my noodles got cold and my sushi warm lol. Finally a nice waitress helped, when she finally came around, she was super nice and helpful, so she might be the saving grace of this place, I wish I could remember her name. Well I get my take out order home, and what did I find out? My 14 FREAKING DOLLAR CRUNCHY TUNA ROLL HAS NO AVOCADO AT ALL!! There's like 4 things in this roll, how do you forget the avocado!? Of course I was already home, so I wasn't about to go back out in 29 degree weather on a 15 minute drive -.- The Bangkok noodles are like pad see we, the noodles were cooked really well, and it had a good mix of veggies and chicken. But the chicken was kind of rubbery and had a ton of fat on it ‍ it was also SUPER liquify at the bottom which was kind of weird and probably an effect of having to wait 10 minutes while my food was already sitting there, then driving home. It needed to be heated up, which was a shame honestly. I'm only giving this place 2 stars instead of one because of the woman who actually helped me was nice. I'll never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Sushi can often be a hit or miss for me and this restaurant was a HUGE hit. After recently moving to the area I've struggled to find a new Japanese restaurant with top quality fish and now I've found it. There's another sushi restaurant closer to home but Pink Basil has much higher quality sushi rolls in my opinion. We came here during the busy holiday season and still had excellent service with our waitress having a full section. The atmosphere is also very nice and a great for date night. Looking forward to coming back here and ordering more delicious sushi & dumplings. read more
