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

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

Food is good- very salty but sushi is very good. Expect large portions. Ambiance is bright, very bright. Service was good but eat before 7:30 when the cleanup seems to begin. read more

This place is SUPER CUTE! I'm obsessed with the decor. The hostess greeted us right off that bat and our server was very attentive and service was fast! All of my food was fantastic! I had the rice soup and a Philadelphia roll with a Thai Iced Tea. I'm craving that tea as I write this. So good! Can't wait to go again! read more

Pink Basil - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mystic, Connecticut

good seafood. excellent service. seated outdoors on a relaxing summer evening. very good dinner.

Not only is Pink Basil super cute but the food is delicious. As someone who is very picky about duck, the spicy garlic duck ramen was excellent. Noodles were a good texture, everything was flavorful and the meat was SUPER juicy. We loved our server Jason. Very funny and down to earth, and we enjoy how he'd check in without being invasive. Great service 10/10. Also if you're looking for something fresh and delicious, without being too heavy or filling the happiness roll was AMAZING. By far my favorite sushi roll when trying to avoid eating too much before your entrée. read more

The food was delicious. Service was excellent, our waiter was absolutely great! It was comfortable and we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. We'll be back! read more

Food and drinks are amazing, but what makes my experience amazing is the service by my girl, Anne. She's an incredibly joyous server and is very attentive to any needs that me and my friends have. She's always making us laugh and making sure that we are having a good time. Thank you Anne for existing. I'll always visit this restaurant as long as you around. read more

Have been a few times and will return. Food has been VERY good. They seem to struggle with service - seating, getting your food in a timely manner, the server disappearing when you are trying to pay for your meal and depart. Its always been busy and loud when we are there, so maybe they just struggle with the necessary staffing to keep up. Its not horrible, just put your patience on when you go. Food is plenty good enough for us to return and now we know its going to take awhile to be seated, our order taken, food served and check paid. read more

I came here with a friend to meet up for lunch, on a super overcast day in January. We picked this place because we could make a reservation for lunch, which was surprisingly hard to find in the area. Parking was easy and fast, but it was hard for us to find the restaurant. Once inside, it was a curious mix of asian influences. I was surprised to see a full size sushi bar in a Thai restaurant...but we decided to give them a try anyway. The rest of the interior was mediocre but otherwise clean. The menu was very extensive. They had a full menu option for people eating certain diets including keto, which I thought was a nice touch. I decided to order the veggie panaang and brown rice, and my friend ordered the drunken noodles. We also started with the edamame and tea to drink. The edamame was bland and unimpressive as well as slightly overcooked which made them mushy. The curry was ok but nothing impressive, and as it sat, it curdled which was unappealing. The rice was dry and tough, and didn't complement the entree at all. I'm not sure how my friend's noodles were, but she didn't eat much of it. Service was fast but not very friendly, and the acoustics inside made it super loud at times during the peak of lunch. The restroom was also odd but clean, and they make sure you're a customer and not just someone walking in off the park which apparently they have an issue with ongoing. Overall, a very lackluster dining experience with limited flavor profile and very unappealing atmosphere. read more

I'm sure it's delicious to others, but if you're from California.. simply avoid this place. The flavor pallets is not the same. Go to McDonald's instead. read more

First time eating here after all the times we have been to Mystic Village. We love supporting small businesses. We had a little wait since it was a Saturday evening which didn't bother us. The service and atmosphere are great. They have great choices on the menu. We were a party of 4 and ordered quite a bit of food. We had scallion pancakes, miso soup, pho,Ricky roll and spicy tuna maki. The scallion pancakes are thicker than what I was used to. The miso soup was good but could have been served at a hotter temperature. The pho had great taste but seemed a little greasy and I'm used to it having rice noodles instead of angel hair pasta. The sushi was good. The presentation on the sushi was nice also. read more

Pink Basil - First time here. Smells amazing can't wait to try the food - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mystic, Connecticut

Always reliable for a great meal. I usually go with Red Curry with chicken - they are able to make gluten-free (allergy) and I've NEVER had an issue with anything there. In fact, today I tried a new dish and the waitress was very accommodating to make sure it was okay for me to eat. Grateful for their consistency and the peace of mind that they understand how to take great care of customers! read more

Seriously delicious KETO meal that is available at lunch and dinner along with gluten-free sushi. This is a good place to dine when family and friends have different preferences and/or allergies. The Jean Michael's Choice with chicken option was so delicious that It didn't feel as though I was missing out on anything. If it is possible to have a guilt-free guilty pleasure, this is it. Our waitress was pleasantly helpful which added to the enjoyment of our meal. read more

I loved the village and the menu was very intriguing. Ambience was great. I love all the vines growing. The service was pretty good as well. The food was not bad, but it wasn't the best. read more

First time having lunch at this bistro. I enjoyed the ambiance sitting on the outdoor patio; the service and food were excellent. My wife and I ordered their version of beef pho, and it was delicious. I regret not taking pictures but recommend this location for its good food, ambiance, and wait service. read more

Awesome food every time we go. Never had a bad meal. Service and staff are great. One of the best sushi plates in the area.

The food was so delicious and fresh. We had lettuce wraps and what a treat! Three different sauces, plenty of chicken and fresh vegetables and romaine lettuce served artistically on a platter. We also ordered crab Rangoon filled with goodness and duck rolls. To top it off, a Dogfish beer and gin and tonic. Our server was very friendly and the atmosphere pink flowers. A definite must Asian restaurant close to Mystic Seaport and Mystic Aquarium. Outdoor dining is available but the weather was too cool to enjoy this ambiance. Be warned, 45 min wait for a table in the summer! read more

We dined in and got some rolls to go. Everything we tried was great! Pictured are 2 salads, the octopus and pepper seared tuna. We requested some ginger dressing with it because it did need a lil something else but was still fresh and delicious. The homemade dressing is different and not your typical ginger dressing but we really liked it! The curry puffs are the only things not made in house (not pictured) and done by someone locally and she does a great job with them! Pork potstickers were also yummy! Even simple rolls didn't disappoint. We had heard mixed reviews but we experienced a good time, first hand. Friendly staff is also a plus! read more

We stopped here while shopping before Christmas. We eat exotic food very often so we didn't know if this would hold up to our standards...boy did it. Loved everything we ordered and the portions were huge. We got the Thai BBQ, pumpkin sushi, ramen, chicken satay and one other dish. The flavors really came out in these dishes. I wished we lived closer so we could go more. Service was good, environment was nice, prices were fair...great food find! read more

We came in and sat down at 6 and were the only people sitting outside, and ordered very soon after. At 7:00 we sent someone in to see how much longer it would be since NO ONE came out to check on us for close to an hour, at 7:10 they brought out half our order and said it would be 15 minutes more for the two pad thais. I get kitchens getting backed up, but it seems pretty clear they just forgot our order- which again, totally fine if you just apologize instead of acting annoyed that we had the audacity to ask about our dinner. Will our Pad Thai have spit it in because we asked why it took over an hour to make? Who can say. read more

Kudos to Andy for great customer service. I ordered take out during a very busy time so I can be a little more forgiving but I was really unhappy with my food as s son as I opened it. When I called Andy immediately apologized and offered a replacement. I went back and was promptly given my order. It was everything I wanted it to be. Thank you read more

Food was okay. I ordered the pad thai and it was a very generous amount. Thought the calamari was very crispy and good. Comes with an assortment of deep fried veggies. We asked to be moved to a booth table but they said we couldn't even though there were 4 open booths. What I think pretty much ruined our meal was the fact that there was this extremely loud, obnoxious girl seated near us whose voice was resonating throughout the entire restaurant. Literally could not enjoy my food and could not focus on our own conversation. She was the only one in her family talking and just when we thought she'd stop talking to eat her food, she magically is still able to continue her boring story about her sorority. No one cares!! Her entire family seemed completely disinterested in her conversation as well. Seriously no one has taught her proper dining etiquette. This is precisely why we wanted to move to a booth chair so we could be far, far away from that annoying girl.... read more

The way they decorated the place, it feels magical. The patio has lights, flowers and butterflies. The noodles make you feel so good and warm inside. read more

Great Thai food close to home! Friendly service and wait time appropriate. I have enjoyed the pad Thai and various noodle dishes. You can turn up the heat but beware! You can ask them to put extra spice on the side if you desire. Recently, I have tried the sushi and I was so delighted at how fresh and tasty it was. I'll definitely be back for more. There is outdoor seating which is great as warm weather rolls in. It's a clean restaurant and the bathroom is too! I'm a stickler for clean bathrooms! Lol You will enjoy this restaurant and the fact that it's nestled in the Mystic Village will provide you with a great day of activities! read more

I've been going to Pink Basil since 2014, and probably 6 times a year ever since. The food and service has always been amazing, but something recently has changed. The last 3 times we've been in there have either been problems with the food not being good or the service being terrible or non existent. Our last visit, we stood at the front door for about 5 minutes without being acknowledged while no less than 5 employees were around us. I work at a busy restaurant so I understand the servers having other stuff to do and it not being their job, but someone could have at least said "someone will be right with you". It honestly felt like we were inconveniencing them when we finally talked to someone. The waiter finally came over after about 10 minutes and we ordered drinks which took another 10 minutes. The food was fine on this visit, but we have small kids and we asked for a spoon for our kids rice and the server acted surprised and completely forgot and offered us a plastic spoon as we were about to leave. I've never written a review before and I work in a restaurant as a sever so i feel badly doing it but someone needs to realize the service has gone way downhill recently and we will not be returning anytime soon. read more

Trying this place again. Came by with 3 others on Sat 3/25. We shared some sushi and spring rolls to start. Sushi was ok but felt apart too quickly it was too hard to hold. Every single piece will fall apart and that was a bit discouraging. I had not had NONYA fried rice in a while and decided to have it. I will say the rice flavors were not bad at all but was very surprising as it tasted more like a curry type fried rice which maybe it was supposed to taste like that but it wasn't clear in the description I read at the restaurant. So I came back home, logged in to see if I missed that the rice was supposed to taste almost like Indian curry; or anything about the taste or flavor but only see specific word "Malaysian famous fried rice". So perhaps this is a known fact that I didn't know. Again it tasted good to me but I can see how many others may not like that. I am more used to Thai fried rice and that is what I thought I was getting. We also order Pink Basil noodles and pad Thai The noodles were a bit undercooked but again everyone agreed the flavors were excellent and I have to add; everything had lots of meat. Service wasn't bad but the waitress came to our table with a credit card machine, and very loudly announced to the entire table the total instead of bringing me a bill to see and pay discreetly. I felt this was very unprofessional and does not allow for the person to at least look at the bill and confirm everything is there. I have had worst experience than this but don't think I will go back. This was my second attempt to give it a chance. Place looked nice and clean. read more

It was the best all around. I was in mystic for 4 weeks and ate there or had take out 2-3 a week from Pink Basil. High recommend

The food is mediocre. It is your average Thai/sushi restaurant. The server made my brother move a table for her as well as go outside and get his one chair. She then made me take the drinks from the drink tray and hand them out. she would stop and chat with people outside and also on the phone. Items I asked for were never brought to the table. If all this doesn't sound like a great experience it's not the worst part. On a $370 bill for terrible service the server then turns around before counting the money and says I didn't add gratuity to the bill. My father in law says you didn't even count the money. She had $100 tip and she turns to a co worker and says thats not even a lot for a big party. read more

I generally get the same meal...green curry with chicken or beef, or the chicken coconut soup. Never disappoints and is very reasonably priced. Sad they discontinued their grapefruit and shrimp salad it the laap salad is a good back up. Nice atmosphere and pleasant wait staff. read more

The food was good (we had Pad Thai) and service was prompt. But the place (12/20/22) was cold enough that we had to keep our coats on. I wore gloves until the food came. I'd have given four stars, at least, if it wasn't so cold in the restaurant. read more

I called ahead of ordering and asked for no MSG or spices for a soup for a sick friend. I was told it would be possible. I made the order through Grubhub and specified again, NO MSG or spices as my ill friend is allergic. The delivery was fine but the soup was so salty he could not eat it and had to throw it out. Grubhub refunded my order, but when I called to let them know, there was no offer to make it right. My ill friend was left without dinner as it was too late to order from another place. I am very disappointed that there was no effort made to make it right. It was not about the money, but sending food to a sick friend. read more

Great food! Great service! Anne was lovely. We were hungry and indecisive and ordered 4 entrees to share. The veggie pho and was packed with great noodles, veggies and a delicious broth. The pad see ew w tofu was good. Huge portions. We also got the pineapple curry and it was great. The chicken was tender and the broth was delicious. The khai soi was a flavor and texture blast. So good. Lastly we got the nonya curry and wow! The okra. The eggplant! The sauce. Tons of leftovers to go so we will enjoy this feast tmw. read more

This is the worst possible place to have a meal. Front desk was great but came the service. First we sat for about 7mins with not even a glass of water. Went to the front to ask what was going on with our table. They apologized and gave us a different server who didn't take the right order. It was just a horrible experience. read more

I feel bad leaving this review because the server was so nice and she tried really hard but we paid $130 for completely inedible food. All 4 of us could not eat our food. It was absolutely disgusting. We ordered chicken and shrimp teriyaki which tasted nothing like teriyaki. The broccoli was cold, the rice was absolutely atrocious and I ate one piece of shrimp and it was so gross I almost threw up. My kids got wonton soup and said that tasted weird too. I ordered a strawberry lime martini and it was not only disgusting but served in a wine glass instead of a martini glass. You would think when you told the server none of you liked your food and you didn't want to take it home when it was barely eaten at least one meal would be comped but nope. read more

Overly fried and dried out chicken. Overly fried crab rangoons. Paid extra for squid in curry. Hardly any squid. Rather disappointed. We always had great food from here over the years. Hopefully this is just a one time event. read more
