    Smoky Roll, Master Dragon Roll, and Hawaiian Roll
    Josh J.

    I love this place! We thought we had a good bead on sushi in the NKY area, but some friends put this place on our radar and we are super glad they did. The sushi from Sweet Basil is top notch - it is pricey, but you get what you pay for. Highly recommend the Master Dragon Roll, and my favorite, the Hawaiian Roll. They also have great Thai food as well, especially the Massaman curry, which is some of the best I have had anywhere. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the place has low-key decor and a laid-back vibe. On the whole, one of the better sushi places on our list - try it for yourself and see!

    Chicken Coconut Soup
    Richard B.

    Very impressive. We arrived early was let in kindly with water while things were getting ready for the dinner crowd. We ordered Spring Rolls, Chicken Coconut Soup and Massaman Curry. Everything was excellent. So so good. One thing to add the whole place seemed very clean. The bathroom was spotless. I think that says a lot about a restaurant. Give them a try. It's better now than it ever was before. Very impressive.

    Pad Kee Mao (drunken Noodles) with chicken
    Emily M.

    My first visit here will not be my last! It is tucked away with easy parking and friendly service. I had Pad Kee Mao (drunken Noodles) with chicken and our server was helpful as we all decided what spice level to order. My meal was delicious and I loved the presentation. It wasn't too crowded at dinner time and next time I'm visiting family in NKY I'll recommend we all go again!

    Red curry with tofu and veggies
    Vandana M.

    We went to this place for dinner with our work team on a weeknight. The food was good, I got red curry with tofu and veggies. This one of the good red curries I've eaten in a while. My team mates got a boat of sushi and they seemed to enjoy it. Service was helpful. Our server made recommendations for the size of sushi boat and the spice level we should get. I really appreciate it when servers take interest in the guest's dining experience and make recommendations. The place was decorated like a normal Thai restaurant. Parking was plenty outside of the restaurant. Good place all in all. I'll go again.

    Miso soup
    Eileen B.

    Went here for lunch on a rainy day and I ordered the miso soup to warm me up. I also got the veggie Pad Thai and my wallet and I were very happy They have a big lunch menu and dinner menu and their sushi selections are vast. You can watch them make your sushi. I will definitely be back and try something new

    Been a long time customer of Sweet Basil starting out out their original location across the street. They always have consistent fresh delicious sushi. Paired with an ice cold Saparo makes the perfect dining experience. If your wanting better than the average sushi in Cincinnati, Sweet Basil is a place to try.

    We stopped in here one night after flying back from vacation. They were close to closing to I know that sucks for them but we were so grateful they seated us anyway. It's been a long, tiring flight and we were super hungry. There were four of us in our party. Our server was amazing and funny! The food was absolutely fantastic. Everyone in my party thought it was great. We ate quickly so they could shut down. No one complained or was rude. As a matter of fact, it was just the opposite. Thank you for your generosity and a delicious meal!

    Food is fresh and flavorful, we usually get caryout and allow extra time if it's sushi. All of their noodle dishes are so good.

    A coworker and I were just a few blocks down the road when lunch time hit and we wanted something…read morequick and easy. After a search on Yelp we landed on Thai Pavillion and I'm so glad we did. Here's why... 1) I ordered on their website and it was a very seamless process. I liked that we were even able to select how spicy we wanted our food on a number scale. 2) The pick up time was not long after we ordered, even with it being in the middle of the busy lunch hour. 3) There's parking directly out front so I was able to simply pull up, throw my flashers on, and run in. It was there waiting for me when I arrived. 4) We both ordered the same thing, the pad Thai (spice level 1) with shrimp. We also shared an order of vegetable spring rolls. It came out to about $50 and that included a $5 tip. We both really liked what we got, but I'll stick with my specific opinion. The spring rolls were crispy and definitely hit the spot as an appetizer. As for the pad Thai, it was a great portion size, the spice level was exactly what I wanted, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. It didn't have an overwhelming amount of bean sprouts, which was appreciated. The sauce was rich in flavor and the noodles were just right. We both agreed that we would order from here again. It was the best pad Thai I've had in a while. Definitely give them a try!

    I ordered the Royal Seafood for take out. Spice level 2 yesterday. Level 3 today…read more Delicious. Also got the spring rolls. Very nice. Only waited 5 minutes both days. Super friendly.
