Went here for dinner in a large group without reservation or calling ahead and we were seated rather quickly as the friendly staff rushed to push tables together. The menu is easy to understand and they are serious about the 1-5 spice levels. I tried the Pad Thai and Fried Rice and the portion sizes were very impressive, definitely a great spot for a casual dining experience. As per any relatively new restaurant there are changes being made as I heard that dinner was at first a "order at the counter then seat yourself" versus now waiting to be seated. The decor was simple and low key. The food again, big portions, yet maybe more vegetables and more protein can be included? I didn't order a primarily veggie dish but the fried rice for instance had hardly any vegetables and egg which is what I look forward to in fried rice. The spice levels are to be taken seriously, I ordered a 1 level spice as I can not handle much and I was a bit surprised at the heat! Overall fun new restaurant, would suggest for large groups, kids, or take out. read more

The biggest issue was the sloooow service. A combination of the waiter taking an order from a party that was seated after we were and apparently the kitchen's emphasis on filling takeout orders made for a long wait. At least 3 other parties that arrived after us were served their food before we were served. Having been a waitress for many years, this is a cardinal rule: first in, first order taken, and depending on what was ordered, either an app or main dish, the first served. We did not order any drinks so that was not the issue. At one point our server took our salad plates and asked us if we were ready for our check! So we had to tell him we were still waiting for our food! Combination of poor management and lack of server training? The kitchen thing also needs to be addressed. The food is good. read more

Stopped for lunch on my way to Missoula. I was expecting genuine pho when I ordered the beef pho. It was about $5 more than I've paid for a small bowl anywhere.There was no small plate with bean sprouts, basil leaves, and jalapeno slices to add in. There were bean sprouts added into the soup, hereafter called soup, and some shredded basil leaves in it. The beef was round steak and meatballs. The meatballs were as big as large marbles. There was a good amount of meat in the soup, but since the bowl is very small it really wasn't that much. Noodles in the soup were not traditional rice noodles. All that said, it was real good soup. Very beefy broth which is critical in good soup. I had tea with the soup and it was good. Excellent friendly servers. I had a good bowl of soup, a cup of tea, left a tip and it was $20. Seems a bit much! read more

One of the better Pad Thai's in Bozeman .... if only they added bamboo shoots. The take away is quick and convenient. I need to try the dine in service sometime. read more

We order pickup or delivery from here almost weekly. They pad Thai and the orange chicken are amazing. The orange chicken isn't the overly sweet boring commercial kind it's got a lot of flavor instead of lots of sugar and is really good to add some heat to. Our food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. read more

There was amazing service, the employees are just amazing! You can expect a lot from Thai Basil, they won't disappoint u!!!

Driving through Bozeman, stopped here 7 minutes before they closed for takeout. They said sorry, they had already closed their kitchen.

My new favorite spot! Great Thai flavors and everything we've tried has been great but my FAVORITE, by far, are the stir fried dishes. The vegetables are so crispy with super flavorful sauce, unlike some places with limp soggy vegetables and little flavor. They do a much better job than I can at home. Love love love the Fried Spicy stir fry Dish, I could eat it at least once a week. We usually do Take-out and it arrives home still hot & crispy. read more

We tried Thai Basil. Maybe it was an off night, but the food was sub-par compared to other Thai restaurants we have enjoyed, and was also over priced. We won't be back. read more

We've been eating there sinew they opened. Food was inconsistent . Recently, it's been consistently good !!! I'd recommend it:)

Im not a guy that would usually go for Thai but I wanted something different and I was not disappointed it was really good

We stopped in on our way through, traveling back to Indiana, for lunch. My wife had the spicy basil and I had the massaman curry. As we arrived at the tail end of lunch, it seemed that our waitress was busy with other duties. Took what seemed forever to get a refill of water. Meanwhile the curry could have been spicier and the waitress forgot to ask for this level. My wife was very happy with the spicy basil dish. read more

Order my food for delivery, first of all there's aren't any utensils packed with my food upon delivered , I called the restaurant and the woman replied sorry there's nothing she can do, I'm in a hotel room and she expected me to eat with my hands. Second of all the foods I ordered especially the beef salad is very watering and the beef was chewy, I end up tossed in the garbage, my others food was not up to par as well.. I would not recommend this restaurant "Thai Basil" read more

Underwheming and overpriced food, awkward service and experience. Would be better as a fast casual place like the building was intended rather than table service. Portions are too small and food is bland. I ordered the lunch special Thai mixed vegetables which had very little flavor and just too small of a portion. The server was not friendly at all and I couldn't wait to leave. read more

I loved the Drunken Noodles, and it also helps that the beer inside Outlaw is all fantastic as well. Spring rolls were delicious, just all together a fantastic meal. Great service, a little pricy, but great location right next to Outlaw. Definitely will be back for late lunches to get a beer from Outlaw as well. read more

Met a friend here for an early dinner. I got the fried rice with a little spice and chicken added. It was okay. The rice was flavored good but the chicken wasn't very flavorful. However, our waiter was super attentive and kind. Very good service! read more

I've had Thai food all over the world! Very pleasantly surprised to have the real deal in Bozeman MT of all places! You won't be disappointed! read more

I was a little skeptical of this place due to the reviews I read but the food was good. Not the best Thai I've ever had and a little pricey but for Bozeman it was good. The decor was minimal and kind of plain which is unlike most Thai restaurants. I would come back here but just be sure to adjust your expectations before eating here because it'll be different than compared to a Thai place in Seattle or LA read more

Very mediocre and overpriced, sadly. My Pad See Ew was dry and the salad/soup bar was disappointing. I felt like the spiciness on my noodles was compensating for a lack of flavor. I did like the veggies in the dish but wished there was more! The staff was really nice though! read more

Thai basil has a great atmosphere, amazing and authentic Thai food. I love to come here because their staff are always so pleasant and engaging with my two daughters. It is hard to find places like this in Bozeman anymore where you don't feel like a fish out of water because you have kids. read more

While picking up takeout I counted no less than 5 employees wearing masks incorrectly (below the nose) or not at all. In addition, other customers were allowed inside without masks. Next time I won't be able to patronize a business that is so careless with the lives and health of their own employees and customers. (Don't forget -- the point of wearing a mask is to protect others!) It's too bad because (1) the food was good, and (2) such a small effort can make such a big difference in avoiding tragedy. I hope Thai Basil soon joins most other places in Bozeman in doing this right -- we only have to get through a few more months of this. read more

The staff is friendly and organized even on a busy Friday evening. The noodle dishes were tasty and a great value for the price. We always have some to snack on the next day. Definitely a gem in Bozeman. read more

Earns two stars because the shrimp panang curry was decent but not great. I spent a month in Thailand last year and imho this food is not good compared to the authentic Thai food I had there. Everything I've tried (went there twice to give it a 2nd chance) was overly seasoned/spiced with garlic and fish sauce---and not in a good way. The price point also definitely did not match the quality of the food at all. The pork "spring rolls" were the worst---just a thick lump of garlicky meat inside a deep fried egg roll wrapper. Left my tummy very unhappy. Sorry, but I won't be back. read more

Best Thai in town! Absolutely the most affordable, most delicious, and actually spicy Thai food! The wait staff is so sweet and accommodating. read more

Hands down, best Thai in town! I love that they have vegan options--including their Thai iced tea. It is pricey, but not overwhelming and the portions are enough to split or take the rest home for another meal. I had the yellow curry and it was so fresh tasting with that kick of spice. Will be coming back for more! read more

See all

I will never recommend or eat here again. The wait staff was incompetent and the management was confrontational. I told the manager that I would not continue a conversation that was getting hostile in front of my daughter and he told me to "step outside" four different times he ignored my request to stop talking. The sad part was that the female owner was in the back of the restaurant, knowing what was going on, and never once came out to stop her employee. I was given the excuse that she didn't speak English. Haha, she spoke it fine when she was away the soup/ salad bar. Ive heard of the bad things that have happened here before but didn't realize the depth. I cannot wait for their doors to close. I had to give it a one star because I didn't have the choice to give it no stars. read more

Went here for take out. Restaurant was open and looked like a nicer Panda Express. The fried veggie rolls were great, just wish there was more than 3 of them in an order. We also got the drunken noodles which we ordered 4 out of 5 on the spice level and it didn't seem that spicy and not that flavorful either. Also had the Panang curry with chicken which was ok... nothing special. It came in a plastic container which we can use again but I'm not a fan of them using plastic like that. Something more eco friendly to throw away after someone is done with their meal. Overall, I'm not sure I would come here again. read more

We have waited a long time for an authentic Thai restaurant with fresh ingredients. I enjoyed the Red Curry with chicken and it was as good as it gets. Wife ordered the Pad Thai which she described as delicious and a repeat. We are excited to finally have a Thai restaurant of this quality in town and over time, they will only keep getting better and perfect the Thai food experience. read more

Really great flavors and authentic choices. Tasty beverages and good service as well. I had the special Thai salad, it was beautifully presented and one of the best dressings in recent memory. The Pad Khind was beautiful as well, very fresh veggies and superb knife work. My server was attentive and took good care of me and I had a relaxing and enjoyable lunch. read more

This is easily the best thai food in Bozeman. I regularly order through Cafe Courier. While it is pricey compared to other delivery Asian food in town, the serving sizes easily make up for the price. Two entrees last several meals for me. The menu is fairly simple but very good. Overall very solid restaurant. read more

I love that there is some diversity in food in Montana, I just wish Thai Basil was more consistent. I wanted to give it some time before making a review. I have eaten there now about 5 times. Of the 5 times, 3 were really good....and 2 were fair to poor. If we were simply grading this it would be a C-. Maybe good for Bozeman? Good example, last order we got our meals with basically no sauce...pretty dry. Our orders were not sitting around so it wasn't a timing issue. Our orange chicken had no, i repeat, no sauce. Our pad thai had little to no peanut sauce. I loved the spices the 3 times it was good to exceptional. I guess its just a hit and miss. I wish it would hit on all cylinders as my orders are never cheap and I hate feeling like I wasted my money. I love supporting the local food scene, this place just needs to step it up. read more

Very disappointing. The Pho was not authentic at all. The vegan member of our party wanted vegetables, but the amount of vegetables they put on the noodles was a disgrace. You can get the same thing from PandaExpress for pennies compared to this place. Overpriced and the service was awkward. Would not recommend for those looking for authentic or healthy Thai food. read more

This place was great. The service was great. Megan our server was friendly and top of her game. The food was delicious. I had the yellow curry and it awesome kick to. The flavor was spot on. I highly recommend this place. read more

Great food, friendly staff, nice decor. Ordered the Tom Kha soup and Pad Thai, because got to start with the classics, amiright?! I will come back if I am in town again. read more

I called in an order on Valentines day and once arriving to the location I realized how packed it was. I was amazed to see the coordination of the staff and the absolutely amazing customer service I had received. The food was amazing and the service was even better. Thank you Thai Basil for being a fantastic venue for Thai food! - AJ read more

Can't say enough good things about this place! The food is amazing! Very clean and great vibes. You can't find any better than a family owned and operated restaurant this amazing...not to mention Veteran owned and operated with his amazing wife! Thank you Thai Basil for a wonderful experience! There were so many amazing options on the menu as well, my fiancé is not a fan of spicy food and they cooked his meal to his preference which was above and beyond what you normally experience....he is now a fan of Thai Basil! read more

Best Thai in the state! Loved your food truck and are so glad you opened a restaurant!

This used to be my favorite restaurant a few months ago, but tonight the food was delivered without sauce, leaking from containers, missing items, & tasteless & flavorless. Frankly sad, but seemed to have completely given up on flavor or quality. read more

This restaurant always is consistent in their food. Whatever we order it's always just as tasty. Also when you order "to go" orders the portions are really big which I feel like is very uncommon. I feel like even though maybe basil's prices are a little bit spendy at least you actually get food for it. Also they put fresh pineapple in the pineapple fried rice not just canned stuff! I'm a total fan!! read more

Time and time again this place provides consistent, fresh and satisfying food. Our favorite dishes are the green curry (seriously, this is to die for) and the Thai mixed vegetables with chicken. Recently I had the pork udon soup and I was BLOWN away it was so full of flavor. Don't forget to start with the tiger bombs, you won't be disappointed! Most of the time we get 2 meals out of each entree! read more
