Wow this place is really good!! It is small but is authentic Thai food. We were a party of 10 and they made their best and sit us together. We tried different plates, don't remember too much the names but you can order everything and select the type of spicy you want. Mine was with none since I can't handle it but my friends went to all over and were crying and sweating lol My Pad Thai was super tasty I added shrimp and steak and it was perfect. Big portions. To start I had the wonton soup IT WAS AMAZING! Big bowl plenty of soup. I also order the shrimp with veggie roll (cant remember the name) wasn't impressed, no flavour. I guess I needed to add the spicy sauce that comes with it. Service was really nice. Definitely we will be back next year when we visit read more

Now they know they could've gave us the proper portion of rice for our curry. We had the red curry with chicken and salmon. The chicken was nice and fresh, but the salmon was horrible. I hate to say this but The texture of the salmon was very close to jerky. It was extremely dry and definitely old. I must say, I was very disappointed. We also ordered the chicken dumplings. We asked for them to be fried but they were steamed. The chicken inside were like a sausage over powering the dumpling itself. I was really excited to try this place out especially coming from Indiana for our family vacation! read more

I was in the Pigeon Forge area in early July and my boyfriend and I were craving Asian cuisine after a long day in the sun and this place had better reviews so we decided to head out to Sevierville for some takeout. I ordered the Thai Beef Lettuce (Yum Neur), Drunken Noodles with Chicken, and a Papaya Salad (Som Tum). It was all extremely disappointing and was not authentic tasting at all! My Thai Beef Lettuce was the SMALLEST SERVING I have ever seen before. There were maybe 5 prices of thinly sliced beef, 6 pieces of chopped cucumbers, and 4 tomatoes with way too much sauce in the container. It didn't even fill up half the takeout container and they gave me a small wedge of lettuce, which I couldn't even eat it with the lettuce bc there wasn't enough food in the plate. The taste wasn't great either. I only had two bites of this because that is all there was enough for. The Papaya Salad was very bland and didn't have any sauce. Only took one bite from this. The drunken noodles were okay and pretty much the only thing we ate and had to split because they packed the container full of noodles. It did lack authentic flavors, but we were so hungry that we ate the whole dish. We ended up throwing away the two salads and had to go get more food elsewhere. I was so let down because I have been to a Thai Basil restaurant elsewhere and it was really good and authentic so I'm not sure what happened here. No pictures because we threw away more than half of our food. read more

Yep, this is the place to eat in this area. We've had the awesome opportunity to have traveled to Thailand and enjoy true authentic Thai food. This place is one of the top "back in the states" we've found and we're always looking! We had 3 different dishes and all were exceptional. Each with unique tastes. (Some places all dishes taste the same within their seasoning). Portions were big, we will enjoy our leftovers tomorrow! So didn't mind the prices. Service was friendly and professional. read more

Friendly service and good food. Good portions and fresh veggies. Will definitely come back. read more

I am from Miami, I've ate at a lot of Thai restaurants years worth .. This spot has a problem that they cut corners with protein .. very minimal ingredients .. tasty but needs much improvement .. serve to please not for profit my tip to the restaurant read more

Coming from New York and Chicago, I am spoiled by good Thai food. After being in Pigeon Forge for the better part of the week, I was ready for some authentic Asian food. In short, this hit the spot. I started with the shrimp spring rolls and was curious about the ginger sauce from reading it on the menu. It's not the standard peanut hoisin sauce that typically comes with this but it was a different take. Be prepared for a kicking sauce! Not spicy but certainly gingery. Also the spring rolls used iceberg lettuce instead of the romaine that is typically used in these. Different than what I expected but still good. I ordered mama's drunken noodles and was pleased with presentation and taste. Spicy but loved the mix of vegetables, noodles, eggs, etc. The noodles used look like Ramen noodle bit aren't. These are nice and soft, not mushy. The only thing I didn't like was the dish being a little oily / greasy. Otherwise I liked them. Service was very pleasant and the owner recognized my family and I were from out of town and took the time to say hello and make sure everything ok. Very welcoming! I'll definitely be back if we come back to Tennessee! read more

Thanks to yelp we found this gem! We got the chicken satay and shared the chicken pad Thai. The chicken satay was excellent and we ate those so quickly!

Excellent food. Wonderful service. I highly recommend seeking out this gem of a place. Instead of naming one or two dishes, I recommend exploring the menu and enjoying the flavors. Yup! Obviously, I am a fan of the place. read more

Everything tasted amazing! They have vegan options, which is important to me and my fiancé. Our server was so kind and made sure we had everything we needed! We also loved how quiet and cozy it was! read more

Chicken in the Pad Thai was tough...plus the dish itself was unusually dry for this dish. Same chicken was used in the coconut soup was the same. Sorry, we will not be a repeat customer. read more

**vegan review** Staff very helpful in identifying which dishes can be made vegan. I had massaman curry with extra veggies medium spice, and pad Thai. We had fried tofu for an appetizer. We had enough left over for 2 more meals, so it's a bargain. read more

Amazing authentic Thai food. Probably the only authentic Thai food in the area. Came with a group of 4 for a late lunch. We started off with the crab meat cheese rolls, shrimp rolls, fried pot stickers and coconut soup (Tom Kha). I especially liked the coconut soup, very creamy and flavorful. We had the Thai style fried rice and drunken noodles which were both amazing. I like that you can customize the spicy level too. We also had the thai iced coffee and thai iced tea which were delicious. I think my first time having authentic thai iced coffee. Definitely come here! read more

Drove here from Knoxville intentionally to try this place out.... though I wouldn't recommend you doing that at all - this place was good. The smaller meal sizes were ideal for us and for lunch. The lemon grass soup was sooooo good, the basil rolls were just okay for me -- the sauce that came with was delicious though. I also ordered the Massaman Curry which was on par with the best I've had. Small, intimate place with a friendly, efficient staff. Prices were good. read more

Heard lots of good things about this place. I didn't feel that it met my expectations as an "authentic" Thai place though. Food was good, but just not authentic. Portions were good, and when I say good I mean it's not gigantic. Just right. I appreciate that... as I rather have quality over quantity. And I DO believe that the quality is fairly good. Just something is missing, a tiny little something. Way it didn't earn that 4th star was experience. There was none. Walk in, get seated, orders taken, food served, thank you and bye. Nothing wrong with that as that's the majority of sit down restaurants. But I feel that if you're gonna be a specialty restaurant, especially a locally owned small business, service should excel, and experience should be attempted to stand out in some way some how, no matter how little they attempt is. Here, there was no attempt. Regardless, my visit was positive... just probably would not go out of my way to visit. read more

This place exceeded my hubby and I's expectations! We were craving Thai and decided to take a chance on Thai Basil- they knocked it out of the park! Server was super sweet and helpful, food came out SO fast even though the place was pretty full, and they had my favorite Thai dessert- mango sticky rice! Affordable prices for good food- we've eaten at quite a few places while in TN and you don't feel like garbage after your meal! lol read more

I'd give 0 if I could. Went here on a Wednesday night, and they were slammed, which is fine... But we didn't even get acknowledged for probably at least 10 minutes... at which point we got seated at a table that was open 10 minutes prior. Then we ordered an appetizer, two entrees, and two drinks, as soon as the waiter came to our table, which probably took another 15 minutes. We got water 15 minutes later, and the appetizer 15 minutes after that. Entrees were another 30-45 minutes... and we noticed that two of the tables that arrived after us, and ordered after us, had already gotten their entrees. At that point, if the food was good, I'd have been fine. Unfortunately, it wasn't. I got Pad Thai, and the shrimp, beef and egg, all had a decent amount of burn on them... which caused the entire entree to have a burnt taste to it. Considering how popular this place is, it was extremely disappointing. read more

We had a wonderful meal tonight in a welcoming atmosphere. Starting with Thai Iced Teas and the 9-pc sampler appetizer, everything was so good. Our 9-yr-old craves pad Thai (just like me). Husband got a cashew pork dish with lots of veggies. This is the meal, and the service, we'll remember from vacation. No hustle and bustle, plenty of fresh options and loads of hospitality. See you again, when we come this way! read more

Occasion: vacation dinner with family Overall: horrible service, dirty cutlery, not authentic food and it just couldn't be worse. Service: like some of the people mentioned in their reviews, if you go during a busy night you can be guaranteed with poor service. It's clear the restaurant is understaffed! There were 5 tables available when we arrived but we had to wait for over 10min to be seated! The only acknowledgment we got was "just a sec"... the second in this restaurant must be very long! Cutlery: I never mentioned such things in my previous reviews because I'm not someone who always check every plate or cutlery. Left a picture as evidence. See it for yourself. Food: the food is not authentic and it's very intense - feels like someone just put way too much salt and sugar in everything. We ordered the followings: - papaya salad: is it papaya salad or carrot salad? It looked and tasted like carrot salad to me! - coconut soup: not authentic. Just tasted intense. - massaman curry with chicken and shrimp: 3 super thinly sliced avocado (I had to search for it). $4 extra for just 4 shrimps. - pad see ew with beef: looks burned and had to search for beef. - drunk noodles with pork: way too intense and had to search for pork AGAIN! - Rama curry with chicken: way too sweet! - conclusion: the only meat they gave out a lot is chicken, so order chicken! Luckily this is just for vacation. I'm glad where I live have so many good Thai options. Recommendations to owner: - why even bother to have a sign "please wait to be seated" if you don't even have time to seat your guests? - You must save a lot on food cost so please buy some new cheap plastic spoons! read more

Delicious! This place was phenomenal! The service and the food recommendations from the waitress was on point. We had the drunken noodles & Manassan curry. If we come back to TN this is a must! Some of this best food in TN! Yumm read more

Delicious, fresh and fast. This was a pleasant surprise. The papaya salad was awesome

Service was great - pleasant & fast! Food was authentic & delicious. Many options for our diets (vegetarian & dairy free)

Okay, so we have been living around the corner from this hidden gem for 3 years! I can't believe it! We have been meaning to come check it out - especially since all the Yelpers were so impressed with it but one thing led to another - as it does and we never made it! Last time we make that mistake! Kudos to Yelpers as they never or seldom ever lead a bod astray! I had the Red Curry as recommended by our lovely waitress. My hubby had the cashew chicken. Both were great choices, so much so in fact I ate every last bite of mine (mind you this is our first meal and last after so much) and hubber ate 90% of his. We had planned on ordering chicken lamb for an app but forgot after chatting with the waitress and now I'm glad we didn't because I am stuffed to the gills!!! The restaurant is in a strip shopping center and is small but it is super clean and has a very nice atmosphere, much more so than most strip shopping center cafes and restaurants. Everybody around us also seemed to be thoroughly enjoying their meals and the staff seemed to recognize a couple of diners/take out patrons. read more

Maybe the best Thai food I have ever had!! Was not expecting how good this place was. A little under staffed, but oh my the food was amazing!!

I don't give out 5 stars normally, but the food was worth it. read more

Delicious! My family ordered take out from Thai Basil during our spring break trip to the Smoky Mountains. We shared Pad Thai, Red Curry, Thai Style Fried Rice, and Garlic Sauce Stir Fry.

We were in town on vacation and stopped in. We had Rama Curry, Vegetable Delight, Pineapple Fried Rice, Rainbow Stir fry and Fresh Basil Shrimp spring rolls. It was all amazing! We absolutely enjoyed our meal. It was a busy place for 45 minutes before closing. The staff was minimal but nice and efficient. Prices were reasonable for the good food. Portions were not huge but were just enough not to have left overs. The spice levels were major. We all had medium and we like spice. It was plenty spicy. We recommend this place to those who like real Thai. read more

Great prices for lunch! Open only for select hours of the day. For $8.50 I had drunken noodles with a choice of a starter and I had the spring rolls. Very good taste and great menu selection. A true hidden gem! read more

Thai Basil Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

This was probably one of the worst Thai restaurants I have ever been to. Coming from a Lao family it was not authentic at all. The portions are TINY, and it was so expensive. We got the basil fried rice and the rice literally came out wet and it was way too sweet. The pad kee mao was also too sweet and had none of that fried wok taste that its supposed to have. So save your money and don't come here if you know what AUTHENTIC Thai food really is. read more

When you think of Sevierville, you think of Thai food right? The same town that brings you all you can eat pancakes and every food chain in the world also has a place with amazing Thai food? That makes about as much sense as keeping up Christmas decorations all year round. Oh wait... I can't explain it but Thai Basil is just what this "Branson wannabe town" needed; incredibly authentic Thai food. After a long drive from the hills of Virginia, I gave my beautiful fiancé the impossible task of finding good Thai food on our way home. I couldn't believe my blue peepers when "Miss thang" showed me the Yelp reviews for this place. We strolled in and my heart sank when I saw only Caucasians working there. "Please God, (I prayed) let there be talented people of Thai origin in the kitchen. We were hungry enough to eat the a$$ end off a bear so I swallowed my pride and smiled at the sweet blonde waitress. To be fair, there was a waitress of Thai origin on the floor too. We ordered spring rolls right off the bat. These puppies were so fresh from the oil, my lips almost blistered. They nailed the texture but needed more than just cabbage (I believe) inside of them. My love ordered the same thing she always orders since the beginning of time; spicy basil shrimp. They totally nailed that one! I ordered the Tom Kha soup and it had a perfect balance of sweet, spicy and sour that brought tears to my shocked eyes. The food came fast and furious with no complaints from our hungry eyes. I ordered the national dish of Thailand Pad Thai and you better bet they nailed that one too! The food was first rate and our waitress was spectacular. The next time you are on Interstate 40 headed north or south, forget 'gut busting chains' you can find anywhere along the highway and try Thai Basil. You can thank me later... read more

I recieved a meal that had an ingredient that was not on the menu description. It was covered in fish sauce and smelled rancid. I sent it back and ordered something else. They charged me for both meals. Even though th dish had an ingredient that was not shown in the menu. They were rude and even the manager was disrespectful. I will never go back. read more
