Hubby and I drove up from Roseville to Auburn (a quick 20 minute drive for us) specifically to try this restaurant. The restaurant is spotless and charming. Two small dining rooms, we chose the one on the left with the big and bright picture window overlooking the street. We ordered the Panang Salmon dish to share, along with a small house salad, and Tom Yum soup to share as well. The soup was delicious and spiced perfectly for us requesting a "1" spice level. The mushrooms were fresh and the broth was absolutely delicious. The house salad greens were so fresh and crispy and nice. The Salmon dish was just enough for the two of us to share. We left very satisfied and want to return again and again!

We visited at 2 PM on a Friday for lunch, and we were the only customers at this late hour (they close at 2:30 PM and reopen later for dinner). Ambiance was good, restaurant was clean, and there was ample seating. Service was great, very attentive (well, we were the only customers!). Menu selection was varied. Pricing was average. The four of us ordered: Pra Ram with chicken, Pad See Ew with chicken, Yellow curry with chicken, and Red curry with chicken. Dishes were flavorful (but not as flavorful as my favorite bay area Thai restaurant). Portions were good. Food was served quickly. Nice to have Asian food options in Auburn!

I ordered the Pad Mee Kow or Drunken Noodles with Beef just based off Yelp photos. I don't normally order this dish, but it's the best I've had. Noodles intact and not stuck together. Lots of beef. Not the most tender meat, so maybe pork would be better. On my next lunch visit, I ordered Pad Ka Prow with Ground Pork & Brown Rice and a small Crystal Noodles Soup. You can choose a spice level from 1 (mild) to 5 (most spicy). I chose level 3, but I probably would be happier with level 1 or 2. Choice of jasmine rice or brown rice. I enjoyed the chewy texture and appearance of the brown rice. Pad Ka Prow is tasty. I loved the Crystal Noodles Soup. It's seasoned well with lots of ingredients, like chicken, wood ear mushrooms, and Napa cabbage. There are 5 different soups that you can order as a Small portion, including Tom Yum, Tom Kha, and Wonton Soup. I look forward to trying more soups. I liked the ambiance, pretty Thai decor, muted green dining room, and easy listening music, often love songs. Thai Basil would be a good restaurant for a date. Service was willing to answer my questions and identify dishes from photographs for me.

They warn you that this places spicy level is thai level. 1-5 is the goal. We got a 2 and it was already pretty nice and spicy. I am glad they let us know. Inside is quaint and cute.

All You Can Eat-ish... Bar-B-Que…read more.. I was excited to find out there was a Mongolian BBQ in Auburn. For weeks, my coworker and I have been trying to get our schedules lined up so we can go try it out together. Finally, tonight was that night. We parked in a large parking lot around the corner and noticed it was not busy. One of the employees was sitting outside (outdoor seating is available) on his phone, but he was so welcoming and opened the door for us. He took us to a booth and gave us the run down. Sit. Order your drinks, and go get food. Go back for more, because it's ayce... Tony was really nice and had a great smile! He told us how it works - The server would be over to get out drink order. Then, she brought us some crispy wonton chips with some sweet & sour, a cup of soup each, and a small bowl of rice to share... although there are signs that say "do not share," lol. I'm not sure why you can't share if everyone is paying the same price and eating almost the same exact thing... especially, if it's ayce for everyone... It was exciting to see what they had to offer. After finishing the soup, we walked around the wall to fill your bowl with meats (choice of pork, chicken, beef, or lamb), noodles, vegetables, and at the very end, the flavorful liquid. These liquids make your dish. You can put on a simple teriyaki, but that will make it sweet. There is a house sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, wine, vinegar, and kung pao sauce. If you aren't sure what you like, there is a "Sum's Sauce Recommendation" recipe up for your convenience. **Be sure to tip the grill cooks!! The best way I have noticed to do this is to grab 2 bowls. One of for your food and the other, you will want to fill to the at least half way with your liquids. The saucier the better with me! I spoke to the cashier in the front... who told me it's $21 to dine in, and $17 to take it to go since the person taking theirs to go wouldn't be ayce.... (never mentioning the extra charge.) When we sat down, it felt like something in it was missing... maybe a little salt? Usually, I nail my own sauce recipes. Good amount of soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger... garlic, chili oil... a little kung pao... Since we weren't too happy with the flavor of our first bowl, and finished just over half... and this was an ayce... we decided to go back and tweak our creation. This one had better flavor (I added A LOT of soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil), but I seriously could still not taste the sesame oil and this trip, and I used a lot (is there such thing as sesame water?). Then, I wondered if they were using low sodium soy sauce (i asked, and it was regular). I'm wondering if all these sauces are watered down since the soy sauce and ginger sauce were lacking major flavor. The sesame oil couldn't even be detected... so either it is old or a not so good brand. I figured I would just take the rest home and fix up the flavor... and since I overheard a server offer to box someone's meal up...I thought that was neat that we were able to take out food home...turns out... we had to pay to take home the rest of our bowls(extra$9), or pay extra to not take it home... a "waste" charge(extra$8). When we first walked in and we asked how this Mongolian BBQ worked, they left out the part about paying for waste/ or taking home the rest of your food for a charge. If we had not gone back for a 2nd bowl, we would not have had to pay the extra charge because we would've just not finished it and left. I felt a little ripped off. Of course, after we were ready to pay, they pointed to the sign on the wall that we did not see... in fairness, we did ask how they operated and we were told to go get more... but we were not told about the extra charge. I felt cheated. Over all, it was not bad, it just was not good. It was edible, but definitely not worth the extra charge.. i didn't even want to bring it home, but with the extra charge, I figured I would fix it up at home to make it taste better. This brought our bill to close to $60... $30 split each. Not worth it. I feel like a great honest business that is confident in what they serve would have been up front about the charges before springing them on you in the end. They even brought us the bill without the extra charge when they noticed we were close to finishing, but then took the check back to add on the extra charge. The signs should have been pointed out. Service was great. Food was not anything to be excited about. Day after, I warmed up my food with a few drops of a sesame oil that I have.. it added 10 times more flavor than the 2 ladles of soy sauce and 3 ladles of sesame oil that I added at this restaurant.

Agreed this location is weird. Have been to this one 3 times and kept giving it a chance but I…read morethink we are done. Other locations have been great. The staff here is odd, last time, they forgot my tomatoes and when I asked them if I could have some they said I asked for no tomatoes (not true, but my husband did, his correctly did not have tomatoes), I found it weird they felt the need to tell me I asked for no tomatoes, which was not even true. But also why try to give a person a hard time about something that is standard on a sandwich? Also they refused to give us more than one stamp on our sandwich reward card saying it's one stamp per order, while the card clearly states "buy 9 SANDWICHES get the 10th one free". I said "your card says buy nine sandwiches and get the 10th free not anything about 9 orders" and she said "well that's just the way it is per our owner". So, let me get this straight... a person could come in here and get 9 solo sandwiches over time and get their 10th one for free, but if someone buys their family of 4 sandwiches, they don't get a free sandwich until they have ordered 9 times, potentially meaning 35 sandwiches to get a free sandwich? Or what, you want them to place each sandwich order separately so they can get a stamp for each single sandwich? Would that be better? What sense does that make? You are penalizing the people who spend more money per order and buy more sandwiches overall! The cards are printed clearly wrong if that's really the way it works, but honestly I think they are just being cheap. Sorry for the rant, but I think it shows the staff there wants to die on the stupidest hill of not having customers in mind. "No tomatoes for you! No stamps for you!" Don't think we will be back.
