    Went back to Basil Thai for a work lunch, this time a little later in the day around 2 PM. The place was quiet and almost empty, which made for a peaceful dining experience. Service was incredibly fast, and the food was just as reliable as ever. I had the chicken Pad Thai, ordered medium hot, though in hindsight I could've gone for Thai hot--it still had a bit of sweetness to it that I'd love to balance out with more heat. Their egg roll and soup were as refreshing as always--light, flavorful, and a great way to start the meal. The location is super convenient, with ample parking available, which is always a plus during busy workdays. The restaurant itself is clean, calm, and has a welcoming interior that makes it easy to relax and take a breather in the middle of a hectic schedule. The kind, attentive service adds to the experience, making Basil Thai one of my go-to lunch spots.

    31. Basil Fried Rice

    We showed up at 220 on a Saturday and didn't realize until we were leaving that they close at 3 on Saturday. I feel bad for not checking the hours first but our food and service were spectacular. Our orders came with some soup and a vegetable spring roll. I'm not wild about spring rolls in general but these were well cooked, super crispy. The soup was a little bit too spicy for me but my husband loved it. The crab Rangoon appetizer was the absolute best! I could have eaten 3 orders! They were stuffed full and so perfectly fried. I would recommend! My husband got the basil fried rice and really liked it. I also liked my meal. I got the pad see ew with beef.

    Celebrated my wife's birthday last week by checking o it a "new to us" Thai spot. We are by this spot often for Monday run club, but never get the chance to try it, since they aren't open on Mondays. So my wife requested we go on a Sunday evening and give it a try. We were greeted and quickly seated as soon as we walked in. The menu was large and very extensive, containing a lot of sushi, hibachi and Thai options. To start we got an order of calamari, which surprised us when it came out as large chunks, rather than the more standard rings. They were tasty though and came with a spicy Mayo and a sweet and sour sauce for dipping, both of which were great with the calamari. For my entree I got my go to, yellow chicken curry, which was great, and large portions. I ended up having a good bit left, and brought home, cooked up more rice and had a lunch for the next day. Overall, we enjoyed it. The service was good, food came out quickly and was full of flavor, and price was a little high, but in line with other Thai in the area. The restaurant is very bright and full of natural light. Definitely worth checking out, just not on Mondays

    Eggplant stir fry
    Melissa R.

    A gem in High Point! I tried the Eggplant Stir Fry, and it was delicious! The eggplant was perfectly cooked--tender with just the right amount of bite--and was coated in a savory sauce that had a slight sweetness to it. It was loaded with fresh veggies that added a nice crunch, and it paired beautifully with the fluffy jasmine rice. I also ordered the Chicken Pad Thai, which did not disappoint. The noodles were cooked just right, and the flavors were well-balanced, with a hint of tanginess from the tamarind and a subtle nuttiness from the crushed peanuts on top. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the dish was garnished with fresh green onions and a slice of lime that brightened the whole plate. Whether you're craving Thai or sushi, The Basil Leaf has something to satisfy everyone. This place has definitely earned a spot in my favorites, and I can't wait to come back and try more dishes!

    Crab Rangoons
    Zac G.

    High Point is home to so many Thai restaurants that even a Thai/sushi combo isn't unique here. Amid such competition, it is hard to stand out though The Basil Leaf certainly gives it a good try. Though not a large space, The Basil Leaf doesn't lack for seating. The ambiance aims for classy without being stuffy and largely succeeds. Service was attentive throughout our meal. The Basil Leaf's menu features a variety of Japanese (appetizers, sushi, and teriyaki/hibachi entrees) and Thai (appetizers, soups, salads, curries, noodles, and more) offerings. There were no unexpected finds, but if you know the cuisine well enough to know what you want, you'll likely find it here. I had a Pad Thai craving and, my wife and I ended up going with a chicken Pad Thai, a beef pineapple fried rice, and a Crab Rangoon starter. The food was tasty (good amount of sauce on the noodles and sweetness balanced with curry notes in the fried rice), and The Basil Leaf will match your desired spice level. While the plating aims for aesthetic sophistication (i.e. carrots cut into a flower shape), serving the rice in a rectangular block was an odd touch. Both entrees were generously portioned. At $15 and $17, neither broke the bank though the prices are a bit higher than the nearest competitor. All told, The Basil Leaf isn't likely to become my favorite Thai eatery, but it is one that I would feel no qualms about coming back to.

    Great sushi and Thai spot in High Point! It gets bonus points for being in the same shopping center as Sweet Dough and Duck Donuts too. The food comes out fast and the servers are very friendly. We ordered hibachi and several sushi rolls along with a couple of classic Thai dishes (Pad Thai and Sweet & Sour Crunchy Chicken). Everything was hot and fresh and very flavorful. Definitely will be coming back soon!

    Whenever I'm near Greensboro and am in the mood for sushi or Thai, I will make a stop at The Basil Leaf. The service is always great and, when the weather is nice you can sit outside. The indoor seating is nice as well, but I personally love sitting outside to enjoy a meal. Speaking of the meal, yes please! The pad Thai is the BOMB!! The curry - all of them - are amazing!! The sushi is always CHEF KISS good!! If you work in the area, it is a perfect spot to pick up lunch or meet coworkers. The service is fast but the food is still quality. If you're out with friends looking to sit and chat for a longer period, they won't rush you. You are welcome to come in in a rush or come in to chill - either way, it's great! Ooo it's also a pretty solid date night spot - it's served as a first date spot for me. Granted, the food was WAY better than the date, but I still walked away full and happy!

    Sunset Roll
    Hannah C.

    Basil Leaf is one of my fav Thai spots in the High Point area and I can't believe it took time this long to try their sushi!! Typically I grab the orange chicken, fried rice, or curry dishes from here but I made in the mood for some sushi. I got the sunset roll which consisted of shrimp tempura, avocado, and cream cheese. As a new sushi lover, I still get nervous trying new rolls but this one was amazing. The 8-piece roll was more than enough and was a decent price so I was overall very satisfied. Our server, Danielle, was friendly and helped with sharing some of her menu favorites. The space is overall nice with big windows and lots of tables. I recommend this spot if you're in the area and looking for some good Asian fusion and Thai food!

    Drunken Noodle with Chicken
    Laura M.

    I have tried several different rolls and every single one has been delicious. This is a must try for sushi lovers! This visit we ordered the Ginger Chicken, Drunken Noodles with Chicken and The Hot Mango Roll. The restaurant is quaint and clean. The servers are friendly and welcoming. I really like Basil Leaf, it's different and special.

    Beef basil fried rice is soooo good

    Always fresh food and excellent service when I come to this location. We always stuff ourselves and it was nice to receive a complimentary appetizer before our meal. Will always return back for some bangin sushi

    Melissa M.

    Cute little Thai restaurant- we have been here many times. Service is good. All of the food was great, but one meal came out quite a bit later than the others. No cold sake on this visit- they were completely out. Sad face.

    Hannah H.

    The Basil Leaf is a good go to spot for sushi in High Point. Their menu has quite a few options from classic Thai dishes, lots of raw and cooked sushi options, and those hibachi dishes that are really popular in the south. I have tried a few of their dishes but prefer their sushi! It's usually super fresh and their special rolls are really well done. All entrees come with their appetizer which includes one of their soups and a mini spring roll! During the winter, try their yummy yellow curry dish for a warm and cozy treat!

    Yet again absolutely delicious all the way down to the little greens salad that comes on the sushi…read moreplates with the homemade dressing. Sushi rolls are fresh, flavorful, crunchy, delicious. And the pineapple chicken is the perfect blend of crunch, sweet, just delicious. It has become a dish we always order. We also had the calamari which has the lost delicious batter, is seasoned and cooked perfectly with the perfect crunch. I don't love the sauce that it comes with, BUT, it's so good on its own I don't even need the sauce. A tomato based sauce would be outstanding with it but that's not really the style for this restaurant. Either way we will keep ordering it because it's delicious. Service is always excellent. This is a regular spot for us because the vibe, the service, and the flavors are top notch.

    My wife and I came in for dinner at around six-thirty Saturday night. We ordered drinks and a few…read moreminutes later we were told they were out of Sapporo. No big deal. I ordered a Kirin instead. When I ordered the new beer, we ordered yellowfin, bluefin, and escolar nigiri as a starter. Beer came out several minutes later and we ordered our main courses (a combination of a noodle dish and several appetizers.) About ten minutes later, our server came up and told us they were out of bluefin. Ok, fine. We looked at the menu and picked another nigiri (yellowtail.) Another wait and she came back and told us they were out of the lettuce wraps we ordered. Now we are three items that you are out of with wait times that took longer than they should have to notify us so we could adjust accordingly. Our second round of food comes out before the first round that we ordered. At this point we are just satisfied that we are getting anything that we ordered, even out of order. When the check comes, the market value bluefin is on the check ($12) and I comment to the server that this was not correct. She responded that it was fine because she didn't ring us up for the yellowtail, which was half the price of the bluefin. I get that fresh ingredients can be out of stock. That is totally acceptable. I get that sometimes food and beverages can sell out, also acceptable. What I have a hard time accepting is that for some reason THREE different courses were unavailable and the service staff didn't know ahead of time or notify us timely enough to keep the flow of service intact. During the shuffle of repeatedly telling us that they didn't have what we ordered came at the cost of our courses coming out completely out of sync. The issue of trying to charge us for a much more expensive nigiri since it was replaced for an item that was literally half the price was almost an insult if not intentionally done to keep the check price up. I'm glad I looked at the check instead of just giving her my card so we could leave. Overall, the quality of the food was fine and the service was apologetic given the several missteps, but overall, it was far from what we had from the recommendation we had received. I reached out SEVERAL times via email to the management and have not had a single response, so either they don't have one or they don't care. We won't go back and there are much cheaper and better options all over the place.

This is my best friend's favorite restaurant in the area, and I can see why. I love that their seafood options have different varieties of seafood.

I was a little nervous about the chili oil but it was actually delicious and went perfectly with my food. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back!

    My wife and I went here for an early Valentine's Day dinner. We were there on a Saturday night…read morearound 5:30 and there was only one other couple there. I'll tell you wait, this place is a hidden gem though. The place itself is an old Pizza Hut located between High Point and Jamestown. It's a small building with a drive through and quite a bit of parking for a small establishment. Nothing incredibly fancy but they had some nice touches such as homemade wicker decorations and traditional sauces on the tables. The lighting was not overly bright but was a nice ambiance setter. Our waitress was phenomenal. Very polite and explained everything to us. She reviewed the items we ordered and made sure we understood what everything was. She even explained to us how traditional Vietnamese people ate some of the dishes which added to the experience. We ordered 3 appetizers to split and get a taste of different things and it was nice as she brought out each one separately so we could enjoy what was just served. As for the food, we had the following: Rice Paper Rolls - all the ingredients were fresh and the vegetables were crisp. The peanut dipping sauce was to die for and could have been eaten by itself. Pulled Pork Sliders - a more modern take on pork buns. These were one of our favorite dishes . The cilantro was a little heavy but a minor complaint. Chicken Satay - absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. The peanut sauce was glazed on and not too heavy. For our main course my wife had the House Pho and I had Beef Shortrib Banh Hoi. My wife really enjoyed her Pho although the tendon and tripe were chewy and not to her liking. The Banh Hoi was absolutely delicious and a fun way to eat dinner. For those who haven't had it, it's almost a make your own lettuce wrap with meat, a sheet of noodles, cucumber, and carrots. You then dip it in a broth. All of the flavors meld nicely and it was delicious! I had the short rib which were seasoned and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend this little gem for a fun night out or to try something different.
