Delicious food, the Bangkok fried rice reminded us of the Thai fried rice we had in Thailand months back. Lots of flavor! The mango sticky rice was also very delicious, a bit on the pricier side, but worth every penny! The decor was very pretty as well. The staff were very friendly, even though we unknowingly got there 30min before closing, we did not feel rushed, plus we eat quickly normally anyways lol. Overall 10/10 would recommend eating here for some quality flavorful food! :) read more

I would give this a solid 3.5. Definitely a hot spot in Carson city! Took a few minutes to get greeted but no biggie, they were so busy. My mom though the tofu was too hard but it was okay to me. The papaya salad was okay, we ordered a medium but it wasn't spicy at all imo and my mom said she would prefer it to be shredded into smaller pieces. Best order was the pad see eew. It was tasty, good variety of veggies. Service was decent - she checked in on us enough times. read more

We had a very cool evening and an excellent dinner @ The Basil Restaurant in Carson City! The street it''s on had had a small town look, and the restaurant had a great view to the street and a very nice, peaceful atmosphere inside. The people who served us were very polite and accommodating. We loved the fried bananas with coconut ice cream, and I wish I could go back if only for that again! read more

We had an excellent dinner here last week. The food is fresh and delicious, the menu items are clearly marked with many gluten-free and vegetarian options. The atmosphere is charming and the staff are super friendly and attentive. So So So delicious! We started with the mango spring rolls and a chicken appetizer. Sorry there are no photos because we snarfed them down quickly. For entrees we had Pad Thai Noodle with shrimp, Pad See Ew Noodles with shrimp, and the Roast Duck Gravy. For dessert, we shared the Mango Tango and the Fried Banana with Coconut Ice Cream. Everything we tried was beautiful and beyond melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

Was taken to lunch here last Wednesday as a surprise from my friend. It was so pretty inside. I ordered the spicy bbq chicken. It came with rice, salad, added a spring roll and sweet n sour won ton chip as well. The chicken was cooked perfect. A light crispy crust. The spicy bbq sauce aka spicy sweet n sour sauce. It was really great. Only complaint is they did not dress my salad with the peanut sauce. It was just dry lettuce and tomato. OOopps. My friend got the veggie green curry and I tasted the broth. Omg what flavor. Our waitress was really sweet. Older lady. Didn't hover but was there when you needed her. Location is in down town Carson. So a nice view. Would have given 5 stars if my salad had been dressed. I stole dressing off my friends salad. I'll go back as that chicken was so good. read more

As a Vegan, this place made my heart sing! I ordered the Fresh Mango Roll and the Pad Thai with Vegetables. Without skipping a beat the waitress asked, 'no egg?'. That little moment really stood out to me! The decor is also incredible, the fresh pot of rose water by the door was too beautiful not to capture! A big thank you to The Basil for a very wonderful dinner :) read more

Came here for lunch the other day and got the drunken noodle lunch special. The restaurant is exactly what you would expect. Clean, quaint, and friendly. Service was ok and food was good. I got 4/5 spicy and it was too much for me, but I couldn't stop eating cause it was so tasty. I will be back again soon to try the other items on the menu. read more

Awesome, quiet, bright, and fine lunch dining experience! We both had the Pad Thai lunch special. Service, surroundings, and flavors were amazing. I think we ate it all. read more

The best Thai food!!! Amazing portions! Love the drunken noodles. Everything is delicious.

Waste of money and effort to get this takeout, kinda ruined our night actually. It wasn't so bad that I couldn't eat some of it, just so uninspiring and the meat texture was weird. Will never come back. read more

Came from out of town and was craving Asian food so we came here. The restaurant is decorated nicely and our server was so kind! Now for the food.. I would say everything we had was pretty average and underwhelming. The Panang curry was too sweet and the eggplant could have more flavor. But, For a town like Carson, it's as good as you can probably get. read more

I ordered the # 53. Topless and it was honestly disgusting. Maybe it's supposed to be a sweet dish but it looks and smells savory/ spicy. I can't express my incredible disappointment upon taking a bite of seafood sauce and rice and being assaulted with sweetness. read more

Best Thai I've had in years! Northern Nevada has been challenging to find good Thai cuisine, but yesterday I skeptically gave this restaurant a shot & it was absolutely wonderful. All the flavors were on point, my dish was cooked well. I'm so happy I found a new restaurant I can and will be frequenting. read more

I've eaten at The Basil several times and never been disappointed. The service is fantastic and the food is excellent!

Got seated right away on a Saturday night. Food came out relatively quickly. We ordered the red curry with chicken and then the pad see ew with beef. The curry was very flavorful and the coconut didn't overpower it, which I really liked. It was perfect with rice. The pad see ew was also really good and the beef was pretty tender. We did want to order the mango sticky rice for dessert, but unfortunately the mango was not fresh anymore. I'd come back to get these dishes again and even try some of their other items. I definitely wanna try the mango sticky rice for dessert next time. read more

This was a great Thai restaurant. I absolutely love thai It's my favorite type of food. Their pad Thai was great! Along with their tomka soup. Great service. Fun little restaurant. Couldn't ask for more. I was down visiting my girlfriend who worked at the hospital in Carson. read more

Awesome little place with a very cool cultural ambiance. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. The Soft Shell Crab / Shrimp with Drunken Noodles and another with Pad Thai were both extremely tasty. The Fried Banana and Coconut Ice Cream were just the right way to conclude the dinner as it wasn't too heavy and again, very tasty. The coconut flakes in the ice cream really enhanced the flavor. The Sayuri Saki is definitely recommended. read more

Wow! Simply Wow! Been wanting to try out The Basil for quite some time as I absolutely love Thai food and it did not disappoint in the least bit. In fact, it way exceeded my expectations. When we first walked in, we noticed how warm and inviting the place was. The menus are something special as well. Instead of just listing the food and the ingredients, they had color photos of the dishes. To top it off, you can make the dishes strictly vegetarian, or you can choose beef, chicken, shrimp, or a combination of chicken and shrimp which I did when I ordered the Panang Curry. While pretty spicy, it was rich in flavor, the proteins were cooked perfectly, and the jasmine rice was perfect. The service was fast and attentive. This is now my favorite Thai restaurant in the Reno/Carson/Sparks/Tahoe region. Will absolutely go back again soon. read more

Food was very good, nice portions, service was great and friendly, dining atmosphere was very nice. Definitely return to this place on my next business trip to Carsin City. This place was closed on my last trip. read more

The food here never disappoints. The staff is friendly and sits you quickly. Your meal usually starts with a complimentary soup that is hot and light. Appetizers to consider are the GREEN PAPAYA SALAD which is fresh and tangy one is enough to share and fill about 3 people. The SHRIMP TOAST is absolutely delicious. Served warm and crunchy. I have tried the BOAT NOODLE SOUP. Similar to a bowl of pho but a little on the heartier side with pot roast style meat to top it off, the broth is delicious with a hint of cinnamon. The PAD SEE EW COMBINATION is delicious and comes with a generous amount of protein. And last but not least is the MANGO STICKY RICE, OMG!!! it's heaven sent, must try it for dessert. read more

Super cozy and loved the ambience inside when I went to pick up dinner. Service for pickup was great. Love the order ahead feature online. It made it super easy and the food was hot when I got home. Curry puffs were heavenly. They were light and full of flavor. The peanut sauce was off the hook, smooth, rich and full of flavor The pad Thai combo was good the noodles were cooked perfectly. The shrimp, beef, chicken, were good well. The tofu was over cooked. The spice was perfectly balance with a little kick on then back. The chicken teriyaki and sticky rice were light and perfect combination. Looking forward to dining in and enjoying a full meal. Curry here I come! read more

Just what I wanted and just when I needed it. The weather turned a little cooler and I was looking for a nice bowl of soup. That's when Thai food shines.

It's been quite a while since I've been able to visit The Basil. I was in the area for an event and brought eight people with me for dinner. I was pleasantly reminded how great the service is and everyone was happy with the food. Personally I had the chicken green curry with sticky rice. Amazing! I cannot wait to find a reason to be in the area again. Much love to this restaurant! read more

Really nice little Thai restaurant right in the old town area. Tried to eat at Teejays across the street but the smell of cigarette smoke, sadness and utter desperation in that casino drove us out. Glad it did because everything start to finish at The Basil was really exceptional. Started with steamed dumplings - delicious. For mains we shared the Hawaiian fried rice and basil chicken. Both were really tasty. Would definitely come back. read more

A pretty darn good little Thai place right on main street. Having grown up in so cal where there are hundreds of great Thai restaurants, this place admittedly is not at that level, but it's a charming, clean family run restaurant that has some delicious food. Love their duck and once they understood that I could not eat shrimp (allergy) in my pad Thai, we got along fine. Very nice service, and authenticly decorated. On balance, very good!!! And a fair value read more

The food was delicious! We arrived at 1:30 fully aware that they close for lunch at 2:30. On of the wait staff kept trying to rush us. She tried to take my appetizer not once, not twice but three times before we were done with our meal. She told me that they are closed for lunch at 2:30 and I said that I'm fully aware. She wrecked it for us. She asked me why I didn't eat everything and I said I was full. What the what read more

My husband surprised me with a trip here over the weekend and it was pretty good. Here is our order Thai basil - [ ] Fried potsticker sweet chili - [ ] Egg roll with sweet sauce - [ ] Curry puff with onion carrot sweet sauce - [ ] Soup - too much spinach & tofu - [ ] BBQ chciken - [ ] Yellow curry - [ ] Mango sticky rice The curry puff was actually too sweet. It was good but not lights out good like Reno. The staff was well versed in vegan. The fried chicken was good but over cooked and dry. The yellow curry was spot on. The soup would have been fine with 70% less spinach snd tofu. The potstickers were good, the boys liked the sauce. Egg rolls delicious as always. The mango on the sticky rice was fresh but the syrup wasn't as good as Manteca so I left it alone. No dessert menu was provided. I had to ask if they had any. Not sure what else they have read more

The Basil always has good food. The mango roll and pad Thai are great. The returns is nice and the staff there is always friendly and will take good care of you.

Was craving some Thai food so I saw Basil restaurant on yelp. I entered the restaurant which was spacious and nicely decorated. The restaurant was half full with patron during the lunch time. I was seated quickly at a front window area which is not usual when I eat by myself. I was given the lunch special menu and I must say there are plenty of choices compared to other places which typically have about 6. I picked the chicken Pad Thai. I first received a cup of cabbage soup. The soup was full of cabbage and tofu with a flavorful broth which hit the spot. The chicken Pad Thai plate included a small salad and a egg roll which I ordered extra. The Pad Thai had a creamy peanut sauce with good pieces of chicken and onion. I wish it was spicy but I was not asked on the level of spiciness and I forgot to tell them. The side salad was small but flavorful of a peanut sauce with a few slices of cucumber and tomatoes. The egg roll was small and average in flavor. The service was very good, quick and refilled my water without me asking. I will most likely come back for another lunch or dinner to try their curry plates. read more

My girlfriends and I went to Carson City just before Christmas for antiquing. At one of the small, cute antique stores we stopped by, we mentioned that it was time for lunch, and the store owner told us to go to Basil Thai restaurant. It was a cold, gray day, and the idea of having a hot Thai food just instantly convinced us; yes, Thai sounds perfect! As soon as we walked in, we were impressed by the charming interior. It's beautiful. Furniture and fixture looked very expensive, and the place was meticulously clean. Because we were cold, we all ordered different soup dishes. They were all delicious! I was so happy with my won ton soup. It warmed me right up, and just the right amount. It tasted all fresh. The service was excellent too. It looks like I'd be going to Carson City in regular basis, so I am looking forward to having meal here often! read more

Dinner with your friend ALWAYS make the evening special, catching up over a spot of hot peach tea watching Carsonites stroll past in downtown via our lovely window seats at The Basil. Added bonus friendly helpful service, amid traditional decor cozy with food that is delicious that comes out quickly whether you order to-go or have that special dine in experience. Wait staff is accommodating with making suggestions for tasty options and on this particular evening we were looking for vegan dishes. Our server was helpful with pointing out some different vegan dishes they offered but bummer deal the Fresh Mango Roll appetizers were all out tonight so we opted straight for our main course/dishes - next time we'll call ahead. We chose the Pad Thai Noodles without egg which comes with thin rice noodles, sweetly pan-fried, with tofu, onion and bean sprouts anddd we also went with Pad See Ew Noodles with jumbo flat rice noodles, pan-fried in special house sauce, broccoli and carrots without the eggs but added tofu both were deLISH!! Wonderful evening - we will back again for those Fresh Mango Roll appetizers!! read more
