Basil Thai is always a nice place to retreat to have some savory Thai food and some drinks and relax. This is exactly what I did with two friends recently and we really enjoyed ourselves. The ambience is conducive to relaxation as well as having a conversation. There is a bustle, however, as the staff bring out the various dishes. There is plenty to choose from for the omnivores as well as the vegetarians. They also have a full bar and serve beer and wine. Street parking is hit or miss in the area but the restaurant is not far from BART or MUNI. I highly recommend Basil Thai for a good meal..

Awesome!. This little thai restaurant completely exceeded our expectations! We LOVED it! The food was all so delicious with very generous portions and so inexpensive. We went for Friday night dinner date night and only spent $30 for the two of us! Granted we were having drinks this night, but still. We will be back again whenever we are craving thai and are in the area. I wish this was in my neighborhood!.

Really, really great Thai. I've been here twice, two years apart. Wondered if the first time was a fluke or just an over-fond memory. But no, this place is "that good" - the subtleties of flavor are what makes great vs good Thai, and this place has a perfect balance. ... Lunch special is a great deal (2 small entrees spring roll)..

Strongly not recommend. If you want to find a good Thai restaurant in San Francisco, don't go this restaurant. This restaurant would use bad sea stuff. I ordered seafood noodle and I found a shell rotten and having bad smell. Don't waste your money. You should go other restaurant.. Once again, I strongly don't recommend this place to have a meal. And just to let you know they charged 18% of payment as tip. It sucks...

So-so. It isn't that the place is bad. The food is somewhat authentic although the heat is turned down too much for that claim to hold. You might ask for chili of course but there is none at the table. The price and service were adequate but when you compare the nearby Basil Canteen, this place does suffer by that comparison..

Thai..I LOVE Thai now!. I never had Thai before moving to San Fran, (from the East Coast, Massachusetts). This was my 2nd place I found that I absolutely love the food, and I am a picky eater. Great food, close to my place, great service. I go as often as I can (at least once a month)..
