Decided to have lunch at Thai basil today. The experience was mediocre at best. I ordered the lunch special, which included the soup and spring roll. The soup was terrible, lacking in flavour and had a lemony after taste that I still can’t get out of my mouth. The chicken pad Thai I ordered tasted like ketchup which is not a good thing, I’ve had better pad Thai’s for a lot less money and better tasting. I will not be returning.
I was excited to try this Thai restaurant as there’s not too many good options uptown. We both ordered off their lunch menu and got the Thai yellow curry chicken with potatoes, onions, coconut milk and chicken served with star shaped seamed rice. We also ordered the Mussamun curry beef brisket with potatoes, peanuts and onions served with steamed rice.Their lunch menu is available from 11:30am until 5pm daily, so its a great option if you want soup and a spring roll to go with.I found their curries to lack complexity and flavour, their brisket wasn’t as tender as I’d liked it to be and the service was slow.I guess of you’re looking for lunch options in the Richmond Hill area this would be of good value but otherwise I wouldn’t get the curry dishes.
Came in for lunch with the family and surprises to see they offer lunch combos on the weekend. Each combo came with Tom Yum soap and spring roll. The soap was quite tasty and flavourful but nothing special about the spring roll. I had the yellow curry chicken so the spice factor was manageable for me. I don’t think I could handle the green or red curry. Portion was perfect for lunch but it could have poured more curry sauce as I like to soak my rice with it. Husband had the mussaman (not sure of spelling) and it was sorta bland. We had better tasting of this dish elsewhere.
I was not impressed with their food. I had pad Thai for lunch and it was ketchappy, and over cooked. There was an appetizer that came with the lunch menu, I forgot what is was but I remember the appetizer was better than the main.
When we came it was packed and after we were seated we thought, ‘its busy and food will be slow’.Not the case, there must be 10 people working in the kitchen because we all ordered something different and everything came at once and was well cooked!! The other table also ordered at the same time AND almost all the other tables were full!!When you first walk in there’s a great wall Stine thing fountain, dark wood with Thai touches classy casualThere’s music playing its not very loud, to allow for conversation. Awesome. Note: they play music from all over the world not just Thailand. With a full restaurant of talking people we could still all hear each other.I loved my dish. I got the tofu with garlic and chilli. It was nice and spicy. Yum! Huge portions!Everyone was nice. No one smiled though, it was weirdCost wise itpretty reasonable for the amount of food you get.All and all thumbs up. Will be back for sure!! whatlynnate.wordpress.com
Great and consistent thai food. The taste is authentic and the portions are quite big. I like all the items other than the pad thai, which I feel is a bit dry. Great ambience.
Birthday at Thai. I loved this place. The ambiance the service and the food were wonderful. I would totally recommend it. The price was really good for the amount as well. We spent $153.96 for 8 people and we got drinks and desserts. I would really recommend the BBQ Pork and Mango salad as starters. We also ordered the Pineapple rice, great presentation and it was delicious, Basil chilli fried noodles (chef recommendation, was awesome), Green curry and steamed rice, and vermicelli noodles were amazing. The best part was the deep fried banana and mango ice cream at the end. Yummy!!
