Basil Thai Cuisine - Columbia

I started with two appetizers: a spring roll and a vegetarian roll. They were decent, though the sauces were a bit intense, yet still enjoyable. The spring rolls didn’t quite have a noticeable shrimp presence, but they were acceptable. The Pho, which they called Basilikum Nudelsuppe, was outstanding. It contained shrimp and steak, and the broth was perfect on its own without needing any extra seasoning. However, I did add a bit of the spices provided, which elevated the dish even more. For dessert, I asked my server for a recommendation and opted for the key lime pie, which was a fantastic choice—it was truly delicious. Overall, I would definitely come back to this restaurant. While I dined, I noticed the other customers seemed to be enjoying their meals as well, with most plates coming back empty.

I just enjoyed some amazing Thai food today that I've really been missing! The Tom Kha Gai (chicken coconut) soup was outstanding—full of great aromas and packed with mushrooms and chicken. The Pad Thai was fantastic as well. I added some Thai garlic chili paste for seasoning, and it was just right—not too spicy, but perfectly flavorful! I'll definitely be returning for lunch on Thursday or Friday.

We had another fantastic experience! The service and atmosphere were wonderfully welcoming. Our server, Micah, really impressed us; he earned every bit of his tip and more. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be returning. If you're wondering whether the food is good, rest assured it's excellent! Everything is seasoned to perfection and served hot and fresh. We tried a variety of dishes from the menu and had no complaints whatsoever. Bon appétit!

I had such a delicious meal. It was a happy time because you reacted kindly to the staff. It tastes good too.

After being recommended this spot on multiple occasions, we decided to finally stop in but were more than disappointed. Things started out great with friendly service and a relaxing ambiance. We got a beer (Riverrat) and a martini (Sake Peach Blossom) with the fried wontons to start which were all amazing!! Things quickly went downhill when our entrees came out though. I ordered the red curry with chicken and my boyfriend got the pad thai which smelled absolutely awful! My boyfriend and I were so repulsed by the smell of the pad thai that we couldn?t enjoy either dish. The smell closely resembled that of dog or cat food and while my boyfriend said the taste was very different from the smell and better, it was hard to get past the smell. The smell was so overpowering it was hard to enjoy the red curry, but even the red curry was disappointing in that it didn?t even actually taste like curry at all. I wouldn?t say it tasted bad, but when I order curry, one would expect curry. The spices were way off and it was much more soupy than traditional curry tends to be. The portions are okay for the price but the taste isn?t even close to being worth what you pay for it. There are way better thai options in the area, so we most likely won?t ever return but if we do, it?ll be for the drinks and appetizers.
