Basil Thai Cuisine - Columbia

I just had a fantastic Thai food today that I've been missing for a long time! The Tom Kha Gai ( chicken coconut) soup was excellent! Great aromas and lots of mushrooms and chickens. The pad Thai was also excellent. I added the Thai garlic hot paste to season it and it was perfect. Not too hot, but right! I'll be back on Thursday Friday for lunch.

We had a great time as usual, the service and the atmosphere were very accommodating! Our server, Micah, was definitely on point, he earned every piece of his tip and then some. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves very much and will come back as usual. And if you ask yourself if the food is good, you know that it is great! Everything is seasoned for perfection and comes hot as it is always fresh! We tried everything in the menu above all and have no complaints. Bon appétit

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.

I came here with my younger sister and enjoyed the experience. We didn't have to wait very long to be seated. The staff was very attentive and made sure our meal as well as drinks were taken care of. The entrée itself was delicious and savory. We had the Red Duck Curry and Won Ton Soup. For appetizers we had the egg rolls and spring rolls which were fresh and the sauce was very flavorful. We also ended up ordering two desserts which I did take a photo of (the matcha cheesecake and chocolate torte) and both I have to say were amazingly creamy. They weren't overly sweet and was a great delectable end to our first time coming. I highly recommend coming here and I look forward to next time.

Ordered take out for my family tonight. They all enjoyed their meals (shrimp fried rice and pad woon sen). I ordered the pad kee mow and was extremely disappointed. This dish was dry and flavorless. Service was quick and polite when ordering and picking up. The food smelled good but this dish was a total let down.
