House Of Basil - San Ramon

Always my go to whenever I’m craving Thai food. The service is always excellent and quick. They never fail to disappoint!

Pleasant service. Better than average food. If you go for the lunch menu, the food will be adequate but otherwise the quantity is large. So be prepared to take home leftovers.

Best Thai orange chicken I have ever had. Truly addictively delicious.

The House of Basil restaurant, located across from the Whole Foods, was a very disappointing experience for us. We found that their Thai lunch specials had the smallest amount of meat we had ever encountered. What was more surprising was that they increased their prices while decreasing their portion sizes a combination both that is usually not seen in restaurants. We ordered four dishes to go, and were saddened by the meager amount of meat in each dish only about a small piece of thinly sliced ham, cut into small pieces. To make matters worse, the Green Curry Chicken Lunch we had was very greasy and lacked any coconut cream.As a result of our experience, we have decided to try out other competitors. We recommend Amanda Thai, located near Trader Joe's in San Ramon, with their lunch special priced at only $12.99 and includes a delicious coconut mushroom soup. Alternatively, Thai Tasty, situated in the Sprout shopping center around Crow Canyon Road, offers a lunch special at a cheaper price of $11.99 and generous portions of meat. Both of these Thai restaurants are much better alternatives for us.

We visited this restaurant for the first time, and we had a great experience. The staff was friendly, the food arrived quickly, and it was hot and delicious. We will definitely be returning!
