Unfussy sit-down & take-out eatery with simple Thai dishes like drunken noodles & tom yom soup.
Despite this place looking run down, the food, in my opinion, is decent. Considering the affordable price! I love their spring rolls, pad Thai, pad see yu, Mongolian beef, drunken noodles, and a fantastic mango dessert. The Thai iced teas are delicious. I wouldn't eat there, but it's perfect for a pickup or delivery!
Their “mango and sticky rice” is horrible. The WORST I’ve ever tasted, I put it in my mouth and immediately spit it out. The rice that they used isn’t even the glutinous rice that’s supposed to make the rice “sticky”. The rice is absolute mush and it tastes disgusting. The mangoes also aren’t fresh and it’s extremely hard and stale. Thai basil should be ashamed of themselves because this is NOT authentic mango &sticky rice I’m mortified by this garbage. Wish I could give negative 100 stars but that’s not available. Also service and atmosphere sucked.
The food was HORRIBLE!
For appetizer i ordered the "vegetarian rolls". For $4 they sent me 2 mediocre rolls. OVERPRICED! Also want to mention, on their menu the "vegetarian rolls come with a mango sauce, its actually duck sauce. For $4 they sent me 2 mini egg rolls with a small cup of duck hustle.
Entree- The shrimp pad thai was disgusting! Very soggy and mushy. The worst pad thai ive ever eaten. It was covered in some thick sauce, It was a mind f**k because they were so overdone and didn't taste nothing like pad thai but i was so hungry, i was just playing with it, miserably eating it slowly. The lemon or lime, was expired. It said such a weird tart taste i dont know which citrus it was.8
Just got a "grilled" steak salad. Now personally, I can eat raw meat and be just fine. But I was never given the option to chose NOT raw. They just dumped it in my salad and sent me on my way.
Also I found out today that their chilli sauce tastes like soap. Not sure what they put in it, but I've never had a problem with regular chillies before.
Ordered twice ! Gave me food poisoning BOTH times! First time I wasn’t for sure that they gave me food poisoning so I gave them another chance( silly me). The 2nd time I ordered… a hour after I ate the food my stomach instantly started hurting & that night I had diarrhea. The next day I had diarrhea as well, come to find out they gave me food poisoning TWICE. Food allergies have nothing is not fresh, and they don’t care!! Because they are not the ones eating it. Plus they are not real tai food. They are just using the name. I should’ve listened to the bad reviews. If you don’t want to get food poisoning from there bad food think twice before buying here.
Ordered out from this place, food is ready when we got there and served by friendly staff. Got the clear mushroom soup very tasty, teriyaki salmon a little overcooked but still very tasty. Person I was with Captain Tom Tom soup and the mango shrimp. Neither of us had a complaints. Will definitely be back to try something else.
Too Much Late For Delivery and Bad behavior

I would give this no stars, but you have to at least give it one star order to write the review this place sucks their food was horrible. I will never go back there again and I will let everyone that know how horrible this place is and the lady was rude.

I don't know what this food is, but it is not Thai food. Staff do not even know what prik nam pla is. The food is not inedible, but it's a huge disappointment if you want an authentic Thai dish.
I never do these reviews . But that lady was so rude . And i told her this is my first time ordering . I tried the food in there, and I said I didn’t like it . I don’t like spicy . I said I can I get a refund . She didn’t t want to give me it . She could have easily voided it . But she gave me the cash back . I told her I’m allergic to spicy and she didn’t wanna refund me . I got my money back though . I tried the chicken Thai . Would never go back here .
$1.50 for a little cup of sweet chili sauce and they can’t ever be bothered to actually put it in your order
Not forgivable when you’re charging money for things and fail to provide, that’s theft

Ordered on Uber eats against my better judgement, received exactly what I perceived- mediocre imitation “Thai” food.
Should’ve just ordered from the actual Thai restaurant I was thinking about ordering from.
This is a reliable takeout & delivery spot, the food is always hot and quickly prepared, and of course delicious!! Favorites are the drunken noodles and Mongolian beef - great every time!
The food was simply ok. It was spicy enough and the flavor was ok.
Love this place! Food is tasty, prices good! Always ordering meals for lunch!
The best Thai food in Sheepshead Bay
It's one of our favorite places for Thai food. We are vegetarian, and Thai Basil has tons of delicious vegetarian dishes including General Tso with mock meat. Just so it's clear: it's a take out / delivery place, don't try to come there for a sit-down dinner.
I love Thai food, but Thai Basil was disappointing. I ordered the green curry. It was just okay. I had the food delivered. The curry separated and had to be mixed before eating. The spice was decent, but it lacked a bit of flavor. I'm probably not going to order from here again.
Food quality fluctuates . Specifically pineapple chicken.
Food never disappoints, and delivery is always fast.
Ordered the pineapple chicken fried rice. Authentic
Don’t make the same mistake I did. Do you order from here. It’s absolutely terrible.
Food is delicious and affordable. One of my to-go spots. Owner is friendly and quick.
The food was disgusting, wasn't even cooked right. Save your money!
horrible place, worst food delivery experience ever. The rice was uncooked and I found a DEAD BUG inside my rice? The lid of the cup they put sauce in the was crushed, sauce spilled everywhere. The Thai tea spilled too. The straw they provided was also folded and broken. I can’t imagine how disgusting their kitchen is.
Food isn't great at all
Must have changed owners. Not same, quality of food
Just got a "grilled" steak salad. Now personally, I can eat raw meat and be just fine. But I was never given the option to chose NOT raw. They just dumped it in my salad and sent me on my way.
Also I found out today that their chilli sauce tastes like soap. Not sure what they put in it, but I've never had a problem with regular chillies before.
delicious food!!!!! great staff and very cleanly
We love their food. We get the chicken pad Thai pineapple fried rice with shrimp. The curry is delicious. Soups salads. I haven’t had one dish we didn’t love. I actually crave this food especially when I need comfort food
Great prices and super yummy. I love everything i had so far
Just ok. Not authentic. No Thai flavors of lemongrass, lime etc. Essentially mediocre Chinese. Thai iced tea is good.
Drunken noodles are great, as soon as we ordered anything else we found out why some of the reviews of this place are so bad. Never ordering from here again.
Had the beef drunken noodles. Very tasty and good portion, highly recommend.
Fast. They don’t do delivery so had to pick it up. It is what it is. Asian food.
Great food and service.
Inedible, truly the worst Thai food i’ve ever had.
Food pretty good here Thai Fried chicken is great
Simple Thai and very good Thai food.
Very good authentic Thai! Delicious!
Tom Young soup was horrible... but the rest of menu looked great.. will try again despite a bad soup experience
Good Thai takeout.
Clean and good
Not all dishes are great here. In general, they cook for 4 stars, something worse, something better, but overall it will do.
Great authentic Thai cusine
I ordered Thai pad see yu with chicken. It was amazing. I enjoyed it ❤️
Wery good place
This place gave my best friend food poisoning. She rarely eats out and this is the ONLY take out she has before she had to rush to the ER and was told she had food poisoning. She has been dehydrated, experienced a bad case of diarrhea, and her body has been feeling very tingly. This morning almost a week later she is still not feeling well. Please stay away from this place - it is NOT WORTH IT. 0/10.
Very bland and not authentic Thai. The Tom yum was watery and sweet. The noodles were bland.
Ordered from here last night through UberEats and the food wasn’t the best. You know when you’ve had good or even great (enter specific type here) food, well this didn’t hit the mark for me. The drunken noodles was simply blah and left a lot to be desired. The wings were okay. I wish I had checked for reviews before ordering like I usually do. I would’ve saved myself the disappointment. The wings and delivery experience were the only reasons why they got one star. Would I order from here again, No.
Worst imitation food ever, a jack of all trades, a master of none. They have fake Japanese Thai and Chinese food, none of them taste authentic. Customer service is rude, and if you ordered the lunch special, they put the salad and meal in the same container. Their teriyaki beef is the worst, the beef is over cooked and the peppers and onions are raw.
Best Thai food in NYC!
sorry, but have you ever taste true tom yum soup? It has nothing in common with tom yum. Maybe it's demo-version of tom yum, but not thai tom yum. I love Chinese food too, but don't call this soup tom yum.)))
Great food!
Worse Pad Thai I’ve ever had. Asked for chili sauce on the side, and they drenched my meal with it. Stay away!!
Food was OK. Lady looked annoyed when I asked for condiments.
Food definitely not good, now i remember why i haven't ordered from them in a year. If youre looking to spend a day in the bathroom, head to eat at thai basil.
The food is decently good but have forgotten our cokes that we have ordered twice in a row. They owe us 4 and we will never see it. If you order delivery, get your drinks someplace else because you likely won't get out it from them
Easily the worst Thai food in NY. They use coconut powder & paste, not coconut milk to save money while charging higher than average prices. The shrimp taste like cardboard. Overcooked, tough & has an artificial look. White with orange stripes. The Thai Tea is watery. The Tom Kha soup has an artificial coconut taste & is very watered down. The staff are very rude & ghetto as well. Complete disgrace.
Ordered some stuff today from uber eats. The soup was really good, but the main not really. It was just couple shrimps and and vegetables in a very sweet sauce. Definitely not worth 28$.
Basic thai, it's good.
I called like 6 times only to be hung up on everytime. I didnt even get a chance to order and they didn’t really want to take customers for that day. Very disappointed in this place and will not be ordering from them ever. Horrible customer service.
Very good drunken noodle
I ordered a mango salad, interesting. Pad thai noodles was not good, wings were ok. I should have listened to reviews, but pandemic had me longing for some thai food.
Extremely salty.
Never again. Worst Thai food.
Very good
Drunken noodles. Yum.
Love their dishes and they deliver fast! A must try
Very dark
This is not a Thai food! Worse I’ve ever tried. Never again!
I ordered the garlic chicken. The chicken was rubbery and left a weird after taste. It was also very salty. It looked better than what it tasted.
Good food, quick delivery. Lunch is Suslov better than dinner. Pat Thai is not great, usually drowning in sauce which is unusual for Pat Thai but otherwise the food is good.
I love thai food and this PLACE is like thai food Chinese food and delivery
Food is terrible! Totally different from actual Thai food. Pad Thai and fried rice is wet and not dry. Chicken wing is over fried and has a lot of hair. Very disappointed, Never ordering again.
Tried the vegan General Tso chicken! Cost 8$ for lunch special and comes with good portion spring roll and soda. Clean place with seating. Highly recommend if looking for non meat options.
Ordered through Uber eats and got a deep fried cockroach in my wings. I’m Calling the health department about this too
The food isnt what real thai food should be like. The tom yum soup is very diffrent from what I had in other thai resturants and it had only 2 shrimp in it the rest is just water and a few vegetables. The pineppale curry isn't bad but it costs 12.75 and its made like a soup and lacks flavor in it. It's not the type of food I had in other thai resturants.
The workers are not great, not knowing what the main dishes are like.
very inexpensive
very fast
very delicious
so I was hungry one day. and so I work nearby and saw this place, so I thought to myself why not.
I was surprised by how cheap the food was. the chicken wings were only $4. it is such a good deal considering the quantity they gave me.
Food does taste good, but they started getting a habit of undercooking beans that they insist on putting in every meal, with expensive items in food being provided in a very small amount if any.
Probably the only thai place in my neighborhood. Place is dark and there is alot of yelling. Best to take your food to go
Good Thai place for take out. We're not too adventurous and usually get some noodle dishes. We've never had a bad experience with this place.
mushroom soup was like water with mushrooms and duck with vegetables were absolutely not tasty. unreasonably expensive and not tasty.
Ordered out from this place, food is ready when we got there and served by friendly staff. Got the clear mushroom soup very tasty, teriyaki salmon a little overcooked but still very tasty. Person I was with Captain Tom Tom soup and the mango shrimp. Neither of us had a complaints. Will definitely be back to try something else.
Good food, had the veggie general tso chicken and steamed veggie dumplings.
Food is delicious!
Big portions
The food is ok..
Thai food! yummy!
BE CAREFUL!WATERBUG! I ordered Calamari from this restaurant on Uber eats. I ate most of the order then discovered a whole fried water bug at the bottom I was horrified. Think twice about ordering, if you still decide to check through your order thoroughly.
the worst food I've ever ordered!!!! i ordered duck curry and i got DUCK SKIN!!! sorry i can't show you ITS DISGUSTING!!
Simply amazing place coconut shrimp is out of this world
Very tasty food and nice service. Highly recommend!!
Green curry is my favorite, i have tried different things such as: pad Thai, all the dishes with curry , veggies and fish and they were delicious. Always pretty fast. Its a little on the spicy side so if you are not that much into spicy food ask them to make it mild.
Horrible place to eat..food is dry as if it's been sitting out all day.. absolutely disgusting... oh and don't forget the rude workers. DO NOT EAT HERE! Wish I can give a zero star.
This place is called Thai Basil, but the food tastes exactly like Chinese fast food. DONT BUY!
Not satisfied. Waste of $13. I orded shrimp with thai sauce. The Shrimp didn't taste fresh. Basically, this is a restaurant that serves overpriced Chinese food. Won't be coming to eat here again. On a good note, vegetables where fresh.
Great food
The food was HORRIBLE!
For appetizer i ordered the "vegetarian rolls". For $4 they sent me 2 mediocre rolls. OVERPRICED! Also want to mention, on their menu the "vegetarian rolls come with a mango sauce, its actually duck sauce. For $4 they sent me 2 mini egg rolls with a small cup of duck hustle.

The lemon or lime, was expired. It said such a weird tart taste i dont know which citrus it was.8
Very poor customer service!
Great, freshly cooked Thai food. It's a very low key take out space with some seating inside and restaurant quality food.
Made to order fresh and delicious Thai food! This is Thai food takeout/delivery place that my family and I love to order from. It's small, but they make the best Thai food!!! Prices are good too.
Authentic 👍👍👍
Good service the food freshly made very tasty.
Never Been hete
We wanted to try a new Thai spot and found this menu in our building so we went for it. It was cheaper then other Thai places I've had but the difference in quality matches the cheap price. It tastes like salty chinese food just covered in curry powder and a splash of coconut milk for good measure. The portions were large but we just threw it out.
pretty Good Thai food here
Pretty good Thai spot, a little pricey but they give you some BIG portions. So it's worth the money. Just make sure you're hungry enough to eat those portions haha. I reccomend their take on General Tso's Chicken, Drunken Noodles, and the Mongolian Beef.
Disgusting ! I had tons of hair in my pad Thai! I always order from this place and this just grossed me out
Its good bro
A little pricey
The chicken wings are so delicious with the hot sauce on the side.
Fake Thai spot.Chicken Pad Thai should not be drowned in sweet sauce.This is not an authentic Thai spot
Drukman noodles were on point but the cocconut shrimp they need to work on their tasting.
Ordered drunken noodles, grilled steak salad, and fried calamari. Food is pretty mediocre, noodles were too oily...... food is okay, wont be ordering again though.
It is a small place with a Chinese restaurant feel. Ordered to go and food came quickly - masaman curry and drunken noodle. The portions were enough for four people, if 3 don't eat a lot of rice and a smidge expensive, about $21.00. It had an ok spicy kick and was 3/5 star tasty. I've experienced a little better so it didn't quiet surpass that bar in taste. It's worth a quick stop if you are in the mood but I plan to try other places in the area before returning again.
First Time eating here. Very fast great tasting I love Thai spices. I ordered the chicken and broccoli very good much BETTER than "Chinese" carry out. BUT the Chinese carry out has way better brocoli. I forgot to ask for sauce on the side...I like to pour on my own cuts down calories. Be aware it is very spicy.
Although I only tasted the Spicy Shrimp Pad Thai which is good, their customer service is awful. When I called to place an order, I told the lady on the phone to hold on briefly to verify my order and she hung up. When I called back she said very rudely that I took too long. On another occasion, when I called for delivery the lady abruptly cut me off and told me we don't deliver to your home. They are very ungrateful, rude and nasty. When they start losing business they will begin to treat customers with a little respect. Disgusting!!!
Was not dissappointed, the Fried Rice and Shrimp Pad tThai was great. Loved the Spring Roll...the Iceberg salad discredited the experience. I would dine again
DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE SHRIMP COCONUT SOUP WITH NO SHRIMP !!!! NO RICE WITH MONGOLIAN CHICKEN ?? REALLY PAID OVER $45 FOR 2 SOUPS (WITH NO SHRIMPS ) STEAK AND CHICKEN WITH NO RICE REALLY
DO ORDER USED TO GET FOOD FROM THEM ABOUT 3 TIMES A WEEK NEVER EVER AGAIN SHAME
Not a Thai restaurant. Its a typical chinese food takeout trying to make thai food. Would not recommend to anyone wanting true thai flavor.
Good
So far no complaints, the Chicken Pad Thai is good.
Great food. Fastest delivery I ever seen. Can't complaint about that little place.
The place doesn't look very appealing bue the food is fantastic. Definitely worth trying. And coming back for more of course.
Meh... atleast the chicken wings were good
The Thai iced Teas were good, but this is not a legit Thai Restaurant,the food was ok
I've only had takeout, so I can't speak for the dining space but the food is great. Mongolian beef with an order of pineapple rice is my favourite
I absolutely love this place. The food is always fresh and tastes good. My two favorite dishes are chicken coconut soup and chicken pod thai. I highly recommend this place to anyone with. craving for Thai food.
Placed an order for take out. The vegetarian sweet and sour *chicken was decent,The basil fried rice was great and the vegetable dumplings along with the sauce was delicious.
As a first timer, I tried their lunch specials to start out because I felt that the regular meal prices where a bit high to try the food out.
First, the portion of the lunch specials are more than adequate and filling. So far I have tried both the teriyaki chicken and the pineapple fried rice. Both where delicious but the rice in my opinion was the best! I also have to mention the salad dressing because it was so good and fresh tasting I found myself conserving some to use on my own salad at home.
Each time I go I plan to try something different!
Too oily
Suprasingly good food, I order from them regularly.
