Throughout the 24 years that Sweet Basil Thai Cuisine has been serving Thai food in NE Portland, we have seen increased demand for vegan and gluten-free foods, so we decided to open Basil Vegan Kitchen, an extension of Sweet Basil that caters specifically to people who want vegan and gluten-free takeout and delivery options. We have a large variety of vegan appetizers and dishes. Try them all and email us with your comments!
This restaurant is basically for restaurants put into one. The menu is quite extensive. There are many choices. The environment was a bit cold though, but the service was good. My lad na was pretty good but some of the rice noodles that were fried did not have enough wok flavor.
Absolutely incredible vegan Thai food with gluten free options. I ordered the garlic lover stir fry with fried tofu and the glass noodles with soy curls. Both a 12/10. Delivery was prompt and friendly and my food was still hot! Highly recommend trying them out.
Edit: 4 years later and it’s still some of the best vegan and gluten free food in town. The fried cauliflower basil dish with soy curls??? GET OUT OF HERE. It’s so special. The staff is always so kind and I can tell they really care about the food they’re putting out. I appreciate you all existing so much<3 Thank you for being here.
I want so badly to leave a good review but I just cannot. I had tempura and yellow curry that I picked up to take home.
The tempura batter is thick and tasteless.. I've never quite had tempura batter like this. And that's too bad because I ordered a lot of it. The veggies inside the batter are fine.
The yellow curry order gives you a choice of very mild, all the way up from there. I chose the least amount of spicey- so the most mild. I'm used to spicy foods, but I just felt like having the least amount tonight - it is definitely really spicy.. Furthermore, the potatoes in the yellow curry are really just barely to the point of being cooked enough. I thought for sure when I cut into it that it was going to be raw because it was that hard. The tofu in the curry is fine. The rice that came with the curry is good.
Service was friendly, the food was done on time. The restaurant looked very nice. I don't have a problem with any of that.. But because of the poor quality of food I won't be back. Sorry!
Everything I ordered seemed to have frozen vegetable mix in it (peas, carrots, corn, green beans). This included the steamed dumplings and the Singapore noodles, neither of which was very flavorful. The rest of the dining experience was quite nice, but I was very disappointed by the food.
We ordered to-go food. It was delicious. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures. The avocado noodle curry was delicious!
Yumm! Tom yum soup & mango sticky rice...,, so good!

Excellent vegan food! Loved the flavors, and asked for it to be not spicy and they delivered! Would definitely recommend
Delicious! Great services.

Soooo good! Great service and so accommodating to gluten free needs! Having an allergy I still feel safe eating here :)
Delicious pad khee mao! They also have a special vegetarian menu.
We eat here frequently and always love the food and wonderful hospitality and service.
Absolutely fantastic vegan food!
Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. And so many vegan options! It's basically heaven.
Worst Thai food I've had in a while. It was bland, tasteless and tofu dish came in a watery sauce. Wont be going back
Really good!! Great flavors and spice! We had pad Thai and the Khao Soi- both amazing!
This NOT a vegan restaurant at all. While they have vegan dishes, like everywhere, they have loads of other food and lots of meat. They are listed under four names, and they pretend to be vegan under one of them. Very disappointing.
Amazing Vegan Place with perfect tasting food. The Owner was pretty helpful and answered our questions with patience and grace. Will be visiting again.
Fantastic! Very impressive thai food. Big heat (we like!) and big flavor. We got the "hot" and it was no joke, which we appreciated bc a lot of places tone down the heat scale and hot ends up being not so much. We ordered the coconut vegetables, coconut spicy noodles and khao soi. All were delicious, fresh, generous portions, great varieity of veggies, ready on time. we will most definitely be back!
Amazing food! Everything was delicious and the basil fried rice is to die for!
Huge portions and very flavorful dinner even for non vegans
Friendly people, great food.
SO impressed with this place. They made delicious vegan, gluten free, and SOY FREE dishes for me. Veggies were nice and crisp, sauces flavorful. As for COVID precautions, everyone was wearing masks and there was appropriate physical distancing. I'll certainly be back!
Makes dishes soy free on request.
I wasn’t eating from them, but picking up food for someone else. And multiple employees had no masks on.
Yummy!
