UPDATE February 2025 - we had the Pad Thai with shrimp and the Hawaiian Delight.... we were underwhelmed with both dishes.

They don’t answer phone for call in orders…say they’re too busy…go order online…we’ll, I’m driving so I can’t order online. Guess I won’t order at all…sorry to have bothered you seeing that your too busy.

Wonderful Thai Cuisine at a great price. Small quaint personable, quick clean and tasty. I love the Chicken Satay and add a side of rice. Plenty of food and plenty of taste for a $10 bill. BYOB People. Go easy on the heat - ordering a level 3 Yellow Curry Chicken sent me to heat heaven. The Owner is a Charm and the one Waitress is remarkable. Tip Her! Thai Basil until I Die... Thanks for bringing the taste of Thailand to Texas.

Got the pad Thai with shrimp three days ago, the shrimp was soft and slimy and I had diarrhea the next day. Please from now on have a higher standard considering the quality of the seafood.

Diner Review №8

I did take - away and they were very fast! The Pad Thai was delicious!
*EDIT*
That was from 9 years ago - wow! I still visit regularly and still love their food! I highly recommend anything that comes with their peanut sauce - it is so good that I find myself craving it! Their salad rolls are really good as well - I love them with shrimp!

Always great

Diner Review №12

Pad Thai is too Sweet, green Curry with shrimp is good, they only have one waitress.

Diner Review №13

This is a small restaurant tucked into a strip mall shopping center. It has the typical family owned restaurant feel of many Asian restaurants I have visited in the past. The parking lot has plenty of room, the restaurant is small, but seating is adequate. We went on a Saturday night and there were no more than a dozen people in the restaurant. The seating was available for more than double that. The lady who greeted us was helpful, friendly, and accommodating. The food was great and we didn’t have to wait very long. We were able to customize our meals without difficulty.

An error was made on my order and it was quickly corrected. What was most noticeable about how it was handled, was the courteous and professional attitude. There was no unnecessary discussion or blaming of anyone, but it was simply corrected without any drama. I appreciated how it was handled.

I ordered the Thai fried rice with chicken and beef. They offer seasoning that is rated 1 thru 5, with 5 being the hottest. I ordered 3 to play it safe. It was about as hot as a hot picante sauce. I don’t mind more seasoned food, so next time I will order a little more heat.

My wife is on a gluten free diet, which wasn’t a problem. She also is on a ketogenic diet, which also wasn’t a problem. One of our party is a vegetarian, and they offer foods that fit his needs, as well.

Acoustics are nice and not too noisy.

The price was quite reasonable.

This was a nice experience and we will definitely return.

Thai Basil Leaf is my new favorite Thai place. Their Pad Thai (with shrimp) is the best I’ve ever had. The service is fast and this makes for a great lunch spot when you need to get back to the office. The location is also very convenient to UT-Arlington’s campus.

Diner Review №16

Veggie and fried rice dishes are really good. Service a bit slow sometimes

Diner Review №17

Visited during a busy lunch hour on a Tuesday. Food was all delicious, as usual! The lone server was busy but managed to keep up with the packed restaurant, and food came out quickly from the kitchen. This is one of the best Thai restaurants in Arlington... highly recommend!

Diner Review №18

The portion sizes are getting ridiculously smaller these days. We ordered $70 takeout yesterday thinking it will be enough for 3 but, sure enough, it wasn’t. The taste is as good as ever but there is no quantity.

Diner Review №19

I discovered this place when I went to the high school across the street from Thai Basil back in 2013. It’s consistently been good ever since! I normally dine in and it’s not ever really crowded.

Diner Review №20

Had the chicken pad Thai spice level 2.5 :). It was a great spice! Food was so good. Thai tea was delicious as well. Great Thai food!!

Diner Review №21

We are visiting Dallas from North Carolina and happened upon this place and I tell you “The food was amazing “!!! I had the crab fried rice…yummy! For dessert we had the fried ice cream. I was soooo good I didn’t want it to end!!!! The people of Dallas is so lucky to have this gem!

Diner Review №22

Best Thai food in the city.

Diner Review №23

Diner Review №24

No frills and so I typically prefer to order/DoorDash. The Thai food here is fresh and fair the portions are decent for the price point (compared to others) they could afford to give a scoop more. Otherwise good and decent delivery times.

Diner Review №25

Diner Review №26

Food was EXCELLENT.
Service was less to be desired.
I wasn't made aware of any unavailable items when placing my order & was disappointed when the server came back to announce they were out of the Curry Patties. I proceeded to order the Dumplings & Thai Ginger w tofu, which was amazing. My food was served & I had to request chopsticks. That was the last interaction before I had to wave my hand for my ticket & to-go container. I'd been sitting there for roughly five mins prior, clearly done w my meal. This was ~5p on a Friday afternoon. It was not crowded; I was one of three seated patrons.

Diner Review №27

The food is always really good. My favorite is the chicken pad Thai and the Curry Puffs.

Diner Review №28

I, like other reviewers, have been a customer for several years. I have noticed that the quantity of food has decreased and the price has increased. Yesterday we ordered takeout and the portions of the Pad woon sen and Pad Thai included three very small pieces of chicken in each entree, for $11.95 each. We ordered the black pepper steak stir fry which was $17.95, and the portion was ridiculously small. For the amount of money that we spent, we expected much more food. It was definitely not worth the money and we do not plan on ordering again anytime soon.

Delicious. Great soundtrack. Awesome service. I'll be back.

Diner Review №34

I’ve been going here for a couple of decades, last several times, food portions have gone down significantly. Pricing has gone up Quality has gone down as well. JAN24. Will update if things change.

Diner Review №35

I went there a while ago and I came back and the food is half the amount for more. The food was very good but now I cant recommend it.

Diner Review №36

Tiny bites, high cost,
Asian flavors, lost in price,
Empty wallet, empty bowl.

Do better Thai Basil.

Diner Review №37

Nice little Thai place near Uta. I love the pad kee mow… it’s really good with either chicken or beef, decent price for portion size. I’ve came for lunch a couple times and both times service was quick and friendly. Really solid Thai spot although i have had even better Thai places.

This place is amazing. The green curry is phenomenal! Their fried rice is incredible. Everything is so fresh. Recommend this place.

Diner Review №41

Made a call order, basil fried rice with tofu and veggies with no brocolli. Gave me tofu fried rice didnt add veggies. Later when i called they were like bring the food i will fix it and then when i gave the food they aimply added uncooked raw veggies and gave it to me with brocolli which i said not to add..

Poor service and kitchen staff.

Diner Review №42

Best thai food around and it isn't even close. Pineapple fried rice is to die for, spicy lvl 4 for days. If you are a baby just stay at spicy lvl 1, do not test lvl 2. Trust.

Diner Review №43

Outstanding quality and value. It’s all good, though my favorite dish is the Pad Kee Mao. It’s loaded with fresh vegetables and is enough for two meals.

Great Food. The lady who owns this restaurant is lovely - I noticed that she welcomes everyone with her warm smile visits with them and, that makes a difference!!

Diner Review №49

I ordered pork pad thai. They gave me chicken pad thai and only 4 pieces of chicken at that.

Diner Review №50

Thai Basil was on point tonight. Everything they served was exceptional. The crab cream cheese rolls are unforgettably good. Check out this wonton soup:

Diner Review №51

My family and I enjoy getting food from here. Thank you all for the great food. God bless you all.

Diner Review №52

I got green curry to go! It was so good!

Diner Review №53

I haven’t eaten here before and just got take out for lunch. I’m not really happy with the portion size for the price. I’m used to eating on fried rice a couple of times and I would at least expect there to be more than 4 little pieces of chicken in my basil fried rice. Also, the onions and peppers were huge pieces and barely cooked. My daughter got the pad Thai and she liked it. I’m not sure if I got them on an off day?

Diner Review №54

Pas Thai was alright not the best honestly save your money

Diner Review №55

This place was very calming but even more important the food was delicious and service was fantastic! The waitress and owner were very attentive and kind. We are from out of town and next time we return, we will come back here! It's been a long time since I have had good authentic Thai food. This place is amazing!

We got the kapow crispy pork, chu-chee fish, chicken lettuce wrap and crab cream cheese rolls and all of it was fantastic!! Lots of wonderful yummy flavors!

Diner Review №56

Great traditional Thai! Had to wait a little bit for the food, but they kept our drinks full and they were busy. It was well worth the wait!
Food came out hot and looked and tasted amazing!
Chu chee fish!
Lvl 4 spice hot but not too hot.
Chicken lettuce wrap appetizer was hard to beat, I almost enjoyed it more than my main dish.

Diner Review №57

Excellent food and service. I have eaten there many times and picked up food to go. Hot and fresh.....Variable levels of spice available...

Again and again I highly recommend this place.

Diner Review №69

Came for lunch with my family on a Friday. First thought was that floors were rather dirty despite us being the only diners there.

However, the food definitely made up for it. The food was well-priced and well-portioned; it was around 13 dollars per person for a good amount of food. We ordered the chicken pad thai, beef Thai fried rice, and one of the stir fries with beef. Food was extremely good and left with three plates wiped clean. Definite recommend, just a bit dirty.

Diner Review №71

We visited Dallas for a church event and craved Thai food! Did a google search and this venue was the closest to our air bnb! We were not disappointed! Very yummy food! The service was pretty good, except our server kept forgetting what we ordered. Nonetheless she was still pleasant! The Thai Iced tea was so good! Nice first time experience! I would recommend it!

Diner Review №72

Our food came out quickly. The steam dumplings were a delicious Starr and both curries were flavorful, creamy, and filled with fresh vegetables

Diner Review №73

We like the service, the food here. And my daughter really like the fried ice cream here. Thanks for taking care of our dinner.

Diner Review №74

Diner Review №75

The pad kee mow is delicious and spicy and has good veggies but they didn’t give enough quantity. They could have given some more. The fresh rolls are good too and I love the peanut sauce! The cinnamon almond dessert is amazing!!!! So delicious!!! I love this place.

Diner Review №76

The spice level of the pad thai was perfect. Usually places never have any spice for level 1, but it was the perfwcr kick. I also got the mango sticky rice was delicious. At first i thought they didnt give me enough rice, but it ended up being just the right amount.

Diner Review №77

I haven't had Thai food this good in a long time. Two other area Thai restaurants couldn't even compare. The last time my husband and I remember Thai this delicious, we were dining in San Francisco! Thank you, Thai Basil!

Diner Review №78

Great googily moogily....this place is DELICIOUS!!!! I grew up in a small town in northern AZ that had just a few Thai places, but one of them was the best I had ever had in my life. Even after traveling a lot in my 20's and 30's, I hadn't found a place that bested my beloved old Dara Thai....until now. My wife and I tried Thai Basil for the first time last week and now we're getting it again today. It's so unbelievably good and I don't say that about just anywhere. It officially took the #1 spot in my favorite Thai places of all time. Cannot say enough good things!!!

Diner Review №79

Quite wonderful food and service

My girlfriend had us stop in today. Loved the music, the quaintness and cleanliness of the restaurant. Located in a little shopping center. Nice wait staff. Good choices. Everything was presented lovely on the plates, and tasted the same. Will be back.

Diner Review №82

Delicious food. We came back from Houston for this food.

Diner Review №83

Love Thai Basil! The food is always delicious. I wish they would hire a person to help the server. She is trying to do everything.

Diner Review №84

Very tasty. Fast and friendly service

Diner Review №85

Diner Review №86

Spent over $50 for 2 meals and 1 appetizer...Food arrived warm, not hot. Paid $20 for the Black Pepper Steak which was SMALL plus had to pay an extra $3 just for fried rice??! Yellow curry was good ($13 w/NO meat) and vegetable rolls were decent but were literally just lettuce, cabbage and cilantro in a wrap, 2 for $7. Overall a very disappointing experience and won't waste my money here again.

Diner Review №87

It was ok, but there are better options for same price point with a short drive. Level 5 spicy was very mild.

Diner Review №88

Great good, friendly service—a delightful place! The Thai Ginger was delicious.

Diner Review №89

This is some of the best Thai food around. Everything we ordered was delicious: green curry, pad Thai, Thai ginger, and the mango sticky rice. The service was quick and the staff was friendly. The owner of the restaurant came over to ask how our food was. Amazing customer service and super tasty food! We will definitely be back!

Incredible curry, and super friendly service!

Diner Review №101

Portions are small. But the most concerning thing and why I’m giving 1 star!!! Is how there was a misunderstanding with my order and the Manager asked her to pay for half of my bill and then made the waitress stand there untill I signed the check.absolutely ridiculous!!!!!!

Diner Review №102

Been here a few times already and I already know my favorites. Duck Curry & Broccoli w/ Crispy Pork. I like spice so I usually get 3/4. The dessert egg rolls are great! Check this place out

Diner Review №103

The food was tasty but the portions were pretty small. We got drunken noodles and yellow curry for takeout and the amount of rice I received was pretty laughable. I debated making more at home.

Diner Review №105

If there is a Thai restaurant in Arlington, where can you find it? The location for you is here. This is one of the best Thai restaurants in the Arlington region, in my view and taste. Despite the fact that the restaurant is not particularly busy, it has been established for a long time and places a strong emphasis on quality. It's not like a newly opened Thai restaurant that considers itself to be "The Best in Town." Eatery Thai Basil Leaf: Cozy setting that seems like home; the lady treats you like a relative. The meal is delivered swiftly, and the flavor is altered depending on the level of spiciness you want. When you visit this location, you should try the Thai tea. Crab Cheese is a fantastic appetizer that tastes great right away. In general, it's a smart idea to voice your views. This establishment, which I believe serves Thai food, is one I would suggest.

Diner Review №106

I would say this place is just average. The food was ok. The price is little more for the food. I mean there are better Thai restaurants with cheaper price.

Diner Review №107

Dec. 2022
Had lunch and ordered Crispy Shrimp (appetizer), Pad See Ew, Beef Noodle Soup, and Pad Woon Sen. The Pad Woon Sen might be my new favorite dish!! Everything else was good too!

Aug. 2022
Stopped by for a Friday lunch and it was pretty busy. They are a bit short-handed so it took a while to get our order taken, but the lady serving us was very nice and had a great sense of humor. I ordered the Pad See Ew. It was good.

2017
I visited with my family and a group of friends. The place is not large, but has a cozy feel. No loud music so you can enjoy conversations with people on the table. We had Pad Thai, Pad See Ew & Spicy Basil. Everything tasted good, but didn't particularly stand out. The staff was nice and friendly. The food didn't take long to come out. I would go back again.

Ordered the Pad Thai on three occasions and it was bland every time, even tried it with level 5 spice and it still lacked flavor and heat.

Never disappoints. I usually get the Thai basil rice or green curry rice.

The hosts are extremely patient and friendly. Admire their hospitality. They gave a warm welcome.

Being vegetarian; they generously customized the food for me. I enjoyed the fried tofu and Corn Patties for starters. The Basil Fried Rice and Red Curry was delightful. Highly recommend this place for a quiet and peaceful dinner.

Diner Review №116

Absolutely love this place with a passion it's so good and sits in the perfect location and the staff has always treated me right. It's a shame that inflation got to them due to supplying issues everything is much higher in prices now I wish I could afford to eat here everyday like I used to but now it's like going to a high quality restaurant

Diner Review №117

Food is always delicious and staff is welcoming. Will always come back.

The food is always good and staff is friendly. We eat here a few times a year but I crave it a lot.

Diner Review №125

Rude, showed up 45 min till close to eat at the establishment , wanted to try this establishment from the reviews, and they basically said no... To go orders only., There were 2 tables (3 people) sitting waiting for food but the cashier refused to seat us ...

I get if we show up 10 or 15 min before close that they can close the front of the restaurant but we were 45 min prior to closing... I caught the owner just looking at us through the kitchen window as we stood there for 5 minutes waiting to be seated... Why didn't he come out while we waited to be seated

We waited for the cashier to finish taking a phone order , 5 minutes, to be seated. That's when he dropped the No we are not going to seat you...

Not recommending this place because the team wanted to go home early, basically saying they don't care about serving, and I bet that reflects how they care about the quality of the food when they are so focused at closing the restaurant down early.

Having just moved nearby, this one place we will be crossing off the list.

Diner Review №126

This little restaurant is a treasure! The food was amazing, and our waiter was super helpful and friendly. Alex knows the entire menu and explains the dishes well. It was really nice to see him enjoying his job. The crab cream cheese rolls are fantastic. We had the Pad Thai, Peanut Broccoli, and Pad See Ew. They were all amazing!!

Diner Review №127

My daughter recently moved to Arlington. We love Thai food, so we decided to try this neighborhood restaurant together. They didn’t disappoint. Fresh ingredients and very good curry. It is in front of a HS so keep that in mind if you go during lunch hours. Reasonable prices.

Diner Review №128

Hot food- served on time- taste is so fresh as well. I think the portions are overpriced but covid hit all these small businesses hard. The mango sticky rice could be creamier. We got peanut chicken. 🥜 loved it

Diner Review №129

The food was REALLY good and fresh! The service was stellar, too. I'm definitely going back!

Diner Review №130

Staff is totally untrained on how to handle the problems that might come up in a business. I just wish y’all’s system was as good at giving people their money back for food they never received as you were taking the money in the first place. To be treated like a liar and hung up on when I offered to bring my order confirmation, credit card statement, and screenshots that all went through on a day the business was closed (with no indication except a sign on the door that you got to see after your already placed the order) is ridiculous. Ordering is always difficult here but never realized how it frustrating it could actually get

Diner Review №131

Food is awesome :) I'm almost a regular customer here.

What I really love here:
- Soups (Tom yum or veggie)
- Fresh salad roll
- Fried rice
- Curries etc.

I admire how they manage both cheap and fancy options! It's always good to have cheap excellent quality food. I don't understand why they have stuff shortage. Last day when I visited, same guy was serving and managing the cash!! I wish the owner will take care of the business.

If you are a healthy and quality food lover this is the place to go!!!

The amount of food they give you in a to-go order has significantly decreased. Food was good, but the small portions are not satisfactory. I will be taking my business elsewhere.....

We gave this restaurant a second chance and we were very pleased. The food here is honestly the best Tai food in Arlington.

Really really need to hire more waitresses. There is just one and she needs help!

Diner Review №136

Love!! I came in today and had amazing service. The person taking my order did an excellent job and I most definitely recommend coming by this place. The food was good too. Glad I took the time to sit and eat before heading on with my day.

Ordered extra veggies costing $2 extra, got one piece of broccoli in the pad Thai. They insisted it was extra veggies… Also ordered a chicken fried rice with no onion… it was covered in onions. Sent it back after they “fixed” it… didn’t give me extra chicken. After saying it would be 10m til my order was ready, it was really 25m.

This was phenomenal. We will be back. Everything was superb.

Diner Review №152

Heads Up , this place no longer have lunch specials available which sucks ,and take out portion is a little skimpy for the price. I ordered Spicy Basil with a side of spring rolls .This ran me roughly $20 which wasn’t too bad considering the food was fresh and delicious. The rice had a lot of great flavors . I plan on going back to try other things

Diner Review №153

THE BEST!!!! I got the Pineapple Fried Rice with shrimp.... Amazing!!! Tell them Shane Anderson the Red Head sent you :P

Diner Review №154

The pad won sen and fried spring roll are my favorite!

Diner Review №155

Great authentic Thai food! Our family had four dishes and shared. Tom Kha soup was delicious , as was the Pineapple Curry Chicken, pad kee mow, and the Thai tea. We also had a salad with an unappetizing name, Larb, but it was indeed delicious.

Diner Review №156

Amazing Thai food. This is my second time here and let me tell you the food was on point. Now this explain why they are busy every time I go to pick up my food. I don't mind the longer wait time because it is totally worth it.

Diner Review №157

Amazing food and great service.

Roasted duck was good. I got 5 star spicy and wasn't TOO spicy. 💯

Diner Review №159

This food is delicious! I forgot to take pictures of the food because it was so good. I’ll add them next time I visit.

Diner Review №160

I’ve become a regular customer in these past few months :D It’s a clean, decent place for Thai food lovers. The food is delicious and the employees are great. I have tried their Crab fried rice, Green curry rice and Basil fried rice. We can suggest our spice levels.

Diner Review №161

Best Thai food around! The Saute chicken with Peanut Sauce, Phenomenal! The Pineapple Curry with Chicken, Delicious! Had the Tom Kha Soup, Very Good! The Sweet Stickey Rice with Mango for Dessert, OMG, So Good! I've eaten here twice now and hard to believe, was better (very delicious each time). The food is not overpowering by one seasoning or another, which makes the meal truly something to enjoy!

Diner Review №162

Fast, friendly service with great tasting authentic Thai food 😋

Diner Review №163

The food was basic. I've had better fried rice. For spicy level I asked for 3 out of 5. The food was bland, I think they forgot to put any spice. To make the food taste better I asked for some lime, the waitress told me it was going to be an extra $1 for a full lime to what I agreed. She came back with 3 slices. Then I thought she wasn't going to charge for it since it wasn't a full lime as she specified. But she did charge it. Sorry to write a review over a $1 in limes but then I didn't enjoy my food like I like it. I love Thai food, but won't be coming back to this restaurant. I went on a Monday and was the only one eating at that time. I gave 2 stars and not one because the fried spring rolls were good.

Diner Review №164

Good food for takeout, I wouldn't stay for the service, it's kinda hit or miss.

First time there and the food was delicious! My friend and I were also greeted by an amazing server who helped us through the process. Definitely would comeback again! :)

Diner Review №177

Very delicious!

Diner Review №178

Takeout curry was not curry consistency. The panang curry was a very watery and diluted down in flavor. Perhaps the dine-in dishes are of a different quality?

Diner Review №179

Tried this place today and just wow. I was feeling something different and decided on here based on the reviews. I got pad Thai rice and it was absolutely perfect. Very full taste and the absolute perfect amount of spice. I'm excited to return

Diner Review №180

Great food !!!

Diner Review №181

Great food, awsome service!

Diner Review №182

Food was great.

Diner Review №183

This place was not good what so ever. First off they didn't have thai tea. Then I tried ordering some appetizers and the first 2 I asked for, they didn't have either. So thats fine I get it, that happens when you have lots of customers, but the worst part was the food. It wasn't traditional Thai. For spice all they had was some acidic hot sauce, and Sriracha.... thats it. They had no hot oil! The waitress didn't even know what hot oil was! Come on. Then the entrees, i asked them for the spiciest which was a 5 out of 5, it was a 2 out of 5 on spice and tasted like all they did was put loads of that acidic hot sauce in it. Thats it. This is a very white washed thai restaurant that I would not recommend going to.

Diner Review №184

I love the Tom Yum and especially you gotta try the Curry Duck. Thai Coffee was good at well

Food is great. We ordered the spicy red curry with shrimp and fried rice. Both were very tasty. Only no of shrimp in the red curry was less in amount than expected for the rice. Overall, we will comeback soon

I have called Thai basil twice in the last 3 days. The first time, someone answered the phone and said (in an extremely fast voice) “Thank you for calling Thai basil, call back in 5 minutes please”, then hung up. I didn’t even have time to respond.

I called again today and the lady who answered said “thank you for calling Thai basil, have a good day bye bye”. Like, wth? I’ve called in the past when they are busy and they literally just disconnect the phone.

I once called in a large to go order several hours ahead of time, and they were STILL an hour late with getting the order ready.

I’ve been a long time fan of Thai basil (we eat here probably several times a month easily) since 2016. These last two poor customer service encounters have led me not want to return to Thai basil...you will not be getting my business or recommendation unless you fix these issues.

Get it together Thai basil. If you are short staffed, hire more people. And learn better customer service, to which you are extremely lacking.

I’ll be headed to Beruit Cafe. Where they actually handle customers and pick up the phone.

Great food, but unfortunately the last few times I have called to place an order someone will pickup and just thank me for calling and hang up on me. I don't know if they don't take orders via phone anymore, or if it's just a lazy employee, but it's disappointing.

Talked to a Thai without flying all over the damn place.

Ignore the bad reviews for this place. Some people can’t be pleased no matter what. This place has incredible food and people working here are very nice. Definitely worth a try but you should order 20-30 minutes ahead of time of getting takeout.

One of the best Thai restaurants in DFW metroplex

Great Food! Server was sweet. I take away a star for cleanliness. The floors and the bathroom looked like it had been a while since they were cleaned.

Arrived to find dine in closed but people eating inside. I asked to dine in like them and I was told on no your not friend. I was really excited to eat here but I won’t be back now.

Diner Review №198

Unpleasant service from the one staff member who seems to be the only employee who is ever there. She acts like she’s doing you a favor and you’re inconveniencing her with your business. Food used to be much better, not sure what happened. I used to enjoy this place, but with poor service and just ok food, there is no longer a reason to come back.
