I had ordered from this place once before without issue, and thought I’d try it again. Got food poisoning from the Pra Ram, it was the only thing I ate that day. They deleted my review from door dash so I’m leaving a review here so that people are aware that they are lax in their food handling procedures, and may get sick from improperly handled food.

Food was delicious and the service was great. Our server made sure we had everything we needed throughout our time here. The atmosphere had great music and the place was very clean. We enjoyed the kimchi fried rice, fresh spring rolls, dry hot pot and lemongrass soup. An amazing place to eat recommend for anyone that needs a quick bite to eat.

Diner Review β„–12

Got the beef szechuan hot pot soup for $17.95 ($19 with tax) and it was good, the broth was very flavorful but i think that for the price it should have at least double the meat. The food was good but slightly overpriced. The menu is online only and you order through a website too (even when dinning in). Also parking is limited so be on the lookout.

Diner Review β„–28

Worst Pad Thai and Tom Kha soup I’ve ever had. The soup tasted like dirty dishwater mixed with coconut milk and some spices. The noodles lacked any real Pad Thai flavor, and were super oily. Tofu was mushy and gross. 0/10 I’m so disappointed I spent actual money on this. I’ve never written a review in my life, but this food was so awful I had to.

Diner Review β„–29

Foods are generally a bit too sweet for my taste. The servers are super nice

Diner Review β„–30

So delicious, and the spice levels are serious. Get there and plan to stay a while. There are too many tasty dishes on the menu to pick just one.

Diner Review β„–31

We're hooked on the spicy dry pot! Always so satisfying, and while rice is recommended, I prefer it over their udon noodles.

Have never had a bad dish here. The owners are very friendly.

Diner Review β„–36

The good is fabulous and I like their curries more than any other Thai restaurants in the area. The custom hot pots are also extremely good. The ambience is ok but service and food are excellent.

Diner Review β„–37

Please do not come here, this place is not sanitary and service is extremely bad. I have my service dog with me. It is a common practice to not touch or interact with service animals unless authorized by the trainer. The owner proceeded to threaten my service dog with their iPad and pushed the iPad to my service dog’s face. The owner thought it was a game to play with my service dog. My service dog felt threaten and reacted to the uncomfortable approach. The staff needs to be re-trained with common service animal etiquette.

Chill Thai restaurant with legit food! We had their Pad Thai and chicken curry and it was fantastic!

Diner Review β„–42

Diner Review β„–43

This food was gross!!!!!! GROSS! I would never ever recommend anything that isn’t the hot pot. The food I paid for was 15-18$ for the quality of 5$ Asian food. You’re honestly better going to Panda Express down the block.

Diner Review β„–44

I don’t like to give bad reviews
But highly disappointed with the food
I ordered online I don’t about the service and atmosphere

The curry soup was great but the shrimp was meh, flavor didn't get into the shrimp

Diner Review β„–51

A great place where you can create your own hot pot! The hot pots are prepared in the kitchen and brought out warm, allowing everyone to enjoy a personalized dining experience. If you like spicy Sichuan food, I recommend giving this place a try!

Diner Review β„–52

Excellent food! I spent 13 years in the Navy and visited Thailand several times, this is good Thai food...THE BEST I'VE HAD IN AUSTIN. I would have included pictures but I was too busy eating lol. I will add pictures next time. I highly encourage you to try this restaurant and I recommend either a hot pot of your liking or the Drunken Noodle. The attached photos show the same dishes ordered over several visits and show that the food is very consistent. The food is so good there may be a wait...WAIT! Not open on Tuesday.

Diner Review β„–53

The food is amazing, and the service only adds to it. I grabbed the meat lover’s dry hotpot and some vegetarian egg rolls, Bothe of which were delicious. I’d recommend you ask for the physical menu, particularly if you’re ordering in a group.

The pad Thai was gross. It was very tasteless. The other food we ordered was gross and salty as well. And it was 17$!!! For gross pad Thai?!
I don’t recommend this place. It seems like the hotpot is good but everything else is gross as we ordered a lot of food. Should’ve ordered the hot pot, oh well.

Diner Review β„–60

The food was delicious, coming in hot! Waitress is very helpful and patient! 2 thumbs up!

Diner Review β„–61

I have tried every hotpot they have. I strongly recommend the curry’s. I personally started maki g the custom one and have enjoyed that the most. No matter what you get you’ll be happy.

Diner Review β„–63

Our favorite place to eat, bar none, based on the number of times we visit here monthly. The food is delicious, and the hot pot combinations are endless. The owners are great and always stop by to chat with us and keep up with how things are going. Get there... enjoy yourself!

Diner Review β„–64

We ordered pad thai and thai fried rice. Pad thai was dry and dull. Thai fried rice was dry and salty. Not sure if the cook/management was replaced but it is hard to believe this place has a rating of 4.2.

Diner Review β„–65

Their pineapple curry is my favorite thing. Tastes like pure joy 😍😍😍

Diner Review β„–66

Great little spot! Relaxed atmosphere, easy to order, and kind staff! Very careful with peanut

Ordered the individual hot pot and it was great! Highly recommend if you want to be able to choose specific ingredients inside your soup. I got the Thai yellow curry and it was delicious, if a bit sweet. Definitely will come here again!

Diner Review β„–74

For a first timer, I I guess I just ordered the wrong thing, I get so confused when it comes to this kind of food. Although I like it but I just got the wrong bowl. Everything on their menu looks sooo delicious. I will forsure be going back to order something different.
Photos shows what I ordered. Their white rice is really good.

I got take out and the heat of the broth went through my bag and got on my seat πŸ˜’ so ask to double bag.

I can’t believe this place has been here for 7 years and I’m just now finding out about it!!! My boyfriend and I built our own hot pots. We tried the yellow curry and szechuan broths (we ate family style) and they were sooo good! It was really nice that we got to customize everything that went into it. The employees were attentive and friendly, making the atmosphere feel homey. We can’t wait to come back again!

Diner Review β„–83

Delicious, authentic

Diner Review β„–84

Thai is my favorite cuisine and I’m always looking for good Thai. I was hoping this spot would be a new fave since it’s close to our new neighbor. Sadly, it was not. In fact, it was the worst Thai food I’ve ever had in my life πŸ˜” we both tried their special - choice of noodles w choice of curry. I opted for the green curry with flat rice noodles and shrimp. The portion was ample, the flavor was pleasant, but the dish itself was a big soupy mess. And I couldn’t believe that they use frozen carrots, peas, and corn medley for their vegetable. Most Thai places will bring out some fresh basil for garnish, but they did not. When I asked for it, the basil arrived warm and limp. Apparently, they steam it, which was strange. The worst part was that my one bowl was $17. I’m giving them 2 stars because our server was very sweet.

Diner Review β„–85

Diner Review β„–86

Every time we want to eat out we come to this place but today it was very disappointing. I got veggie spring rolls and literally we paid almost $15 for rice paper and lettuce. It was supposed to have noodles and tofu.., and it was very empty. We are not coming back. I get it people are trying to save as much money as possible but this is how you lose business.

Diner Review β„–87

By far the best tasting thai food in Austin period!!! Absolutely authentic and delicious. We love thai food and checks out every thai restaurant when visiting a new city or state. I placed a to go order today and each bite was worth the trip. We have tried many thai food in the austin area and this restaurant is by far the best tasting. None of the restaurants ce close. Absolutely delicious thai restaurant around and trust me when I say I am very picky about food and thai food in general. You will not regret it. Absolutely delicious!!!!!! πŸ’―

Diner Review β„–90

I don't see how the reviews could be lower then 5 because this place is literally so good and flavorful. The red curry hot pot is probably the best one here, but you can't go wrong with the other flavors too! The owners are also so sweet! Definitely our favorite hot pot spot to go to!

Diner Review β„–91

Had a chicken pad thai and veggie spring roll at a big event tonight. The spring roll was delicious - hot and fresh and crispy! Keep in mind, this was a big event and he had preprepared boxes so extra kudos my friend! The chicken pad thai was good too, even after picking out the chicken (vegetarian). Want to hit this truck up on a regular day and try the Tofu dishes!

Diner Review β„–92

Ordered curry fried rice - worst one ever had.
Too pricy as well for the taste and quality.

Diner Review β„–93

The dishes weren’t like Thai but Asian fusion. Tasted a bit too salty for me.

Diner Review β„–94

Don’t come here if you are looking for authentic Tom Kha.

Diner Review β„–95

The BEST Pad See Ew I ever had!! My to-go container was stuffed with beef, broccoli, carrots, noodles, and egg. So GOOD!! I ate it all in my car while writing this review.
The woman behind the counter was so kind and welcoming. I’m telling everyone about this place!!

Couple of days back, I ordered food from this restaurant through GrubHub, and it was a delightful experience. The cashew nut entree with Tofu was a flavorful stir-fry featuring green onions, bell peppers, carrots, and cashew nuts, all perfectly complemented by the tofu and a hint of roasted dry hot chili. The vegetable thai fried rice, made with jasmine rice, egg, tomatoes, onions, broccoli, and crispy garlic, was a delightful side. The food was well-seasoned and delivered in a timely manner. This restaurant has certainly earned my recommendation for its delicious thai cuisine, and I look forward to ordering from them again.

Diner Review β„–106

i have been here 6 times now with friends and tried enough to say everything is AMAZING, i love all the hotpot options and they're perfect to split. Also a huge fan of the appetizers and the thai tea (one of the better ones i've had in Austin)

My wife loves hot pot, not my thing so the individual hot pot here is a big win for us! She loves it and I get the Pad See Ew and the kids love the satay - the lady I think is the owner is very nice too

Yellow curry pot is a bit too runny but it tastes good. Rice has to be ordered separately. I imagine this will be a top priority for me in cold weather.

Diner Review β„–115

Basil Thai has the best comfortable food for me in a healthy way. I like pick the soup and meat and vegetables by myself from the menu to make an individual hot pot! When I was pregnant I ate the food, and now my children like eating with me together! The place is very clean. The speed of serving is fast in regular hours. In high peak hours, the waiting time is also reasonable! The service is wonderful-always welcoming and kind and considerate. I like the spacious seating space! How comfortable when I am sitting with my children without stresses being to close to others. This restaurant accompanied me for years and gave me comfort and good food for many important days-for when I was pregnant, for I was busy for work, for I was dating with my husband, for I was having fun with my good friends, for I felt sick and needed comfortable soup, for I was eating with my children to make them feel happy, for my husband hanging out with his friends, for when we treated our visitors and families! So many beautiful memories!

We love this place! Hotpot dishes are what we normally order. Dine in at least 2+ time a month. I actually like the new app that you can place order on phone, they still have paper menu if needed. β€œCreate your own hot pot” is the best option and each time they deliver the perfect flavor. Pork egg rolls and cashew chicken are delicious too. So far every dishes we ordered are exceptional.

I went to Basil Thai during my lunch break. I walked here because it is close to were I work. The lady that attended me was polite and attentive. I got rice with shrimp, chicken and veggies. I also got a Thai drink which was milky and it looked orange as shown in picture. It was very good!

Nice Thai place that specializes in Hot Pot! We got the Drunken noodles and Panang curry, both were delicious! The Drunken noodles especially were very flavorful. Next time we will try the hot pot, we didn't this time because we came for lunch. The prices are very reasonable too, cheaper than a lot of other Thai places in town.

Diner Review β„–130

Service was quick and friendly. I got the Tom Yum Goong. Very nice. With thai iced tea.

Diner Review β„–131

Good thai food! Large portion size!

Diner Review β„–132

Not sure how this place had been getting bad reviews, but I've been coming here for years! I like to get the individual custom hot pots, so I can't speak too much on their other dishes. Their broths tend to be thinner, but keeping in mind the experience of hot pot and having your add-ins flavor your broth, they do a good job. I used to get the szechuan Mala broth, which is super spicy and good for this pepper head, but opted for the panang curry (spicy) with the lamb and curry combo inside it this week. My friend got the miso broth for his (mild) and we both really loved our dishes! The staff is super nice, it was clean, and the food was delicious (great portion size too and I get to take some leftovers hehe). It might not be the best hot pot in town, but it definitely hits the spot and is a great value!

Diner Review β„–133

I was excited to try this place, but it didn't pan up to expectations. You order at your table from your phone, which is okay, but my preferred method. I ordered noodles, and my husband got wings. I felt both were cooked in rancid oil. The flavors were off, and I did not enjoy the meal. I typically live Thai food, so this was really disappointing.

Diner Review β„–140

The food was excellent, had thw Pad Thai (medium spic)e) and thw Pork egg rolls. Both items were very good could be more attentive when it comes to refilling or refreshing drinks. Initial delivery of drinks after ordering was quick. I had to flag someone down to get a new drink and with sitting still eating the Ice water (second drink once flagging down someone) was not refilled.

Diner Review β„–141

There is little no choice for hot pot in Austin area. This one will do fine if you just want to ease your craving for hotpot. But do not come with a very high expectations. Create your own hot pot option does cost a bit more than a set. The staff is friendly.

Diner Review β„–146

Probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had in Austin in the past decade. I did the β€œmake your own hot pot” and it was sooo good. The Szechuan soup base is SPICY even if you get it at the lowest spice level but it was soooooooo good!! And the udon noodles were absolutely amazing. I’m definitely coming back over and over again!

Diner Review β„–147

Consistently good. Great taste. Huge amounts. Friendly and Homey ☺️

Diner Review β„–148

went here with my boyfriend for dinner. great food and service. food came out pretty fast too :)

Diner Review β„–149

Good vegetarian Thai options. The food is tasty. Ordering happens on a smartphone. Would be better if they added a few more hot sauces. They have Wi-Fi, too. I tried the cashew stir fry one time and eggplant stir fry next time. Both were good. Service is fast.

First time I went, the food was amazing. The food quality was consistent every time I visit. Service is amazing, food is amazing. I just keep going back for the "create your hot pot" item and it always keeps me smiling. If you want spice, that's the place to go.

Diner Review β„–159

We had high expectation but was cruelly crushed. The pad woon sen was bad. The Basil pork (pad kra pao) was very bad. The tom kha gai was just a watery mess. All the dishes did not taste like Thai food at all. Very disappointed, I am not sure if this was due to us showing up at 30 minutes before closing time and the main cook was gone or this is how it usually is.

Update: So the owner replied the following - apparently in private.
Response from the owner
I know you and understand you. Using a advanced ordering system is not easy. Study harder please.

Funny! The problem is with the food. Not ordering system. But if you think you have a higher education than me. More power to you. However, for a restaurant, I think the quality of the food is more important.

Diner Review β„–160

I absolutely love this place. The food is great! You can make so many combinations with the curry. Big portions. So flavourful. At this point I'm getting food to go a few days a week. You got to try it!

Diner Review β„–161

It was an amazing time eating at basil thai! I got the tom yum seafood individual hotpot and it was wayyyy too good. The flavor was just so familiar to what my grandma always cooks for me. Perfectly seasoned and the portion was perfectly portioned. The server was so nice too. If you go here, please make sure try the individual hotpot.

Delicious food, generous portions and very reasonably priced. I ordered a hot soup online, picked it up and it was still hot when I got home. It was very tasty. I really enjoyed it and will definitely go back.

Diner Review β„–166

I always get the make-your-own hotpot here. While its not exactly the Chinese hotpot that I crave, its still pretty good on a cold day.

Diner Review β„–167

Im a new fan of this place, to start, i like the way you scan the Menu and pick the items you want and the options to the item you pick, i liked how they bring you the beer in the bottle to pour it your way with a cold beer mug, i order the Chefs special Lemon Grass Chicken, Tom Kah Soup and (2) XX beers all for my self and everything was real good, i do recommend that you choose the right spicy level, oh the staff was quick and polite, i 100% recommend this place and will definitely come back 😊😊😊

Diner Review β„–168

The quality was horrible, the pad Thai didn’t even taste like the dish. The curry was literally soup and the actual Tom kha soup was so watery. Do not recommend

Diner Review β„–169

Absolutely delicious and it made my day

Diner Review β„–170

I got sick fr eating here it was just one time I tried and was throwing up for hours

Diner Review β„–171

Everyone can get their own hotpot with customizable toppings. I got a shrimp panang curry that was quite tasty but it’s a but sweet for me. It comes with a fire to keep the personal pot hot, but the soup is actually more enjoyable when it turns off.

Plenty of parking in the lot, and service was really quick. Ordering was a little confusing but everyone got what they needed.

Diner Review β„–172

We try this hotpot place and the dishes were just beyond our expectativas. They taste and smell just so good.

Diner Review β„–173

Diner Review β„–174

This place is good. I really liked the taste of the yellow curry, however I up charged to have chicken and only got two pieces (disappointing) and the tomatoes weren't needed, the Chicken satay was okay-ish (I have had way better). The star of the show was the chicken egg rolls! Perfection!!!

Diner Review β„–175

We love this place! Best red and green curry we’ve found in the area

Diner Review β„–176

The food was amazing. The green curry had the perfect amount of ginger. Good options for vegetarians as well.

Diner Review β„–177

Cool concept, decent execution. Ordered a pad thai and a build your own hot pot. Flavors were a little too sweet for our liking, not the usual authentic thai robust flavors. Both dishes were missing that punch that most Thai places have. The concept of the hot pot was the main reason for getting the 3 stars.

Ordered from GrubHub and they messed up the rice (asked for no egg). Ok, it happens. Submitted a complaint to GrubHub and re-ordered the dish with NO EGG. Well, wouldn’t you know… the rice showed up for a SECOND time with egg. This place is usually great but it looks like they’ve gone down the drain just like every other service business these days. Labor shortage or no, I won’t be back.

Diner Review β„–182

Diner Review β„–183

Short version: food was TOO SPICY HOT.

I ordered for a party of kids and specifically asked for some mild and some medium dishes. What was delivered was XXX hot food and the kids went home hungry. It was not one dish, but all their dishes were super hot. Mind you, I can eat spicy food but this one I cannot eat.

I called the store and the owner refused to accept that their food might have issues. For example, they probably got a more potent batch of chillies. He kept repeating that that is their spiciness standard. If that is your standard, buyer beware, and taste it before paying for it.

Diner Review β„–184

Has a wide variety of noodles, curries, noodle soups and fried rice too!

Polite staff and decent prices.

Some dishes can be spicy but definitely tasty.

Definitely worth a visit.

Honestly an underrated hole in the wall. Build your own hotpot, is what I usually come for and it never disappoint. The Broth are flavorful and the toppings is enough to make you full. Amazing chicken wings and satay, I only tell a select few about this place because it’s a family own business with what seems like two employees. Please be patient with them.

I had a lamb hot pot with tom kha broth/soup here. It was so good. The broth and the lamb were well-seasoned and tasted just right. Too bad that I forgot to take a photo of it. There's one thing I didn't expect is that the portion was much smaller than I thought and so it was only good for one person.

Ordered the Red Curry (more oil then I'm used to) and chicken wings appetizer and it was ok. Not the worst or the best, but ok. -- Next time I'm going to try the hot pot as this is what the restaurant is most celebrated for.

Very nice people and very good food.

I ordered an individual hotpot with kimchi broth. The broth was awful. It was weirdly sweet, didn’t even taste like kimchi. I could’ve sworn this was some sort of variation of tomato soup.

This place takes "Build your own bowl" to a whole other level.

Absolutely loved the level of customization you can do with your meal.
Went there with a vegetarian buddy, and he was just as happy with his meal.

As a spice lover, I absolutely loved the schezwan soup base. Was much more in terms of flavor than it was raw heat.
That and the choice of noodle and 4 sides, made it all that much better.

My buddy picked a Thai yellow curry, which he said he absolutely loved. (It's pretty mild... So if you're not a huge fan of spice, then that's a good option to go for.)

Portion wise, it's a lot of noodles and soup in a very deep soup bowl.
And you can ask for chopsticks if you're a fan of that.

Attached a photo of the bill for how much you're likely to pay for noodle soup (the ones described above) for a party of 2.
(Note that all meats cost $12.95, except for shrimp which is a dollar on top of that)

If you're not a huge fan of building your own bowl, you can pick one off their menu.

Between that, there's also a single person hotpot, and other options as well.

Will most certainly visit again if I'm in the area

Love this place so much! The lady that works in the front is so so nice (I think she might be the owner) is one of the reasons we keep coming back! I always get the create your own noodle soup with thai panang curry base! My husband gets the crest your own hot pot with yellow curry and he loves it as well! Their thai tea is also amazing, I usually get one to go for after our meal.

Ordered curry fired rice and food was bad. The rice was half cooked and the rice used was not jasmine (Thai) rice. Never had such a fired rice in Thai restaurant.

First time trying this was a good experience at best.

The restaurants was clean and the staffed welcomed me in, never try Thai food in my life and got the drunkin noodles with chicken little spicy and beef egg rolls.

The egg rolls definitely surprised me as it was crispy and the meat was alittle tender and steaming hot.

The noodles were decent but the chicken was over cooked or cheaper cut used, it was rubber and dry.

For the price of what I got was cheap and probably goes hand and hand for the quality of the food for the prices.

Still good try and definitely interested in what else they have to offer.
