Delicious! πŸ€” No, super delicious. We decided to try Sweet Basil restaurant . I got Seafood curry (yellow level 1 on spicy) it was super delicious. My wife and I normally go to a place by the square for Thai food . But let me tell ya, in my personal opinion this Thai restaurant is way better. Kudos! We shall eat here again....sooner than later. A++++.

I’m not one to leave reviews often, let alone a negative one….this was the worst Thai food I have ever had.
I ordered 3 different dishes and couldn’t eat any of them. Watered down base, lacking in flavor, and the meat was mealy and had a funky taste.
I hope they read this and get the kitchen back on point. Something is clearly off.

This Thai restaurant serves one of the best pad see ews (soy sauce noodles) in town. We like ordering it either with chicken or tofu. Our go-to appetizer is the shrimp in the blanket. I love the sweet sauce it comes with and sometimes I pour the leftover sauce on the noodles. I’ve also ordered the tofu delight and the golden duck. All great dishes that taste delicious. The duck is crispy which I like. We are also mindful of β€œThai spice” so if you can handle it, definitely go for more than a level 2. Portions are adequate and we tend to have leftovers that we take home. Service is always great here and the lady that serves us is so nice. Thai is a comfort cuisine for us and this place does not disappoint. We love coming here and we visit pretty frequently. Overall, it’s a must-try if you love Thai food!

Diner Review β„–17

Sweet Basil is my go-to!!! The appetizers, soups, curries, fried rice, noodle dishes, and entrees are all out of this world delicious. Plus, I really love the decor and ambiance of the restaurant. We would eat here every day if we could. Can’t decide what you want from the menu? Ask any of the super kind waitresses!

All in all, such a gem in the community! I wanna keep them around, so please support them!

My go for Thai food. The food is outstanding.

Diner Review β„–19

We haven’t been here in a while but we started coming to this restaurant 12 years ago. Our favorite dish is the House Cashew Chicken. I forgot just HOW DELICIOUS it is. The Panang Curry is delicious too. The atmosphere is relaxing and the servers are attentive and kind. This is a great Thai spot!!! Huge parking lot and there’s a J. Crew next door to boot! Perfect for a casual date night πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

Diner Review β„–23

Great Thai food! We ordered the chicken satay great flavor. Hubby enjoyed his plate of Pad Thai and I ordered the basil chicken ginger it was flavorful and balanced with veggies and chicken. The atmosphere is relaxing and calm. Overall enjoyed the Thai food and service was attentive and kind. Will be back. 😊

Diner Review β„–24

They are one of my favorite Asian mom and pop restaurants. Service is always excellent!

My favorites are Golden Duck, Three Flavored Fish, House Cashew Chicken and Spicy Basil, but made Thai Style over rice with fried egg on top.

Papaya Salad is so good! Reminds me of my mom’s papaya salad, so delicious!

Diner Review β„–26

Unfortunately, we've detected a downward food quality trend here over the past 6 months. Tonight's dishes were green curry chicken and green curry pork. Curry was watery, with no depth and veg was nearly raw--tolerable with the green pepper but the eggplant was nearly inedible. Portion size was okay. This is the 3rd time with similar results. Sadly, we don't plan to go back.

Diner Review β„–27

It's alright... I got the spicy basil, and that's fine. I also got the thai salad, and I'm really disappointed with it. It's basically cabbage (barely sliced), with some meat...

Diner Review β„–29

Very disappointed. Name says β€œBasil Thai” but no where to find at leave fresh basil or Thai flavors. Pls train your chef to make at least good Red Curry. (They use bell pepper as only their veggie) Very Small portions. I usually don’t leave bad reviews but this is at the very bad level of Thai food. find at least some one can cook Thai food.

Diner Review β„–30

Sweet Basil is our favorite Thai restaurant in Denton. My husband loves Spicy Noodles and Tom Kha. Today I had these crisp Crab Wontons with their in-house sweet and sour sauce. Spicy Fried Rice was aromatic and savory. Everything was just perfect with Tom Yam soup.

Very delicious food and good service but it was hot in the restaurant. I'd recommend the Fried Shrimp πŸ˜‹

Best cashew chicken dish Ever! I come to the place often on my lunch break, and I am never let down. Top 3 places to eat

Diner Review β„–34

This restaurant was very clean. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The appetizers were hot and fresh. The food was plentiful,hot, fresh ingredients. Very yummy. Our experience was great.

Diner Review β„–35

The red curry was delicious, but the portion size seemed a bit small and the vegetables overpowered the dish. The fried fish was decent, but it could benefit from better control of the salt levels.

Diner Review β„–36

This place has very good food and many selections for GF diets. The service has been excellent each time I’ve visited their location. Job well done Sweet Basil!

Diner Review β„–37

Came here for lunch and was delighted by the food and customer service. I got peanut chicken which was absolutely delicious. The lunch specials are a great deal. Will definitely be back!

Diner Review β„–38

Please do not waste your money on here. Food is bland the fried rice I ordered for level five spice came out sweet with no spice.
Heavenly beef Had no flavor really tough was supposed to be marinated in spices Thai people would be embarrassed. Returned. Both items just got comped for one so I donated money for bad food.

Friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and great lunch specials. This place has become my favorite place for lunch during the work week. I like their tom yum soup and pineapple fried rice. And I highly recommend getting yourself a pot of jasmine tea with your meal for those chilly days-- just lovely!

Diner Review β„–42

The staff is very nice, but the food was not as good as expected. The pad Thai was very dry, and the papaya salada was pre-made or felt premade and was very soggy. The portions were nice, but the food wasn't very tasty, a little too bland. The spring rolls have no meat, so it's a little too expensive for 6 dlls.

Diner Review β„–43

We enjoyed our meal . We ordered hot green tea, vegetable rolls with peanut sauce ,Pad Thai & Bangkok Chili / beef everything was hot and fresh if you like spicy with lots of vegetables the Bangkok is the way to go ! Very friendly service.

Diner Review β„–44

Good God, this place is nice!
It's surprisingly cheap, too.
Very flavourful food and not crowded at all around 3. Great place to grab a soup and study.

The group I attended with all arrived at different times. Each of us ordered apon arrival. The food was delivered in a timely manner in what I thought was reasonable portions. Our waitress was on point with refills, asking each new guest for their order, and gave advise for selections. The fried rice was good but that Thai Jerky was MMM MMM GOOD!!!

We are from Austin and stayed in Denton for the weekend. Came across Sweet Basil Thai Bistro, one of the cleanest restaurant we visited. Nice and warm atmosphere. Very friendly host and waitress with welcoming smiles. The food was super excellent. We ordered PadThai noodle, Chicken Wrap and Crab Rangoon and they also brought out the Thai traditional spices which we added to even spice up the dishes. We recommend this restaurant to the readers who are looking for Thai authentic food. We bookmarked this restaurant as our favorite. This is our 5th times at this restaurant for their delicious Thai foods. And, YES!!! We come to Dallas/Denton often. This is the greatest place to eat Thai Food.
***** Just LOVE Thai Foods ***** (5 Stars).

Finally tried Sweet Basil Thai Bistro today for lunch. If you like β€œsweet” Thai food this is the place for you. Traditionally spring rolls are savory…not here, even without adding the sweet sauce that they serve with the lunch portion appetizer the spring roll alone was sweet, maybe someone just went overboard with the palm sugar? The Beef and broccoli was bland & flavorless (I ordered a spice level 2 as I usually do at new Thai restaurants & asked for a chili tray to add my own). It seems they thicken their sauce for the beef & broccoli with corn starch or flour, whatever the case the texture & flavor was not consistent with traditional Thai cooking that I have experienced in the past. Needless to say not my fave.

Diner Review β„–62

This used to be one of our favorite places, but today it really wasn't good. The food took a long time to come to the table. My food came out with the meat barely warm, leading me to wonder if it was not cooked all the way, or if it had just been sitting out for a while. The vegetables were cold as if they had just come from the refrigerator and basically raw. I had to ask them to reheat my dish twice. At least it was warm after that, but the vegetables (carrots and broccoli) were still not cooked. The rice was dried out. Even just appetizers took forever to come. We had an order of salad rolls that didn't come until well after the food, even though all the other appetizers were there before that. The food here has gotten pricey and it's usually so delicious that I don't mind paying it, but today was really disappointing. Probably won't be returning.

Diner Review β„–63

Perfect! A Thai restaurant that is close enough for me to travel to on a regular basis.

There is plenty of parking because this is located at Denton Crossing outlet; that being said, there is also handicap parking available.

Our waitress sat us down immediately at our table upon entering the restaurant. She provided great service at our table, taking great care to make sure that our orders were right.

We ordered the Thai tea, and our waitress made sure that we had water to go along with our tea. She also checked up on us regularly throughout the meal.

The rice was cooked just the way we like it.

The appetizer we had was the chicken satay, which is chicken on a skewer with a peanut sauce to dip the chicken into. The chicken was thinly sliced and had an orange/red tint to it.

My wife had the house cashew chicken. She gave me a bite of her house cashew chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. She ordered it with medium heat.

I had the red curry with beef, and it came out in a good-sized bowl, which means it was a good-sized portion.

The atmosphere was wonderful, it is a small area and quaint. It is not overly decorated like some restaurants are.

The restaurant was very clean and tidy.

The restrooms were clean. These owners show to take pride in everything they do within this restaurant.

I can see us frequenting this awesome restaurant a lot in the future.

Diner Review β„–64

The food is worth the price. You can choose your spice level. This restaurant is one of my favorite places to go to.

Diner Review β„–65

Second time here and I feel very welcomed, the waitress is so nice, the food is delicious, HIGHLY RECOMMEND to come in here.

Diner Review β„–66

I absolutely love the food and the staff here!!! I come here a few times every month and today I got off work a little bit late and they still took my to go order 10 minutes before closing and knowing I wouldn’t be there till a couple minutes after closing. They stayed a little late and were super welcoming and sweet!

Diner Review β„–67

This is an unassuming restaurant that is big on flavor! So many great options from soups to spring-rolls to cashew chicken…”Most Famous” all served in generous portions! i had never had sticky rice- and I am here to tell you - do not knock it til you try it- delicious dessert!
The service was quick despite how busy they were, friendly and knowledgeable!
This place is definitely an unsung hero

Diner Review β„–68

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Denton. The Spicy Basil is my favorite dish! The Thai tea is great! The lunch portions are perfect and come with soup and either a wonton or spring roll. The lotus cups are a must try for the appetizer.

The waitresses are always very friendly and prompt. Couldn’t love this place anymore!

If you are looking for a health conscious or simply delicious experience this place will nail it every time! BYOB and family friendly atmosphere but romantic enough for a special evening if you prefer.
As for the lost important aspect in my book: the food! No less than 5 stars.

Excellent quality and portion for the price. Recently I had the ginger sauce fish and it was amazing! Other highlights would be the thai tea and yellow curry my mom had. Everything was hot and fresh and being a chef to some degree myself I could see the prevalent use of fresh vegetables and ingredients that my family and friends now expect and enjoy.

Be advised this is not a panda express experience and so the cooks rely on the natural flavors of the protein and sauces they use to flavor the food not sugar and glazed sauces.

All in all give the place a try and you will find quite the gem off of 288 in Denton for a satisfying experience! (If you like authentic Thai food)

Diner Review β„–76

I went to this Thai restaurant for the 1st time with coworkers, i got red curry from lunch special $10.99. Lunch special has complimentary soup, a spring rol and the main course. That was awesome for $10.99. The restaurant was nice and clean. The service was great. The waittress was nice and helpful. Highly recommend.

Got the level 5 Pad Thai, it was excellent! Awesome little spot to grab some flavorful, super spicy food.

Diner Review β„–79

I use to love this place, but the last 3-4 years it has been lacking taste. The House Cashew was amazing 5 years ago, but lately the chicken in the House Cashew has gotten that odd taste as if it was out too long or maybe old. It's been like that for 3-4 years. I keep giving it a chance, but I think 2023 will be the last. Portions also got smaller & prices have gotten higher. Typical Texas move πŸ™„

So, I read a lot of the reviews and was kind of up in the air about going here, but then I saw that they had several gluten free options. I love Thai food! I have Thai family, and my husband and I just came back from Hawaii where we ate a ton of Thai food. We ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken, the Pad Thai, Panang Curry, the Heavenly Beef, the Satai Chicken, and Thom Kha soup with Chicken. I can honestly say I was not disappointed in any of the food! It was all fabulous! I ordered everything at a heat level 2 (medium) which is plenty hot for me. Even my husband said that was a good heat level if you are trying not to burn your mouth. Unless you just like it super hot. We shared everything, and took a lot home. The portions were really good too! Lovely little restaurant, nothing too over the top. Casual dinning or to go. We ordered some food for our kids to take home as well. I was so excited to be able to have another place to eat in Denton when we come down!

Tried it for the first time tonight.. not for us.. got 6 shrimp in my entire meal that was $16 and the peanut sauce has tons of peanuts in it.. we have Been to a ton of Thai places and never have had actual peanuts in my sauce. I also requested no peanuts in my food so when opening the sauce and seeing it’s completely peanuts I was extremely disappointed. You also don’t get very much food for the price either. Small options also. Needs to be lower price for what you get and they need to clarify especially if someone specifically asks before ordering is they can get NO PEANUTS!

Diner Review β„–97

Wings were very dry . They didn’t have any flavor and for 8 dollars 5 wings seem very overpriced, considering the quality. Pad Thai was not good. It barely had chicken . I really liked the peanut sauce tho!

Diner Review β„–103

Mediocre at best. Stopped for lunch. The portion was small. The green curry seemed watered down. The waitress was sweet and attentive, otherwise it would have been two stars.
I'd rather try the other places in town than return here next time.

Diner Review β„–104

Has really declined in quality! Used to love this place.
Ordered curry fish cakes appetizers. Rubbery, inedible. Friend had to run to the bathroom to spit it out. And we still got charged! Called later to speak with managerβ€” same excuse as server, β€œIt says on front of menu that because of Covid food cannot be sent back.” They lost a longtime customer!

Had the sweet basil garlic chicken for lunch. It was delicious and the right amount for lunch. I will be back.

Noodles were spongy and lacking flavor. Also very basic/simple as far as Thai food goes. Even the fried rice came without any extra vegetables - only rice. Our 6 yr old asked where the carrots and peas were. Not bad, but left a lot to be desired.

Diner Review β„–115

Diner Review β„–116

Diner Review β„–117

The cost is relative to what I'm used to paying for Thai food, but the experience wasn't stellar. The portion sizes are about a third of what you'd get ordering the same type of entree from (for example) Chinatown Cafe, and this is a bit more expensive. On top of that, the sauces felt very thin and scarce. The ingredients felt like they were tossed together just before going out (EX: The chicken arrived on top of the other ingredients, and was mostly unsauced). They bill their cashew chicken as famous, but it was pretty underwhelming; cashews were whole, and you could heavily taste the oil in which the chicken had been cooked. The spring rolls felt mostly like air, due to the heavy amount of iceberg lettuce in them; with the only real pop there being the basil. The rice was also rather plain, even by sticky rice standards. The sauces were quite good, and everything we ordered was there. Not terrible food. I just don't plan on trying this again anytime soon.

Diner Review β„–118

We get Thai food a lot and almost always order the same items. Relative to other Thai restaurants, this restaurant’s portion sizes were REALLY small while actually more expensive than other restaurants. The food tasted fine but took a really long time (it initially said it would arrive at 6:45 but then kept getting pushed back and didn’t arrive until 7:15).

Diner Review β„–119

I ordered sweet basil ginger with tofu which cost $11+. The dish that was served you can count the tofu cubes, if I’m not mistaken 6-7 small cubes and the rest are small pieces of mushrooms, carrots and a bunch of onions. It isI not worth the money.

MY FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT. Please consider eating here because the vibe is chill, the servers are so sweet, and the food is so delicious!!! I tell all my friends to eat here. You should too. Don't listen to all these bad reviews, portion sizes are not supposed to be TEXAS sized, you fiends. You guys are unnatural. Also, if you have a problem with the portion size maybe you're just fat and eat like a big pig. Go back to the pig stye. Haterz. >:P

The food was good but why are the portions so small? The dinner size has me wondering what the lunch sizes are like.

Diner Review β„–127

Gross!! Watered down curry! Fish and chicken cooked on same grill obviously so the chicken has a fish task! Portion size is so tiny! Def not worth the money for quality or size!!

Diner Review β„–128

I've been a customer since Sweet Basil first opened many years ago, and their food is constantly delicious. The heavenly beef appetizer is a must, but I do miss the lotus cups! Keep up the great food and service!

Diner Review β„–129

We enjoyed this place for years! We like the Sweet Chicken Basil the most! These veggie rolls are good too! Kids like the chicken nuggets

Diner Review β„–130

All of the negative reviews on here and probably from people who hate their lives. Best curry I’ve had in my entire life. Our server was the sweetest and so attentive. This is a local gem and anyone who says other wise can fight me!!!! All the bad reviews are from people getting take out too. Not fair to review them badly for take out food. Quite being lazy and go out and eat.

Diner Review β„–131

It was okay. Fair portion size and decent service time. Nothing bad but nothing really great. Our server was very sweet!

Diner Review β„–144

So, I'm one of those people that likes to judge a restaurant based on how well they do certain appetizers. In this case, crab wontons. The crisp part of the wontons seemed stale, maybe the oil is off or they fried for just too long, and they also wouldn't pull apart. Not to mention, the cream cheese crab stuffing had no taste to it. Next item, Shrimp Pad Thai, where the shrimp tasted slightly 'off,' noodles stuck together, and the flavor of it was 'meh.' Thai Tea wasn't bad, but not the best I've had in area, which at that price point, I'd sooner go to the other place near UNT campus. The main redeeming feature of my order was the Tom Kha Ga, which is hard for places to make a flavor profile I like, but this one actually had a nice almost sweetness to it, though this soup was lacking in texture by being quite watery as well as having measley amounts of chicken or veggies. I'd order again, but only if I wanted just soup.

Diner Review β„–145

Diner Review β„–146

Hands down, my favorite Thai restaurant. Their food is absolutely fantastic and of great quality. I have often ordered delivery from them, and the food always comes hot and fresh. When I dine in, the staff is kind and on top of things. This place is fantastic! I will gladly support Sweet Basil during this hectic time in the world.

Diner Review β„–154

Green curry was basically just yellow curry with lots of green bell peppers & a few eggplant chunks. No basil or other veggies. I have had green curry at many different restaurants & this was not like any green curry I have ever had. Tom Yum soup smelled like wet dog, but I've never had Tom Yum soup before so I have nothing to compare it to :/
I really wanted to like this place because of their gluten free options, but will not be eating here again. :(

It cost $78 for three entrees, the food took 1.5 hours to arrive, and they forgot the rice for all three entrees. When I called the restaurant, the manager said there was nothing she could do about it. What a missed opportunity, lady! And the food that did come wasn't anything to write home about. Avoid!

Diner Review β„–161

If you have an allergy to food DO NOT EAT HERE! I would have given more stars as other items ordered were good but I ordered a dish and asked for no green peppers. Well they put a whole bunch of peppers!!
As anyone who hates green peppers knows you cannot pick them out. I asked to remake and please do not just pick out the peppers. They just picked them out and then adamantly stated it was remade. Four others at our table agreed it tasted of green peppers. What if I had an allergy?!

Diner Review β„–162

The food was just ok. Peanut sauce lacks much peanut flavor and was very thin. I personally prefer a thicker sauce. Spring rolls were fairly bland and the vegetables were too crisp for my liking. Service was phenomenal even with it just being me eating alone.

Diner Review β„–163

Delicious food! The Cashew chicken and the spring rolls are to die for.

I got the Tom Kha soup as a side and the Pad Thai with pork and Jasmine tea. I thoroughly enjoyed the tea, the soup was delicious, but the Pad Thai was not anything special. It was a satisfying meal and I'll be back, but the noodles were a bit overdone or something so the texture wasn't what I look forward to when I order the dish, and it didn't have all the fresh veggie sides I've gotten at other places that add to the experience so nicely, though they did include a lime wedge, crushed peanuts, and a few sprouts.

Not good. Orders pad kee now with beef level 4. It wasn’t hot, there was less than 4 oz of beef in the whole dish, on top of that it was just steamed noodles and veggies. None of the pad kee mow flavor that makes the dish the dish was in there. I could stay home and eat oily steamed food. Do not spend your money here unless you thrive on disappointment

The service was good but the food was very bad. My food was not flavorful at all and had too much oil. Even my wife’s red curry tasted like some chemical and was very watery. It didn’t even taste like any other Thai food we have had so far. They probably prepared some frozen food items or they have a bad cook in the kitchen

The food here is really hit or miss. Its either fabulous or inedible. I wish they consistently made the dishes the same and they were always fabulous!

Waitress was very nice, and our appetizer was decent, but the main meal tasted like over cooked refrigerated boiled chicken in noodles and sauce cooked in toilet water. It was horrid. I told the waitress I wasn’t going to eat anymore, and that something was wrong with it (I was hoping at least. Old boiled chicken and fishy tap water sauce is not what I expect from Thai restaurants) and she asked if I wanted anything else. I had literally taken two bites, but had lost my appetite at that point. Maybe it was an off night, but that was a sad experience considering I was having a date night with my wife and it was her choice. Oh well.

The crab rangoon tasted old frozen and no flavor at all. The chicken was hard and overcooked. We asked for level 4 and 5 horness... and none of it was hat and everything tasted the same. The salad rolls were really good and fresh. The spring rolls were very good as well....thus the 2 stars. The peanut sauce was lumpy and had zero flavor. The cooks definitely lost their passion here...

This restaurant has fantastic food and great service. I came here with a friend and it is now our favorite restaurant of all time. The Chicken Pad Thai, duck and desserts were all top-notch quality. We were very impressed!

Beef Broccoli didn't taste very good......t was very gamey and had a Fish taste to it. The Yellow Curry was really good though. Also the Pad Thai had an interesting smell and wasn't great either. I think I could go here again for Curry, but that is about it. I wish it were better as it was our first time coming here and it wasn't cheap.
