Homey eatery offering curries, noodles & spring rolls, plus weekday lunch specials.
After a long shopping trip, I was starving. My SO suggested Sweet Basil since it was nearby. We were greeted right away as soon as we entered. The servers were nice and helpful. I was craving curry, so the waiter suggested the yellow curry. The little minions ordered the kid’s chicken fried rice. My SO ordered the drunken noodles. The service was fast, and the food came out piping hot! The only problem was…..everything was so sweet. Ridiculously sweet. I thought I was mistaken, but my SO tried the boys’ fried rice and my curry, and he agreed it was way too sweet. We will not be coming back.

Was recommended to try this place out so I did I ordered pepper steak and shrimp Fried rice. The shrimp fried rice was really good but the pepper steak was really disappointing as it had very small portion of steak in it mostly vegetables. I would definitely go back for the shrimp fried rice, but not the pepper steak.
Craving some Thai food and hadn’t had a pad Thai in a long time.
First off, came in for lunch and on their menu so many dishes were only $9.99, which was great since you usually see it to be around $13 or so.
I ordered the pad Thai and thought I would be given a small lunch portion given it’s only $10, and well, it was a lot of food! I finished it all and the pad Thai is exactly how I like it. The flavor was there and it was a lot of noodles, I mean, a lot!! So worth it.
Definitely come try this place if you’re trying to decide what to eat, craving Thai food and/or are in the area!!
Everything I ate here was sooo delicious! We had the Mus-sa-man curry which i’m now obsessed with. We also got the house sampler and the tom kha noodle soup which we really enjoyed! Servers were nice and helpful as well! Next time we’re in DFW we will for sure be going back <3
My mom and I went to this place for the first time and it was wonderful! I wish I took a picture of our food. Everything was delicious and our waitress was awesome. Everyone there was very kind and attentive. I’m glad I found this place because we will for sure be coming back. Authentic Thai food is the best!
Went for lunch on a Saturday in February. The service was really good, the team was efficient and they worked together in taking our order and picking up our dirty plates from the table. The restroom was clean as well. It’s a nice little spot where the food was good, professionalism high, and the cleanliness was good.
Saw a few families with small children too, they all seemed to have a good time as well. Glad the restaurant services could provide for kiddos too.
The pineapple curry was had great flavor and was not watered down like many other Thai spots I’ve been too. Delicious!
I came here based on a recommendation from my coworker. The curry puffs are so good!
I tried the Tom Kha soup cup with shrimp- mild, I personally really liked it.
The ladies are so nice & prompt - very good experience

Food is excellent (5/5) provided you have time to dine in. Curb side Pick service is the worst of the worst, no one answered my phone call.. I saw people going inside to pick it up. So I also went inside , in my pyjamas, to pick it up. There is hardly any sincere apology. Pick up time is minimum 15 minutes later than what they mention to you online. So count all that if you want to pick up. This restaurant requires some Americans (White OR African Americans) to understand the customer service. All their workers appear from Asia and they don't understand the customer service that pick up is a very important service.
So I feel bad writing this review because it’s made me realize that, of the many times I’ve eaten here and enjoyed it, I’ve never taken the time to write a good review—but here we go.
Unfortunately, my most recent experience was a huge letdown. The food was honestly pretty terrible. The dishes were bland, poorly seasoned, and cold—definitely not the quality I had come to expect. My meal was honestly unappetizing, and I couldn’t even finish it. I hate to say it, but I won’t be coming back anytime soon unless there’s a major change in the kitchen. It’s disappointing, because this place used to be a favorite. Hopefully, they can turn it around.
Love Sweet Basil. The staff is warm and inviting. Food choices are vast and everything we’ve ordered has been amazing. Best peanut sauce ever.
Enjoyable Pad see ew. Personable waiter.
I really enjoyed myself coming to this restaurant some months ago during the summer time and the month of July, it was my first experience with Thai cuisine with my niece and nephew we went here for lunch vanille was out of this world because of its aroma and taste is hard to forget
Thai Green Duck Curry, or Kaeng Kiew Wan Ped, is a rich, aromatic, and slightly spicy dish that's perfect for those who love the bold flavors of Thai cuisine
The owners are very nice and the food is absolutely incredible. Fantastic atmosphere for the entire family.
This used to be my mom and I's favorite Thai spot in the DFW metroplex! However recently, I don't know if they changed owners or changed jobs but the food hasn't been as good in the past few months as it used to be. For example, recently my mom and I got takeout and when we tasted we realized none of our noodles had sauce on them or flavor. I had to add oyster sauce and garlic powder once I got home. The food just didn't taste the same as it used to (and we get the same time every time so I know how it used to taste). I don't know if this instance was an oversight where they forgot to add sauce or seasoning, but we noticed the food has changed. We will still probably eat here, but I wish the food tasted the same as before.
Solid Thai food. Good service.
Pad Thai with shrimp was great. My son ordered drunken noodles and he loved it. We will definitely be going back.
This is our favorite Thai restaurant.
Thai food it is what it is. It’s great. We love it. Good atmosphere good service. Good quality food. I love going to this place.
A very generous portion of delicious House Special Pad Thai with Shrimp and Chicken and an order of their delicious Crab Rangoon is what I ordered and exactly what I got. I will definitely eat here regularly now that I have discovered this place. It’s excellent and a must for the Thai food lover!

Kal was an amazing server!!! We ordered a lot of food and he was super nice and helpful!!! The food was amazing as always!
Excellent KAL ily 🤟🏼💜💙🤟🏼
Whether you choose to dine in or take your meal to go, the food is consistently delicious, and the customer service is exceptional.
Tom Kha was great. Fried rice was good too. Will be coming back.
Tom Kha soup with extra shrimp is a heavenly trip. The broth is invigorating satisfying delightful :-)
The food, service, and menu options are great.
Very good! Very reliable! Love it.
This is the best Thai food around. The service is amazing, and the tea is the best!

Excellent with out a doubt. Red curry tops in my book. Also egg rolls delicious!. Friendly, great service, great food, reasonable pricing. You get plenty of food.
This restaurant is always a great option. Family owned, sweet staff. They are very accommodating and provide delicious meals each visit
This place is amazing!!! It’ was must be the best kept secret… I would never have eaten there supposing it would be just another semi fast food place. But I came with a group of friends and WOW!!! Also great service and nice atmosphere. Kal was our server and was very good! I highly recommend!
I highly recommend this restaurant Kal was our server . The most delicious Thai food I’ve had had . Magnificent food and great service and atmosphere !! The very best of the BEST
A MICHELIN 5 !!!!!!!!
I generally don't like leaving negative reviews for places but think it's important to share my experience here in case anyone with a severe allergy decides to visit..
I want to start by saying I only eat halal meat, which is why I could not eat their chicken..
I ordered a shrimp pad Thai, they gave me a chicken pad Thai so I sent it back and told them again that I ordered a shrimp pad Thai.. they apologised and 15 minutes later bring me a shrimp pad Thai.. as I was eating it I found pieces of chicken in it. It seems all they did was remove the chicken and replace it with shrimp. I flagged our server and he immediately took it into the back, I told him I did not want it re-made and he was very apologetic. He removed it from our bill and offered me a free beverage which I declined. Though the server was nice, something like this should not happen in a respectable restaurant. This was very disappointing so say the least, will not be returning.
Everything I ate here was sooo delicious! We had the Mus-sa-man curry which i’m now obsessed with. We also got the house sampler and the tom kha noodle soup which we really enjoyed! Servers were nice and helpful as well! Next time we’re in DFW we will for sure be going back <3
Love their lunch menu. Many great options to try
Best Thai around. It's all great. Love the recently added won ton soup.
This is a cool little Thai place with excellent food, smiling servers and decent prices. I order from here 2 to 3 times a week!
Saturday lunch. Friendly efficient service. My red curry was chock full of fresh veggies with the perfect snap. Generous tofu. I got the mild but would ask for level 2 next time. Husband had a veg and noodle dish with beef, mild and it was very flavorful.
My noodles were stuck together...not as much flavor. I've had pad Thai at many places.
This is our go-to place for Thai takeout. Been going here for years. Always a pleasure.
Hands down one of the best spots! The food is so delicious and the staff is always friendly and so kind.
I'm a regular at this sweet Basil because their curry is simply the best, with awesome spice levels. The staff always greet me warmly and provide excellent service. It's become a weekly ritual for me, and I can't get enough of it!
Very nice people and great food. Ask them about their coconut ice cream!
This place is a must-visit for orange chicken lovers! The flavor is unbeatable, with a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff are friendly. Don't miss out on this culinary gem!
This was the best Thai food I have ever eaten! Very nice environment, attentive staff, and delicious food! Can't go wrong with this place! 😃🏆
Fresh ingredients and great service.
Fresh rolls were pure and lacked nothing. Aroma of lemongrass and galangal are strong.
Very pleased with our order. Everything was fresh and delivered hot. We will definitely order from here again
Amazing food and service!
I love their Pad Thai but their customer service sucks. Down right rude. Y'all are in Texas. Be friendly! 🇨🇱✌️🫶
Service and the food is always wonderful. We always enjoy it!
Good food and excellent service.
Definitely a favorite! We always start with their delicious steamed dumplings, followed by red curry chicken.
Love their food
Love this place. The food is always fresh and the dine in experience is amazing. Great customer service with this family owned restaurant. Next time we will have dinner with the BYOB is very accommodating for couples in an intimate setting.
the food was really good, service was ok. could be a place to go as a regular.
Good Thai curry. Will have to return.
The option are amazing and tastes great!
The food was awesome! And our service was as well. Absolutely recommend if your in the area. We will be back guaranteed!!
Amazing food and the service was wonderful. I will return here in the future. Alot of food for a great price
This is my favorite Thai food restaurant. It’s always fresh, hot and delicious. The crab Rangoon, orange chicken, sweet basil fried rice and tom kha Gai are all sooooo good. They have good lunch specials and are always busy at lunch time.
Food is always tasty and is of good value. I definitely recommend the Tom Kha soup and Pad Thai.
Hidden gem. I love Thai food and these people know their stuff. It's set off the beaten path but it so worth it. I have never had anything I didn't like here and their tea is the best. Go here if you want amazing Thai food with great service! Love!
I always get take-out. This place is delicious! I've never had a bad experience.
⬆️⬆️ You see that folks.. ?
Exactly I was left speechless ❤️
Wonderful food and staff. Great vegetarian options
Found this place with my friend Katie! It was a cute atmosphere! We were greeted and helped right away! Good and service was great! Can’t wait to go back!
1st time coming to this place the food was awsome and great customer services make yo feel welcome definitely would recomended this place.
My new go-to place for Tom Yum. Delicious food, very attentive staff.
Every time I go, I try a different dish and they haven't disappointed me yet! It a relaxed environment, and service is always efficient. They also adjust the meals to your level of spice. You can never go wrong here!
The best food and service!! Those ladies worked their butts off with a full house.
Everything perfection! Super!💖🤗 My advice .. Come hungry and try lots😃
Only thing i found an accidental piece of chicken in the soup, but i hadnt told them i have an allergy, so i will do that next time😇
The best Thai food!!
amazing service, amazing staff, beautiful and clean environment
Update: There has NEVER been a time that my food wasn't fresh, my service wasn't good or it was dirty! Best Thai in the area! A must go!
Wonderful food! Omg delicious!
Food is the same great as the first time I ate here... Service too... Love this place!
Dine-in or takeout, the food is always delicious and the service excellent.
I love the Pad Thai, red curry chicken, and Tom Kha soup.
This is a small business that hosts big flavor. The Thai egg rolls and chicken satay are amazing. The curry, fried rice exceed expectations. The desserts leave you wanting more.
Great spot. And one of the few Thai places that do it Thai Hot when I say more than level 5 hot, I want Thai hot
I visited Thailand several times over the decades and eaten a lot of genuine Thai food there also Thai food here in the US.
Sweet Basil is superb! Wonderful flavors, currys, and spices that put me right back in Thailand! Love the flexibility and willingness to accommodate my specific tastes and combinations. That is the sign of a very good chef. They can cook to order.
The wait staff is friendly and very courteous. They are also eager to please and very knowledgeable of the menu and foods. I loved the ambience of Sweet Basil. You step off the street in Hurst to enter a restaurant in Bangkok. Enjoy!
(Next time I'm there, I'll take photos.)
7/8/19 had the coconut ice cream. Fantastic! Good sized serving. We shared it.
Had the combination Fried Rice. Lots of flavors. Btw. They have soy sauce at the table. Don't use it. It is incompatible with Thai herbs and spices.
Great Pad Thai, clean restrooms, friendly service! We”ll come back!
I've passed bye this unassuming store front restaurant dozens of times and, boy, I've been missing out. My belly wanted soup and I went there to order my favorite... the Tom Kha with noodles. I've had this dish all over the country, and this one was exceptionally. Creamy, sour, tangy, sweet, and at level 3 heat, the perfect amount of spicy. Plenty of mushrooms to soak up that fabulous broth brought the perfect umami flavor. I got it with chicken, and I'll for sure try the shrimp next time. The curries looked fantastic also. The service was spectacular. Very kind, inviting smiles, and super helpful. Despite being very busy my food came out quickly. Hot and fresh! My only small complaint is that in the Texas summer heat, inside the restaurant was a little balmy and stuffy, but certainly not so bad it'll keep me away. I'm very thankful to have found this spot.
Dannggg that tom kha is no joke #yummmm
We have ordered from here many times and it's been great. It definitely was a go to during COVID. We actually dined in a few nights ago and the service wasn't good. We got a menu and drinks but then got forgotten. 15 minutes later someone finally came over and took our order. We got the food pretty quick but it wasn't great either. The sauce was really good but the meat itself was very bland. This trip won't stop me from going back since it's been so good in the past but maybe we will just do to go orders going forward.
This has been our favorite weekly dinner for so many years now! The food is amazing and I usually end up taking a to go box home because of the portion sizes. I know raving about iced tea seems crazy, but it really is the best! The staff there is so great and even though they may not know our names, they know our faces and are so great to visit with! Best Thai around!
Went here on 7/9/23 for our first visit. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and from the time we walked in you could feel the love. The food was absolutely delicious! My wife got the sweet and sour with chicken and I got the fried garlic with pork. Will definitely be back. Top notch staff and wonderful atmosphere!
It's out of my way, but I make time to come here for meals. Great food!!
Our go to Thai restaurant!
Comid muy especial y sabor al punto
Delicious authentic fresh food! Service very friendly! We will comeback again .
This and Thai Thip are the two best around and lucky to have them close. Sweet Thai Basil has a better atmosphere and the restrooms are extremely clean 👏
We visited for the first time today, Mothers Day. The food was so good, so fresh, and sooo delicious! The staff were all super friendly and worked so hard to make sure everyone was well served! We will be back!!!
Delicious food!! Eggrols and sticky rice are classic favs with my little ones.
Their take out is always piping hot whenever I show up to pick it up. Their curry’s hit the spot for some Thai comfort food and is enough for two meals typically. Also try the Drunken Noodles/ Pad Kee Mao!
Excellent Food and Friendly Staff
So delicious and very friendly!
Been here 2 times because showed you were open. Drive all the way and see that you are closed on Tuesday. Please update your operating hours
Today was my 2nd visit. I've ordered to go both times, food is fresh and delicious, and staff is nice. This is my new favorite place to eat
Curry was good. Be warned tho, "coconut ice cream" is actually DAIRY ice cream with coconut in it. As a vegan who is lactose intollerant, i asked before i ordered and they said it was okay but after i started eating it, something seemed off. I asked them to double check and sure enough, dairy. They were nice enough to take it off the bill, but now i still get to deal with lactose hell. Thanks.
Pumpkin curry with tofu. Enough said. Absolutely delicious and amazing service. I will be back!
A lovely local Thai spot. Cozy, clean and quaint inside with cultural decor. The ladies who run the restaurant are wonderful. Service is fast and friendly. One of my favorite places to pick up food or dine in at! I highly recommend their veggie egg rolls and tom kha with either chicken or pork. My favorite entree I also recommend is their Thai BBQ pork- absolutely delectable. And you cannot go wrong with their coconut lemonade and custard sticky rice for dessert!
I wanted to support local so I tried it. Looked nice inside. Ordered Pad Thai, and the noodles were so over cooked I found it inedible. Had to throw it away.
UPDATED REVIEW 2/19/23: Prices have gone up quite a bit, almost too much to make it worth the trip over here.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: Amazing as always. Fair price and fast service.
Went for lunch on a Saturday in February. The service was really good, the team was efficient and they worked together in taking our order and picking up our dirty plates from the table. The restroom was clean as well. It’s a nice little spot where the food was good, professionalism high, and the cleanliness was good.
Saw a few families with small children too, they all seemed to have a good time as well. Glad the restaurant services could provide for kiddos too.
***no vegan/vegetarian options***
Misleading information is being told at this place. So, I actually loved this place and had been eating there for years when I found out there are no vegetarian options. When I initially asked about the curries and the Tom yum soup, I was told it was vegetarian broth and no meat was used. So I sent a fellow vegan and he was told nothing in the menu is vegetarian Bc they use chicken broth in everything, including the curries and stir fry’s plus they use fish paste in the curries anyway. I am only mad bc I was told by several employees it was vegetarian. I asked if it just changed and they said no, it’s always been like that. So I ask why I was told it was vegan, and they said they didn’t know chicken broth wasn’t vegetarian and or fish paste. So now I don’t trust anything from this place, and rightly so Bc I’m vegan.I don’t think it was on purpose of course, and they are mostly nice people there. But imagine all the animal biproducts i have unknowingly consumed. It’s just so gross and I wanted to review it so other vegan can know what their getting into. I honestly don’t know what’s going on there Bc my stomach normally gets upset if I eat something with any biproducts in it. I will say the stir fry’s and Currie never hurt my stomach but the soup definitely did the last time I consumed it. So it’s just a toss up about who really know what they cook with, but I’m not going back.
This was my first visit and I will say it won't be my last! The dish I had was so good, super flavorful. The staff was great, very welcoming and attentive. The service was fast. I'm excited about trying other items from the menu. 😋
Great service and great food. I loved the pot they served soup in!
Great food at a low price, far better than nearly everything around it. I'm here at least once a week.
The food while in restaurant is 5 stars but when you get takeout, for some reason there is a SERIOUS lack of flavor. I hope this gets fixed because I've been dining here for at least 6 years and the takeout has always been barely par or sub par.
Been going here for 6 years, food is always good super consistent, I always get the pad Thai, pad see ew, and the papaya salad with sticky rice. My favorite Thai place
Always delicious! Great Pad Thai, we also love the Thai Egg Rolls.
The lad na and Curry duck were fantastic. It was juat the flavor i was looking for. Great friendly staff.
The fish Patty appetizer was amazing as well
The best Thom kha I've ever had! Food was delicious, service was great!
Fantastic
Has been a favorite for years. Recently learned it's woman owned so even more to rejoice. Very kind service and consistent good food and decent price.
Food and service is always great, visit there quite often.
I love the food here but had to wait an hour to receive it towards the end of lunch time. I waited a few minutes to get seated, which happens, but after being seated I was not attended for 30 minutes and waited another 20 minutes to receive my food. Would not recommend for busy days even though it is delicious. I had to move from dine in to take out for the waitress to ask about the cooks about my fried rice plate.
Red curry was phenomenal!
One of my favorites
My favorite Thai place. They have a Curry puff appetizer that's unique and delicious.
I am obsessed with this place, the food is amazing and always so friendly!
Great food, HUGE portions and an incredibly friendly staff I met up with a friend I haven’t seen that come here at least once a week, and now I see why! I will DEFINITELY be coming back!!!
Usually pretty good. Today I ordered pickup. The Thai beef salad had no lettuce. I cld them & they said when I come back they would give me half salad? I tried to elaborate & girl kept saying same. We have been going here at least 3-4 years but will seriously consider stopping & eating at another place in Bedford. SMH
Excellent service and delicious food. What more could you ask for? Order the Pad See Ew. You won't be disappointed.
This place is the bomb good Asian food alot t9 choose from and staff are nice
This is truly a hidden gem. I'm used to home cooked Thai, so I was not expecting much, but let's just say this was as home cooked as I have ever experienced. The papaya salad was amazing and absolutely how it should be. The flavor of the green curry was perfect as well. Let's just say it was so tasty that I didn't waste the time to take pictures. The staff and service was impeccable as well. Will definitely make this a stop next time I'm in town.
First time here. The food was great! The service was great! Will definitely be returning!!! 😁😁😁
Food was good, customer service was fair. We had a new server and when I asked if there was a veteran's discount she said she didn't know and I asked her to find out, she never asked... she went straight to cash register. This was disappointing 😞 Then she overcharged me. I had to get that fixed. The receipt did not itemize so unless you truly watch you won't know.
So good. seafood hotpot is the best.
I’ve been coming here for years whenever I’m in town and the taste of the food has been consistently great!
