What Our Customers Say

“ You can count on The Basil being an excellent meal! I always tell people this is the best Thai Food anywhere and I try it every where. So lucky to have it here in my home town of Carson City. You can not go wrong ordering any item! But certainly try the mango roll. If there are any left. The best mango and sticky rice as well! ”

“ Again, I almost hate reviewing this place as it's such a gem and some of the best Thai cooking on the planet. The reason I "almost hate reviewing it" is because I still want to be able to eat here without crazy competition to get a seat...! I have been to Thailand many times and can make this claim; it's one of the best! You wouldn't think that Carson City, Nevada has such game for Thai cuisine but here it is! The food is always amazing no matter what you order. The place is decorated with all sorts of carvings and paintings from their home country and my only recommendation would be to NOT sit at the front windows during the sunset hours...! You'll be in an oven for the duration...! The servers there such as Ratree, Penny, et Al will all take very good care of you with a smile. Hope you enjoy! My wife won't eat Thai anywhere else...! She's tried but always been disappointed elsewhere! ”

“ What a surprise to find such a slice of Thailand on the main street! Pleasantly decorated interior. Friendly hostess. Also, the cook brought our food out wearing gloves. I like that. I came in for lunch, so that means you get a flavorful cabbage-tofu soup in addition to your meal plate. I was never asked what heat level for my curry but it was warming and satisfying for me but was on the edge for Mr. Bland. He ordered a tofu ginger plate and he really enjoyed it. He even found a ginger piece that was stuck in his teeth an hour later and he enjoyed that, too. ”

Joyce T.

“ As always the creamy cocoanut soup is like a rich comfort food with just little bite! Almost too much for this ultra wimp. Tried the fried rice with just hint of fresh sweetness, perfectly steamed shrimp an chicken! Always friendly service and beautiful surroundings. NEW menu items centering on soft shell crab! Next time!!! ”
