Thai Basil: Discover Authentic Thai Cuisine in Tempe

Nice place to get some good spicy food. I had the glass noodles which was great. Fried calamari which was also great. The atmosphere is intimate would be a nice spot for a small date night. Located right across ASU so be ready for some traffic

This is my favorite restaurant in the valley. We'd come here all the time when we lived in the east valley. Now that we live in the west valley, we make the trip here when we're on the east side of town. Love the crispy spring rolls, crystal noodle stir fry, and red curry. The service is excellent.

Superb authentic Thai food in the heart of Tempe. The restaurant has a very Thai vibe and is always packed to the brim with customers. Definitely a sign of success. I ordered the Shrimp Spring Rolls and Spicy noodles with beef. Definitely a hit on both aspects. I selected the Hot option for my spice option, but could have easily handled their Thai Hot option, which is their hottest option. (Keep in mind that I can handle extra spicy foods and there were some customers there who were struggling with the mild option). So please choose wisely.

Stopped in because I was at ASU and they had a good star rating. The hive-mind was correct, the food here is amazing! My wife had the Thai Basil saute (when in Rome..) and I had a green curry. Spice level of medium and spicy were both dialed in perfectly, and I forgot to take a picture of the plates because it was so appetizing we immediately started eating.

Authentic Thai food, good prices, quick service, clean restaurant. Very friendly staff. It has everything I want for good Thai food service. I highly recommend Thai Basil.

Thai Basil, how I have missed you! I was a little hesitant after all these years if the food was still amazing and it is still amazing!! I was having some trouble ordering online, so I decided to go there and order in person. I was warmly greeted and given a menu. I decided on the pad broccoli. It is simple, just broccoli, onions, and carrots in oyster sauce; but it had tons of flavor. I absolutely loved the oyster sauce, I wish that there was a little bit more of it, but it was good the way it was as well. The medium spice was just enough and popped well with the vegetables. Again there could have been more broccoli, but still that did not stop the pad broccoli from being an amazing dish!! I will be back for this and for the Thai Basil!

I am very surprised I have not reviewed this place yet. I used to come here constantly while I was a student, and I made a very special point to come here while visiting town again; it's that good. I have had many other Thai foods since leaving Arizona, but I can truthfully say that I think about the food here much more often than any other place. I almost always get my favorite dish, the Musaman Curry. Hard to go wrong with this one if you like potatoes and peanuts. I confirmed a long time ago that the curry base is vegan, uses coconut milk, and does not contain fish sauce. As expected, it was just as delicious as I remember. I also got a Thai tea, which they can easily make with coconut milk! The service was excellent, and my friends were very happy with their meals, too. I'm happy I can keep coming here when I'm in town; it brings me back to a different period in my life.

Convenient location next to university dorms and many food places. You see a ton of students with parents. Service was as good as food. Great ambience to chill out. Food quality is good. Fried rice and spring rolls tasted delicious. Wide variety of curries and appetizers are available. Most of food items tasted excellent.
