Thai Basil

Great little gem! Very cheap AND awesome food, that actually tastes like real Thai food :) I will go back for sure.

FOOD POISONING ALERT!!!
Our stomachs were terribly upset and we couldn’t sleep all night. Just terrible! On the verge of throwing up all evening, eventually did.
Will never step foot in this establishment again for that reason.
Food: tastes like any old greasy second-​hand Asian food establishment. Not healthy, too oily, MSG filled, and probably not fit for human consumption.

Why do you cook using Microwave?
Furthermore, how come when I want to pay with Credit card you decline me and ask for Cash or Debit I also like how you don’t give me a receipt of my order so I have the breakdown of the cost of my meal, REALLY YOU CHARGE ME $ 40 FOR AN ORDER OF SPRING ROLLS, RED CURRY AND PHAD THAI
RIP OFF BASIL MORE LIKE IT!

My advice is, If you order take out check it before you leave. I asked for red curry with pumpkin and got yellow curry with eggplant :(I’m sick, and not feeling well enough to drive back to complain. So disappointed though :(:(:(

I’ve ordered delivery from here a few times. Food is good, portions are large and inexpensive. Service is pretty nice over the phone and delivery is rather quick as well. Overall, it’s a good Thai place that I would definitely recommend.

I would have never gone here if it weren’t for my sister. She suggested this place as opposed to the other restaurants around so I figured, why not? We ordered the massaman curry, the crispy wrapped prawns and the pad kee mao. The food came out quickly, piping hot and super tasty! We had a great Thai-​m at Thai Basil. :‘D

I know my Thai food having traveled to Thailand over 20 times. I was optimistic after reading reviews on Unilocal,but I wouldn’t go hear again unless I was in a big hurry. The spicy soup I had it was clear they did not understand how to blend the flavors at all, it was simply just hot, no subtlety to the tastes underneath. Kaeng Dang chicken Curry was disappointing and laden with sugar and there is no interesting flavor underneath of the curry it self. You can cook this all from a paste bought at Whole Foods — wholly disappointing especially since it was a cold quiet night in the place, so it’s just clear they take no real care with the flavors, they just shove it out the door.

The food was good but the service was horrible. The person working the register was not very friendly. I ordered the pad Thai and prawns. It was really delicious.

My friend I stopped here after a day of swimming at Kits outdoor pool. Originally we were going to go to the Local, but there was a large lineup and they said they were short staffed. Perhaps we will go another time.
Anyways, Thai Basil was two doors down, and we were super hungry so we thought why not. It’s a very small joint, with a large chalkboard menu and a few select tables. My friend ordered pad thai and I ordered red curry with pumpkin and tofu and spring rolls.
My curry came with chicken instead of tofu. I’m not a vegetarian, so this didn’t bother me. Plus I was too hungry at this point to really care and didn’t have the patience to wait. Regardless, it was very flavourful. I enjoyed my spring rolls too. My friend loved her pad thai. All in all, a nice little stop for some Thai food at a reasonable price.

One of the more authentic places from the places I’ve tried in Vancouver. Before this place, I’ve complained about the lack of proper Thai iced tea, but their’s is on point!
Lots of free parking near by too. :)

Good Thai take away. The $ 10 deal is a go-​to for dinner on the beach — you bet a spring roll, salad and choice of entry.
The green curry has a lot of flavour with just enough spice. The green bean entry was also delicious, crunchy and interesting and complex flavours.
The setting isn’t inspiring for a date, but the location near the beach can’t be beat.

Great value for what you pay, I really enjoyed their pad thai and the curries are delicious as well!

Cheap, tasty and yummy food!

Great lunch specials. Good portions, tasty and the location is nice if you want to go for a walk at kits beach afterwards. The staff are friendly as well.

Cheap eats, yummy food, fast and easy. Deliver in Kits and easy for a meal in! Pad Sew with tofu is my go-​to but I know tons of people who order all sorts of different items and are all satisfied. You get what you pay for — lots of food with above average ingredients/​taste for a low price. Two people can be full (guy & girl) for about $ 22. Great for feeding the quick noodle craving!

Beautiful location, especially in the summertime when they roll their full size windows all the way up. Right across the road from Kitsilano beach, and probably the most reasonably priced place on the block. Delicious food and great lunch deals.

It wasn’t terrible, but the paad thai came with 3 small shrimp. At that point, don’t even put shrimp in it — you’re just hinting at what should be there but isn’t. Its like getting socks for Christmas.
The rest of the food was mediocre. It was on par with most other places in the same price range, which is why I probably won’t go here again.

Right across the road from kits beach it was the closest place to get dinner take out for an impromptu picnic. Given it’s location I assumed it would not need to be good to do well, but it was actually pretty good.
It’s not somewhere I would ‘go’, but I’ll be going back.
