Basil ‘n Lime

Love this place.
Great service!
Delicious, hot food served quickly.
Family friendly and reasonably priced. We’ll be back for sure!

Some of the entrees here are a hit and miss. The only reason why I would go here are for the portions which is perfect for a family style dinner. Other than that, I probably would skip this place altogether. Here’s why…
I ordered tom kha kai here for the first time. My server asked me how spicy I wanted the soup to be so I said in the middle which I’m assuming would be a five or a six. I think they seriously just ask you this question just for the f**k of it because when I got the soup, there was nothing spicy about it. For the record, I can’t take spicy food very well, so even the smallest bit hint of spice would probably get me already. But not this one. You can obviously see that they have chili in the soup, but you can tell that they cook it from their refrigerator, and just tossed them in the served hotpot hoping that somehow it’s make my soup spicy. However, it didn’t do as intended as my tom kha kai was sweet. YEAH! How weird. I really was hoping for that sour spicy kick to it, but never in a million years would I think that I would eat a sweet tom kha kai. The only part that I thought was great about this dish was that it was served in a hot pot with flames coming out in the middle to keep the soup warm.
Then I got pineapple fried rice which I want to say a four out of five. This one of the dishes that I enjoyed there as it had the right combination of spices, and kick to it. I also was digging the tomatoes incorporated to this dish. Overall, this made the sweet soup barable to eat.
For some reason, I wanted to order yellow curry, which I hardly touched because there was absolutely no flavor to this. It was such a disappointment to think that there was anything hopeful about this particular dish. The potatoes were under cooked to the point that I didn’t even want to bother eating it because it seemed more like a chore to do. The base was bland. It had the right consistency for a yellow curry, but no flavor to it. You can taste the actually curry powder in it but curry in itself doesn’t have a flavor. There’s more ingredients added to this delicious plate that this restraurant completely lacked.
As far as coming back here again, I would still say yes, as I’m stubborn like that. But I would only go here if a huge family of mine wants to dine in for something large and affordable, other than that… Order at your own caution.

We wanted to like this place, even after reading some of the negative reviews. After all, I’ve eaten at many street stalls in 3^rd world countries!
We actually gave this place several tries and ordered different dishes. More than half were barely edible so yeah, pretty bad.
For instance, ordered a tomato based soup, and instead of tomatoes it was clearly ketchup based! I also ordered a classic Thai dish off their lunch menu, «ground chicken with basil». The portion was fair (although they only gave 1 small scoop of rice), but it was quite oily and the color was off, more of a turmeric color. Anyhow, I did get sick from it (stomach cramps, etc.).
Bottom line, I won’t be eating there again, and can’t recommend this place. Plenty of decent and better Thai restaurants in the area.
