Basil Thai Bistro

When it comes to Thai food in San Diego, I don't go anywhere else but here!! Consistent & authentic, ALWAYS sooo yummy!

My fav dishes are the Pad Thai, the Pad Woon Sen & the Red Curry with a side of peanut sauce! I also love that they have Thai Iced Green Tea & Thai Coffee!

The service is very fast, but when they are busy they are sooo busy so please be mindful of that.

First time at this sweet and friendly Thai place and returned a week later.

Ample parking
Clean
Quality of food is delicious and fresh.

Price is reasonable and so are the portions.

Ordered the choo Cher fish which was moist and tender, the sauce was sublime.

Other dish was eggplant with vegetables and the sauce was delish.

Salmon massaman curry which is a specialty dish was disappointing. Why? The salmon was over cooked so it was hard and rubbery and it tasted freeze dried. Also, the sauce which was flavorful was as watered down.

Also, had the tiger steak which was ok.

The fried rice with shrimp was delicious.

I would focus on the regular Thai dishes and be weary of the speciality dishes. I guess depends on the cook, thou a good restaurant is consistent.

Service is friendly and i would return.

Amazing, the best we've found
Highly recommend this place. Nobody does egg rolls like them

Nice, chill, authentic Thai restaurant that doesn't have a gazillion items in their menu but serves some of the most delicious dishes from Thailand. From someone who has lived there for more than a decade, I can say that this place is spot on from the polite and thoughtful attitude of the staff, to the lovely decorations and the soft Thai music playing in the background, to the presentation and taste of their food.

If you're in the East County of San Diego, check this place out! There's plenty of free parking space and you'll definitely enjoy the food and excellent service.

The restaurant appears to have clean floors, furniture, utensils, and restroom. You can also order online and get your food to go.

This a good Thai food to go they have great staff good service food isn't great but it's good I personally like there papaya salad and in a spicy level 3 they make it very good here

Overpriced and for no good reason. I ordered drunken noodles and I wasn't allowed to have it with fish. It was cold when I picked it up. That's my fault, I was in the parking lot on a phone call for a while. But I they did not care that it was definitely cold for that price 22$ it would have been nice if they had the presence of mind.

Food was ok. Ordered the Panang curry duck lunch special. Portion was small, curry not even enough to be soaked up by rice. Soup appetizer had good broth, but veggies did not taste fresh. Good service, but I won't be back.

Another fantastic Thai spot! I try to get similar things at every place we try and this did not disappoint. The Tom kha was phenomenal and I will definitely be back for more of that. The pad see ew with fish was the best ever. So flavorful and delicious. The pad Thai was good, about the same as any other place, but don't miss the Tom kha or pad see ew. Staff was friendly and the place is spacious, not busy.

Delicious authentic Thai curry! Service and ambience is great. Definitely recommended! It's been a long time since I've had a great Curry!

Excellent Thai dishes from Drunken spicy noodles and egg rolls to fried rice. The servers were efficient and helpful.
