Thai Basil - Vancouver

Had the red curry with #18. Red Curry with Pumpkin prawns and beef and #12 Tom ka gai soup. So delicious and flavourful. My favourite Thai restaurant in Van. If you like spicy or extra spicy, ask in specifications , and you will not be disappointed

Lovely service and decor. Food was good but maybe lacking a bit of oomf, I think the seasonings were a bit on the timid side.

A small Thai restaurant on Commercial Drive that has a reasonably priced lunch menu. When we first sat down, the server gave us a menu and told us we had to order at the counter. So we ordered and paid at the counter and got our own water. Service was bringing us the plate of food and cleaning up afterwards. Lunch special is 11:30am-3:30pm. I got the pad thai with salad for $11.50 and my partner got the curry with salad and rice for $11.95. Both were good in flavour, but wasn’t the most amazing Thai food we ever ate. Prices were reasonable for the portion so it’s definitely worth a visit during lunch. It got slightly busy during lunch period but there were enough tables for everyone. Overall, good experience. Booth and table seating available. Only street parking. Cheapest lunch special is $6.95 which is super affordable in this economy.

Likes: I've been craving Pad Gra Prow and they did a good job hitting the spot. It's very tasty. The padthai we ordered is also delicious.The place, however, is not air conditioned so it can be hot. Thai food can be spicy and makes you hot, so it made me all sweaty after the meal. Will likely order takeout next time.They also ask you to pay upfront, which is fine. But they also ask you for tip, too. Without really knowing the level of service they'd provide, it's kinda weird.

Went here today and ordered the Thai noodle shrimp salad. I NEVER send food back but it was really bad so I asked for something else and offered to pay the difference (they make you pay in advance before eating). The staff member there tried to charge me the full amount for a new order and refused to refund me for the meal I didn’t eat. I ended up walking out and getting food somewhere else. Awful customer service and will not be returning.
