A lively young crowd gathers at this basement level Newbury Street restaurant for flavorful pad thai, soups (tom yum and wonton), curries (red, green or yellow), and stir-fried noodle dishes. The friendly staff also serves up fiery dishes:… Read Full Editorial
My Review by kevinb1589952625 via Citysearch on 7/21/2012
Good food and price. The mango curry is delicious, but wouldn't suggest the fish. It's a nice affordable place to go when on Newbury Street.
decent but dirty by csa222 via Citysearch on 12/4/2011
It seems as though the cleaning part of the business is very last on the priority list -- I just hope that isn't the case in the kitchen. They reuse their place mats over and over. The last time I was there, mine stuck to my wrist! And…
Great Food, Reasonably Priced by kris10w99 via Citysearch on 9/12/2011
Tucked away on Newbury Street, Thai Basil is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Boston and they never disappoint! Their crispy pad thai is one of the best around and their tropical noodle dish is great too. I work in Copley and I…

Shady and Very Poor Service by KimmyD via Citysearch on 9/12/2010
Thai Basil has the worst service and mediocre food at best. The food was delivered 1 hr and 15 mins after the order was placed and the food was cold and smelled like it wasn't fresh. Later when I checked my statement, the restaurant…
Everything Tastes Great by Kristin R via Insider Pages on 8/26/2010
Definitely one of my favorite restaurants on Newbury Street. Located in a walk-out basement, as many of the restaurants are, it has a great cozy and classy feeling to it. Everything I've tried is delicious, seriously.
Great for lunch! by Kate B via Insider Pages on 8/26/2010
I work a block away, and I eat lunch here at least once almost every week. They're really quick, so you know you can be in, out and back to work easily within your lunch hour. They can get really crowded around lunch time, but even if…
Thai Basil is okay by Bostontransplant via Citysearch on 7/2/2010
Thai Basil looks like a hole in the wall restaurant when you're passing it (it's basement level), but it's surprisingly decent inside. There are a few Thai restaurants in and around Newbury/Boylston and Thai Basil is about $2 cheaper per…
hidden gem by Alicia E via Insider Pages on 2/25/2010
Cute hidden Thai place on Newbury. I really enjoy their Pad Thai and the quiet atmosphere. A great alternative to Newbury classic.
Delicious Thai Food by Julia1982 via Citysearch on 10/2/2009
I love Thai Food, and Thai Basil met all my expectations. They have delicious Pad Thai, as well as Yellow Curry Chicken. I go there at least 3 times a month. If you like Thai Food, you must try them! Highly recommended!
hate this restaurant very rude waiters by nampeung via Citysearch on 5/19/2009
I will not go back to this restaurant again. The servers are all rude. This place is the worst Thai restaurant I have ever been to in the MA area.
Small place, good food by Jonathan L via Insider Pages on 1/2/2009
My parents and I were visiting Boston. We were in this area for lunch and decided to try Thai Basil (because they had a decent amount of vegetarian options). It was a pretty good choice! My mom and I had the Veggie Pad Thai, and my dad…

HORRIBLE SERVICE by fa6ami86 via Citysearch on 9/11/2008
the waitresses were VERY RUDE the lady got our order wrong and when we tried to point it out she started screaming at us and said they didn't care if we never showed up again.. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE service.. plus when i tried to explain that…
Rude Staff, Dont understand English properly by ashwariya via Citysearch on 3/26/2008
Food is good for the price, but the staff needs to be trained to respect the customers. I ordered seafood noodles, and found pieces of beef in it. I do not eat meat, specially beef. I complained about it to three different people and…
Rodents by boston_bar_connoisseur via Citysearch on 9/10/2007
Multiple reports and rumors of rodents in their kitchen. Would not eat there again after hearing this.
fast service- because they are rushing you out by pollyguts via Citysearch on 7/23/2007
This place has an awesome location, great to stop on newbury st. The food was pretty decent thai, nothing spectacular. Ambience- nothing special. The main plus is that it was very cheap ( at least for lunch) and portions are good. But,…
Solid Thai takeout by segh via Citysearch on 2/1/2007
Having worked in the building above Thai Basil for 5 years, it has become my go-to meal. It's not creative or innovative. It's not fine dining or elegant or atmospheric. But it is consistently good American-Thai food. I have never eaten in…
Terrible Service by bostonbobo via Citysearch on 1/2/2007
The food was okay while the service was terrible. Some of the servers had attitude. Not only they didn't greet their customers, they didn't even put a smile on their face. One waitress was yelling at me, "do you want anything else?" while…
