AVOID EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO GO HUNGRY ! NOT KIDDING.

Worst service ever. Multiple orders were mistakenly taken and staff had other people s order given to us amid this COVID situation. Other diners would not like their food to come to our table too!

Staff were extremely rude and started to throw...

The food was good and affordably priced but took a while before it was served.
Had the lemongrass tea which tasted more like lemonade than lemongrass. Hardly any lemongrass flavour/scent and the drink was served with a thin, dried out strand of lemongrass leaf.

Order kang kung, honey fried chicken, clear paste tong yum soup, and seafood phad siew thai (I think). Food quality was good, portions were big. Phad thai has wok hei with generous amount of seafood. Quite worth the price considering the portion and environment. Wide variety of choices and some new ...

Each time I step into Basil, I leave reminding myself not to return. Service has no standard, and tonight, it felt like I walked into the home of a reluctant housewife behind the counter. Poor service attitude and poor language. I was told to sit at a table for four persons and it was close to anot...

Service from the staff here is nice and pleasant, and they try their best even though the outlet was crowded yesterday on a Friday night. Background music here is nice and relaxing. The prices here are really reasonable and portions are bigger compared to other similar Thai restaurants out there.

Followed some of the review recommendations and ordered green beef curry and basil minced chicken.

Meat portions were too small to justify the high prices. The curry had a few scraps of meat. Taste was average, similar to what you could get at food court thai stalls.

Taste being average was fi...

Nice and clean Thai restaurant with great food and atmosphere. There is a great collection of vegetarian/vegan menu to choose from.

The tofu pad thai and tom yum mushroom soup are really delicious. Will definitely come back or order delivery

Food is good, I really like their new menu. Staff on the other is horrible, completely indifferent to their customers. They just throw food on the table without saying a thing and can't manage to serve all ordered items. Stay away!

Wow some of the worst service I ve ever had. Happened to stop in as I was in the area looking for lunch but I really wish I would have checked the reviews first! Food is mediocre & expensive, but the rude and chilly service left an impression.

Don't know what happened since the rebrand but the operation here is really badly run. The food was okay. Until the end of our dinner I still haven't gotten my replacement drink for what they made wrongly (I asked for no sugar and the waiter repeatedly said it was no sugar but it's obviously sugared...

Dont know why this place doesn't have more stars. I thought the food was very good. Easy ordering on the iPad, fast service, and great tasting food. I had the honey chicken and it was tasty! The red curry was also good. Definitely worth a meal here.

Tall male Indian staff walked off in the midst of our conversation, had to ask another staff to take our order. Rude and unpleasant. Had the new Thai seafood hot pot. Tomyam soup was too sweet with little to no spiciness. $39.90 before tax for about 5 pieces of prawns (not fresh), mussels, fish fil...

We were waiting close to half an hour for our turn to be called in for a seat. From the transparent glass window, we did notice that they were a few seats empty. But we awaited to be called in because no staff called us in to check safe entry and all before entering as currently that is the protocol...

Portions are generous but for those with big appetite, you can consider ordering an additional portion. Most people I dined with here commented that the serving is sufficient, so I am not sure why some people think otherwise. Many of my friends who came with ...

The Thai food here is very nice . Some dishes are made with basil which is their speciality. Best time to come is before 12:30pm or before 6:30 pm as it would be less crowded. They have recently launched a new menu starting from Oct 2020.

I have heard many compliments from people about Basil....

Food was great but not the service. Service crew were slow and only 1 Chinese lady was working. She had to ensure check in and temperature taking, placing order, serving food, take care of take outs, payment and delivery.

Food is surprising good - we had the prawn tom yum soup, tofu pad thai and chendol. Tom yum was full flavoured, prawns were fresh. Service was slow though. We walked in on a Wednesday evening and nobody attended to us. We found our own table and ordered the food via the tablet.

Honestly found this Thai food place quite solid. The offerings and the food quality is great. Service is not bad, although it can definitely be improved to be more meticulously done. One thing though, is the amount of oil used that's overflowing, but that's Thai food for you. I enjoyed my chilli and...

Very nice Thai food, should try it if you are at the Holland village area. Some dishes uses the basil leaf hence the restaurant is called Basil. This makes Basil different from other Thai restaurants.

Must try dishes at Basil include Green Curry, Basil Chicken Wings, Prawn Omelette and Basil Ch...

The place is nice and clean, staff is friendly. The food, how ever, is not at all Thai Food. It doesn't have the flavour or taste of Thai food. It tastes just like Chinese food for me.
