Sweet Basil Thai Cuisine

The food was cheap & okay. Thai tea was delicious. I got spicy fried rice with pork, but there were very few pieces of meat in the dish. The dish was on the sweeter side than spicy. It was good but nothing extraordinary. My friend got pad Thai, and she said it was okay. She has been to this restaurant multiple times, and she said other dishes that she tried in the past were better. We also got fried tofu and Thai samosa. Samosa was great. The shell of the samosa was cripy and light. The chutney was sweet. Fried tofu came with a peanut sauce, and it was overall decent.

It’s worth coming out to this residential strip mall for the complex flavors and thoughtful presentation at Sweet Basil. The curries have a deepness from the spice mix. The standard Thai dishes have separate flavor profiles. The dining room is always beautifully decorated, but is usually loud and hot. 18% gratuity is automatically added for parties of 4 or more. Recommend the curries and papaya salad, and unremarkable dishes are the Pad Thai and fried duck.

Great local Thai joint. Curries are on point. The masaman curry is one of my faves that I always get. Pad Thai is delicious and the crab or duck fried rice are always go to dishes for us. The roti is surprisingly good as well. Overall you probably won't find any bad dishes here. Service is good and it's a decent environment. It's worth going out of your way for this place if you're feeling like Thai food. You won't be disappointed.

This is one of the better Thai restaurants I have tried. Every time I eat their dishes, I am really impressed that the meats are always tender all the other Thai restaurants I have tried make their meats dry. All the dishes are flavorful. If there is anything to improve, it would be for the stir-fry noodle dishes. For example, where are the crushed peanuts in the Pad Thai? And the Pad See-Ew has too little noodles in there. When I order noodle dishes, I expect there would be more noodle, because it's the main ingredient.

Came for some late night Thai food and was thoroughly satisfied. I wanted the Pad Kee Mao but they ran out of flat noodles : Anyways got Pad Thai instead and it was very tasty. Had all the right flavors and the only complaint that I have is that I wish it there was more! The duck noodle soup also had great flavors but there was way too many noodles and not enough broth. Duck was juicy and tender. Food: 7/10 Service: 7/10 Vibes: 8/10 Value: 7/10

I’ve never been here before. This Thai restaurant is in a shopping center so you don’t have to stress about parking. It doesn’t look much out side but when you walk in you see all the beautiful decor. Nice ambiance. It looks relaxing with the added cushioned pillows. The staff: were friendly and the service was fast. Was kind of weird though we had asked to sit in this one area and they immediately said no! But they must have had a reason. But either way we had a good experience. The food: we ordered as normal, you know fried rice, pad Thai, BBQ chicken, spring rolls, and crispy tofu. My personal favorite was the crab fried rice and crispy tofu. Tofu was perfectly cooked, there’s a crisp in every bite. The price: not bad, about $13-$15 an entree and it’s very shareable. Check out the pictures oh I recommend ordering either a Thai Tea or Thai Coffee, very refreshing and nicely presented :.

This was my first visit to Sweet Basil Thai and the experience was nearly perfect. The service was prompt, our appetizers delicious. My wife and daughters entres were great. I got the yellow curry shrimp, a favorite of mine at Thai restaurants. The shrimp were poorly cleaned, veins and legs on many. It tasted fine. I'll certainly give them another chance. UPDATE: 3 subsequent visits, and everything ordered has been phenomenal!!! Bathrooms need some work, light wasn't working in the women's and men's needed deep cleaning.

This is our go to place for Thai food in foster city - go for the Golden Pompano and Bangkok Duck. Everything else is go too but those are the standout dishes. Service is prompt even with crowds but it’s usually pretty chill.

We had not visited this restaurant since before the pandemic. Their food was always very tasty, but we used to find even their least spicy dishes way too spicy and excessively garlicky for our pallets, to the point that occasionally, we found some of the dishes so excessively spicy and garlicky that we couldn't eat any of it. To our delight, this is no longer the case. During our last 2 visits, we've found that their food is even tastier than before. Spicy dishes are clearly marked on the menu, and the rest of the dishes are well-balanced and not spicy, as expected. They either have a new chef or their chef has become more tempered in the use of spices. All-in-all excellent Thai food, nice service staff, and reasonable prices. Definitely recommend this place.

Nice Thai place with vegetarian options, delicious soup, and curry. Staff are kind and attentive. The veggie duck was delicious and so were the spring rolls. Only issue was I asked for no ice for the Thai ice tea and it came with ice. And the coconut ice cream was too hard and old tasting for the dessert. Otherwise, will come back!
