Thai Basil Restaurant

Had tofu pad thai and it was really good! Im glad this place stayed open, during covid19 pandemic, for pick up orders. The decor is really cool and I like the open kitchen concept so you have a good view of your food being prepared. I’ll be dining in as soon as normal life resumes!

Loved this place. I'd eat there often if I'd live in Vancouver. I lived in Thailand for a while and it really felt like going back in space and time. The Massaman curry was great and I was super thrilled that they would offer Thai tea with milk. I had to order a second one. As far as I could see, all their staff was Thai, too so it's as legit as you can get. Service was fast. Their decor was also on point too, the handwritten boards and all the Thai memorabilia on the teak-house wall. I'd wish I'd stayed longer to try more of their dishes.

Great vibes and all staff are super friendly. Foods some the most authentic Thai you will find in Vancouver it's not the westernized falang Thai that all the other Thai spots serve for hype prices. And Thai basil's portions are huge and their prices are about half that of the other Thai spots aswell can't say enough good things about this place. The chef slays in the kitchen have eaten I think 6 or more meals in a row here the past few days. Pad kra pao, Laab gai, Nam tok, Som tum and Pad see ew all amazing flavors the Thai Ice coffees and teas are a great side kick with the meal, they even have Singha and Chang if you're feeling like a beer. Oh and almost forgot to mention the steamed mussels special done in coconut milk the mussels are just massive with a beautiful color to them. Thanks for holding me over til I get back to Thailand in a few weeks. Really made this falang a happy guy thanks for the welcoming vibes. See you all again soon.

Food is great, good amount and quite cheap compare to other restaurants . You have to order food at counter first, pay then find seats. I order somtum, beef thai salad and tomyum stir fry noodle

Always here for a good dine, not a long time. Straight up authentic no fuss Thai food that takes you to flavor town, quick and affordable with good portion. Convince me there is a better Thai restaurant in Vancouver - I'll wait. Yes even over all the other fancier and perhaps more well known establishments in the city serving Thai fare at a higher price point. Do yourself a flavor. And yes get the Thai Iced tea.

Khob khun ka ขอบคณคะ !! A vibrant, quaint yet traditional upbeat home-cooking style Thai joint is a great go-to option slap bang in the middle of Commercial, wiith an easy and efficient ordering service. I was impressed at how cheap this joint was, especially due to its location with pretty fresh tasting and delicious in plentiful portion! Am absolute gem of a deal in their lunch menu which has a good selection of dishes and caters well for veggies. The staff were super friendly and nice, I decided to head here after positive visits from their other branches around Vancouver and they make good vegetarian food. This joint by far is the best aesthetically, making you feel almost you've been sent into Bangkok. I got a Tofu Pad See Ew ผดซอว which was very yummy, authentically flavorsome, filling and you can grab yourself some spicy sauces, condiments and extra peanuts. It was just missing a bit of zest that gave it that really fragrant thai style flavor which always sends you back to reminiscing of good old days backpacking beautiful Thailand. They even nailed the fresh rice noodles which are super thick (super yum), drunken-style which are traditionally served with this dish. I also took home some Sweet Black Sticky Rice with Taro which was SUPER yummy! The perfect compliment to a delicious meal. Even if your not up for it at the time, I suggest to grab one of these cheap delicious desserts and refrigerate at home. All in all, a great experience and would recommend if within the area again for sure! Support local businesses!

Loved the dishes and the thai iced tea was delicious!! the place is nice located in a good spot

Oh no doubt one of the best Thai restaurants in Vancouver!!! Dishes are truly authentic and the taste is just amazing. One of my favourite places to have a lovely scrumptious meal. Super affordable prices too! I always go to the Kitsilano one, but apparently it’s owned by same person and they all know each other. A must must must go if you haven’t done so already!
