Reviews for Basil Thai Bistro in San Diego, CA

Waiting for my takeout they told me would take 25 minutes. Ready in 15. Food was hot and good. Thanks.

Not thai food. Nothing fresh. No basil. Soggy noodle. Watery broth soup. Even the Thai coffee tasted like instant coffee (how... can you do that to such a good drink?) Feeling sick from the food. Don't go here. Very expensive for what food they give. Read more

I ordered the what would be drunken noodles. Wide flat noodles with basil ect. They charge no matter what for any neat or... vegetarian. I ordered vegetarian& called to say no carrots no celery and had to pay for 3 pieces of broccoli... yep...I calledthem ..then it didn't have basil or peppers..which are just part of the recipe period. Will never order from them again becauseI called ahead of time gave them verbal order , di doordash, which doesn't refund you the whole amount at all that's illegal. Goto Bahn Thai. For great Thao food best drunken noodle ever hands down. Read more

Terrible beef pad Thai, meat looks pale, tastes dry and exactly like chicken, I can?t believe I paid extra ($10.95) for this,... and it?s dry. When I complained about it they just offered to remake it, poor customer service. Ordered yellow curry($12.95),very small serving of rice, potatoes tasted raw, carton of curry 3/4 full. I worked in the restaurant business as a server foryears and this is not how I?d handle a complaint, I would offer a different dish, different protein, or complimentary item. Goto Tamarind Thai or Bamboo Thai in La Mesa instead of this place. Read more

Welcome to Thailand! Loved the food! Kau pad moo (Thai fried rice with pork) was absolutely perfect. Chai yen (Thai tea) on... point. My waitress Faith was very attentive and helpful. She checked on me at the right times and made sure everything wasgoing well. This place rocks! I almost forgot I wasn't in Bangkok. Definitely worth a visit. Read more

I ordered cream cheese wontons, satay chicken and house salad. The service is great, the food is better. Wontons were crispy.... Vegetables were fresh. Chicken was tender, the sauces delightful. Read more

I ordered the shrimp and calamari pad thai and the chicken Panang curry. I was really excited for this but honestly the pad Thai... was really bland, the calamari tasted nasty and the shrimp tasted like it had been wayyy over cooked. I had a few bites andthrew the pad Thai out. The panang curry was ok. Read more
