Reviews for Thai Basil Restaurant & Bar in Stillwater, MN
Absolutely delicious! Most recent visit we had the panang curry, drunken noodles, and pork egg rolls. They were very busy on a... Friday night, and just like most places, have been struggling to stay adequately staffed. The woman and young man working thedining room and host stand were doing a fantastic job handling dine in and take out business. I waited a while for my takeoutorder, but that was fine, because as I said, it was Friday night, and the food was as wonderful as always! Read more
Pork red curry. Very spicy. Completely finished. Very good Thai food. Worth the money in my opinion. It's not standard Thai... food restaurant. The menu is extensive. to top it all off it's a full bar with a patio. I would eat here again in a heartbeat. Read more
Clean and quiet. Service was a bit slow at times (only one server for the whole restaurant). But service was friendly. Meals are... very customizable for all types of dietary restrictions. Pick your meal, pick your protein, etc. Good drinks. Reasonable pricesdepending on protein. Egg rolls are amazing here. Read more
Horrible experience. I asked for Pad Thai with 0 heat. When I took the 1st bite, it was so spicy I couldn't eat it. Server... didn't return for 20 minutes (and thn just to deliver the bill). I let her know that my food was made wrong and was inedible andasked to have the cost taken off of the bill. She said they don't do that but would ask. Came back saying the kitchen couldremake it but they won't refund. My family was done eating, I didn't want to wait even longer for them to make it, and wasuncomfortable with them cooking my food after I complained. It was both the server's fault for not checking back to see how ourfood was, and also the cooks who ignored the 0 spice request. The rest of my family was underwhelmed with their food, as well.Will never return. Read more
I would agree with the other reviews that the wait time for takeout is outrageous at times. I wish they?d just stop taking to-go... orders if they are busy and backed up?I?d rather be denied than wait hours, It would be less frustrating and I?d just come upwith another plan. The food is good though! Id say it?s a different flair than traditional Thai food that I?ve had. Id probablyrecommend just going in! Read more
I drove 30 minutes to this restaurant just for their wontons and Grilled Chicken (under the Thai Basil Specialties list) dishes.... They are DELICIOUS. I would move to Stillwater just to be close to Thai Basil. I've been craving the Grilled Chicken dish eversince I first had it when I visited Stillwater 2 years ago. Also tried the Lychee Mimosa here and that was pretty good too. Lovethis place. Read more
We gave this place one more shot, 3 months after an awful customer experience of paying and ordering ahead, and then arriving... for pickup only to be told, ?oh sorry - we didn?t get the order so we don?t have it.? Tonight, the same story. Ordered a mealfor Mother?s Day. Ahead of time. At 5:29pm. Pickup time was 6:51pm. Arrived at 6:55pm. The smug teenager trying his best said,?So, your order isn?t ready yet, and it?ll be two more hours.? I commented, ?So, you close at 8, correct? And we ordered this at5:29pm.? He proudly stated, ?That?s valid, and you?re right! Should I cancel your order, then?? It isn't difficult to beupfront, communicate, or even have a little bit of compassion or offer any alternatives to long time customers. Sorry,Phouvanh. We?re done. And happy Mother?s Day. Read more
Terrific place! They were super short staffed and running behind on my pick up order so gave me a free egg roll while I waited!... I certainly didn't mind waiting a few extra minutes while I snacked on a tasty, crispy egg roll. I've been here a few times, andthe food is always delicious! Read more
