Really good food however their portion size is small compared to the price charged. Especially when taking out, I think they need to increase the portion size when it comes to rice and noddles dishes.

One of my favourite spots on Dominion Road. So far they have the best Pad Thai that I have tried hands down. Their other dishes are also great Cashew chicken is another favourite. Definitely recommended. Cute setting, love the decor and how they set up the tables. Ambience is nice, and service is good

Dined in with my friend at around 6pm on a Friday evening, it wasn't that busy. Surprised by the nice decoration, proper tablesetting. We ordered two popular Thai dishes, sweet and sour whole snapper and Tom yum soup.

It was a pleasant experience, nothing to critize about food, service and ambieance. A well deserved five stars rating for this visit.

Great service and great food. We visit this place every week for work lunch $12.50. Recommend green curry, pad Thai and tom yum. Friendly staff and don’t generally have to wait for long for the food which is great for work lunch.

Best Thai food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This place is best stop for ones who loves Thai 🥘 food. I visited this place first time yesterday and was so impressed with their fabulous service and delicious food. I did Takeway and they didn't put me on hold for long, and the lady on counter was very friendly as well. Basil Thai is now my favourite for Thai food. If anyone is looking for cheap and tasty Thai food ..I think you should visit this place once. Thanks

Basil Thai has a very nice traditional Thai decor with a touch of assimilation to the Kiwi culture too. The waiter is always very pleasant there, albeit not having the best English. Their lunch meals are amazing, I come here fortnightly on my lunch breaks to try their delicious food, my favourite would be their Tom Kah Gai.

Quiet for a Tuesday evening dinner.

Place is not that big, but table setup were very nicely done. Cutleries were unique.


The staff was friendly and always had smile on her face.

Food---good. All the dishes have a sweet taste on it which was perfectly balance.
Roti was different from the usual roti that i had before.

Great 👍🏻

Basil Thai Restaurant's Green Curry is very good. Before we get into why, let's talk about Thai Green Curry in Auckland: why do so many Thai Green Curries taste EXACTLY the same? And not good the same, boring the same. And why are they always stacked with bamboo shoot after bamboo shoot then a measly chunk of broccoli stalk? Very annoying. But Basil Thai? No no no. Basil Thai doesn’t do boring bamboo only plain green curry. They stand proudly above the plebeians. Clearly they graduated with first class curry honours. Precisely how? We couldn’t tell you - we may be high level Google Reviewers but we’re not professional curry critics. But what we can tell you… is that Basil Thai’s Thai Green Curry is better than most Thai Green Curries. It’s more… dynamic. Is it the type of green chili they use, or perhaps the way they crush their white peppercorns… maybe it’s the coriander seeds, cilantro roots? We don’t know but whatever they’re doing it’s very good. Is it cumin?? Chili oil?? Is it coconut tears instead of coconut milk? Who knows. Who cares. Yum. So yes. We loved the flavour. PLUS - an actual good range of vegetables. And a silky cream texture with a good touch of an oily finish. - Special mention to the amount of satay sauce added to the chicken satay. Take note everyone else - it’s not called chicken SATAY for nothing. Well done Thai Basil. Now we know where to get our Green Curry.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. An authentic Thai restaurant with vegan options. The red curry I tried was easily the best I’ve had. One minor gripe though, the current doesn’t come with rice, which you have to pay extra for. Vegan food needs to be asked for as it is not labelled in the menu, however staff are very friendly and willing to assist.

Wonderful food and the staff were great. They made some adjustments for food sensitivities which I greatly appreciated. I was bummed that my travel schedule didn't allow for a return visit because I would've happily gone back for another dinner!

Great Thai food. Fresh ingredients, good flavours and quantity. Def one of the better Thai resturants for quality and flavour. We dined in. Not really a resturant. More so a bunch of tables in a takeaway. A little old and rundown. Service was pretty mych non existent. But the food was really good.

Lovely little restaurant, with exceptional food and great service. Dined with family (2 adults, 2 kids) and every option we chose was full of flavour, and full of fresh veges and well cooked meat.

Although this community restaurant is relatively small, it certainly made up for that in quality. The food selection was very good as were the flavours and presentation. The prices were mid range at an average of $34 pp for our table of six. Thai is my personal favourite cuisine and Basil Thai did not disappoint. The only slight difficulty was finding a park in what is a busy restaurant precinct but once that was sorted it was a most enjoyable evening.

AMAZING food, we have been going here for a while and love it. We are creatures of habit so we usually get the same things but can highly recommend (if you are vege) the Tow Hoo Kra Pao, rest of the family like the chicken Massaman. Only downside is that you have to pay extra for rice as it is not included but that seems to be an increasing trend making the meal quite expensive overall, especially as a takeaway . . . .
