Reviews for Sweet Basil Thai in Berkeley, CA

Good but recommend level 6 spicy

Put your Wonder bread down, old white folks! Sweet Basil brings you a taste of the Far East (as in Albany). Don?t worry, there?s... no spice here whatsoever! No chillies allowed! Bring your pale whitest of British pallets here - they?ll love it too! Read more

Recommended by friends who live a few blocks away. My first visit in many years. Thai iced tea and thom yum goong soup were... excellent and ample Ordered chef's special kow soi nuer, braised beef in yellow coconut curry over rice? noodles. Beef andcurry were excellent. Noodles were pasty goo even though curry sauce was served separately in a pitcher. I didn't eat thenoodles. Server asked why I didn't finish the dish and I explained about the goopy noodles. I could have complained when I wasfirst served but I am unfamiliar with this dish and assumed noodles were supposed to be gooey. I will go back but won't orderthat dish again. Read more

Delicious soup, salad, rice, egg roll, and main entree for their lunch special with plenty of vegetarian options. Everything was... flavorful and the lychee iced tea was sweet enough to be dessert. Luckily they had an outdoor dining option as well! Read more

The food was passably alright, but the pricing and value is really, really, REALLY bad. Rice wasn't included with the curry, the... summer rolls were double the price of nearby similar restaurants with half the portion, no utensils or napkins. This is the kindof food that would be an excellent value if it was a quarter of the price, but we paid nearly ~$40 (including delivery, butstill) for panang curry and less spring rolls than is available at convenience stores.

Nice seating environment down stairs, sitting... down stairs made the place kind of different an I started think Wow suck a nice house it is ! my waiter was kind an very nicean the food has so many bursting flavors Definitely 4stars in my eyes yamtombout Read more

Not very good, although the bill in its own way was epic. It makes you wonder whether any of these reviews (or Yelp, for... example) for that matter showcase the utter lack of taste that seems so abundant. Better off making your own food. Read more

(May 2017) Yummy food, served family style. Not crowded. Easy to have a conversation. Update (May 2018): Still great food, but... a new menu that is easier to follow. Good salmon dishes, plus excellent standard dishes like pad Thai and chicken satay. Muchmore crowded this time. The kids loved the crayons provided for drawing on the paper tablecloths. Read more
