Reviews for House of Basil in San Ramon, CA

I have ordered take out food from here several times with no problem with the food or service, however the food quality seems to... be a little less than before. In my previous review I gave them four stars. Their sister restaurant, Basil delight, is stillexcellent. Read more

Service was very good and pleasant. Roti Kari was a bit unlike what I'm used to in other Singaporean or Malaysian restaurants... where roti is fluffed up. Sauce was fine. Beef Rendang was overly sweet and sauce much more thin than the very thick traditionalone. The sweetness was a bit overwhelming. Maybe their Thai food is better. Read more

Delicious food. We had Tamarind shrimp and there were lots of shrimp and good size, unlike other places. Rending beef was... similar to a beef stew but had interesting fla ors. There were spices that I didn't recognize but all worked well together. Also had fried chicken w beans..Delicious. lastly was Curry Latka...it is a cross between a yummy curry and a soup. Never hadthese dishes before. Some other reviews grumbled about quality but my party of 4 loved the entire meal. One said it is her newfavorite restaurant Read more

The chef cooks super fast? like, Fast and Furious fast. We ordered 3 dish. It took the chef like.. 5-6 minutes? Quality wise,... this is the place to go when you crave pineapple fried rice or thai curry and stuff. They offer authentic Thai flavor, coupledwith great culinary skills. The price range is quite nice, in Sam Ramon. Tables and utensils are clean. Atmosphere is bright.There?s one room for improvement - it is that the restaurant could benefit from better interior designs? i guess some authenticThai decorations would do. Like, I would like to feel the Thai Vibe while eating Thai food. Read more

Great menu options for vegetarians but specify No Egg and replace egg with tofu (soft if you prefer). Sauces also have... vegetarian option without mix of oyster sauce etc. all the items we ordered tasted fresh and delicious. Restaurant was veryclean and service was fast and friendly. Felt that the quantity could be a little more. Read more

Stale food and yekky smell. All 4items felt the same and fish cakes are the worst pungent smell and taste. Food comes out in no... time from the time you place order, it also says, nothing is fresh & is prepared well in advance(days) & also the reason why ittaste stale. The gal serving has no answer and questioning what I was saying about smelly fish cake. Floor was not clean andtables are sticky for a 12:30pm lunch on a Sunday & we are the only ones there.. I only hope the restaurant would survive for along time, but the food says me otherwise. Not a $55 for two food. I rushed out with disappointment. I was wondering why wouldall 18reviews before this gave 5stars for a new eatery with similar tone and view points, definitely friends and family reviews?don?t be fooled by the reviews, if you eat once you will never go back . Thanks but no thanks ???? Read more

Fantastic food and great service; clean interior as well. The spicy bamboo veggie dish on the left was a perfect level of spice... and packed with veggies. The pad Thai on the right was perhaps some of the best I?ve ever had - the noodles were wet enough withsauce that every bite was flavorful and I love the balance of tamarind sweetness and the fish sauce taste. Prices are alsoperfectly reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. Absolutely recommend; amazing new Thai restaurant. Read more

Great addition to the Thai/Malaysian cuisine in San Ramon. I ordered Tom Yum soup and sweet n sour chicken. Both items were... fresh and delicious. Portions were great and prices are in line with other area restaurants. 5 stars for this new family ownedrestaurant. Read more
