Cool Basil - Clive

My wife and I were here as the last date night thing. We came in and were greeted immediately. The hostess was very nice and sat right away. We got ice water because we had set ourselves on our meals. We got a nice drink from the bar and 2 menu items. The food was great and beautifully presented. We had a great time and will definitely be back next time.

My absolute favorite Asian restaurant in the Des Moines area. It’s a hidden gem! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I eat here probably every 2 weeks. They have a huge menu and probably about half or more can be made gluten free. I recommend the Bubble Teas, Chicken Satay, and of course gluten free fried rice. I get takeout too and it’s very fast.

My favorite restaurant in Des Moines, fresh and delicious food, friendly service, affordable, and always clean. I love spending time with my family over there

After moving homes, I don’t live next to Thai Flavors to order from there as much. I decided to order from Cool Basil and it’s the exact same like at Thai Flavors. I’m literally addicted to their sushi!! A bonus is that at Cool Basil they have the tempura appetizer which is SOOOO GOOD I tried curbside and inside order pickup, their service is fast! I never have to wait for my food when I arrive

We decided to try Cool Basil on a whim for my daughter's 17th birthday lunch, and we were truly impressed! The service was top-notch, and we really enjoyed our server's hospitality. The food portions were generous, and the lunch prices were quite reasonable. I was pleasantly surprised to find that our sushi roll was freshly made and less expensive than at other places we've visited. It was excellent! Oh, and the strawberry dish was quite entertaining.
