Basil Thai - Federal Way

I’ve gone here multiple times and love it! The food here is always well prepared and very flavorful. I have ordered multiple types of curry, but my favorite to get is the panang curry. The portions are generous and the consistency of the curry is perfect (it isn’t too thick or thin, so it is soaked up by the rice well without having too much rice or curry left over to achieve this balance). I’ve also ordered the spring rolls and would definitely recommend them. After trying here, it’s become one of my favorites if I’m craving Thai food. I have yet to eat inside, but the dining area is well decorated. I always order carry out, and love seeing the layout and decor. It feels cozy inside with cushioned seating and warm toned decor. The counter for the register as well as for fresh food to be set out is wide at the center of the restaurant and we’ll organized. It’s never been too busy inside, but it makes it nice and quiet when I visit. The food is also always prepared pretty quickly for takeout and hot/fresh.

Great place to eat real Thai food. So good and yummy, and can be spicy. My friend says the Pad Thai best she ever had... I love the Papaya salad, my friend love phad thai.

Not great, but not the worst either. The Panang Curry was decent, but everything else was subpar. Lunch specials were served in flat bottom boxes, so the sauces ran everywhere, making the fried stuff get soggy. Pineapple Fried Rice was awful, no exaggeration. It had that distinct old-fryer-oil taste, mixed with strong fishy notes. Note that it was the Chicken version, and this was not the good fishy notes. We threw this out. Cashew Chicken was bland. My first thought was 'generic Chinese takeout '. If the price were lower it 'd be kind of ok, just add flavor with sauces. Garlic Chicken was ok. I would suggest not going, but if you do, stick with the curries. If I had only gotten the Panang I 'd have a better review, but it was all downhill from that dish.

Picked up a doordash order about 8 minutes before closing. Asked to use the restroom before I took the order to their customer. The man at the front desk was insanely rude. closing in 8 minutes so cannot use the restroom for 2. I'll never be a customer here because of the poor way I was treated. There are PLENTY of other Thai options where the people are actually nice. Even the poor girl working there couldn't believe he told me no the way he did. Give your business to kind people who actually deserve it.

Excellent service! Yummy selections! Flexible amendments to my meal selections always! Parking is available in this strip mall, with a easy access door! Specials always featured, I recommend this Basil Thai Restaurant eat-out option!
