Ive been eating here for the past four years. Maybe Im just getting tired of it and ready for a new place. But they just seem like theyre off their game lately. The cream cheese wontons were not piping hot. The shrimp pad Thai did not have any crushed peanuts on top. The tofu was not hot and fresh, and the shrimp was not very tender. The vegetable medley had great flavor and the white rice was perfect The gentleman in the table next to us was in need of something for the food that he was just served. The waitress comes up to our table to ask us what we would like to eat. She addressed the gentleman who was in need but did not go to his table. She stood at our table, and with a loud voice communicated with him, and then gave a snarky look as if she was put out by him.

One of the nicer restaurants in Carson City. Typically go for family special occasion dinners. Food is really good, prices are to be expected.

Unfortunately having to update my review . Which was a 5 Star down to 3 Star, I want to make it very clear, that I have NEVER had a bad meal from The Basil Restaurant. They are our favorite Thai Restaurant. This updated review is solely due to their ongoing Price Increases! We have been loyal customers, enjoying them often for many, many years even through previous owners. But now I just can't, and am unwilling to pay $20 for Fried Rice. I mean, I know what the market rates on rice are, and as so many businesses increase all the prices blaming the economy, this one does not sit well with me. Their food is good, it's NOT $20 for rice dish good. We are very sad, as it was one of our favorite restaurants in Carson and maybe that popularity played into the owners decision to keep increasing and pricing loyal customers out of the market. It's not reasonable for dinner for 4 to jump from $80 to $140+ in less than a year. Sad times indeed, if management is able to reassess their pricing we'd love to come back, but until then We All Are Getting Beaten Down From Inflation, but these price increase choices seem excess. Parking: Only a couple parking spots in front of restaurant, otherwise you have to park on side streets or far behind buildings in parking lot.
