I've eaten here twice. The first time was dine-in with Pad Thai chicken hot--a classic dish that gives me a consistent basis for comparing Thai restaurants. The service was friendly and the presentation was fine. But the dish was bland in a way that wasn't entirely explained by the abnormally light spice (no more than mild+). The second time was take-out with Curry Noodle chicken hot. I received two containers: one with wavy ramen noodles over steamed veggies and fresh sprouts (sprouts should be served on top rather than getting cooked under the wrong noodles), and the other with the mild+ sauce and chicken. Well, this explains the mysteriously bland flavor--the dish was never cooked in the sauce, and it releases the flavorless water it was cooked in when you chew the noodles and veggies. 2 dishes, 3 strikes. I will not be returning.

Stopped in on a weekday afternoon with a buddy. Oye (sp?), a very sweet Thai lady, took care of us. Very friendly! I ordered pineapple fried rice with chicken. It was very tasty! I am from CA, and my next trip out will include a stop at Basil Thai! It is right next to a hi-fi/home theatre store, which was also a winner.

Fast and friendly service. Had the drunken noodles and pad gai which were both great and spicy. Will be returning!
