The food was cheap & okay. Thai tea was delicious. I got spicy fried rice with pork, but there were very few pieces of meat in the dish. The dish was on the sweeter side than spicy. It was good but nothing extraordinary.

It’s worth coming out to this residential strip mall for the complex flavors and thoughtful presentation at Sweet Basil. The curries have a deepness from the spice mix. The standard Thai dishes have separate flavor profiles. The dining room is always beautifully decorated, but is usually loud and hot. 18% gratuity is automatically added for parties of 4 or more. Recommend the curries and papaya salad, and unremarkable dishes are the Pad Thai and fried duck.

Great local Thai joint. Curries are on point. The masaman curry is one of my faves that I always get. Pad Thai is delicious and the crab or duck fried rice are always go to dishes for us. The roti is surprisingly good as well. Overall you probably won’t find any bad dishes here. Service is good and it’s a decent environment. It’s worth going out of your way for this place if you’re feeling like Thai food. You won’t be disappointed.

This is one of the better Thai restaurants I have tried. Every time I eat their dishes, I am really impressed that the meats are always tender (all the other Thai restaurants I have tried make their meats dry). All the dishes are flavorful.

Came for some late night Thai food and was thoroughly satisfied. I wanted the Pad Kee Mao but they ran out of flat noodles 🙁 Anyways got Pad Thai instead and it was very tasty. Had all the right flavors and the only complaint that I have is that I wish it there was more! The duck noodle soup also had great flavors but there was way too many noodles and not enough broth. Duck was juicy and tender.

I’ve never been here before. This Thai restaurant is in a shopping center so you don’t have to stress about parking. It doesn’t look much out side but when you walk in you see all the beautiful decor. Nice ambiance. It looks relaxing with the added cushioned pillows.

This was my first visit to Sweet Basil Thai and the experience was nearly perfect. The service was prompt, our appetizers delicious. My wife and daughters entres were great. I got the yellow curry shrimp, a favorite of mine at Thai restaurants. The shrimp were poorly cleaned, veins and legs on many. It tasted fine. I’ll certainly give them another chance. UPDATE: 3 subsequent visits, and everything ordered has been phenomenal!!! Bathrooms need some work, light wasn’t working in the women’s and men’s needed deep cleaning.

This is our go to place for Thai food in foster city – go for the Golden Pompano and Bangkok Duck. Everything else is go too but those are the standout dishes. Service is prompt even with crowds but it’s usually pretty chill.

We had not visited this restaurant since before the pandemic. Their food was always very tasty, but we used to find even their least spicy dishes way too spicy and excessively garlicky for our pallets, to the point that occasionally, we found some of the dishes so excessively spicy and garlicky that we couldn’t eat any of it.
