Absolutely phenomenal Thai! Some of the best I’ve ever had. Get the mango curry from the specials menu, you won’t regret it! Pumpkin curry my husband got was also delicious but the mango was my favorite. Flavorful, hearty, great amount of meat/veggies/fruit, good portion sizes, and the char on the pork loin added extra flavor. Our server was sweet as well. Very happy to have this place close by and will definitely return!

The Beef Mussaman curry was amazing. Mussaman is already my favorite curry, and theirs was top notch in every way but especially the beef itself. It was loaded with large portions of tender slow cooked beef. I’m used getting more like thinly sliced tougher meat, this was tender and generously sized. The curry was delicious as well. We also tried the mango curry, it was fantastic too.

Stopped by to get a soda, really friendly and they gave me ice with it which never melted and was rlly good quality. We should deploy the ice to the poles to help slow global warming . 5/5

Ordered fried rice, and it was super soft sticky, mushy and disgusting with lots of water underneath rice. This wasn’t anywhere close to fried rice, chicken was tasteless. The whole food was very ridiculous to eat if I don’t wanna throw up. I ended up trashing the food and promised myself never to throw my money away again, by going to this restaurant.

Presentation was top notch. Flavors were amazing. House curry wild spicy was HOT, like I like it. The yellow curry and sweet basil matched the best I’ve ever had. Tom kha soup and spring rolls did not disappoint. Staff was curious and attentive. 10/10.

I love their Tom yum noodle soup (with egg noodle)! I go to this place maybe once a month. I should try different meals but always order Tom yum noodle because it’s sooo good! Soup is slavery, spicy. And they’re always nice to me! Makes me so happy! I just moved to SF and I already miss this place….

We happened upon Sweet Basil when we were traveling through Portland 10 years ago. We were in town again tonight and decided to try it again. It was amazing just like it was 10 years ago. Service was great and our food came quickly and well priced. Of the many thai restaurants we have eaten over the years, Sweet Basil remains one of the best.
