We love this place! Hotpot dishes are what we normally order. Dine in at least 2+ time a month. I actually like the new app that you can place order on phone, they still have paper menu if needed. “Create your own hot pot” is the best option and each time they deliver the perfect flavor. Pork egg rolls and cashew chicken are delicious too. So far every dishes we ordered are exceptional.
Couple of days back, I ordered food from this restaurant through GrubHub, and it was a delightful experience. The cashew nut entree with Tofu was a flavorful stir-fry featuring green onions, bell peppers, carrots, and cashew nuts, all perfectly complemented by the tofu and a hint of roasted dry hot chili. The vegetable thai fried rice, made with jasmine rice, egg, tomatoes, onions, broccoli, and crispy garlic, was a delightful side. The food was well-seasoned and delivered in a timely manner. This restaurant has certainly earned my recommendation for its delicious thai cuisine, and I look forward to ordering from them again.
The fact that I don’t have to talk to a server and I can place my own order from the table using a QR code is everything! I get exactly what I order!! no mistakes unless I make them myself sending my order to the kitchen. I love it !
Nice Thai place that specializes in Hot Pot! We got the Drunken noodles and Panang curry, both were delicious! The Drunken noodles especially were very flavorful. Next time we will try the hot pot, we didn't this time because we came for lunch. The prices are very reasonable too, cheaper than a lot of other Thai places in town.
I went to Basil Thai during my lunch break. I walked here because it is close to were I work. The lady that attended me was polite and attentive. I got rice with shrimp, chicken and veggies. I also got a Thai drink which was milky and it looked orange as shown in picture. It was very good!
Not sure how this place had been getting bad reviews, but I've been coming here for years! I like to get the individual custom hot pots, so I can't speak too much on their other dishes. Their broths tend to be thinner, but keeping in mind the experience of hot pot and having your add-ins flavor your broth, they do a good job. I used to get the szechuan Mala broth, which is super spicy and good for this pepper head, but opted for the panang curry (spicy) with the lamb and curry combo inside it this week. My friend got the miso broth for his (mild) and we both really loved our dishes! The staff is super nice, it was clean, and the food was delicious (great portion size too and I get to take some leftovers hehe). It might not be the best hot pot in town, but it definitely hits the spot and is a great value!
The BEST Pad See Ew I ever had!! My to-go container was stuffed with beef, broccoli, carrots, noodles, and egg. So GOOD!! I ate it all in my car while writing this review.
The woman behind the counter was so kind and welcoming. I’m telling everyone about this place!!
LITERALLY MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN AUSTIN!!! I love getting their extra spicy seafood Tom Kha individual hot pot. They never miss!
FYI: They do close 4-5pm for their break. They are fully closed Tuesdays
Excellent food! I spent 13 years in the Navy and visited Thailand several times, this is good Thai food...THE BEST I'VE HAD IN AUSTIN. I would have included pictures but I was too busy eating lol. I will add pictures next time. I highly encourage you to try this restaurant and I recommend either a hot pot of your liking or the Drunken Noodle. The attached photos show the same dishes ordered over several visits and show that the food is very consistent. The food is so good there may be a wait...WAIT! Not open on Tuesday.

The food was excellent, had thw Pad Thai (medium spic)e) and thw Pork egg rolls. Both items were very good could be more attentive when it comes to refilling or refreshing drinks. Initial delivery of drinks after ordering was quick. I had to flag someone down to get a new drink and with sitting still eating the Ice water (second drink once flagging down someone) was not refilled.
There is little no choice for hot pot in Austin area. This one will do fine if you just want to ease your craving for hotpot. But do not come with a very high expectations. Create your own hot pot option does cost a bit more than a set. The staff is friendly.
Yellow curry pot is a bit too runny but it tastes good. Rice has to be ordered separately. I imagine this will be a top priority for me in cold weather.

Basil Thai has the best comfortable food for me in a healthy way. I like pick the soup and meat and vegetables by myself from the menu to make an individual hot pot! When I was pregnant I ate the food, and now my children like eating with me together! The place is very clean. The speed of serving is fast in regular hours. In high peak hours, the waiting time is also reasonable! The service is wonderful-always welcoming and kind and considerate. I like the spacious seating space! How comfortable when I am sitting with my children without stresses being to close to others. This restaurant accompanied me for years and gave me comfort and good food for many important days-for when I was pregnant, for I was busy for work, for I was dating with my husband, for I was having fun with my good friends, for I felt sick and needed comfortable soup, for I was eating with my children to make them feel happy, for my husband hanging out with his friends, for when we treated our visitors and families! So many beautiful memories!
Great Experience! Great and tasty food! Would definitely recommend and would enjoy going back for another great experience. The staff were very helpful and seemed to notice if we ever needed anything. The portions were also very generous and I could only eat about half of what I was given. Seating was good as well. A big thank you to Basil Thai team! I already have told someone I know about this place and would highly recommend you check it out.
Love this place so much! The lady that works in the front is so so nice (I think she might be the owner) is one of the reasons we keep coming back! I always get the create your own noodle soup with thai panang curry base! My husband gets the crest your own hot pot with yellow curry and he loves it as well! Their thai tea is also amazing, I usually get one to go for after our meal.
My favorite restaurant in Austin. Super consistent and never disappoint.
This place was a great experience. I had never tried hot pot before, am a huge fan of Phó and Ramen so thought why not. They have a pretty extensive menu and also a build your own option. I chose to build my own and was not disappointed. I had a red curry beef , after selecting my protein and base ypu get to choose up to 8 other ingredients. I also had their beef egg rolls 😋, delicious. I will definitely be back can't wait to try the spicy dry pot next.
i really enjoyed their individual, personalized hot pot! it came out pretty quick and was quite tasty! would not recommend getting corn in your pot, wasn’t worth.
