1st Thai Basil

In the Heart of Endicott on Washington Ave. Authentic Thai Food. Very tasty, can spice to suit. I got a three Chili hotness, pretty hot, but tasty. It was a Saturday night, wait staff was very busy but attentive. Atmosphere nice and quiet. Excellent menu selection. There is also a bar if that is more to your liking.

We ordered the Pad Thai and the appetizer sampler to go. The Pad Thai was absolutely horrific, totally inedible. The appetizers were all deep fried and did not contain the items that were specified. They were horrible also. We couldn't eat any of it. We had to throw erything away and raided the freezer for something to eat. 30 dollars down the drain. I don't mind splurging on food once in a while, but it shouldn't be inedible. How could anyone give this place a decent rating? I will never go back there.

Just ok! This was my 1st visit and we went on a Thursday night, at 7PM. We had a Groupon, which they accepted w/o an issue. The place was spacious, easily sitting over 200 customers and an extra 12 to 15 at a beautiful bar. But it was empty! There was nobody at the door, so we walked around and discovered an employee who not so politely told us to sit anywhere! We ordered a variety of items from their menu, which offered a good variety of stuff. We enjoyed the Spring Rolls and the Coconut Thai Soup (you know the one- the one that I fail to successfully duplicate at home- time after time!) We also enjoyed the Thai Salad served with a mega mound of Peanut Sauce, which was only OK! Sadly! Too bland for me! For dinner we split an order of Stir Fry, one with chili and one with lobster and assorted seafood. The Lobster version was the Chef Special and was described as having squid, scallop, shrimp, and lobster in it. My entree had 3 medium size shrimp and 3 tasteless pieces of lobster and several large hunks of lobster shell! These pieces were easily large enough to inflict damage to the unsuspecting. We ordered both items with a level of 2 chili spiciness. This was recommended. We would have enjoyed the next level up more, I think! Service was great, considering our server was all alone, but not so great, because there was a beautiful bar and we were never asked if we wanted a drink! Prices of the apps and salad were reasonable. The mains we're high. This was a nice place but located in a dismal area of closed or shuttered storefronts. Weekend nights might be better. Parking was free on the street outside.

Our waitress was nice. Took forever to get our food and the place wasn't busy. I had honey sauce which was ok but I had to have it gluten free so it lost something. One thing though if like honey nut where the meat is written in as part of the dish, check your bill. 2 of our party had the meat added at extra cost. The bill was corrected once we pointed it out and got the waitress to understand what we meant.

The food quality here is average for local thai restaurants. I found their dishes to not be quite as seasoned as one would expect thai food to be. The service here is really good though. The waiters and waitresses will make you feel very comfortable and assist you if you need anything. On Tuesday's this restaurant serves a buffet for $12'ish dollars a person that is unlimited and pretty decent as well. Nice place to go on occasion for lunch.
