Bland exterior hides a culinary delight! Parking lot was still packed as we drove by for a post dinner rush meal. The food was amazing! After a few trips to Thailand it takes a lot to impress me. My wife had the Woonsen noodles, she loved it! I had Panang curry with chicken. The portion was sizable and the taste, well let’s just say that I will be coming back for more! They have a neat microbrewery and bar area but we didn’t partake on this visit. Strongly recommend you stop in to this place. Price is also very reasonable!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely delicious! Thai Basil on West Bay Drive is hands down one of the best Thai restaurants in the area. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish bursts with authentic flavor — you can really taste the love and care that goes into the cooking. The staff is friendly, attentive, and make you feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere is cozy and clean, perfect for both dine-in or takeout. If you love Thai food, you must try their Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, and Coconut Soup — each one is perfection. I’ve been here multiple times, and it’s consistently amazing. Highly recommend to anyone looking for real, quality Thai cuisine right here in Largo!
From the outside, the Thai Basil Restaurant looks like a small restaurant. As I entered, I was surprised at how large the interior was. There is a med sized seating area to the right, but you look left, and it's a large dining hall. Large enough for large gatherings if desired or medium party. Both dining areas are comfortable. The servicing staff provided great customer service and frequently asked if we needed anything. Water glass kept full, and food was great. They also have brewing area for craft beers. I am happy to have my dinner here and will return to friendly service.
I wish I could say that I took pictures of the food, but I didn't. I tried 3 appetizers and 3 entrees from the menu and none disappointed. The service staff were attentive and helpful and the restaurant atmosphere well inviting, clean, and not too loud. I look forward to returning to this location!
The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. It's a little dark, but there's enough light to see. The lunch menu is good, with curries and pad Thai. I had the sweet and sour chicken (so-so) and veggie rolls (very good). My wife had the Amazing Pram and she said it was good, but it needed more seasoning. The waitress was very attentive and our total for 3 meals and drinks was $55. There is plenty of parking, and they accept both credit cards and cash.
