This is our go-to for good Thai food in Lake Oswego. The stir fry, noodles, and curries with chicken are consistently good and so is the service even when they are busy. The fried rice dishes are very tasty.
Food has really gone downhill recently. Curry is watery and tasteless, Pad Thai is meh. Fine in a pinch I guess but not something I would recommend.

Amazing food every time! I come here to treat myself. The lower atmosphere score is the boxes in the back. It detracts from the ambiance.

Thai Basil - The food is excellent and the whole place is decorated beautifully. About six months ago, I noticed a little area of used boxes was starting to collect directly in front of their back wall under some impressive wall art. Two nights ago, I saw that it had mutated into a mountain of empty boxes resting on bags of rice! After complimenting the woman serving us our dinner on the quality of the food and the beauty of the décor, I asked her why the boxes were there in plain view of all the customers. She said they were used for take-out. When the small number of boxes were ostensibly over-looked by customers, the owner (possibly unconsciously) decided that the main focal wall of his restaurant was the perfect place for all the boxes that were shipped to the restaurant. He stopped seeing them as messy and they were now in a convenient place and a great way to recycle. It was shocking to see as the wall of boxes was at least 4’ high, covering some of the lovely wall art.I'm writing this in the hope that the owner sees this and finds a better place for the boxes and bags of rice - and restores this area back to the beautiful focal point that it was designed to be.Once again - great food and service!

When you have a great go-to place to get Thai food it is always hard to try any place else. Thai Basil didn't disappoint, and I have another place to go when I am up here. The curry was made less spicy for us, but still a bit on the hot side for my wife. It was very delicious. The appetizer combo platter was a good mix of delicious treats. The peanut sauce was yummy as was the lemongrass chicken pad Thai. The best dish of the night was the pineapple fried rice, a house favorite. It is obvious why it is their favorite, and it is certainly a favorite of mine now. The raisins in it really were a nice touch.
Exceptional, outstanding Thai food. Ping is amazing! The Three-Flavor Salmon is incredible. The service is second to none.

We’ve been eating at Thai basil, for as long as it’s been opened. It is our go to take away dinner when we don’t want to cook. Our favorites are pad Thai and pineapple fried rice. We’ve never had anything but amazing service.So thankful for Thai basil!

Staff weren’t very friendly!! I always wonder about a place when they have a large sign “ we reserve the right to refuse service”. Portions are little on small side. Honestly yellow curry chicken tasted pretty good. They do charge for sauce ( and do not ship with orders) Double check those togo’s….
I came back yes indeed, is flavourful. Can't stop eating it yum. After 2 years. I came back for work and this was the first place I came to.Got the masaman Veggie curry this time. YumFirst time 2021, So good the flavors of the food I got was delicious.Tropical Mango dish was very good.

Traditional Asian restaurant decor, lots of seating, quick service. This reminds me of some of the places we went to in the 80s & 90s. It's great for a work lunch because the portions are perfect - I don't feel like I need a nap afterwards. The menu has lots of choices, including vegetarian. The prices are very reasonable! The taste is simple. The ingredients are good. We will be back!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetables and tofu!

I’ve been trying to find some authentic Thai food around the Tigard area and am happy to report that Thai Basil has some OUTSTANDING food. It’s seasoned just right and the ingredients were of great quality.

We ordered takeout from this place and picked up our order. The food was delicious. We got the drunken noodles, the basil fried rice, and a salad roll. The lunch prices were reasonable, and the food was on point. The atmosphere in the restaurant was not the greatest. It looked like the dining room doubled as a storage area for empty cardboard boxes. We weren't too bothered, though, since we weren't dining in. We will definitely be back for takeout.
