Awesome Awesome Food. Veg restaurant so good worry free for all vegetarian. We ordered thai spicy (extra thai spicy) and we were treated with amazing spice level.
Must go Thai place for vegetarians and beginners. Place is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking space. Restaurant kitchen closes few minutes before closing time and there is always little waiting for reservations. It's advice able to be there before time. Tried: Curry puff (it's like veg puff)⭐⭐⭐ Satay⭐⭐⭐ Red curry tofu⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Drunken noodle veggie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pineapple fried rice⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thai ice tea⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sitting space is good enough. Will definitely visit again for trying other menu items.
My wife chose this place for my birthday lunch and boy did we find ourselves a vegan gem hidden in Piscataway! This is a very quaint place that has ample parking. We reached early for lunch time and the restaurant was hardly full. We ordered the Tofu triangles, vegetable satay, vegetable cashew nut, pineapple fried rice and honey banana. The taste was outstanding and the quantity was quite full for three people. The person who attended us took care of the checkout too. We’ll return to this place to try out the other items on the menu.
We’ve had takeout and have also dined in multiple times and it’s delicious! Pad See You and Green Curry are favorites, but we’ve liked everything else we’ve tried too, such as the soups, salads, and a few of the main dishes too. You won’t go wrong with anything you order on their menu. Update: I liked adding tofu and extra veggies to Pad See You. It was SO delicious. I finished just about the entire container in one sitting. I’m still thinking about how good it was. Added pics of tom kha soup, pad see you, and turmeric milk latte. Amazing 10/10 recommend
Everything we had was delicious. My favorite are the basil tofu, sesame vegan chicken, basil fried rice, drunken noodles, fried mushroom, vegan thai popcorn chicken, spring rolls. Currys are good too.
The Papaya Salad was among the better ones I've tried in the area- slurped up the last bit of dressing too! The Thai Mango curry had colors and flavors, and plenty of mangoes and chewy tofu. The spiciness of the Drunken Noodles with veggie patty was perfect. And how does the broccoli get so satisfying! Veg dumpling and Veg Mushroom sausage were delicious too. Great service to go with the vegan meal.
Thai Basil is a great vegetarian/vegan restaurant. The meals are delicious, and the service is amazing!! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty delicious meal! The service is great, they are patient and the food comes out fairly quick!! The taste is delicious my husband’s favorite is pad see ew!! I got the ginger sauce with mixed vegetables. It was delicious. For appetizers we ordered the Thai spring rolls and the curry puffs. The curry puffs were so good my hubby ordered twice. The spying rolls were also nice and crispy and the filling was very tasty!! We have been here many times and will continue to come back time and time again.
My husband and I love this place! The food is authentic Thai, reasonably priced, and consistently delicious. The family who runs it is sweet, professional, and quick. I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes Thai food!
Best place for Thai food in New Jersey. No complaints. Great taste. Good service. All the dishes are delicious. Highly recommend this place. Very impressed. Red curry, thai basil fried rice, drunken noodles are my favorites.
First time visiting. Weekday. Very quiet. Very clean and greeter was sweet. A very nice young man. Ordered apps and entree and dessert. Food was definitely prepared with love and care. Presentation was 1000% Meal was wonderful. Had some steam dumplings, spring rolls, vegetable delight, general tsar chicken, dessert-mango sticky rice 🤤 and by the way, this is a VEGAN & VEGETARIAN location. I need more of this in my life. 😊 Thanks to the owner who we were told makes all the sauces for the dishes. The pairings were great. Cute spot. Friendly and attentive staff. Would def recommend and I would visit again.
