I'm Asian and this place has one of the worse Thai tasting food. I'm really into fresh and clean tasting food and I also cook a lot from my own herb garden, so I'm very picky. It's OK if you're used to commercial take out. I don't usually like the typical Chinese restaurants that are usual too greasy and salty.... More

We went in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon after reading the special board posted outside. The coconut creme brûlée served in a coconut shell sounded like a perfect way to finish a meal. There was also a special salmon wrapped in banana leaf that sounded good...maybe next time. 4 of us shared a couple of appetizers, soup, (served in... More

After a long day of day spa and wine tasting my wife and I got lazy. We decide to order food in to our hotel through menuclub.com from the Basil Thai. Being a Saturday night we got the food in about 1 hour and 15 minutes not bad. The food was hot and fresh. The food was very good, but... More

We stumbled on this place while strolling the centre of Paso Robles. After we went inside to have dinner, we were really surprised by the quality of the food. The staff were very good and really knew there dishes. And Al this came at a very fair price. Al in Al no regrets of any sort, just satisfaction.

Excellent thai food, fairly authentic (we've been to Thailand, so we can compare.) Quality ingredients, and they can adjust the "heat" to your preferences. Friendly service.

The food was very good here, as was the service. We ate here on a Saturday night; it was busy and lively but had a good atmosphere. We sat against the wall sitting at a table opposite each other and struck up a conversation with diners at the next table - maybe not a good night for a quiet, intimate... More

I live in the SF Bay Area, and we have some friends that we like to try different Thai restaurants with. Imagine my surprise when I found one of the best I've been to down in the small(ish) town of Paso Robles! The food was really good - nicely spicey but not overly hot. We actually had several appetizer dishes... More

Yes, seriously and it is good. We ended up here after doing some wine tasting and didn't fancy anything white table cloth or too pretentious. This place was busy but had room for 2 so we took a chance and were glad we did. Great chicken satay, then prawn rolls followed by tasty yellow curry and delicious jasmine rice. They... More

Basil offers great food and service for a decent price. We had the Param chicken, pineapple curry and fresh spring rolls. All were delicious. Its even conveniently located by the town square for an evening stroll after dinner.

Located at the park in downtown; new decorated interior; good service. And the food is good. 6 people spent less than $80. Good value.
