Delicious!!! I had the yellow curry stir fry and the altoona roll. Both soooooo good. Enough for 2 or 3 big meals, too.
Friendly prompt service. Clean space.
Cost was $30 with tip. For the quality and amount, that seemed right on.
Their menu has so many things I wanted to try. I can see this becoming a regular go to.
I asked for medium spice level and also feel like they delivered.
Thanks Cool Basil!
I really like having lunch at Cool Basil..food..service..prices are all spot on.
The diversity of their menu items alone is sure to please any Asian cuisine …
Great Thai food! My husband and I dined in for lunch. He had the special yellow curry (aka Khao soi) and I had Pad Thai (spice level 2) We also shared an app of fried pork pot stickers. All of the food was delicious and just the right …
The food was great. Lots of menu items to choose from and very diverse. Service was excellent. The Thai iced tea was very good and the honeydew boba tea was very good. Will visit again when in the area.

Went there today and the food was amazing! I was there a couple of years ago before covid and food was great. They are under new ownership but the food was excellent. This is a must try. Prices were excellent only 13 for an entree. I will …
Hands down my favorite place for sushi, Crab Rangoon and chicken fried rice! The portions are nice and big, the rice for the sushi is the perfect chewy (not mushy) texture AND the size of the sushi roll for the Des Moines Roll is HUGE! …
Good food plenty of options. If you like spiced food then you will enjoy this restaurant. Sauces are Coconut milk based. If you are not familiar I'd call it a mix between Chinese/Indian food. Delish.
Very good food and great service. I had the drunken noodles with tofu and no egg along with fried veggie pot stickers that were both delicious. They don't have a vegan menu, but you can modify lots of dishes by removing egg, fish sauce, and …
