Thai Basil Lindenhurst

Came here for a late lunch on a Saturday and we were sat right away. The place is very clean and tidy, but nothing exceptional on the eyes in terms of ambiance. The real star of the show is definitely their lunch specials though. We ordered the Pad Thai and the Pepper Noodles, both with chicken. A perfect sized portion for lunch that comes with a drink and is only about ten bucks a person is about one of the best deals that you can find around these days. Deal proposition aside, the food is also delicious, I was craving a second bowl of noodles after the first and already had me thinking about what I was going to order the next time I come back. Would have liked if the waitress checked in on us a little bit more, especially since we were the only two in the place at the time! But we were still well taken care of at the end of the day and she was very polite. Parking can be a little tricky being right on Wellwood, you can park along the street, but I'd recommend veering off to the side streets for one of the municipal lots or parking just on a less busy street.

My friend was in the mood for an Indian, chicken and rice dish. There's no Indian restaurants near us so I suggested we find a Thai place. We decided on Thai Basil Lindenhurst. Food: We ordered the curry samosas, and vegetables chicken dumplings as an appetizer. The chicken and vegetable dumplings were delicious. The veggies gave them a nice crunch and the chicken was seasoned well. The coating on the samosas was too airy. You could tell they weren't homemade. The filling was lacking potato. The samosas were the only food i wasn't crazy about. I ordered the Garlic Chicken entree. The spice was perfect. Decent amount of chicken. I don't like mushrooms, but whatever they did to cook them dried them out a bit and made them slightly chewy, but in a good way. I enjoyed them. A lot of bamboo shoots. I mixed my rice in and it made it even better. Service: The service was okay. The staff was friendly. Food came out fast and correct, but we had to call someone over for a water refill and for the check. If we didn't we would've been there a while. Otherwise, no issues. Atmosphere: The restaurant was quiet, but kinda boring. There's a lot of space and it looks clean. Its just kinda empty. They could do more to decorate and it would go a long way. Overall, I definitely want to try more dishes and I'm looking forward to coming back

Some people fight to survive, I fight to find & eat really good food!! That's why they call this place Thai Basil kid!!! I love basil & everything else that comes with Thai cusine!!

I ordered uber eats from this place. I am highly disappointed. I ordered the Tom Yam Goong soup & Thai pepper steak. The soup description stated there would be shrimp. Upon receiving this item, I only had 1 shrimp & it was super oily. Wow I did not realize they would be this stingy. The pepper steak contained chewy pieces of steak. I also requested utensils & neither utensils or napkins were present. I was not happy with this order & will not order again. Only pro was the food arrived hot so 2 stars will be given for that.

Always love getting a bento box takeout. And to add a refreshing chicken coconut soup. Have also enjoyed several meals inside.
