Thai Basil - Crossing

EXCELLENT THAI FOOD!!! Drunken noodles were great! Authentic Thai cuisine.

Delightful bright service and sumptious yellow curry were highlights of a recent night out on Newbury St. The takeout area was thriving and well-organized. The dining room was packed with satisfied customers. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood. I walked out well-prepared for a brisk evening stroll.

A little bit too subtle on the flavor for my taste. We got the spring rolls for apps and the green and red curries for entrees. All was good, but not great.

It was an okay place. The food, service came very fast. The quality was absolutely fine, just a shame that it’s underground, in the cellar. Felt a bit weird sitting in the restaurant without windows.

Since I came before 3 pm, I was able to order their lunch special. I ordered chicken pad Thai with complimentary pork dumplings (or spring rolls). My party members did not order the lunch special but enjoyed their soup, rice, and chicken curry. Good service, but then again we did not come at a busy time so we had a table ready. The atmosphere is nice, and the facts on the wall of different cooking ingredients and their uses is a nice touch.
