T'Basil - Ottawa

We ordered off the vegetarian menu and the food was delicious. Fresh and flavourful. Friendly staff. Traditional interior. Will be back!

I’ve been here several times and I always find that the food isn’t fresh or good quality. Meat is always full of cartilage and chewy.

Very plain restaurant, definitely not a fine dining experience. Table service left a lot to be desired (plate served half hanging off the edge of the table, or just handed directly to us to put down on the table ourselves. Food (chicken pad thai and spicy noodles with beef) was borderline passable; have definitely had way better at this price elsewhere. Portions were small. But the appetizer spring rolls were good, at least. Side note: don't have the Sake; worst sake I've ever had swill.

I decided to order from this restaurant because my usual spot had a long wait. Unfortunately, I should have waited because the pad Thai was very disappointing and the portions were small. It tasted and looked like Kraft dinner with ketchup, and the noodles were clumped together. The spring roll was strange because the rice paper was thick, making it feel more like a deep-fried wonton than a traditional spring roll. The mango salad wasn't terrible, but the basil was wilted and starting to turn brown. Overall, I would not recommend this place. You might as well eat at Thai Express and save $65.

It was our 3rd visit to this Thai restaurant and everything was delicious as usual. Great selection, great food and great service every time. Looking forward to going again.
