“ Always a great experience with Basil Leaf. As someone of Thai descent, I obviously have the superior say on what qualifies as good Thai food and this place has it down. I usually get their pad see ew, but their drunken noodles and pad thai are amazing too. My girlfriend and I went last night, she ordered the roasted duck and I tried their green curry. Absolute flavortown. Also, really excellent service! The staff is always super friendly. Ill have to upload some photos the next time we eat there! The vibes are just really cozy, its a small place and has a really chill atmosphere. Over the years it has become one of our comfort spots. Theres also the added bonus of their generous portion sizes, which equate to leftovers we can enjoy the next day Sarcasm ”
