Bangin' Basil

If you like Thai food and its flavors, place an order here. I love great Thai food, and this restaurant serves it, plus new dishes I’ve never eaten before. I have lived in West Hollywood for almost a decade and was excited to find this spot — just reading the menu alone, I could already practically taste the food and had to try it. If you haven’t experienced that, just read their menu and you’ll know what I mean. You won’t find a greasy noodle dish or the same bland red curry you’ve had at other Thai spots around the city. The food here is clearly prepared by people who love flavor, and have found a way to both put a new spin on traditional Thai dishes and also bring Thai flavors to more American style foods. They do both, it smells amazing but tastes better, and it’s perfect for takeout. When I arrived within 10 minutes of placing an order, the food was hot and ready to go. The basil burger was so good, I might walk back tonight and get another. I understand that a “burger” might not strike you as Thai food, but just go and read the menu already! Update: I ordered from here again last night, and the food was even better than last time. The green curry with tofu is really good.
