Love this place! The food is fresh, authentic and so very flavorful. I have been twice, and the service was exemplary on both occasions. There's a full bar in this stylish, chic establishment. We love the vibe!

Bday celebration so went here for din din. It's been a while since we been, forgot how yummmm their food was!! We just returned from Thailand a few mths before so the hubster is still feigning for their cuisine . Did get reservations, was a Friday night. Pretty busy. Our two servers were friendly although had a lil mix up w/ ordering so much that we didn't even finish our apps that the entrees were out. Kinda frustrating but we made it work. Lots of good food though and didn't make it go to waste - doggy bags!!! Will defitively return. And there are a few other locations in CLT and CHS, my 2 favorite cities!!!

My take out experience was pleasant. The green curry chicken was super flavorful. The wings were crispy and were a good size.

This was my first time visiting Basil and I wasn’t disappointed! The ambiance was inviting and the servers were pleasant. I will definitely visit again to try some other dishes. The basil rolls were nice, I did ask for a sweet and sour sauce as the original sauce was too hot for my taste buds The duck pho was delicious I would probably omit noodles next go around just for personal preference. The vegetable delight with chicken (optional) was cooked to perfection!

1st time eating here! I was very pleased! Our food was excellent! Pictured sweet and sour chicken! It was fresh, hot when served and full of flavor! Very clean, beautiful inside, staff is very nice and all working to serve customers. I will dine here again. Ate here again for the 5th time! Very consistent and very good to me. Appeals to my taste buds!

The Crispy Red Curry Duck dish was amazing! Highly recommend if you’re trying to figure out what your meal of choice should be. Also, the fried wontons (pictured) are phenomenal!!! Hands down the best ever!!
