Spring Basil

Excellent food ! Good Asian mix… had the the green curry thai dish. .very fresh and perfect amount of spice… service very good and prices for the amount of food is very reasonable. I would recommend this Asian fusion establishment to the local traffic.

This is a great place to dine in or take out. We have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed! The food is delicious, the staff are all friendly and the ambiance is warm and cozy. It’s worth the drive to Alliston!

Delicious green curry but a bit more spicy than the standard Thai restaurants in Toronto. The staff were really friendly and cute, they seem to love their jobs. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in Allison.

Well, we certainly didn’t have the negative experience of Jeff P. Our first time there, we were blown away at the awesome soups, especially the won ton soup. We’ve had won ton soup in numerous Asian restaurants but we really love the flavouring in this one and I like that the won tons are not a soggy mess like many other restaurants. One of my top five Asian restaurants to eat in is Swatow’s in Chinatown (Toronto) so the food we have had here, several times now, is very good in comparison. We’ve had a variety of dishes and all, so far, have been great. The best part is that they do not use MSG which I have grave reactions to.
Service can be a bit slow and I agree that the «little Vietnamese girl» chats too much on her own personal stuff and has strong opinions of her own. I doubt she means it to be criticizing, it’s just her way as you can tell she’s not very professional in her server skills but let’s remember that Alliston is a small town, folk are going to be much more laid back and this is a family run business.
So far, no complaints on this place.

My god, this place is brutal. I don’t even have high standards but I came here and it was just bad all over. The place looks nice though. But food wasn’t overly impressive, prices aren’t bad but serving size is actually similar to the sizes you would see in Vietnam (small) which means for what you get, it’s expensive. Wasn’t too impressed with the server either. Little Vietnamese girl who likes to talk… a lot. And not about service or how she can help make our experience more enjoyable, mostly about how high school is going for her and criticizing me for not speaking Vietnamese with the right accent.
First, I just want to say I am of Vietnamese descent, love phở and this place is Vietnamese run. I’ve experienced a lot of Phở but this place takes the cake for being lazy. I got the Phở dac biet for $ 7.99 and all it had in there was the broth, noodles, beef and beef balls. This was it. It wasn’t overly large either and I figure if you’re going to be that lazy about it, I better be getting a lot or it better taste spectacular (it did not). Also, for me, the broth has a sweetness too it that I’m just not a fan of.
Next was the Spicy Korean noodles. Ramen noodles cooked first, then stir fried with small traces of kimchi, small pieces of sweet red peppers, onion and garlic, egg, spices and a few pieces of pork. It was odd and my Korean girlfriend said the only thing that made this some what Korean was the kimchi. Not spicy at all and super oily. Again, not impressed.
This place is just brutal. Some of my friends say they make decent Pad Thai there but I just don’t feel like giving them another chance. I have been here 4 times now and that’s the last straw for me. Had their tonkatsu before and it was dry on the inside, their breading was burnt (or they use really darkened panko or whatever breading) and the sauce tasted like it was out of the bottle and refrigerated. Thumbs down. If you are ever in the area and want phở, send me a message, it may take a bit longer but I guarantee I can make a much better bowl. Any other Asian fare? Alliston has a few, all of which are much better than this place.
