Basil Garden Palm City

Pretty average stuff here nothing really stood out we had spring rolls, curry puffs, chicken wings, coconut soup, fried rice and one other dish. Average at best. Service was good and they are very friendly.

TL;DR: Great service, decent food, need to tell them if you’d like it spicy, try the fried banana.
The fourth star is essentially for the attentive service and how sweet, accommodating and warm the staff here are. They’re clearly earnest people who value the business you give them: although they were short-​staffed and close to a full-​house, I didn’t find myself miffed at the service or speed thereof.
Additionally, the food was fairly good. Of our soups, the Tom Kha was a clear winner, whilst the Tom Yum wasn’t too bad either. The Tofu Namsad salad was excellent and tangy. The green curry and spicy basil were good, but nothing I’d write home about personally– although it is fair to note here that my standards for Thai food are very high. For dessert, we had the fried banana, which was absolutely fabulous. I’m not a big fan of big chunky pieces and ice cream; so their thin, not-​too-​sweet and well crisped version with a light milk-​based dipping sauce was exactly what I wanted. I had a Thai iced tea which was ludicrously tall (not complaining) and could have done with a bendy straw (especially for vertically challenged people like me).
I will advise anyone who likes their food spicy to note that the spice scale here is not the same one Thai places in NYC use. I’d suggest ordering a few notches higher than you would typically if you’re not local and looking for hot food. That said, inadvertent eavesdropping revealed that most of the Caucasian guests tonight thought what I found totally not-​spicy was pretty well-​seasoned, so use your own discretion.

I’m going to start by saying that the woman and the staff there are super nice, and I would give them another try. This was my first time there, and I really wish that I could say that I loved it. It was not great, but it was good. I had the Pad Thai with duck and I wish that I had not done that and instead had it with chicken. I don’t know that the duck was fresh. The Pad Thai just okay, it was missing something or wasn’t fresh. I don’t know, maybe just not my flavoring. I also had the green curry with chicken. The green curry was good. I actually liked the curry flavor and it had plenty of chicken, red bell peppers, bamboo, and peas. I had it with some brown rice and would definitely have it again. I wish they had yellow curry. All in all I would say that it is worth giving it a try.
