Little Basil

The first time I ordered from Little Basil, I got the Pad Thai. I was disappointed b/c it was kind of bland, but I decided to try them again with another dish. I've gotten their Singapore noodles and Tom Kha soup more than once, and they got it perfect when I just put "spicy" in the comment box. Their portions are really good and prices too! Haven't eaten in yet, but it looks like a great place to have dinner. Love this place!

After trying most Thai places around here, Little Basil is definitely the best Thai food in Murray Hill. Crispy Salmon dish is very tasty, Pad Siew Chicken is great, Duck spring rolls, Shumai, Tom Yum soup, all great dishes.

I heart this place! When I think thai, I think Little Basil:) Dinner always comes quick and hot, and is exactly what I crave when I'm in the mood for thai food. I usually order the chicken pad thai, but have had a few other items from the menu and am never disappointed. The pad thai always comes with just the right amount of bean sprouts, tofu and meat, and they always remember the lime, very important. I've also been in the restaurant, which is cozy and cute, nice atmosphere.

This place has amazing staff! I'm intolerant to complex carbs, thus sugar. I placed a delivery order and asked to avoid sugar in my dishes. They rang me 5 mins later to tell me that sugar could not be avoided in one of the dishes I picked and offered to replace it for the same price. AMAZING how respectful they are of people's dietary needs. I can imagine that some other restaurant would just deliver the order and not say a word. THANK YOU Little Basil!

Solid neighborhood Thai - the pad thai with extra spice is awesome but nothing is as good as the spicy basil vegetarian duck

The Kee Mao noodles were much different than those I've gotten elsewhere - they had a little less sauce and I didn't need a nap afterwards. Very tasty but not as awesome as the papaya salad, which was a refreshing end for my meal.

As a Thai food aficionado, I'm always on the lookout for the best, and quickest, Thai food. Thanks to a Living Social deal (go figure!), I found this gem only a block from my house, with a delivery time of under 15 minutes. Unlike most places with that short of an estimate, they actually cook your food when you order it, not in anticipation of an order. The food is high quality, but reasonably priced, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is nice, but comfortable. Order their white sangria-- $10 for almost two glasses, full of freshly cut fruit. Nomnomnom

Favorite local place to order thai food. Consistently always quality food and exactly what we ordered. Quick delivery and the food always arrives hot.

First off, they said 15-30 minutes for delivery, I waited just over an hour (not at lunch time). The spring rolls were soggy and gross and worst of all, awful Pad See Ew.... I found a piece of plastic or something in the unnappetizing mess that was my meal, had to pull it out of my mouth and obviously that ended that. Bland and tasteless to begin with. Avoid, I sure won't order from there again.
