A: "Honey I Shrunk the Lunch Specials and the Restaurant, too!" is more apropos of a name for Thai Basil. Now don't get me wrong, I like Thai Basil. The food is decent and the interior is nice, but the tables/diners seem to be squished elbow-to-elbow New York style. Spartan, but slightly upscale, this restaurant ALWAYS seems to have a wait. The yellow curry here is my favorite with a delicious balance of coconut, spice, carrots chicken and potatoes. I can't ever seem to get enough, and I really mean that. The portions here are small, and while lunch portions are expectedly small, portions elsewhere (at Chanpen Thai, for example) are larger and less expensive. Elsewhere the Thai BBQ chicken comes with 1/2 a chicken, but at Thai Basil they give you three lonely strips like cheapos! The massaman curry and pad thai are pretty good too, but I feel they're just OK. I've had better. Service is hit or miss here. One thing that's consistent: they always seem to be understaffed. Once when I was dining alone (at a 4-person table) they had the nerve to ask me to move while in the middle of eating, to a 2-person table. To me, Thai Basil is style over substance. Not impressed. Next.
Q: negative

A: Been here once before and couldn't remember what my opinion was...which is rare for me. Was in the area and on the way to see my niece so went in and bought one for her one for myself. 2 stars because the actual cake was decent on both cupcakes I got. The pretty princess (strawberry) and the wedding cake (vanilla). The icing however, is served at an ungodly amount. It is 3 - 4 inches high on every single cupcake in there and you can actually take it off entirely. I went to bite the corner and the entire bouffant of icing came on; clean break alone the bottom no icing left on cake - seemed like they almost pipe it on wax paper and slap it on. A little aggressive and a lot unnecessary. 3.50 for a cupcake? I'm from NYC and lived in Miami for 10 years. That can fly there, where people are making more, spending more and getting better quality for their $4 cupcakes. Gigs you have a little work to do before the outrageous price of your cupcakes is justified. Now for the real work, YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AWFUL. AWFUL. AWFUL. Whoever owns this place needs to invest in hiring adults rather than rude bratty uninterested teenage kids if they are going to leave their business unattended. I have dealt with bad service but this was beyond. My original plan was to get a box of a couple cupcakes since my sister who is 9 months pregnant and brother in law also love cupcakes and we love to try them from all over town and compare flavors. The nasty attitude on the long blonde haired puss face that refused to tell me her name cost the owner the rest of the cupcakes I would have bought and any chance of me ever going back. They give you dirty looks, get annoyed when you ask a question like you're wasting their time, they don't smile or say hello or anything else for that matter. Who needs that ?? If you know your cupcakes in town you know there are a ton of great cupcakes around. And most don't cost as much! I'd rather spend the 20 mins driving to Fort Mill to Crazed Cupcakery! Owner- word to the wise. When you have nice, mature, professional ADULTS working here I may come back.
Problem: What would be an example of an positive (OPTIONS:

Answer: I spend far too much time at this restaurant! The soups are amazing - and although the place is always busy, the service is great. My friend has the soups with the tendons etc (and loves it), but the rare beef is amazing. Even their desserts are nice. Nothing pretentious- just delicious pho lien.

output: This was my second time coming to this restaurant. It's close enough to my work so I hoping it would be my go to spot for Mexican food. But I will continue looking since it left a bad taste in my mouth. The first time I went I ordered the Burrotote (Big Burrito) it's a joke. its more of a large taco. Besides the false advertisement its flavor was bland especially since it has iceberg lettuce. I gave them another chance since it's supposed to be known for their Tortas anyway. I ordered the cochinita pibil Torta. I ordered it but the problem was that I was left waiting for my food for 25 minutes and when I went and asked the cook for my sandwich he said someone else had taken it. I went up to the counter where I ordered and the lady at the front ignored me. So I walk back to the cook and asked him to make it to go. THe torta was good, I have to admit, but I was dissapointed by the whole experience. Hey if you want to take your chance at this restaurant go ahead but why do it since Reyes de la Torta is just south of the street from them.

This review comes at least six months after two visits; one in which I was disappointed and the second, with which I was seriously pissed. I can't reasonably dispute the positive reviews since I can't imagine anyone bothering to promote a place they don't actually like and yet, and not for the first time, my experiences here were worlds away from you more fortunate Yelpers. Yes, the service was fast and friendly but at a price I'm no longer willing to pay. Visit 1: I picked the budget friendly option of a lunch special to go of beef w/ red curry. At home, sipping a bit of the curry, I was treated to a complimentary burst of flavors that were very palate friendly. I thought I'd gotten lucky (only food-wise, can we talk?) and would be able to chalk up a new go-to Thai place, but as I spooned the dish over the rice and forked my way through the meal I became increasingly aware of a mounting saltiness that became relentless in the end. I know that people share a varied tolerance for salt; some just a little and some can't get enough. I can happily crunch through a half bag of salt and vinegar chips so I'm not exactly a salt sissy. But obviously too much of it in an otherwise tasty concoction just makes it a mess not worth serving. That's my vote on this one. Plus, the egg roll was ridiculous. I didn't expect it crisp after the ride home but neither did I imagine the indestructable toughness I bit into. After a major effort to get the first bite down I realized that the dough wrap was at least twice the thickness of any roll I've EVER had and that I found so little filling of any kind that I had to check it out. Surgery STAT revealed contents of precisely two (2) bean sprouts and one (1) slender shred of cabbage. Period. That's it. In the trash. That was my budget lunch. Disappointing, but not bad enough to write them off just yet. Visit 2: Thought I'd take a chance and order what I really wanted instead of another 'test' meal. In trying to recreate a truly great experience in the past from a place no longer around, I ordered Pineapple Curry With Roasted Duck And Tomato from their list of 'Specialties' Sound good? Well, the curry WAS good; not too salty this time. But back home, I soon realized that my parachute had failed to open: picture no more than a dozen slivers of duck, each the size of two toothpics side by side and 3/4 as long. Maybe a quarter OUNCE of meat? Maybe not even.. Envision similar sized bits of slimy skin floating around independently, indicating a minimum of four days in the pot, as did the rest of the ingredients. Non-ripe tomatoes. In July. In Arizona. Add to this the fact that the kitchen (conspicuously) added what amounted to literally FIVE times the canned pineapple (why ever bother with fresh when you're just using it as a filler anyway?) that a dish this size can realistically support. So that was my 4 minute, 'from order to door', 'Specialty' from Krua for 'only' $15.25 inc. tax. I'm absolutely certain they wouldn't have dared serving this 'bottom of the pot' debacle to a sit-down customer without expecting to see it turned into 'instant wall art' but gambled that a $15 take away probably wouldn't come back to call them out on this. I'm doing that here. No Mercy; and never again.
