My girlfriend and I have two favorite dishes that we order whenever we eat thai food: yellow curry with tofu, and pad thai with tofu. When we moved to Chico, we wanted to find a thai restaurant that was comparable to our favorite, The Blue Orchid in Lincoln, Nebraska. After reading a few of the local reviews, we decided to make Thai Basil (formerly Thai House) our first try. We began with our favorite appetizers, spring rolls and fried tofu, then added our favorite entrees as mentioned earlier. Unfortunately, the fried tofu did not live up to our standards, but the spring rolls did. As far as the entrees go, they were not exactly the same as we had been used to, but they were close enough--excellent aroma and equally satisfying flavor. We have been back to Thai Basil a few times in the last five months and have also tried their Thai Fried Rice. We think it may be the best vegetable fried rice we have ever tasted. We are hoping to venture out and sample other dishes, but we love the yellow curry and pad thai so much that we find it hard to pass them up to explore other options. As far as service goes, we were very impressed. It is very quick. In fact, it beats out Blue Orchid by far in that category. The environment isnt great, but its okay. The downtown area is a great location, but a little remodeling on the inside would make it perfect.

After visiting Thailand this past summer (08) I became addicted to the thai spices. After returning I knew I had to find somewhere to fulfill my tastebuds. Thai Basil by far exceeded all my expectations. It is true authentic thai that keeps me coming back. The staff is exceptional! They now have both my boyfriend and my orders memorized. Pad-se-ew and Yellow Curry both medium with chicken! I dont believe you could order anything at Thai Basil and go wrong. I strongly recommend it to Thai lovers and anyone up for trying something new. Oh and their lunch menu totally fits any college students budget yet very filling with large portions! (perfect leftovers)

Im from the bay area and Ive also lived in portland Oregon and this is one of the best thai places Ive been too. The red curry is amazing and so is the pad thai and their signature thai basil dish. If you like spicy I recommend thai hot! The staff is friendly and the food is made quick and of great quality. I eat here once a week. The best thai food in Chico, even better than cocodine in my opinion which is a popular place in Chico.

We appreciate this place. Some of the staff are nice, and the others are at least efficient. Tasty food and low "mood lighting." The only downside is having to breathe in Windex throughout your entire meal, as they seem to clean the entire place with it..

I went here specifically for some Tom Yum (Thai Hot and Sour Soup). The broth was perfect, but they could include more meat for the price. Also, I dont like the crimini mushrooms. What happened to the ones all the Thai places used to use?

Friendly and nice staff that always have a smile. At least on the times I have dined here. Fresh food and great Pho that is served hot. A good place to get Pho. Decor is nice but the place looks like it needs a little renovation.

Id been craving Thai food since coming back from Thailand and this place did the trick. My mom and I experienced excellent and friendly service from all of the staff. I got the vegetarian pad Thai.

The BEST Thai coconut soup in the world! The BEST Yellow curry in the world! Maybe I need to travel more, but everywhere I go this is what I compare all the rest to. So far Thai Basil is my fave!

It is so good i get it to go at least once a week. You can pick the spicy level so if you a baby it is still good. The best is spicy fried rice. It costs a little bit, but it is so worth it!!

I love their food here and my sister and I have made it a tradition to meet up here every year with some trips in-between. The fried sweet potatoes are to die for.

Was not satisfied with the curry, too many other good curry options in town to try again. Will return to try something else in the future

Excellent food, good service, although their limes in their water always taste funny. Regardless, excellent Thai.
