Sweet Basil is one of my favorite Albany restaurants. Honestly it should have only 5 star reviews and here is why: It is clean. Like immaculately clean. The tables, floors, everything. The owner is super attentive and cleans up any unused plates or things you are done with right away. It is amazing food. I usually get the crab rangoon, green curry or yellow curry and thai ice tea. The owner is very sweet and attentive. Lunch is often a busy time of you are going around a little before noon to 1pm. The summer seems to be often busier.

My go-to for Thai. We love the Kee Mao and Pad Thai but everything we have tried is fresh and delicious! The restaurant is quite small and cozy, delivery is always prompt and hot.

This is a very unassuming place but the food is off the charts delicious! The waitress was fantastic and even gave me 3 cuttings from her many pothos that she had growing in vases on each table. Highly recommend!!

I like the food at this small Thai restaurant. We got the flood "to-go". We had the lovely Thai curry puffs as a starter. For our main courses, we shared the tamarind duck, which was delicious, the kao soi noodles, which have a nice kick to them, and their eggplant dish. It has too much pork, I thought. I would have liked a lot more eggplant. Their sticky rice and mango was a nice version of the classic dessert. Their iced Thai ice tea is pretty typical. I recommend this place. If you want to eat there, make a reservation. Also despite being told we would have our food in 20 minutes, it look over 45 minutes before we got it. That made for a rather lengthy wait. This is not good.

Ordered takeout. The food was absolutely amazing. Very flavorful And cooked perfectly (no overcooked soggy veggies here!). Probably one of the best thai food takeout experiences we've had.

A small place with a huge menu and delicious food! The veggies in my curry seemed like they were just picked and lightly cooked so they still had some snap to them. Not soggy veggies that have been sitting around. The pad Thai was excellent and red curry was amazing. Tom Kha with rice noodles and shrimp was also a hit. We'll definitely try to get back here when we're in the Albany area.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Pad Thai at Sweet Basil, and hope to try it again soon. The atmosphere is very cozy and small, and the service was quick. Only note is that I wish there was a bit more chicken in my serving. Delicious!

Best Thai food in the capital region. Always fresh ingredients, great service, and perfectly prepared food. It may take a while for them to get your order because there are only two people working at any given time but the atmosphere is quiet and inviting and the food is definitely worth the wait!

Cozy spot, friendly service, and delicious food. Everything was perfect I wish we visited here sooner! It was on our list for quite some time. The cherry on top is that everything is affordable as well. Both our entrees were around $15 and each appetizer was under $10 and filled us up; resulting in leftovers. Highly recommend

Wonderful little spot. It's pretty small, so make sure to book in advance. The food was delicious, and the service was fantastic and quick. Pad Thai and the Mango Curry were fantastic, and so was the Crab Rangoon. The small downside was that the music was a little too loud, making conversation difficult. Other than that, highly recommended!

This is one of the better Thai restaurants I’ve ever been to. Staff are friendly and the business is family run. Offers very wide variation of Thai food, a long list of appetizers and all the classics of Thai gourmet, including Pad Thai, curries and fried rice, etc. If you want to explore something new I highly recommend Tom kha, the coconut soup and duck fried rice.

Off the beaten path but worth the journey. Just 10 minutes off Rt 87. Friendly staff, excellent food. Best Thai ice tea I've ever had. Large portions of tasty food. Lunch was delish! If in the area again, I will definitely come back. Porch dining was a plus.

Cozy restaurant but great food. We had been there for dinner. The dinner portion of one dish is a lot. I would say can easily serve 2. Tasty and delicious!

Very enjoyable dining experience. Sat outside, fast friendly service. Food was great and reasonably priced… esp bc they don’t serve alcohol. Def will go again.

Food is fresh and delicious. Huge portions even for lunch sizes. The pad thai and kee mao are delicious. Crab rangoon is crispy and creamy.

Awesome, quaint & cozy spot off Delaware Ave- great vegan options and vibrant Asian dishes. I loved the flavor of the Kao Soi noodle, I recommend ordering noodles over the seafood or meat (my boyfriend didn’t love the duck as much as my noodles) Small space with room for about 10 -15 dining customers at a time. No alcohol is served here- better to know this ahead of time! Great spot

Great food. Small space, limited amount of tables and chairs. It is best to go when they are not busy. Interior not entirely modern, but very clean.

Second time we've been here. As usual the shrimp rolls, coconut soup and crab cakes were awesome. I was hesitate to order the seafood combination....I asked what seafood is in it. She said Shrimp, squid,mussels and scallops. The price for the combo was $25. We ordered 2 different seafood combo entrees. Neither had shrimp. They brought us 2 each but in my sauce. I definitely expected a little more actual seafood and our other entree had one scallop. She didn't care. Make your own choice.

If there was a zero. I would have given zeros. The most annoying sever with no empathy. I ordered food and people came after me got their food and left before I got my order. No way to get updates on my food. When I discussed that with the server she told us we can have the food for free in the most condescending way you can imagine. We left immediately and I swear to god not only I am not setting a foot here again. I will make sure everyone I know does the same.

Walked in and we were very excited to order take out here as this was our first time. We waited 15 minutes before we could place our order. Due to the woman running the register and fixing the food! Finally ordered the food and the food came out quickly! As we were leaving I asked for two sets of chop sticks and the woman said they ran out and handed me one set. Get back to my friend's house and open the food what a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! The pineapple fried rice looked like it was not flavorful and I was correct! No season really, the presentation was horrible and my appetizers were dry! I will never give them another opportunity for me to waste another $35 again!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND EAT ELSEWHERE!!
