My favorite spot for Thai in Brooklyn. The food is consistently delicious! The owner is friendly. 😊 The place, especially the bathroom, is clean (a sign the kitchen is clean, too). I go for lunch. Some of my favorite include: Cashew King, Spicy Basil Fried Rice, and Basil Eggplant. The shrimp is usually fresh and beef is tender. An excellent place overall!

The food was really good! The music was smooth! The lighting and the pillow over your seat was great! Overall, it is a nice spot for a date night in Brooklyn...

It's hard to find an eatery these days that has top notch service and food AND a quiet atmosphere. I love this neighborhood institution, glad it's back. Pictured here, my favorite Duck Salad.

Very beautiful and kind hearted owner. She is like an Aunt that you can always expect love from. Very calm atmosphere with classic asian culture ambience. This is my wife most favorite place to eat in Brooklyn itself. And I also will always recommend

Always a great time dining at Sweet Basil. Fresh, delish with a calm atmosphere. Staff is very attentive. My go to is a mix of their signature dish. Order the the Mango chicken and add shrimp - mouthwatering and delish, the plating is also exquisite. Also try the Panang shrimp. Come back and tell me what you think. 10 out of 10.

Sweet Basil is a very nice Thai food restaurant on Franklin avenue. Easy seating at the time we went. Very clean and cozy setting. The food is all traditional Thai food and very tasty. As usual you can indicate how spicy you want your food. The service was very quick for freshly cooked food. Very pleasant, freindly and attentive staff. Very clean place and loads of seating at the time we happened by. We had no issues getting seating for three for an early dinner at 5:30pm during the week. I would recommend Sweet Basil if you’re looking for Thai food! This is our new place for Thai food.

I cannot sty enough about this place. When I walked in I was immediately greeted by the owner. She looks familiar but I was not sure if it was the same place that had moved from a little further down and then to my surprise I realize it was when she told me. So those of you who are looking for Sweet Basil they just moved up the block a little bit please stop in and get your regular or try something different. The food is absolutely delicious. I had my regular drunken noodle and my girlfriend had Mongolian chicken. I was so upset that I did not order a second order for the next day because my taste buds were crying out can we have some more LOL. The food was perfectly seasoning as usual not too hot not too spicy not to anything. It was absolutely delicious. It was served piping hot from the kitchen. The atmosphere is very quaint and comfy. It's not a very large space I wish it was because I was thinking about having a party there for my retirement perhaps I can speak with the manager and we can work out something. Nonetheless if you want the taste of THAI served with friendly smile, great customer service, and lots of friendly staff members this is definitely the place. I will return again and again and again and again. I'm so glad I found you guys.

Visiting from Australia & found this restaurant, we came for lunch, ordered lunch special & they were super delicious. The next day we came back again for dinner, we ate Basil Beef & traditional Prawn fried rice, which were also super delicious. The price is pretty good & friendly customer service. Highly recommended.

I had the pleasure of dining at Sweet Basil, a delightful Thai food restaurant that left me craving for more. The moment I stepped inside, the cozy ambiance and warm hospitality immediately made me feel at home. As a fan of Thai cuisine, I was eager to try their signature dishes. Without a doubt, the Mango Chicken stole the show! The succulent pieces of tender chicken, perfectly paired with ripe and juicy mangoes, created a sensational burst of flavors in every bite. The blend of sweet and savory, enhanced by a luscious coconut milk-based sauce, was simply divine. It was a symphony of tastes that danced on my palate, and I couldn't get enough of it. Equally impressive was their Green Curry, a classic Thai favorite. The aromatic blend of herbs and spices in the velvety green curry sauce was spot-on. The tender chunks of meat and crisp vegetables soaked up the rich flavors, creating a comforting and satisfying dish. Paired with fragrant jasmine rice, it was a culinary experience that transported me to the heart of Thailand. The service at Sweet Basil was impeccable. The staff was attentive and eager to offer recommendations based on my preferences, ensuring that every dish was tailored to my taste. They also catered to dietary preferences, making it a welcoming place for everyone. All in all, Sweet Basil surpassed my expectations, and it has become my go-to Thai food restaurant. If you're a fan of Thai cuisine or looking to explore new flavors, I highly recommend indulging in their Mango Chicken and Green Curry. Your taste buds will thank you, and you'll find yourself returning for more of their delectable offerings. Sweet Basil truly captures the essence of Thai cuisine, and it's a restaurant that is sure to leave you with unforgettable memories of mouthwatering delights.

Excellent food! Excellent service! Everything was amazing and the staff were friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this place. I loved the calamari and mango chicken. The mango chicken comes is delicious and comes with actual mango slices. The green curry with shrimp was also very good. The tempura ice cream with vanilla and green tea ice cream was also amazing. We’ll be back again soon!

Food is good but delivery man keeps asking for tip after you pay through DoorDash. PLEASE stop telling him to do that.

I remember the quality and taste of Sweet Basil's food as being good. It had been some time since my last visit, and I was looking forward to dining. Unfortunately, this is not the experience I encountered during last weeks visit. Upon entering the restaurant, a wait person yelled from the opposite end of the store, if I was there to stay, or for take out! Completely, shocked. I replied softly and not within her earshot (to emphasize how loud she was speaking) to please give me a moment to approach her. Noting that we are not in a barn. Another worker scolded her and communicated something and took over. But not before smiling, posing the same question, and in a lowered tone. I ordered takeout. The food was rather bland, and the whole experience, much to my regret, was a wash.
