A hidden gem in my opinion - small space with amazing service and food. I had the coconut curry and my wife the spicy noodles. I also had a fresh coconut... I asked about drinks and the waitress seemed really excited about the coconut so I just went for it. I expected coconut water but was presented with a whole coconut. Thats almost a meal by itself! Theres definitely some depth to the fresh liquid that you dont get from store bought coconut water.

Update..5.5.2023.I have to say this is a memorable dining experience. After this place is trying to open for over 2 years during that pandemic, this family puts out tasty pan asian dishes that are Thai and Vietnamese infused. I definitely recommend sit down meals here. Take out really anywhere loses its texture and the care thats put into each dish. As you can see from the food we ordered, it was so well prepared and delicious. The owners take pride in serving you personally and coming to visit your table. The wait staff is service oriented. I definitely recommend you ask them for their favorite dishes or do like we did and try a little bit of everything. The ambience is modern and clean. Belly up to the well stocked bar. Great drinks! You might have to wait a little bit if the restaurant is full, but its worth the wait.

We are passing through and wanted a delicious takeout option for the night. So glad we found Basil Thai… they are incredibly kind and you can tell they take pride in their meals. We ordered Pad Thai and the Bun Combo - delicious. Highly recommend! If we lived here we’d order from them regularly.

Small Thai restaurant- clean and well maintained. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was flavorful and tasty - and the prices were fair.

Food was just okay for Thai food. Watery sauces. Unimpressive and not as flavorful as one would expect. Noodle wrapped shrimp is just to much show and not easy to eat. Might make for a romantic appetizer.

I lived in thailand for 4 months a while back.This is 2 minutes from my home & I would LOVE to rate highly, however. I just had potentially the worst Pad Thai I have ever had from here. The chicken was all gristle, the flavor was insanely bland. The price point is higher than a kite. (Need I say more)The coachella valley doesnt have any good thai food. (My thai is just as bad & expensive)Better luck with El Ranchito or something down the street. This place is not good. I will try again in the future hoping this may encourage better spicing & effort in such an expensive price bracket. For now this gets a 1 star. If any 5* ratings were anything like my meal, the folks rating have clearly never had authentic Thai food before. This is overpriced, bland & overpriced from my experience.

The food was authentic Thai food. Took me back to Bangkok. Excellent customer service, even had my favorite beer, Chang. Finally we have good Thai food in the cove. The restaurant itself is cosy, but nicely decorated. Casual atmosphere. Highly recommend.

First time at Basil Thai. Shared a shrimp appetizer. It was delicious! I ordered the orange chicken, it was the best I have ever eaten. My husband had the cashew chicken. Its a very intimate setting. Will return to try other dishes.

Small Thai restaurant tucked away in the cove by La Quinta Village. if you get a change make some time to this place. Its some of the best Thai food I have had in the valley. Great menu, and will spice it to your liking/ tolerance. Generious portions and delicious tasting. Id highly recommend.
