Terrible food! I got food poisoning, DON’T go here. I ordered the orange chicken and was sick for x3 days. It cost me over $1000 to get better and call in a doctor. Ruined my holiday! Please don’t go here. The doctor confirmed I had food poisoning. My husband also didn’t like his food either. Very very disappointed.

Food is not tasty.It took about 30 minutes to get 2 dishes of Pad Thai that we asked to exchange for fish instead of as in the menu with chicken, It was hard and dry, but the charge was doubled.We also asked a curry dish.

Service was phenomenal, food came out fast and tasted authentic, and would definitely come back. Im not from around the desert and thought it would be hard to find good Thai food here, but this restaurant really surprised me. I would say its even better than some of the top Thai restaurants in Los Angeles and Orange counties.

Wow just sat down for lunch. Oh my, what a delicious experience. Had the Kapow Kai with chicken and basil eggplant. Both dishes were top notch. Excellent service made the experience even better. Ill add photos on the next visit.

Just wow…. We got the shrimp coconut curry and pad Thai with beef and fried rice…. Food was just perfect. Balanced flavors, fresh ingredients… I wish I lived closer to here to come here for lunch…

This place knows you want delicious fresh amazing food and that is precisely what is served. Absolutely top food prep and quality in the desert, if youre looking for the BEST thai food, here it is. Expect a perfect blend of flavors, perfectly prepared noodles and soups etc... this place goes above and beyond my expectations. All employees know all to know about spice too so if youre a spice fan, prepare to enjoy yourself. See my photo of the ultra spelicey fish sauce which had salty soaked peppers with ultra heat... along with a 4 pepper sauce platter to add to your food as desired. Outstandingly fresh brewed thai tea with or without creamer... I cant say enough good things about this place.Pad Thai: perfection. Plenty of protein, not unproportionate. See my photos for the curry and hot sour soup as well, all really high level flavorful deliciousness. ENJOY

We came for lunch, ordered an Asian eggplant with beef, and a yellow curry chicken, added side soup. All are delicious, highly recommended.

Never really disappointed for whatever I ordered. Picture is Spicy Noodle with tofu. Not my favorite but still good. Great services as well!

One of the best Vietnamese food Ive ever eaten!! And doubles in bonus points with Thai cuisine 😍 salad rolls were a bit messy as ends werent rolled in but had a healthy amount of mint - YUM! The seasoning on the tofu was exceptional (I could live off of it!)

We enjoyed lunch at this place. The food was great. You won’t be disappointed. Will definitely visit during our next visit to Rancho Mirage area. Added benefit is that there are some nice hiking places behind the mall area where Le Basil is located.

Looking for great Thai food? This restaurant is a must-visit! The Tom Ka Kai soup is a standout dish, with a perfect blend of tangy and savory flavors that will warm you up. The fried tofu Vietnamese rolls are a great appetizer, and dont miss the orange chicken or the Bo Lu Lac, a flavorful Vietnamese-style beef dish thats brought out on a hot skillet. The portions are generous, and the service is friendly and attentive. Highly recommended for any Thai or Vietnamese food lover!

Not good— about 3 pieces of pre-cooked chicken and was like rubber. I said I didn’t care for it and portion to small and waitress said nothing—- not going back.

The worst. Wife got sick/food poisoning from the chicken. This was confirmed by a doctor. Now she’s bed bound. Vacation ruined.

Ordered an appetizer togo that took almost 40 minutes. What made the whole situation worse is the couple sitting next to me at the bar ordered two entrees at about the same time which came out a good 10 to 15 minutes before my appetizer! WTH? If you forgot to put my order in, at least let me know or offer me a drink while I wait 40 minutes for a togo appetizer order.The beef wrapped with grape leaves was actually quite tasty. The dipping sauce was slightly bland but Im used to authentic food in Little Saigon. The food here competes but the service was horrible.

We ordered seafood soup for 20.95, which came with mussels and shrimp. It was pretty bland and a bit hard to scoop with a laddle because of the serving bowl it came in. We also ordered pineapple fried rice which was 22.95. On their menu is says it is serve with a pineapple bowl. It was served on a regular plate. The portion size was small and probably had four chunks of pineapple. The entrees were served first before the soup and salad. We were almost done with entrees by the time the soup and salad came out.Service can also be better. The server did not ask how we were doing or how the food was. He was just dropping off or orders to our table. I don’t think we will be back

I frequent Vietnamese restaurants. I ordered Bun Thit Nuong, rice noodles with pork. I added shrimp for an extra charge, thinking I would get the very common dish Bun Tom Thit Nuong, cold rice noodles with shrimp and pork. I was very surprised to find the pork missing. With only shrimp, the dish was not really satisfying.

Authentic thai food with the freshest ingredients. so nice to eat at a restaurant again, feels normal, almost. with the lack of business the service was amazing.

This appears to be a family owned restaurant with very friendly staff. We went for dinner during a busy evening and were told that we can have a table in 15 mins. Even though two tables emptied, it took many more minutes and some prodding for someone to actually clean and seat us. We placed an order immediately before the person who seated us went away. It took 15+ minutes to get water. Food arrived much later. We had the vegetarian spring rolls, panang curry and green curry. The spring rolls were excellent. The panang curry was good but the green curry was a bit runny. Overall above average food but service can be more prompt.

I couldnt really eat much off the menu because or food allergies but let me tell you! The orange chicken was a delight. I believe they make the sauce for each order because it was so hot and fress that the extra sauce i had on the plate i just smothered my white rice into it. I tasted like a blend of sweet and sour sauce and a zesty orange flavor.

Review №23

I used to really like this place, but since then Ive been to Thailand. I had panang curry, and it was like a peanut sauce. Not very authentic.

Food was ok at best. ate it only cause I was hungry 😞 I had came in around 2. When I was still eating someone else came and asked if they had the lunch special and waiter said no, it was only on weekends, another man came out and told that Person they could do the lunch special, but when it came time for me to pay, I paid full price and wasn’t given the lunch special like the person that came 20 mins after did. Lol I was shook . I guess they just pick and choose who can get it? oh well, definitely expected a little more for the price. Was kinda left to myself while everyone else was being attended to. Wasn’t offered water and my food came out before the Thai tea ever came. Thai tea was just thrown together. Paid $26.05 for pad Thai and a Thai tea. Definitely was not worth it. Especially when the person that came after me was given the lunch special price. a little upsetting but it’s fine.

Just generally not good. “World famous” pad Thai was exceptionally dry noodles. Chef was apparently too tired to cut eggplant up for curry.

I’ve lived in cities all over the world, and I have visited many, many other cities - multiple times. And I’ve had Thai food in essentially all of them.This is probably the best Thai food I’ve had, and I would never make that comment lightly. What’s more, the food we had was home delivered. Extraordinarily good! Congratulations to this family run restaurant! Keep doing what you’re doing.

The food was very delicious and the staff was friendly. I would recommend for a light lunch or dinner spot.

Review №28

2018-05-04 03:56:24

I liked it. Good food good ambiance. I think Thai places vary quite a bit in terms of flavor but I liked it. A little on the sweet side here.

Review №29

2022-04-08 02:53:55

Probably the worst bowl of Pho Ive ever had. The broth lacked flavor and tasted like it came out of a can. I added a star for my my wifes chicken dish which was good but way overpriced. Service was friendly, however the wait time for our food in a nearly empty restaurant was excessive.

Review №30

2022-12-06 01:56:29

We ordered panang curry with chicken and with beef. Somehow the chicken one was pretty tasteless. Some shrimp in Spring rolls appetizer was undercooked. And it was pretty expensive. Not impressed.

Some of the best Thai and Vietnamese food in our valley. It can get busy though during high season. Be patient!

Food here was good, a small menu, but heard of this place from family member, this was a good place to eat!Had the Asian eggplant with tofu. It was good, I liked it!Very nice place inside too!

Review №33

2021-06-29 04:16:38

Seriously a very good experience. Staff was perfect. What I mean is the following…They politely checked on me while I was on the phone. Provided an appropriate amount of time for me to read the menu.When I stressed I had not been here before and was not sure what to choose, I was greeted with a few questions and provided options.Food was served promptly, however not too fast after my order as to say, we made your meal fresh not provide you something that was already prepared.Portion was healthy but no need for a box.It was closing time and I did not feel the pressure to leave. I didn’t even realize it was closing time actually.In my opinion one of my best nonchalant, accidental experiences I’ve had at a restaurant. I have spent the night in 46 states and 7 countries and I will be back here.

The food here is always delicious and fresh. It didnt seem too crowded for a Saturday night but they were short staffed(as is most places these days) but they did their best to make sure we were taken care of with friendly smiles.You cant go wrong with anything you order.

Fresh Rolls and Panang Chicken. If you like peanut, which I do, then this is a great place. Reasonable prices. Lunch menu. Very nice decor.

Missed this restaurant so much. Been away 2 years. Filled up on appetizers and delicious asparagus and lobster soup. Fresh egg rolls, stuffed chicken legs, etc. Plum wine too. Next time I want one of their Curry entrees, sooo good .Loved the decor and the neighborly vibes

Amazing. I had the spicy green curry and tempura vegetables. I had to restrain myself from licking the plate clean. Excellent service, decent prices and great atmosphere. This is my new favorite asian spot in the desertt

Fantastic place. Lovely ambience. Impeccably service. Incredible food. We split the Money Bag appetizer. It was delicious and light, crispy bag shaped filled with diced chicken and carrots. My husband got spicy chicken and loved it. I got the vermicelli noodles with beef and lemon. So much detail put into the food and flavors. My new favorite restaurant in Palm Springs.

2021-03-05 03:45:29

It has been quite awhile since I have had salmon this tender and finely seasoned. An excellent choice for anyone who enjoys a high quality seafood entrée. The ambience was refreshingly quiet, and I could actually carry on a conversation without having to raise my voice to compete with all the other tables around us. I appreciate the fact that outdoor dining is back, but the number of people who are just trying to feel normal again by eating out seems to be greatly increased. This eatery was far removed from the crowds of El Paso and is well worth the money. Very well pleased!

We picked up for dinner for tonight and we will have enough for tomorrow! Every item was absolutely delicious and the best we’ve ever had. Just the right amount of seasonings, spice, and not greasy. We had chicken in caramel sauce, Pad Thai, mixed vegetables, and green chicken curry with brown and white rice. Incredible dinner. 🙏 Thank you.

This place is amazing!Delicious food with a lot of options!Im vegan and I always find a different dish to order.I took my mother there and also my friends they were all very impressed. My friends say its the best mango sticky rice they ever had.Its great that we can all eat amazing food at the same place its not always like that for me as a vegan.

Wonderful atmosphere. They are fully open with great out door dining experience with heat lamps so you stay warm. Waiters and manager is very friendly and tried their best to accommodate to your needs. Very wonderful people!

Absolutely love this place have been going there for about 4 years now and it never fails. Their pad thai is full of flavor, their orange chicken is absolutely delightful and freshly made to order. I cant go without having a small house salad as their peanut dressing is to die for. All their food is full of flavor cant ever go wrong. Customer service is always great and very kind. Atmosphere is very mellow and relaxing.

This is my absolute favorite Thai restaurant in the valley. Make no mistake Thai food is one of my favorites so its definitely a treat for myself or with company whenever I get to eat at this restaurant.Oni (pronounced O-Knee, and Im not sure if I spelled that right either) is a very attentive and charming waiter. I havent been here in about 3 years and when I stopped in the other day he still remembered me which of course feels great. In a nutshell the service is stellar.The food is absolutely fantastic. Theres so much flavor in these dishes I wouldnt even know where to begin. Honestly I love Thai food as I previously mentioned and while there are some good Thai restaurants in the valley, this place just seems to take those extra steps that reward the palate with uncompromising flavor and texture.I can honestly say Ive never had a bad dish here, not even close.Whether youre in the mood to have one of your Thai favorites or try something new I highly recommend this restaurant whether its just a lunch or dinner for yourself, a very nice date, or if you want to hang out with some friends this place has the atmosphere which can provide all of the above.Cheers & Bon Appetit!

The food is very fresh. I had the spicy noodles and theyre very saucy. I asked for 7/10 level of spiciness, which is my usual at other places. This was much hotter than I expected. It would have been nice to get water refills without asking. No other complaints.

Review №46

2021-08-14 01:51:18

We LIVE for the fresh rolls, dipped in their delectable peanut sauce mixed with their INCOMPARABLE house-roasted chile paste (trust me, NO one elses is worthy!). Ive never deviated from the phenomenally delicious Asian eggplant, sometimes with shrimp (always cooked to plump perfection), often without, but always eggplant (Im the type who tries something else and, if its good, fine, but who is SO remorseful if it isnt as good as my tried-and-true fave). My husbands favorites are wide-ranging, but hes always very pleased. They cook everything with pride of ownership -- and that says it all.

Review №47

2019-03-25 04:01:47

Very interesting decor, with a mix of traditional asian art and modern day furniture. Very comfortable feel. Looked to be a nice small bar as well. The food was fantastic. I got the shrimp green curry, but switched out the shrimp with tofu (vegan). It was top notch curry, perfect level of spice (7 out of 10 spice level) with good tasting tofu and veggies. Our servers were very friendly. Definitely want to go back for more.

Review №48

2021-05-29 01:24:47

Nice Thai Restaurant being my first visit I wasnt sure what to expect. I ordered a Thai Coffee and it was refreshingly different. I then had Panga Curry (sp?) and was disappointed how bland it was, but I failed to request medium spicy. The curry had a fair amount of chicken, I counted 2 or 3 pieces of bell pepper. I couldnt recommend this dish.Ill go back and try it again to be fair.

2020-03-14 03:18:30

The ambiance is very subtle I love the lamps and lightning when you are in this place you can not tell the time it seems is night and the menu has a variety of delighted Thai food i have tried the shrimp coconut soup, they bring you a big pot which is lighted up with candle fire in the center to keep it warm is good for sharing up to three people or if you are hungry you can have it all!!:) the Pad Thai is garnished with cilantro peanut butter dressing and the meat of your choice and the noodles are made of brown rice . The food is fresh and the service is good I would recommend this place for lunch or dinner you don t need reservation the time I have been there I just walk in

2018-01-30 05:58:18

I used to love this place but yesterday would probably be my last.... poor service... took 20 minutes for water and for waiter to get our order.... Seafood fried rice was small in amount than before and tasted like too much oil... halibut was so small and wasnt cooked the way it used to be. The owner knows me by name and face and I ll be thinking for a long time before I go back. Not worth the money. Its ok to be expensive but show service and quality. You just lost me and my wife.

Review №52

2021-01-02 01:23:01

Possibly the BEST Southeast Asian dining in the Valley! The owners are always nice and the service is great! Ive tried yellow curry at well over two dozen Asian restaurants across the country and Le Basil has some of the best yellow curry Ive ever eaten!This is one of my top 3 choices for restaurants and the entire desert.

Review №53

2019-08-06 21:37:33

First time here. Small but comfy vibe. I was seated by the same person who also served me. She was friendly. Food is reasonably priced. I had the Lo Mein and these noodles were not Lo Mein. It was kind of bland. This is the only dish I can review and Im sure there are many good ones here I have yet to try. So would I revisit? Not sure. Would I recommend? Yes if you really dont know the difference.

Review №55

2021-05-14 21:43:16

Food is delicious!! Nice, quiet little place... The only reason its not 5 stars is because you have to flag someone down to order. The wait staff doesnt check on the tables enough.

Food was amazing, service was great, they where super busy so of course a bit of a wait getting food but nothing to extreme we had medium size group and no one person was waiting to long. Loved it! Im so full right now. Try the coconut soup! yum!

WOW. I the old location in redlands was our go to Thai place and we were so sad to see it close. But we finally were able to make it out to palm desert and get takeout from le basil here. We were not disappointed! Even with all the memories and hype from our memories of the old le basil, it exceeded expectations.To start, the fresh rolls are incredible. The lettuce is crisp and everything tastes fresh. The peanut dipping sauce is incredible and complements it perfectly. Highly recommend! (We got ours with tofu instead of shrimp)We got both the panang and yellow curry with fresh tofu and they were both incredible. I prefer the brown rice to the white rice at least here. The brown rice has more substance and is more of an heirloom/wild rice compared to traditional brown. The curries were both smooth and great consistencies. Not watery at allAll the noodles we got were yummy, but the pad Thai in particular stole the show. It was saucy, flavorful and tasted great. The pad see ew is a classic and was lived by everyone. The spicy noodles (pad kee mao/drunken noodles) were good but definitely took a step back from the other two. Not because they were bad but because the rest was just so good!Super excited to know le basil is still doing what it does best. Highly recommend!!

Am never disappointed with the cuisine at this small hidden restaurant. Truly refined and unique flavors. If going for the first time, use Google maps to take you to the door. I like the red curry especially, but try the Money Bags appetizer for something tasty and fun.

Hands down my favorite Thai restaurant anywhere. Everything we ordered was flavorful, with fresh, delicious ingredients. Service was friendly and prompt, and, as if it couldnt get any better, theyve now added Vietnamese dishes to the menu. Worth the minutes extra search at the back of the shopping complex. Just go!

Review №61

2017-02-14 21:14:21

My wife and I found Le Basil after our favorite Thai restaurant closed down. This was a perfectly suitable replacement. The food is excellent. Our favorites are the Yellow Curry and Panang Curry. Even if you think you dont like curry you should try these - it just might change your mind. We typically get takeout and for about $30 we stuff ourselves and have leftovers for two days. On top of that the staff are very friendly and just as great as the food!

This place has the absolute best Tom Ka Kai soup I have ever had, by a ridiculously wide margin. Sometimes I come here and just get a hot pot of Tom Ka Kai and nothing else, and I leave entirely satisfied. They also have outstanding spicy fried rice, and their Thai lemonade is good although sometimes a little inconsistent. This is one of the more authentic Thai places in town, at least according to my limited knowledge of the cuisine.

The best authentic Thai restaurant in Coachella Valley! The owners Tor and Orn will accommodate what you need even its not on the menu!My daughter loves their yellow egg noodles which they always make it special just for her.

I agree about the service being good but I was disappointed in the food. Had the spicy noodles and while the sauce was flavorful, the noodles were a gummy congealed mess. There were about 3 basil leaves and about a lb of tofu making it a completely unbalanced dish. Dont think well be back.

Last night was the worst Thai restaurant I have ever experienced. The only acceptable part of our meal was the fried spring rolls.The Pad Tai was horribly over cooked and soggy. It was the consistency of mush.Go to Smile Thai in Palm Springs and you wont be disappointed.I

Over all really poor experience. Ordered over the phone and our order was incorrect and was troublesome to amend. Staff did not want to correct. Food was cold once we finally received the correct order. Later in the night felt extremely sick in my stomach as well. Would not recommend.

This was one of the best Thai restaurants I have eaten at in years, and I have eaten Thai food all over the world. The service was excellent. We came in from Phoenix and had dinner here on June 14. Our server was a very sweet lady who was the owners wife. We tried the spicy noodles and the server recommended the pad thai with eggs. Although I dont like eggs on pad thai, I went ahead and tried it anyway. As expected, I didnt much care for it. However, the spicy noodles were amazing. She offered to take away the pad thai and replace it with another spicy noodles. She was very pleasant to speak with, and service was prompt.I would recommend anyone to come here just to try the spicy noodles dish, although we will probably try a panang next time were here just for variety.Note: It was mentioned in another review that this was not for vegetarians. Both me and my wife are vegetarian, and the service was very accomodative of that.

I gave it a 5 just because it was my first visit. Very busy, so you might want to check in advance for seating. Sorry, I didnt take any photos. The meal was tasty.

I get cravings for the food at Le Basil restaurant! Try the spicy noodles with chicken or the curry. Great local business! Patio seating. Ample parking. Right next to Smart and Final.

I their defense, they were very busy, but the service was extremely slow. We got a seat relatively quickly, but after that the entire process was defined by excessive waiting. The wait staff seemed to almost always be in the back. The food was good though.

Outstanding food and prompt service without fail. No better Tom Ka Kai soup in the valley. Harmonious blend of Thai and Vietnamese that will not disappoint. I highly recommend Le Basil!!!

Id give it one star if I could. I requested a vegetarian panang curry with tofu in lieu of beef (an option I couldnt deselect despite trying). It arrived creamy white and full of beef. Last I checked, panang curry is a peanut based curry. Disappointed and still hungry. The Postmates app and this restaurant are terrible.

They had booths available everywhere but denied them to us because we were a party of two, and the booths are for four persons. Instead, the female owner of the place, seated us at the dinkiest little table, in a corner. The two person party that was right behind me, though, they were given the booth that I was denied. Meanwhile, were sitting in this corner, and theres some weird buzzing sound, AND, the dinky little table is very wobbly. Moreover, everything is over-priced and the food is just eh.

We have been going to Le Basil for many many years, and the quality and hospitality have always been superb. For sure, one of the top asian food places in town.

Le Basil has shut down the southeast asian food game. Best damn curry in the valley, period. The orange chicken and iced coffee will change your life. Do yourself a flavor and get over here with a quickness.

Review №93

2017-02-13 19:03:32

The curry was too sweet and not much spicy that I am used to... I guess its ok for being toned down for locals but wish they had a option to keep it more authentic.... disappointed that its a sell out.
