Sweet Basil - Brooklyn

Sweet Basil was my go to Thai spot and I miss them so much since they?ve closed. Really hope they?re able to reopen in this area!

Got drunken noodles with chicken, nothing too crazy. Pro: Portions were good. Tables spaces far away from each other. Con: Limited outdoor seating (went midday with one other person so wasn?t really a problem, could see this being an issue later in the day)

I love this place. We order delivery from here on a weekly basis, and it never takes more than 10 minutes from the time we hang up the phone to when it gets to our door- no joke. I think the shortest we ever clocked was 6 minutes! The food is always piping hot and fresh, and the fried bits are always crisp and perfect. I can't speak highly enough of Sweet Basil.. love u

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.

Update**Sometimes you need to give a place a break and try again had a dish all greens ..I am not vegetarian or vegan but there are days you would think so.. Anyway ,the dish was sautéd asparagus, bamboo shoots, Chinese broccoli, green beans...not a bunch of raw onions or garlic (yay) but it was delicious, coupled with a small side of Jazmine rice. Thank You!
