One of the best pad thai! And good ambiance as well.
Their pad thai is the best ever
Highly Recommended: Phad thai (P385),Ā Pineapple Fried Rice (P385),Ā Chicken with Cashew Nuts (P325) and Thai Crispy Fish w/ Green Mango Salad (P395). Ate in this resto 4-5 times already (BGC and Ayala 30th branch). It's super delicious and also sulit because it's on zgold!
We also tried their Tom Yum, Spicy Beef Short Ribs, Thai Sisig, Thai Chicken Bbq and Thai Papaya Salad. Food: 5/5Ā |Ā Ā Value for money: 5/5Ā |Ā Ambiance: 3.5/5
Good food, sizeable serving for 2 pax affordable price
Not a fan of thai cuisine but when we visited Ayala the 30th, there were only a few selection for zomato gold partners so we decided to try Basil. Ordered beef short ribs, grilled prawns and fried rice w/ shrimp.
Servings was good and reasonable for its prices. The taste was surprisingly a delight as well. Condiments and dipping sauces for their dishes would have helped but since Im not well versed with Thai cuisine, I really dont know if their food can be partnered with certain sauces.
Recommended for gold perks and if youre up to try a different taste, head to Basil.

Zomato Gold Experience: 5/5
I would like to start by saying that this is the best Zomato Gold experience Iāve had with a partner so far. Everything on the menu is fair game, and we did not feel like second class citizens once we brought up the Z word. Kudos to you guys. The food was good though I wish the servings were a bit bigger. I loved the ambiance and the service was good. Canāt wait to try out the other branches!
All I have to say is this restaurant and branch did not disappoint. Using Zomato Gold, the Pad Thai and Green Chicken Curry is amazing. I will definitely come back for more. In terms of serving size, it was very generous.
Service was great, staff was attentive and our water glasses were refilled when empty.
5/5 stars on the food
5/5 on the service as well

Great food undeniably thai, very authentic experience. Although they served our rice last, a real mouthful. Comfy ambiance yet contradicted by a heat that is unbearably irritating, overencumbering the AC.
Food is great and serving portions are good foe sharing. This is one of my default choices for authentic thai cuisine in Manila. No frills with very reasonable prices.
Good food, good ambience, good service. A good place to eat out whether for lunch or dinner. The chicken green curry and tom yung were tasteful.
Went here for dinner with family, the ambiance was really nice even though it was quite dark. Ordered the usual Thai food such as pad thai, curry and Tom yum, they really tasted authentic so I would definitely try their other dishes next time!
Best pad thai and tom yum for me. The beef with holy basil was also quite scrumptious. The thai sisig was a miss for me since I normally expect sizzling sisig. For dessert, we had mango sticky rice. It was ok. Overall, I would go back to Basil.
The Beef with Holy Basil has holy in its name because it is just glorious. A must-try for every diner.
The Shrimp with Garlic and Black Pepper was very good too.
The food here is very delicious! We liked that the servings are also very generous. I'm glad we tried it out with Zomato Gold. Great value for money! š
The food that was supposed to be spicy was appropriately (if painfully) spicy.
Will definitely return for the barbecue sticks and the milk tea
The food is good, I only ordered Pad Thai and Beef Satay so Iām not sure with the others in their menu. If you want to eat peacefully this is your place, quiet and cozy. I reco this for meeting over meal, friends catching up or first time dating haha
Food was generally really good, but I remembered it to be way better the first time I ate there months ago. Overall still a great experience in spite of the tasteless dalandan shake and poor a/c units condition.
Its my 3rd time eating in this restau. I love their Pad Thai and Prawns in garlic and black pepper. Adding to my favorites are their Thai bagoong rice and Crispy fish in 3 flavor sauce. Will definitely come back again.
Basil has the BEST pad thai if youāre looking for nice authentic Thai flavors. It can be nicely paired with their crispy squid with red curry mayo since it gives a nice balance in texture. Squid is fried nicely, and I also think the mayo is delicious.
Food is nice as usual. What bothered me is the air con that leaks near our table. Hope the branch fixes this soon. Staff at the Ayala 30th branch are also nice in a manner similar to how the staff at the BGC branch were nice.
We ordered:
Papaya Salad āāāāā
Tom Yum āāāāā
Thai Pork Barbecue āāāā
Pad Thai. āāāāā
Ambiance: 8/10
Service: 5/10; We're not sure if they are undermanned, but they do have really poor service.
Overall experience: 7/10; if not for the food, the rating I'd give would have been lower.
Hmmm. Basil a thai resto at ayala 30th. Cozy ambiance , I can feel the touch of thailand in their decor. Let me check the food and will tell you if its worth the try.
I am delightfully surprised wth the food it is a thumbs up for me. We had the pork sisig wow spicylicious.
Bagoong rice with green mango my favorite and a must try. Calamares was ok. Pork honey glazed was ok.
Overall 8/10

This is my 2nd time in this restaurant. First time was not the best experience. The second timeās a charm. I liked everything we ordered. We got pad thai (last time it was too oily), thai squid, rice with shrimps and thai sisig. Thai sisig was a bit weird for me but I think itās because Iām more used to the Kapampangan style. Iāll definitely come back.

Thanks to Eatigo, we celebrated a birthday here at 50 off! The interiors were authentic Thai. The catfish salad was good. The fried spring roll was one of the best Iāve tasted, we ordered another one mid meal. Their bagoong rice was good too! Calamari and the dip is also a must order.
Honey Ribs is too sweet for me. Sisig thai style is not my fave too much mayonnaise and red pepper.

Thai Bagoong Rice paired with Chicken Cashew Nuts is š. Also ordered Pad Thai on the side. Gulped it down with Thai Iced Tea...happy tummy!!!
We ordered:
Fresh spring rolls
Tom yum
Pad Thai
Pork Ribs with Honey
Crispy fish with 3 flavor sauce
Thai bagoong rice
Everything was flavorful, and have its own spice.
š½ Food: Tom Yum Soup, Catfish Salad, Pad Thai, and Chicken with Casher Nuts are my favourites!! You wonāt go wrong with these meals. Basil is my favourite Thai restaurant in Manila.
š¹ Drinks: Thai Milk Tea is something to try.
š“Ambiance: Design is like a typical Thai restaurant. The place is a bit warm, they might have to check on the air con. The branch along White Plains Avenue is more romantic - recommended for a date place.
š« Service: Servers know their menu well and are approachable.
šø Price: Affordable especially that all meals are good for 3 people already.

Shrimp fried rice has a genrous amount of whole shrimps, pad thai is tasty (but i still prefer nav's) chicken cashew and honey pork were tender and flavorful. The spring rolls were good with either of the sauces/dips. I liked the mango sticky rice but not so much the thai halo halo because the latter was too creamy for my liking. Food takes quite a while to be served but the servers are all polite and attentive :)
The place is so calm and relaxing! The food I ordered was good but the one I like so much is the sticky rice with mango. Overall, good experience
The food was decent! My family liked their order of tom yum, pad thai, beef curry, and crispyfish in 3 sauce. I enjoyed my thai lettuce wrap. Even if I asked to remove the egg, it was still flavorful enough with its sauce, just a bit spicy. Sticky rice with mango was lukewarm but we still enjoyed it too.
Servers were kind and the place looks nice- you'll initially smell something off but you'll get used to it.
It's been years ago since we visited a Thai resto.
I actually do watch YouTube's Thai food Mukbang especially the Papaya Salad with raw seafoods. I was excited to how it taste for real during this lunch we had weeks ago.
Crispy Prawns with garlic and Pepper P435
only good for 2pax. We managed to enjoy it though because of the other dishes we had. It's indeed crispy and flavorful.
Tom Yum
was served smoking hot. It reminds me of chinese Hot & Sour soup. I like it but the chinese version better.
Pomelo Salad P295
Mama who loves veggies enjoys it as much as we do. I like the Tamarind sauce they used here.
Chicken with Cashew Nuts
coated with flour and fried.
Pineapple Rice
I'm not a fan of this one. Though naubos namin and consumed lahat afterall.
Pork Ribs with Honey P245
this is the star on our table. We all agreed the Pork is tender and delicious with its honey BBQ sauce.
They have the perfect ambiance that makes you wanna stay for dessert. I liked all of the items we ordered which appear on the pictures below (Prawns with Lemon Grass, Beef Basil, Sticky Rice with Mango). Aside from these, we also had coffee. Good value for money.
Ate here because we booked via BigFish. Yahs! Thank you BigFish for the 40% off
Tom Yun - Good for sharing. It's a sour soup na maraming seafoods.
Beef Satay - Good for sharing din to, lasang authentic beef satay talaga. You can dip it sa peanut sauce.
Thai Sisig - Also good for sharing din tong dish na to. This one is my favorite out of all the dishes we ordered. May lasang Pinoy padin kasi sisig but may spice na halo to make the dish more like a Thai cuisine. Try this one, I swear masarap!
Sticky Rice with Mango - Yummy dessert, nakakabusog dahil nga sticky rice to. Mejo nakulangan lang ako sa coconut milk but the rice was soft and the mangoes were sweet
Overall, Basil offers almost āauthenticā Thai food. I would say the dishes were adjusted to cater to Filipino taste - less spicy and a bit salty. Or, maybe I have high tolerance for spicy food thatās why i find the kick a bit lacking.
As for the ambience, it has that Thai feel including the serving dishes they use. As for the staff, they were attentive, friendly and courteous. I celebrated my birthday there with my family and they allowed me to serve my cake without corkage.
What I liked most:
tom yong soup (no photo)
chicken green curry
honey glazed pork
Bagoong Rice (no photo)
What I liked least:
Beef Basil (no photo)
Pad Thai (no photo) - didnāt like the type of noodles used
Thai iced tea - it was served as a shake. I prefer it with just normal ice
The restaurant was a perfect place to dine specially if your looking for a place for a meeting or even for couple dates. A complete set of meal is being offered from the appetizers to the main dish plus the desserts and drinks. They also have wines and beers.I loved the Chicken Green Curry they offer and also the Pad Thai. Its superb! The Thai Bagoong Rice and Fresh Spring Roll is also a must try! and of course, your Thai experience will not be complete without tasting the Tom Yum Soup. A perfect blend of spiciness and sourness . Great for a "bed-weather".The staffs were also accommodating specially the one that served us, Robert. He was courteous and accommodating to all our needs.We will surely comeback!
Always a good idea to go here whenever I crave for thai food! Good presentation, remarkable ambiance, and friendly waiters. Their food is always great, although pricey worth every penny!
Basil is my favorite Thai restaurant.Ā I usually go to their White Plains outlet which has a wonderful ambience.Ā When I visited this new Basil location in Ortigas Center, I could feel the same aura as their WP branch minus all the plants.Ā The food was the same which is exceptional and authentic.Ā Whenever I think of Thai food, I think of Basil.Ā I love Basil!
I would have given this place a 5* rating for the flavor alone. I just wish they can add a bigger portion on their dishes. btw the Desserts are okay at best.
As a lover of pad thai, I am giving this place a 4.
The place is small, and I don't know why their menu was so heavy! Literally heavy, and you have to be extra careful when handling it cs it might fall off and break.
Their pad thai is really really good!! Or maybe I didn't had pad thai for a long time now so I find it really delicious. Their spring rolls is quite herb-y which I don't like. The serving of the food is small. Yes, so it's not good for sharing except for the rice. I personally love the bagoong rice.
Good good, fair pricing, and great service.
The whole fried lapulapu is their signature dish and it's definitely worthy of the title. Crispy and light with a sweet sauce to dip in if you wish. This has to be the best way I've seen this served, it's perfect.
Thai style mixed vegetables were kind of misleading - it's basically egg and kangkong in a funky sauce, not really impressed.
Red curry was really good on flavor - 5 out of 5, however it was watery and not the usual thick sauce I'm used to.
Overall a good pick for when you have a craving for Thai food.
This resto serves very good thai food. Though the price is on the high, it's worth it. There food servings are good for 2-3 people. The place is cozy in which you can feel the Thai ambiance. However, their blue linoleum-like table cover destroyed the elegance of the place. It made the place look cheap. It doesn't match and does not look good with beautifully crafted wooden chairs. We hope that they replace these table covers.
Pad thai was good. It's a little sweet and full of flavor. I definitely want to go back to try other food on their menu.

30th Mall is the newest go to in the busy Ortigas Center. Although the area already has 5 malls in its vicinity, it oddly welcomed another one. And this shopping and food hub is not that small, it has four floors complete with amenities.
On the outside of the mall which they named Corte houses a number of restaurants in two floors. The variety of cuisine is well distributed. Beside this Thai place is Halal, Mediterranean and on the other side, Lartizan, offering French.
This is already Basil's fourth branch. Their first was in White Plains and as it garnered much success, they took the opportunity to expand now in mall areas. They do Thai well and justifies their higher price tag.
Servings on all our four picks were generous. This is seen most in their rendition of Pad Thai. The taste was similar to the ones I've tried in their country. The peanut was evidently present with the meat and its noodles. I also loved the fact that extra peanuts are available on the side.
Chicken Green Curry (Php 325) was spiced maybe too much but it was still on point on flavor. This sweet version of curry has nice cube pieces of eggplant and fresh leaves of basil.
Stir Fried Vegetables (Php 305) was a surprise as it turned out to be just one vegetable, Spinach. I was actually expecting a number of kinds so I double checked with wait staff if they sent us the right dish. Went on eating it anyway since it was delicious. The mix with scrambled egg was satisfying.
For a sweet ending, I got my favorite Thai dessert, their Halo Halo. I am a fan of water chestnuts and they had plenty of this in their sweet concoction of milk, coconut, syrup and fine ice.
