Basil Thai Cuisine

I really wanted to love it. I found Thai food recently, a restaurant in Lexington SC (to die for). However... The service was very good, on time, friendly and helpful. The wontons were ok, couldn't taste what was inside. The Asian sea bass tasted very good. The rice was mildly warm when it came out. The crispy duck was not crispy. And that is the most recommended dish on the menu. The fat had not been rendered, and there was a lot of fatty tissue. It was tender and the sauce was delicious. I wouldn't recommend the fried ice cream, it's surrounded by a donut like thing that felt doughy, not fully cooked, and the ice cream was incredibly hard, although tasty, green tea favor. The music was so repetitive! It's kind cool in a bar/disco, here the continuous boom boom ended being annoying. The last straw was the women's bathroom, there are two stalls, but one doesn't lock, at all, unless you take a friend with you to pull it close. I am not sure I would recommend it when you consider the price.

We were drawn in for lunch by the great smells and friendly host...but this place was disappointing. Very limited wine and beer selection and the bartender had no clue about any of the drinks. We ordered the ginger chicken and it was strangely served with romaine lettuce as the vegetable, drenched in sauce (not like a little side salad). ????? Visually very unappealing. Also, they don't allow you to get fried rice as a side instead of brown or white rice. We have never seen that before. Overall the flavor was good, but some pieces of chicken were undercooked. And for the look and pricing of the place, I expected real chopsticks instead of the cheap wood ones.

I wanted to try authentic Thai food but I guess I ordered the wrong food. I ordered a vegetarian noodle option but it was a bit too much tomato sauce. The next time I tried their rice and red curry which was very nice. Ask the waiter if you are not sure what to order and they help you with ordering and can customize as per your needs.
