We invite you to celebrate refined Thai cuisine and an invigorating dining experience in the heart of Charleston, Mt Pleasant and Columbia, SC and Charlotte, NC.

Basil is the realization of the lifelong dream of Henry and Chai Eang, brothers who immigrated to the United States from turbulent 1970s Cambodia. From speaking not a word of English, to creating award-winning dining experiences throughout the Carolinas, the duo has married hard work with passion to bring authentic Thai cuisine to their new home.

Since opening the first Basil in Charleston to rave reviews, several trendy locations have followed over the last dozen years. Basil’s infectious atmosphere centers around a dynamic kitchen as the sound of heat to metal, blade to board and liquid to flame resonate throughout the restaurant. Each space stylishly appointed to reflect the culture and energy of the noteworthy Southern cities they inhabit.

    My wife was born in Thailand and we have high standards for Thai cuisine, but this place was definitely awesome, clearly the best Thai food we've found in Charlotte. We had the stuffed shrimp rolls, pad thai with shrimp, and basil duck, and each dish was fantastic. We also appreciate the owner coming over for several minutes to check on our meal and chat with us!

    Constructive review for uncooked food at Basil Thai Cuisine, Charlotte: 1/5 stars Extremely disappointing experience at Basil Thai Cuisine, Charlotte last night and I don't plan to return until the issues listed below are not addressed. The issues were multifaceted: 1.⁠ ⁠Undercooked food: Ordered the Satay (Chicken) and was shocked to find it undercooked. Specifically, the chicken was not roasted or grilled properly/half cooked. I understand mistakes happen, but food safety is crucial. The server was attentive, agreed to accept the mistake, kind and ambiance was Okay. However, the undercooked food overshadowed these positives. I hope the kitchen takes necessary steps to ensure proper cooking procedures. 2.⁠ ⁠Argumentative manager/Owner: When I politely reported the undercooked food, the server (Ms. Irina) attentively shared this Owner/manager (Mr. Chai) who became defensive, dismissive and it was very unprofessional to be argumentative and refused to change the food or remove it from the bill, was very rude too by saying we had half of the food which is not true- we just have had 1.5 pieces out of the 4 pieces(Our thoughts- how customers will try the food if they didn't eat). 3.⁠ ⁠Deplorable bathroom conditions: The restroom was not in good condition, with broken sink, tap, no clean toilet paper, no clean napkins with a broken napkin dispenser, green stain accumulation around sink and an overwhelming stench. Recommendations: 1.⁠ ⁠Improve quality control in the kitchen. 2.⁠ ⁠Provide proper training for cooking techniques. 3.⁠ ⁠Consider offering refunds or replacements for undercooked dishes. 4. Proper maintenance and cleanliness needed at the restaurant. 5. Main Door should be replaced – (two people needed to open it yesterday) 6. Consider refunds or replacements for undercooked dishes. 7. Immediately renovate and maintain the bathrooms.
