Green Basil Thai Restaurant - Calabasas, California

Authentic and friendly place. Small but tasty.

Come before rush hour like meal times and you will be fine. The good part is there is a parking lot next to the building.

Nice little place with really Thai food that has not been Americanized and I hope not anytime soon.

I can hear the wok sound from where I sit. Taste it while it is smoking hot and it is how the Thai food is supposed to be.

Music is Thai, food is Thai, waitress is Thai and the feeling is Thai as well.

Pretty good food, panang curry was very flavorful and the server was nice. Food came out at vastly different times for our large group though which is always a bit awkward and a bummer as I like when everyone has their meals. Also, they gave me a very small side of rice for my huge bowl of delicious curry, so I had to eat half like a soup and steal some noodles from my son's dish to dip in. (Rice is cheap so not sure why they're stingy with it).

This is an outstanding Thai restaurant! It ranks very highly among the best we've ever had! We're vegetarian and had no trouble finding suitable dishes.

I had the vegetable green curry and it was wonderful! The flavors were balanced between slight sweetness, spiciness (i ordered spicy--one level below the highest: extra spicy) and curry flavor. I don't like sweet curries, and this was not too sweet, but just a hint. My dish included extra veggies, like Chinese eggplant, squash, bell peppers and carrots. You can get if with other proteins, too, such as chicken, beef or tofu.

My wife had the tofu panang curry, which i tasted. It was a bit creamier than the green curry due to more coconut milk, but it had similar mild sweetness, good spice and balanced curry flavor. These are truly wonderful dishes!

We also ordered basil vegetable rolls, which had fresh lettuce, basil, carrots and other fresh veggies wrapped in a moist rice paper roll. They were served with an excellent peanut sauce. They were so fresh and delightful! We ordered my son an appetizer of soy chicken nuggets, which were a bit tough, but he ate them with a vegetable roll. Their flavor was very good. He loves peanut butter, so that peanut sauce sealed the deal for him.

You must try this place! I highly recommend it!

You wouldn't think much of this quaint little spot but the food here really packs a punch. I got the yellow chicken curry with white rice and it was incredible. The chicken was cooked well, and the curry came out steaming hot with such a great aroma of flavors. The creaminess of the curry complimented the rice well, and added a new depth of flavor with the vegetables. Not to mention that they gave me a lot of chicken and a lot of potatoes and carrots.

The service was quick and exceptional. I ordered probably within 5 minutes of getting seated and my food came out quickly as well. Highly recommend this place for anyone in the area.

Better than Before! Since we speak Thai, So we have a little chat whit the chef and management. They just move out from busy Thai town and create their own kitchen here. They are just great. This is one of the few times that we had better Thai food outside Thailand.

Many things to recommend indeed. We had Fried Pork Basil, 2 Som Tam (papaya salad); Tam Thai(vegetarian salad) and Tam Laos (adding Thai Pickled Fish/chef's recommended) and of course Pad Thai (Stir-fried Rice Noodle.

We will be back again for sure!

We loved this small restaurant. The delicious food is freshly prepared according to the guests' wishes. The selection of dishes is varied, but not so much with the drinks. The service was nice and helpful. The ambience is a little simple with the plastic tablecloths, but somehow authentic.
The portions were large and the value for money was great.

Small family run restaurant. Lovely atmosphere for lunch 👍🏻
