I dined around 8:30pm on a Sunday evening. As they close at 9:30, I worried they might be annoyed to get a customer that late. But though they were starting to clean up, they were very accommodating as well. I ordered the vegetable spring rolls and pineapple friend rice with tofu. The food was excellent, as usual. Service was very attentive. It's well-decorated and clean inside. One of my favorite restaurants in Winston-Salem. They take take out orders as well. Read less

Great Thai food in a nice and pleasant atmosphere. The added benefit of being able to order the absolute best tempura fried chicken with my red curry is phenomenal. The Crab Rangoon tastes wonderful too. The tea is freshly brewed, and not that nasty canned stuff, which is another reason to go. Read less

Such a quaint place!! The server was so sweet & seemed to be enjoying herself while working! There were 3 of us & we all had the same thing the Pad Mamaung (Cashew Nut). I had mine with tofu & noodles instead of rice, the other 2 had theirs with chicken & rice. The noodles were perfect to me. Everything tasted real good, I did add soy sauce, which increased the flavor. They give you so much food, plenty for leftovers!! Read less

We love Thai food and we were disappointed when our normal Thai restaurant was closed on Sunday afternoon. We decided to try The Basil Leaf and see how things compared. The service at this restaurant was great. Everyone was kind, helpful and gracious. It was wonderful service. The appearance of the food was also really pretty. Sadly the quality of the food was disappointing. The very first thing I noticed was that they used frozen mixed vegetables in addition to fresh peppers in their panang curry. The Thai restaurant that we love uses all fresh vegetables... and the fresh crisp versus the soft mush makes a huge difference. Overall the flavors were just not as rich as we're used to either. The coconut milk tasted watered down in the dishes and really made the dishes somewhat dull. While I rate the service as 5 stars, I just cannot get past the disappointment with the quality of the food. Maybe we hit this place on a bad day, but I don't think we'll be trying it again. Read less
