About this restaurant

  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
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.

    Apps, meals were fantastic! The desserts were just okay- the cheesecake tasted store bought and lacked deliciousness- the coconut cream pie was somewhat still frozen. Server was fantastic and friendly. Thanks Ann!

    Ive been here many times and loved it here (with the exception of a horrible experience in Dec 2024) but I have always come there with a group. Seating for 2 was absolutely horrible. You are seated at a way too small table and too close to others. After taking the drink orders, my drink came but my husband mocktail didn't. Then we were told way after the fact that his drink could not be made and had to substitute it for something else. I also ordered the appetizer at the same time as the first drink order. 15 mins later still no appetizer. She came back and took our dinner order so at that time I ask to cancel the appetizer because it appeared both the appetizer and dinner order would come out at the same time and there would be no room for all that food at this little table. Then she came back and told me that the entree that I ordered was no longer available so I ordered a very simple dish. Several minutes passed with no food on the table. Some people around me that came in after me was either served their appetizer or were waiting for their food, just like us. I noticed that the manager would interrupt the cooks to place one off orders which was probably the cause of most of the delays. He did that several times and would walk away with food orders he placed on the spot. After sitting there for one hour we decided to leave. This was the 2nd bad experience in a row unfortunately I cannot give this place another chance. It completely ruined my surprise birthday dinner plan for my husband. Shame on me for thinking the 2nd time would be better.

    We arrived for our reservation just as the restaurant was opening for dinner and the staff was ready to go. Two of us shared two appetizers, fresh basil rolls and nam sod with chicken, plus an order of pad kee mow. The amount of food was perfect, enough to leave us satisfied but not feeling heavy. We very much enjoyed the rolls and the noodles and would absolutely order them again. We both found the nam sod less flavorful than expected but fully acknowledge that neither of us knew what to expect from the dish. Service was friendly, attentive and timely, despite the restaurant being short a food runner. I'm definitely adding Basil to my short list of pre-theater dinner favorites.

    Visited for Valentine’s Day. Although we had reservations, we had a small wait due to overbooking (not the fault of the restaurant-third party services). This actually worked in our favor as they opened up the private party area which gave us a private dining experience. We had our own waitress, who was the best. Sophie *spelling* made sure everything was perfect- music level, lights, and of course our meal. The food was fresh and flavorful. I had the curry 1/2 duck and my wife had the basil mixed seafood. We also had the wings as an appetizer (I could have done without these). Will definitely be back
