My first double fried chicken bao!!! It was amazing! So tasty and Shreya helped me pick my order. She was amazing, she helped me with what I wanted to eat lol. Definitely would go back!
I had my own bowl the other day, and the person at the front was very kind and patient with my indecisiveness. He gave me plenty of rice and the right amount of toppings with it (which is always a big plus). Would come back here again!
Got the Zesty steak box. Really well prepared meal. Saee was really sweet and helped me while choosing the box. She even recommended the Thai iced tea which was amazing. Great service overall.
Tried out the new revamped basil box offering Asian street food and so satisfying!
They offer a lot of fusion eats with categories of baos, Mac & cheese, and poutines.
Had the double fried chicken bao, the banh mi fries and the malaysian braised beef Mac & cheese.
The fried chicken was nice and crispy, juicy on the inside and just so nice with the soft fluffy bao!
The braised beef was tender and soft and with every bite of Mac, it was just a perfect flavour combo
The banh mi fries had nice crispy fries with the fresh ingredients you would find in a banh mi and making it into a poutine by adding cheese curds. How they managed to blend all these flavours in is beyond me! So good!
The staff working here were amazing too! Lots of suggestions and recommendations and super nice about everything!
Definitely coming back to try more different options they have available!
Great job overall!

Small location perfect for takeout or a quick meal. I came for dinner, never having tried the original basil box.
I ordered the pad Thai fried rice. While delicious, there was simply too much rice and not enough chicken. Even when I rationed every bite there was still plenty of rice to go. Honestly nothing else about my experience here was bad; the Thai iced tea was solid, and service was as fast as could be. But the absurd ratio was enough for me to dock a star.
I've been here a few times now and while I have heard mixed feedback from colleagues, I've always enjoyed eating here. The 'build your own' approach isn't for everyone but the food always appears fresh and you can always build a good combo from what's on offer. This time around I went for rice noodles, beef with panang sauce, which was a good combo. While it is good solid food, it doesn't make 5 stars because it's not entirely original and I haven't been blown away.
Visited Basil Box for the first time yesterday as they just opened for business. While the menu was simple, there were lots of options to mix and match ingredients and come up with something tasty. I had the brown rice with lemongrass chicken and peanut sauce and it was delicious. Portion wise I couldn't finish my meal so I ate the rest for lunch the next day. They also have some cool drinks. I had the passion fruit lychee soda and my friend had the thai ice tea. Both drinks were excellent, nice and light and not overly sweet. Definitely a place I'll visit for a quick and tasty lunch!
Food is good and tasty. Definitely filling. Bao's are good as a snack or a meal, depending on how hungry you are.
Surprisingly pretty good menu choices and they have quality ingredients. There are many healthy choices to pick from and are very filling for their size. There is no greasy or heavy fillers except for the rice but good thing you have choice of salad, brown rice or Jasmin rice. You can also mix a little within the categories such as half Jasmin has brown rice. I wouldn't say it's the cheapest place to eat but the quality is there. I tried their Thai ice tea, it's a bit sweet and could be have more tea flavour. The entrance is only accessible from the outside, there is not inside entrance. There is parking underground but it's not free.
Healthy thai food that can be built by you. You choose the base from rice noodles, Salad or two kinds of rice. You then choose your veggies, protein, sauces and top it off with crunchy peanuts, pickles etc. They were all fresh and the portion was perfect. The rose pineapple soda was not the one for my taste, but they do have a variety drinks to go with the food.
