Basil Box at Square One offers quick, customizable, and tasty meal options with friendly service. The food is fresh, delicious, and healthy, with vegan options available. Customers enjoy the variety of flavors and ingredients, creating combinations that are satisfying and well-balanced. The restaurant provides a Southeast Asian culinary experience, with authentic sauces and protein options. Despite the limited selection, the dishes are incredibly tasty. The convenient location and quality of food make Basil Box a go-to spot for a fast and satisfying meal while shopping at the mall.
A great Southeast Asian restaurant where we start to order from the base and mix/match with other ingredients (I think there are over twelve types to pick or you can ask for all). The ingredients will enhance the taste of your dish. Love it. 1. Lemongrass Chicken2. Five Spice Steak3. Coconut Curry Tofu
I was so happy to find this place while Christmas shopping. There are pitifully few vegan options in the typical food court (even the Cultures in Square One puts meat in just about everything). I had the jasmine rice with coconut curry tofu, veggies and peanut sauce (all the sauces are vegan-friendly). It was delicious! The service was friendly. I will definitely return.
Excellent alternative to typical burger in a box fast food. Proper portion, distinct flavors and if you get the hot sauce and add the diced red chili on top, it is actually seriously spicey. My go to when in Square One
Basil Box is the newest addition to the food court at Square One Mall in Mississauga. They are an Asian fast-casual restaurant serving the exotic flavors of Thailand and Vietnam with a build-a-box concept. What I liked most about Basil Box was that they offer a healthier alternative to the array of fast-food options in the food court. Customers are able to customize their meal to their liking, and they also offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. I was invited to drop by Basil Box on their opening day to try their food for lunch, and I happily obliged as I was in the area for a meeting. I met Peter Chiu, the owner of Basil Box, that day as he was on hand getting consumer feedback. I also learned that Basil Box will be expanding, as they will be opening up a flagship full-service restaurant sometime by the end of the year. The upcoming flagship will be located in the Ryerson Learning Centre, which I am excited about as it's centrally located downtown.

They are able to choose their main base, 2 veggies, a protein (which determines the price), a sauce, and then topped it off with a topping. The instructions and available options are clearly displayed on the wall, so it was quite a helpful guide.<br/ <br/ For my box, I chose short grain brown rice, lemongrass corn, roasted green beans, chili lime shrimp, sweet chili lime, and crushed peanuts. The portion that we got on opening day was comparably less than what people are getting today when they order from Basil Box. The reason for the change now was because Peter took the constructive criticisms from bloggers, and other customers on opening week into consideration, and increased the portion. I think it's great that he's dedicated to the product, and open to suggestions from customers.
