Basil Rice - Brookline

I ride past this place everyday finally stopped in. So glad I did. It's a hidden gem! I've been there 3 times this wk will make return again sometime soon. The food is good, tastes super fresh. I purchased their chicken teriyaki w/ white rice their version of orange chicken (pictured below). My son wasn't too fond of it as he's never gotten dry crispy chicken for orange chicken. I did call to complain about the issue, left a detailed msg and received no response. I went back the next day with that plate and was told that's just how they make it. For that I knocked off a star as I was expecting a different outcome. They did not offer an even exchange nor an apology for the orange chicken. I just asked for the plate to be discarded paid for my chicken teriyaki to-go (pictured below). While waiting I saw a few dishes come out to other's that were dining in. I asked what they were and was told shrimp pineapple fried rice, and the other was garlic chicken with fried rice. Sidenote... when you request double meat. It is DOUBLE MEAT! My first trip I had double meat. The entire white container was filled with meat. The rice was in a small take out box separately. That's what had me sold! Their website is user friendly as well.

Good food, affordable and fast. Thanks for your service in this hard times.

Chicken fried rice was mushy in texture but the flavor profile was not bad. Food was finished quickly, which is a positive, but probably would not order again.

I discovered this gem last month and have had food from here multiple times since then. My favorites are pad thai, drunken noodles and cashew curry. Quantity is good. Their lunch deal is cool too with appetizer and a drink.

I've ordered from here a few times and it's always been great, but today I had a particularly satisfying experience. I was tired and ordered from their online pickup menu and thought I was ordering a regular green curry. I was a little surprised when I got home and realized I had mistakenly ordered a green curry burrito--something I didn't even realize was on the menu--but I figured since it was my bad and I'd already walked a half mile home I'd eat it anyway. Never something I'd think to order on my own, but wow was it delicious. It was fast, filling, cheap and, again, incredibly tasty. I will be ordering it again. My only regret was ordering a side of rice because I did not anticipate the burrito, and I definitely didn't need that after such a hearty meal.
