Thai Basil - Riverton

Dine in available, social distancing and mask required. Delicious Thai food, nice atmosphere, prices are great !

Basically the same thing as Sushi Ya (in Draper and Provo). Most of the menu is identical. Sushi Ya is a little bit better overall slightly better rolls, nicer building, more experienced staff. Prices about the same. Overall this is a quantity over quality experience. The only reason to really come is the buffet. Overall the sushi is fine, but not great. Rolls are pretty basic. None of the rolls really stand out, but it's about $16 for all you can eat (lunch price). So the quality of rolls probably on par with $3 4 dollar rolls. You get what you pay for.

Food was pretty ok. We ordered Drunken Noodles and Basil Chicken. The Vegetable Fried Rice lacked flavor. The Thai Basil in Las Vegas tastes fresher.

(A year ago) The service was good and the restaurant clean. I got the green curry and it tasted like they poured a whole bag of sugar in it. It was sickeningly sweet. I really don't care for the taste of other items I've tried in the past either, especially compared to other local Thai restaurants. I probably won't be back. Feb 18, 2020 I had a craving for pho, but didn't want to travel too far from work. I decided to give this restaurant another try. It wasn't bad, really. While I've definately had better, it did satisfy my craving and was good. I also ordered the pork eggrolls. They were a bit oily/mushy on the inside, which I normally don't like, but the flavor was good and the outside wasn't that oily and very crispy so I think it balanced out. Since I found something I liked, I updated my review and rating. I think I'll be back to try some other things at some point.

So, some pros and cons to this place. I 've been here 2 times on Saturday afternoons for reference. Pros- It has nice decor. The food tastes good. You 're seated quickly. The food is prepared relatively quickly. Cons- The wait staff were in jeans and a t-shirt both times. It was difficult to get the attention of our waiter to get the check both times. I was able to watch the mango lemonade be made by our waiter by them pouring mango syrup into the cup, and then using soda fountain lemonade to fill it the rest of the way. Not blaming the waiter for this, but I didn 't want to see that, and I don 't think most people would. The second time I went there the yellow chicken curry gave me intestinal distress. Prices seemed a little bit higher than expected for the kind of food and service provided. I don 't care how the wait staff dresses, or if I see my lemonade get made. But the lack of thought that has gone into the front of house makes me a bit nervous about how the food is kept and prepared.
