What Spenny likes about Basil Box:
Very easy to get something vegan and delicious. You pick rice or noodles for a base and add veggies, tofu, and sauce. Quick, good price, delicious, filling. The service was lovely and my omni partner was satisfied too. Awesome spot! View all feedback. What Salatah G doesn't like about Basil Box:
The served me RAW shrimps. Not even slightly cooked. And i ordered shrimp bowl with extra shrimps, i got a chicken bowl with raw shrimps thrown there. Whoever closed the place on tuesday night should be fired. Disgusting. Also, 5 dollars extra for 4 pieces of tiny RAW shrimpsEDIT: i reached out as they asked and no reply.. just for show View all feedback.

This place saved me in Toronto when I needed something fast and easy. I lived on the Tofu rice bowls.

Like a subway or chipotle, Thai style. You add articles like you go to build your meal. Fast and good. Limited options for vegans. If I could repeat my order, I...

Very good. We built your own boxes. Tofu was delicious, but it was only option for protein. Updated by previous review on 2022-01-02

I wish the food was a little more flavourful. Some items are really good though! It really depends on what you get.

Customizable boxes, some vegan options available. Tasty! Recommend the coconut-curry Tofu in your Box! Updated from previous review on 2021-07-09

Basil Box offers a customizable dining experience that combines the fast-casual model of places like Subway with vibrant Thai flavors. Guests can select their preferred bases, proteins, and sauces for a bespoke meal, with a strong emphasis on vegetarian and vegan options. While the food quality generally impresses—with dishes such as coconut curry and vegan noodles receiving praise—some patrons have reported inconsistencies, including issues with undercooked ingredients. The ambiance is welcoming, and service is typically attentive, although some feel prices can be steep. Overall, it’s a fresh and flavorful spot worth exploring for Thai cuisine enthusiasts.

Basil box is a great option when you are with meat eating friends. They serve tofu and have a few options to go with. Price was decent for a meal.

I've tried this place like three times but they continue to disappoint me, all flavorless and dry. Didn't even put any sauce on my fries.

I love this place. For a quick bite, no fuss, no drama. Just order a box, fine tune it the way you like, sit and eat. $14 with a drink.
