Best food ever . Pad tai is always fresh and delicious, spring rolls a must . Wish they would have delivery as pick up is always an issue on Ouellette ave

Love their food. My favorite is the pad thai and mango salad. Their sticky rice is also great. We will be back!

Please Basil Court, STAY STRONG during Covid! I have been ordering much more than we need as a Basil Court stimulus package! Everything is always so amazing, it is by far the best Thai in Windsor. Going to keep ordering and exploring the vast menu, and I am sure it'll never disappoint :)

So I wanted to try this place based on a recommendation from someone. Know that this place is in the basement. I knew it was beforehand but my hubby didn't. We arrived to the restaurant in the basement and no one was dining. We were a bit early for dinner (it was about 530p) and we were initially concerned that no one was there. We were seated quickly and ordered. The Thai spring rolls are amazing. You get 4 of them and they're nice and crispy and come with dipping sauce. My entree was chicken and I ordered a side of rice. I like that you can choose the spiciness of your food. Medium spicy was just right. The chicken was good and came with a dipping sauce but didn't have much flavor in terms of seasoning. My hubby orders noodles and said they were a bit greasy. It's kind of a nondescript place with tan walls and of course no windows. Could be livened up a bit. I might try it again but I think I'd do take out next time.

This visit I decided to try something new for lunch so I ordered the green curry chicken (includes eggplant, green beans, and bamboo shoots). I also had a bowl of their tom yum goong (tiger shrimp) soup. I settled with a medium level of spice. Their soup is one of my favourites in the city. Sometimes I just come in for the soup or soup and their Thai spring rolls. I was nervous about the green curry chicken because I'm not a big fan of coconut milk. Sometimes it gets too creamy for me and I get nauseous but other times it's a solid 10. So basically a Russian roulette for my stomach woo! The green curry was a lot lighter in colour than I thought it'd be BUT IT WAS GREAT! I should've gone for hot spice but that's okay. The coconut milk was subtle and did not impact the flavour. I scarfed my entire meal down. Personally, I'm happy with the amount of rice that comes with it! If it's a favourite place of mine, sometimes I get hesitant to order something new. I don't know why. But trying new things at Basil Court is a great decision because of their lunch special prices!

I am knocking off a star for two easily fixed reasons... First: I'd never dined alone here, only done take out or come with someone else. With no decent mobile coverage and no wifi, a/c cranked way high and glum basement surroundings, this place becomes JAIL. At a minimum please purchase a wireless modem and join 2013. Thank you! Second: my VERY tasty seafood curry was chock full of potatoes. A TON of them. Good taste, good spice, but why so much? Ease up Totally willing to review after a future visit.

I'm still working to match Basil Court up here in Ottawa - this was very easily our favourite Thai place in Windsor. When you first enter the restaurant you may think to yourself "What have I gotten myself into?" as you head down the glass staircase to the restaurant, which is below street level? But press on - it's worth it! Once you get in here the place is pretty big and could easily accomodate a crowd. We've been here for date nights and with groups as large as twenty people and everything has always been good. Our favourite dishes are the Thai spring rolls, pad thai (so good), yellow curry chicken, green curry shrimp... and actually, everything. This place is so good. The reviewer who says when you move away from Windsor all you can think about if you think "Thai" is Basil Court is spot on.
