About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Vegetarian-friendly

We invite you to celebrate refined Thai cuisine and an invigorating dining experience in the heart of Charleston, Mt Pleasant and Columbia, SC and Charlotte, NC.

Basil is the realization of the lifelong dream of Henry and Chai Eang, brothers who immigrated to the United States from turbulent 1970s Cambodia. From speaking not a word of English, to creating award-winning dining experiences throughout the Carolinas, the duo has married hard work with passion to bring authentic Thai cuisine to their new home.

Since opening the first Basil in Charleston to rave reviews, several trendy locations have followed over the last dozen years. Basil’s infectious atmosphere centers around a dynamic kitchen as the sound of heat to metal, blade to board and liquid to flame resonate throughout the restaurant. Each space stylishly appointed to reflect the culture and energy of the noteworthy Southern cities they inhabit.

Basil Thai never disappoints with excellent food and great service. Spring rolls with fresh and delicious. Absolutely loved the Steak salad - so tasty, fresh and crisp with perfectly seasoned steak.

Until last night, this was my favorite Thai establishment. My birthday was ruined by this experience. Our food sat in the window forever. The table that was seated after us with the same lethargic indifferent waiter, Devan, was getting up and leaving by the time our food arrived. My dish was missing the main ingredient. I ordered the Basil stir fry with pork and there was no basil in it. Asked the waiter about it and he said, “I’ll get you some.” It came in a tiny cup dish and was covered with black spots. I only ate half my meal and brought the rest home. After I got home, I spent the rest of the evening in the bathroom ill. Never going back.

We were seated right away and brought drinks and our appetizer promptly, but then had to wait 40 minutes to get our food. We then had to ask for our check right away and rushed through eating to get to a show on time. The food was fine, but not great.
