Basil Rice

A great Thai restaurant in the heart of Coolidge corner. Seating in the restaurant and smell the food feels like I'm in Thailand again!

My boyfriend eats lunch here ALL the time and I was just dying to try it! I was fully satisfied with this place, loved the food! Taste as good as it looks, super delicious. My son had shrimp fried rice and it was also delicious, the crab ragoon are amazing! Will be visiting again soon. Great stuff!

UberEats order - Pad siu with crispy fish and BBQ wings - all great. I’d avoid the fried/crispy if I could though, it came soggy by the time it arrived. Naturally, not their fault for that. So still 5-stars for taste and value.

It was Snowing outside. Had the mojo ramen. It was just what I needed. Yummy! The girl that took care of me was very pleasant. I thoroughly enjoyed myself

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.

I've been here a few times and was never really disappointed. We ordered a few dishes drunken noodle(my fav), house fried rice orange chicken and they were all good taste wise. I think the noodles is small for price but everything else seemed reasonably priced. This is 1 of the top 3 go to in Brookline.

got one of the curry rices and yum!! so homey and lovely and the service was great!! the lunch special includes two crab rangoons which was actually the bestttttt so great :)

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 had ordered Korean Bibimbap Rice, Drunken noodles and Crab Rangoon. It was good, I liked the portion size and taste. Drunken noodles were lil sticky but overall loved it. I’m posting review because I saw a lot of negative reviews which I don’t think is true. You should definitely try once! :)

This is my spot Like everything is good, everything!!! I'm thinking their only stipulation is you have to be into yummy stuff (innocent guess, don't hold me to it). I haven't tried everything (life goal, obvi), but what I have ordered in the past thus far had me always floating on clouds, bopping my head to imaginary music. Ingredients are so fresh and very simple. They graciously provide you with veggies you can easily recognize (none of that dreaded guessing game of "is that little object meat, some sort of nut, tofu, or a piece of plastic). It's actually the simplicity of fresh ingredients combined with robust flavors that make their dish. Their meat is so finger licking good (except you eat it with a fork/chopsticks and most of the meat is grilled and not fried). The food is oh so comforting . Teriyaki hands, hands down and just respect it. I'm not a dietitian or nutritionist, but it's apparent from the dishes that they lean more on the healthier side. Don't buy up everything fried and say "I'm sticking to my diet," but I believe there are an abundant of choices if one was looking for healthier options. Honestly, I usually buy two plates of whatever before going into work and save one of the plates for the next day; still the same awesomeness and freshness the following day. Oh my goodness.......your girl forgot to mention the prices!!! Their prices are so affordable. Two meals for like 20 bucks and some change. Beef is extra, of course (I'm sure it's to compensate for the cows they pluck from the stars). I have kindly incorporated their menu with this post. Yeah, yeah, I know I'm not a photographer and the glare is annoying, but it was that or their yellow takeout menu - had to make an executive decision. Also, it's all types of Asian cuisine in a quaint, cute spot. You can takeout, which most people do, or eat there. It's not huge, but there's enough seating for customers - wouldn't book it for an engagement dinner though. The place is kept clean as well. They have desserts which I can't comment on at this point since I haven't tried them, but they do look delish. Look, go there and just go there, and then keep on going there.
