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.

    Great location, but food is mediocre. Do not get the spring rolls.

    We enjoy Thai food, and are used to being asked how spicy we want our entrees. We weren't, which might have been a sign. All the dishes -- green curry, Thai basil, and pad Thai were only lightly spiced. The rice served with the sauce dishes was quite dry, as well. The shrimp and basil rolls were uninteresting, containing only noodles, a shrimp and a basil leaf. The dipping sauce was lively, but cold rolls at other Thai restaurants have had more flavor. Overall the food was very disappointing. The good news: the leftover green curry found its spiciness when reheated the next day, and 2 teaspoons of pad Thai sauce from the local grocery brought the leftover pad thai up to par. Other pluses: The entrees were large enough so that there were leftovers, and our server was happy to double-bag them for our trip home, so the car wouldn't smell like a kitchen.

    I visited the location in Charlotte and I really liked the Lichee martini there but in the GVL location tasted like medicine, a lil disappointed by that but the food was delicious.

    The atmosphere is fine but the waiter, while pleasant, was a bit weird. He spoke so low that we couldn’t hear him and we were finished with our appetizer way before our entree order was taken. I can understand if it were busy but it wasn’t. Also, the lady spraying the tables with some substance sprayed me and the man at the other table. It even got in his water. Don’t think he was very happy about that. The meal I wanted I couldn’t even get because they were out of it or whatever the waiter said. The pad Thai was not good. The noodles tasted as if they had been sitting under a hot lamp for an hour and there was not much of a taste. The wonton appetizer was decent.
