  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.

  Just had delivery from Basil Court.  Not impressed at all. The Pad Thai literally had  1 chunk of chicken and 2 shrimp mixed in with the mushy noodles. I had the fried tofu as others suggested on it ...not good at all .I should have just made a mushy linguini with sriracha because that's pretty much what I got. Also the Thai spring rolls are tiny bite size with a little bit of plum suace. Finally the beef satay, 4 tiny bits ..the peanut sauce was bland , basically peanut butter watered down.. this order came to $35.00 with delivery fee and a charge because I used visa.. I usually try to find something good to say..but with this order I can't..Maybe a bad day there ? I won't order again ..too many other super places around town

  The food here is ok, if you can get it in time.  They need a point of sale device or they need to replace that lady in the front with a track star.  She tries hard but can't run the orders to the back fast enough, on top of that she serves tables and is the cashier.  They have no concept of time no concept of the fact that during weekdays their customers are downtown employees who have time limits for lunch. If you order at 11:30 AM and say you will pick it up at 12:30 or if they tell you they need an hour or 45 minutes, you'll be lucky to get your food by 12:55pm. A pos system would eliminate the need for running orders back and wasting time.  They need to improve their service.

  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!

  The service was great but this was by far the worst food I've ever had. I had the eggplant and coconut dish. It was in some sort of gravy and the eggplant was very freaky. My sister orders the pad Thai and it tasted like cleaning product and I think the chicken was rotten. Very shocked at the other reviews!
