Description

Sweet Basil Thai Cuisine is nestled in a sleepy part of the sleepy city of Foster City. But you can be assured that Sweet Basil's food is not sleepy. It's vibrant, colorful and explodes with flavor. Appetizers include chicken satay, spring rolls, fresh salad rolls, crispy tofu and others. The Moretom yum and tom kha soups are not to be missed. Salads are also on the menu like som tom, (papaya salad), beef salad, tofu salad or shrimp salad. Scrumptious entrees like pad krapow, (sweet basil) with your choice of chicken, pork, beef, shrimp or veggie is one our best selling entrees. However, you choices don't stop there. You might want to try the garlic and pepper, cashew nut, sweet and sour or any of the other entrees. Don't forget the fried rice dishes. Pineapple fried rice and Thai fried rice are also very popular. A vegetarian menu is also available. Care for desert. Try the fried banana with Michell's coconut ice cream. Chef Monpiji, born and raised in Thailand, along with her husband Keith have owned and operated Sweet Basil Thai Cuisine since they opened the restaurant in July of 2007. Stop by for a delightful dining experience.

How can I sit in your cold, wooden seat chilled from my head all the way to my feet? I tell you it's cold, you smile and pour tea but that is not enough, you see! AM I NOT WORTH THE PG&E?

  • Rating: 5.0 out of 5"by Jim D. at Yelp User Review1/27/2013I'm certainly not a Thai expert but have had my share in SFO. The food here is presented beautifully and has deep rich flavors. We had the papaya salad, spicy, fresh and crisp.The yellow Chicken Curry was rich and complex. The Pad Thai, ( vegetarian ) was cooked perfectly and noodles were just right. We'll be back.
