Upon entering Basil n’ Spice, I loved the décor and layout. It felt intimate and welcoming. Plus, I was excited to have some Thai cuisine.
To start, I ordered the Island Thai Tea, which is classic Thai iced tea with a kick of rum. Delicious!
For an appetizer, we ordered the chicken wings. They were cooked just how I like them–super crispy. The flavors were slightly lacking but since they were cooked so well I still enjoyed them.
I selected Ginger Chicken for my meal. That includes red and green bell peppers, onion, carrot, snow peas, mushrooms, baby corn and scallion with a ginger sauce. The flavors were spot on and the serving size was enough to share if you had multiple dishes. I did, however, use the sauce in my partners dish to dip my chicken several times. He had the incredible Duck Choo Chee.
The service at Basil n’ Spice was top-notch. We had several attentive staff members serving us. One of the owners even pitched in.
Overall I liked Basil n’ Spice. I would try it again. The next time I go I will do two things differently. I will order the Chicken Choo Chee. It might require a special order because it wasn’t listed with chicken, but that sauce was just so fantastic. I would also go for a cocktail and sit at the great bar rather than a table.
