Thai Basil, Capitola CA

This is the best place to eat in all of Santa Cruz! It’s a very small family run business and the family is so sweet! There is not to many seating options but the beach is right around the corner. The food is the best I’ve ever had! Highly suggest if your in the mood for Thai food.

Best Thai food in Santa Cruz hands down. Their curry dishes have levels of spice which are actually insanely spicy which I love since most places will just add a little slice and call it hot.

Easily my favorite Thai place in Santa Cruz. The pad Thai is always perfect and the people running it are some of the nicest I’ve ever met.

They just reopened the dining room so there is inside seating again and the heat lamps over the tables outside are awesome as well.

Definitely the best tasting Thai food restaurant in Santa Cruz county. Everything was fresh and flavorful. We ordered online and picked it up and ate at home. Customer service was fantastic. Super sweet and professional. We will definitely be back, and glad we are local!

Best Thai place in town. The spice scale is perfect. The customer service is 10/10 polite and attentive. I saw some old reviews complaining about the service but I just can’t imagine that here. Every time I’ve come by the people here are so kind and always asking questions to make sure everything is OK without being overbearing.

The food service is timely, not slow, and everything is seasoned SO well. NOTHING is bland or overdone, I can’t believe I have to say that. But I’ve tried places in town where it IS bland or TOO sweet. Definitely worth a try if you’re hankering for Thai!

Food is okay; however, they're never open despite what their website says. I don't know how they manage to stay in the village.

The food was excellent. The pineapple with yellow curry was fantastic. The Pod Thai was also very tasty. Great service. Outside dining.

Their sign says the place is open, but there's no one to answer, and the door is locked. This is on a Saturday at noon, which should be a busy time for any restaurant.

We had veggies with basil with pork (spice level 4) Really Also had rice, Eggplant veggies w/tofu, Yummy. The service was good the food was delicious. ️ Best Thai food ever ️️

We had amazing friendly service and the food was so amazing, packed with flavor! Now one of our favorite spots for thai food.

If you have not eaten at Thai Basil then you have been missing out! Extensive menu, lots of variety, and great service! The veggies used are always so fresh and amazing. The chicken is tender and the sauces and spices are literally enough to make this our regular go to place (we have been doing take out since COVID) and are always disappointed when our Thai Basil cravings get denied when they happen to be closed (Wednesdays). How good are they? Well we have been ordering double orders of each dish because it makes for great leftovers and if we only ordered one order of each there wouldn't be any left!

Amazing food! There wasn't any indoor seating (at least when I went, just small tables outside), but the food was delici, the service exceptional (Natalie was amazing and so sweet!) and it was great.especially in such a beautiful place, the charming village of Capitola on the beach.

I have yet to find a better Thai restaurant anywhere. Tried places all over the Bay Area, in addition to cities around the U. S. I feel lucky it's so close to home. I only wish it was open later.
