"Absolutely love Thai food, and I 'm always on the prowl for those sneaky hole in the wall joints that secretly slay the Thai game. Well, folks, I 've cracked the code with this one! ‍ Let 's kick things off with apps, shall we? You know I had to kick it off with a Thai iced tea, served in this ridiculously adorable mug it 's like they knew I needed a dose of cuteness! Don 't forget to give it a good stir; otherwise, it 's a one way ticket to Sugarville! Then, we ventured into the world of crab Rangoons, and just typing this makes me crave 'em right now cheesy, crispy, pure yumminess that 's out of this world! Now, to balance out all that delicious indulgence, we ordered the avocado rolls, and trust me, it was the right call. The dipping sauce was like a flavor fiesta in my mouth! For the main event, I went all in with the pineapple curry, and holy cow, it was like a flavor explosion that took over my entire being. They 're not kidding about the spice levels, starting at a 3, and I 'm over here like, Whoa, that 's spicy! But hey, it didn 't stop me! Now, when I say this place is a hole in the wall, I mean it. Picture this: at most, three tables! We lucked out and snagged a spot when it wasn 't too crowded. Honestly, part of me hates to even leave this review because I 'm basically inviting more competition to score a table. If you 're not a fan of cozy spaces, consider takeout. But if you do dine in, you 'll meet the friendliest, most helpful waiter ever. Seriously,it 's like he 's been sprinkled with hospitality dust. But, okay, fine, I 'll share the secret... and my new favorite Thai place just this once! In all seriousness, do yourself a favor and check this place out it 's a tiny treasure trove of Thai flavors that 'll leave your taste buds dancing!"

"Were I rating this as a carry out, the food having been excellent, I’d be giving it a higher overall rating. BUT, the management of the front of the house will have to go a long way to become barely competent as purveyors of hospitality. We had made reservations thru Open Table, confirmed for On arrival, I told the server that we were the Davis Party, reserved thru Open Table. He said, “we have vacant tables, no reservation is needed.” I pointed out that we wanted to be recorded as having kept our reservation as we do save the award-points. Then he indicated, that, actually, Thai Basil (Upper Arlington) had not started up with OT (REALLY! how is it that they appeared on the OT App, with openings designated throughout the evening and that I had received confirmation from OT of my reservation We were struck by the...er...Spartan furnishings of the eatery. Alright for a pizza takeout, but not to the standards one has for a sit-down restaurant in Darkness outside, the dining area was grotesquely lit with available lighting short of lumens, at the blue end of the color range. The effect was, even for those of us having taken pains to appear human and healthy, everyone evoked a hue of the recently late; a little queasy-inducing. When the food had been served, the sweet potato pakora needed salt. Salt and pepper not being a feature at our table, I requested salt from the server. About ten minutes later, salt and pepper, in dipping dishes, was delivered with the comment, “We’ve been open for six weeks and no one ever needed salt and pepper before.” (For the second time, REALLY?"
