Hot Basil Thai Cafe

This is our go-to Thai place in Hartford County. The food is great, staff are extremely friendly, and the prices are good. Portions = hearty. Highly recommend: Spicy Hot Basil Noodles Basil Fried Rice Green Curry They handily accommodate vegan and gluten free diets, sometimes in the same dish. The fried tofu is incredible. Dine in if you can, getting it fresh from the kitchen beats having it sit in a box!

The restaurant is cozy, quiet, dimly lit, and warm. Always clean. The service is on-point with kind wait staff and a quick kitchen. They accommodate gluten-free and vegetarian/vegan preferences easily and make sure the food is labeled as such. They have tofu and fried tofu, and I highly recommend the latter. My favorite thing there is peanut stir fry - so good. They serve mango sticky rice even when mangoes are out of season, so I recommend waiting until they're fresh for that!! Update: this place is still so good. They have a dedicated vegan menu on UberEATS now and will put the dryer dishes in paper containers upon request.
