The Basil Leaf Sushi and Thai Restaurant

Basil Leaf has beautiful ambience. The site has a cool European feel with lovely lighting and a cute bar area. Our party had multiple dishes and it was a mixed bag flavorwise. The Orange Dragon Roll was a big hit. Very fresh and interesting flavors with the tempura shrimp filling. Spring rolls were cooked well but would really benefit from additional seasonings. They were just a little bland. Sweet and sour chicken was cooked nicely and vegetables were perfectly crisp. Chicken was tender and delicious, but again, the dish just lacked flavor. Teriyaki steak was a nice dish but the steak was medium rare rather than the medium ordered. That may just be the chef's preference. Full disclosure, the Teriyaki steak dish was prepared as a gluten free, so overall the flavor was not exactly as expected but the chef tried to accommodate. Cut of the steak was good quality. Overall a nice experience, but we weren't wowed by the food. Thai food should burst with flavor and these dishes were just okay. I'm leaving a 4 star review because the atmosphere was really lovely and we will give them another chance with the food.

Food was delicious and portions were huge!! Definitely will be back. They had options for both vegetarian and gluten free, including gluten free soy sauce!
