What sets this Thai restaurant apart is its stylish interior crafted by
co-owner Todd Sirimongkolvit, an architecture student at UC Berkeley. The
wall between the restaurant and the building next door has been opened up
with floor-to-ceiling glass bricks, and the large expanses have been broken
up with yellow columns. The concrete-topped bar is backed with a midnight-blue
wall; the same color is picked up on the glass shades of arched chrome wall
sconces on the opposite wall. White tablecloths covered with white paper,
bistro-style chairs, a dark wood floor and huge flower arrangements at the
door complete the modern look.

 e've been
working up to a real roll here! We're approaching our six-year mark and all
of us at Basil: Num (Todd), Boom, Joob, Jib, Dannie, Yao, Ace, Pak, Cherleen,
Kasorn, Savannah, Tee, Sea, Ang, Yai, Gogh, Pop1, Pop2, Noo, Phorn, Noi,
Charn, Korn, Odd, Jose, Quan,.. would like to thank-you for helping us come
this far with our goals. We hope you've enjoyed the food. We've been working
hard to bring the best of the Thai spirit to the Bay Area and if you haven't
noticed yet that includes loads of fun and damn good food. (those of you who
have experience this first hand, only know so well)
e've been focusing our mind on
Thai-centricity and felt that someone ought to bring it over to San Francisco
through the spices, nectar, and sounds, to offer you a taste of what the
other side of Thai is about, giving you a glimspe of the young Thai spirit,
which has been forever fueled by a steady undercurrent of pride in spirit and
identity, and a sense of the immense amount of energy penting up, under (south),
over (east), there in Bangkok.
e're forward , We're very Thai,
and We're HERE! We hope you join us in our mission to give all those who are
curious, a sense of the Bangkok atmosphere. Thanks for all your
support
