Plenty of clearly marked options - Edit
We loved this spot in Carson City! The menu provided tons of vegan options, as you could choice tofu as your protein for lots of the dishes. The staff seemed very knowledgeable about what to do to make the dishes vegan, and vegan options were clearly marked. Not to mention food was delish!

AMAZING FOOD - Edit
This place is very often busy, understandably so because their Thai food is exceptionally delicious. Thai food is my favorite cuisine and I would say this is the best thai restaurant I have ever been to. Period!! They even have a vegan menu that shows what items can be veganized.

Cons: Busy, Closed from 2:30-5

Delicious. A little pricy. - Edit
Many items can be altered vegan. They have a separate printed menu where they label the options that can be vegan that you can request. (I uploaded it) My husband and I got the Spicy Basil (not spicy at all, request chili sauce if you prefer) and the Pad see ew. Both with tofu added. As an appetizer we got the mango roll, which was a nice and refreshing spring roll of veggies, tofu, mango and greens wrapped in rice paper and cut into 8 pieces. I'm not sure it was worth the $9 but it was ok. Entire bill for 1 app and 2 entries, no Bev was $42 before tip.

Great place for vegans - Edit
I was greeted by the head chef who graciously welcomed me and let me know I was “in the right place for vegans”. Lots of options and a special menu for vegans. I only wish I had discovered it sooner! The spicy eggplant with tofu was scrumptious - highly recommend. I left satisfied and will definitely return.

Delicious Thai food - Edit
Tasty and authentic Thai food, with many vegan options clearly marked in a separate menu. Everything we tried was delicious, we ate there twice during our stay in Carson city. Highly recommended!

Nice Thai Food - Edit
Used Happy Cow to find this spot while driving through on a road trip. Main menu didn’t have anything clearly marked. A separate menu had vegan items clearly marked though and the server was happy to help with veg. Dishes had a lot of fresh veggies, which was great. Unlike some places that has two vegetables in the dish or use a frozen vegetable medley from Costco. Two apps and two entrees with no drinks was $65 after tip. A little pricey for Thai in my book. One dish was bland, the other three were good.

Vegan items clearly marked on special menu. The servers were very helpful, answering questions about how meals were prepared. I loved the Spicy Eggplant with tofu over rice. I would go again!

Great find! - Edit
This is a cute restaurant with great food. I am so glad we decided to give it a try. The waitress made sure we were getting the right kind food when she found out we were vegan. Everything was fresh and tasted great.

very knowledgeable and delicious - Edit
I truly enjoyed my dinner here. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and truly understood veganism. I ordered the mango rolls as suggested and I SO glad I did! If you are there for dinner don't miss out on them! I then ordered the spicy green bean easily made vegan. The tofu and veggies were so good in what I consider a very mild sauce. If your in Carson City I highly recommend this place!

Vegetarian and Vegan, They cook like you want. - Edit
The service was excellent. The menu had many choices and they will cook anything you want vegetarian or vegan. The food was fantastic. I have been to Thailand and had authentic Thai food and the food here was as good or better than the food in Thailand.

Great meal in Carson City - Edit
We love this place. Second time in town and had to come back. Excellent food and friendly service. There is a great understanding of what vegan means here. If the Mango spring roll is on the menu, get it. Delicious. Most meals can be made without meat and/or with tofu. Great flavors. Great vegan place in the middle of a city that does not offer a lot of vegan options.

Basil is the bomb - Edit
we love this place. We are vegan and my parents who live in Carson City are die hard adherents of the SAD diet. Basil accommodates us as vegans in a very friendly and delicious way. All of us are happy with our meals every time. We love the Mango Rolls and the Green Papaya Salad as well as the Thom Ka Ghay soup made vegan. Their curries are excellent with fresh veggies and lots of flavor. They also make a great vegan Pad Thai if you request it.

The Basil - wonderful dining experience - Edit
My earlier review was based upon the lunch menu. For this review, my wife and I had the pleasure of having dinner. While lunch at the Basil is a treat; dinner is even better. Although non-vegetarian items are served, one aspect of The Basil I appreciate is the lack of any meat-cooking odors. Also, we had the opportunity to meet the owner, herself a vegetarian. When I commented that I have always found questions concerning eggs and animal source ingredients handled with clear understanding, and that I was very impressed with the level of her wait-staff's understanding of vegetarian concerns, she said she has spent a lot of time educating them.
Read moreThe dinner menu contains numerous vegetarian options. We started dinner off with a suggestion from the owner to try the mango spring rolls. They were beyond wonderful. Next, we tried the green papaya salad and it was a huge hit. For our main courses, my wife ordered tofu and broccoli in a peanut sauce, and I ordered the panang curry with tofu. Dinner was wonderful. The artistic presentation of the dinner items reflects the owner's desire to promote her cultural heritage, and her wish that people will appreciate the care with which each item is prepared. Lastly, we shared a desert of homemade coconut ice cream. All I will say about desert, is that should you be so fortunate as to dine here, order this desert. Again, I give The Basil the highest rating I can. Although they serve non-veg items, they are beyond friendly to vegetarian guests.
Pros: Extrememly clean, Friendly and knowlegeable staff, Wonderful food
Cons: The Basil is a four hour drive for me!
