About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Healthy
  • Lively
We invite you to celebrate refined Thai cuisine and an invigorating dining experience in the heart of Charleston, Mt Pleasant and Columbia, SC and Charlotte, NC.

Basil is the realization of the lifelong dream of Henry and Chai Eang, brothers who immigrated to the United States from turbulent 1970s Cambodia. From speaking not a word of English, to creating award-winning dining experiences throughout the Carolinas, the duo has married hard work with passion to bring authentic Thai cuisine to their new home.

Since opening the first Basil in Charleston to rave reviews, several trendy locations have followed over the last dozen years. Basil’s infectious atmosphere centers around a dynamic kitchen as the sound of heat to metal, blade to board and liquid to flame resonate throughout the restaurant. Each space stylishly appointed to reflect the culture and energy of the noteworthy Southern cities they inhabit.

    A terrific experience whether you’re familiar with Thai food or not. Something for everyone (with or without heat🤩). We would definitely go again!

    Food took a very long time and the waitress was a little stressed therefore she was a little sarcastic and defensive.

    The quality of the food was not worth the price and the service was mediocre at best. Plenty of other great Thai places in Charlotte!!

    This is a wonderful upscale restaurant with a caring owner and a very attentive wait staff. The lamb chops were perfectly seared and medium rare! We will be back - 100%

FAQs

Yes, Basil is a small regional group: the description lists locations in Charleston, Mount Pleasant and Columbia, SC, as well as Charlotte, NC.

For a quieter visit, time your trip near opening or at lunch, guests report arriving around opening for dinner with staff ready, and a 1:00 pm lunch visit was “not busy at all”; it’s also a popular, relaxed pre‑theater/pre‑concert dinner spot.

Yes, families are welcomed: guests brought children (including during Restaurant Week) and praised patient, attentive servers who made kids feel comfortable.

Yes, many guests recommend Basil for date nights and anniversaries, noting a cozy, conversation-friendly atmosphere and successful Valentine’s Day visits.

Basil pairs a dynamic, open kitchen with stylishly appointed dining rooms, giving an energetic, welcoming feel, and the private dining room provides a quieter, calm option for events.

Guests describe portions as generous and filling, dishes are often shareable and suited for splitting.

Basil Thai can get especially busy on holiday and special-event nights, reviewers noted overbooking and crowded service on Valentine’s Day, while Sunday evenings and some weekday lunches have been described as noticeably quiet.

Business casual is the guide here, aim for neat, polished attire (it’s a spot many guests choose for date nights and anniversaries).
