Basil Thai Cafe
Jul 29, 2009 by PSO from Elk Grove Village
Overall Rating: 8
Food:[9] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Amazing taste.
• High prices and low quantity.

“I have frequented this restaurant for over 10 years now. The taste of the food is amazing! Their best dishes in my opinion are Basil Fried Rice (Beef), Tom Yum Noodle Soup (Thai style with ground chicken, Basil Chicken (Thai style), and Pad Kee Mao with Beef. Over the years the portions have gotten smaller and the prices have increased. But still one of the better Thai restaurants in terms of taste in town.”

• Amazing food. Fast, courteous service.
• Needs more intimate seating. Cold air vent was right under chair.

“My partner and I were there for the first time and had a lovely dinner and highly recommend this restaurant. It was Saturday night and I was half expecting a long wait between drinks and courses but the waitress was very timely and courteous and answered all my silly questions like "How does one eat stinging nettles?" My starter was a white-bean & stinging nettle soup and it was very delicious but it absolutely paled in comparison to my partner's salmon starter which I cannot recall the exact name of but it was tangy and delicious! I was not as disappointed with my blue prawns and scallops. However, the saffron sauce broth was one of the most subtle and delicious flavors I have ever tasted. For dessert we had banana bread pudding and a chocolate tart get the tart I have never had French press coffee but while I was waiting for some sugar I tasted it with my usual half-a-cow's worth of cream and decided that I didn't need any sugar so it was very good. As for the atmosphere, I felt a little on display but it was kind of fun and I got over it quickly. The restaurant is not a "family" restaurant by any stretch and I hope it remains so. Screaming kids are no fun anywhere. This is some place you should go with someone special to enjoy a meal you will likely remember for a long time. We will definitely be back.”

“Bob Evans can always be counted on for good food in a clean and friendly atmosphere. For a quick meal you can't find a better place. Also the customers are of a quality I am not uncomfortable.”

Village Inn Restaurant

• Great food and excellent service.
• When the place is "full" it is hard to move around.

“When I was a kid my dad would take me to Village Inn to play the games in the back. I loved going there. I take my son there now when I am in town. The Nachos are huge and a complete meal. I like the extra crispy pizza. It reminds me of the "original" Monicas Extra crispy before it was corporative. It is locally owned.”
