We have been for dinner a few times. A small ethnic restaurant with character, friendly staff and tasty food.Not fine dining but definitely a place we enjoy and which we will go back to. So very NYC with its neighborhood restaurants and cosmopolitan character. And, oh, the Drunken Noodles were excellent.

Very nice spot with a variety of options! Went here for a weekday lunch with a friend and was not disappointed. People are friendly and quantities are very filling. Can add this to lunch menu rotation.

The cutest most welcoming space. Amazing staff and delicious food. I went for lunch and they had a great special. The red curry is mouthwatering and the Crispy duck was perfect. I’ll be back to try the rest of the menu. I strongly recommend this place. Thank you!

Everything I ordered at Little Basil was delicious. Tried their Little Basil wings which were fried perfectly. Ended up ordering more. Curry puffs were light and airy, but I wish the order came with more than 3. Their pork spare ribs were flavorful and paired with a good sauce. Their mango sticky rice was exactly what I needed. Mangos were fresh and the rice provided the right amount of sweetness to go with my other dishes. Little Basil is such a cute spot, looking forward to revisiting!

I live right down the road from here and it’s me and my boyfriend’s all time favorite place in the city! The panang curry is TO DIE FOR!! Their lunch special is awesome!! On special nights we get the pineapple duck curry cause it’s the best thing on this planet I swear on everything you have to try it!! We go here almost 2-3 times a week sometimes cause we just can’t get enough of it! Not to mention the amazing ambiance, I loveee how dimly lit it is at night!! Such a vibe with such amazing food!!! Such sweet wait staff aswell!! Shoutout to Penny and Emmy ❤️

Underwhelming… food didn’t taste good. Only thing I liked was their gyoza. If you go for their lunch special, it’ll come with soup/salad, and choices of appetizer (spring roll, gyoza, dumplings, etc) but otherwise, I don’t recommend because you can get better food elsewhere. Service was great though, waitress was attentive and friendly. The beef noodle soup’s noodle to broth ratio was off. There was too much noodles and broth was mid. My friend didn’t like her squid because she said it didn’t taste fresh, but frozen. The food here is not terrible, just not great. Maybe we just ordered the wrong items…
