Absolutely fantastic! My husband and I have been looking for a new sushi resturaunt since we left Dallas and I think we found it here! You can taste the freshness of the fish, even the soy sauce that they offer is excellent aged soy sauce not gross American kikoman, they gave us fresh wasabi with our lovers sushi boat which was a treat, I had heard it was very different from Wasabi paste which is mixed with horseradish and got to compare the two as they also gave the paste version, definitely prefer fresh wasabi it has so much more flavor! We also had an appetizer of the Indian pancake which was tasty, and I had a Thai tea which was absolutely delicious and perfect! We are sushi lovers and will definitely be back!

The lady with an accent who answers calls has absolutely no manners and is just plain ignorant and rude. There are no other words to better describe the way she talked to me and honestly I am appalled. I havent tried the food but I dont even wanna think about trying this place anymore or recommending due to the horrific manner and lack of communication skills of whoever answered the phone. I had canceled my Uber eats order only about 1-2 minutes after placing it but was still charged for the whole meal. I called Uber eats and was told to call the restaurant with my order number and tell them that I will pick it up and I will not be charged extra since I was already charged the whole thing for cancelling. I called the restaurant and explained my situation. The lady told me Ill have to pay again but with an attitude if you call to make an order, then you have to pay...as if I dont know how a normal takeout order works. This is just one example of the things she said. I was only doing what I was told by Uber eats and she couldve been just a little more polite about it all. I ended up having to do a 3-way call because they wanted to confirm the restaurant hadnt started preparing the meal yet when I canceled and the lady answered you cancel the order - there is no reason for us to make your food. ... lol my goodness. They just wanted to confirm that the order was not started on thats all... I usually dont even leave bad reviews unless I have truly bad experiences and I just wanted to let the restaurant know thats not how you talk to someone especially if youre the one wanting to stay in business.

Usually not a fan of shopping center restaurants, but this place is different. The staff is friendly, atmosphere is quaint, and the food is good. Currently am on a Pad Thai kick. Unfortunately, it can be very hit or miss. When it hits it HITS, but when it misses it is sadly off. It is either wayyy to spicy at times or on the other end very bland and forgettable. It appears that their weekend cook is better than their evening cook. Hopefully the taste of the dish normalizes.

Vegetarian options: Be sure to check they know you want it veggie. I ordered tofu pad see ew assuming it would be with tofu only but it was mixed with chicken. Very strange.

Terrible customer service. My wife asked if it was possible to have any sushi cooked or steamed because she is pregnant, the waiter did not understand & went to retrieve a manager, which wasn t the issue. Her manager came out angry as ever, leaned against the table on the side of us & said you can go to another restaurant, & she replied back nicely, what? She repeated the phrase several more times. My wife, defeated & hurt by the rudeness just said I ll just have the fried rice. I felt so bad I offered to leave but I ordered & she didn t want to leave with me trying this food for the first time.

Came on Friday around 6pm, wasnt busy yet, we got seated right away. Menu is pretty extensive with lots to choose from. For appetizers, we ordered the bao buns. Each bun is super soft with a thick slice of pork belly marinated in bulgogi sauce. My husband ordered the Thai pineapple fried rice, he loved it. Its served in a pineapple with fresh chunks of pineapple mixed into the dish. I ordered the ramen with shrimp, broth isnt salty like most ramen places, it balances nicely with the other ingredients in the ramen. The shrimp are lightly coated with tempura (I think?) and they inlcude plenty of pieces in the ramen. We also got the New York Rolls, very delish & generously filled with seafood. My one complaint was the disinterested answer that Sandy gave when my husband asked which would she recommend- Thai pineapple fried rice or Japanese fried rice- she snapped a bit and answered a very curt I dont know what you like! If you like pineapple get the Thai if you dont like pineapple, get the other one! It didnt really answer the question of which one she recommends or thinks is better...if she had not tried either dish & cant give a good recommendation, she couldve answered that way. The snippy response with mild attitude seemed uncalled for...overall, great food, fast service, would come back again...dont ask recommendations from Sandy...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Basil Cafe in Rockwall, TX, and it was an unforgettable experience. The ambiance was charming, the service impeccable, and the food, simply outstanding. One dish that stole the show was the Angry Dragon Roll, boasting a delectable combination of lobster, caviar, and spicy crab mix on top. Each bite was a burst of flavors that danced on my taste buds. It s a must-try for anyone visiting Basil Cafe. Highly recommended!

It was very interesting and flavorful, as wed never heard of it before. The entrees are huge. They come with a soup or salad. I love the dressing of the salad. My husband had the pineapple fried rice with shrimp. It comes on a huge half of a pineapple. It all tasted grilled. So good! I had the shrimp pad Thai. Its now a favorite of mine. Its a little spicy but so delicious. We shared the hibachi vegetables and they were so yum! We will be back to keep trying all the things as there is so much that sounded so good to us.

This is a recent find, as in November of 2023, since then we ve been 3 times, with this one on Christmas Eve. I m pretty happy with all that we ve found here, for Thai and Japanese food, this last time we had the shrimp ramen, very good and the broth is very deep in flavor. The Lovers Boat is fantastic! It s sashimi, nageri, and a roll, quite tasty and filling. The ambiance is very nice, and they accommodate larger parties. We noticed that the noise level with larger parties is elevated but not so bad you can t hear across the table. If you have a hankering and don t want to drive to Dallas, this should be a stop!

So far this is now my favorite Asian cuisine in Rockwall County. Clean, friendly, good portions, peaceful, low lighting and low music so you can converse at your table. Update: the vegetable fried rice is also delicious! Great and fast take out option.

A somewhat romantic spot. We have passed this place by for years since moving here. Took the boss lady out for lunch and after entering were seated quickly. Very nice decor and clean to boot. I ordered the sashimi special and she the chicken katsu bento box lunch. Both plates came out quick. We started with the tempura sampler, which was delicious. My sashimi was very fresh (if your fish smells fishy, it aint fresh!) with a simple display on the plate. Her bento box was nicely filled with the chicken, rice, and a sushi roll. Ended the meal with the tampura banana, which comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Cant wait to go back.

Very nice atmosphere. Comfortable. Not loud! Food was good, too. Dinner with a friend. We sat and talked a little bit longer than usual. Server did not rush us in anyway. We left a nice tip to make up for it. The seating is tight; very tight -- much closer than most other restaurants in the area. So close its as if the people next to us are in the same conversation. They can clearly hear us and we can clearly hear them. For this reason, I would recommend dining during off peak hours. Dietary restrictions: Two Gluten Free pasta options.

This was my husband and my first time at Basil Cafe. Server was attentive, but I am not impressed by the sushi. Miso soup was delicious. Sushi was good, but PLEASE watch for leaving skin on the salmon in the salmon rolls. We had 2 orders of salmon rolls and both had skin on the fish and the skin itself had to be spit out due to being inedible. (I would ve ate it to be honest, but the skin is hard and can t be chewed) Sashimi platter was nice but we were disappointed about there being no salmon sashimi as it is very popular and usually on sashimi platters everywhere else. I also took a bite out of a piece of tuna and it was VERY fishy. Smell and taste wise.

The new owners really know what theyre doing! Their yellowtail is fantastic. Ive tried several of their options over the last week and everything has been incredible! Im definitely addicted and will be back weekly since its so close to my job. :)

The food was absolutely delicious. I took my bestie here while in town and I couldnt have been more pleased. The shrimp curry, the soup, the mango shrimp and the pork buns OMG the best ever. I was actually mad that I only had two because they were so good. The atmosphere is really quiet and chill. Would be a great place for a date night. I will be back soon. Great food.

Very, very disappointing. We ordered three entrees, and pretty much just paid without eating. Really, really, not good.

Lived in Japan and southeast Asia for nearly 20 years. This place is amazing in all respects. The sushi was fresh and tasted marvelous. The Pad Thai was as good as any Ive had stateside. Fresh and packed with an abundance of large shrimp. The facility is immaculate. Ambience is intimate and comfortable. Service was outstanding. It will be a favorite and regular stop for me.

We walked out even before we ordered. Drinking waters were served in disposable plastic cups. We looked at the only other table there at the time and their food was served in paper plates. Funny thing is, the owner s kid was eating at another table using regular dishes. Menu prices are wayyy too high given the quality of the service. Since they couldn t even seem to be bothered to wash plates/utensils for their paying customers, I didn t want to even take a chance what the food quality would have been like.

Called to place an order and confirmed that they are still not open for dine in services. As soon as I asked she hung on me. I went back to look at the reviews because it appears people have been going inside to eat. I called her back to confirm and she again said no dine in and she was confused why people were saying they had eaten inside. I really miss the food and the ambiance the place once had. I guess it is no more.

Soft music, calming atmosphere, great staff and beyond excellent food. Seeing the pineapple fried rice being served IN A PINEAPPLE, brought a smile to my face. Im pretty sure that this presentation compelled the person sitting beside me, order it as well . Chicken tempura sushi was good too. For my next visit, Im eyeing the coconut shrimp appetizer. Thank you Google for bringing me to an absolute hidden gem!

Worst chicken Pad Thai I have ever had! It was so bad that I thought they gave me the wrong order. So I called the owner and she started yelling at me, then hung up on me! Terrible first experience and will certainly be the last! If anyone is looking for good customer service and food go to Koung Thai!

I came in to make a take out order. No other customers were in the store.. The to-go server told me that shed be right back; thats fine and dandy by me. I kindly told her that Id be ready to place my order when she returned. While she was out, a gentleman walked in and walked ahead of me in the line. But clearly, I was here first. When the server returned, she completely ignored me by assisting the gentlemen that came in after me. I simply walked out and decided to go to a franchise instead.

Ordered take out and they hit me with $1 convenience fee, $6 tip and then another 4% for credit card fee. Food is decent but won t be coming back again.

I used to really like eating at this restaurant. Once covid hit, they never reopened which is fine and their choice. Now when we place a to go order, they charge a convenience fee, a tip, and 4% to use a credit card. Yes, a tip of their choosing it seems because I entered $3 and it was changed to $6. It sounds like they won t survive end are having a hard time paying the bills so they are squeezing every dollar out of each order. Very sad to say this was my last visit and a small local business I will no longer be supporting.

This food was extremely mediocre even if it wasnt over priced this is the quality id expect of panda express honestly panda is probably be better as far as asian cuisine goes. I ordered 2 different tray both were almost flavorless the meat was not only extremely skimpy but overcooked rockhard and flavorless as well. What a trash can place to call a restaurant when there are countless other places worthy of calling themselves asian cusine.

Sushi is excellent. We had tuna, salmon, yellowtail and all of it was of the highest quality. Even the wasabi and ginger were notably good. Not as many choices for vegetarians, but the miso soup was also delicious. Prices are very reasonable. We will definitely be making this a regular stop - there are many more items on the menu that we want to try!

Mixed reviews on this one. I have food allergies, my husband does not. Theyre normally pretty spot on, but tonight they were so way off that I thought Id ordered a Mexican food meal. When we ordered online, I asked for my husbands meal to be spicy in the instruction box, and he (husband) said that other than that it had NO spice at all, it was awesome. MY meal, on the other hand, was completely wrong! I ordered Chicken Pineapple friend rice, and I didnt get ANY rice and NO pineapple, and it was like chunks of chicken and peppers in broth, but what I did get was an entire JALAPENO sliced up into my food. Not impressed.

Shrimp fried rice was fairly good but only had 4 shrimps in it , then we had the chicken pad thai and it had just a little bit of chicken . They could do better on the meat portions.

Came here for the first time with my family. It was a Wednesday evening about 6pm but they were not busy. We were not sure why as they have an excellent selection and the decor and ambience is great. I almost rated down because we had our kids and there were no kids menus or anything like that for them. However, our kids love Asian food and had no problem finding something they loved (pork belly steamed buns for my 6yo and Giza for my 4yo). I decided not to rate down for this as it s not their fault I didn t check out kid-friendliness before going. On to the food. Mh and I were quite overwhelmed at the selection as it was rather large. However, we ended up deciding to share an array. We got the sashimi platter, the Rockwall roll, and the pad Thai. All three were excellent. The sashimi was fresh and perfectly cut. It was also beautifully arrange and cake with tuna, white tuna, yellowtail, salmon, and snapper pieces which were also topped with caviar. The Rockwall roll was a shrimp tempura roll, with crab on top and two difference sauces drizzled on top. This was very good but I d try a different one next time. The pad Thai was excellent. Perfectly cooked noodles with just the right amount of spice. Yum! And as one of MH s favorites, it did not disappoint. Our kids loved the pork belly as did I and the Goza dumplings were classic and perfection. Everything that came out was so beautifully displayed. The staff was friendly and the restaurant beautiful. If you re looking for a date night or night out with friends, I highly recommend giving Basil Cafe a try!
