Order anything, and you’ll love it. Been here multiple times and never been disappointed
Very busy but very helpful. Loved the chicken larb, red chicken curry, garlic and pepper dish and satay
Always amazing food and the staff are always friendly. Service is prompt and you get your food quickly. Always love this little local.
This restaurant is currently my favorite Thai restaurants in Perth! For the price, you can’t fault it.
Their cashew nut noodle is the winner. It’s one of the best fried flat rice noodle I have ever tried. Don’t forget to ask for spicy if you like spicy food. My second favorite is their chili basil crispy pork.
One thing though, you might want to book in advance because the restaurant is small and it gets packed very quickly.
Me and my family have been long time regulars. Very small so seating is limited. But if you can't get a seat the takeaway is very quick and worth considering.
Small authentic thai restaurant. The restaurant is mostly full since there is very limited seating. Would recommend red curry, massaman curry, tamarind and chilli fish & the salt and pepper calamari.
Fresh, simple authentic Thai food.

OUR TAKE
We usually prefer to cook our own Thai food, as we think we do a pretty good job, especially considering the price point of most inner-city Thai restaurants these days. However, Red Basil goes above and beyond what we could ever achieve in our kitchen.
FOOD
Truly one of the freshest and best tasting Thai food we have ever had. Our regular orders include the peanut satay, any of the curries, and the spring rolls. If you are a spice and coconut lover, the tom kha soup warrants a special mention, as it is out of this world in flavour. Portion sizes are large enough that you will have leftovers to take home.
VIBE
Red Basil is a small, simple Thai kitchen style restaurant that would be easy to look over when walking down the main street of Victoria Park. With simple décor and only a limited number of tables, it is essential to book beforehand. While not a fancy dining experience, the food more than makes up for it.
SERVICE
Service is excellent, the staff are quick and friendly.
CRITIQUE
The only downside is that the size of the venue makes it feel a bit cramped, other than that, however, there is nothing to critique.
OVERALL
If you want simple and delicious Thai food, Red Basil is easily one of the best we have ever been to. Highly recommend.
Very clean in an awesome location. Extra tasty food that is ready quickly. I would definitely be go back for takeaway or for a casual delicious meal 👍
Have been here many times. The food is always fresh and delicious, Food comes out so quickly and consistently amazing. Hands down best Thai food in Perth. Do yourself a favour and eat there.
Authentic Thai food, well presented at reasonable prices BUT customer service non existent. One smile or pleasantry from our waitress would have been nice

Excellent Thai food. We asked for extra chili's and boy...was it spicy but this was revenge for a wet, cold and windy day. Looks like the heat 🔥 got to us faster than the 📷 snaps .
Very prompt service and staff were very friendly.
I recently found this restaurant and highly recommend it. I am from Melbourne and have found it quite difficult in Perth to find eateries matching Melbourne's food standards. In my opinion, Red Basil Thai does. I love their Pad thai prawn (with five fat and juicy prawns!) and their veggie spring rolls (which are homemade). Thanks to the chefs and owners for your beautiful food! The customer service is also lovely.
Excellent value for money! My go-to restaurant for cheap and delicious Thai food. The serves are quite large so I always end up taking home leftovers. Highly recommend the choo chee fish!
Delicious food! Love their fried pork belly and fish with sweet and sour sauce. Restaurant is quite small, but it didn't bother us as we booked the table beforehand, food came out pretty fast and service is good.
Each restaurant has that ONE dish you crave. The best dish is their Red Basil Sliced chicken with rice, MILD ! quick, easy , delicious ! Good mix of veggies and proteins, always the best for $13. Been going there for 10 years, can never fault this particular dish.
Ps this small family run restaurant can get busy quick so go either 30 mins of opening or closing. Don’t expect a smiley hello and welcome when they are running, $13 for the best red basil chicken is a steal with or without a smile.
PS2 i said MILD… because it’s modern Ely spicy …..don’t ask for medium spicy or you’ll suffer.
If you have a death wish, simply ask for spicy.
Of all the Thai food I have tasted in Perth and I frequently go to Thailand, this place is as authentic as it gets. The food is outstanding, prices are reasonable, portion is considerably huge and very fast. Place is small so might need to wait during busy hours but worth I wait. I have been eating here for 3 years now, I always order the Steam glass noodles with prawns, it is a must try! You will not be disappointed :)
