I ride past Basil Rice every day and finally decided to stop in. I'm really glad I did; it's a hidden gem! I've been there three times this week and plan to return soon. The food is delightful and tastes incredibly fresh. I tried the chicken teriyaki with white rice and their version of orange chicken (as shown in the picture). My son wasn't a fan of the orange chicken since it wasn't the crispy variety he was used to. I called to express my concern, leaving a detailed message, but didn't receive a response. When I returned the next day with the plate, I learned that this is just how they prepare it. This experience made me take off a star, as I hoped for a different resolution. There wasn't...
I've ordered from here a few times and it's always been great, but today I had a particularly satisfying experience. I was tired and ordered from their online pickup menu and thought I was ordering a regular green curry. I was a little surprised when I got home and realized I had mistakenly ordered a green curry burrito--something I didn't even realize was on the menu--but I figured since it was my bad and I'd already walked a half mile home I'd eat it anyway. Never something I'd think to order on my own, but wow was it delicious. It was fast, filling, cheap and, again, incredibly tasty. I will be ordering it again. My only regret was ordering a side of rice because I did not anticipate the...
Food was pretty good we got the pad thai and drunken noodle lunch special/combos. Lunch special is pretty worth it you can get a large thai tea. However, service wasn’t great. The waiter wasn’t that friendly and had trouble with the prices. We got charged an extra $3 on the chicken drunken noodle and instead of getting 1 crab rangoon and 1 veggie roll we got only crab rangoons. Atmosphere is okay, not much seating though. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3
One of the best finds in Brookline! My top pick is the drunken noodles—they’re always perfectly prepared. I haven’t had a single meal here that I didn’t enjoy, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone thinking of ordering. In terms of dietary needs, we have a family member with multiple food sensitivities, and the staff is wonderfully accommodating with any special requests!

I had ordered Korean Bibimbap Rice, Drunken noodles and Crab Rangoon. It was good, I liked the portion size and taste. Drunken noodles were lil sticky but overall loved it. I’m posting review because I saw a lot of negative reviews which I don’t think is true. You should definitely try once! : Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
The food at Basil Rice is satisfactory, and the open kitchen adds a nice touch. However, dining indoors in the summer can be uncomfortably warm. Overall, I’d give the food a 3 out of 5.
Chicken fried rice was mushy in texture but the flavor profile was not bad. Food was finished quickly, which is a positive, but probably would not order again.
Basil Rice offers a good, quick meal for a hungry evening. The staff are friendly and helpful, the menu features fair prices, and the portions are generous.
