Basil

The waitress was super helpful and patient. They clearly mark which dishes are gluten free. I had the masaman curry and it was amazing. I didn’t see any alcohol I could have (besides wine) but the waitress informed me they can switch the vodka in certain drinks to Tito’s brand! This will be a regular spot for me when visiting Charleston.

Food was soooo good! I got the pad thai and duck salad (actually two servings of the pad thai)! The staff is knowledgeable and caring about Celiac. Would definitely go again!!!

I am ultra sensitive and I get reaction from Basil. Not sure if it is the MSG or cross contamination but definitely not 100% for me.

I am so thankful for Basil Thai. I had a coconut soup, an appetizer that was lettuce wrap style and Pad Thai. I loved the Pad Thai!

Very tasty food, great service. Menu clearly marked. Best of all I didn't get sick.

Great Pad Thai - clear menu

Fantastic Thai food for gluten-free eaters and gluten eaters alike! There are quite a few menu options for GF, and they all taste delicious! They staff is knowledgeable and helpful.

Gluten free food is marked on their menu. Contrary to another review, they use regular soy sauce for all the entrees (and didn't accommodate for us) and use gf soy sauce on the table which made it hard.

Very good. The main menu was clearly marked with many gluten free options. My table ordered Pad Thai, curry, beef satay, soup and Sweet and Sour chicken. All entrees came with an Asian coleslaw and white rice. The Pad Thai was awesome. The waiter informed me that they recently switched their house soy sauce used in the kitchen to a gluten free brand.

Great Pad Thai. Gluten free marked on the menu.

I saw they had pad Thai which is my favorite Thai dish so I didn't even look at how many gf dishes they offered. I told the waitress I couldn't eat gluten, and she took it very seriously. My meal was great although the shrimp and chicken were both slightly over cooked. I loved the noodles, sauce, and sprouts, and was thankful for a safe meal which is so hard to find in Asian restaurants.

Celiac friendly?

The first time I visited Basil Thai (9/2014) I was IN LOVE with the pad thai! Hands down the best I ever had. I recently visited Basil again (March '15), and the waitress informed me that their restaurant had just changed their noodle supplier and the noodles are no longer gluten free. Big disappointment! Sadly, it really limited the menu and I won't be visiting again.

They have gluten-free sake (its also kosher and sulfite free). The spring rolls are amazing, have them leave out the peanuts and hoisen (plum) out of the dipping sauce. Coconut chicken soup is amazing!

Lots of gluten free options. I had the shrimp salad and loved it

Very good food. Excellent service. Helpful staff.

Visiting Charlotte and read reviews so I tried it. Limited menu, pad Thai, fried rice , 2 soups. Had chicken satay but couldn’t eat sauce bc they thicken it with flour. Staff is very knowledgeable If you like shrimp they have GF basil spring rolls, not fried.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The menu has gluten free options noted. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to suggest items that were also soy free. I had the soup and some of my husband’s pad thai. They were very good.
