I had such a great experience here! The Mango Tango Roll was easily the highlight of my meal—spicy crab and avocado topped with mango, salmon, tobiko, and a little extra jalapeño made it the best roll I’ve had to date. It was so fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I also tried the chicken, shrimp, and broccoli in brown sauce, which was very tasty and satisfying. The pork stir-fried rice, on the other hand, wasn’t really for me. While it had good ingredients like onions, carrots, peas, egg, and basil, the basil flavor was too strong and overpowered the other ingredients. I also ordered a drink (I can’t remember the name) that was really good and paired nicely with everything. On top of the food, the service was excellent—friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Overall,

My friend and I went to Sweet Basil for happy hour and were really disappointed by the service. From the start, our first round of drinks were delivered to the table next to us, and those guests actually started to drink from them before the waitress realized the mistake. Despite being told the drinks had already been sipped, she still tried to give them to us, we had to firmly refuse and ask for new drinks to be made. Things didn’t improve after that. My friends second drink, a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, arrived in a wine glass with someone else’s lip prints/lipstick on it. My friend had to send that back as well.

Rock shrimp and Lychee Martini are my go-to. Service is prompt, plenty of parking, and they have happy hour every day! Great spot for a fun and tasty experience. Highly recommend! Can't wait to return!

First time here and the food was great. I don’t normally try Asian food as it’s not my thing but I was very impressed. I was out with a Vegan so her choice, we started with Edamame which was truly a first for me, they were very salty but tender and good. I got teriyaki chicken for my dinner it was very good and very saucy. It had broccoli, carrots, mushrooms with it. Came with white rice was fair, very sticky and hard to eat. The prices were actually good and the decor was nice. We sat in a booth at the bar area. The only real complaint I have is parking is kinda tough they have a lot but it’s kinda angled and on the corner of two main roads so ingress and egress is kinda poor.
