    3.5 Stars. We ordered delivery via door dash at work. The food was delivered well packaged, fresh and hot. You get a filling portion, but it's pretty expensive for the minimal chicken you get. Normally I like to get the option of spice level, but my dish came with hot sauce packets, so I made it work. Overall we'll definitely keep red basil on our rotation when ordering.

    I recently dined at Red Basil in Rutherford, NJ, and I must say they have good service compared to most Asian restaurants around here. The staff is friendly and always greets you with a smile as they serve and greet guests. We came on a quiet Sunday afternoon, and we were the only customers in the restaurant. However, I noticed that Red Basil is filled with customers during lunchtime on regular weekdays. For my meal, I chose one of their lunch specials. I started with the Grilled Chicken Satay as my appetizer and selected the Spicy Noodle with Chicken as my entrée. While I wouldn't say the satay peanut sauce was the absolute best I've ever had, I must give them credit for the generous portion of chicken on the skewers. They certainly don't skimp on the chicken when it comes to their satay. Having grown up and spent most of my life in Malaysia, I used to visit Thailand for vacations a few times every year. Trying their Spicy Noodles with Chicken definitely felt like a taste of the noodles I had from one of the aunties selling fried Thai noodles on the street. I usually had to add soy sauce whenever I ordered fried noodles from most Asian restaurants around NJ, but it was exceptional at this one. The spice and salt were on point--not too much, just perfect. I would definitely return for the lunch specials with the same entrée, but I will try a different appetizer.

    I'm embarrassed to admit that after a decade-and-change from my original review... myself and the Mrs. have never really deviated from our go-to meal - spicy (drunken) noodles with tofu, no egg. It's my kids that have bounced around the menu to try different items (most recently Khao Mun Gai which got good reviews until one kid attempted to eat three slices of raw jalapeno at once - seeds and all - and it wasn't pretty). Sure, I've tried their scallion pancakes (so good, but much better when you eat them there and not as a take-out dish). And they've discontinued those complimentary scrumptious crisp banana rolls with every order. (Boo!) But it's all about that spicy noodle dish. Yeah, the portion size has shrunk over the years while the price has ticked up. But it's just a killer dish that's perfectly balanced and my litmus test when judging other Thai restaurants I've been to. Staff - always friendly. Metered street parking (thankfully located on a side street a bit away from the congested madness of Park Avenue). (I promise by the time 2033 rolls around and I'm revising this review once again - I'll have other dishes to report on.) "Mai phet, mai arroy!"
