Stepping into Cool Basil feels like unlocking a hidden culinary gem, but it's the menu that truly steals the show. From the very first bite of their Spicy Edamame or the golden, crunchy Deep-Fried Spring Rolls, it’s clear this isn’t just another Asian fusion spot—it’s a flavor journey. The Crab Rangoon melts in your mouth, and the Pork Pot Stickers are seared to savory perfection.
Noodle lovers, prepare to be spoiled. The Drunken Noodle packs a spicy, wok-fired punch, while the Hong Kong Pan Fried Noodles offer a textural contrast that’s both crispy and saucy. Pad Thai is a classic done right—tangy, sweet, and nutty, and the Kua Kai brings soul-soothing depth in every bite.
The Stir Fry section offers hearty choices like the Sweet Basil/Rice and Tamarind/Rice, each delivering bold flavor profiles with fresh vegetables and just the right kick of heat. Rice dishes are equally strong—think fragrant Basil Fried Rice or the tropical flair of Pineapple Fried Rice, which pairs beautifully with the Sweet Basil Special or the rich Herbal Crispy Catfish.
Cool Basil also honors Chinese-American favorites with a twist. The Sesame Chicken is golden and sticky-sweet, while the Orange Peel Chicken balances citrus zest with umami richness. And don’t skip the 3 Flavors series—whether it's fish, chicken, or shrimp, the blend of spicy, sweet, and sour is spot-on.
Finish your meal on a high note with Mango Sticky Rice or the indulgent Fried Banana with Ice Cream. For drinks, their Bubble Teas—especially Lychee and Mango—are refreshingly fun. With so many thoughtful dishes across categories, Cool Basil’s menu isn’t just diverse—it’s delightfully addictive. A must-visit for flavor seekers.
