Best WLM Reviews

As a vegan and a vegetarian, my boyfriend and I found plenty of delicious options. The basil Thai entree with tofu and fried rice was warm, comforting and flavorful. Tofu fried rice and jungle curry were excellent as well. We received attentive, friendly service from the moment we entered. I'd recommend Basil of Monroe to anyone looking for a satisfying meal.
Was very disappointed at the food. Ordered the appetizer calamari, and it came out burnt and not edible. The flat noodles what OK the vegetables other than the bok choy look like came out of a frozen vegetable packet you can get at Sam’s Club.
The food is really good, and the staff are great, but they seem overwhelmed most of the time. It's one of the busiest restaurants in Monroe and often you have to call multiple times for the line not to be busy to order to-go.
The staff really are kind and helpful, it just seems like they need more help at times. I'll continue to go because you can't beat the quality of the food in our area.
I am a big fan of Tom Kha soup especially with seafood proteins. They made exceptionally good Tom Kha. Fried Kalamari was good but it was kind of overpriced (my opinion), Pad Kee Maow was so delicious.
Overall food taste was 8.5/10 which I believe is really really good rating. Service was also standard, atmosphere was calm. Definitely deserves a revisit.
The place was slammed busy but we were seated, waited on and served in a timely manner. Super friendly staff and amazing food.
We were seated pretty quickly for lunch. It was pretty busy so our food took awhile longer than you might like when hungry but for busy lunchtime, as expected. Our food was great. I had Beef Pho and do recommend it. We also had Green Tea ice cream and highly recommend it especially if you are looking for something not overly sweet. Staff was very friendly and that is always a plus!
The food here was really great. There service here is amazing as well. Our waiter was fantastic. He was very professional and knows etiquette that most waiters don't. Food took longer than expected, but it was definitely worth it. I recommend this place if you're looking for a place to eat when you're in the area.
The only reason for the 4 in atmosphere is because it's so busy, they need more tables. It's a great problem to have. This is a top-notch restaurant in all aspects. Everything on the menu is worth trying.
