Whenever I crave for Thai food, I'll always think of Chili Basil at City road in Cardiff. The Thai food is so delicious paired with very reasonable price, great service and friendly staff. What else can a satisfied customer ask for ?

My absolute favourite place in Cardiff for Thai food. I've been coming here time and time again when I crave a taste of home. Even though the owners are Burmese, it is probably the most authentic no-frill Thai eatery! Always amazing value for money and the sweetest owners. My favourite dishes I can recommend: Massaman, Beef Salad, Chilli Basil Stir Fry, Papaya Salad

Very delicious food! I order the pad kee mao from here often and it's always very delicious. Love the hand pulled noodles in the dish. The service is always very lovely and the restaurant is clean, and nicely decorated. Can't wait to be back!

One of Cardiffs best Thai spots! Feel like your in a good court in Thailand. Beef salad is excellent! Massaman also a favourite.

I've visited this place a few times with my friends, and it never disappoints. Honestly, it's my favourite Thai spot in Cardiff! Whenever I crave Thai food, this is my go-to place. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the food tastes AMAZING!! We never have to wait long for our food, and even if we did, it would be worth it. The Thai cuisine here is reasonably priced for Cardiff. The staff are always happy to accommodate requests, like adding extra chilli's for a super spicy lunch. You can inform the chef about your preferred spice level, and they'll adjust it accordingly. The owner and his wife are very friendly, and the service is excellent. For those with accessibility needs, the restaurant is wheelchair accessible. It's also worth noting that the food is HALAL and it's a cash-only establishment. I love the simplicity and genuine authenticity of both the place and the food, which tastes fantastic. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend a visit!

We ordered red thai curry and it was really nice. Katsu curry was also good. One of the best Thai outlet having resonable price.

The owner of the restaurant is Burmese and is a chef who cooks Thai food himself. The taste is not very different much in Thailand, but the taste is made easier for people in England to eat. You can inform the chef what level of spiciness you want. The shop is small The shop can accommodate approximately 15 customers at a time. The owner and his wife are very friendly and nice and the service is good.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST THAI PLACE IN CARDIFF. The service was absolutely impeccable and both staff were incredibly sweet. The food came out quick and was VERY GOOD! the tables all have soy sauce and a pot of Crispy chilli in oil, which was appreciated. The only downfall I could think of is not taking card, but the lady kindly directed us to a cashpoint and food was really reasonably priced.

Food: bland, watery, overall flavourless. I tried green curry in many places and it has never been so mediocre. No sweetness-acidity balance, not spicy. Starters alike. Fish cakes were rubbery and oily. Dumplings didn’t taste of anything. I would never expect that from a Thai restaurant. Service: poor, slow, meals are not arriving together. Cash only. Atmosphere: chef shouting a lot, decor absent, not a lot of space inside. More of a noodle bar, but without the fast service. Overall, first and last visit. Not worth it.

Just had a delicious meal at this small and casual Thai restaurant for £50 for 3 people! For starters we had prawn tempura, chicken satay and chicken & prawn dumplings; then for mains we had Tom yum noodle duck soup, spicy chicken fried rice with an egg, and beef massaman curry. All really tasty and cooked up in minutes. If I lived locally, I would eat here regularly. Note that it is cash only.

Food is good could be better. Quantity has been reduced since my last visit Ordered 3 fried rice all came in different portions. And when i asked they said it was cooked together so can portion it urself,which is so awkward because i am not going to take food from the friend who got more rice. Horrible way to serve So i paid more for less quantity Must do better

Heard a good rep of this restaurant, rather disappointed as the food was rather bland, not much better than the standard, average take away. Expected the food to be aromatic but sadly almost tasteless, not at all spicy and even the garlic dish had no hint of garlic, the fried rice was a bit gooey and nothing to recommend it although the coconut rice tasted okay. Which was the general opinion of our party, nothing to draw us back, sadly,

I used to live in Thailand, and pork being a major part of their dishes. I asked for one of their famous dishes which originally came from the South if Thailand to find that I had to have an alternative meat (chicken) I've had it with chicken before and found that it doesn't taste the same... shame, otherwise this place would have huge potential.

It doesn't look like much from the outside but I went a few weeks back with a friend who rates it highly. It didn't disappoint. It's a small Thai restaurant on City Road, with only 4-5 tables, so most people order to take away, although you have to collect. It was quiet though, so we ate in and shared a thai green chicken curry with rice and a chicken pad thai. You can see the fresh ingredients and the food being cooked. The green curry was really nice and smooth and the chicken was tender, but the star for me was the pad thai, which I hadn't had anywhere before. It had a lovely smokey flavour and a lovely addition of crushed nuts and herbs on the side to sprinkle over. The portions were generous and the staff were friendly and helpful without being overly attentive. Would definitely recommend and will definitely visit again soon.

The best Thai in Cardiff!!! This restaurant is ran by a husband and wife, all of the food is cooked fresh in front of you.

We’ve eaten in most of the Thai restaurants in the City but my go to Chilli fix is the Chilli Basil in City Road. It’s only small with four tables inside but the best things come in small packages!!! Eating in is always our favourite because it’s straight out of the Wok but they are very busy with take-aways!! Please note they only accept cash plus they do not serve alcohol. After a busy morning shopping in the city centre we decided to walk here for lunch. Great to see that the husband and wife team has been awarded for their excellent food by winning the Welsh regional Thai restaurant award - congratulations !!! I ordered the Chicken Pad See Yew and please ask them to spice it to your liking- they are really accommodating. We had the tempura prawns and Chicken and prawn dumplings- absolutely delicious!! Two starters,two mains prawn crackers and drinks came to just over £25 Excellent value for an excellent lunch !!! Many thanks and see you in the New Year x

We visited Mr. Pim on a Saturday afternoon. There was no one else there and it had such a cosy musicians sitting room feeling. We had a table booked for three and didn’t leave until just after half five. The music and chatter definitely made the food worth the wait. Mr. Pim was welcoming and incredibly hospitable. We had a four and five year old with us and he was very accommodating of them. The girls got to play some piano and sing with Mr. Pim and a film was popped on during lunch. If you like a chat about life over food then this is the place for you. Mr. Pim has done so much, one would think you could not fit that into a lifetime. Wisdom beyond his years in that man. Ask him about his time as a Buddhist monk. And the food. I’ve saved it to last because it was incredible. We had Chicken Satay, which I honestly would say is the best Chicken Satay I’ve had in some time. For our mains we had egg fried rice, chicken fried rice and coconut rice with a chicken Red Thai curry and a chicken Masaman. The portions were plentiful and it was all cooked fresh. The girls even had a little home made coconut ice cream too. We weren’t rushed out. It was just good food, good chatter and good vibes over music. I would definitely recommend.
