Service is prompt and attentive. They have a wide selection and in the various visits, they've all kept a high standard. Fantastic starters.

excellent fresh food as always, plenty of veg! very reasonably priced but actually too much food so none of us could finish our meal. They could definitely charge the same price for a smaller portion

We have been coming since Sweet Basil opened, the food is excellent but sadly the service on a Saturday evening is not what is used to be (perhaps fewer staff, staff are working hard but service was slow and not attentive) and the restaurant now lacks atmosphere. It used to feel like a treat and a pleasant experience but based on this weekend’s experience we will not be going again to eat in the restaurant.

Absolutely amazing food. Fresh & tasty! They also customise things from your order. For example if you want something a bit spicier, tell them and they will try their best! My only one minor criticism is the service was a little bit slow but it was a Saturday night so it's to be expected.

For an English-style Chinese restaurant it was not bad at all. The food was quite tasty (though I never can understand why chefs who are stir-frying feel the need to use pre-cooked meat - fresh meat is so much tastier). I sat for 15 minutes after eating my main course waiting to be asked if I would like a desert, drink or coffee but no-one came so in the end I just went to the bar to pay and left.

We came here for dinner prior to a weekend at York Outlet. The place is easy to find as it's directly off the A59 and there is plenty of parking. We had the mixed starters, which was mixed! Ribs and prawn toast were not the best, but the seaweed was lovely and the sweet and sour dipping sauce was the nicest I've had! The mains arrived (chicken curry and sweet and sour chicken) and these were lovely. We also ordered salt and pepper chips and these again, were the best I have had. Nathan the waiter was very friendly and happy, but generally speaking service was a bit lacking we felt - they probably need more staff for when it gets busy. Portions were very generous and it represented good value.

The Chinese food is not pure, probably because there are not many Chinese people around, and it mainly serves British local Western-style Chinese food. Overall it's okay.

Revisited in May 24. What a disappointment. Cafe type tables and chairs. Tap water on the rable already when we arrived. Was it ours or left from previous occupants? No placemats on the tables, and tables were not laid. There we no dish warmers to keep the food warm whilst eating. One starter did not arrive having been missed from the order, despite us asking twice if it had been ordered. Generally the service was not good. We had to ask twice for more tao water. One meal was so salty it was almost inedible, and there was no reaction when we mentioned this in reply to "is everything OK?" All in all this is no longer a dining experience, but a large cafe.

We told them our kid is allergic to egg and nuts and they assured us our dishes are 100% egg and nut free, but when we got back home and he started eating his food after two bites started complaining of trouble breathing and swallowing, when we double checked his noodles got fried eggs in it. Make sure you triple check your food if you suffer of any allergies as people could die from it!

I've changed my review following our recent visit. This used to be a really good restaurant, with great atmosphere and excellent food and a wonderful team. But. Over the last few years we've noticed cut backs. Good staff have gone. Tables are no longer dressed, menus are now just the takeaway leaflets and the food is just ok. However, last night we didn't exist for the servers and had to go to the desk to get our order taken. There were five or so tables in use but a stream of takeaway orders, which was the obvious priority for them. From being a great place to eat this has now become just an average takeaway, that has a restaurant attached.

We have been here a number of times over the years, and although we have found the food average, the service always friendly and attentive and much appreciated so overall we have enjoyed the experience. However the food on our visit this week really was not very nice. We ordered Pad Thai and it was gloopy , fruity and hadn’t been near a peanut, and the prawns rubbery - it was like a Chinese take on a classic Thai dish so if you like Pad Thai this probably is not what to order. The rubbery and tasteless vegetarian spring rolls were not much better. We have had Pad Thai here before and enjoyed it, but not any more, we were served up an entirely different and unappetising dish.

Placed my order in the restaurant and had a drink while I waited. I was told 15 minutes and it would be ready. Great. After 45 minutes I asked where my food was and they said we’ve run out of sticks for the satay. Odd? Within three minutes my order was ready. I arrived home to find my the food cold. Clearly my order had just been forgotten and left on the side. Admittedly, it was a busy night. I tried to call when I got home to complain but no one answered. Microwave to the rescue. Obviously, my review won’t matter a toss.

Excellent service and food. Definitely recommend. Both takeaway and restaurant dining available. Wheelchair accessible with ample parking. I wouldn’t say this is the cheapest takeaway but it is worth every penny. Extremely tasty food and more than enough to fill even the emptiest of tummies. Staff were friendly and service was with a smile. Situated midway between York and Harrogate near Green Hammerton, this would not be your obvious position for a takeaway business but it’s popularity shows that it doesn’t matter where you are, if the food and service are that good then customers will come. Would definitely recommend.

Our first (and certainly not our last) visit to Sweet Basil. My husband and I both chose the Combination Starter for 1 - he had the Chinese version and mine was the Thai. What a treat to be able to order both as they are often for a minimum of 2 people. They were nicely presented, well cooked and full of flavour. We shared a sweet and sour chicken and chicken curry. We all know that our local version of these dishes is often our favourite, but these guys knocked both out of the park! We have a number of very good Chinese takeaways within easy reach of us, but after today’s feast, this is the nicest we’ve had for a LONG time! The service was friendly and speedy.

We used to have such great meals here so returned today. What a shock, we ordered black bean king prawn which was swimming in oil but even more alarming the chicken and cashew nut was so “gloopy “ I was concerned at the amount of mono sodium glutamate that could have been used. Unfortunately Most of the meal had to be left. The waitress asked if everything was ok so we spoke about the problem, she was not interested .

Visited last night with my family. The food was nice but very questionable hygiene standards that really put me off my food. When serving my main meal the waiter in question kept putting his dirty unbuttoned sleeve into our meals. Even pointing this out the first time he went and did it again. Not wanting to make a fuss I continued with my meal but just couldn’t enjoy it. I mentioned it to the manager at the end who apologies but didn’t seem to really grasp how inappropriate this is. Suggest all staff wear short sleeves or clean buttoned up sleeves.

Fantastic King Prawn & Duck. The best Sweet and Sour king prawns we’ve had for a long time. Really great Chinese food and good service. The Hot and Sour soup and mixed started was excellent but star of the meal were the sweet and sour king prawns … really good & a favourite. The only niggle was the noodles were a little bit Seared tasting but maybe the oil?? Overall excellent. Also with the re introduction of masks in shops was good to see those waiting for a takeaway wearing masks. Will come again soon snd not leave it as long to re visit next time. Worth the drive out. As mentioned by a few people is actually called Sweet Basil.

The restaurant is called Sweet Basil on the A59 at Green/Kirk Hammerton so I am baffled why it is listed on Tripadvisor as New Basil. The photo is the correct building.Disappointing...we have not visited this restaurant for around 3 years and it does not resemble the great place we once new. Gloopy food, slow service, certainly not authentic Thai food as it was before. Gone are the well dressed staff. Its more like a takeaway with tables. Very disappointing.

New to the area, but heard a lot about how great this place was. Called Sweet Basil, not New Basil?The fact that it has low tripadvisor visibility, plus a drive by seeing an ugly building, plus a look at a menu saying it was a Chinese and Thai raised alarm bells. Not many restaurants can deliver quality different cuisines.So to be honest we went with hope, but low expectations.Inside it’s functional. Covid standards are low - no scan opportunity, just an optional paper list easily missed. Menus, didn’t look to be sanitised; and again no scanned menu option.plus staff handled all items, rather than asking guest to remove drinks, retain cutlery etc.We ordered Thai. Fish cakes good, but never had them served without dipping sauce. Squid pleasant, more Chinese than Thai. Mains: red chicken curry - absolutely no heat and really not very good. Seafood chilli dish ok, boiled rice and a tasty (if not authentic beef salad). Overall, definitely felt like a Chinese trying to do Thai, rather than a Thai, but it was ok, although I would not order a basic Thai curry again.We will return, as local, but sadly disappointed. We used to enjoy a great pub with Thai food in thorp arch... no longer in existence, but see Boston Spa Thai is still going... so may need to head south there.

We called at this restaurant on the recommendation of the host at the cottage where we were staying. We chose to do takeaway but you can also eat on the premises. The menu is very varied with something for everyone's taste. We chose the chicken in lemon sauce and the beef with mushrooms. The rice is extra. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was cooked quickly. We shared the dishes and both were hot and very tasty and also a good size portion. Compared to our usual Chinese takeaway it is a tad expensive but OK for a treat. We would go back if we are ever in the area again.

This 're-born' Little Chef has been given a new lease of life. The menu covers not just chinese dishes, but Thai and others as well, making it quite a little gem. All very well prepared and delivered by cheerful and enthusiastic staff. Decent value too - with good parking. It is well worth a visit - and stray away from your regular dish of choice to experiment with something new. Be brave - you won't regret it!

This eatery is fine for a quick dinner . The Staff obliging, the menu perhaps too extensive but try as it might, it is hard for it to overcome its situation (behind a garage on an A road) but, that said ,it is clearly very popular with children. Well beyond a 'Happy Eater'. Very busy at times but authentically eastern and welcoming.

What can I say, we first went here a few years ago and loved it so much we have returned numerous times with friends, family and work colleagues. We even travel especially for a take away as our local Chinese restaurants are not a patch on the Sweet Basil, our favourites are the salt and pepper squid, hot and sour soup, Sizzling steak in black bean and a masaman curry all cooked to perfection with plenty of flavour.

Just ordered a beef in ok sauce and it tastes like beef in ketchup and vinegar - so disappointing. Egg fried rice and prawn toast ok but this really let me down and will be going in the bin Next

Absolutely terrible. The chicken was just pure batter and tough. The beef tasted like fish! Absolutely appalling. Really disappointed as we don’t eat out much and this was supposed to be a treat
