A hands-down local favorite for Thai cuisine, Thai Basil brings its much-lauded cuisine to several locations in the Sacramento Valley. Matriarch Prayoon Sununsangthong, called Grandma by her adoring staff, teams with her three daughters and the recipes learned in her mother's kitchen to make her extensive menu of authentic and flavorful starters, soups, salads, grill specialties, rice plates and noodle dishes. Salad rolls and grilled marinated tiger prawns provide a fabulous start to any meal, while house-specialty curries made with your choice of spiciness are always winners. Vegetarian options abound. Fabulous desserts include fried banana with coconut ice cream and the tropical grill, a delicious sundae-like concoction of bananas, mangoes and pineapple. Beer and wine available. Serving lunch Mon–Sat, dinner nightly. Voted Best Thai Restaurant in the 2009 Sacramento magazine and 2008 News & Review readers' polls.

Sacramento's somewhat-underrated restaurant culture includes a number of much-praised contemporaries, although no eatery in town is more revered than Willie's Burgers & Chiliburgers.
