"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 takeaways!! 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"

Had an incredibly delicious takeaway this evening. My partner had a red chicken curry and I had the chilli basil stir fry with prawns. The coconut rice was great too. Easy pick up with social distancing (just remember to take cash not card!). Food was...so tasty! Will definitely be returning 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 opted for the prawn spring rolls, chicken and prawn dumplings, Thai prawn crackers and then two chicken pad see...ew (spicy). Came to just under 30! Highly recommended to everyone !!!! Always an amazing experience.

with only four tables and sixteen covers, the newly opened chilli basil on the city road must be safe cardiffs smallest restaurant. (Respond on the back of a postcard please or the comment section below if you can think of somewhere tinier). While the Lilliputian shares of this Thai restaurant mean that there can often be a waiting time for a table, they can always take time with a predinner cocktail over the street in milgis or use chilli basils house delivery service instead. also do not cure. viertel des restaurants da chilli basil no alcohol license we have ordered a clutch of interesting softdrinks. for me a tamarinden juice with a familiar...read more

"It was the most bizarre experience dining here. First when we arrived in the restaurant, our group set up was that there was someone on each end who was sitting facing an empty chair on the other side of the table. Upon enquiry we understood it was a covid measure, however never had any other restaurants requesting such seating arrangements in the past 20 months. We ordered two split pots, a non-spicy broth for one side of the pot and a spicy broth for the other side. The staff came to confirm that we wanted spicy/non-spicy in each pot. Yes, we said. To our shock when the pots came, one pot was spicy/spicy on both side, and the other was non-spicy/non-spicy on both sides. This was after the staff had came by to confirm that we wanted a spicy/non-spicy set-up, and in the usual situation a person wanting a spicy broth would not have asked for a split pot. We raised this to the staff and were clearly unhappy about it, though did not insist on having the broths changed around. What happened next made it the most awkward and uncomfortable dining experience ever. From where we were sitting, we could hear the owner reprimanding the staff for the error, throughout our meal. We understand mistakes occur and if the owner was unhappy about the mistake and genuinely wanted to apologise, taking the initiative to change the broth to the right setup, or a complimentary drink or dish would have gone a long way. But no, he chose to reprimand the staff within our hearing for the whole dinner (which didn't help the situation one bit and made the experience worse! . We felt sorry for the staff. Even with the hospitality shortage, that was a completely wrong way to help the staff improve, nor help retain them in the long run. I don't remember anything about the food, although photos did show a good range to choose from. At the end of the meal we each received a box of hello panda, which might have helped, if not for the fact they were expired. All in all, would not recommend."
