Thai Basil Restaurant

Food is excellent and so is the service.   One of our favorite places to eat in this area.

The best Thai food in the area. Worth the drive from Leesville/Fort Polk to Deridder. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. They have menu staples (great Pad Thai, delicious pineapple fried rice) as well as specials of the day (pumpkin curry was amazing). I recommend calling before you drive over there, though; the owners regularly close down the business for a few weeks/months when they go out of town.

Great find for the Deridder area. We had the Tom Gai soup and Red Curry. The soup does not come in the fire bowl as many Thai restraints serve, but it was still served uniquely in a beautifully simple, white, elongated oval bowl. The soup itself was delicious, a perfect combination of flavors. It could have a few more and variety of vegetables, but we will definitely be back for more either way. The curry was also very good, we got hot and it was very spicy but didn't overwhelm the flavor. My only complaint was again the vegetables, it was full of basically lots of bamboo shoots and chicken. Delicious bamboo shoots and chicken, but I prefer more variety. Thank you for giving Deridder a restaurant to look forward to dining in!  We will definitely be back for more!
