“ Another great spot to enjoy some wonderfully prepared Asian flavors. I ordered chicken fried my favored chicken fried rice and pork egg rolls that did not disappoint my palate. The wait staff was quick, friendly and informative when asking questions related to the tasty flavor. The total environment was full of cheer alerting all that everyone seemed to be enjoying their selective choices as if in food heaven! ”

“ Stopped in on a Saturday for an early dinner. Service was kind and attentive. Food was great- had the Tom Ka Kai and drunken noodles, both with chicken. The soup was amazing! The noodles were good. Definitely worth another visit. ”

“ Great find for dinner on our way through town! Large menu, friendly service, and quick food. We ordered lo Mein, sesame chicken, pad see ew, and drunken noodles. All were hot and super tasty! Way better ambience than you would expect from a strip mall. We would definitely eat here more if we lived in town. The only reason I didn't give 5 starts is because there was a little wear and tear on finishes in the restaurant, but seriously this was a great little find! We will stop here again when traveling through. ”

“ Now that we aren't under Covid-specific precautions, I'm more of a regular at this location. The hours of operation are no longer a problem Instead, there is usually a crowd of people picking up orders to go when I get there. I can listen to the soft music in the background while I wait for the crowd to clear so I can be seated. They clear out quickly enough. I decided to try something new this time so I asked the waitress what's popular. She suggested the mango delight stir-fry, and I think I have a new favorite. ”

“ We hadn't been there in a few years but heard they were under new management so decided to give them another try - glad we did! We ordered the crab rangoon - 10/10, crispy & nicely browned, the filling was delicious, plenty of crab, cream cheese filling and scallions. The dipping sauce was sweet with a little heat. The steamed pot stickers were wonderful, delicate and light, sprinkled with scallions, chili flakes, shredded cabbage, bell peppers -10/10. The chicken satay skewers (4) were huge and very good, came with toast, cucumber/onions, peanut sauce - 8/10. My husband had the seafood madness special with scallops, crab, mussels and shrimp - 9/10, he loved it. I asked for sweet & sour crispy chicken. She asked my spice level and I said zero, I may have liked it better had I upped the level. It tasted a little fishy to me but my husband said it's the best he's ever had. Servings are huge and for 3 full appetizers, a beer, and 2 entrees, the bill was only $68! Definitely good food and prices, we'll be back. ”

“ Traveling with family and trying to find a place that everyone wants to stop at can be tricky at times. Cool Basil offers Asian fusion with dishes inspired by Japanese, Chinese, and Thai cuisine. So sushi, curries, and fried rice dishes. Great, everyone is happy. This place is in a strip mall but offers plenty of seating. There is a sushi station in the middle with seating all around the counter forming a U - shape. The kids liked sitting at the station and watching their sushi being rolled and made. We also tried their fried rice and some Thai noodle dishes like Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. All the dishes were fresh, tasty and satisfying. The sushi fish was very fresh and of good quality. Portion vs. price was very accommodating, we even took some of the noodle dishes home for another meal. My family also liked the addition of Thai fortune cookies, another interesting variation from traditional strip mall Asian restaurants. ”

“ This was my first time at the Altoona location. I believe they have the same menu as Clive, but the restaurant has a way more casual vibe being in the strip mall and is smaller in size. Our server was attentive and helpful today. I had the Honey chicken and it had good flavor and the chicken had perfect texture. I always recommend adding some spice to the dish as well. Reasonably priced. ”

“ Always good food, and a comfortable dining area. We were greeted served in a timely manner. ”

“ This restaurant is under new owners! For years I would get food at Cool Basil Altoona under the previous owners and the food was OK but they never got the spice right. This time we ordered - I got 4 Papaya Salad, 5 Larb and my goodness, delicious! There were fresh chilies like you would expect for these dishes. The shrimp in a blanket was a pleasant addition! My husband got the Pad See Ew and normally when we get take out, the noodle dishes are very dry (even from the best places). The noodles were not dry at all, had the perfect amount of heat, and were overall delicious. If you're in the area I definitely recommend giving Cool Basil another shot if you've been disappointed in the past! ”
