Sweet Basil Thai Cafe

CLOSED This small Thai café at Ninth and Pine streets offers a quick and inexpensive solution to the downtown lunch-time dilemma. The sparse but sufficient menu features a few appetizers at a friendly price and an assortment of around seven familiar Thai entrees. Below the soft sound of the background music, diners can hear the sizzle of their recent order rushing from the kitchen. Options available include curry dishes, rice dishes and noodle dishes, such as a spicy panang or the standard pad Thai. Each entrée comes with the choice of chicken, beef, pork or tofu and is brought to the table in a hurry.
