Serves meat, vegan options available. Casual nice Thai food restaurant. Menu includes some vegetarian choices--has tofu and mock duck. Open Mon-Sun 11:00am-4:00pm, 5:00pm-8:00pm.
Red Basil has to be my favorite restaurant in Rutherford. The food is not only delicious but every dish can be made vegan. The Golden Tofu chef special is so amazing that it’s turning into one of my meals. The service is excellent, my family and I have been going for around a year now, and every time we come in the staff knows who we are and can predict our orders for us! The restaurant itself is beautiful too, with an atmosphere that is regal yet sets a comfortable vibe. I’d highly recommend checking out Red Basil, you don’t get restaurants much better than this.
Great food, you can ask them to veganize the dishes and they know what that means.

I order from the place all the time and have never once had an issue with my order. They can veganize most things. Support this restaurant!
Pretty much all of their dishes can be made with the veggie duck which is vegan. I recommend the spicy basil fried rice (ask for no egg for vegan) or the pad string bean.
They’re very attentive to vegans as well and know the right things to ask.
Found this place via uber eats and cannot stop ordering. Everything is fresh and delicious! The massaman and green curries are a go to, as are the drunken noodles and pad see ew. As for appetizers, the taro pancakes and scallion pancakes are phenomenal, and the vegan combo is a great deal! The employees are so kind and have always been willing to answer any questions I may have.
Thank you Casse! Your review popped up as a notification for me and I think I found a great new local Thai option! Taro pancakes and scallion pancakes both vegan right? Awesome news! Thanks again,
In town on business and ordered take out - my food was great and the order was exceptionally well packed. I appreciate that veg dishes are easily identified in the menu/descriptions.
( I’d give 5 stars if the app would allow- only allows if restaurant is fully vegan or vegetarian)
I haven’t had Pad Thai in years and I was finally able to enjoy it. I was very pleased with the food, selection, and service. I can’t wait to go again!
The staff is really knowledgable about veg options. Many veg options. My husband's red curry was GREAT! I had the golden tofu, which was also very tasty (peanuts
Small place, good service, BYOB.
Definitely check out the Golden Tofu and Tofu Tod. They are my FAVORITES. My husband always orders one of the Vegetarian Duck dishes. Bring some wine and your appetite!
