"Located in a Fashion District food court, this Thai takeout counter works well for a quick to-go curry. The menu is full of staples you’ve probably had before, like pad kee mao and gra pow, plus some you haven’t (like yellow curry rigatoni). Either way, the food at Holy Basil features bright and bold flavors that make dishes here taste like you’re eating them for the first time. If you’re looking for a good place to start, get the tom yum soup with roasted chili jam, lemongrass, and galangal. If you’re eating on-site, expect a minimalist set of outdoor tables and stools." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
