Restaurant Details

Occupying two floors in an industrial space rife with metal chairs and modern decor, Basil's tasty, comforting Thai fare belies its sleek digs. Some of the best dishes rarely pop up on local menus. The peurk tod, or taro fries, stand out, as do sakhoo saimu, or tapioca pork dumplings, and the potent "saketinis" garnished with sake-injected lychees. That said, customers electing to go with something familiar ― like pad Thai or pineapple beef―won't be disappointed.

  • Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
