Cool Basil

Cool Basil is a Thai restaurant that serves appetizers, soups, salads, curry dishes and noodle plates, with some Japanese and Chinese menu options as well. Its appetizer list includes crab rangoon, chicken satay, shrimp dumplings and Thai-style tempura, and the curries are made with coconut milk and a choice of meat. Diners can ask for their spice level, since the menu notes that many dishes are mild and not all are very hot.

The restaurant takes takeout orders directly and also works with third-party delivery apps. It does not take reservations or call-ahead seating, so guests should plan to walk in. Gift cards are available for purchase and balance checks. The restaurant is at 1250 86th Street in Clive.
