Hear from our valued guests
We went on a Monday night and had a fabulous meal. Colt was our server and he was great! My boyfriend had the duck and I had pataya-both were very delicious. Of course we had a couple sushi rolls, the crab rangoons, and dumplings (my favorite) Everything was 10/10!!!
The food was amazing. I had the General Tso's with fried rice. Even had a slice of chocolate cake that reminded me of the cake from the movie "Matilda". Delicious. Never had to worry about my water glass being full and enough food to share if wanted. You dont like spice? Tell them no spicey and its out of there. Fantastic. The pics are from others meals at my dinner. Everything was great. Call ahead for quicker seating.
Stopped in after visiting the HOF and was very impressed. Our server Oscar was very attentive. The food came out fast and was extremely flavorful. The miso soup was “elite” and I thoroughly enjoyed the spicy crab roll and dumplings, although they were sweeter than expected. The entrees were great. Curry fried rice was a unique take on a classic Thai dish, and the beef was flavorful and spicy. Would highly recommend if you’re in town. 4.5/5-BJ
I really enjoyed my experience there today. The food was really good. I attempted to try as much as I could. The service was very attentive and the atmosphere felt comfortable. Will definitely consider it in my future outings.
Great variety of Asian cuisine! Pad Thai was tasty. Wish i knew why their steamed edamame was so good. Sat at the bar & enjoyed some of their NA's. They had 4 kinds & my buddy enjoyed one of their many taps.
I can't say enough about this place. The sushi is the best in NE Ohio, the only seafood worth eating if you're inland. the service is immediate, accommodating and relaxing. Colton was my server, and he should be commended for his outstanding service. Prompt and knowledgeable. Helpful and engaging. Come for the food, but stay for the hospitality. 10/10
If you’re looking for a spot in Canton that balances elevated flavor with a little attitude, Basil Asian Bistro delivers in all the right ways. The vibe walks a confident line—polished but not pretentious, with just enough edge to make it feel like more than your typical night out. The menu leans bold, and it shows. The seasonal martini is a standout—thoughtfully crafted, not overly sweet, and layered with flavors that feel intentional rather than trendy. It’s the kind of cocktail that makes you slow down and actually enjoy it. And then there are the spicy wontons with egg—absolutely worth the hype. They come through with heat, richness, and depth, without being overwhelming. It’s comfort food with a kick, done right. Easily one of those dishes you think about long after you leave. Overall, Basil Asian Bistro hits that sweet spot: creative without trying too hard, upscale without losing its edge. Definitely a place you go when you want something a little more memorable than the usual dinner rotation.
Best Asian food in Ohio! Been here a bunch and 10/10 will come again!
Basil Asian Bistro- you did it again! We had reservations for a Saturday night at 6:30pm. Our server was outstanding! He was patient very helpful with the menu as we had newcomers in our party. He knew the menu very well and could direct our experience based on our taste preferences. Drinks- Martini 🍸 and mojito were stellar. Appetizers- Salt and Pepper Calamari had the perfect crunch with a hint of spice. The Thai Dumplings were filled with flavor and tasted out of this world. Entrées- We had a party of four with a something ordered from every corner of the menu. Everyone had nothing but amazing things to say about the flavor and the overall texture and presentation of their food. I personally had the Vietnamese Pho and I cannot even describe how good the beef broth was with the two sauces they put on the side. Let’s just say, I am so glad I have leftovers to take home. A gem to have in Canton. Cheers!
I went into Basil Asian Bistro a bit skeptical—restaurants that serve multiple Asian cuisines can sometimes miss the mark—but this place genuinely surprised me in the best way. The restaurant was very clean, the staff was attentive and friendly, and the prices were shockingly affordable. I’m a Pad See Ew person, and I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw that dish priced at $10. Not only was it affordable, it was the best Pad See Ew I’ve had in a long time. It wasn’t overly salty and came with more vegetables than usual, which really helped balance out the meal. We also ordered the hot and sour soup. While it wasn’t the best version I’ve ever had, it was still good—just a bit heavier on the egg than I’m used to. One standout surprise was the fried eggplant from the Shareables section. I loved that it wasn’t drenched in sauce; instead, the sauce comes on the side, which lets the eggplant shine on its own. I also really appreciated that they offer brown rice as an option—a small detail, but a meaningful one if you’re looking for a more nutritious alternative. Overall, Basil Asian Bistro exceeded my expectations. The value, flavor, and care put into the food really stood out. The next time I’m back in Canton, OH, I’ll absolutely be returning to try more dishes.
