It has a more assertive taste than many other sweet basils. The herb has small leaves, purple stems and a subtle licorice or mint flavor&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thai_basil\">read more from Wikipedia<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thai Basil<\/strong> ( 5 locations in the <strong>Denver\/Colorado Springs<\/strong> area) is a fresh &#8220;now&#8221; restaurant offering <strong>Thai-Asian-Fusion<\/strong> cuisine.<\/p>\n<p>In a perfect balance of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yin_yang\"><strong>Yin &#038; Yang<\/strong><\/a><\/strong> ( <strong> \u9670\u967d<\/strong>, )  <strong>Thai Basil<\/strong> balances the old and new.  <strong>California-modern <\/strong>design mixes with old-<strong>burl <\/strong>table tops, old-country cabinets, an <strong>Asian<\/strong> bed-frame (used as a dining island) here or there and maybe modern fibreglas art on the wall.  I probably just &#8220;fused&#8221; the decor of the two locations   I&#8217;ve visited:  <strong>The Thai Basil Hang Out Grill <\/strong>   (<strong>3301 W 38th Ave.) <\/strong>and  the <strong>Washington Park <\/strong>location (<strong>540 East Alameda Ave<\/strong>.)    The <strong>East Alameda<\/strong> location has the bed-frame and fibreglas;  the <strong>TB Hang Out Grill<\/strong> incorporates the burl wood tables.<\/p>\n<p>I acquired a serious appreciation for <strong>Pad Thai <\/strong> in <strong>Southern California<\/strong> and <strong>Thai Basil <\/strong> serves a beautiful <strong>Pad Thai<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese<\/strong> menu items include:  <strong>starters<\/strong>, <strong>salads<\/strong>, <strong>soups<\/strong>, <strong>meats<\/strong>, <strong>seafoods<\/strong>, <strong>vegetables<\/strong>, <strong> <\/strong><strong>noodles<\/strong>, <strong> rice<\/strong>, <strong> deserts<\/strong> and more.    <strong>Thai Curries<\/strong>, <strong>Vietnamese Rice Noodle Bowl<\/strong>, <strong>Szechuan Asian Eggplant<\/strong>, <strong>Crispy Duck<\/strong> and <strong>Fried Rice <\/strong>are just a few facets of the fusion.  Some of my other favorites &#8211; besides <strong>Pad Thai<\/strong>  ($7.95)  are: <strong>Coconut Soup<\/strong>, <strong>Satay Chicken<\/strong>, <strong>Thai Spring Roll<\/strong> and <strong>Kung Pao Chicken<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Thai Basil<\/strong> has a full Bar with a good selection of <strong>Asian<\/strong> and domestic beers.  At the time of this post,  <strong>The Thai Basil Hang Out Grill<\/strong> location is serving:  (<strong>HANG ON TO YOUR HAT<\/strong>)<strong> $.25 cent <\/strong>domestic beers and <strong>$.50 <\/strong>cent imported beers.
