Quick info
About Sweet Basil Valley
Sweet Basil Valley is a restaurant at 1 Green Ln in Leeds, serving an extensive menu that spans both Chinese and Thai dishes. That range lets a table mix the two cuisines in a single meal. Crispy pork belly is ordered as a shared dish, and the menu also lists chilli salt and pepper squid and sweet and sour chicken. Food is served on textured ceramic plates. Decorative cherry blossoms hang overhead in the dining room, which gives the space its most noticeable feature.

Customer Review Summary
Three reviewers were less convinced. The chilli salt and pepper squid and the potato chips were not crunchy enough, and the potato chips were soft and chewy. A takeaway chow mein portion was small, with dishes lacking bold flavours, though the sweet and sour chicken was nice. Another found the food cold at an early evening visit, with a beef dish that tasted and smelled like it was cooked overnight, and called it pricey for what it was. One suggests booking first if travelling a distance.

“Had a lovely family meal tonight. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. One of my favourite restaurants. They were very helpful with my daughter who is celiac. Thank you 🙏”

“We had a takeaway and we were underwhelmed given the reviews. Found that the chow mein portion was small and that the dishes didn’t have bold flavours. Perhaps sitting in is a better experience. I will say that the sweet and sour chicken was nice but nothing stood out as exceptional.”
- Andy Carter
“Attended with a party of 8. Table ready right on time. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Very pleasant waiting staff. Food was absolutely beautiful. We all enjoyed it so much. We'll definitely return.”
- Lottie Lambert
“Had a fantastic meal here recently. The food was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully on those textured ceramic plates. We ordered a few different dishes to share, including the crispy pork belly. It was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of crunch. The atmosphere in the dining room is lovely, especially with the hanging decorative cherry blossoms overhead. We will definitely be back soon.”
- Eudonni Moricom
“Great atmosphere entwined with great service. The food is a little mid. The chilli salt and pepper squid could have been crunchier. The potato chips could have been a lot more crunchier and perhaps not as soft and chewy as they were. I would definitely come again and try more dishes. The menu is extensive.”
