You…read moreshare your space with strangers beside you, sometimes they're louder than everyone in the room. The food is sooooooooooo very good. The highlight is a giant dish with crab and LOTS OF CURRY. They are NOT kidding! It's very delicious, it's not spicy. But very oily!! The crab is cooked so perfectly soft and this dish takes the longest to make. It's really really really good, you can totally drink the curry. And you're welcome to sit with me. Even our neighbours decided to order it. Although the curry crab really steals the show, my favourite favourite is the juicy pork neck and its accompanying delicious homemade spicy dip. OMGGGGGGGGG I could eat this whole thing without sharing!!!!!! Fried mussels are spicy!! But they're fresh and big mussels, with really tasty sauce. Careful not to eat the peppers! The dish looks small but I come with 4-5 people and everyone gets at least one. There's enough that some of us (like me!) get 2-3!! Such sharing companions! Fried rice (all flavours) come with scrambled eggs and Thai sweet sausage on top. I like this a lot actually and I mix it with whatever leftover curry I decide to drink up. Skewers!! They're good. Each marinated deep to the middle and flavourful, and this is BEFORE you dip the curry. The meat isn't very soft though. And with so much food, I would eat the first four things I listed above. THEN I'd consider if I want to order skewers. Lastly!!I really really like Thai iced tea. Here they call it Thai red tea. It's the same thing! And SO GOOD. They have other drinks like coconut, mango, lime. I think the pad thai and grilled squid tasted just average, nothing special.

However, considering the price point, my expectations were higher. I also felt that the portion sizes were overpriced. On the positive side, the restaurant provided quick service.

The interior is beautifully decorated, creating an elevated Thai dining experience that's unassuming from the outside looking in.

Food: 4 stars Service/environment: 4.25 stars Value: 4.5 stars Overall: 4.25 stars Recommendations: fried perch with chili jam, coconut dumplings My favorites of the meal were the fried perch with chili jam and fried basil and the coconut dumplings. The fish was nicely fried and the flavors of the chili jam and basil really highlight what I love about Thai cuisine hitting on the sweet, sour, and spice notes. The coconut dumplings don't look very special at first glance. However, when you bite into them there is a ton of flavor. The dumplings include shredded coconut in palm sugar. Palm sugar is quickly becoming one of my favorite ingredients.

The tom yum soup had an insane amount of shrimp, we counted 14, for 98hkd. It was a good balance of hot and sour. Loved the stir-fried baby cabbage...well seasoned and cooked perfectly.

It tasted good and was definitely a needed change of pace from the other options closer to my hotel. As of 2019, lunch set runs under 100 HK dollars.

Apparently, they have genuine chefs, from Thailand and India to make the Thai or Indian curry to your liking. The service is pleasant and efficient. They have seating outside so you feel like you are eating alfresco, even though it inside the Mall area. The Mall is quiet unlike other Hong Kong Malls, so it is very relaxing to eat there. The set lunches are good value, a meat dish with rice and a drink, and you can add extra options, like naan bread, for a few more dollars. I chose the beef brisket yellow curry which was very tender, just the way I like it, and the heat was very mild, so I can taste the food rather than being so hot that my eyes water, that to me is not enjoyment! It is on Level 7 of the Metropolis Shopping Mall next to Hung Hum Station, which is a bit misleading, as it is right immediately near the entrance, so you do not need to go up or down, as you are already at Level 7, when you enter from the Station.

What's amazing is that they serve up authentic Thai food. I've been here a few times and it's has never disappointed me. Tom Khaa Kai, Pad Thai, and Hanianese Chicken are some of my favourite dishes. There's so much flavour in everything! This is their first branch so the décor has never been updated. Think simple 2nd floor shop. Ma & Pa style decorations and tiny toilets. Their Causeway Bay shop is loads better with décor but it's missing a je ne sais quoi. Some notes: There are loads of dishes that you may want to order a head of time. So check out them menu and give them a call. Also lunch, dinner and bigger parties should book ahead. It's a small dinning room. Would definitely come back!

Apparently every table at the restaurant was celebrating birthdays. With the lead of Chingmy, all the waitresses started coming out and danced along. Although we didn't celebrate anyone's birthday at our table, we enjoyed the vibe and clapped along with the Thai birthday song. When it comes to food, you're rest assured you can get authentic Thai food here. We pre-ordered 2 plates of raw shrimp in advance and they were very fresh! We also ordered some beef and chicken satay skewers, shrimp cakes and fish cakes as appetizers. Oh my lord... the fish cakes were the best I've ever tried! Chewy yet not fishy! For the main course, we had pork knuckles, grilled fish with lemon sauce (served on the grill), curry with deep fried chicken and the stir-fried clams in chili paste. Everything was rich in flavor and simply delicious!!! For dessert, of course we cannot miss the mango sticky rice! There was not one dish that was just mediocre. I must say everything was excellent here! Sawali Club is a private kitchen, so do book in advance and they only accept cash. I recommend this place for groups as you can order many dishes to share.

She decided to take me here with our entire family for a Friday lunch. It's definitely somewhat no frills, not much decoration aside from a little bit of traditional Thai decor. The menu is quite vast, though their lunch specials was what I cared about, and one of the items that I haven't seen much in Canada is boat noodles, so that was what I went for. They were really good! The broth had a lot of flavour, the noodles were wide, and there were plenty of pork balls and sliced pork that were all tasty. My family shared a plate of chicken wings with fish sauce and pork skewers. The chicken wings were extremely juicy, and the pork skewers were unique in that they were thinner slices than what I'm used to, and barely any fat. Service was average, there wasn't much interaction with the servers here. Nonetheless for places like this I come for the food, and I was very happy with the results.

The built in mapping function in Yelp is also great especially when you're traveling and trying to figure out where things are from your hotel.This was especially helpful since I was not familiar with Hong Kong. Sweet Basil Thai Cuisine restaurant is within a short walking distance to my hotel, The Salisbury YMCA. The restaurant is on the second level of Harbor City mall. Even though I was alone, I was immediately greeted by smiling and very well-dressed staff in traditional Thai silk clothing. The restaurant has about 40 tables. Plenty of four and two tops. Decor is a nice soft and clean contemporary style. I was seated immediately during dinner hours. They have a nice wine list and plenty of choices in the menu. The menus have English language translations for all items. I was definitely ready for some softshell crab and it was on the menu. My dishes came out one by one from the kitchen, were served at the proper temperature, and well presented. I could tell the dishes were all prepared with care and perfect amounts of seasoning. The deep-fried, lightly breaded softshell crab appetizer was perfect. The prawn Penang curry with steamed rice was one of the best I've ever had. My taste buds and tummy were very happy. Service was cheerful and attentive. My bill came in at roughly $57 US after converting from Hong Kong dollars. My credit card was cheerfully accepted here. In summary, I highly recommend this restaurant for excellent Thai food, great service, and nice atmosphere. Next time I'm in Hong Kong (Tsim Sha Tsui) I will definitely get my Thai cuisine fix here.
