I normally do all the party organising so I was a bit weary. But I had to commend him, I was very impressed. The restaurant was packed when we walked, that is always a good sign. They have tried to create that Thai, Balinese environment with the furniture which is great and all the girls serving you are Thai and so are the chefs, that is also a good sign. Most people in our group opted for the banquet which consisted of a variety of dishes. One of our guests suggested it wasn't enough so they ordered another main to share between 2. I can understand why, the food was absolutely delicious. I could not stop eating. I ordered a main, my favourite Thai dish - $15.90 - Chilli, Chicken & Basil Stir Fry. Bloody delicious. I also love Thai food but I am a huge critic. It has to be authentic tasting and have lots of chilli in it! I could not fault this place. The food was delicious and they served really big portions. I also tried the chicken fried rice, it also was good. The Banquet was good value - $25p.p for a minimum group of 4. We couldn't believe how fast the food came out. I am sure this was due to the flaming kitchen! You know it's a talented chef when he can have the kitchen bursting in flames and still send the food out not tasting burnt. Good prices, good food, generous portions, friendly waitresses - you can't go wrong.

I've dragged many a reluctant thai virgin here and converted them. I myself started to enjoy Thai food when I was introduced here. Yes, it's that yum. The service is very friendly and thai, they cater to whatever customisation whims you may have. The decor is clean and comfy, sort of a Balinese inspired style going on. It's a very open air restaurant but still indoors with a relaxing ambience. They do lunch and dinner options, including takeaway and delivery. Our favourites are the satay chicken skewers, marinated bbq beef strips and the best chicken pad thai known to man. I don't know what type of sauce they put in it but it is the kicker! Honestly we spent a good deal of time scouring Bangkok for a chicken pad thai dish that could even taste remotely close to what they do here to no avail. It's perfect. Now you can also do choose your own stir frys or noodle dishes where you can select whatever meat or sauce or noodle type to use. Customisation options is probably why I love this place. They also do some mean curries here if that's more your speed, try the massaman. There's plenty of choice for mains also. You can see the cooks cooking up a storm which results in being served food very quickly. They serve large portions so usually end up having to takeaway. I've yet to have a bad experience here and the prices very affordable here for the quality and quantity served which amounted to the five stars. Always recommend this place!

She has good taste.  We were a party of 15.  There was going to be lots of food.  My cousin kept pushing we get there all on time.  All of us.  In fact she was having us get there early. I like the name.  Holy Basil.  It fits.  To say the decor was the traditional setup at many Thai restaurants does not do it justice.  It was lavish and outstanding.  Everything looked brand new.  They seem to have a full bar and definitely had an exquisite wine cellar.   A 2nd floor was a little cramp.  It is where the restrooms are.  They only open for dinner.  They also fill up very fast.  As busy as they were the service was excellent.  I thought for sure there would be long pauses between the plates but that did not happen.  And did I say the place was getting packed?  I went upstairs to use the restroom and freshen up.  That floor too was packed.  They just opened up for crying out loud.  All this excitement was making me more hungry. No need to look at the menu my cousin knew what she wanted and had ordered prior to arriving.  If you have not been here before I suggest looking at the menu online.  It is quite extensive and will take you awhile to get through.  It will be also difficult to decide what to order. So many dishes to make you salivate.   10 different selections were ordered many were doubled.  Mango salad on whole snapper, ox tongue, pork belly on greens, spicy beef salad, pad si ewe, duck curry, banana frawn salad, bbq chicken, chicken wings and spring rolls. The duck curry stole the show for me.  Rich and savory loved it with the rice.  Didn't last long on the table.  Mango salad with the snapper was another winning dish.  The vinaigrette and crunchy salad made a nice pairing to the delicate soft flesh of the snapper.  Turns out that's their signature dish.  Impressive. I like the ox tongue with the spicy sweet sauce.  I wish there was more greens.  The tongue was not as tough as I thought it would be.  In fact it was quite tender and delicious.  The pork belly, like lechon, went the fastest.  What do you expect from a table full of Filipinos + one Korean who loves pork. Should've ordered 3 of those. lol.  What I liked about this pad siu ewe is the greens were not cooked with everything else but blanched then added for the final mix.  They  still had a crunch and didn't have a bitter taste from over cooking.  Just right I'd say.  Now the banana frawns were interesting.  They were okay.  Just like the bbq chicken and chicken wings.  They were also good but I have had them before except there was a richer depth of flavor from some of the subtle seasoning they used.  Spring rolls are spring rolls.  I ate one only to taste because that's something I have had many times.  I wanted more of the other dishes to fill by belly. Over all excellent, excellent food.  I could not be any happier.  We all had more than enough and there were no left overs except for rice. I now understood why my cousin was adamant to getting us all there by 4:30pm. I would do the same.  Although they don't open till 5:00pm you always have those, especially in a large group, who will come more than fashionably late.

The prices are reasonable and you will often get complimentary rice with your meals. The chargrilled turmeric and lemongrass chicken(thigh) with a small mint salad with dressing is fantastic. Although it would be nice with a little coriander and chilli. The green chicken curry is the best I have ever had; coconut milky, abundant asian herbs, spicy and sweet. The red curry chicken is also equally as wonderful. The hot and sour soup with oyster mushrooms and a few garlic prawns also had abundant flavours. The only downside is that their online lunch menu lists papaya salad with chicken. However this is not available at the restaurant. I was not a fan of their yellow curry chicken which was more like a slow cooked curry dish. Best Thai Restaurant in Parramatta.

Thai restaurants in Parramatta are a dime a dozen, there's new ones popping up all the time. But…read morethis hidden spot spells a bit of fresh air from the others. Located within walking distance (for me) we've tried this place twice before I decided to review. I don't like to be disillusioned from a successful first time visit and going twice ensures checking whether the service is consistent when it's different staff. So? This restaurant passed the test. The food is very much on par with other local Thai joints , if you know Parramatta you know the Thai place I'm talking about. What makes this restaurant stand out from the other Thai eats is the drinks. There's alot of Thai-competition in this suburb so you can't help but do comparisons, but knowing that if you choose here it'll be one of the top 3 choices worth going for at least. It's also open spaced but small, like it's squeezed into the apartment building, which is why it feels hidden I suppose. Give a try, Thai food is cheap what do you have to lose eh.

Chicken pad Thai 3/5, plenty of chicken, noodles were gummy and not much flavor. Overall mediocre meal. Reasonably priced for what we ordered.
