    This place is an old favourite that hubby has been going to since he was at uni. so a while ago…read morenow.... Its best value at lunch time where the price I don't think has changed for the last 5 years. There's a range of meats to chose from.There's also rice, the salads and condiments to help balance it out! Usually we go crazy on the Bulgogi and eat it Korean style - in a lettuce leaf with some chilli flavoured shallot salad or Kim Chi (spiced cabbage). Bacon and tongue with a bit of salt is also very flavoursome on the charcoal grill! Yep charcoal not gas BBQ - Hence the name I guess. There's complimentary (or I guess its part of the price!) tea and coffee. You can also finish your meal with orange or watermelon slices. If you're looking for a long lunch place. Here it is. Just don't wear your favourite outfit unless you want it to smell like Korean BBQ!

    I thought that there was something special that makes me think that we would come back for this…read morerestaurant, but after $100+ bill for five for a dinner. I am left with one thing, write down a review. The food: 1. Very ordinary. Of course you will cook your own. The point is, if you go to a Korean butchery, same meat, marinade, cut that they serve. As if they bought it straight and marked up the goods. Not even a house special. 2. Very expensive drinks. We went for cola and still expensive. Why? They maybe just bought it from regular groceries on sale. Service: 1. You need to catch the staff, they are not so visible in the area. Pretending to be busy. The place: 1. Someone has to re-think on the design of the place. The obvious. Ventilation (you should see when more customer cooking all together). 2. The facade looks inviting, better think again when you look at the menu before coming inside.

    #81 for 2021 We were…read morecelebrating a birthday.  My cousin said she made reservations at their favorite Thai food restaurant.  I trust my cousin. 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.

    Their papaya salad and green mango salad were my favorites. And curry as well , it was Tuesday…read moreevening but very crowded.

Fried ice cream,banana fritters and fried dough sticks with coconut ice cream and pandan sauce are just yum! Service wise though I found it a bit slow for the food to come out and staff would disappear at times,I found it staff to ask for the bill! And our desserts felt like it took ages! Best thing about this place is the desserts!

    My sister favorite restaurant! She kept on told me to go here with her so I made my time to come…read morehere . I ordered Deep fried soft shell crab -omg!!!! So crispy and so juicy inside every each bite has good flavor of seafood taste!! Omg especially when i deep the sauce kind of sweet and lilbit spicy? Delicious!!!! Fried knuckle-nothing to say but delicious!! This is really good crispy and juicy be honest a lot of fat in there but good taste of fat!!!! It's just melting in your mouth. Good and good!! The sauce whatever comes with? Just like Heaven!! I know it's maybe bothering you but I'm telling you the true.. good! Vermicelli salad with seafood-I usually I love this salad every Thai restaurant I go but this wasn't good as what I thought. Because need more lime and less sugar.. too sweet for me and even for my sister too.. but the seafood was so fresh and noodles was perfectly cook so I will just say good this dish too Steam rice-perfectly cook enough sticky Laos sausage- not for me but my family said it's good but sorry I'm not a sausage person but I can only tell this sausage is juicy and tender mean is good I guess. This Laos restaurant was bomb! It was delicious and before I leave I really want to try again!!!!

Venue is handy to Parramatta with plenty of parking. Group of 11 arrived at 8.30pm on a Sunday. Beers nice and cold - Best Buy is a bucket of 4. Fries and onion rings not the best - over cooked. We will be back but only for the wings.

    This gets a 5 from me mainly because I've been on the search for the best chicken wings and as far…read moreas my Sydney search goes, Hooters has them. I drove all the way there (45 minutes from Eastern suburbs) because my friend had recommended the wings. I see I am not the only one who has ventured here for wings. They were not as good as the ones in North America but I have written an entire blog post http://www.abroad-abroad.ca/Best+Sydney+wings about my wing search and these were by far the best. The crunch was there, the sauce was almost there and while the ranch dipping sauce didn't quite have the thickness and flavour of North America, the wings came with celery and carrots which made them the closest thing you can find. We actually shared the buffalo platter which came with chicken strips, shrimp and wings and all were tasty. We had a side of curly fries just to ensure maximum caloric intake and they were good too. The server was friendly and checked on us more often than many places I have been to in Australia. They were all quite pretty as one would expect. The overweight, balding male managers added a certain Je Ne Sais Quoi that just added to the whole experience. I will go back for sure!
