This restaurant is located next to fast food chains and a gas station. Wanted to try that while I…read morepassed by the other day and hence decided to drop by here to check this place out. Walking into the restaurant, you will see modern interior as well as open concept restaurant. There are tables for large groups as well as small groups and the proximity to another table wasn't compact which was great as it gives more breathable space. Ordering was easy. The server will ask whether you are dining in or taking away and she will give a lunch menu which comes with a soft drink. I decided to pick up the normal menu and explored much further on what I would like to eat. In the end, I got myself a flat noodle with chilli basil as the sauce and beef for the extra ingredient. I also ordered a berry mint frappe as I was mesmerized by how it looked on the menu (and yes, I am a fan of berries related drinks). The frappe arrived first and first sip, it was like a berry slush with a hint of mint. Refreshing as well as fruity drink and you can't really stop sipping until the end. The main dish arrived next. The flat noodles are soft yet chewy and the sauce made the dish to have both sweet and spicy taste. The portion was quite a lot for one but the price was definitely on the pricier end. Sitting at a place where you could see the menu on the top of the cashier wasn't a good choice especially when your eyes are set on the dessert menu. Hence I got myself black sticky rice and thai custard. The sticky rice was chewy and the thai custard taste more like a pudding. Portion was much bigger than expected and had to take away as I chomped on quite a bit of food before the dessert break. Overall, it is definitely a good place to dine in and there are quite a bit of Asian foods (like Singapore Laksa) as well as a few burger dishes on the side.

It's located very close to the Maccas drive through. So when you are sitting in the restaurant,…read moredon't be too concerned when you keep on seeing hub caps roll pass your window. Really love the Pork Ribs, tender and beautiful flavours. The risotto ball thing is a little weird of a combination, so just need to get past that. Absolutely love the soft shell crab papaya salad. So that is definitely something to try on the menu. Also if you get take away you also get 10% off!

We dined at "In The Mood for Thai" for my mothers 60th family birthday dinner. She just loves Thai…read morefood and is always in the mood for it, so what an appropriate spot. My dad chose it. 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.

Everyone has their favourite Thai place but this restaurant surpasses all. I've been going here for…read morea long time now but everytime it's a consistent tasty experience. 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.
