Holy Basil Parramatta

"Great pick for a late lunch. Amazing looking decor, fast tasty meals, only once we snagged a waitress walking past. We appreciate a lot of places in general are lacking staff yet there were a lot of staff allocated to a banquet table and only a few in the main service area. If you don’t mind lengthy service the food is definitely worth it. Photos show pork belly with chili and garlic, roast duck red curry, chicken skewers (amazing) and then their famous fried ice-cream with a delish caramel sauce and roasted coconut (you must try this)."

"One of the most popular Thai food in town, they have quite a few outlets. Check if there’s any closer to you if this isn’t the best outlet to visit. Environment 5/5 Very unique vibes in the restaurant, they built a second level within the restaurant and lots of Thai deco. But it can get really crowded and noisy during peak hours. Service 5/5 We took a seat upstairs, but the service never failed. They have staff up there to look after that level. Tom yum seafood 3/5 This is not up to expectation to be honest, could be due to localising the flavour, it is not sour and hot enough. And FULL of mushroomssssssss, very little seafood. Fish cake 5/5 I feel that this is a little bit overpriced, but luckily it taste good enough to feel worth ordering it. It’s flavourful and texture is just right perfect. Vermicelli salad 3/5 This is a disappointment honestly, amount of vermicelli is for 1 pax I guess, not for sharing. The salad dressing is nice, sour and spicy making it very flavourful. Roast pork stir fried vege 5/5 Unexpectedly huge portion! The amount of meat and vege is massive. The roast pork taste amazing. Fried ice cream 5/5 Must try for sweet tooth! Crepe outside is very thin and gives a nice texture on top of the soft Icecream inside. Dried coconut is quite sweet, so mix with the passion fruit to blend in sourness. Will I come back again 4/5 Will say a yes because there’s a lot more other dishes to try out Recommended dishes - fried ice cream - roast pork with vege"

"The long queues week after week, month after month are testament to how good this place is. The food is excellent and the ambiance is stunning. This is one of my go to places for Thai food and when I want somewhere special for guests. This is one of Sydney's standout experiences and I highly recommend it."

"Overall the food was really tasty. The part I don’t get is the pricing , really high price and the only differentiating factor was the ambience of the restaurant , the food was as good as many other Thai restaurants. I did it find it a bit too pricey. Portions were fair and the presentation of the food was good as well."
