Thai Basil: Not just for tired shoppers

Despite Thai Basil’s location in Pacific Place, one of Hong Kong's busiest shopping malls, the restaurant is a popular destination in its own, serving delicious fusion Thai fare.

Look elsewhere if you’re sweating for fiery curries and authenticity: this is Thai food tamed for the shop-weary tai tai and the working set. But it’s good. A standout example would be Thai Basil’s mildly spicy grilled lamb rack curry. Appetizers like the fried shrimp cake and the deep fried soft shell crab roll are consistently delicious. Thai Basil normally impresses with the casual and friendly service, and diners leave thinking that they got their money’s worth.
