This has been my all-time favorite Thai restaurant in Hong Kong in the past 10 years. The menu offers a huge range of choices and it is difficult to order something that disappoints. Almost every new dish I try is consistently kept to a high standard, and a few exceptional, memorable dishes are what keep me, my family and my friends coming back.

I rarely write food reviews and almost never remember to take photographs of my meals, but I believe Sweet Basil in Causeway Bay deserves a review from me. 

Grilled Squid with Lime Sauce 
- Don't confuse this with grilled squid without the lime sauce. This is a little bit on the spicy side, but I've been unable to replicate this dish at home. Certainly worth a try. The squid meat is also extremely tender and we just love the sauce that goes with it. Around $158.

Tom Yum Kung Soup (with Seafood)
- This is one of the best I've found across all of the Thai restaurants in Hong Kong, including those in Kowloon City. Very coconut-y, not overly oily, with excellent use of herbs and a very generous helping of seafood ingredients. Around $60-$70 per serving. 

Curry Prawns (Dry)
- Go for the dry curry prawns--they're huge, the curry is absolutely delicious (could go with rice), and the prawns are incredibly juicy. Similar for crab, although this is not recommended on a romantic date as it could get a little messy. Probably just under $200 for half a dozen king prawns.

Coconut Baked Rice (with Seafood) 
- This one is a Thai version of melted cheese on carbs, except it's with a sweet coconut sauce. The sweet corns and peas go perfectly with the melted coconut cream. I just wish there was less rice and more of the coconut! Around $158.

Pineapple Duck Breast
- Juicy and succulent duck breast. If you like sweet and sour, this is a great dish. It's also served in a hollowed-out pineapple. Around $158.

Grilled Pork Neck
- The all-time must-order dish for everyone. Very affordable for the big portion and probably the best grilled pork neck you can find in Hong Kong. Around $118-$128.

If you are a first-timer, I suggest you avoid the noodle dishes as they tend to be rather uninspired. 

Service cannot be better, but that could be because a lot of the attendants there recognize us and therefore always pay special attention to make sure we're happy. I also think that it says something about a chained restaurant when its employees have been able to stay and work there for a decade or more, in an industry where people come and go quickly.

是日約了友人前來金不換吃泰菜作晚餐,完全跌了watt,菠蘿海鮮炒飯,飯完全沒有咖哩香味只有顏色,海鮮只鋪在飯面,肉鬆腰果另一小碟上,炒飯還與臘肉粒同炒感覺在吃臘味飯,海鮮沒有半點海鮮味。生菜豬肉包,豬肉炒得太咸,芒果椰汁糯米飯,椰汁溝了太多糖很甜,冬蔭公湯料不足,只得辣味沒有半點香茅香,湯溝太多水味太薄。

一大班人(13位)想食一餐唔容易,但昨晚發現有個好地方,食得豐富又開心,先黎小碟(其實一點也不少),牛油果柚子沙律,柚子大大粒,爽甜好味;蝦仁餅魚餅炸脆香口;泰式豬頸肉大片又爽;燒魷魚香味彈牙,只是牛肉沙律比較奇怪,有點似生菜夾牛肉😜特點泰式青口,少少辣,惹味👍👍👍至於泰式料理又點少得咖哩蟹,加上蒜蓉多士,好好味,咖哩不辣只有香甜味道,蟹肉又鮮美,好滋味👍👍👍咖哩羊排也是不容錯過,羊肉軟嫩好味,咖哩汁配飯,食多兩碗都得,正正正。總之今次人多又可以食得豐富飽肚,好開心喔^^

跟朋友去此店聚餐,二人叫了三様東西,首先來個柚子沙律,约百幾元一個,味道很凊新,有很多柚子,酸酸辣辣很開胃,喜歡柚子的友人十分喜愛此沙侓,我不太喜歡食沙律所以食了不太多。叫了燒雞,已經切開一件件,再砌返成隻雞出來,很細心,味道好,皮很香脆,肉不鞋很滑,亦很大件,隻雞不細,一定夠食。泰式炒飯很惹味,炒飯不乾不濕,剛剛好,只嫌料不多,多些料更好食。

有一段時間無嚟過金不換,之前一次大概三個月前在黄埔店食過,知道銅鑼灣店從利舞臺廣場6樓搬咗上7樓,所以嚟試下。餐廰整體裝修及擺設是比較西式,空間也比較多,餐枱之間也有充裕嘅空間,感覺舒適。我們二人點了芒果汁(2),炸蝦餅,蠔油香菇炒竹芯,泰式炒金邊粉,本來想點生蝦刺身,點知waitress話在午餐時已賣晒,有D失望。我每次嚟必點嘅係芒果汁,用鲜芒果加小量嘅冰洨碎,䬪落有很香芒果味,鍾意芒果嘅朋友必點。蠔油香菇炒竹芯好似係一様新的菜式,我從未食過竹芯,雖然呢碟餸唔多似正宗泰國菜,所以決定試下,總體感覺一般,味道很淡,竹芯很爽口但無乜味,這道菜很健康,適合素食人士。炸蝦餅仍保持水準,首先是量很足,一碟有4個像Donut般大的蝦餅,蝦味很重,香口彈牙,必食之選。通常食泰菜都會點咖喱配白飯,今天選食Pad Thai,這店用的配料包括芽菜,豆乾,蛋及九菜,花生碎放在旁邊,我最初以為會有蝦,但估計錯誤。金邊粉炒得有鑊氣,味道也適中,但有點不正宗,這道菜一般是生芽菜放在旁邊,不會與金邊粉一齊炒,可能是遷就很多香港人唔食生芽菜嘅原因。總體感覺很好,服務也周到,會再嚟。
