Spectacularly bad.
This place was always good and so they have always gotten busy. In fact the food was good enough to warrant a 35-40 minute wait. We've had a few mediocre meals there in the past when they've been busy but this was the final straw. And this is my first restaurant review. Ever.
It wasn't to be this time. After a 45 minute wait out on the street for Pad Thai, chicken and Cashew nuts, steamed rice and satay skewer entree, the order was just left on the counter. Another member of the public waiting for their takeaway came out and asked me what my name was and indeed it was mine.
After getting it home the chicken skewers tasted more like curry, and it's not a good sign whe...
Espectacularmente malo
Este lugar siempre fue bueno y, por lo tanto, siempre se han ocupado. De hecho, la comida era lo suficientemente buena para justificar una espera de 35-40 minutos. Hemos tenido algunas comidas mediocres allí en el pasado cuando han estado ocupadas, pero esta fue la paja final. Y esta es mi primera opinión del restaurante. Siempre.
No fue esta vez. Después de una espera de 45 minutos en la calle para la almohadilla tailandesa, el pollo y los anacardos, el arroz al vapor y el entrante del pincho de satay, el pedido se quedó en el mostrador. Otro miembro del público esperando su comida para llevar salió y me preguntó cuál era mi nombre y, de hecho, era mía.
Después...

En primer lugar, los sombreros se apagan a quien lo hace la pizarra para este restaurante. ¡El menú es enorme y el cambio de tiza de colores para cada plato merece una mención! He estado en la tuerca de albahaca Muchas veces para la cena y mi visita más reciente acaba de coincidir con la noche más calurosa de 2017, cuando todavía estaba a 38 grados a las 6 pm. ¡Tienes la última mesa junto al registro, así que pudimos leer las tres paredes de platos de pizarra! Además, bastante caliente y vapor al lado de la cocina muy ocupada! Comenzó con la placa de muestreadores, que consiste en bolsas de dinero, pasteles de pescado, rollos de primavera y gyoza. ¡Delicioso! Luego, el pollo verde, el curry...

Firstly, hats off to whomever does the chalkboard for this restaurant. The menu is enormous and the changing of coloured chalk for every single dish deserves a mention! Been to Basil Nut many times for dinner and my most recent visit just happened to coincide with the hottest evening of 2017, when it was still 38 degrees at 6pm! Got the last table next to the register so we were able to read all three walls of blackboard dishes! Also, pretty hot and steamy next to the very busy kitchen! Started with the sampler plate, which consists of moneybags, fish cakes, spring rolls and gyoza. Delicious! Then green chicken curry and the cashew nut seafood stir-fry w king prawns, calamari and plenty of g...
Now that I've left Mosman I'll give this place the review it deserves. I believe nobody writes reviews as it truly is a local gem and you usually need to book ahead as it is a small, busy restaurant. It's low key casual dining with food that's packed with great flavours at a very reasonable price. The prawn and scallop dumplings, chicken jao and pork belly are highly recommended.
¡Nuestro favorito para llevar y cenar! Siempre ocupado, la comida siempre es deliciosa, el personal siempre es amable, incluso cuando se escapa, ¡los pies! Nos encanta el pescado de chile caramelizado: nos recuerda los platos que comimos cuando estábamos en Phuket!
Our favourite local take away and dine in! Always busy, food is always delicious, staff always friendly even when run off there feet! We love the caramelised chilli fish - reminds us of the dishes we ate when we were in Phuket!

Great local Mossman eateryFood is consistently delicious, stunning and portions are generous.
Great place hidden away from the too touristy Katoomba main street.
