It was not too busy between lunch and dinner. We came in and they seated us promptly. The decor is very cute and fanciful. Like a wedding party. You order from your phone from a qr code website. It is very hands off and convenient. We got roti with curry sauce as the appetizer and it was yummy. A bit expensive, but good. Don't get pho noodles with the noodle soups. They are overcooked and too soft. We got Tom yum soup and chicken Laksa. The soups were OK tasting.

Had a nice dinner at Amazing Basil in Fremont. The Pad Thai was decent, and the papaya salad had a great kick that really hit the spot. The ambiance was one of my favorite parts. Beautiful atmosphere with cute decor throughout that made the place feel warm and inviting. Overall, a great place to enjoy Thai food, and I'd definitely come back to try more dishes.

After a year in my bookmarks, finally got around to Amazing Basil in for their lemongrass chicken laksa noodle soup which does have a kick but not unbearably hot. The basil pork with rice and egg wasn't what we expected though so was a bit disappointed. Being under the BBQ special section, was expecting grilled pork slices vs. ground pork. But would be back for their different laksa and drinks like their mango mojito made with mango puree and pure sugar cane juice that was so good, I got a second one to go. You do order by a QR code so if you want to add more food or drinks, they have to reopen your tab for you.

Papaya salad with shrimp, mild spicy
AiFen S.

I've dined in a handful of times over the last few years but have ordered Door Dash or takeout from here another handful of times. When I've gotten takeout I have almost always gotten the premium bbq combo with garlic noodles. The portions are hearty with flavorful meats that last me for 2 meals. This latest time my friends and I were able to dine in I got to sit on what I would call the "pretty" side where the wall was decorated beautifully. In the past I have only sat at the side closest to the door. We decided to order a few of their appetizers and small dishes to share instead of what we normally opt for. I really enjoyed the papaya salad, clams, and fried eggplant sticks. We got there pretty close to when the restaurant opened and were able to enjoy a very leisurely and comfortable lunch catching up. I know I will likely order the premium bbq combo again in the near future for work lunch and maybe try a few other dishes when I dine in next.

Great ambiance and delicious food! Went there to celebrate a friend's birthday. Restaurant has beautiful floral decor which added to our celebration! Food was delicious but the service was a bit slow since they had only two servers on the floor. Most dishes were awesome but few were a miss. For a Thai place in Bay Area, their spice level is pretty much on a mild side. They have QR self ordering on the phone so it was quick but if you have questions then you had to wait until you could get the server's attention. Their drink menu is mostly boba teas & few sake based cocktails. Overall a great experience! Ambiance: 10/10 Service: 8/10 Food: 8/10 Music: 9/10 Seating: indoor Parking: Ample, free parking available Price: $35-$45 per person

I want to start off by mentioning the location--it's in a great spot with plenty of things to check out nearby. I stopped by a bakery and a Japanese grocery store before coming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. We were seated right away and able to place our order quickly, which I appreciated. However, I was a bit bummed about the food. My soup had little to no flavor--I understand it may not be their specialty, but it could definitely use a bit more seasoning. I also ordered a Thai tea with 100% sugar, and it still tasted a bit bland. Overall, the place is really cute and has a nice vibe, and parking is easy since there's a large lot available. I would come back, but I'd probably try something different next time.

Shrimp laksa
Kate X.

This place is my friends' post hike go-to place. There's usually no-wait for getting a table, even for big group of people. The service is super good - the servers are super attentive in refilling the water jugs, and the food is served super quickly after ordering. There is a wide variety of south east Asian entrees on the menu. I've tried the laksa and khao soi curry noodles and both were great. My friends also really like the rice plates and the soft crab bread bowl. The drinks are also reasonably priced and tasty as well.

Singapore chili crab cracker
Arianne P.

The food here is seriously tasty. My sister and I started with the Singapore Chili Crab Crackers, and they were incredibly addictive--crispy, savory, and packed with flavor. For mains, I had the Salty Egg Yolk Fried Rice with tiger shrimp, which was rich, fragrant, and super satisfying. My sister ordered the seafood laksa noodles. While it was still good and flavorful, we've definitely had laksa elsewhere that was creamier and a bit more indulgent. We also tried the fresh sugarcane juice, which was light, naturally sweet, and really refreshing alongside the meal. Service was solid, and everything ran smoothly. There's no physical menu--you scan a QR code and order straight from your phone, which was easy and convenient. The space itself is huge, with tables nicely spaced out, so it doesn't feel crowded even when it's busy. Overall, a great spot for bold flavors, with a few standout dishes we'd happily come back for.

Khao Soi w/ Deep fried chicken 清邁炸雞咖喱面
Rony Q.

My group loved the food here! My friends and I came because we were feeling Thai for dinner and we saw that Amazing Basil has a good amount of vegan options for one of our guys that was on a short term vegan diet. I ordered the khao soi with fried chicken and the others ordered fried chicken with massaman curry and a vegan seafood laksa noodle. We also got the fried eggplant sticks to share. All the food was amazing! We enjoyed our dishes and it left us wanting more. My khao soi was good, but the fried chicken was THE HIGHLIGHT of the dish, almost to the point that it made the curry and noodles seem a bit bland, but alternating between the soup/noodles/fried chicken was so good. My friends also really enjoyed their meals, one commenting that they really enjoyed the sweet potato chunks in their curry and wished there was more of it, and the other commenting that their vegan seafood dish was surprisingly good (although it had a hard boiled egg in it). We were also SHOCKED by the eggplant because we had no clue it was as big as it was. It was like over a foot long. The ketchup drizzled on top... wasn't the most appetizing vibe and I wish it was just on the side (and I'd argue ranch would be even better)

Vegan Thai tea. Oat milk!! Props for being thoughtful!
Megan C.

Restaurant week 2026! Sad I missed 2025 (I was out of state and although flew back during restaurant week on a weekend, THEY ONLY SERVE THIS SPECIAL DURING DINNER ON THE WEEKDAYS... good excuse to get out of the house ;)!) Went here for the first time in 2024 during restaurant week. Was super sad they took over 369 but they serve legit food! Malaysia, Viet, Thai... ***heard their laksa is bomb dot com but I'm allergic to coconuts...*** Their plate for restaurant week is pretty much the same every year (like in 2024 they gave sugarcane as the beverage) but it's awesome they don't cheap you on the ingredients used such as for the vegan Thai tea, they used oat milk! No poultry on the plate! Beef, shrimp, fish, vegan beef, etc... Why 4 stars? I just wished their papaya salad had more flavor because I'm obsessed with papaya salad (which typically has MASSIVE amounts of flavor esp in Thailand!). Moreover, I disliked their huge arse strips of eggplant (aren't they typically thin slices?). Plus love Thai basil beef but chunks of meat were huge and dry. But OVERALL, I can't complain. SERVICE: They are REALLY nice. I had someone try the Thai tea first who told me it was coconut milk so I told one of the servers I'm allergic to coconuts and could I just have the traditional Thai tea...they're like it's made out of oat milk. When the plate came out, the server still remembered this teeny tidbit (they were busy with multiple big tables) and emphasized what had coconut and for me to watch out...MAJOR PROPS! Pay upfront at the cashier or online via the QR code. (You also order via the QR code) VIBEZ: Definitely Hawaiian vibes. Lots of wedding esque decor. Clean. Located in the Osaka marketplace (who remembers this was the lion marketplace?!) and lots of parking. Would I come back? Yes!

Amazing Basil was fantastic! I ordered the Bun Bo Hue and the fried quail, and both were delicious. The Bun Bo Hue had a rich, flavorful broth with just the right amount of spice, and the fried quail was crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Great food and friendly service. I'll definitely be back!

Seafood Laksa with Thick Rice Noodles ($18.50)
Melanie H.

Interesting concept as they offer a fusion of Southeast Asian dishes, mainly Thai, Vietnamese, and Singaporean/Malaysian. Very solid flavors, I'd definitely come back to try more items! RECS: + Seafood laksa ($18.50) was my favorite, I got it with thick rice noodles (think bun bo hue!). Lots of proteins and flavor from the laksa + Singaporean chili crab cracker ($15) reminded me of bun rieu in terms of the seemingly tomato based flavor, but it was good and different! PASS: + Roti curry (9.25) reminded me of Thai curry which was pretty good, just wasn't a fan of the roti

Papaya salad 3.5/5 asked for no peanuts
Jenny D.

The food is OK. Vietnamese and Thai fusion. Slightly gives me the impression of the saying, Jack of all trades, but master of none. Flavor was really lacking in this meal except for the fish sauce wings. The interior is ornate with fake flowers everywhere. In a sense it's very pretty and I appreciate the effort, but I also don't love fake flowers and mediocre food. Instagram worthy rarely equates to quality food. Pad Thai: 3/5 not very special. A little lacking in flavor fell flat for me. Fried tofu with garlic noodles: 3/5 the noodles were bland Fish sauce wings: 5/5 starved the mule delicious crispy great flavors Shrimp papaya salad: 3/5 a little bland compared to other Thai restaurants. Usually this appetizer explodes with flavors, but this one was a little watered down. Roti with curry sauce: 5/5 people loved this one, curry sauce was delicious Overall, four out of five stars because service was easy and quick just ordered through a QR code. A few of the plates we ordered were really good while the rest were un-impressive.

Great find! Came here to do a small celebration for May birthdays! Glad we chose this place because…read moreeverything we got was so yummy and delicious. If you come here, get all the specials like the Pad Thai Tiger Prawns and Crispy Pompano, a must! Service was also awesome, very attentive and kept checking on us. Place was not big but they were able to accommodate 10 people comfortably. Prices are reasonable too!

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant and will not be returning…read more I called multiple times around 9:03 PM to place a takeout order. My calls rang repeatedly without being answered, and one call was picked up and immediately disconnected. Since I was already driving there, I went in person and saw an employee standing at the register, which made the lack of response even more frustrating. When I placed my order, I requested Tom Kha soup with mushrooms only, but was told that was not possible and that I had to choose either vegetables or shrimp. I explained that mushrooms were the only vegetable I wanted in the soup, but I was still told no. I then ordered spicy eggplant with ground chicken and two jasmine rice. After I paid for my order, I realized I wanted extra eggplant and went back to the counter to add it. I specifically told the employee that I was happy to pay the additional charge. Despite having just placed and paid for my order moments earlier, I was told they could not add extra eggplant because the kitchen was closing. The biggest issue came when I received my food. I specifically ordered spicy eggplant with ground chicken, but the dish was made with sliced chicken instead. When I brought it back, one employee initially insisted that this was how the dish came. Another employee then acknowledged that I had, in fact, ordered ground chicken. After speaking among themselves, they returned and asked if I would simply keep the incorrect order because they could not remake it. When I declined, they agreed to issue a refund. However, during the refund process, I was shocked when an employee asked for the condiments back because I was no longer taking the food. We are talking about a small container of sauce and a few jalapeño slices. In all my years of dining out, I have never had a restaurant ask for complimentary condiments back after making a mistake on an order. What was most disappointing was the complete lack of customer service. There was no apology for the unanswered phone calls, the incorrect order, or the inconvenience. Instead, I was met with attitude and indifference throughout the interaction. To make matters worse, employees were already mopping the floors while numerous customers were still dining inside. I personally almost slipped on the wet floor. The staff clearly saw customers walking through the area, yet the floors were being mopped before customers had even finished their meals, creating an unnecessary safety hazard. I also witnessed several customers being turned away despite arriving before the posted closing time, while there were still many customers seated and eating inside the restaurant. It appeared that staff were more focused on closing and leaving than serving customers during their posted business hours. Finally, when I asked for a copy of my refund receipt after accidentally handing mine back, I was told they could not print another one. Instead, an employee handed me the restaurant's copy of the refund receipt and instructed me to take a picture of it with my phone. Mistakes happen in every business. What matters is how they are handled. Unfortunately, this experience was marked by poor communication, lack of professionalism, and a complete absence of customer care. I hope the owner sees this review because they deserve to know how customers are being treated. For anyone looking for excellent Thai food and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend New Krungthai Restaurant. They have been consistently wonderful, their food is excellent, and they have always treated me with kindness and respect. They have earned my business for years to come, and I will gladly continue supporting them. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will be taking my business there instead. Good food is important, but customer service and professionalism matter just as much.

The Spicy Eggplant & Pad Kee Mao were great as well, but similar to other places I've tried. The Yellow Curry still stood out to me the most. We then had the Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. The lady told us that their mangos aren't that ripe right now, but I thought it was still solid. Nothing crazy but still good. Prices here are much cheaper than the average Thai restaurant in the Bay, but the tiny portions reflect the price point. Still plenty enough food for one leftover meal! Place was basically empty the entire time aside from 1 or 2 takeout orders. Makes me sad because I really think they serve up some good Thai food! As far as ambiance goes, it was particularly warm when we dined in which was a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise, it's just a casual restaurant; nothing fancy.
