    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

    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

    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.

    I finally had a chance to try this upscale modern Japanese restaurant. They only serve their brunch…read moremenu on weekdays, so I took advantage during a work holiday. Their dinner is now only prix fixe. My first impression was how elegant and modern the decor was. I made a reservation and was seated right away. Their brunch menu ranged from Japanese interpretations of American classics like chicken & waffle and eggs Benedict, to sushi dishes, to rice dishes, to sandos (sandwiches). We ordered a lot so that we could try a bit of everything. Our food came out quickly, and each plate was beautifully presented. While every dish was very tasty, none of the dishes really blew me away. Our server was efficient but didn't smile once. It's not that big a deal, but a little smile is very welcoming and makes a difference. However, Jose, who was preparing the food, brought a few of our dishes out and each time he gave us a huge smile. What we ordered: + Short rib rice teishoku set - Elegantly presented, this was our favorite. The short rib literally melts in your mouth. The soup had a deep fried tofu pocket floating on top. The salad was above average, and even the rice seemed special. + Chicken croffle toast - this was very good and much bigger than I expected. There was probably about 4-5 tender chicken thighs in a crunchy coating. It had the same flavor as karage. The croffle (croisant waffle) was ok, but not as good as waffle imo. + Chutoro (medium fat) tuna nigiri - a perfect bite. When I looked under the tuna, I only saw about a 1/2 a pinky size of rice, but that turned out to be the perfect ratio. + Mochi waffle - you get your choice of matcha or ube flavor. I chose matcha. This was very good, but didn't get a whole lot of matcha flavor. + Macaroni salad - the weakest dish. It just tasted like your typical macaroni salad. Overall, it's about 4.5 stars. The food, while very good, didn't blow me away as I would expect from an upscale place. However, the entire experience, atmosphere, and quick service bumped it up to 5 stars.

I saw that they're staff is composed of culinary school grads (nice). Their truck was pretty nice and their mascots are pretty dope. There's a lot on the menu, and I ended up ordering 2 garlic naan and 4 tacos- 1 carne asada, 2 spicy pork, and 1 chicken tikka masala. The tacos were good, but I felt there was a little something missing from this evening's order. The naan were alright too (they came with a side of chutney). I'd be open to trying more of their offerings though- I heard the samosas were good, and I'm always down for a good spicy pork burrito. Random thought- what if you made a naan/spicy pork combo. That'd be wild. I think if you're at a food truck festival, you need to consider dining at a fusion place to open up your mind and your tastebuds.

I tried the chicken tikka masala burrito with a samosa. I wish I knew that there was going to be a tomato/cilantro mix in it as I didn't enjoy that. The chicken also didn't have a whole lot of flavor. I then decided to try the Korean spicy pork burrito and asked what was in it this time as I saw the bowls had white sauce on it. Turned out to be sour cream. I also asked for no cucumbers which meant it was pork, brown rice, and kimchi. The pork had a kick to it, but wasn't the bulgogi type of meat. I think it would've been better with white rice rather than brown rice though. The kimchi was a nice addition, but again, it was just okay. The samosas were the best part of the meal.
