    Thai boat noodle
    Jenny Y.

    They have a pretty big menu. It took a good amount of time to decide on what to order. I contemplated between the Thai boat noodle & khao soi. You can choose the type of noodle for most of the noodle soups except khao soi. Decided to go with the Thai boat noodle, it was okay. I think I just prefer other types of noodle soups more, but still worth the try. Both dishes had good portion with the noodles & meats. I wish they offered the wide rice noodles! The garlic bread was good. You'll see garlic bits on it and it has such a nice crunch. Crab fried rice was decent, definitely taste the pepper. Good customer service. I was brought to a table & let the worker know it was my first visit. She shared some recommendations & provided some helpful input. I dined in around 12pm, so it kept busy with people coming & going. Pretty flower wall decor at the back of the restaurant, brighter lighting in that area too. Easy parking at the plaza.

    Lots of flavor. Everything tasted great. Garlic bread was just garlic bread but pretty good. Fried eggplant has nice texture but cocktail sauce on it was odd. Attentive service. Fair price. Modern and clean dining area.

    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.

    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.

    Vegan Thai Crispy Eggplant Strips
    Serina N.

    The interior is such a vibe! The decor is super cute, and the servers are very kind. Parking can be a nightmare in this very busy plaza, but if you get there early, it's not a problem. I met up with my non-vegan best friend, and we both loved our meals. We shared two vegan appetizers and each got our own entree. I appreciate that they have a separate vegan menu with lots of options to choose from. Here's what we ordered: Mango Mojito, Vegan Thai Tea, Roti Curry, Vegan Crispy Eggplant Strips, Vegan Shrimp Laksa Noodle Soup, and Premium BBQ Combo. The presentation of our dishes was on point, and the portions were generous. Everything I tried was super flavorful and delicious. The curry sauce for the roti was incredible, and the breading on the crispy eggplant was really flavorful and tasty, though I was a bit surprised by the ketchup on top. Next time, I'd ask for the ketchup on the side. The laksa noodle soup broth had an amazing depth of flavor. I didn't try the mango mojito or BBQ combo, but my friend said she absolutely loved them! Highly recommend checking this place out; we're definitely going back to try more things!

    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

    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.

    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!

    Again I ordered #35, beef stew, and #3. Sandwich (chicken)…read more Still the best beef stew in Newark, CA. Fast service and friendly staff. Only $35 for this order during lunch.

    The Sour Bì Was the Last Straw…read more I've had both good and bad experiences with Pho Newark Com Tam Thanh over time, and for a while I considered it a decent, average place to grab Vietnamese food in the area. I also tend to give restaurants multiple chances before leaving a negative review because I understand that every place can have an off day. Unfortunately, I've now seen enough of a pattern that I'm done. Today I ordered the Combination Cơm Tấm and was utterly disappointed by the drop in quality. The bì (shredded pork skin) smelled sour and was completely mushy, despite the meal having just been purchased. It genuinely seemed spoiled, and I couldn't bring myself to eat it. The pork chop was bland and overly fatty, the fish sauce was nothing special, and the bánh mì was extremely disappointing as well. This wasn't an isolated issue either. On another visit, I found a hair in my food. And on some evenings, a staff member would clean the floors with such a strong bleach-smelling cleaner while customers were still eating that the chemical smell completely took over the dining area. Trying to enjoy a meal while your nose is full of cleanser is not exactly appetizing. I don't write a bad review because of one mediocre dish. I give places multiple tries because I want to be fair. But when the unpleasant experiences keep repeating, eventually it stops feeling like bad luck and starts looking like a quality-control problem. The sour-smelling, mushy bì today was the final straw. I can forgive average food. I'm not gambling with spoiled pork skin. Nope, nope. I'm done.

    Pretty good veggie pho. I think the spring rolls were my favorite though…read more Great service in a clean, comfortable space. The location is convenient and it was easy to find parking. I mean, what more could I ask for after a long day?

    TWO PHOS AND TWO RICE PLATES…read more The first time I came here was about a couple of months ago for Sunday dinner with my family. I'm not a fan of pho so I decided to order a rice plate, which was Combo Plate #2 that included one grilled pork and two fried chicken wings. The rice plate I ordered was ok. Even though the chicken wings were cooked inside the meat tasted bland. I wasn't planning to come back here anytime soon. On the menu however I saw a pho item that consisted of chicken quarters. The next time I came here was a couple of days later for lunch. I ordered the pho with chicken quarters. With the addition of the ginger scallion sauce the dish is basically Hainan chicken pho. I've had this type of pho at another eatery and is the best chicken soup I've ever had. Since the chicken isn't shredded, the meat isn't dry. Usually for Hainan chicken I would dip the chicken in the ginger scallion sauce. I did something different for the first time. I added the scallion ginger sauce in the broth. This brought more flavor to the broth. I'd rather have scallion ginger sauce in the broth than sriracha. I'm not a fan of pho. Having the chicken quarters pho provided me a different perspective on pho. When I started having pho I would order get rare steak and beef tendon. What I noticed is that the rare steak changes the texture of the broth, which becomes murky. Maybe that's why I never craved for pho. I find well done beef atrocious. After having the chicken quarters pho I thought why not try the well done brisket. About week later I ordered the well done brisket pho for lunch. From the outset I noticed the broth from the well-done pho is clearer than any beef pho before. How did the broth taste? The broth was the best tasting pho with beef ingredients. I think that has to do with not having raw slices of beef. The blood from the raw beef makes the broth murky. Since the brisket was well-done there was no blood that made the broth cloudy. Also the flavor of the broth enhanced due to the fat from the brisket. The well-done brisket give me a different perspective on pho. Maybe in the future I just order well-done brisket for pho. My last visit I had another rice plate. As I already ordered the chicken leg quarters pho I wanted to try the rice plate version. This dish is Pho Nation's version of Hainan chicken. Even though the scallion ginger was served this dish is different from Hainan chicken as chicken at Pho Nation is steamed and served hot. I ate two phos and two rice dishes. Normally at pho eateries I tend to like the rice dishes more, but at Pho Nation I enjoyed the phos more. If I want to eat pho with a clear yet tasty broth I would come to Pho Nation for either the chicken quarters or well-done brisket pho.
