    Roti curry
    Emily W.

    No wait for my party of 5 on a Saturday evening. We shared the black pepper garlic noodles, shrimp laksa noodle, roti curry, Singapore chili crab cracker, salty egg yolk fried rice, salt & pepper wings, pineapple fried rice, and garlic bread. Food was served quickly. My favorites were the black pepper garlic noodles, shrimp laksa noodle, roti curry, salty egg yolk fried rice, and garlic bread. These were all flavorful and delicious. I was ok about the Singapore chili crab cracker because I was felt like the chili crab dip was overly salty. The rice crackers were good though. Salt & pepper wings were ok and on the dry side. Pineapple fried rice is usually one of my favorite Thai dishes but it missed the mark for me here - it was quite dry and lacked flavor in my opinion. Overall fun restaurant to eat at and glad I got to try. Ambiance is great, nicely decorated, spacious, and the menu has huge variety so there's something for everyone.

    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.

    Bone marrow with toasted bread
    Jason T.

    I've been to Amazing Basil a few times and surprisingly really like their pho. The broth is a little sweeter than what you'll usually get at other Vietnamese restaurants, but I actually enjoy it. The portions are generous for the price, so I think it's a really good deal overall. This time I tried the laksa and bone marrow. The laksa was flavorful and had a nice richness to it, and the bone marrow was a fun addition to the meal. Everything was pretty satisfying in my opinion. The servers are also kind and helpful, which makes the experience better. The interior is really nice and well decorated, with plenty of good spots to take pictures. Overall, it's a solid place for Vietnamese/Thai/Malaysian style food, especially if you're looking for good portions at a reasonable price. I'd definitely come back for the pho.

    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.

    I've been coming here since I was a little guy and have felt they always have very consistently…read moregood flavors! Everything comes out extremely hot and fresh. The owners are always very kind and remember us and it has a very comfortable atmosphere that makes it very family friendly. One thing I'm a little sad about is that they removed tendon and tripe from the #15 Pho dac biet but it's still just as good. In recent years they added Banh Mi to their menu as well as a buy 3 get one free deal which I always take advantage of. Their Banh Mi are so good, especially the pork and I never fail to get one.

    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.

    We came in on a cool weekday evening, and a hot bowl of pho hit the exact right spot for comfort…read morefood. We have been here before, but last time I got so caught up enjoying the food that I forgot to leave a review, so I made sure to snap some pictures and write about it this time. Since the menu is simple and straightforward, service is quick and efficient. Even though it was not overly busy during our weekday dinner, I can see how it might fill up fast on weekends, but their fast turnaround means you never have to wait long. Here is what we ordered: #1 Chicken Pho (with bone and egg noodles): Definitely the winner for depth of flavor. The bone-in chicken makes the broth taste fantastic, rich, and deeply flavorful. #5 Boneless Chicken Noodles (with egg noodles): A great option if you do not want to deal with bones, though the bone-in version is still slightly more flavorful. On a server's enthusiastic recommendation, who told us, "Good choice, it is my favorite too," we added a fried sunny-side-up egg to the soup. It was a fun addition, though optional. Fresh Accompaniments: Both items came with a generous shared plate of fresh bean sprouts, Thai basil, jalapeños, and limes. Pro tip: throw the basil and bean sprouts in while the soup is piping hot for the best aroma and flavor. Mo Hanh (Green Onion Oil): Both soups also came with a side of Mo Hanh, which is chopped green onion with oil and a pinch of salt. It was amazing to have with the chicken, and I really loved that combination of flavors. Practical Details: Parking: Located in a plaza with ample parking. Being a weekday, we scored a spot right in front. Seating: Plenty of tables inside, though it can get busy during peak hours. Overall, Pho Ga 88 is a fantastic spot for a cozy meal, especially on a chilly day. We will definitely be back!

    Um ... are you guys kidding?…read more 3 stars for me. Pretty much only one choice: free range chicken, which is pretty good, about on par with pho Kim Long (which is Michelin recommended and our long time favorite for pho); soup base pretty much bland, which is the main difference with Kim Long, and literally they don't have onion and other vegetables like typical pho places except bean spouts. Price a bit lower than typical pho places too, chicken a bit less than Kim Long, and dont order their chicken gizzard or whatever soup, like I said, only chicken.
