    Pad thai with pork
    Jeremy S.

    I went here with friends, and we waited almost half an hour for a table. They're definitely a popular restaurant busy during dinner on weekends. You can expect a bustling and vibrant ambience during this time. We got several dishes: drunken noodles, pad see ew, house fried rice, and yellow pumpkin curry. Each dish came with our choice of protein; the options without an extra cost were chicken, pork, tofu, and vegetables. Our server was friendly, and the other staff made sure we had our waters refilled. Along with great service, I enjoyed the food again. The drunken noodles were flavorful and not too spicy. Mixing the house fried rice with the yellow pumpkin curry was really delicious. You get a great blend of savory and sweet flavors. Portions are large, so we took leftovers home.

    Pad See Ew
    Steven N.

    I've been to my fair share of Thai spots and this one is definitely one of the better ones. I had the Pad See Ew and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors of the noodle and sauce meshed well either the beef and veggies. Would definitely come back!

    Crying tiger
    Amy L.

    Love the crying tiger, mango sticky rice, and curry. Everything else was good but those were my favorite. The chicken wings was crispy and juicy. But the tom yum sauce just tasted like mama instant noodle tom yum packet. Which i dont hate. The crying tiger takes 20 minutes to make but they give alot so i think its worth. Their curry is also very flavorful. Quite a bit of a drive and if its busy there might not be parking.

    Pad Thai
    Marian X.

    First time visiting here after hearing many great things about this place. Pad Thai: One of our favorite dishes. The noodle is chewy and the flavor is great (not too sweet and salty). Highly recommend this. Chicken Satay: This is our other favorite dishes. The chicken is tender and well seasoned. This is a great alternative for their popular crying tiger in terms of the portion and pricing. Papaya Salad: I was a bit disappointed with this. The papaya salad is lack of flavoring (specifically the garlic taste). It's not very marinated. Tom Yum Soup: We got a small bowl of the seafood tom yum soup. The portion is great for 2 people, but don't expect too much seafood from it. The flavor is good, so it's still a great soup option. Non-Sweet Sticky Rice: Unlike other places, their sticky rice is served as a dessert, you can still taste the coconut flavor. Most other traditional Thai places serve sticky rice as unsweetened and plain (i.e., jasmine rice soaked overnight). Not really mad about this. The service was absolutely amazing. We made a reservation ahead of time to avoid waiting in line. I'm glad we did because there were already people waiting when we arrived at 6pm. The restaurant is very clean and cozy. Overall, Basil & co. is a great Thai restaurant option in town, but I wouldn't say it is the BEST Thai restaurant I ever had.

    Red Duck Curry
    Elise L.

    Cute and modern boho interior Thai restaurant off the 60 fwy in Diamond Bar. So popular and delicious, there's always a wait whenever I come here. Service is really kind. * pineapple fried rice w veggies (5/5) * house fried rice (5/5) * pad see ew (5/5) * duck curry (4/5) - duck leg is so tender but lowkey could not taste it. Curry is bomb * mango sticky rice (4/5) - personal pref but I like it chilled

    Me and my bf love basil & co!!! It hits everytime. The staff is always checking up on us and seeing if we need anything. The chicken satay is SO GOOD. We devoured it. Everything is super flavorful. Mango sticky rice is a must if it's in season. Can't wait to try more dishes on our next visit!

    Let's just start with WE WILL BE BACK! The establishment is inside a very busy plaza. There are many options to dining around this little spot. However, I am very happy that we chose this one. The restaurant itself is extremely clean and is very modern. The way they have it setup makes it feel very spacious and you're not on top of everybody. The staff is extremely friendly, and you can tell that they are constantly busy. We regretted pretty much immediately. We were meeting up with some friends so we had about six people all together. They seated us in the corner which was perfect! We were able to have conversations and didn't have to speak any louder than our normal voices. The food was very good overall and they always came to check on us. Many of us ordered hot teas or hot water, which we were very happy that they would come and rewarm them. We ordered several dishes and truly enjoyed them overall. Wonton soup: 4. Broth was light and there were a good amount of wontons. Shrimp and veggies were yummy. Just wished that it came out hot. It was a tad cool. Spicy catfish was yummy, but seemed to be very westernized. It seemed that it was more like batter fish tossed in sauce and veggies. At most restaurants, the fish is more of a deep fry technique with a little bit more flavor. The pad see ewe beef (4) had the perfect texture. It was very well seasoned with a good amount of beef slices and veggies. It is a little bit more on the sweeter side than what we are used to but still very good. Chicken wings (3) We will probably not order this one. It was basically plain fried chicken wings with sauce on the side. It was okay and the flavor wasn't anything that stood out. All the other dishes were very tasty and we would say a 4 rating. It would probably would have been better if those dishes came out a little bit more warmer. Like we said, the food had a good flavor but just didn't have that wow factor or had enough to make it stand out from other Thai restaurants. The overall experience was very good. The service, the food coming atmosphere will definitely be the reason why we would come back!

    House Fried Rice
    Leo C.

    This place is honestly so good! They've been at a few events that I've attended in past. Location is conveniently close to family, who live nearby so when we are in the area we frequently dine here. The restaurant has nice modern vibe and is inviting, service is quick and attentive. They even serve wine and beer to pair with your meal. Place is always bustling, but we usually don't have to wait long to get seated. All the dishes are fabulous and shareable. We absolutely enjoyed their papaya salad. Unlike Filipino pickled version, there's more like a salad. Dressing is perfectly balance and not too tart. I highly recommend it! Crispy Pork Belly is a great appetizer. It pairs well with the seafood sauce and cucumber salad that comes with it. Chicken satay is also tasty, really like the peanut sauce. The pad thai noodle with chicken is solid as well as Pad Wood Sen (glass noodles). I love the wide noodles they use on Pad See Ew, it helps absorb a lot of savory flavors from garlic and soy sauce. Salmon Panang is delightful and comforting; rich, creamy, slightly spicy and packed with flavor. It's served with a side of white rice. Also, Red Curry Beef is terrific, curry flavor is on point and perfect. Their special Garden Trout is very good. It's basically fried fish topped with mango herb salad which everyone loves. I thought spicy catfish was ok, bit spicy for my palette. The house fried rice and stir fried seasonal vegetables are good accompaniment to your meal. Mango Sticky Rice is so divine and perfect way to cap off your meal. Mangos are always ripe and sweet, even better with ice cream. Don't skip on this! We are always guilty of ordering a little too much but enjoy eating them next day. We can't wait to come back.

    Prawns + Thai shumai,   yum
    Pat C.

    I agree with majority of the reviews, that the experience exceeded expectations- the highlights were the fried prawns w a herbaceous dipping sauce that was excellent, and a neat, fusion item called Thai shumai, which were delicious. Service was friendly, digital transactions only, cash free establishment. 4 stars

    Green Curry
    Kaia H.

    My local Thai restaurant of choice! Love their pad see ew but this time I had the green curry and it was also yummy. I would put myself on the waitlist when you're close and expect a bit of a wait because I went at 8pm on a Sunday and we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. Servers were super nice and because we came in kinda late, the kitchen was closing soon so they took our order ahead of time. The place itself is nice and family vibes for sure. I'll be back!

    Tom Kha (Coconut) Soup
    Vince N.

    Basil & Co is a modern restaurant boasting traditional thai flavors. It is located by the freeway in Diamond Bar and tucked away in the corner of a plaza. The food here is good, nothing too remarkable but it gives you that warm, hearty feeling you want from traditional cultural cuisine. The tom kha (coconut) soup with shrimp was the highlight of my visit. Absolutely delicious and comes out hot and ready to eat. I can say that the spicy fried rice with chicken was enhanced greatly by the addition of juice from the lime that they provided, but was a bit lacking in flavor at first. Those first two dishes along with the stellar service and beautiful interior warrant 4 or 5 stars easily. However, the pad thai was not my favorite bite of food ever. It came a bit overcooked, the noodles being mushy and soft instead of chewy like I expected. The flavors and taste were solid, with the pad thai being a bit too sweet for my liking, even with the lime. But I did not enjoy the feeling of the noodles in my mouth. Overall, I think this place has lots to ride home about. A beautiful interior design, modernized dining areas, with big glass windows that let in a lot of natural light. The soup here is phenomenal, and the fried rice is good. I think if I came here again and ordered different dishes I would end up giving it 4 or even 5 stars, but that day was not today. Recommend you try it out. 7/10.

    Rj B.

    The food was amazing here every single plate the noodles, the rice, the mango sticky rice, the wontons, the beer!!! We had multiple servers all of them were sweethearts so nice and friendly and attentive will be coming back

    My husband and I were craving Thai food a few days ago, so we went to Basil & Co. in Diamond Bar. I had previously tried their sister restaurant, Ari's Thai Eatery in Azusa, and was satisfied with it. We arrived around 11:00 a.m. and noticed that several tables were already occupied, even though they had just opened at 11 a.m. The place was welcoming with modern decor, and the seats were comfortable. We ordered Red Curry with rice (mild) chicken ($17.99), and Shrimp Pad Thai ($20.99) for both of us. The presentation of both dishes was great, but the Red Curry with chicken was the true standout. Boasting a perfect balance of heat and creaminess, the curry was remarkably savory. The restaurant offers customizable spice levels, allowing you to increase the heat if you prefer a spicier dish. I'm glad I opted for the mild spice level, as it still delivered a satisfying and noticeable kick. The Shrimp Pad Thai was also impressive, featuring a well-executed balance of savory and sweet flavors. The service was great, and it's definitely a great Thai food spot in Diamond Bar, and it deserves 5 stars. One minor issue: the entrance door was stiff. We saw some customers had to pull it several times, leading us to believe the restaurant was not open yet.

My wife wants to bring the spice down, but i want the smoke I want that extra spicy level again lol

    Has this place gone through new ownership?…read more I used to frequent Tantawan Thai Cuisine at least once a week -- it was my go to Thai spots because it's nearby. I would always order the Thai boat noodles, Pad Kee Mao, or Pad Thai, and they were consistently flavorful, bold, and satisfying every time. These three dishes were on constant rotation. Lately though, something feels very different. The flavor and overall taste of the dishes have noticeably changed. The Thai boat noodles no longer have that rich, deep broth, the pad kee mao isn't as smoky and punchy, and the pad thai tastes flatter and not as saucey than it used to. The food just doesn't hit the same. On top of that, the employees were clearly new. Service has been noticeably slower, and they repeatedly ask the same questions multiple times when I phone in my order. I've always mentioned that I don't want liver in my Thai boat noodles and that I like my pad thai spicy -- and before, that was never an issue or a back and forth conversation. Now, I'm asked the same clarifying questions over and over, and I'm even told that they "don't make pad thai spicy," which was never the case before. It's honestly disappointing because this used to be such a reliable weekly staple for me. I'm not sure if there's been a change in ownership, staff, or recipes, but the consistency in both food and service just isn't there anymore. I really hope they can bring back the quality and experience that made me a regular in the first place.

Parking is also easy to find as well. It was such a happier experience coming here vs going to Kim Ky. I used to drive down to the 626 to Kim Ky get my TeoChew noodles fix but not anymore after coming to NoodleMii. It's only a few mins from my house and now my favorite spot if i'm craving for home style noodle soup. House Bowl #1 is my favorite!! I love how the soup comes very hot, plenty of soup, noodles, and a lot of fresh toppings. The best part is that it's only $12.25 for a HUGE bowl!!! Next time I'm coming by for the dry noodles!! My server was super nice and brought everything I needed with a smile and even special accommodation for my son without me asking! It was just so freshing and such a pleasant experience! it's been a long time since I had such a perfect experience!!!! I will always remember the moment and am already looking forward to coming back again soon.

We stumbled upon NoodleMii on Yelp and it looked very similar to Kim Ky. I grew up eating these type of teow chew noodles so it's an all time fave! We both ordered 1 house special with soup and 1 dry house special. I like to mix and match my noodles so I got the wide rice noodles and the thicker yellow noodles. You can ask for both for no upcharge! The fish ball was SO soft and chewy. It tasted really fresh. They also give a lot of noodles. We both agreed that we preferred the soup variation. The dry noodle lacked flavor even though it was tossed in soy sauce. We couldn't pinpoint what it was missing. The soup was flavorful and tastes pretty close to Kim Ky's version. Price point was also very reasonable. I'd come back if I'm too lazy to drive to 626!

The green is very relaxing visually and it's always really clean and cool inside too. Service is great, food too but that goes without saying. I will say though, after having their boat noodles a couple times, Thaitwist's is probably the best I've had in a very long time. It's incredibly flavorful, though it is a bit lacking in add-ins/components, especially compared to other places I've been to. Besides that, it's still super delicious. However, I can't exactly say the same for their tom yum noodles. It's by far the worst I've had anywhere unfortunately. The soup is mildly tangy and pretty light, but kinda flat in terms of flavor. It's very singular in the taste department and also lacking in add-ins too. I guess if you're feeling under the weather and don't want anything too rich and heavy, this would be a pretty good option. Aside from that, everything else is delicious! After coming here several times, I'm starting to learn what Thaitwist makes really well and what items to skip.

When we went this time, the food and service were mediocre at best. It definitely did not meet the 4.2* (out of 1,914 reviews) given on Yelp. Most of the dishes that we ordered were so sweet and lacking in flavor. The noodles were very sweet. The soup was like drinking sugar water. The only dish that was slightly more decent was the lemon grass grilled pork.

Not only is…read morethis place super cute with the traditional Chinese interior, the food tasted authentic too. We got the pork belly, lamb and chicken skin and to my surprise all 3 were so good it's literally so hard to choose a favorite. I think we had the PERFECT mix of flavors though with these 3 choices. we had a corn cheese (heavenly) too which i liked to wrap around the skewer sometimes. This was enough to feed my female friend and i. I enjoyed it so much i kept recommending it to my family and friends and even bf so i could have it again ASAP

For skewers, we also ordered the squid, beef, and potato skewers which were all very tasty. Not alot of char but the meats were fairly tender. The golden pot was a pretty surprising hit at our table. The gold almost florescent broth has an interesting sour kick, almost like pickled veggies. Soup was a nice contrast to the meaty skewers and came with a variety of hot pot favorites like fish cake, imitation crab, napa cabbage, wood ear mushroom, vermicelli, and thinly sliced meat. Also when they see that you are running low on broth, they will pour some more in. This was especially helpful because they serve this over a fire which can evaporate alot of the soup. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated, and was even packed on a Monday night. Had a great experience and the food felt very familiar!

Their dan dan noodles with rice noodles was savory, with that lovely peanut base sauce. Their Crab & pork xiao lou bao is super delicious. Their skin is thin and the soup inside just fills your mouth. Honestly i think it's better than Din tai fung for that alone. The beef tomato noodle was filled with thick, tender beef chunks, and the diced tomato was actually sauted with savory seasoning. You can see many locals come here to enjoy excellent quality comfort food. From Ordering to being served was a matter of minutes. Great for limited lunch break people! Very clean, simply decorated place.

I ordered a house special pho, egg rolls and Vietnamese hot coffee with condensed milk. I was expecting the pho comes out first as usually that's the case since the soup is ready made, pho noodle doesn't take long to cook. but the egg rolls actually came out first piping hot. I was also pleasantly surprised that I can taste some meat inside the egg rolls. Pho and coffee came about the same time. pho noodle was standard size with enough pho noodle (still too much for my taste). the beef slices do have some pink (raw) color when it was served. soup was flavorful enough. coffee was too sweet for my taste. I even asked for more coffee to dilute the sweetness but didn't help much. total bill was around $26+tips for 1 person.
