Located in a non-descriptive strip mall, this place serves decent Thai favorites. We tried its soft shell crab salad and it was tasty and fresh. We also tried both the green beef curry and the red chicken curry in mild. Both the beef and chicken were tender and fresh. We also had deep fried calamari. It was okay, but was not as good as other dishes that we’d ordered. We finished the lunch with its mango sticky rice. This dessert dish overall was satisfying, though it’s rice was bit hard at the ends. The service was quick and friendly.

This is my second time here. So far have tried curries, and today was the yellow pumpkin curry. Its so delicious and flavorful! Cooked just right and the soft tofu grabs on to the flavor so well.

Basil and Co. consistently offers their best! Started with Chicken Satay, with a generous helping of peanut sauce. The medium spicy, Sweet Chili Pork slowly built up heat and it was very flavorful. The Garlic Pepper Chicken was likewise tasty. And topped it all off with the always-delicious Mango Sticky Rice. This place is popular: there was a 15-20 minute wait when we left. Thank you for an amazing experience, as always!

The best Thai restaurant in the area!! The servers were super nice and sweet!! You will need to make a reservation before hand or come in the put yourself on the waiting list. I came two times in a week, Wednesday lunch and Friday dinner ….. all packed! BUT worth the wait!! Their crispy pork belly is really crispy and yummy!! Papaya salad is good too. I don’t like their Thai milk tea cause is way tooooo sweet other than that i think it’s a good choice if you are craving for Thai food!!

Love this Thai restaurant, everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. The restaurant atmosphere is relaxed and the place is tastefully decorated and clean. There was a large group of people waiting to be seated but my husband and I was pleasantly surprised that we were seated after a 10 minutes wait. We ordered the Beef Green Curry, Eggplant with crispy Tofu, Fried Trout with Mango Salad( my husband’s favorite). My favorite was the Crispy Pork appetizer that came with the sour salty green sauce and sweet cucumber salad.It’s perfect when you eat it with the Papaya salad. For dessert , we had the Sticky Rice with Mango. Other than the delicious food, what impressed us the most is how efficient and friendly the workers are. Special mention to Denny ( I hope I got his name right) 19 y/o college student from Indonesia, he was so accommodating and friendly.

Stunning Thai restaurant in Diamond Bar. The atmosphere was excellent, and the food was even better. The spicy drunken noodles were some of the best we ever had. It’s a bit difficult to come across Thai food in Los Angeles that isn’t mediocre, and this place didn’t disappoint! Wait times are a bit long—we waited around 35 minutes for lunch on a Sunday. Nevertheless, the experience was worth the wait!

LAST CALL 8:30. They do not mess around with the closing time and last call. We got there a few minutes to 8:30. Had to quickly order. Sat down and was out of there in 40min. $200 bill plus tips. While the food tastes decent, I don’t know if it’s a place I would go at the last minute. So unfortunate.
