Please. Fix the egg rolls. AWFULL. Rest of food vastly superior to every other place. I'm former yang Ming customer

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. Customer service is awful, the owner does not know how to speak with to people. If you'd like to be insulted criticized , this is the place for you. Spend your money elsewhere where the food better and people treat you like a human. read more

It's a local Chinese place, it's aight. This place does some things better than others. But to me, often times their items lack a little flavor. I will say their egg rolls and fried rice are on point. Nothing is more disappointing than a Chinese place trying to be bougie and make their fried rice brown. Just give me the yellow rice please! Little basil does yellow rice and they do it very well. It is my favorite thing on their menu, which isn't saying much. Their noodles are hella disappointing, as is their hunan and garlic sauces. Just pretty void of flavor and a bit watery. My husband says their beef and chicken on a stick is the best ever. I accidentally ordered it from the wrong place once and his disappointment was evident. So for fried things that are hard to mess up and meat sticks, look no further. read more

I ordered from Little Basil solely because they sell Chinese donuts and I haven't had those bad boys in YEARS. I am thrilled to report that they were incredible - absolutely everything I remembered. They really satisfied my craving. I also tried the egg roll, steamed pork dumplings, chicken chow fun, and crispy orange chicken. The orange chicken was pretty decent, though I would have thought choosing the maximum spice level would have made for a spicier meal. Even at full-heat, it wasn't really spicy. The chow fun was how I expected and tasted just fine with the addition of sriracha. Overall this isn't a bad Chinese food place, but I'm giving them 4 stars for selling incredible donuts. read more

I found this place while searching around on the Beyond Menu app for other Delco Chinese delivery options. I'm not too thrilled with the local choices. This one came up as an option. I'm so happy it did. I officially love the Apple Chicken. It's a unique flavor, and one that you don't see often. It's a sign that they're trying to be better than the norm. The staples that we love are all higher quality. From dumplings to egg rolls to wonton soup, I loved them all. The wife thought her chicken and broccoli was better than most in the area. This place is worthy. read more

Little Basil - Apple chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Morton, Pennsylvania

Little Basil is my go to for Chinese food . It took me awhile to find something that I actually liked. Moving from the city out to Delco . I had a hard time finding someone food that was consistent. I recently placed an order and needed something on the menu to be cooked a little different. Not a problem they took care of me . And it was greatly appreciated. read more

Meh, gave them a few shots over the years, not impressed. DON'T ORDER THAI FOOD FROM HERE, THIS IS NOT A THAI RESTAURANT! The "thai" food they offer are horrid. Everything else is standard takeout Chinese food. Garlic wings are the only thing that stands out among everything else. read more

Food is always great have ordered half a dozen times now, portions are always big no complaints at all

Spring rolls were hollow and greasy. Thai basil beef: meat was something weird and processed. Strange texture. General Tso was passable.

I recently moved out to the Springfield area . And have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant. Little Basil has delivered it's my go to place now . read more

We just had an awesome meal leftovers here! The lo mein noodles and spicy beef were incredible. Highly recommend!

I have been ordering delivery from here for several years and highly recommend them. My favorite entrees from Little Basil are Chicken Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, Beef Chow Fun, and Shrimp with Mixed Vegetables. Their Pork Egg Rolls and Shrimp Rolls are delicious, as is their Wonton Soup. Everything I've had from there is good and is delivered quickly and piping hot! read more

I am very particular...and this is my go to place for Chinese/Thai take out. Super friendly staff and great food. I usually get the Thai Basel shrimp but we've tried other things on the menu and you really can't go wrong here. read more

Shrimp egg rolls zero shrimp. Quart of shrimp fried rice has 4&1/2 minature shrimp. Chickn lo mein very little chicken.

I had the Mongolian beef combination platter, an order of pan fried dumplings and barbecued beef strips on a stick. Overall I give the entire meal a 4 out of 10. Rice is expected to be moist and a bit sticky but was in fact dry. The Mongolian beef was very salty. I placed my water around 10 PM so I guess some of it might have been sitting around a bit. Maybe if I ordered earlier things would taste fresher. The dumplings were so so. The service was nice. read more

The absolute best take out restaurant in the delco area. Seriously, I've haven't had better Chinese takeout than this. The food always tastes fresh and the owners are super nice. When I was picking up food for myself, I noticed the owner running out to give a previous customer a can of soda. They go above and beyond to get your order right. read more

Great takeout with friendly staff. Have ordered several times now and food has been excellent each time. Try the dumplings! General Tso's is also really good. read more

Awesome food and delivery service. Best egg rolls and dumplings that are overstuffed. My favorite Asian place

I've lived in this area for over thirty years and this is the first time I have tried Little Basil. At last, I have found take out Chinese that is worth bragging about. Tonight I ordered General Tso and Shrimp pad Thai (bonus that they also offer Thai!). They were both excellent. I would choose here over Lucky Wok (no flavor) any day. The prices are comparable and the seasonings and flavors are right on. I am a harsh critic for Asian cuisine. This is definitely my new favorite place. Thanks for a delicious dinner!! read more

Little Basil - General Tso - Asian Fusion Near Me - Morton, Pennsylvania

Little Basil is the PREMIER location for Chinese food near Swarthmore. They beat out all the other competition (Cheng Hing, Happy Wok, etc.) without question. While they are marginally more pricey ($1.25 delivery fee, dishes are $0.50-$1.00 more)... Let me just say, dinner box. $7.25 for a popular entree, white/fried rice, wonton soup/eggroll/soda. This is a ridiculous business model but while it lasts TAKE ADVANTAGE! The portions are generous, the food is fresh, the veggies are fresh (this is incredibly rare for a takeout place), and the delivery is PUNCTUAL (they average 20min for Swarthmore, even though they're in Morton, and they're open until 11:30pm on weekends). The delivery guys have been awesome, especially Peter who speaks Korean and is an amazing chef. General Tso's, chicken with broccoli, honolulu chicken, all amazing choices (they also offer Thai options like Pad Thai). I order from this place out of loyalty and respect for their high standards. Couldn't go back to anything else. Exactly what I'm craving now. read more

RIP OFF ON COUPON: Every time I order food i use a coupon that this restaurant has, spend 20.00 and you get something free, well today i ordered it was 19.58 and I said add a 2 Liter bottle of diet Coke or Pepsi so I can use the coupon, well the lady said btw she is also the owner, said soda doesn't count anymore pick something else, I said since when it always counted in the past plus it doesn't say that anywhere on the menu. She said well it's new. I said how about if I just cancel the order, she said okay so she lost a customer over $.42, Unbelievable than an owner would lose a customer over something like that that's horrible customer service since she couldn't figure it out I wasn't going to tell her. BE WARNED that The owner is pulling tricks just to get you to buy more food to use the coupon! The food is very good it's the way they treat a loyal customer over something so stupid and there's no trying to explain anything to the owner because she things she is never wrong! read more

We order from little basil all the time! They have tons of veggie options and they are all super yummy. We do delivery often (even though they are very close to our house-don't judge!) and the driver is always polite and on time. When we aren't being terribly lazy and decide to pick up, staff is always very nice and food comes out quick. Definitely my go to for chinese food in the neighborhood! read more

Great experience all around. Have ordered from here about 6-8 times now and have nothing negative to say about their food or service.

This is our second time getting food from here. Their food is great and good quantity too.

Nothing special about Little Basil. They carry the standard line of typical corner store Chinese restaurants and neither the service or preparation of the dishes is worth driving out of the way for. If you're in the neighborhood and looking for a place that is open late and serves a hot meal, they will meet that need. read more

This our go to Chinese food place since moving to Morton. The food is always good and delivery time seems reasonable

Live right around the corner and this is my go to spot... Lots of other Chinese restaurants around but this is very reliable and good food!

I know that I've been spoiled by South Philly and Chinatown when it comes to Asian food, but I can still appreciate cheap take-out. That said, this place is weak sauce. My leftover pork fried rice has been sitting in the fridge for two days, which is unheard of for me. I've gotten the pad thai, the shrimp dumplings, the pork fried rice, and the wonton soup, and each item has lacked any flavor beyond saltiness. The wontons are soggy, the broth is flavorless. The pad thai was basically greasy noodles, although the shrimp in it were good. Sad. I was really excited when I saw this place had opened, since it's within walking distance from my apartment, but after two visits, I won't be back. read more

Im not one to be picky about food. ive actually never reviewed a restaurant before in my whole life. this needs to be addressed though. so my boyfriend decided to order from little basil instead of viman thai twice in the last 2 weeks because he wanted delivery. first order was ok, he got me pad thai. wasnt viman thai quality but it was alright. this last order though... oh. my. god. he got me some type of chicken with cashews? theres no way that was chicken i was eating. it was so tough and stringy i had to spit out half of what i was eating because i could not separate the food enough with my teeth to swallow it. once i actually choked on it for a second. i even contemplated taking a picture of what i spit out cause... it cant be chicken... over half my order is now in the trash can. i ended up just eating the dry white rice it came with. i dont know if that can happen to chicken from frying it too long or what, but this place should really try harder at not almost killing its customers. never eating from this place again. read more

I eat at Little Basil frequently! I live in the area and am so happy to have found this gem. I do not eat meat and I typically get there vegetable and tofu focused dishes. The veggies are always very fresh! The staff is very friendly as well. I have tried several other Chinese restaurants in the area (like when Little Basil is closed) and I always come back. They can't compete!!! I can't say enough good stuff about this place. If they ever close, I'm going to have a break down read more

First time trying this place. The food was excellent. It was so fresh. The dumplings were the best I have had because the dough was nice and thin. The sweet and sour chicken breading was fresh and crispy, not soggy! And they have the donuts! read more

Little Basil is a little gem! If you're looking for a take out Asian place this is a winner!!! Not only do they have the traditional Chinese takeout, but they also have Thai options, curry options and platters. Their box options are more then enough to share between two people. The staff is friendly and the store front is clean. Great prices and great options. I will Def be returning for Friday take out and Netflix nights. read more

Always my go to spot. They are very quick with delivery and super reasonable with prices. I always try something new and it always impresses! read more

Honest to God, I vomited 30 minutes after eating here. I rarely give one star, but after eating a small portion of the chicken pad thai I had to call and ask why the noodles and chicken were so pink. She told me it wad the "ketchup"! Go Elsewhere. .. read more

I am a professional chef of well over 20 years and I just tried takeout from Little Basil for the first time. I am 100% pleased with their food! Mongolian Beef was full of rich spicy flavor and a colorful assortment of veggies. Beef was tender and cooked nicely. Pad Thai wasn't completely traditional but we loved it anyway. We also had pan fried dumplings that were better than what you'd get from any other Delco Asian takeout. Prices were good food was excellent, just don't plan on eating in. It's basically takeout only. I want these people to do well, their food's awesome! And to the previous reviewer: I eat in South Philly and Chinatown noodle houses too, but they ain't in Morton, 5 minutes from my house. This food is 10 times better than your average Delco Asian takeout spot!! I joined Yelp just to review Little Basil!! read more

Little Basil is close to where I live, and it's very convenient when I have a hankering for Chinese Take-Out. The menu is inexpensive, and most of the food is great. We love the lettuce wraps, steamed pork dumplings, and wonton soup for starters. Last time we ordered i had the Chicken Lo Mein, which was passable, but not the best I've had, but my boyfriend got the Pineapple Pork and it was absolutely delicious. They have a deal that when you spend $10, you get 2 free egg rolls, so we always do that as well. The egg rolls are decent (for free they're damn good). I would recommend Little Basil to others who are in the mood for good Chinese take-out. read more

I guess my hopes were too high because of all of the great reviews, but, the shrimp pad Thai was extremely lacking in flavor. I had to recook + jazz it up myself. Hopefully it was just an off day... read more

Love this little Chinese restaurant--the owners are extremely pleasant and are willing to create off menu dishes if they have the ingredients. Price is average for Chinese take out and the food is similar to what was offered by the previous Chinese restaurant in the same place. I'll admit I got dry rice a couple of times, though. Still a regular because I enjoy the sauces. read more

Food normally decent, nothing special though. Tonight was exceptionally bad. Got boneless spare ribs and general tsos chicken. Ribs were like eating rocks and GT was soft and a little weird tasting. Called the store and response was sorry to hear that. I said i won't be back again and she said ok. Delco needs some good chinese food. Please help! read more

We've ordered a bunch of different things from here and have never been disappointed! Great food and good prices. Service is always friendly & delivery always quick! read more
