Spicy Basil

We ordered from Spicy Basil through Uber Eats, so I can't speak to the dining in experience, but my girlfriend and I really enjoyed the massive portions and the great flavors of our food. We got the tropical fried rice with chicken and shrimp, the spicy basil chicken, steamed broccoli, and gyoza. After a long day of driving in the snow, this was the perfect dinner for us. Would definitely order from here again.

I ordered the sesame chicken plate from Spicy Basil, and I am beyond disappointed. The chicken was somehow both overcooked and soggy at the same time—so soggy it was falling apart. The texture was disgusting, and it was drowning in an excessive amount of sauce. On top of that, the portion of vegetables was pathetic. My order came with only four pieces of broccoli, while the photo they use to advertise the dish shows a generous amount. I’ve attached pictures of what I received versus what they advertise, and the difference is laughable. (I separated the chicken into another bowl to show the lack of veggies.) This was a complete waste of money, and I won’t be ordering from here again.

I was craving Chinese food, good Chinese food and this place was awesome! The service was lovely (thank you Yuan), the sweet and sour chicken was some of the best I've ever had and the veggies with it were fresh and well prepared, the Vietnamese coffee was not rushed and it was oh so good. I'd definitely come back and try more dishes. The price point is impossibly incredible too. What a lunch! Thank you!!!

Sadly the absolute worst Chinese take out I’ve ever ordered. Super bland and overpriced. I’m pretty forgiving with Chinese take out places but EVERYTHING was terrible so this will be our first and last time trying Spicy Basil. Mango chicken: bland mix of soft wet chicken, mushrooms, giant chunks of green pepper, and pieces of mango. Cream cheese wontons (aka crab Rangoon): somehow also bland, soft and chewy while still being hard on the edges. Weird. Chicken coconut soup (aka Tom kha): very bland like half the ingredients were missing, no hint of galangal, fish sauce, lemongrass, or lime, but some weird added spice that doesn’t belong, maybe cinnamon? Disgusting. Fried rice: seemed like they ran out of fried rice and just added a few peas and an egg to some white rice. Egg rolls: overcooked, borderline burnt, and weird flavor. Spicy edamame: the garlic/spice is good but it was dry almost like it was reheated or just a bag of frozen edamame microwaved then tossed in spices. At least it wasn’t bland like everything else.

Friends and I were in the mood for Chinese food so we came here and it's very delicious! The portion size is huge and able to split it into 2-3 days. I got the shrimp and fried rice. I loved it, but I wish there were some more shrimp since protein is important to have. I'll be back for sure, I just wish there were nurtition information available.
