Spicy Basil - Englewood

We ordered beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, and spicy shrimp fried rice and all of it was absolutely delicious. We will be returning. Thanks!Food: 5/5

Over cooked over salty over sauced. Miniscule broccoli was literally cooked into the sauce where the picture showed large fresh pieces. Sesame tofu once taken out of all the extra sauce was delicious.There was a hair in the egg roll container so did not eat those but they were dark and shrunken from overfrying anyway.

I’ve been eating here for years, always great food. My usual is General Tao’s chicken, which I always order extra spicy. The regular recipe is too sweet, I find that “extra spicy” is what I enjoy the most.However, my last order which was carry out…my General Tso’s was WAY too spicy. I couldn’t eat it, and I enjoy some heat. Don’t know if it’s a new chef, but it wasn’t the same dish I’ve been enjoying for years.I’ll try again, but if I get a repeat of inedible food, I’ll likely start going elsewhere in the future.

Ordered from here yesterday, and this was our experience with the food:Gyoza seemed to be deep fried, as the dough had the texture of funnel cake.The sweet sour chicken was way too overcooked- some pieces were even burnt.The miso soup was decent, but a bit tangy.The eggdrop soup had an alarming sour taste to it.The yaki udon was ok, have had better, but it had the least issues and is the reason this is 2 stars instead of 1.Honestly, I don't think we'll ever order from here again. Every single dish was mediocre at best, and the quality just seemed very poor overall. Even if the cook on the food was better, the quality of the product itself just seemed very cheap.

Spicy Basil is the perfect combo of very savory Eastern food and efficient service. It was a staple for me during COVID and remains one of my go too when I am craving for Chinese, Vietnamese or Thai prepared in a very tasty manner, in generous portions and by a great team of people.Food: 5/5
