Little Basil is a charming little gem of a take-out restaurant that serves delicious food, located in the middle of The Village Mall plaza along Kedron. Food has always been fresh, and the lady who takes your orders and serves is always so kind. I'm usually quoted between 10-20 minutes for it to be ready (in off-peak times); but I'm sure the wait would be longer if during lunch or dinner hours. Crispy Orange Chicken is always my go-to dish here, and seems unique to Little Basil—I haven't seen it at other restaurants. A little too heavy on the sauce, perhaps, but it’s still my favorite. Dine-in is non-existent, and you would do best to order ahead—if you can't patiently wait. Chopsticks upon request.

Their vegetable tofu I have had for a few years here and they make it the best I ever had. The food is yummy and the service is also pleasant.

I can't go anywhere else. I've tried Chinese joints all over and this is by far the best location. Food is always hot; they never forget anything and nothing is ever left out of the bag. The portions are large so there is always leftovers for the next day, which can be a nice reheated lunch.

I work in the same shopping center that Little Basil is located in every so often and every time I do, i make sure I eat from there. The food is both fresh and delicious and the owner and his wife are super friendly. I highly recommend this place.

I love to order from Little Basil Morton. Deliveries are fast and accurate, and the food still needs a little time to cool off when it gets here, no cold plates here. The food itself is very good - better than most of what's available outside of Chinatown in Philly.
