Very fresh seafood, flavourful dishes served very hot in a semi-formal yet inclusive atmosphere. Shrimp and scallops were fresh, tofu in black bean sauce with mushrooms and onions had so much flavor I wish I could have eaten the whole thing. The hot pot kept it steaming hot through the entire meal. Service was quick, polite and accurate.

Great spot for Chinese food or drinks! They have a huge bar and plenty of tables/booths. It is more upscale than your traditional Chinese food with white table cloths and fancy glasses. Reasonable prices for food that was really fresh, homemade, came out quickly. We got the sweet tea and the sesame chicken with brocoli and fried rice. The plating was really pretty with a decorative cut up orange and looked delicious. They definitely put care into every dish and it was super flavorful. Great spot to meet up with friends, family or hang at the bar for a drink. They have a huge menu with something for everyone. We dined in for dinner but they also had great lunch specials too. Would definitely recommend!

This was a great experience. First...an Asian restaurant that has a full bar?!?!? Chefs kiss! Ambiance is far above average for this price point. Meals under 15 (options above of course) with table cloths and cloth napkins, no plastic anything! For a 13 meal...I don’t see how you could get more value for your money..especially under “Bidenomics” The menu includes some Thai and Japanese options but I went with my old very tried and true favorite...sesame chicken It was done perfectly! Came with fried noodles accompanied by a sweet sauce and a spicy/wasabi(?) mustard that seemed fresh made. The soup was delicious and the service was excellent. I travel for a living and can’t think of a single Chinese restaurant even in the west coast I’d walk past to get to this one

I love this restaurant so genuinely much. I go here with my friends all the time for affordable and delicious food!! The service was very attentive resulting in a relaxing and home-y vibe. The food is always fresh and hot on the plate served to us. Each dish in the different courses caters to individual preferences so there’s lot of options for you to choose from! My friends and I really love the sushi there, we HAVE to get it EVERY TIME; it never misses. The sushi is my favorite of all time, if you haven’t figured it out by now, but I do love the other dishes!!

Great old school American Chinese restaurant. I had a craving for American Chinese and have been to this area many times and always wanted to try Li’s glad I did. Portions are large (single meal likely enough for 2 people) and food is fresh and very good. We had egg rolls (crispy and fat) and General Tao (comes with Rice) and shrimp Lo mein. My only regret is I should have tried Li’s years ago. We didn’t have drinks, but as others mention the bar section was packed. If you are looking for a simple casual and delicious meal, give Li’s a try. It seems they also have very affordable lunch specials.

Stopped in here on a whim because it was close to the hotel my daughter and I were staying at it. My hopes weren't too high for a shopping plaza Chinese food restaurant. The food here is INCREDIBLE! We ordered a pu-pu platter for 2, veggie lo-mein and general tso's chicken. I loved that they serve the general tso's with more veggies than the typical broccoli (red peppers, mushrooms, broccoli and chili peppers) the sweet spicy balance was perfect. The lo-mein was full of vegetables, the platter was delicious. The servings were huge, we ate till we were full at the restaurant, had a snack before bed and lunch the next day! The food was plated beautifully, with edible flowers made from fruits and vegetables. Even though they were busy we were seated right away, got our drinks quickly and our order was taken when we were ready. The food took a little while to come out but like I said they were busy and the amount of detail each order gets, it was well worth the wait. I appreciate that the server was attentive but not over bearing. Some places check on you so often it's hard to hold a convo or you're forced to do the awkward "my mouth is full" nod thing or they constantly ask you if you're ready to pay. Price wise it was a bit expensive for 2 people but honestly you get what you pay for. It's not over priced microwave dinners, it's a full size quality meal, I'm okay with paying more for that. I will absolutely be eating here again and I am genuinely looking forward to it.

Host made room for us at the bar, we needed a quick meal before our show. The bartender was so accommodating and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful evening and dinner. I had the amazing chicken, hubby had Kra pou chicken, so good!
