First time dining here and it was delicious! They offer GF dishes (using gf soy sauce), just ask. We ordered the chef special... thin rice noodles, kung pao beef and shredded pork. All were tasty. Atmosphere was nice. Will be coming back to try otherdishes! Read more
This place really stands out. Starting with the dining area with it being a great, calm setting. The staff were friendly and the... food was just outstanding. Large portions, and at a great price. Read more
Meh. Not impressed. They use canned pineapples (gross). Also, I ordered cheese won tons and got these weird fried crunchy things... (with no cheese). For what it's worth, the orchids are beautiful. Still, there are better options in the area. Read more
Extremely beautiful food and decor. Rarely do you see a small business do things as well as Chef Li's. The food has always been... been prepared wonderfully and presented with such style and artistic flair. Read more
Chef Li?s is officially my fave Chinese restaurant. Beautiful dining area. Service is friendly and inviting. I Love Wanton... Soup and they did not disappoint. The Fresh Pineapple Basil Fried Rice w/Prawns & Chickens was soooo good! My friend let metaste her Shrimp Egg Foo Yung and it just melted like ?. oh my goodness! I look forward to trying many more dishes. I had mydish boxed to go because it was a lot to eat in one setting. Warmed it up later for dinner and it was just as good as the firsttime/bite. Thank you!

This restaurant is not to be missed. It has been redecorated with beautiful decor and gorgeous orchid arrangements. The food is... delicious and MSG free. I started going here a few years ago because of MSG free food. You won't be disappointed. Ann Aine Read more
Highlights - Chef li recently remodeled. Think modern Chinese restaurant with a flower aesthetics vibe here. - Seating indoors... and takeout available - The best part, you can purchase all the orchid/flower arrangements in the restaurant. The food alsocomes with floral decor. - Plenty of parking in the plaza that has a market, many eateries, and dessert shops nearby - Greatoption for vegetarians or vegans. - My favorite dishes: Assorted seafood bean curd soup, lettuce wraps, honey roasted walnutprawns, dry sautéed string beans, and vegetable delight - Dessert menu is impressive for a Chinese restaurant with options thatinclude nicely present gelato, cheesecake, panna cotta, to name a few. My go to is just basic fried bananas with their green teaice cream. Tip - Take out is just as good as eating in. Know what you want and be ready when on the phone. No frills,efficient, and a staple for Chinese food. Read more
We were first greeted by, my friend, not you guys. The waiter made a suggestion about the order. Each course arrived on the... table, one at a time and the temperature of the food was perfect. It was enjoyable to taste and eat the food without being toohot or returning it for being too cold. I think you will enjoy the experience. Read more
