VERY complete menu with a friendly staff. We visited on a Sat night and there were plenty of open tables at 6:30pm. We ordered three dishes plus steamed rice and everything was table side within 5 minutes. Desserts are pretty expensive as is the beer at $9 per 12 oz bottle. All the flowers inside the restaurant are for sale. Nice touch!

First time at Chef Li’s tonight for dinner. Food was excellent and service was very good. Clearly high quality ingredients used. 3 flavor sizzling rice soup, Szechuan prawns and scallops with mixed vegetables ordered. Will be back!

I love this restaurant. I have also bought many plants (orchids and bamboo) for special occasions. The owner is real friendly and always there. I can order take out and it is always hot and fresh when I pick it up! They are a small family restaurant style and these days it important to help local restaurants. The food is always awesome. It is hard out there these days to survive so support local small businesses when you can!

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 too hot or returning it for being too cold. I think you will enjoy the experience.

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 other dishes!

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.

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 me taste her Shrimp Egg Foo Yung and it just melted like …. oh my goodness! I look forward to trying many more dishes. I had my dish 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 first time/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
