I don't know how this place has good reviews. McDonald's is better. The teriyaki chicken was not edible - the chicken was tough and the sauce tastes like ketchup mixed with soy sauce, 1/10. The fried rice is plain and bland, 4/10. The krab rangoons have an off taste, 3/10. The meat in the wontons was tough, 3/10. The sweet and sour chicken was mediocre, 5/10.

I had a large chicken fried rice to go. Well, it’s all to go. The food was hot and tasty, but the chicken seemed more steamed than fried. Plenty of food for the money.

The person who said this is the best Chinese food they’ve ever had must have been from Florida. I thought it was middle of the road (for Florida). The dumplings were rubbery and meat had a weird taste. I paid with cash and the woman just took the money and walked away without giving me change. It was 70 something cents, but still. If I want to give you that tip, that should be up to me. Her tip was included when I paid online. One star off for that stunt.

Amazingly fresh flavor. One of the best ever! I will add this to my favorites list. The 15 minute drive is very convenient too.

It’s a take-out only place since 2021.
I order just for myself, and spend $45-$50 just so I can make five or six lunchtime portions and a dinner portion too (and freeze them.) It’s that good. it is definitely the best Asian/Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to in the US.

I was SO impressed by out takeout at Chef Li!! I spent years living in NYC and having endless amount of good Chinese options available, and this place did not disappoint.

The ultimate hole-in-the-wall establishment, in the very best of ways! The hot and sour soup was pretty much perfect. The egg rolls were delicious, as was the szechuan chicken.

The service was very friendly and the food came out quickly. We're only in the area for 2 days, but I think we'll be back tomorrow for more!

Take out.
I will NOT return.
The food is subpar and pricey. People need to know.
The hot n sour soup, base delicious but not authentic. White button mushrooms, raw carrot and plain tofu. Nothing else. Nothing authentic to Chinese hot n sour soup.
Steam dumpling. Skimpy filling with decent flavor and tender but SKIMPY quantity of flavorless dumpling sauce.
Egg roll. Soggy and boring. Flavorless. Seemed like just cabbage that was limp and nothing else.
Crab Rangoon. Skimpy filling, soggy on the outside. Weird flavored sauce.
Pork and eggplant -DELICIOUS! Large tender slices of pork with some nicely cooked eggplant in a great sauce.
House egg foo yung. Flavorless. Had some shrimp. Otherwise I didn’t taste any other meat and the rest of the egg pancake was flavorless and burnt on edges. The sauce was AWFUL. THIN and no flavor.
Plain rice tasted old and mushy.
Stir fried rice was awful. Rice, soy sauce and egg. No veggies, not even onion. No flavor. Threw it away.
Take your chances but I won’t be back.

Ordered the chicken fried rice and it was really good. Actually this is one of my favorite Chinese food spots. My daughter will only order from here. The employees are very friendly and polite. I didn’t have to wait super long to get my order to be ready. I recommend if you’re in the area to give them a try for yourself.
