Genuinely THE best Chinese food I've found in Chicago! Some of the best egg rolls and crab rangoons I've had in my life! Their beef is very good, has a very good quality and flavor. Chicken is good but not my favorite. Just doesn't compare to the rest of the goodness they have. Cash only. I don't know her name but the lady who works the counter is the sweetest and I really wanted to give her a shoutout!!
It’s cash only so you know it’s good.
Li was very nice & social the food came up quick. The best Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood and has been a staple of a long time. I'll go again.
