Old Li‘s Restaurant

Went for dinner with 2 people. Ordered noodle dish with chicken, pork dumplings, spicy fish, and seaweed/egg drop soup. Presentation was ok, but the food was lackluster. Great menu options, but execution was lacking.

Service and food are really great! Big portions and very well seasoned. Very nicely decorated restaurant. I think there is a new owner that has done lots of work to improve. I will be back to eat.

Visited for lunch with two others. Quick service, good food, and friendly staff.
We were served three small bowls of pickled appetizers:radishes, cucumbers and, spicy cabbage.There were delicious! Our server brought us three more when we had gobbled them up and told him how good they were.
I was impressed with the menu, too. Lots of unusual items, as well as more mainstream meals. The seafood soup was very good!

Food was good, service was great but not worth the amount spent. Chicken fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, spicy fried chicken 2 sodas and 1 hot tea for $70??? I've paid less at better restaurants!

Seven of us ate at lunch on a Sunday and it was our first time. It was not busy due to weather. Most dishes are shareable portions. The sweet/sour chicken ,drunken ribs, and chicken w/noodles were delicious. A big helping of rice came with meals. Great service, friendly staff.

Food was very good. Stopped in during lunch and they had reasonable lunch specials. It took a few minutes for a server to come to my table, but then food came out quickly.

The authenticity of this restaurant is wonderful. Price is great especially considering we all have a second full meal. It is definitely a 10 out of 10.

This place is legit. It might be $20 for sweet and sour chicken but it's enough to feed two maybe even three people. It's not some greasy spoon place, the restaurant is very clean and organized. The food is absolutely delicious and it's apparent that a great deal of care goes into the preparation all the way to the plating of the dish. Even the take out orders are uniquely packaged. You would be hard pressed to find any other restaurant in Charleston where you would get a generously sized portion of affordable, quality food like this. It goes without saying, this is only accomplished with an outstanding staff and a staff will only be outstanding if they have genuine leadership. Quality breeds quality. Reeeeeeeespecting Old Li's culture

We were the first ones in the restaurant and got our orders placed first before other people began to be sat (about 5 other people). We didn't get 2 out of 3 for our entrées for about 40 minutes while everyone else had all their food. When I did get the braised pork and dumplings the pork was definitely overcooked and had some really hard to chew burnt peices, and the kung pao chicken wasn't anything special.

The dumplings were the only redeeming food.

Great service and atmosphere, place is clean. The counter lady won't treat you as a valued customer, she needs a bit more of customer service skills but it's alright. The food is good, I ordered the grilled beef brisket with radish lunch plate. Not much meat which was disappointing if you go by the menu photos, it was ok, had nothing of grilled but it was boiled instead, but still had a decent flavor. The meat pieces had a lot of gristle, which is not edible at all. They'll give you white rice which is ok and tasty along with cabbage. If you want Chinese fried rice you'll need to order separately which we did and it was good, but way very very oily. We also tried the spring rolls, they were ok, and the steamed dumplings were ok as well. Overall it was a decent meal and the waiter was very attentive. Will I return? Maybe, not sure.
