Everyone, please do not order from this restaurant. The prices here are significantly higher—much more expensive—than anywhere else, yet the food is practically inedible. The main reason for this is that they have just hired a new chef. The dishes prepared by this new chef are truly terrible—absolutely dreadful—and the hygiene standards are also extremely concerning.

The owner died 5 years ago, I don't know how the restaurant is doing now.

A Pretty good little Chinese food Takeout restaurant, and the Lady owner is kind and friendly. I would definitely prefer to give them business instead of fast food drive thru nearby. I like good fresh hot food, good service and good price from a local business like this one. Thank you China Li, and keep up the good work!

Food is typically good though it sometimes lacks in flavorfulness. My meal literally only had 7 pieces of chicken in it. Smh

Good tea , good lo mein. The lady working was nice enough to explain the difference between chow mein and Lo mein when I didn’t know which I was supposed to order

This is a small restaurant, really small. There aren't even any tables. It's on a little feeder road just past the 164 overpass on Cedar Ln. Turn in by the 7-11, otherwise you have to turn in the feeder road further down. I found China Li on the BeyondMenu app. They use another service for online orders now.
I got a vegetable lo mein, which was great. The broccoli was kind of big pieces. I also had some chicken with mixed vegetables. It was also good, nice chicken and lots of different vegetables. The pork fried rice was ok too.
This place is a reliable pick when I'm out here. Lots of locals were in and out getting their usual.

Would love to continue ordering here but can't get anyone to answer anymore. Calls go directly to a voice-mail and no one calls back.

Worst Chinese I’ve had in the area. We threw away $70 of food tonight- don’t let DoorDash deceive you! Everything from the rice, chicken and noodles to was nasty and inedible. We are ordering a pizza now
The plate had two small bites taken out- not even a lot of food given for the Price. Egg roll was good but that’s it
I come here fairly often. And the lady at the counter is very kind and the food has always been great. Especially for the nights where you just don't want to cook

The best tasting "take out" Chinese food in Ptown. Very good English speaking and delicious lemonade offered.
I’m somewhat new to the churchland/portsmouth area and have tried SEVERAL other places that just do not compare. china li is the best, every time!!! I embarrassingly order at least once a week ?
