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!

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.
