Consistently good, fresh food in a pleasant setting. Service is quick and friendly and the staff are knowledgeable about the menu and will try to accommodate special orders to avoid certain ingredients, etc. It isnt the cheapest place around but portion sizes are good for the price, even though they increase the lunch prices for weekends and holidays. Their lunch special offers about 20 different entree choices and comes with soup, an egg roll and your choice of white or fried rice. (Depending on when you come in, there might be a choice for soup or there might be only one type available.) Most of the food isnt spicy even if it says in the menu that it will be, so if you like things hot, be sure to tell your server. Theres a large lot for the plaza, so Ive never had a problem finding parking.

A meal of very delicious food with fresh flavors in each dish we ordered. Despite arriving 12 minutes prior to closing, the service was attentive and quick. Seated amongst a stunning display of live orchids any collector would covet, the whole experience was a pleasant diversion from the seemingly banal mini-mall setting. Every entree ordered was VERY good, no "standouts as each became a favorite of someone at the table! Well certainly be back for more excellent Chinese food and another addition to the orchid family at home! (Orchid prices are astonishingly low while menu items are a reasonably good value with the average around $10-$11). Nice Experience.

somethings wrong with their ingredient. Maybe they are using canned chicken..I had 2 dishes with chicken and they are all tasteless and dry. Typical for old or canned ingredient.. Pineapple fried rice was also very bland, and pineapple was not fresh at all as they described on menu. No specialty food, not-so-fresh ingredient, expensive dishes... Maybe good for old American people... Sorry to say, but probably wont go back again.

Chef Li offers the best Chinese cuisine I have ever had! The food its amazingly fresh and well-seasoned, and potion sizes are perfect and presented in a very appetizing way. The atmosphere is comfortable and classy (but no need to dress-up).The service is prompt and all my orders have been delivered accurately, quickly, and at the right temperature. I highly recommend this restaurant to all.

The restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. The food is very tasty and the service is great. However, Ive ordered the Vegetarian Moo Shu several times. When I order it to eat in the restaurant, its vegetarian. When I order take out, there is meat in it. Not sure why the inconsistency. The restaurant management should ensure that the customer receives what they order.

Went for lunch and it wasnt what I expected. The decor is bright and filled with flowers that you can purchase to take home. Service was prompt if not necessarily cheery. The food was served quick. I had the Kiwi Strawberry Chicken which was a unique take on sweet and sour chicken. Definitely recommend.

Best neighborhood food. Great staff and owners who welcome all in the community and kids and vegetarians. The stunning orchids attached table are also for sale. Its nice to see a place where all are welcome and takeout portions are enough for great leftovers.

The absolute best Honey Walnut Shrimp Ive ever tasted. Though the last time I purchased it they no longer added the honey dew melon to the recipie. Please return to the original menu. And I will continue to tell everyone how great a restaurant you are!

Best lemon chicken, chow mein and soups. Quick service. Not cheap but worth it. The place is very clean and you can actually bring a date here. The ambiance of all of the pretty orchids is so nice. Cute little restaurant!

If youre a chinese food fan check this place out. The food is excellent. Each entree is a little large for one person, just right for two. Friendly fast service. They also have a stunning orchid selection.

I ordered the sizzling rice soup at Chef Lis. But all I got was chicken broth. They refused to put rice in the rice soup.
