King Li cantonese resturant — Restaurant in Rotherham

If you’re like me and put out the feelers before you go to a restaurant for the first time, you’ll have already have heard about the King Li and I am glad to confirm it didn’t disappoint! From start to finish it was amazing! We started off with some local Tsingtao beers which really hit the spot, crisp and refreshing. The starters then came piping hot in temperature and spice, just how I like it. We also ordered some prawn crackers which I initially thought were pricey but after seeing the abundant overflowing portion that arrived, I have to admit they were good value. On to the mains, I wasn’t sure where I was going to fit it but soldiered on and I am glad I did. In this day and age where sustainability is key, it was nice to see the starter cutlery was recycled for the main event! Across the table we had a mix of duck, beef and chicken in various sauces and all were the perfect combination of meat, veg and well concocted sauce. I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of salt and pepper chips, they need to be bursting with flavour and have a kick like a Japanese mule and again the king li’s version of the side was on point!

No room for pudding, so we left for a quick sharpener in the travellers while watching the turn but not before we paid compliments to the chef! The diners club roadshow continues but we will be back to try some more delicacies from the king li...

The restaurant closes at 10 pm on a Saturday. Not enough food, we ordered a set meal for four with only three of us sharing. My granddaughter ordered a separate dish which did not arrive with the meal, we had to remind the staff they had forgotten the dish. The staff even thought they were nice. they were young and unexperienced. I ask one of the staff if they did Irish coffee and he had to go and ask as he was not sure what I was talking about. We were disappointed with the whole experience as years ago we used to frequent the place quite often and it was bulging at the seams now there was more empty...

We travel 40mins to come dine at King Li and hands down the best Cantonese restaurant we have dined in. Very clean and friendly staff, they even remember our drinks order “Diet Coke and water”! All of the dishes we have sampled are always fresh and hot, but by far our favourite is fillet steak in peking sauce. Maybe slightly pricier than your usual Chinese restaurant, but it is well worth that little bit extra. Would definitely recommend an evening out here and we will be...
