Our normal place is closed on Monday which was news to us so we ordered our exact same order from Li's. I have never been to this establishment but figured we would give it a chance.

I ordered our dinner in person for take out and the staff were very friendly. I was informed it would be about 15 minutes which is reasonable.

Right before they brought the box of food out a kitchen staff member went to the buffet and basically filled up containers with our food to include, white rice, soup, and lo mein. He went back to the kitchen and a minute later the cashier brought out our food.

I asked the one employee if they just filled our order from the buffet to which he replied "yes." I informed him that I came in to order fresh food for take out and not from the buffet. He just kind of stood there with no response.

I paid for my food and left. Upon arriving home the reviews came in fast from family members. The white rice was well, white rice. Can't mess that up too badly. The orange chicken was not good at all. The quality of meat is suspect at best when we actually found a piece of meat. Mostly it was just deep fried, hard chicken something.

My lo mein was mushy; both the noodles and shrimp. It was quickly discarded. The pork fried rice was truly awful.

One saving grace would be the egg drop soup which was not bad. Still not happy they pulled it from the buffet line.

Mondays in the future we will not be having Chinese for dinner. Unless of course it is leftovers from Ping's.
