Highlights - Chef li recently remodeled. Think modern Chinese restaurant with a flower aesthetics vibe here. - Seating indoors and takeout available - The best part, you can purchase all the orchid/flower arrangements in the restaurant. The food also comes with floral decor. - Plenty of parking in the plaza that has a market, many eateries, and dessert shops nearby - Great option for vegetarians or vegans. - My favorite dishes: Assorted seafood bean curd soup, lettuce wraps, honey roasted walnut prawns, dry sautéed string beans, and vegetable delight - Dessert menu is impressive for a Chinese restaurant with options that include nicely present gelato, cheesecake, panna cotta, to name a few. My go to is just basic fried bananas with their green tea ice cream. Tip - Take out is just as good as eating in. Know what you want and be ready when on the phone. No frills, efficient, and a staple for Chinese food.

While the place is very clean and the food is really fresh, the food is not good. Chinese food is usually flavorful and tasty without the heavy sauces. They lather it in sauce and that is all one can taste. Upon receipt of my bill, I was shocked that my bill had an automatic 20% gratuity added to it. They said that parties of five or more have to pay an 18% tip (and as my receipt shows, I was clearly overcharged. The gratuity is determined off the subtotal, not the subtotal and tax). Granted, we are a family of five, but I think it's ridiculous that my one year old who did not order a dish is included in the party size. It's upsetting especially because this was unexpected. Customers, beware of the hidden costs and check your receipt.

Chef Li’s is officially my fave Chinese restaurant. Beautiful dining area. Service is friendly and inviting. I Love Wanton Soup and they did not disappoint. The Fresh Pineapple Basil Fried Rice w/Prawns & Chickens was soooo good! My friend let me taste her Shrimp Egg Foo Yung and it just melted like …. oh my goodness! I look forward to trying many more dishes. I had my dish boxed to go because it was a lot to eat in one setting. Warmed it up later for dinner and it was just as good as the first time/bite. Thank you!

Had dinner at Chef Li and ordered the seafood combo and fried tofu clay pot. The amount and variety of seafood is generous and the taste is also good without being too salty. Also ordered a Tiramisu dessert from the impressive dessert menu as well.
