Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

My go-to delivery Chinese place. The food always comes in 20-30 minutes, hot and with smiles. Solid choices include the crab wontons, drunken noodles, classic american sesame chicken and yaki udon. Pho is ok, but not amazing. Exactly what you would expect and want from Chinese delivery. Not highbrow, just right.

I ordered delivery for the 4th time, and for the first time ever requested that they deliver to my door instead of at the front of the building complex. I even called ahead to make sure they would be okay with this, because of my bad ankle sprain. The man who answered the phone said "no problem!" and I gave him very specific instructions on how to get into the building, which elevator to take, and where to find my apartment. (It's not that hard but I was trying to avoid any issues.) Instead, he calls me to tell me that I must not know where I live, then hangs up on me. When I call back to see if he needs help finding my place, he again hangs up. He showed up at my door 15 minutes later and yelled at me in a language I don't understand. NEVER ordering delivery from them again. Your food isn't good enough for you to have such crappy delivery service.

I've been here for take-out, as well as ordered delivery via GrubHub multiple times. Initially, delivery was awesome. They would arrive far before anyone would expect delivery to show up! It was great! Cheap, decent, fast, hot upon arrival. Love that. The last two times I've ordered through GrubHub, they delivered over 15 minutes after the latest estimate of the delivery window. I've had to call to make sure they actually got my order, and 10-15 later, my meal shows up. Kind of annoying. The spiciness has been inconsistent as well. Mild on one night is no where near mild another night. But that sort of inconsistency is pretty consistent with restaurants like Li's. I might give them one more shot--kinda feels like new management maybe? But I'm getting frustrated, and Hoong's is suuuuper on it with their delivery, and quite tasty too... So why bother with a maybe.
(3)Anitra S.
Every time I order Chinese take out I order it from here. I get the drunken noodles and my boyfriend gets the general tso. They are fast! They won't come up to your apartment, but oh well.
(5)Kristine N.
We've ordered take out from here several times and it's always delicious. Combination fried rice, beef lo mein, pot stickers, orange chicken, it's always hot and delicious.
(4)Angela S.
We drove from Highlands Ranch to have lunch at this place because the Spicy Basil Shrimp is crazy good. We found this place a few years ago when my husband worked nearby and haven't found any restaurant near us that can compare. For $7.50 you get a large portion of shrimp, bok choy, peppers, fresh basil and spicy peppers with a serving of rice( white and the best brown I've had), an egg roll and soup served piping hot and fresh. Made perfectly!
(5)Melanie G.
I have ordered from Li's several times, but recently made the decision to stop. Their food is decent Chinese, and I will not knock them for that. My orders going elsewhere is due to delivery issues. Language barriers are a sensitive subject. I would not fault anyone for having issues with English being their second language, but the last two times I've ordered from here their delivery drivers speak so little English it completely hinders the delivery process. We live in a building that is pretty large, but are on the first floor. Because of this anytime we get deliveries we just instruct the drivers to keep driving around the road (it just runs in a circle around the building), let them know what color shirt we are wearing, and wait on the curb until they reach us. We've never had issues with it. The last two times the drivers from Li's, when given instructions, would say "Okay, Okay!" and hang up, and then just never drive around the building, requiring me to call back several times and try and explain again. The last time was especially frustrating, with the driver continuously ignoring my calls, hanging up on me, and having to tell me he doesn't speak English when I ask him to keep driving. The issue was ultimately resolved with the driver 3 way calling someone else from the restaurant so I could explain to drive around the building and she could translate for the driver. When I met the driver he was the sweetest, nicest and permanently smiled man that made me instantly love him. That's why it's hard to write a review like this, as well. Nicest people but it is really difficult to communicate with such a strong language barrier to the point where you aren't understood at all. If you are going out I would definitely recommend going in, but if you live in a delivery spot that might be a little tricky I would maybe call and explain the directions to someone on the phone so they can be translated before the driver takes off.

Quit ordering because they stopped serving egg foo young Otherwise great food love the following: Lo mein vegetable Steak and jalapeños Happy family Fried rice Egg drop soup Wontons Spring rolls
(4)Ian C.
Always get deliver from here, great food and better prices. Also the quantities are pretty impressive as well, and finally the drivers are always courteous and polite. Can't wait for my order to get here!
(5)Brooks K.
If I could go no stars I would. Worst Chinese food I've had in Denver. Ever. And I meant that. I won't ever order from this place again. The best part about the meal was the free soda. The chicken is soggy and bland. Absolutely no taste. So bad that I am throwing my leftovers away. Not worth eating again. Don't think I could stomach it. Can't believe I took as many bites of this as I did. I now feel like crap. Please do yourself the favor and don't order from this place. I wish I could get a refund for the "chicken" I just ate. $20.00 down the drain I guess. Great Wall is 100 times better and that's saying something. So if you like nasty bland food. This is your spot. If you like decent to good Chinese food you will order elsewhere. I will take my business elsewhere from now on. Wish I could have my money and time back for even ordering here. YYYYYUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK
(1)Jenna C.
Really bad food, greasy, skint on veggies and meat, owners dont speak very good English, makes ordering difficult. Wouldn't go back.
(2)Kevin K.
Worst. Food. Ever. I got delivery. I ordered Beef Pho, Veggie Tempura, and Pad Thai that was surved with fried rice. nothing had taste to it except the cola that came with it as a coupon. Just yuck. It made me throw up. my suggestion to you is stay away.
(1)J K.
Pleasantly surprised by this place. Tucked away in a little strip mall, I let my first impressions get the best of me for awhile before finally stopping in. I'm a picky Chinese food eater, and have come to find that the large majority of places in town all taste the same, all look alike, and are all basically the same low-quality food. MSG galore sort of thing. Li's was different. The food was flavorful, and not just MSG-covered slop. I loved their fried rice, and their noodles were great. The staff was polite and quick, and I was able to sit and drink my beer while I waited in peace while reading for 15 minutes. Will be back, I liked it quite a bit.
(4)Eric V.
Have had the pad thai here a few times. Definitely not the best you'll ever have (a little too sweet for my liking), but definitely not awful, and works great for lunch at the office or something of the sort. I have only gotten delivery, but the service has always been fast and the delivery guy/people of the phone always very kind. In short, a reliable and friendly asian food place that delivers. Sometimes that's all you need.
(3)Jason M.
The guy who cannot spell stars is an idiot. This place was fucking sweet. Fast delivery and great food ::)
(5)Krystyna Z.
The food was what I expected ordering out from a Chinese restaurant. I appreciated that the sweet and sour sauce was packaged separate from the chicken, because the chicken didn't arrive soggy. The crab and cheese wontons were excellent!! I also enjoyed the coconut chicken soup, but just an fyi for anyone who loves spicy food, the soup may have only had a hint of spice to it. I'm pretty sensitive to spicy food and I wished it was spicier. Overall, I would order from this establishment again! The food was good, the delivery man was nice, and it arrived before the estimated arrival time.
(4)Dan K.
Delivery driver was angry that the gate didn't open and then told me he called me, which would have been on my cell phone. There's no record of him calling. Then he took it out on me in an accusatory fashion. Never going to order from here again. Food was pretty good and I would have given this a better score, but the driver was just pissed at me for something that wasn't my fault.
(2)P S.
We have ordered from here many, many times and it never disappoints! The flavors are excellent, the portions LARGE, and the staff friendly. We usually pick up our dinner, but when we do have it delivered, it is fast and the food is still piping hot. One of our favorite places!
(5)Linnea L.
Great food, great service - they have free delivery with a minimum order - my soup was hot and flavorful, great portion sizes, and you can order online.
(5)Derrick L.
Great food, decent prices. Got delivery and the sesame chicken wasn't soggy! The soup was delicious. These guys got it down!
(5)robert s.
This was an OK experience. Would i eat here again? If i was invited by a friend, i might, although i would suggest Peter's Chinese Rest on 12th and Elizabeth. Service was fair. I think that this is Chinese food that is modified for a western palate. So it was just ok, there are many just like it. This does not really stand out.
(2)Jill F.
So today at work we all decided to order food from Li's Asian Bistro. 2 of us ordered Wor Wonton Soup. Now Wor Wonton Soup is suppose to have more than wantons! If I wanted Wonton Soup I would have ordered it. No shrimp, No Chicken, nothing but celery ends and four wontons. The broth was water. No flavor, No salt, No pepper NOTHING! After two packets of cheap soy sauce it still had no flavor. So being the nice person I am called the Bistro to see if perhaps they have sent us food for a person on a restricted diet. They put the chef on the phone and he wanted to argue with me that I was wrong and the soup was full of shrimp, chicken and other great vegetables and the broth was an Old Asian style I wasn't use to....Water is Water and that's what I got, so if he wants to say its Asian he must have bottled water imported from china or something. Then asked me how many shrimp and how much chicken I thought should be in the soup, I told him a minimum of 1 each. I will never order from here again. No only was the food bad, but the service was horrid. (Delivery guy was wonderful though!)
(1)Christopher R.
Very disappointing. I ordered hot & sour soup, which (my fault) turned out to be nothing like I expected. Then I had General Tao's Chicken. Not spicy, too saucy and had very little vegetable accoutrement to it--and even that was undercooked. Good thing I'm starving.
(2)Salvadorian S.
I have order take out from this place many times & it's my job favorite take out place. Yummy food.
(5)Jesus C.
Great food, very good service. Pricing is fair. Li's Asian Bistro has a good variety of asian food. Asian food is one of my favorites and I've been to many places, from NY to LA and this is by far one of my favorites in Denver. Their Spicy Shrimp basil is great, delicious unique flavor pad thai, their classic combination fried rice or the vegan selection has something for everyone. Fast delivery, hot summer or cold winters... they deliver on their promise of Great Service for all.
(5)Max O.
I've ignored their terrible communication, long waits, and mediocre food simply because they are conveniently-located and cheap. And also happen to be one of the very few Asian restaurants which delivers, in Denver... But will ever go back again! I've had enough! No need to get into details... That should probably be enough... Terrible communication, long waits, and bad service for food that is, generally, about 2.5 stars, and, at best, 3.5, or so... (Didn't take long to figure out, so I ended up always ordering the same thing) I warned them after all these mess-ups that they would be losing a long-time loyal customer, but here I am... Angry, hungry, and ordering from someplace else!
(1)Amanda C.
A favorite on my list of Denver delivery options. Seaweed salad and singapore noodles will not disappoint. Service is quick and they remember you!
(4)Kirby Lauren S.
The restaurant is quiet and very clean. We were seated promptly and our orders taken. The food was out in a timely manner and it was just awesome. Had the general taos and Mongolian beef with BBQ pork fried rice. We will definitely be coming back!!
(4)Mallory M.
I found a staple in my food tonight. Enough said. The driver also called several times for directions because he was lost; I just moved here and didn't know.
(1)Dave C.
Disappointing. I ordered the Hot & Sour Soup and the General Tao's Chicken. The soup was good. Unfortunately, the General Tao's Chicken was awful. The only vegetable in it was old, soggy broccoli. It tasted terrible. The chicken was "okay" and I ate it, but only because I was so hungry. The sauce was horribly sweet. I was expecting it to be spicy but it wasn't. There are way too many great options for Asian food in Denver to spend my money on lackluster, boring, almost inedible food. I won't be back.
(1)Michael B.
This is my go to spot for some quick Asian takeout. I typically get a dish with shrimp, but have also gotten chicken and liked it too. I can be picky about my chicken, especially at Asian restaurants, and I have not had any issues yet.
(4)Colin F.
I love ordering from this place - We have been for at least a year. Always fresh and yummy. Delivery is quick also. Pad Thai is my go to.
(5)Jessie S.
I wish I could give 0 stars!!! That's the last time I order from this place! I had to argue with the delivery driver to where the call box was....that he didn't even use. I had to go down. No chopsticks. No fortune cookies. Horrible customer service! I will make sure to tell my entire building who all get menus from this place, not to order from this place!!!
(1)Blanca S.
ok Ill start off with what I ordered for lunch: Chicken Rice Noodle Bowl w/ fish sauce, 8 pot-stickers, 2 egg-rolls, and 2 crystal rolls. My Total $22.30 including tip. It came FAST and it was tasty. I was surprised it was so good considering I just randomly searched "Thai" on yelp and wasn't familiar with the place. The pot-stickers were the best! The whole thing was better than the average Asian place I order from and at least half the price! Id recommend this place, deff gonna get lunch from here again.
(5)Meredith C.
My car is making weird noises. It's a holiday weekend, so I can't take it in, so I figure it was better to wait it out at home with some yummy take-out. I got this menu in my mailbox a few weeks ago and decided to give them a try. YUM! I read a couple of reveiws complaining that the food wasn't warm. Our food was so hot it'd burn you coming out of the HUGE containers it comes in. We ordered the egg rolls (small, but delectable), chicken pad thai and chicken drunken noodles. The portion sizes are huge! They've already fed us for two meals and I think we have 1 meal left from them. All of these items were delivered in under 30 minutes, were SUPER tasty and hot and satisfying. The best part? Dinner with tip was under $30 for the two of us. I think the total bill without tip was $22. What an amazing value. This place is DEFINITELY #1 on my speed dial delivery list thus far. Thank you Li's!
(5)Heather H.
Li's is fantastic! I live nearby and their delivery is top notch. I've been looking for a reliable Asian restaurant and this place has it. Everything I've tried is amazing. Definitely get the spring rolls!
(5)Gretchen G.
We ordered off of Living Social deliveries and I was pleasantly surprised by how big their menu was. Both my cousin and I were devastated a year ago when our favorite asian place was sold and have been in search of good peanut sauce since then. This is as close as we've found and we dipped just about everything in it. The shumai was delicate, just the way its supposed to be (and yes I consider myself a shumai addict). The Vietnamese eggs rolls were just meat sticks, but once dipped in the peanut sauce, we devoured them (I'll skip them next time). The ginger chicken had real ginger in it, lots and lots of real ginger! Highly recommend.
(4)Jesse L.
This place is amazing and run by a hard working family! The owner works with his wife and they are always friendly and polite no matter the hour. The dine in experience is amazing, simple, fast, and delicious. Delivery has its struggles, but keep in mind this is downtown Denver. The past reviews that were angry about drivers having to call and ask for help with apartments etc. I don't think you've worked as a delivery person before. It's hard to know how to get to a stranger's address. Let alone find parking, how to enter apartments. Etc. That's not every instance, but just some empathy goes a long way.
(5)Annie M.
This is truly a 3.5. I ordered the Tom kha Kai, Vietnamese rolls, and the rare beef pho. The beef and chicken were a little thick... I prefer a thin slice in both soups. The Vietnamese rolls were delicious, but get soggy quickly. The Tom kha Kai was better than some, on par w others. I would not order the pho again. Delivery was super fast. You get a free coke with an order of 12$ or more. I'd order from them again, but maybe different items..
(3)Jeremy B.
Good food for the price. The express done in option is awesome for a quick eat if you are in a hurry. Set a time and your good will be waiting hot and ready. You can pay through paypal and the staff is friendly.
(4)Meghan W.
I was pretty pleased the first time I ordered from Li's but this time, not so much. The Pad Thai was almost 100% noodles with very little chicken and almost no vegetables. The vietnamese egg rolls managed to be both soggy and over-cooked at the same time. The sesame chicken was mostly breading, sitting in a pool of water that separated from the veggies because they were sitting at the bottom underneath the hot chicken. The banana tempura were like dishrags. They were so soggy you could ring them out. If you are going to deliver fried food, you HAVE to know that putting it in a Styrofoam container is going to destroy the food. The only decent food in the order were the Crab Cheese Wontons.
(2)Deb K.
Don't order their scallops dish - scallops were the size of my pinky fingernail covered in a pound of batter. The batter wasn't even cooked thoroughly and was mushy/sticky in parts. I've ordered multiple times from them though and the other times were okay - nothing spectacular but at least more edible than the scallops dish.
(3)Marissa T.
I've tried delivery from quite a few places in Denver and usually feel swindled or that the food is just not that good (and sometimes terrible). That can NOT be said about Li's. The food I ordered was delicious and the portions were generous. The food was flavorful and fresh; normally with Asian food I add soy sauce and with Li's there was no need. I ordered peanut curry and beef and broccoli and both were exceptional. I can't speak for the service in the restaurant but the delivery was prompt and friendly. I definitely recommend this place and will order from Li's again!
(5)Nick R.
I love this place. Their lunch specials are super affordable ($6.50-ish) and comes with your main, an egg roll and a cup of soup (if you get it delivered or to go). I have had more than a few different dishes and everything has been really, really solid. The staff is always friendly, the dining room is small but clean and inviting. Sometimes delivery takes a little longer, but that's really the only bad thing I could say about this place. Try the Moon Harbor!
(4)Aliya F.
Do NOT order delivery. They told me 45-50 minutes. Didn't get my order for 2 hours. TWO. That's just insane. I've never waited this long for delivery. I could have walked there and picked up faster than that.
(1)Cynthia T.
We had an amazing dinner at Li's. We ate drunken noodles, spring rolls, and summer rolls. The noodles had the perfect balance of sweet basil and spice. The service was great. We ended our meal with bananas tempura. The chocolate and condensed milk dipping sauce was perfection. We walked from our downtown hotel. I would recommend a taxi. Don't let the strip mall fool you. This place is great!
(5)Jason B.
I ordered online via GrubHub. My food arrived about 25 minutes late (an hour after I ordered.) It was getting close to room temperature at that point. A waste of $20.
(2)Ashlee R.
I really enjoy and appreciate Li's food - some of the best Chinese I've had in Denver. However, both times that I have ordered from there, it has taken an obscenely long amount of time to get my food - over an hour and a half each time. Tonight, it's nearing on 2 hours. When I order delivery, there are so many places I could receive my food from so much more quickly that it becomes not worth it. When I called to check on my order after waiting an hour and 15 minutes, I was simply told "we're busy" and that the driver was on his way. It's been over 20 minutes since I placed that phone call and I still don't have my food, nor an estimated time of when I might reasonably be able to expect it. I only give it 2 stars - as opposed to one - because, like I said, the food is good but, you should go with Li's only if you're ordering before you're hungry because, by the time your food arrives, you'll be ready to eat.
(2)Meg Z.
I recently ordered delivery from here. It took 75 minutes, even though I was told 45. When the food arrived the delivery man was extremely rude and yanked the receipt fr my hand without a thank you. The food we ordered was ALL extremely undercooked and tasted like flour. None of it was crispy at all, and was cold. When I called to inform them, I was told that he "didn't believe" my food was all undercooked and that he could give me a 10 dollar credit for next time. Well my order was 40 dollars and I was never going to order from there again. He never offered to resend any of the food and only did so when I suggested it. He again said he would send me one thing because he "didn't believe it was all bad." We received it and it was still terrible. NEVER order from here they are rude and the food is disgusting.
(1)Chloe H.
Seriously, what's the deal with all the super great reviews? I was at my friend's house and we wanted some snacks. He was saying Li's is great so we went with that. The noodles in the chicken drunken noodles were the highlight. A little greasy, but very flavorful and with a perfect, chewiness. The chicken itself had that weird kinda rubbery-but-not-tough texture I feel like I often encounter when I get Asian food. We also got the whiskey beef. It seemed like the beef was good quality, and it had a nice char, but it was waaaay overcooked. Like "soak it in the broth then drink your water while you chew so you can swallow" overcooked. The veggies and broth had very little flavor, but I did appreciate that they didn't overcook the veggies. By far the most disappointing dish was the sesame chicken. Literally the worst I have ever had. Super soggy, very (very) little flavor, kinda dry...just blech. It was also really cold, which isn't the end of the world when you have your food delivered, but couple with the sogginess and blandness, it was just almost shockingly bad. One thing that didn't particularly bother me, but ruined the mean for my friend, was that all of the dishes were pretty spicy. In fact, that was pretty much the only flavor you could discern int he chicken. In fairness, it only took them 40 minutes to get to us, which is pretty fast for delivery. That also makes em wonder how the chicken managed to get so cold and soggy though. I'm pretty much positive they have a buffet-style tray of it int he back under a (weak) heat lamp that they are just scooping out. Actually, that would explain the dryness of the beef too. Skip it, you can do better.
(2)Jeffrey Y.
Very long delivery time, the delivery guy didn't want to come up to the door (had to meet him on the street) and I'm pretty sure it made us sick after eating it
(1)Robbi S.
Great delivery service. Hot and in half an hour. The potstickers are decent, and Kung pao was great. The chicken chow mein however, is not what you'd expect. I expected crispy deep fried noodles but you get a thing of those wonton strips you put on salad. Not much flavor either.
(4)Miss Ann T.
If Yelp would let me give 0 stars I would. I work across the street from this joint and a coworker was craving Chinese food so we decided to order take out. We called our order in at 12:15, got there at about 12:30 and STILL ended up waiting 30 minutes. Strike 1. They had gotten our order wrong and for some reason added 2 egg rolls that we hadn't ordered and didn't even apologize, the guy just says "it's going to be a minute because this ticket is all screwed up. We then waited about 5 more minutes for them to fix their mistake without an apology of any sort. Strike 2. We FINALLY get our order and take it back to the office and they had neglected to include my co-worker's sweet and sour sauce for the sweet and sour chicken she ordered. It literally took 30-45 minutes for them to bring it over. Strike 3 I haven't even addressed the food itself so here it is-I ordered the Vegetable Tempura lunch which came with wonton soup. The soup was literally inedible and had two of the smallest wontons I've ever seen in my life. I'm pretty sure I could make it better at home and I don't even cook Chinese food. Tempura is supposed to be very light and crispy and this was neither. Also, the two pieces of tofu were not cooked well. I will definitely not be returning to Li's or recommending it to anyone as there are better Chinese/Asian restaurants in the area.
(1)Leah Y.
My office orders from Lis at least once a week because its close by and they deliver. Several times they've brought the wrong food in the delivery. My two incidents were months apart but nevertheless they were horrible experiences. On one occasion they took the word of their chef over me that it was not the wrong dish. Then they asked that I save the dish for them to take back when they bring the right dish. I had given the dish away because its not what I ordered and I did not expect that they'd want it back. They were reluctant to bring me the right dish. They did which is why I have them a second chance. The second time this happened they simply forgot my spring rolls which wasn't a big deal but I paid for them and when I called to tell them if you don't want to come back then at least credit my card the cost of the egg rolls. It was like the third degree of interrogation. I was so angry at the poor service that I decided I will not go back to Li's Asian Bistro EVER again. Some of the other reviews were correct - the food comes luke warm but I just reheated it. The dishes with sauce never come with much (example teriyaki or dipping sauce for tempura).
(1)Michael S.
Li's delivered the wrong order to me and didn't make it right. The driver dropping the wrong order off to start with was rude and unfriendly. The wrong order we got was gross and ended up as compost. Waste of money and time.
(1)Terry T.
Good food. Normal delivery time. Always gets my order correct. Nice person over the phone and nice delivery guy. Never had a problem here.
(4)Elizabeth W.
I decided to order from Li's because 2 different Asian delivery menus came in my mailbox and this one had the best reviews. The problem is I can never narrow down my order, ever. I always want one of everything. For the first time I showed some self restraint. I also never really order they typical fried chicken dishes ie: Kung Pao, General Tsao, Sesame, etc. Crab wantons: filling is awesome, shell is okay. Filling makes up for the shell, which I just dunk in the sweet and sour sauce. Hunan Beef: I have had better. Was not impressed, and it wasn't very spicy at all. Summer rolls: good. Usually when I get these they are packed with more ingredients, and definitely cilantro. However simple, still good and the peanut sauce was pretty good. I will order from here again, as there are many things I want to try. I was disappointed the other reviews did not mention what they ordered and how it was. I want to know what their speciality is. Oh and they said delivery would be in 40 mins, and it came quicker. Or at least it seemed like it, which is important with delivery.
(3)Alex W.
Get take out from here regularly, it is always amazing food. However tonight... their driver had several deliveries so he was a little later than the estimate we got. THEY CALLED to make sure the food wasn't cold. Who does that?! I've never in my life had a place that delivers take that much care, it was the sweetest thing.
(5)Richard F.
I go here at least twice a month sometimes twice a week. It is very good food and kind of has a mama papa feel to it. Cleanliness and owners are the nicest of people.

I've ordered from this place a couple times when I don't want to leave the house. The food is okay at best, normally slightly warm and a bad example of Chinese food but I wanted to like them so I've given them a couple chances. This time I get a phone call telling me the driver had been supposedly calling my cellphone because why? He didn't want to go up in the elevator of my apartment complex to do his job. Not only was I annoyed about having to leave my apartment when it's his job to bring me my food but also my tofu in peanut sauce was cold. Never again Li's.

AMAZING! Ordered here based on a menu that we received at our apartment in Uptown. We looked up the reviews on Yelp, and decided to go with this vs. Happy Kitchen. We ordered on a Sunday night at 5:30 p.m. It took about 1 hour to arrive, but the food was so hot we could barely eat it. By far, the hottest food we have experienced from a Chinese delivery restaurant. However, delivery was actually here 10 minutes early from what they quoted us. They let us know up front what we were expecting. I ordered the Drunken Noodles. It was more than enough food, for dinner and lunch the next day. The hot and sour soup was amazing. Spicy and hot, exactly like it should be. My boyfriend enjoyed the egg drop soup as well.

Delicious take out. I think I've found my favorite! Drunken noodles are good, Saracha beef is amazing!

Yummy yummy... good, reliable, tasty Chinese food, just when you want it - and usually it is delivered earlier than they quote you.

Today's lunch was great! There is 6 of us in the store, 5 guys and me, the Qeen Bee. After being in downtown for 14 years you get tired of the the same deliveries. We normally bring our lunches from home but sometimes feel like ordering food. Today is a busy day and we ordered from Li's. This is a second time we are ordering from them. We all had different things and all of it was great. My portion is always too big for me so I get 2 lunches for the price of 1. Guys say their portions are big but food is so good they have to eat it all. I will not pick any entree over others because everything was very tasty. And the price was great. We threw away other Chinese restraurant's menues because we will not use them. Li's will be our choice #1 in the future.

Awesome place for delivery. Miso soup and fried rice are my go-to's, and both never disappoint. Deliver service is always quick

I ordered some food tonight at 5:45PM... It's 7:30PM right now and nothing. I've had to call and cancel my order (and request a refund). I understand the weather is less than desirable but this is ridiculous. They are within a mile of where I live. While the woman on the phone was friendly (I knew it wasn't her fault) and offered to provide a discount on my next order, two hours (just about) is too long to wait for lo mein and fried rice. Look elsewhere.

Well, it was empty when I got there around 5 pm, that should have been my first clue. The empty restaurant had many dirty tables. Second clue? The guy serving drinks took three tries to get 3 drinks. Should have just walked out right there and then. The food finally arrived, it was okay at best. Lots of it and all that but it made me sick. I had something with chicken. The veggies were definitely fresh but that's about the best thing I can say about the place. Our table never got cleared while we sat there, our drinks never got refilled and we had to practically beg to pay. I think I understand the empty restaurant. I think I will help it stay that way...no going back for me!
