I'm writing this to help clear up the negative first impression the exterior might give. The windows only look dirty because they're covered in thick plastic. I drive between Baltimore County and Gettysburg often, and needed Christmas Day takeout. After reading the reviews (better than any in Gettysburg), I called on Christmas Eve to confirm they'd be open -- they were. Their menu is limited, but the prices are reasonable. I called in my order on the road; it took a couple tries to get through, and when I did, the woman let me know it would be a 40-minute wait because they were slammed. She was polite, repeated my order back, and I headed that way. When I arrived, the parking lot was quiet, but once inside I could clearly see how busy they really were from all the foot traffic in and out and lots of bags with each order. The restaurant was clean, and the woman working was warm, apologetic about the wait, and literally running back and forth to help everyone. She double-checked my bags, noticed a missing rice, and rushed to grab it. For three large entrees, egg rolls, and soup, my total was about $45 -- plus she offered a free 2-liter and pointed me to sauces and utensils. By the time I got to my parents' house 20 minutes later, the food was still piping hot. The egg drop soup was exactly what I hoped for, the egg rolls were tasty, and my chicken with broccoli was solid (I added some hot sauce for extra kick). My parents enjoyed their General Tso's -- plenty of sauce, mild-to-medium heat, and tender chicken. I took menus for myself and my parents; it may not be the closest option for them, but it's easily one of the better choices when I'm driving through. Friendly, appreciative service + clean space + good food = I'll absolutely be back.

Portions for lunch special were nice size. The flavor is a little less than average. And lacking meat and vegetables. Very plain. Unfortunately about half way through my wonton soup I started to get ill. Not sure what that was and I'm not pointing fingers.. but I do not recommend this place. I think it worth the drive. Going somewhere else.

If you order the teriyaki options, they serve it completely dry and if you ask for extra sauce, you get a few drops. You will choke eating this dry food. The customer service was never great, but the new lady working there has never heard of customer service. They have a lot of improvements to make. The prices are getting higher, the food quantity is getting lower, and the overall quality is nonexistent. At this point, I give them the lowest rating available.

I don't usually leave reviews, but after my experience today, I feel compelled to share. I ordered…read moretakeout and was incredibly disappointed with the quality of the food and even more so with the customer service. I ordered the beef and broccoli and received what was essentially a container full of barely cooked broccoli. It was maybe 80% broccoli with hardly any beef to be found. The house noodles, which usually come packed with a variety of meats and shrimp, came with maybe five or six shrimp--no other meat. As for the General Tso's chicken, it was overloaded with broccoli as well, which is not how it's ever come before. I have ordered from here for over 6 years ago. The last time we ordered we were a bit disappointed but not nearly as much as today. When I called about the food, the woman who answered was rude. I was told I was wrong and that's how it has always come which is a lie. They refused to replace or refund. If you want good Chinese food in Gettysburg go to the outlets.

We thought we would give it a try. Who knew they had sushi too? The food is better than most any other place we have ever been to and we have travelled extensively and are foodies. The waitress was great and recommended the crab Rangoon (hand made to order) and the steamed dumplings. We got some avocado and California rolls and then shared a spicy beef soup with udon noodles. It comes with dumplings and the richest most flavorful broth and tenderest beef you've ever had in your life guaranteed!! And wasn't even terribly spicy so get it if you are afraid of spice! You won't be sorry. We noticed they have home made deserts as well like cheesecake and tiramisu. We LOVE this place and will be back a lot. A lesson learned in not judging a restaurant by its' cover. I also hear the tofu general tso's is incredible and so much so that it is even better than the chicken !

For nearly 11 years we've resided in delightful Gettysburg and have been enjoying Li's for most of that time ever since it was converted from a karate studio to a Chinese restaurant, although the majority has been take out over the last 6-7 years. Tonight i was hungry after a 4 hour drive home and decided upon this reliable dining establishment. I was immediately greeted and seated by a young and affable woman named "Abby" who spoke little English (and I speak zero mandarin!) I arrived at 4pm on a Monday which was the dinner buffet (see photo). There was only one other couple when I was immediately seated, however within 15 minutes there were about a dozen people and a seemingly consistent take-out business. I filled my plate and after enjoying that chose about 8 assorted sushi bites. My beverage was hot tea which was brought to my table within a minute of my arrival. Everything was fresh and tasty. My appetite mostly assuaged, I went back up for some dessert pickings (see photo) I also enjoyed a cup of wonton soup, freshly prepared. (pic attached). The bill for me came to $20.09 plus a tip which I happily included because my pleasant server was so accommodating, smiled a lot, hustled, and evidently tried her best. I brought my own hand sanitizer and really think that they should be available since people touch all sort of nasty things and then touch the utensils at the buffet bar. If a tourist to our historic and charming town, check it out rather than visiting a national burger franchise. If a local as am I, order from here and support a local business, whether dining in or take out you walnt be disappointed. Oh, as if 4:30 pm as I'm wrapping up my review, there are about 18-20 people here, still with loads of seating available!
