I was definitely on the fence regarding eating at Old Li's Restaurant... Why? Preconceived ideas…read morebased on nothing basically. How wrong was I?! Old Li's is an outstanding authentic Asian restaurant. I loved it. No reservations required and plenty of tables. It's a very clean well ordered establishment. Also plenty of free parking right outside. The staff could not have been any better, prompt, attentive & very knowledgeable about the menu. The round table we sat had had a "lazy Susan" to facilitate the sharing of dishes. We ordered based on recommendations, personal taste & heat levels. The dishes were absolutely delicious. So good. I think the Peking Duck was the star of the show. If you are seeking Asian authenticity & phenomenal family service.. Old Li's in N. Charleston near Tanger outlet is your place to go. Of note the prices cannot be beat. A really nice change!!

Service was prompt and friendly. Ordered the stir fried beef and green pepper lunch, includes a soft drink. Food arrived quickly and had good flavor but lacking something to put it in the great cateogry. Love the boiled egg that was included. Overall a good visit, I'll return to check out something else on the menu.

The green beans and steak dumplings were my favorite part of the meal. The Dan Dan noodles were good and VERY spicy. My husband liked the pork belly boa. We both enjoyed the cocktails.

The atmosphere is intimate and stylish, making it the perfect little date night spot. We already know we'll be back and can't wait to try more of the menu.

What happened yesterday when I ordered takeout was what made me take the time to write this review. 10+ minutes After picking up my order I received a phone call where they were asking me if they forgot to include one of our dishes we ordered. I had not checked the bag, which blows my wife's mind every time, and realized that we indeed were missing our Chef Loong beef. This act of reaching out to me because they realized they made a mistake blew me away. Amazing customer service from a very delicious restaurant. FIVE STARS!!

How have I not eaten at JF before?! I feel like I have been missing out. I visited on a Saturday…read morefor lunch and sat at the bar. The whole place feels quaint and local, yet refined and classy. First off I love that it's a full service bar and eating at the bar is no problem. Second I absolutely love they sell pitchers of beer. Not many taps, but still pitchers. And it's mostly local beer. I was with my husband and we wanted to try several things and took recs from the bartender who was awesome. We ordered the pork dumplings, the scallion pancake and the spicy sichuan hot karaage rice bowl. And we made it a combo with miso soup and an egg roll for $4. The pork dumplings were SO good. I could eat a meal of those alone. They were dense and flavorful and the dipping sauce was slightly spicy. The scallion pancake was a surprise delight. It was crispy and not too greasy again with a delicious dipping sauce. The miso soup...chefs kiss. It looked like ordinary miso soup but there was something extra that we really loved!! And the egg roll was big and juicy and fried and wonderful. It's a veggie egg roll but don't let that fool you. So much flavor and again the sweet chili dipping sauce left us drooling. Most of those sauces are too sweet but this was the perfect blend and the perfect spice level. The rice bowl was full of flavor!! The spice on this is quite a lot so make sure you can handle heat if you order the "hot" version. But again lots of flavor not just hot. Thank god we didn't order anymore food because this was plenty for the two of us to leave full and honestly we could've had leftovers. We will 1000% be visiting again and fully understand the hype around this phenomenal restaurant!!

My friends and I enjoyed a tasty dinner here on a bustling Saturday night. For a group of 4, the…read morewaiter recommended 6-8 dishes which was just the right amount. We started with the Vaya Con Dios frozies, which was dangerously tasty and reminiscent of an Asian twist on a pina colada. We ordered the corn bread, which was a great mix between southern style corn bread with spring onion butter, gouda, and honey. The size was slightly larger than an Eggo waffle and was a good portion between 4 people. The karaage was also tasty, with huge chicken portions and a sauce that included lemon mayonnaise and a tasty soy-sauce mix. Not to be outdone, the pork dumplings were a delicious mix of potato, leek, brown butter, and yuzu, and the market veggies were a bit tangy with dill, mint, and more. The fried rice and bucatini were yummy carb additions as well. This place is on the slightly nicer side with a gorgeous interior ambiance, and as a bonus had plenty of vegetarian dishes as well. I would recommend this place to folks in Charleston looking for a unique fusion meal.

Just one look at our picture and you can see that not only is everything so saturated and intoxicatingly rich looking and tasting, the variety of dishes and ambiance all brought the house down. The scallion noodles were really good BUT my mom's are better. I do still appreciate the crunchiness of the fried scallions and the tanginess of the oil sauce but I wanted a slightly thinner, more slippery noodle and the inclusion of sesame seeds and fried shallots for a more well rounded flavor profile. Their general Tso's tofu dish was absolutely delicious. Their kung pao mushroom dish leaned towards the saltier side but was still incredibly appetizing. I got the Cantonese egg noodle with cha shao pork slices. The pork, while tasted and looked great, was cut way too thickly. They also could've used a bit more heat and time on the grill. The entree portions were big but the scallion noodles were tiny. Our server was personable but did get our bill mixed up with another table. Besides that, I did appreciate his recommendations and commentary. Loved this place and it ended up being our favorite restaurant in Charleston so that was high praise.
