    Beef and shrimp lo mein drenched in chili oil
    Anthony H.

    First off I would like to say this is one of my hidden gems goto spot! Service: nice friendly and pretty quick with your orders Rating: 4.5/5 what would of gave it a 5 would be a smile Food: I only come here for the lo mein and the lo mein only!!! I usually get the shrimp and chicken but today I got beef and shrimp and like always the flavors are consistent so tasty generous portions every bite is full of flavor Lo mein: 4.5 what would have made it a 5? I would say if it was a bit more saucier but overall it's a flavor bomb Chili oil: 5/5 if you love spice make sure you ask for the chili oil it's to die for!! Ambience: 2.5 now here's the thing this is not really for a sit down spot it's more of a takeout restaurant so entertainment none decoration ehhh? But I'm a foodie I came to eat only to be amused by food not views so all in all if you'd like a nice quick bite to eat keep Li's bowl in mind.....

    Bomb Chinese fried chicken wings

    I really don't understand some of the reviews being low, this place is great, family owns and really competitively priced. This is my go to for the fried chicken, wings and fried rice. Definitely worth a try if you haven't been here before. This place is great!

    I always go there I order a kung pow chicken and fried rice I got white instead didn't have no state when I called they said they couldn't do anything I had to come back I don't live close so I hadeat a no taste food I feel like they don't care if I come back or not

    Beef lo mein and chicken fried rice - not bad
    Javier G.

    So after three years of avoiding this place at all cost, I decided to finally come in. I ordered the beef lo mein, and the chicken fried rice to the most basic items you could possibly order. The chicken would deemed as safe and mostly dark meat. Lo mein has slight sweet sauce to them and the meat. Well it was edible and I did not spit it out and that's pretty impressive for the price point. If I was to return, I would order the chicken fried rice and a soup. I probably would not get the going beef, which is my favorite and the reviews for orange chicken are pretty bad but I think there's an opportunity for the chicken teriyaki.

    This small place is near where I work and is great for a quick bite. Being that I'm normally tied up on the day to day and eat lunch at my desk take out is normally my go to. The portions are bigger than you would expect from a hole in the wall place like this. The staff is friendly and the food is always ready to go as soon as I arrive. The sushi is fresh and has a clean taste to it. The Gyoza are a bit small, but to be expected as an appetizer. All the rice and noodle bowls are as good as any quick take out place. Do be careful if having take out that when you are cutting or using your fork you don't push through the take out box! The meals tend to be very saucy and can leak out. I've made that mistake once or twice. Definitely enough food to make a meal and have leftovers. A definite go to for a quick lunch!

    I decided to drop in and check this place out. I am looking for new places to eat to eat in the area since my job relocated in south Phoenix area. Well, I just ended up ordering the pork fried rice and for the price it was decent. I will be back to try more of the menu. If you're in the area give them a try.

    Supposedly this is a Las Vegas Roll...... ughhhh

    What in the f... is this??? I'm so mad I paid $30 for a meal. And I can't believe they have the audacity to serve this. This is garbage.

    Nice portions, egg drop soup is perfect. Orange chicken didn't have much orange flavor though and not as crispy as usual. Solid takeout.

    We were going downtown for a concert, craving some sushi and found this place on Yelp. No…read morereservations available, I did check their website where you can be adding to a waitlist, but it stated currently no waitlist and invited us to just arrive at restaurant. We arrived a little after 5pm and the restaurant was mostly empty. But in the next 20 minutes it filled up and there was open sitting at the bar only. The mood was initially quiet but quickly turned more up beat as the restaurant filled and pop rock music was playing. We asked our waiter a few questions about a few of their rolls and he was very helpful with guidance and recommendations. We ordered Salmon Lemon, Spicy Tuna, Salmon Avocado Maki and California rolls to share for two. This restaurant uses purple rice rather than traditional white rice. This was the first time we have tried a sushi roll made with purple rice and we both loved it. It added a nutty flavor and hearty texture. Purple rice is similar to wild rice and far nutritionally superior to white rice with more antioxidant and fiber. Shortly after we ordered we were served a potsticker dish. I mentioned that we did not order the item and were informed the appetizer was complementary. We thanked the server and tasted the dish. The potstickers were nicely pan fried and had a great crust and flavorful chicken filling. Delicious! About five minutes later our rolls were delivered. All were fresh tasting and delicious. Our favorite was the Salmon Lemon roll. We loved the pop the lemon added. Honorable mentions to the Spicy Tuna roll, very well done, excellent balance of heat and flavors. We truly enjoyed our dining experience and look forward to returning. Highly recommended for a quality sushi experience!

When we walked in it had a very fishy smell, so it kind of made us second guess our choice. But we went for it anyhow. The greeter/server was very pleasant and sat us. It was very clean inside with ample space between seat. We browsed through the menu and started with our usual edamame and pot stickers. The edamame was salted well throughout where a lot of places just put the salt on top only. We ordered a couple varieties of sake which were both good. Out of all of the things we ordered the karange skewer was just a little more oily than were use to, but still good. The spicy salmon roll had really great flavor and the lollipop roll was probably one of the better versions that we have had. The musubi was giant to say the least, it was good, but offered a bit too much rice. Overall the food and service was great and we were very happy that we ended up here!

We were nearby for a show, and decided to stop in on a Wednesday evening for a late dinner with some friends. They have a good happy hour menu, and my friends ordered off there, but I was craving sushi so I got the nigiri omakase. It came with miso soup, which I enjoyed, definitely hard to go wrong there. The sushi itself was decent, nothing crazy, but definitely better than grocery store quality. The tuna and salmon pieces were a little fishy, maybe not the freshest, but it was also quite late (~10pm) so I wasn't expecting too much. Beautifully presented, and the cuts were quite large which was nice! The food came out pretty fast, and the service was pleasant. The restaurant vibes are pretty dark, and moody. The bathroom was kind of scary personally, super dark and a little messy, so I decided to wait till I got home. Overall, a solid experience, and definitely a good choice if I am in the area.

The appetizer was amazing, we each got the crispy rice and I love that each one was a different fish and slightly different flavor. I don't remember which roll we got, I think it was the blue dragon one, but that was delicious, good amount of rice and fish and great flavor. The truffle rib pasta was good as well, the short ribs were cooked perfectly and the flavor on that was insane. I do wish that they would've tossed the pasta in the same sauce the rib came in before adding it to the red pasta sauce. The pasta sauce itself lacked flavor and just tasted like blended down tomatoes. If the pasta had a scoop of the rib sauce too, that would be absolutely insane!! For dessert we didn't have a choice and it was just the miso caramel cheesecake. Now that is some of the best cheesecake I've had in an incredibly long time. I don't taste the miso flavor in the caramel besides the salty sweetness of it but that combo was perfect, especially with the homemade candied pecans. I don't know if the cheesecake was left out or purposefully like that but I love how when the cheesecake was served it wasn't cold! Usually cheesecake is served really cold and kind of like a cream cheese brick you have to cut into it with your fork. But this was barely chilled so the cheesecake was not super cold and it just melts in your mouth. It's so smooth, best dish of the night hands down. This place was very nice and great location. Everything is clean and a great ambience. There's a bar you can sit at when you walk in before you go to the tables. I do think that every side smaller table should automatically have the table lamp for light because it was just too dark to see the menu from my perspective. It looks like great lighting in the pictures because the phone took it in night mode and corrected the lighting but... it's a bit dark and I saw that they do have those modern battery table lamps so I think every table against the wall should have it. Now onto why it's only 4 stars. The service was so beyond incredibly slow. I kid you not we waited 35min at least before our first dish was served and it wasn't even the appetizer, it was the entree rib pasta. You could tell just how short staffed they were and you could hear that there's only 1 sushi chef 1 regular chef and that's it for the kitchen. I don't know who is managing the shift schedule, maybe it's because we came on Memorial Day, but this type of service is not acceptable. I don't take this on the employees at all. They were so incredibly nice and apologetic and doing the best they can and even the front of house was now bussing tables to help out!!! Because they're so busy, I had to keep reminding different waiters for small things like ginger for my sushi 3x, refill on my water, and he almost said we're good to go without paying the check but we didn't even receive our cheesecake dessert yet OR paid the bill. In total it took us 2 hours from sitting down, ordering within 5min, and waiting and waiting and waiting to eat... inexcusable on management
