    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.

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.

I ordered hot sake and it did not disappoint. My daughter got a Ramune, miso soup, and shrimp tempura roll. No complaints! Miso soup was missing tofu that day. Apparently they were all out. Nevertheless the soup was very nice! I got two specialty rolls. The names escape me at the moment. The menu doesn't have a huge selection of rolls but I found what I like and both were VERY good! Good amount of fish vs rice. Everyone is very attentive. Service is very good. The ambiance is interesting :) nothing fancy but not too bland either. There are full moon/moon related decorations. The rolls are also named with the Moon theme in mind. Overall very nice and we will be back to try their ramen !

It was quiet and there was just one server taking care of the tables (Caleb). He was friendly and gave us time to catch up and look over the menu before ordering.

Nice and crispy shell and packed with veggies, and the dipping sauce was the perfect compliment. The sweet potato roll was delicious & I liked that it had some avocado and crispy crunch pieces inside. Would definitely get that again! Good hit the spot, service was good, and the restaurant was quiet and chill for us to have a nice girl's dinner to catch up!

We shifted gears and went next door to Sake Haus, and I'm so glad we did! Everything was spectacular! First of all--BEST edamame I've ever had! That tallow really adds a richness! And the gyoza had just the right amount of kick to them. We had both the hamachi crudo and the halibut crudo. They were both delicious, but the hamachi was the standout. Hamachi is usually a little too fishy for me, but this just melted in my mouth and left me wanting more. We also had one of the specials, the 808 roll. It was topped with poke, and we would not let them take the plate until we'd scooped up every little morsel! Cocktails and service were excellent as well. We definitely ended up with a pricier meal than what we'd planned next door, but it was totally worth it! I wish I'd taken pics of the beautifully plated dishes, but I was too just eating!

I wanna clarify that every time I go out I am always looking to have the best experience and leave having a better one. We were seated by some amazing host indoors, but unfortunately the inside was boring so we wanted to go outside. There wasn't a free table for us so we sat inside and ordered anyway. I ordered a drink and a couple appetizers and my friend ordered a couple appetizers. They came out separate times and we had to ask for utensils. We also had to ask for side plates and the plates that were given to us were dirty. Our water cups were also dirty so I asked for a straw so I wouldn't have to touch it with my lips. I still haven't eaten my food because I'm still waiting for my drink. When I go out to a restaurant, I do expect my drink to be delivered before my food. However, I understand things happen. I did order the frozen blood orange margarita. Since that is just a Liverpool, I would think it would've come out already. So just a few notes: *please be sure of serving items in clean dishes * please prioritize drinks before food

    We came here for restaurant week. The menu was great and delicious, perfect amount of food for me…read moreto try a bit of everything on the menu. We each did the restaurant week menu and shared. 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

    Catfished! Pictures are deceptive. This is tough...I was excited to try this place as a trusted…read morefoodie friend said the food was good. That was NOT at all my experience. I will mention the place is designed very nicely. For starters the food was bland, except the shishito peppers. The peppers were fantastic and that's the only thing I enjoyed. The ramen was second best compared to the other items. Edamame was good. The sushi roll, seaweed would not break down as I was chewing it and the roll didn't have much flavor to it. Now for the reason for the two stars...the crispy rice. The bites are soooo big I had to cut them in half in order to eat it (good thing) because when I broke the second one in half; I found a black HAIR about the same length of a finger cooked in the rise (I'm blonde by the way). I was shocked and hate complaining. I wasn't going to say anything as I lost my appetite. My friend who was dinning with me, said something politely. The waiter said okay I'll get you another one and ran away with the plate before we got a chance to said we didn't want another one. We saw him show the manager and she okayed him to make another. I was shocked the manager or waiter didn't apologize, wasn't shocked by it, acted normal like nothing was wrong. For this reason I will not be returning. Again my other friend had a great experience and I had a bad one, so 50/50 shot. I know we are human and mistakes happen. It was the way it was handled that drop the rating. Along with bland food for the price.
