    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
    Ernesto Jr S.

    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.

    Sushi Menu Continued

    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.

    Empty cream cheese filling in wontons

    I know times are hard but one thing I loved about Li,s Bowl are the cream cheese filling in the wontons. Unfortunately I'm disappointed. No filling. Looks like the chef wiped the back of the spoon off on all 3 packs of wontons.

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

The food is consistently outstanding, and the warm, attentive service keep us coming back time and time again. On this visit, we ordered the sautéed whole lobster with green onions and ginger, beef lo mein, shrimp lo mein, walnut shrimp, and fried rice. Every dish was prepared beautifully and packed with flavor, but the lobster was truly divine. Perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and infused with the aromatic flavors of fresh ginger and green onions, it was one of those dishes that leaves a lasting impression long after the meal is over. The beef and shrimp lo mein were equally delicious, with rich savory flavors and generous portions, while the walnut shrimp was perfectly crisp with a delicate sweetness that balanced the dish beautifully. The fried rice was the perfect complement to everything on the table. We also enjoyed a few sake bombers, which are hands down the best we've had anywhere. They are always perfectly prepared and have become a must-order whenever we visit. They pair wonderfully with the food and add an extra touch of fun to an already fantastic dining experience. What truly sets China Chili apart is its consistency. Whether it's your first visit or your hundredth, you can always count on exceptional food, attentive service, and genuine hospitality. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and always makes us feel like valued guests.

It's probably the fanciest Chinese restaurant I've been to in AZ. The lunch menu is excellent and quite impressive! There are 8 entrees to choose along with a side for only $20. What's crazy is that a full size seafood and wagyu beef belly jjampong is a side! They're regularly $24 so it's a crazy deal to get an additional entree!! We ordered seafood jjampong and wagyu beef jjampong as sides and genghis khan beef and chili garlic fried chicken as mains. The jjampong had that great umami taste without the oiliness that's unavoidable at other restaurants. The ingredients felt very premium and fresh. Ghengis khan beef pieces were very generous and tender with a savory sauce. Chili garlic chicken was a tad salty for me but had great crisp. Service was impeccable and one you'd expect from an upscale restaurant. I can't wait to go back to try other dishes from the lunch menu. I also want to try their happy hour that's available everyday from 4-7PM. All the food items are only $7 and variety looks amazing.

I ventured inside on this lovely Sunday, noting a delightfully serene dining room with only a few select patrons present. I was instantly received by a charming young woman at the counter who extended a remarkably friendly greeting. While my initial impression of the layout was conservative, the hospitality quickly evolved into something genuinely impressive. They also feature a beautifully appointed small bar that crafts cocktails, which adds a sophisticated touch. I escorted myself to an excellent table and requested a bowl of Egg Drop Soup to enjoy while engaging in a brief, lovely conversation with the attentive staff. The preparation was entirely satisfactory. While the interior architecture and decor are not quite as grand in scale as I had initially envisioned, the aesthetic is tastefully curated and not bad at all. For my main course, I selected the Mongolian Beef from the menu a splendid choice, and beautifully priced at $14.85. The gentleman assisting us throughout the afternoon was an absolute credit to the establishment, executing his duties with flawless precision. When the entrée arrived, the flavor profile and presentation left me completely satisfied. Between the exemplary service and the delicious culinary execution, it was an absolute treat.

To be clear, I am a New Yorker and know good fast Chinese food. The ambiance was promising. It looked like I was finally going to find what I've been looking for in Phoenix for years. For whatever reason, Chinese restaurants in Arizona serve egg hockey pucks and cover it with various items and call it egg foo young. I even asked about it before I ordered it. Alas when I got home and saw what I had, I was disappointed. It's faster to make it this way but the egg hockey puck had no taste - zero. They could have at least added oyster sauce, a little soy sauce, maybe nam plah, and perhaps sesame oil. It was tasteless. A complete miss. I also ordered something simple, shrimp spring rolls. They were delicious! I inhaled them and will order them again. I'd go again just for the spring rolls. Maybe they have other dishes that are good and I may not entirely give up but the egg foo young is a no go.

Gotta support local when you can I say! The menu is pretty basic and has all your typical options for Americanized Chinese food. Wanting to get something that had noodles in it, I opted for the combination #1 which has chow mein crispy noodles, pork fried rice, and two tempura shrimp. Quite a lot of food and for a very reasonable price! I think the combo was around $10. If you are a fan of bean sprouts, this is your place. The chow mein had a massive pile of beansprouts on top. The noodles were indeed crispy but they was such a meager portion compared to the beansprouts. The fried rice was pretty basic but also a generous portion and the two tempura shrimp had a nice crispy batter. I tried some of the eggroll too which is one of the most unique versions I've had since the super crispy outer layer was either a different preparation or different wrap material than I'm used to. The interior was made primarily of beansprouts too. Service was good. Our food was prepared fairly quickly.

Given the landlocked area and dearth of Asian markets, I have so much respect and awe that they dont hold back on lemongrass and all the thai spices in both of the food and cocktails. Loud, modern, and hip scene even on a Wednesday night. 45 min to 1 hour wait if you attempt walk in but we did reservations just a week prior. We opted for indoors since we visited in June heat and that was a great decision as we were sat in the back clubhouse which felt like a secret cocktail club. Btw, if you reserve indoors or outdoors, they will hold you to it. Save room for their hibiscus and lemongrass creme brûlée that has the perfect crust and smooth texture. Even if you can't take a lot of spice, they did a great job sharing what dishes would still work. Appreciated the thoughtful text ahead of time to arrive early for parking because yes, it's extremely challenging in that area even though my dad has a disabled placard. Just go here. So worth it.
