My husband, granddaughter and I love this restaurant! We always order the green tea, garlic bok choy with rice, shrimp spring rolls, Singapore noodles, veggie, shrimp or chicken curry. Their bok choy is the best in Charlotte! Everything we've ordered for the past two+ years has always been so fresh and delicious. The service provided by Jean and Shelly is always top notch too. Their restaurant is always so clean and has a stellar sanitation grade between 100 to 98!! read more

We go here pretty regularly. The food is always freshly prepared and comes out quickly. Service is great. Highly recommended

Great food, service is on point & restaurant is super cute. Also is super clean! We will be back!!

Likely won't come again. I guess I should have gone back out when we saw no people in the place. Veggies were good, just not great. Pad Thai- my friend said it had no flavor. read more

The food was really good. I love the atmosphere in the restaurant. The place was really clean and had nice workers. Overall, it was a nice experience. I would go here again. read more

The food was very fresh, service was fast and friendly and we love a smaller, family run restaurant.

We got takeout from Li's Noodles, and it was ready right on time and delicious. The pork dumplings had a very fresh and herb-y flavor. The Basil Chicken was perfectly balanced and just the right amount of spicy. My son got the noodle bowl with pork and udon noodles and loved it. The flavors were light. Nothing was too salty or too sweet. We will definitely be back. read more

This place is a must for any fan of Asian food, or even the Asian curious! The inside is medium sized and there is good spacing between seats. It is a a very cozy step above a run-of-the-mill strip mall takeout place. The food was incredible- the vegetables were soft but still had bite and the meat was seared to a beautiful color while still tender. The noodles were also cooked to a perfection and were not stuck together or greasy as rice noodles sometimes are. Staff were very polite and respectful. read more

I stumbled on this restaurant with my mom when we were starving and looking for something casual. Overall, really good experience that I would definitely come back to try more things. We started with the steamed pork dumplings. The pork filling was VERY good and well seasoned. The noodle wrapper was a bit more Al dente than I like on a dumpling, but overall would get them again. We got the lettuce wraps as well which were PACKED with filling, would like a bit more lettuce to finish them all. They were delicious and fresh tasting. My mom got the sesame chicken with fried rice. Very good, fried rice was light and crispy bits like I love. I got the curry udon, which was my least favorite. I love udon and curry, but this was just a bit off for me, I would not get that again. Will definitely be returning to try out some other entrees! Recommend if your in the area, they do a very busy take out business, so it can be a bit slow at times if they are backed up with orders. read more

Damn tasty Dan Dan noodles! Perfectly spiced and tasty. Current pricing doesn't match any of the pics on Yelp, but I get it that food costs have risen and it is what it is. I just started working in the area and I have found some decent bites, but this may be one of my favorites for a quick to go lunch so far. I was expecting an amazing deal at about $8.95 a plate like most of the menu pics said, but it was something more like $12.50 out the door. Not a "cheap lunch", but about what I should expect for this side of town. That said, these were some of the better Asian noodles I've had in Charlotte. It had a bite, one that I know my spice loving friends would like to try, who knows, they may even ask for extra spicy. I can't wait to take some other people there though, so I can try some bites of their food too. Just go, I can't really expand on it more than I did as of yet, but I'll be back again and again and hopefully will write some more reviews on the place. read more

They've really expanded their menu since the early days, not sure it's the same owner but the cuisine is tasty ..... and hot! http://www.lisnoodlesasiankitchen.com/order We had the Gui Lin Mai Fun, I didn't realize it's kind of a soup but it was delish, the braised beef had a lot of flavor, it was prepared with peanuts, baby bok choy, tons of chili and more. Warning: don't eat the red chili peppers the dish is already medium hot as is. The La Zi Ji Ding stir fry chicken in schzuan sauce was also very tasty -although it could have used a bit more sauce- tasty and hot! Considering the quality and quantity I found prices to be moderate. Another convenience is that they don't close between lunch and dinner read more

Hands down, best Chinese food in Charlotte area and possibly anywhere in the country. We drive clear across town and pass many other places to eat at Li's. It's like having homecooking compared to fast food. read more

My friend and I came to Li's on a Tuesday night the day after Christmas. The interior is very clean and inviting. The host was welcoming and recommended several dishes on the menu. We ordered the chicken fried rice and the Singapore noodles. Both dishes were full of flavor and a large portion. I ordered mine 3 out of 5 on the spicy scale and it was spot on. I don't live in the area but will absolutely return on visits back to the area! read more

Clean, cute, and definitely coming back. Delicious, fresh, affordable. One of the best places I've been recently. Can't wait to come back and try a different version of noodle bowl. Theres parking, even though it is in a small parking lot. It's an intimate place, and I love that. Nice for a meet-cute, friends get together. It has space for lathe groups although I'd call first, like I mentioned the space is limited and small. You can spend about $15 with tip here and be satisfied. They also offer lunch specials. The picture speak for themselves. My colleagues all loved it, I actually learned about it through another coworker who loves this restaurant, it's one of her favorites and I can see why. The service was quick and even though there was a mix up, they remade the dish super quick and it was so delicious. I had the glass noodle (made of potatoes starch) with pork and it was so fresh and juicy and the sauce was fantastic and I just loved it and I want more! Definitely go here if you are a noodle fan like me. read more

Delicious and hidden! We were in the area and decided to come here. They weren't busy at all and the restaurant is small. They don't have a lot of tables. The staff is friendly too! We started off with the steamed dumplings. They were good and cooked just right. I got the byob udon noodles and it was a good amount. I asked for it to be spicy and they put fresh peppers in it and it definitely gave it a kick. My husband got the ramen and he loved it! I would definitely come back if I was in the area again! read more

The Pho is supremely good and flavorful. I enjoyed the crisp fresh veggies while the broth was comforting. The fried rice and rice bowl was very well balanced and not "gummy". A must for Pho lovers read more

Really enjoyed our meal here. Fast and great service, super nice owner. Wife (born in China) and I were in town from Jersey, where we have access to a ton of great, authentic, Chinese food. We were on a mission to find great tasting, authentic Chinese food in NC and we found it! Pork belly stir fry - full of flavor and had a lot of heat. Tasted great. Perfectly cooked pork and veggies were super tasty and I'm not a veggie guy. Eggplant, salted fish, and chicken in clay pot - so light yet so tasty. Another one with a lot of spice but was so good. Scallion pancake - super soft and stretchy, just the way I like it, not dried out and hard. Beef chow ho fun - beef was cooked amazingly, so tender. Full of flavor. Fried pork dumplings - ok. That was the only thing that wasn't 5 stars. read more

We found this place when we had to stay the night in Matthews/Charlotte and there weren't a lot of places open. We called and placed an order over the phone and I almost wish we had gone in beforehand but that wasn't really an option. When we got there they could answer all of our questions about the authentic dishes on the menu. I didn't know what a lot of them were so I didn't order any. I would love to go back and try some of them though. What we got was really good. They were out of rice!! But the lo mein was delicious!! And the scallion pancakes were really good read more

Came here with my dad as he's been here before but ordered dishes family style. This time we tried the noodles I got the wonton noodle soup and it was okay the wontons were pretty good but nothing special there was shrimp and pork in them (yum) the flavor was good, but the noodles were okay mine were said to be egg noodles but the texture was okay i personally wasn't a fan as there was no chew and the noodle nearly broke once it hit my mouth. My dad got the wheat noodles which had a bit more chew in them, but overall both of our noodles were a bit bland, but I can't say i didn't enjoy it because it felt like very healthy as both our broths were clear and light and i feel refreshed after eating it. The portion size was good as I felt super full and had like half a bowl of noodles left, but the noodle to soup and everything else ration was not the best. The ambiance was nice as it felt super clean and calm and a good place to eat for sure with a nice boba shop right next to it for drinks after . My dad hyped the dishes up so maybe that might be the move for next time or the like ramen i see from the other reviews. Overall, I would come back, but probably wouldn't order the same thing. read more

The people here are friendly and the service is great. The restaurant is small, but quaint. It's usually not very busy, so there is hardly ever a wait. I have also ordered take-out and it is done quickly and comes out fresh. I have ordered a lot of items on the menu to try. My favorite items are the scallion pancake, steamed dumplings, and the custard buns. The scallion pancake has tons of delicious layers and I always order hoisin sauce vs the sauce that it comes with because I prefer a sweeter taste rather than salty. Make sure you always save room for the buns. They are out of this world, especially when hot. I would say, despite the name, it's not my favorite place to eat noodles or any of the Thai dishes. read more

Super authentic, incredibly fresh ingredients, overall perfect Chinese restaurant. We came here on vacation from NJ with 2 toddlers. Specifically seeking out whether NC has authentic Chinese food so we were pretty critical. We were super impressed with the selection and overall food taste. Every dish was unique, well executed and memorable. Service was excellent and the owner even had a dish remade when our kiddos thought something was spicy, which we greatly appreciated. We loved the scallion pancakes, pan fried pork dumplings and beef ho fun noodles as kid favorites. For more traditional Chinese specialties, check out the eggplant salt fish and chicken clay pot - I could drink that gravy! Sichuan pork belly was one of the best I've ever had - ingredients popped with freshness and somehow wasn't greasy like the dish can often be. Will 100% be back!! read more

I've lived in Charlotte for over 20 years, and have always been on the hunt for amazing authentic Chinese and Asian food that compares to what you can get in NYC and San Francisco! This exceeded our expectations and the dishes we've had in those big cities. We got the General Tso's and the braised beef noodle soup! The food was made to order, super fresh, and the flavors were amazing! We are already planning our next trip back this winter! The restaurant, owned by sisters, was also extremely clean and had great service. You will not be disappointed! read more

Prices were reasonable so my husband got two dishes. It was a cold night so we ordered some soup. The miso and hot and sour soup. Hot and sour soup was the best we ever had! You can taste that it was homemade. They have make your own Noodle dishes. So I ordered the house combination ho fun. My husband got the spare ribs rice dish. You can get noodles in either broth style or stir fry style. They even have a 6.95 menu all day. You can customize it to . Food came out fast and fresh. We will definitely come back for more! read more

It was meh. The rice was not a typical fried rice. The chicken had a weird texture unlike other general so's. Nothing special or anything to rave about in regard to taste. This was a takeout order and was ready on time. read more

We got the following: - Lettuce Wraps with Chicken (strong bamboo flavor in thick brown sauce) - Steam dumplings (homemade and really delicious!) - Pad Thai (good, better with some Sriracha) - Singapore Noodles (thin noodles, like angel-hair, with a fragrant yellow curry-like sauce/coating) Good portions for the price, and we're looking forward to trying more items on the menu next time. read more

Li's Noodles is one of my go-to spots for delicious, quality comfort food. The employees at the front are always friendly and make conversation. I recommend trying their spring rolls which are crunchy on the outside and perfectly mixed cooked veggies on the inside. The egg drop soup is when you are feeling a little down and need a pick-me-up; it's a bit on the saltier side but that makes it in my opinion! And if you're ever looking for chicken fried rice that isn't too overly done, this is the spot to get it. Li's noodles has perfected their dishes and is worth every cent!! Definitely try this restaurant! read more
