    Beef is overcooked, no flavor. Noodles and soup broth ate good. Needs more noodles
    Raquel F.

    Lychee Kitchen does a lot of things well! First, the service is great. Staff is ready to help, responsive, attentive, and quick. The restaurant is clean and and tidy. Food comes really quickly and is very hot like it just came off the wok. While there are some Chinese style take out dishes that are very good, I wouldn't say that across the board with every dish. I think some dishes are better than other so it's worth trying from their expansive menu. A lot of their dishes use a brown sauce so you'll find it in a lot of gravy heavy dishes like stir fry. The only downside is that the sauce is very sweet, like almost distractingly sweet. I mitigate this by simply asking for less sauce when I order. They started offering some Taiwanese style dishes so if that's something that interest you, ask the server. One of my personal favorite dishes is the bbq pork fried rice. It's nothing special. It's simple but they get it right, which not all places do. Any of their choy dishes are good, lots of garlic and wok hey. I come here pretty regularly and I'm happy to.

    Sweet and sour Fish, so yummy
    John T.

    Came in for a solo lunch outing during the Super Bowl Sunday game. I've been here dozens of times and I already know the food is good. Today I ordered the sweet and sour fish with a non alcoholic ginger beer. Food was exceptional like always. Service was prompt and very accommodating. The good thing is I was watching the game on their big screen and it was awesome. Very chill and cool Chinese food spot, highly recommend. If you want superb Chinese food and not just ordinary Chinese food than check this place out. Prices are very reasonable and service is very prompt and attentive.

    S28. Teriyaki Chicken Roll
    Amy R.

    Didn't know this place was here but a hidden gem for sure. We got the orange chicken with noddles and teriyaki roll. The orange chicken was good. I found the chicken a little dry but my gf loved it. The noddles were good as well. The teriyaki roll was a miss for me is was super dry but again my gf thought it was ok lol last but not least the cucumber salad. 10/ 10 we will be back the service was 10/10 soooooo nice and very attentive! It's small in the restaurant but they make it work. It was super busy but they didn't rush you out. Highly recommend

    Orange Chicken
    Claire C.

    We ordered orange chicken, stir fried veggies, and beef chow fun. The orange chicken was very flavorful, not too sweet and with the citrus flavor, good company with rice. The stir fried veggies was good too, and of course our favorite: beef chow fun! The portion was generous and has nice wok flavor. Good choice for Chinese takeout when you are craving Chinese food.

    Crispy Honey Chicken
    Christine N.

    Fantastic place for Chinese fare and especially, if you have a larger group. They were able to accommodate 12 of us to celebrate a birthday and let us bring in our own cake. The service was very friendly and stayed on top of our needs. It's family style dishes so be prepared to share. Some of my favorites from the day were the salt and pepper squid, the honey walnut shrimp, and the salt and pepper fish. But, their honey chicken was crispy and sweet too. Deviously a great place to check out.

    Still one of the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Making really great food and fast. The service is really great and friendly. I had the Beef Chow Fun with vegetable egg rolls and ice cream milk tea which is probably one of my favorite drinks. The restaurant tonight when I went to pick up, my food was incredibly crowded, which is a good thing considering that good news travels fast about this place and it certainly for good reason this food is great. Ambience is casual yet well lit and comfortable place to eat.

    Combo fried rice
    John S.

    Good Chinese joint with great lunch specials and cheap drinks. Portions are good and service is friendly.

    Pad Thai
    Elizabeth N.

    Ventured here because family was staying close by. The staff were very friendly and attentive. It is more of a family style restaurant so would recommend ordering multiple dishes to share. We got the walnut shrimp (which was fantastic), the house fried rice, the Szechuan fish (great spice level), the "Happy Family" chefs special and the pad Thai (the flavoring could use a little work). The food came out very quickly and for the most part was delicious. Overall, great first experience!

    Wow this place is amazing. I am happy to find a good Chinese spot in the area. We ordered chicken lettuce wraps, dumplings, house fried rice, general tso chicken, beef skewers, noodles and I'm sure I missed something. Everything was so good and we went back the next day for lunch. lol. See you guys again soon!

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!

    Popped into this place for our last meal before leaving AZ and it did not disappoint! We were the…read morefirst people in. 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
