What our customers say

Reviews

I'm stationed at Coast Guard base down the street and a lot of people I know go here also. This is the best to-go Chinese place around with great prices and portions.
Levi Kyzer
The food was good, hot, and fresh. The best Chinese food I had in a very long time and I was very pleased with their outstanding customer service.
Molly S.
Our first time trying China Li and it was amazing! Everything from the sauce, to the meat, and vegetables were cooked perfectly! This will be our new go-to Chinese spot!
Murphy Rudy
