    Chef Li's is a great place to go for a quick bite or even a family dinner. The place is like a typical Chinese take out restaurant with options running from roasted pig to roasted duck or soy sauce chicken and everything in between. I usually order ahead of schedule and ordering 3 entrees takes about 15 minutes, 20 at most. They are very efficient and I never get wrong orders.

    Came here for Christmas dinner, and it was lively, busy, and lines out the door. Chef Li's Cafe surprised me with what they have to offer. The front end of the restaurant/cafe/eatery is a fully loaded Chinese BBQ shop with freshly roasted duck, soy sauce chicken, duck wings, BBQ pork, Chinese fastfood for take out including chow mein, fried chicken, sweet and sour pork and more! The back-end restaurant seats a whopping 50+ with 3 large family style tables and 2-4 seat tables for smaller parties. Tables are also modular for hotpot. However, I would say their specialty truly seems to be their Chinese BBQ and Chinese food. What we ordered: Duck Wings Roast Duck 5/5 Soy Sauce Chicken 5/5 Gai-lan Walnut Shrimp Sweet and Sour Fried Pork Chops (4/5) Salt and pepper fried shrimp Lamb and Tofu stick claypot Egg drop corn soup Rice All relatively delicious and price point was great for the portion size. Fast service and great atmosphere inside. Nice spot for family meals

    Place is really good and seems to stay busy. The meats hanging when you walk in is interesting. I ordered online but I guess they don't use that anymore so I had to order again and wait. The bbq pork rice was plentiful and delicious. Could use some sauce.

    I asked a homie where I could buy a whole roast pig for an important event. The homie who understands the lingo recommended me this spot. At first I thought he was talking that hole in the wall with that step up into the kitchen with them Pokémon cards that remodeled but when he gave me the address I was amazed like what ? This store? The fire pit roast Chef definitely has a roast degree pHD as it clearly showed all the way through. I been here a couple times for the hot pot but this was my first time grabbing the bbq. This whole suckling pig so far is the best I had. Super lightly salted and the skin crispy AF! The meat was baby tender Thank you to the staff and management. This place is a one stop shop for Chinese food, bbq and hotpot
