Surprisingly tender and great flavor, I was really worried after moving here that I wouldn't be able to find good quality fish, so this was very promising. I also got an order of the Takoyaki-- if you enjoy the more custardy, gooey center, these were really tasty. Not my preference, but not worth taking off a star ;) Lastly, I got the veggie tempura, and this was probably the only real letdown. The batter was pretty heavy and thick for some bites-- it was closer to a funnel cake texture and flavor than true tempura in my opinion, but it didn't taste bad, just wasn't the lighter appetizer I was hoping for. In all, I did enjoy my meal, and I look forward to exploring more of their raw bar and sushi options in the future!

We weren't asked what spice level we want and luckily I thought of it in time because it would have been way too mild for us if I hadn't. It's a bit of a pet peeve for me to not be asked what spice level I want when there are spice levels available and for it to be assumed that I want my food mild. Once I asked, the spice levels were indicated as mild, medium, spicy, extra spicy and extra-extra spicy. We tried: -Thai Curry Vegetable with Eggplant, tofu, shiitake mushroom and potato. We asked for extra spicy which was not overly spicy but had good flavor. We got chilli crisp on the side which was actually on the spicy side here. Once I added a good amount of that I got some tears. The "Thai" curry reminded me more of a Japanese Curry and not what would hit the spot for me when I want Thai curry but it was enjoyable. I wished there was more of each element in it- More tofu, more potato etc. This dish is fully vegetarian and a good vegan option. - A sweet potato tempura sushi roll with eel sauce. - A cup of Tom Yum soup. We ordered it with fried tofu instead of the shrimp, extra spicy , and it was pretty good, especially with the chilly crisp. It does have some shrimp paste here in the broth so not vegetarian. No chicken broth or beef broth otherwise, just the shrimp paste. Service was pretty good. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out!

This was my first time here and I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this place. If you are a fan of pandas, you would love the decor here because they have everything imaginable that is panda based. And every so often the musical entertainer puts on a panda mask and sings for the crowd. Tonight was not one of those nights that we got to see her wear the panda mask however she did entertain us with many classic hits from Barbra Streisand, Carole King, Liza Minnelli, and many other popular standards that you have all come to love and enjoy throughout the years. She also gave us a bonus treat in having her niece Jennifer come up and sing a couple of 70s disco hits for us. As busy as the night was the service was pretty good and we were pleased. There were 24 of us in our group and we each got waited on without most respect and happiness. I ordered the chicken lo mein and really enjoyed it. That is usually my go to for most Chinese/Asian restaurants. I will have to come in on a day off and try their lunch special because it is reasonably priced whereas the dinner prices are more. TIP: they include your gratuity (tip) in on the price of your bill so you don't have to try and figure out what to tip the wait staff. There is also a separate tip jar for the entertainer. I will be back again as I said to try the lunch special and maybe a special night out again. This was fun and a great way to and a Friday eve (Thursday).

"Li's Garden is a wonderful, simple and relaxing restaurant run by a really nice family. They have a great menu with all kinds of delicious Chinese food. They deliver quickly through Beyond Menu. The chicken and beef lo mein are amazing, and they have great chop suey, egg drop soup, and egg rolls. The fried rice is fantastic, and their special platter with shrimp, beef, and chicken is a must-try. They also have wonderful appetizers like fried chicken and egg rolls. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the people are super friendly. If they make a mistake, they fix it right away. My whole family loves Li's Garden!" read more

9/5/26 First Visit, Lunch with Neice…read more Updated 9/6/26 see Chow Mei Fun. Parking 5/5 Arrived around 12:15 pm, there was plenty of parking in a large shared lot. Atmosphere 5/5 The restaurant is part of a large strip mall near a main parking lot entrance. The storefront doesn't really provide clues about the restaurant there is zero curb appeal. Once inside you were welcomed by a clean, comfortable, multiple dining areas that are nicely decorated. Service 5/5 Niece Sandy and I were welcomed immediately and quickly seated. Our sever left us menus to review and she left with our beverage orders. Service was excellent throughout lunch service. Appetizers came out quickly and entrees were timed perfectly. Refills were tended to without asking. Our picks: Thai Tea x2 Steamed Pork Pot Stickers Chicken Egg rolls House Chow Mei Fun Korean Shin Beef Ramen Food 3/5 The food on balance was good. Thai Tea weren't traditional but nice. The Chicken egg rolls were excellent, great seasoning! The steamed pork potstickers were steamed perfectly, I wish the porks seasoning was a bit more pronounced so it wasn't lost by the wrap. The dipping sauce was ok. House Chow Mei Fun (Menu Typo) I didn't try. Sandy lefty most of it untouched. The noodles were less traditional rice vermicelli style. It was a generous portion and if I get a run on her leftovers I'll update my review. The good Sandy gifted her Chow Mein when she left this morning and I enjoyed it for lunch. I actually prefer the rice vermicelli. The flavor was spot on and very delicious. I would order this over the items we ordered and make it my go-to dish here. This allowed me to elevate my review rating from 3 to 4. Korean Shin Beef Ramen also served in a traditionally large bowl. The eggs was spot on, Seaweed was nice, I loved the leaks. The large thinly sliced beef was tender and easily enjoyed with chopsticks. The tell-tale of a great Ramen has a lot to do with its broth. More seasoning could have brought the bowls score up to 4 or 5. A great broth enhances the noodles flavor as well. $135.78 includes tip. East Valley prices, a bit short on East Valley flavor my Friends-SYOY!

You are literally the center of attention when walking to the back. The shrimp fried rice is good, I asked for water chestnuts and I guess that upset the cook because that's ALL that was in there honestly. I don't care for the shrimp egg foo young here because it's on the OUTSIDE of the foo young patty instead of INSIDE. Decent parking but it is across the street from the park the homeless people hang out at so beware of that as well I ordered again through uber eats! As you can clearly see from the walk in , shrimp is 3.00, not sure how my price jumped so high. It's like they change the price whenever they want to. I may contact the attorney general tbh
