    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.

    Combo fried rice
    Sahand S.

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

    S8. Las Vegas Roll
    Nathan W.

    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.

    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!

    Everything
    Jessica W.

    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!

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!

I was dining solo and had no trouble finding a seat since there's plenty of seating throughout the restaurant. That said, I was surprised by how quickly the place started filling up after opening, which is always a good sign. One of the first things I noticed was the large sushi bar and being able to watch the sushi chefs at work. There were five of them, which I took as a sure sign this place gets busy. I ordered the spider roll, salmon avocado roll, and steamed edamame. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and exactly what I was hoping for. One unique thing about Kodo is their rice blend. They use a combination of black and white rice, which gives the sushi a distinctive purple color. It's not something you see every day, and it definitely makes their sushi stand out. I also have a food allergy, and the staff handled it carefully and without any issues. They offer fountain drinks, which I always prefer. And I liked their plastic to-go container. It kept my leftovers from getting soggy by next day. Easy five stars.

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.

It wasn't bad or inedible, but the broth was lacking that rich, deep flavor I look for in a good bowl of ramen. A little more depth and seasoning would really take it to the next level. The service was honestly one of the highlights. Our waiter was super friendly, cool, and attentive without hovering, which I always appreciate. Overall, there were definitely more hits than misses.

And the gyoza had just the right amount of kick to them. We had both the hamachi crudo and the halibut crudo. They were both delicious, but the hamachi was the standout. Hamachi is usually a little too fishy for me, but this just melted in my mouth and left me wanting more. We also had one of the specials, the 808 roll. It was topped with poke, and we would not let them take the plate until we'd scooped up every little morsel! Cocktails and service were excellent as well.

The service- pretty poor. I was sat in the bar at the back but I basically sat there for a good 5 minutes and nothing. I went back up front and asked to sit at the bar and it was still pretty inattentive, especially considering no one else was even seated in the front room at the time. Never got my water refilled, had to flag them down to put in more food, that sorta thing. The vibes- thought the bar was pretty lit and is prob pretty fun during HH. The food- overpriced for what you get and portion size while the fish and flavors being a smidge above average. I left still hungry after getting the gold omakase, bad and buri roll, and hamachi crudo. The hamachi was the best part of the meal but I'd still expect at least 5 pieces for the price. Anyways, this spot will hit the spot if you have a sushi craving. I can't vouch for the drinks but I assume it more than checks the box in that regard judging by the menu, selection, and vibe. But know that you're in for some trade offs imo.
