Shrimp Rolls
Peter S.

Tai Li is always so very good. The portions are huge and it's always fresh and hot. Got some to go and as always they knocked it out of the park.

Szechuan chicken with broccoli added

Stopped in for dinner and had such a wonderful experience! We were warmly greeted and seated right away. We started with the steamed dumplings, which were absolutely delicious. The general Tso's was crispy and flavorful with a tasty sauce, and the chicken lo mein was really flavorful too. Portions were quite generous. Definitely would recommend!

Chicken w.Garlic Sauce. Tasted and smelled like fish. Straight to garbage.

Ordered on Uber Eats. The crispy honey chicken had a very strong fishy flavor and smell. I Could not eat it. Threw the entire meal away. I'm staying at a hotel and ordered a few meals to last a few days and by the time I tried the crispy chicken, it was outside the return window. Also, the meals are too expensive to not include pork fried rice or crispy noodles. I even paid extra for fried rice and requested in the notes for pork fried rice but did not receive it. The fried rice was tasteless and had a nothing in it but a couple peas and a couple pieces of carrot. The cashew chicken was okay. The wonton soup and edamame was good.

My friend and I went for dinner here after my parents recommended we went at very busy time so we did wait a while for someone to take the order and food to come out but it was worth the wait. FOOD WAS AMAZING! Space is chill, server was very polite kept apologizing for the tardiness. We will be back ! So yummy

Unagi don
Rachel S.

Tai li is an interesting restaurant with both Chinese and Japanese menu. The Japanese food seems pretty good and a decent deal. The sushi is two rolls for 10 dollars which is pretty cheap. I ordered the unagi don which was just eel on sushi rice. It was pretty good and I'd get it again. Service was excellent and the waitstaff spoke Chinese with my grandfather to ensure that he was able to order something that he liked. My grandfather seemed satisfied with his meal and really liked how our waitress made sure we were happy. Our drinks were refilled often and our food came out rapidly, though not all at the same time.

General Tso's Chicken with wonton soup

Ordered the general tsos off the lunch menu today and it was so delicious!! Such a great lunch menu, the entree came with rice, an egg roll and choice of a soup for only like $9!! We also ordered the crab puffs and they were perfectly cooked. We ordered delivery and they came so fast. Will definitely be ordering regularly from here.

I see quite a few old reviews that note bad service and off flavored food. Those seem very odd considering the experiences my wife and I have had at the new(er) location. They've merged the Tai Li from the south side of 1960 with the Fujiya ( I think that's what it was called) on the North side of 1960 with the combined restaurant called Tai Li on the north side of 1960. We've been several times and ordered the fried dumplings each time.....hot, crispy and fresh. We also get an order of egg rolls but not much to say here....they're traditional fried egg rolls. They're hot and crispy and what you would expect with respect to the flavor. For main courses, we've ordered the curry noodles, salt baked shrimp with garlic sauce, sesame chicken, mabo tofu, and Sichuan beef. All dishes have been outstanding and extremely fresh. I eat shrimp just about every time I go out and can tell when it is not fresh or has been soaked in some odd brine mixture. The restaurant is clean and we've always had good service. Are they perfect? Absolutely not. My wife is asian so I've been to a LOT of asian restaurants in Houston. Asians, no offense intended, seem to yell at one another (and maybe others) by American standards....something about the tonal nature of the language. We haven't had any of the sushi because, frankly, I have yet to find any sushi that actually has a flavor unless you load it with ginger and radish paste. Great selection of cold beers and wine as well and the price is right. There are a lot of to go orders headed out the door when we've been there. I also noted everyone that comes in is a regular and they know the names of the wait staff. That's a good sign in my opinion.

Good, local Chinese food. Always fresh and tasty. I've never dined-in, so I can't speak to that part of the experience.

Place is in a strip mall, which is neither here nor there, just mentioning it because its a busy…read morestreet and you might miss it if your arent paying attention. Inside is clean, bright and welcoming. good amount of tables for dining in. The Pho was a decent size bowl. The noodles were warm and not a clump at the bottom of the bowl, which happens a lot at Pho shops when they just throw some noodles at the bottom of the bowl and pour Pho on top of it. Very deep beef flavor which all the accompanying spices you're looking for in a good Pho/ The Banh Mi was very good as well. Bread was nice and crusty, yet soft in the middle and had ample amount of actual meet in the sandwich. If you're around the area and looking for good Pho, definitely give this place a shot, you wont be disappointed.

I love this place, it's close to home so this really is my local pho lol…read more Every time I come in here the cashiers and servers are nice. They are super quick in getting the food out to you, I'm talking about you order and by the time you choose a table to sit in they already bringing the food out to you quick lol I love the pho from this place, I'm fairly new to pho and I've visited a couple different pho places but this is my absolute favorite spot. It's very flavorful and really one of my favorite places to eat at. The restaurant is clean and is fairly quiet except for the background music they play lol They have lots of seating and it's never super packed.
