Took a road trip from New York with my husband to visit Maine and was craving Chinese food. Took a 30 minute drive to this place from where we were staying and it was worth it. The food was absolutely delicious! The waiter was very friendly and the relaxing music set the mood. read more

Best Chinese by far in L/A. Only place you leave regret free. Fresh ingredients. No greasy aftertaste. Always busy but always friendly staff and consistent quality. read more

Consistently delicious!! The food is freshly prepared and wonderful, including the sushi. We have eaten here at least 25 times and have never been disappointed. The atmosphere lacks a bit (clean and pleasant but not impressive ... it's in a strip mall after all) but the quality of the food and the friendliness of the family who owns this restaurant make Wei Li well worth seeking out. We drive by a ton of restaurants to get to Wei Li and it's always worth the trip. Delicious, fresh food in a very friendly, happy atmosphere. Perfect! read more

Horrible. The "Amazing Bean Curd" did inspire wonder: I wonder how anyone could eat this. Not spicy hot as labeled, it was saccharine. My dining partner could not stomach for than a bite or two. My Lo Mein was almost entirely noodle, almost free of cabbage and the spare selection of vegetables. The noodles seemed stale. The brown sauce lacked flavor. I cannot recall a worse rendering of this staple dish. The spring rolls, also lacked flavor, and featured an absurd proportion of wrapper to filling. How this place won an award, I can't imagine. Even in Lewiston you can surely do better. read more

Delicious msg free healthy Chinese food. Good quality food. Though, a bit more pricey than other Chinese places. Imo, worth the price to not have an msg migraine. Ordered a bento box. Love that there are choices for it so you can choose lower carb items, nonfried items....healthy options. Everything was fresh, nongreasy...even if the item was fried. Feels like a family run restaurant where they care about the service provided. Recommend to anyone who wants a nice dinner out for some Chinese. They also have a sushi bar, though we didn't partake in sushi during this visit. Others in the restaurant did and the sushi looked great. read more

They've recently expanded the place and it is gorgeous. I'm not sure if it's possible but their food seems to get better every time I come here. read more

What? I'm writing this review primarily to combat the only other review here. But the 5 stars I give is justified. This is the best Chinese in town. They've changed their food a little since 2007, maybe that is part of it. But if you want things spicier than they come just ask for it on a 1-5 level. I can handle spiciness very well and like my food very spicy, and when I order a 5-level general chicken, it certainly meets my desires. The dinner boxes are great options and usually what I get. I generally get chicken dishes and all those are spectacular. read more

I'm not from this area and I have experienced good Chinese food in many different places and I can easily say this is among the best I've had anywhere. And the service may be better than the food! Great experience all around. read more

Poor delivery, and the food was not good either. The delivery guy got lost, and then when he finally got here he complained about how "this puts a crimp in his delivery route", but he didn't care to apologize to the customer standing right in front of him. The food was cold because he took so long getting here, but worse than that it just didn't have much flavor. The egg rolls were bland and had way too much dough. Fried rice and lo mein were both pretty bland. It generally doesn't take much for Chinese food to please us, but both my wife and I agreed this was no good. I've never been in the actual restaurant, but from this experience with their delivery food I won't bother stopping by. read more

Since moving to Rhode Island, this is the type of stuff my dreams are made of. Next time I make the drive home I am going to park my butt and Wei-Li well before I say hello to my parents. I've never eaten anything from there that isn't delicious! I love that they do not use any MSG and how everything is so fresh. Next time I go up the 95N you'll know where to find me. read more

My husband and I went to lunch here Saturday (1-18-2014). I got the combo of Chicken chow mien with fried rice and an egg roll. My food arrived just about cold like it had been sitting out on the counter too long. It also had the flavor of leftovers in lieu of freshly cooked food. I could not eat it. Waiter was not very attentive and when he did finally come to ask how everything was I had lost my appetite. My husbands entree was mediocre as well. Very very disappointing.I will not be returning. read more

The "lunch box" portions were quite small, although the dish was quite nice to look at. Supposedly this restaurant has won awards but I think that Chopsticks in Lewiston is much much better, with larger portions. It seems to me that Wei Li spends more time on the appearance of their restaurant, and as a result- the flavor of their food is quite lacking. I went there with my parents, and my mother had such a difficult time with the Sesame chicken (very tough)- that she had to go to the restroom a couple of times to better secure her dentures with denture cream. This made for a pretty uncomfortable and disappointing experience for all. I have had MUCH better sweet and sour chicken elsewhere, the pork fried rice is very plain (try to avoid it), and as mentioned earlier- the portions leave a lot to be desired.. we were still hungry when we left. read more

Ordered takeout here while in town for Christmas Eve for about a dozen people. Called several hours in advance for pickup time and confirmed that it wouldn't be a problem. Arrived 5 minutes early to pick up, and only after paying (and leaving a tip, Christmas and all) do they cryptically "check on the food" by calling over an intercom that a specific order number had arrived. I assumed this was for the kitchen to bring out my order, but then nothing came out, and I watched them do this to several more people who came in after me. As the minutes ticked by, I realized they hadn't even started on the large order. This become more evident as the dozen or so people waiting in the lobby started discussing among themselves when each had ordered and how long they had been waiting, etc.. My pick up time came and went. Then another 5 minutes, then 10, then 20, then 30... All while watching people that had ordered hours after me get their food, only because they showed up in person and paid first. This restaurant is apparently so afraid of getting a no-show order that they were only starting to make the food once people showed up and paid. Ridiculous. Especially considering that even if someone bailed, they had dozens of other customers likely ordering the same things behind them and the food wouldn't go to waste. The worst part was I had ordered food from another restaurant that was already sitting in my car getting cold (that restaurant had actually come through and had food ready at the proper pick up time). Steer clear. I had a dozen upset but luckily understanding people waiting 45 minutes past when we had been told. Of course this story was relayed to all of those people so they knew who was at fault, and again here to hopefully dozens more who will think twice about ordering from these guys in the future, especially for an event or large order. Shame on you, Cam. This isn't how you run a business. read more

Prices seem a bit arbitrary. I ordered a 4.95 meal, yet the delivery guy charges 9.00 almost double! Other than that the food is decent, definitely not (authentic) read more

We loved the service & the food! Even though it is not near to where we live, we would travel just to eat here. While not THE best chinese I have eaten, it is the best in Maine so far. read more

I have been to Wei-Li many times and will continue to go there. I think it is the best Chines Food place there is. They do not us MSG, the food is healthier, they have a clean building, a clean kitchen, and great service. read more

I have been searching for good Asian cuisine since moving here from Connecticut. Thank you Wei-Li! Great food. I have never been disappointed here. read more

Meh. Certainly nothing special, for take-out at least. We picked up a decent assortment of apps, proteins and sides for a group of six. I guess the common thread with everything was its blandness, even the General's chicken tat was ordered HOT. There are plenty if other choices out there that are a lot more convenient to get in and out of. read more

What a great place to just go and have some nice relaxing food. Here you will get what you pay for, yes Wei-Le is a bit expensive but for good fresh food, you have I pay. Overall This is a great place to go. The sushi is great and that's what counts to me. This is the first place I ever had sushi so of you don't like it don't go here. The building is nice and the staff is very nice. Overall I give it a 4 star, because I have never had REAL 5 star food before. So this is as close I as think I can get. read more

Ok I'm going to bite my tongue and keep my opinion to myself regarding the food here, as I'm from Boston and have eaten at a million Chinese restaurants there, all better than here. But,if this is what the locals consider good, so be it. That said, i have also had Mai Tai's everywhere, and these are the ABSOLUTE WORST! There was so much syrup or sugar in mine it belonged more on a pancake than in a beverage glass....lastly, the decor is about as cozy as a car factory......pass on this place folks read more

A friend an I was there for lunch today and let me tell yah everything was delicious ! We ea. had a poopoo for one EACH and it was really good so if your in doubt or alittle bit of everything and LIKE US you'll find approval is really good ! Thank you very much for a delicious meal !

Also writing this review because of the absurdity of the first comment (maybe the experience was different 4 years ago?) I never thought about going to Wei-Li because the commercials on tv seemed a little too awkward (if you've seen them, you probably know what I mean) and didn't know anyone that went there. However, after going one night with my boyfriend, I was very pleased. You can order pretty much any dish with a spiciness level from 1-5. Boyfriend was very pleased with his lvl 5 shrimp entree (the waiter had asked 2 or 3 times if he was sure he wanted it that spicy before ordering). I ordered a simple lvl 2 General Chicken, which I was also happy with. The biggest Pro is: I'm pretty sure they make most, if not all of their dishes to order. This experience was the first time I've gone out to eat after a new diet, which included no foods with Vitamin K (leafy greens) because of a medication I had just started. I told the waiter this and he made sure there were no scallions or anything else that contained Vit K (normally I'd love it). I honestly want to give them 5 stars just because of how amazing it is for a place to accommodate such a strange request. The biggest Con is: The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the service, which was a litter slower than normal to begin with. Other than that, it was a great meal and would love to go here again. read more

I had sushi, which was fairly good. I enjoyed the caterpillar roll, and some basic nigiri sushi (salmon, tuna, & yellow tail). My fellow diner had sweet & sour chicken (a combo), and the portions were great. The food was excellent. We were stuffed. read more

Wonderful staff and the food is always delicious! My favorite place for Chinese hands down!!

Weird menu layout. No whole spare ribs, no chow fun, dumplings far too small, and Wei too expensive!!! But if you're rich, they're pretty good. read more

4 of us ordered foods, all mediocre, have had a lot better for at least 1/2 the price...$16.59 for General Tso's chicken?? Crab Rangoon seems like it was trouble for them to fold pretty..The best thing was the Resin Buddha statue at the entrance, after that...it was down-hill...Never see me there again!..Back to Sabattus Street in Lewiston..New Mandarin Cafe!... read more

Got stabbed here. Foods ok but got stabbed here by the little girl on the sign She looks cute but don't talk to her she is like a little mini ninja There cookie told me I was gonna get stabbed but I did so that a good thing There cookies are spot on Would recommend if u feel like *getting stabbed *getting true cookie notes *possibly dying Good day to u all read more

Gone downhill. Struggling with recent competition. They respond by cutting corners and portions and raising prices. Steer clear and especially don't rely on them for catering / large orders. read more

Wonderful atmosphere. The duck sauce in this restaurant is better than anything I've ever had. Box lunches and dinners are so much fun and absolutely delicious. Owners are gracious and friendly and appreciative. read more

I personal have known the owner for over a decade and this has been his life's work to be the absolute top Chinese restaurant in the area and he has achieved this for years with Wei Li! Fresh ingredients- new sushi bar. Sometimes you can see staff making th crab rangoon by hand! thats fresh as it gets- no frozen imitation- health menu if you are in need. Awesome menu- 10% discount for picking it up yourself. Love it all! read more

There is no better place to eat in the greater L/A area for Chinese food than Wei Li. I have never EVER ordered anything here that I didn't like. Wontons come complimentary within minutes of being seated, the servers are absoultely wonderful, and you never have to ask for a water refill. My fiance generally orders sushi, which is always good (even I like it, and that says a lot). I usually get a box dinner of choices. My only request would be to change some of the side options in the box dinner because two out of three are dumplings (smaller variety)...although i've never asked, they might switch something out for you. The only better chinese food i've ever had comes from a Chinese/Japanese restaurant in Bangor, ME called The Green Tea. Wei Li is GREAT! read more

I miss this place!!! I used to come here at least twice a week when I lived in auburn, ME. No place has compared even in the capital of DC. The service is amazing. The family that owns this place is not only caring about how and what their customers think but have a wonderful family that reflects upon the restaurant in an amazing way! The restaurant is extremely clean and the food can't get any better! I'm not sure if they still do the dinner boxes but when they did it was the perfect portion! read more

Great food! Full flavor and I don't feel guilty eating it, since most of the menu is quite healthy!

We LOVE Wei-Li! You can always count on fresh, delicious food and friendly service from Lily, Cam, their daughters, Lily's grandmother, and other staff. We have been there countless times and recommend Wei-Li to our friends. Very accommodating, too...we just celebrated our granddaughter's 13th birthday there. They were so kind to provide a special dessert with candle and "Happy Birthday" serendade from the staff. They go out of their way to make your experience special every time. Jan C. read more

Favorite fresh food! Great options. Lunch best time for discounts. Best Chinese food in area! Highly recommended!

I live this place. The food doesn't weigh u down like most Chinese places. The employees are always super friendly. I absolutely love the chow mein. Not slippery and slimy like other places. Just a simple broth with some crisp veggies. The spring rolls are crispy on the outside and have a nice flavor. It's by far the best around these parts! read more

I think I just paid for 12.00 of broccoli. This is the second time we have tried the take out and both times have been awful. The first time was the dinner box offerings, pretty awful, cold and bland and the spring rolls was doughy. Tonight we thought we would try again (2 years later, take out again) and ordered the Broccoli & Beef and the Amazing Chicken with steamed brown rice and 2 Egg Rolls. There was maybe (and I am being generous) 3 oz of beef and a whopping 4 cups of mostly raw broccoli, very little sauce and what was there was bland, bland, bland and COLD. Considering how cheap flank steak or london broil is they could have put more meat it there. Really, really disappointed. The Amazing Chicken was better for proportions but the chicken was long, stringy pieces. Why? The egg rolls were lukewarm, full of sour tasting cabbage and doughy and also COLD. I don't think these were re-fried like they should have been - someone just tossed them in the microwave. Disgusting and inedible. I have no idea why so many people like this place but it packed house tonight. What are they eating? Probably the meat we didn't get in my Beef & Broccoli!! read more

Have you ever been to the countryside in China to visit a dear friend, and then their family invites you to stay for a meal and prepares you a mind-blowing home cooked meal with fresh ingredients? If you haven't, just visit Wei-Li and you'll know what it's like. Hands down best authentic Chinese food in North America. read more

I've ordered takeout from this place a few times, and the food is definitely good. It even seems quite healthy. However, it's a little pricey and they charge an $8 delivery fee for orders under $22. It's still pretty good tho. I wish I could give it three and a half stars. read more

Wei-Li is possibly the best chinese restaurant in Maine, and one of the best I've ever eaten in anywhere. The food is always fresh and flavorful, and never mushy or overcooked. The sauces are subtle and delicious, unlike many Chinese restaurants that feature syrupy, gooey, overly-sweet or salty dishes. The staff is friendly and the wait is never too long. I'm amazed to have such a quality Chinese restaurant right in my very small community. read more
