    Horrible place. No lie we ordered delivery and it arrived an hr and a half later. When we are up the block. The delivery guy was rude. We tried calling phone wouldnt ring. We got wrong soup for our orders. The food is horrible. I ordered the honey walnut shrimp. The cabbage it comes with is black with mold. Never again. Then to finish it off food is cold.

    Had the kung Pao shrimp and the shrimp fried rice. Both dishes are loaded with shrimp . The kung pao is spicy, but not to a point you can’t eat it and enjoy it, but must be honest, I need put the red hot pepper to the side. Service is fast and polite. Price is the low side of moderate.

    Terrible. I saw a 4 star rating and we were in the neighborhood so we tried it. We got taken. We walked in saw used plates on tables. The host was eating with a friend at the front table. I looked into the kitchen and it looked a mess. But we were hungry. We ordered. Yep. Small portions, soup was not hot, egg rolls were decent, main dish was overly salty. I hit the washroom before leaving....was as if they never cleaned. We got the he'll out as quickly as we could. I am posting this review as a warning to others.

    I'm from out of town and tried this place out today. It's by far my favorite Asian food spot anywhere. The food was so flavorful and fresh. Even the egg drop soup didn't need additional seasoning. It was the best I've ever had. We really loved the prices as well. They had great lunch specials even on a Sunday, and the family specials were very affordable. I'll definitely be ordering some food later this week from here. We dined in this time and really enjoyed how spaced out the tables were and how they provide hand sanitizer.

    I was looking for an escape to all the quick food places. I chose this small place and was blown away. Amazing and friendly service. The food is tasty and the egg drop soup made me so so happy. Great prices. But, the best part is the people. Forgot to take pictures because of the hunger haha.

    If you want delicious Asian food and a great price try Li's restaurant. Try the "Family p Package " $9.95 per person. We usually order take our. Today I ordered Hunan Beef with mixed vegetables and fried rice, egg drop soup with fried wonton strips, 1 chicken wing, 1 egg roll with dipping sauce and 1 fried wonton stuffed with cream cheese. Very good portions for the price. I readily recommend this restaurant!!!

    The first time I went to this place the food was watery. I asked for a box to go and the interior was completely filled with dust and black spots. The fortune cookies were stale. I ate there again yesterday for a dinner and now I’m crying in the bathroom. I feel sick. Please have fresher food and don’t have dust in your to go boxes.

    Great customer service and even better food! Probably the best local Chinese restaurant.

  • 2/5 Hispania A. 5 years ago on Google
    Prices are much higher than what's on their menu and pamphlets. Please update them. This is very misleading!

  • 5/5 Zack W. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly, one of the best (if not the best) Chinese restaurants here in El Paso. For the many years I've been going here, the food has consistently tasted amazing

  • 4/5 Jay P. 3 years ago on Google
    This review is solely based on a to-go order. The lady that took my order was nice. The inside looked calm. The food was ok. I'm going to be generous because the food was edible. It is very inexpensive. You do get what you pay for. The fried rice was really only rice and peas. It wasn't like most Chinese restaurants. However the rest of the rest of the food was decent. Where else can you get a meal for $5 especially Chinese food that had a soup, entree, and an egg roll. So for the price. It is worth it.

  • 5/5 Erica B. 2 years ago on Google
    Love Ali’s cafe. Their food is not only delicious, but you get a good amount of food. I always have extra for the next day, so I take it for lunch. They are also very affordable, especially their lunch special!

  • 5/5 Carmen A. G. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for lunch. Specials are a great price, drink, soup, eggroll and entree. Everything was fresh cooked to order. The hot and sour soup was wonderful!

    The Orange chicken was super good would get again. Rice wasn’t too good

  • 5/5 Jacqueline L. 6 months ago on Google
    My boyfriend and I always choose Li’s as our defacto Chinese food takeout place. Food is always great, service is always good, and it’s the one place I can say has NEVER gotten a to-go order wrong. I always get chicken fried rice and it’s sooooo yummy.

  • 1/5 Rudy B. 6 months ago on Google
    When you walk out of the restaurant after ordering the chef special, not the roach special. This was disgusting.

  • 3/5 Stephen J. 4 years ago on Google
    Fairly limited options for vegetarian diets. Service and kitchen are perfectly acceptable. Menus lack detail and information on ingredients. Portion sizes are fine and food was served hot. Tofu was added with little or no additional prep. Typical preparations, even in low cost / casual venues, press out excess water as well as using light amounts of cornstarch directly on the tofu to help crisp up the texture and hold more flavor. Meat dishes looked tasty, but this restaurant does a poor job with lighter cuisine.

  • 5/5 Edgar B. 4 years ago on Google
    The food is very good! If you're doubting it, just try it. You won't regret it. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have the best honey walnut shrimp in town, and the hot and sour soup is amazing!

  • 5/5 Amber W. 4 years ago on Google
    First time ordering Chinese in El Paso. Made a good choice with Li's. If you call and place the order they deliver without paying a doordash delivery fee, as Id rather tip my driver well directly. Food was really good and driver and person who took my order were very friendly and nice. Look forward to trying a few other dishes next time.

  • 5/5 Diana L. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Oliver D. 5 years ago on Google
    We made our first visit to Li's cafe yesterday to get some food to go. Everything was freshly made and the staff was very friendly. Once we got home the food was still piping hot and tasted great. Definitely will be going back again soon.
