This is THE BEST chinese food takeout in all of Pinelleas county hands down. FRESH QUALITY food! REAL meat, not the minced up bits and pieces you get at regular takeout places. We order from here all the time and would never go anywhere else. I very highly recommend Chef Li's as everything we have ever ordered has been exceptional.

This is the best Chinese place in town! We are always satisfied with the taste of the food and the generous portions you get. My favorite is their roast pork fried rice and their teriyaki beef sticks - so happy the beef sticks are back!!

Just left from getting my favorite szechuan sauced lunch. Their food is always fresh and made to order with lots of flavor. But I cannot speak highly enough about the owners!! They are ALWAYS very kind and welcoming. I'll continue to return and suggest others to do the same.

This is the 3rd take out from this place and kept forgetting to take pictures. The food is delicious and well balanced with flavors. On a previous order I tried their Hunan Chicken and it was fantastic. It has a subtle kick in spiciness but very good. They have a nice variety of dishes including vegetarian options like tofu. This is only a take-out place.

This was my first visit to Chef Li, and I ordered take out. Everything was fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious and we couldn’t have been more pleased. We’ve eaten a lot of Chinese food at area restaurants, and this was the best by far. We have no idea how we missed this place, because they’ve been in business here for fifteen years. Excellent!

Ordered the chicken fried rice and it was really good. Actually this is one of my favorite Chinese food spots. My daughter will only order from here. The employees are very friendly and polite. I didn’t have to wait super long to get my order to be ready. I recommend if you’re in the area to give them a try for yourself.
