Yesterday 20180803 my boyfriend and I had LI’S CHINA GRILL for dinner. It was our first time having food at this place and we had such a great time there.Li’s China Grill is a Chinese Style BBQ place. It’s located on Kingsway downtown side. The restaurant is very small. There are 5 big squared 4 people tables, 2 big circle table for six people families plus 4 small for couples. Inside the restaurant, a couple of Chinese decoration is on the wall. We arrived at the restaurant around 5:30 pm when it just opened. The restaurant has become busy. We had to sit down into the six people’s table to share space with others. This place was very unorganized. The customers who ordered food to go, sit down at normal people’s place to wait. It made other customers who were eating in, had no place to sit. They had to wait for those takeout people done. Then, they could get a table. Besides that, they only had one server bring Ipad to take an order for each table. It was very slow if the customers wanna know more about the dish. Also, other servers just stood there, looked at them, did nothing with other tables. It was a very bad customer service.After waited for a while, we began to order our food. We had BBQ Lamb Skewers, Northeast Style vegetable salad, Beef tendons, chicken hearts, honey garlic chicken wings, whole eggplant, Enoki Mushroom, and Grill fresh Oyster.Our food came out of the kitchen fast. All the bbq meat were well cook and well seasoned. The taste of the food was awesome. They were very authentic. Northeast Style Vegetable salad was my favorite. It’s in the large portion. The combination of peanut butter with vinegar were great. If they can put more vegetable (cucumbers) and meat (like chicken) on the top. It will be perfect. The whole eggplant was well seasoned with their special sauces. It was awesome. The Grill fresh Oysters were very fresh and big, with the Garlic sauces on were very delicious. Comparing with another Chinese BBQ place down the street, Happy Tree House BBQ, I believe Li’s China Grill is better. Also, the price of the food was cheaper than another too.We were very happy about the food. It was awesome. We will definitely go back to this place to try more stuffs. Highly Recommend people to go to this place earlier when it just open or before it open. Since the restaurant has limited space inside, if you are late, you will have to stay outside to wait. Then, you will wait for your food inside as well. The most popular dish in this place is Grill Fish. It will takes more than 1 hour wait if you are coming late. food.belindajin.com
came here during weekdays dinner, definitely must have reservation if not it’ll be packed, and ordered a couple items, each dish were.. quite good actually, despite the rating i think it’s worth dropping and try it for yourself, and definitely recommend the fish, the spices and the texture of the fist is definitely likable at the very least. it’s like deep fried but at the same time there’s a layer of ungodly inhumane goodness of fish fat. not sure how they made it that way but it’s definitely one of the memorable dishes i’ve had in vancouver and the other dishes that i’ve tried i think it’s definitely good for me as well. the skewer is good as well meat was tender and juicy mangkr.wordpress.com
much better service since they renovatedgreat food as usuali recommend making reservations even if it’s a weekdaythe interior is much more modern since renovatedgood price/ sharing dishes / best to go with minimum 4 people so you can try varieties of dishesIf I had to choose 1 dish : their fish hotpot (lingcod) in spicy chinese sauce, add black fungus, luncheon meat , quail eggwould i go back ? Definitely
Went couple times with coworkers for their famous grilled whole fish. My personal favourite is the rock fish, as the texture of the fish is stiffer and chunkier, easy to split among friends but harder to suck in the flavours. I like the idea that there are 4 different types of fishes people can choose from and every type of fish does have different features. For ex Cat fish is soft and tender but too soft to my like. Everyone seems to have different favourites. Another thing to note though is that the waitress will always ask u to order couple cold dishes as it will take some time to grill the fish. It’s just a way they sell their cold dishes. Last time our grilled fish actually came before all our cold dishes 😛 that been said, their cold dishes aren’t bad at all. Anyhow, this is a great place for flavourful grilled fish. And good value if shared among friends. Addictive too …. I am officially hooked … Highly recommend this nice little restaurant
Extremely push servers that really upsell the food!!. Dined out at Li’s China Grill on Saturday evening with a couple of friends and we have reserved for a table for 4 in advance. Waitress came to take our orders and we wanted the house special baked fish (). Our table wants a smaller fish (around 2lb) since we are ordering around $25- $30 worth of other food (ie: skewers, bbq and appetizers), but the waitress insisted that all smaller fishes were sold out, and all fishes currently served weigh up to 4lb. First of all, our reservation is at 6pm and the restaurant opens at 5:30 (no lunch service). There was only 2 other tables dining when we sat down, so it doesnt make sense that smaller fishes were sold out. Anyways, we proceed to order a 4lb rock cod. Furthermore, we were forced to order vegetables to be served with the fish. I have visited this restaurant 3 times previous to this visit and never had to order any vegetables along with the fish. I believe you can pay around $6 for 3 types of veggies but we only selected lotus roots to be cooked with the fish ( and was charged around $3.50). The lotus root portion was ridiculously small, there were only a few slices of lotus roots that came with the fish. In addition, the rock cod approximate to a 3lb fish rather than a 4lb, this restaurant should really weigh their fish in front of their customer as this restaurant generally displays a culture of dishonesty and extreme aggressiveness. I would not recommend coming here as there are many places that serve the baked fish and bbq skewers!! Try at your own risk!
Slow service and rude attitude. They only have only 2-3 waiters/waitresses with bad attitudes and barely enough hands to get customers a table or takeout service.
