This restaurant was located in Saratoga for years, and later moved into Camden Park. Ambiance is elevated, upscale, but not uncomfortable--unlike any other Chinese restaurant. Clean and comfortable due to lavish orchids and recent updates. Service is super attentive. Food: Chef is always ready. My favorites are kung pao chicken, vegetarian eggrolls, won ton soup. Also, I try the new daily specials. Take vegetarian and vegan family and friends.

My first time here. People in the neighborhood had mentioned this place as good Chinese food. I had the lemon chicken my husband had some beef meal there were both excellent. We had the lung special. Came with white or fried rice egg roll and delicious soup. I love this place! Will be back.

My mom chose Chef Li for her birthday dinner and the staff and owner so kind! And they gave my mom a Chocolate bear. They put effort into their presentation. I recommend ordering egg foo young (off menu) and choose chicken as your protein. The chicken was still moist and tender (unlike some places).

Been to Chef Li's about 5 times over the course of 3 years. It's local and find myself eating more Thai than Chinese. I will say, this place totally hit the spot tonight! It isn't overly greasy/oily or salty like a majority of Chinese places I've tried. We ordered the... Mongolian beef, mom gives it 5/5. Tender, flavorful, huge portion and lots of onions which she likes. Kung pao chicken but with only zucchini and onions. It normally comes with celery, peanuts, zucchini, water chestnuts. They got my order perfectly as requested; simply onions and zucchini only with no peanuts etc. the chicken is tender as well, flavorful and again, not overly greasy! Spice was perfect more on the mild side. We also ordered the egg drop soup maybe give that 2/5. It was ok but wouldn't order again. They also sell orchids here if interested. Overall, def recommend this place!
