Li's Garden - Longwood

We came based on the reviews. Big mistake. We arrived at 600 placed out orders and didn't grt them til 730! We weren't the only people waiting either. There were a few people complaining. Turns out everyone else was waiting a long time also. We asked how much longer it would be and they said it was being packed up. After all that time the food was just OK. Also they have their two minor children not teenagers)taking orders , answering phones and running the register. That's not right at all. Stay away!

I love Li's Garden! They are hands down the best Chinese Restaurant in Central Florida. I have been eating here regularly since 2016 and they rarely disappoint. Although you can dine-in, I usually prefer take out. Most people seem to feel the same. Anything from the Sweet Sour Chicken/Pork, Fried Dumplings, Beef Teriyaki, Lo Mein, is always amazing. It's a family owned business and they all know me and my order by heart. They care a lot about their customers and it shows in the quality and quanity of their food. Any time there has been a mistake with my order they are overly apologetic and do whatever possible to make it right. On the weekends you may have to wait longer than quoted for your order but that's my only complaint and even that, is mild. I miss when they had their on delivery guy as that was super convenient.

This is hands down the worst Chinese food I’ve had in this area. Small portions, overcooked chicken, rice tastes like grease, and the fortune cookies taste like wet cardboard. Save your money and eat somewhere else!

We had garlic shrimp and curry shrimp. Great taste and value. I would warn that the garlic shrimp which is marked spicy in the menu actually is spicy! I've eaten that dish all over town and it's never spicy. The service was very friendly as well.

8/13/2022: Picked up the Garlic Eggplant with an extra side of rice (very necessary-maybe get 2 smalls or a large order of rice, unless you have Asian rice at home! . Excellent as always! These guys are always busy, so don’t assume it’ll be a fast pick up. Give yourself plenty of time for them to prepare the food, and once you’re there, it’s not uncommon to have to wait a bit to complete your transaction as the order taker is just as busy processing all the pick ups. Love this dish, I should try something new, but dang it’s good! 6/23/2022: Got through UberEats delivery. Portions are great, though as I am a fan of white rice, I don’t think there is enough to accompany the entrees, it should be double the amount at least, so I would order another container as it’s a small box that comes with an entree. Once again, would recommend the eggplant in garlic sauce (so yummy! . Would get the beef chow fun flat noodles again as well, they were good. Wouldn’t order the chicken fried rice (a bit dry, not flavored much, I prefer the plain white rice over this , krab Rangoon (no krab flavor or texture, and wontons aren’t the best , or the Donut-fried bread (they were good, but best fresh, which is hard to keep again. I would like to try their other dishes, but definitely keeping eggplant dish as a staple! First review in October 2021: A friend sent me take out from here, chicken fried rice, eggplant, lo mein noodles and orange chicken. Portion size was decent, I would recommend the sautéed eggplant over everything else, and the item I would order again with white rice. Was craving it today, sad they are closed on Mondays!
