Chef Li - San Jose

This was my first time eating here and it was absolutely delicious! They have gluten-free dishes available, just ask for GF soy sauce. We ordered the chef's special thin rice noodles, kung pao beef, and shredded pork, all of which were tasty. The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely. I will definitely be coming back to try more dishes in the future!

Extremely beautiful food and decor. Rarely do you see a small business do things as well as Chef Li's. The food has always been been prepared wonderfully and presented with such style and artistic flair.

Highlights Chef li recently remodeled. Think modern Chinese restaurant with a flower aesthetics vibe here. Seating indoors and takeout available The best part, you can purchase all the orchid/flower arrangements in the restaurant. The food also comes with floral decor. Plenty of parking in the plaza that has a market, many eateries, and dessert shops nearby Great option for vegetarians or vegans. My favorite dishes: Assorted seafood bean curd soup, lettuce wraps, honey roasted walnut prawns, dry sautéed string beans, and vegetable delight Dessert menu is impressive for a Chinese restaurant with options that include nicely present gelato, cheesecake, panna cotta, to name a few. My go to is just basic fried bananas with their green tea ice cream. Tip Take out is just as good as eating in. Know what you want and be ready when on the phone. No frills, efficient, and a staple for Chinese food.

My friend and I were greeted first, not just my friend. The waiter suggested dishes for us. Each course was served one at a time, and the temperature of the food was perfect. It was a pleasant experience to savor and enjoy the food without it being too hot or too cold. I believe you will also appreciate the experience.

This restaurant is truly exceptional. The dining area is a wonderful, peaceful setting. The staff is friendly and the food is fantastic. You'll get generous portions at a fantastic price.
