" I was pleasantly surprised by my meal at Ying Li. It was my first visit and certainly won't be my last. From the fried rice to the kung pao chicken, everything was on point. The flavors were robust and rich, a marked contrast to other places I’ve tried. I do wish they had more vegetarian options but what I had was satisfying. The service staff were cheerful, adding to the wonderful experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Ying Li for the first time last week and I was truly impressed! The walnut shrimp was perfectly cooked — crispy and delicious. The portion sizes are very generous, almost enough to share, which made it a fantastic value for the price. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, exactly what you hope for in a family-run place. I’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love dim sum, this isn’t the place to go. But for everyday Chinese dishes, this restaurant really does well! The portions are substantial and can easily satisfy my appetite. The beef with broccoli was cooked just right, and the waiter was attentive. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for reliable take-out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ying Li is a local favorite of mine! I love that the menu reflects both Chinese and Mexican influences, showcasing a unique blend. The sweet and sour chicken stood out — a perfect balance of sweetness and tangy flavor. The staff is fluent in both English and Spanish, which caters well to the community. The only concern is that the food took a little longer than expected to arrive, but I believe good things come to those who wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I walked into Ying Li, I was immediately struck by how homey the restaurant felt. The decorations gave me a cozy vibe reminiscent of family gatherings, and the service was equally warm. I opted for the fried dumplings, which were delightful, not overly greasy at all. Overall, I had a lovely dining experience, though I felt the prices were slightly higher compared to similar places. " (*Curated Review*)

Do try the fried dumplings; they are fantastic! I've never had an issue with service either, they are always prompt and friendly. This is definitely a repeat visit spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ying Li offers some of the most authentic Chinese food I've experienced outside of China! The flavors are vibrant and their preparation style shows genuine culinary expertise. I tried their sweet and sour pork and was blown away by how fresh and flavorful it was! Staff are also bilingual which made communication easier. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.
