" Li Wan feels like a hidden gem! It may not be fancy, but the food speaks for itself. Everything I've tried has been flavorful and fresh. The orange chicken is better than many places I've tried—it’s less greasy and always accompanied by a fresh veggie mix. The atmosphere feels family-friendly, which makes it great for casual dining. I will keep returning to savor their offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food and great value! I really like Li Wan, especially for take-out. Their portions are well-sized and always hot. One of my favorite things is their beef and broccoli; generous portions make it quite filling. The dining environment is not bad but could use some jazzing up. Definitely a good local Chinese option to get your fill! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Li Wan for a birthday dinner recently, and overall, I was quite pleased! The atmosphere was nice, cozy without being cramped. Our order of orange chicken was fantastic, not overly sweet but still delicious. The wait time wasn't too long either. I'd definitely recommend trying the dumplings as well. The only critique I have is that the music could be updated; it felt outdated. " (*Curated Review*)

" Li Wan truly excels in takeout! The food is piping hot when it arrives and tastes amazing. The chicken dishes are my favorites thanks to their generous portions. Despite receiving a wrong order once, their customer service was top-notch and they made it right instantly! The only thing that could use improvement is the décor; it feels dated. Always worth the visit for delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Li Wan has truly become our go-to place for family dinners. The shrimp fried rice here is a must-try, always fresh and bursting with flavor! The staff is friendly and attentive. They even offer complimentary hot tea while you wait, which is a nice touch. However, during our last visit, the food took a bit longer to arrive than usual, which was frustrating. Despite this, the quality of food makes it worth the wait. We keep returning because the food is authentic and tastes amazing. Highly recommend their spring rolls, they are crispy and delicious! Just be prepared for a wait during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Li Wan was decent but lacked the magic we had hoped for. The atmosphere was nice and cozy, reminding me of home. The menu had many options, but the dishes we ordered didn’t have that authentic flavor we expected. Service was polite but very slow; we waited longer than I’d like. While I wouldn’t say this place is bad, we might try somewhere new next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I used to frequent Li Wan, but our last visit was a major blow. The service felt rushed and inattentive; after waiting too long, we finally got our meal, which was cold! This was quite disappointing because we always enjoyed their offerings. We expressed our concerns to the manager, but it seems they didn't take our feedback to heart. I hope they can improve because we used to love this place! " (*Curated Review*)
