" Having lived in Chinatown for several years, Hop Li has always been a top choice for both takeout and dining in! The classic dishes they serve resonate well with my family’s preferences. The orange chicken was full of welcoming flavors, and the portions have always been generous. The only reason I didn’t give a full five stars is due to their occasionally slow service during peak hours, but the friendly staff certainly makes gesture to apologize for the wait. Strongly recommended for anyone hunting for quality Chinese meals on a budget! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Hop Li for the first time last weekend, and I was ecstatic about how delicious the food turned out to be! Each dish was vibrant and well-balanced, especially the shrimp with sweet and sour sauce. The restaurant had a warm atmosphere which made it feel like home. The only things that could use improvement are the parking situation and some of the servers seemed a bit overwhelmed. However, the genuine flavors definitely won me over. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've tried Hop Li Seafood Restaurant multiple times over the years, but I have to admit that my last visit fell short of my expectations. While the honey pepper fish was still spot-on and delicious, some dishes felt a bit more Americanized than before. I remember the Kung Pao chicken having a unique zing to it, but this time it was mild. The ambiance remains charming, capturing the essence of Chinatown, but the service didn't meet the usual standards during my visit, as we faced delays and a lack of attention from staff. I still appreciate the restaurant's history and dedication to providing good portions, but I'm hoping they maintain their authentic touch. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having just moved to Chinatown, I was on the lookout for a go-to eatery and decided to try Hop Li after hearing about its famous honey pepper fish—what a delight it was! The combination of flavors is simply mouthwatering. My friends and I ordered multiple dishes to share, and while the food came out fast, the server was a bit distant and seemed rushed. Regardless, the see-through lobster tank was a hit for all of us and added an authentic touch to the visit. Even if the service could improve, the diner's familiarity with traditional cuisines makes it a must-try in my eyes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a fantastic meal at Hop Li! My friends and I stumbled upon this restaurant and we're so glad we did! The food was packed with authentic flavors and made quickly. We tried the crispy noodle chow mein and salt & pepper crab, and I've to say that it’s some of the best I’ve had in the city. We didn’t have any problems with the service; our waiter was attentive and polite. The ambiance felt alive and vibrant, making our dining experience quite enjoyable. Definitely a place I’ll return to when I crave Chinese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a great dinner experience! I decided to take my family out for dinner tonight at Hop Li, and they did not disappoint! The restaurant offered a warm and welcoming environment, and I loved how everything was served quickly and hot. We ordered a wide array of dishes, from the soy sauce chicken wings to the sweet and sour pork. I highly recommend getting the lobster if you visit—it's fresh and absolutely delicious! The prices were quite reasonable given the quality of ingredients. Staff was friendly, but they did seem a little stretched. Definitely worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Hop Li was a mixed bag, I was excited because I had heard it was authentic, and the food didn’t disappoint—it was delicious and reminiscent of my childhood. The sweet and sour pork was especially tasty, although I felt that the portions could have been slightly larger. The atmosphere was welcoming too, but I found the service lacking; the waitstaff seemed disoriented and inattentive. I had a pleasant meal overall despite the service issues and will consider returning. " (*Curated Review*)
