Li Yang's Chinese Restaurant

I used to love Li Yang's several years ago. They had the best sweet and sour chicken. Today I ordered lunch. I ordered from the lunch menu: entree, side, soda. The soda never came. I got chow mein.. which was pork, onions, and strips of carrots. Not impressed. The crab Rangoon was way too sweet. Li Yang's really went downhill and was a total disappointment.

The good ole days of this restaurant is in the past. It's run down nature along with its abandoned building feel will turn most people away. It's not the most welcome place and the environment is almost inhabitable. It was freezing cold inside the day I ordered and was shivering the time I left, still wearing my Columbia winter coat. So I do not recommend this place to dine in. Now the food. I ordered roast pork fried rice and Mongolian beef. The fried rice was light and airy but had a porkiness flavor to it. I cannot explain the flavor but you can definitely tell that it is pork, which sometimes is not a good thing. No roasted flavor to the pork and not seasoned very well. And overall there is no wok flavored smokiness present. It's rather bland. The Mongolian beef was the same way. Not sweet, nor smoky, not anything. Just some fried beef with veggies and a brown sauce. Something if you never had Mongolian beef before you might pass as good. But this, IMO, is not up to par. I would imagine the rest of the menu the same way. Overall this place has an identity crisis along with questionable conditions. It's one of those types of places where I wouldn't be surprised if the Feds came in and busted the owner for human trafficking. One of those places where one day will be shut down by the city for unsanitary conditions. Yeah, one of those places. So go ahead and take your chances, as for me and my palette, I'm out.

If you are looking for tasty,fresh, and quick to serve Chinese (take-away, delivery, or eat-in), this is the place. The spring rolls are flavor-full, crispy and not greasy. The egg-fu young is delish ! What's more is the delightful staff are ready to serve you with a smile.Some of the other "must haves" on the menu are : Shrimp w/ lobster sauce, and any of the many varieties of Fried Rice. Btw...I always tip when I order take-away and the staff are so very appreciative.

Ask for fried tofu to be added to your order....It's really good. Great Asian carry-out.

My sister and I ate here and we love Chinese food. We did not love this restaurant. It was not a pleasant experience. The food wasn't any good. It was close to our house so we thought we would try it out. Never again

Wow. This was, hands-down, the worst food I've ever eaten in my life! I'm pretty sure the crab Rangoon was made out of plastic, and I have no idea how you can make rice and vegetables taste that bad. Ugh.

Ummmmm when the menu says 4.99 and they say your total is 10.00?? I ask why and they say cuz tax... Okay. lol wtf.. And rude !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would not recommend this place to anyone!! We ordered from the lunch menu and got the chicken and broccoli and the garlic chicken. Both came with fried rice and soup. The "fried" rice was a joke! Tasted like it was made from a box and it was old. Both of the dishes were severely lacking flavor. We both ordered the hot and sour soup and it was a lifeless version of beef broth, no meat, no Chinese mushrooms, nothing but bamboo shoots, tofu and egg. We also got the steamed dumplings which was nothing more than a doughy mess. It had a tiny bit of mystery meat that was completely repulsive. It was like a poor man's version of dim sum. Don't even get me started on the restaurant appearance! I went to pick up the order and felt the need to sanitize after I left. The interior was filthy and grimy.

Loved the food the first time I had it but my second experience was horrible. Found 2 small bones in my orange chicken about 5 bites into eating and decided to throw the whole thing out after. The flavor and texture of the chicken seemed off as well. My friend had no issues with her lo mein however.

This place is very good for the price I pay for. The chicken is immaculate, the rice could use some work. I have to agree with some people that the egg rolls suck. The carb rangoon's are to die for. I haven't had anything else but the chicken but 4 stars.
