| - I am very much in line with the 3.5 star review given by Yelp users. I have found Li Wah to be inconsistent, ranging from mediocre to good.
I recently visited Li Wah and encountered some familiar themes. For one, the service can be painstakingly slow, especially when it comes to bar service. We waited at least five minutes for our server to arrive after being seated, and once we placed our drink order, it was at least ten minutes before they arrived. Mind you, the restaurant was only one-third full. We ordered our next round well in advance to ensure it arrived in a timely fashion.
As for the food, it was surprisingly good. My group ordered the Pu Pu platter (so very adventurous of us, I know), and everything was solid. I made my Kung Po chicken a complete dinner, and the hot and sour soup was serviceable. The egg rolls were tasty, although the BBQ rib that accompanies the egg roll needed some work. The Kung Po was about right, although it was a little veggie-heavy, which I considered a cheap, cost-cutting measure. The rest of my party was satisfied with their meals, as well.
Looks like Li Wah has earned a return visit.
