Li's Chinese Takeaway in Bournemouth

Best Chinese Around 5* Used this Chinese for years now, Food is lovely, Food is always delivered very hot, good size portions. Staff are polite & delivered with a smile :-)

Highly recommend chilli beef strips, very crispy and delicious. Beef in black bean sauce also delicious Ordered in the shop

used previously was excellent...tonight...disgusting...over salty...miniscule pieces of meat and lots of burnt bits...so disappointing...won't be going back

Fantastic food, lovely family Run business

Very friendly staff. Best Chinese in Bournemouth, plenty off filling in the rice as well

Best Chinese in Bournemouth and Poole.

Amazing Chinese 😍 been coming here for years.

They really give efforts to the food! Well done 👍

First time we tried this takeaway and the food was lovely. Order arrived on time and everyone was happy! Will definately use this takeaway again.

Used to be good. Delivery this time didnt turned up late and when I enquired when it might arrive I was told "probably soon, we only have one driver". The time before the delivery was late and so the food was cold,

Tried this Chinese takeaway as our usual place was closed. Will never order from there again. Food was delivered late, we had a dish missing even though they confirmed our order and were rude and unhelpful and refused to deliver the missing dish even though they messed up the order. The food was cold and not very nice was quite slimy and tasteless.

Take away took over two hrs so rejected it when it came thank god I hadn’t payed in advance Stay well away from this place

One of the best Chinese takeaways we have ever had. Crispy chilli beef was so good. Never had it as crispy as this before especially as a takeaway it normally goes soggy. Shows it’s cooked fresh. Will definitely be returning and highly recommend to anyone.

Always great food and service. Highly recommended 👌

After trying other Chinese takeaways when we first moved to Bournemouth 12 years ago, we came across this one and it's been our 'go to' Chinese ever since. We have never had a bad meal from here, the prices are good for what you get and they deliver when they say they will and quite often sooner than stated. Highly recommend 😁

Li’s is always my go to takeaway, consistently the food is amazing quality and delicious. Its quite hard to find good vegan options for chinese and Li’s is miles and miles better than anywhere else in bournemouth. The vegan chicken satay is incredible. Will never order anywhere else again! Delivery always surprises me with how quick it arrives too, especially even during busy hours, and the delivery people are always so friendly and polite!

OMG!!!! If there's a better Chinese Takeaway than Mr Li's (in Northbourne) then I'd like to know about it!!!! FANTASTIC FOOD!!!!

fast and friendly service. delicious juicy food, non-greasy and full of flavour. had a lovely Tuesday night dinner! will be back soon ignore the false 1 star reviews, clearly some can cook their own food! highly recommend the shredded beef. familys favorite

Great staff and lovely food… We moved away from Kinson area but still come back here!!

Food was good, Portions could be a bit bigger.

Veggie tasty and offer veggie "chicken" options which keeps a vegan very happy!

Had a takeout Sunday eve it took an hour and a half to be delivered it was cold greasy and tasteless Will be using lee’s dynasty in future

I regularly order a fully vegan feast from here, amazing section, great taste. They are very accommodating & rare to find a chinese that does vegan meat alternatives. Only downside is they don't deliver to me & i'm 15 mins away!

Extremely yummy vegan food😍 Staff are so helpful when it comes to vegan food. I don’t regularly order from chineses but this will now be my go to! Staff were kind and helped me pick out the popular dishes. Extremely knowledgeable around what dishes contains eggs. Whereas if I were to go to another. There would be a big language barrier or the staff has no idea Staff here speak perfect English and are very warm and welcoming. Would highly recommend to anyone. Definitely do not be put off as I was originally put off from the reviews but they’re so untrue😒 Restaurant itself is family run, assuming it’s an independent shop. Spent £30 but could’ve easily spent more considering how yummy it is. Also offered to swap the prawn crackers to veggie spring roll which is vegan too. Lovely people 🍀

Amazing amazing food! Young gentleman was lovely and took my order efficiently. My order was ready in 15 minutes when I got to the takeaway. I absolutely love the food here. It's gorgeous, especially the chilli beef strips. I have never had a bad meal here nor service. Staff were extremely polite and always kept me updated. Ignore the 1 stars. They're so biased that I bet they don't even talk to the staff to solve their issues. Sadly too many keyboard warriers who have nothing better to do Highly recommended this Chinese for a quick bite

Used Li's before, always had good food and excellent, friendly service. The special Chow Mein today was excellent. Hot, fresh and full of meat and prawns. Very yummy 😋

We ordered food (takeaway) and were quoted an hour for delivery - no problem with that. The order arrived 20 minutes later than the expected time and it was cold. This isn’t the first time this has happened but this time we are not happy. We believe that the delivery driver is delivery a few ? Orders on the same trip - we don’t have a problem with that but there needs to be a much better way of keeping everything warm - I don’t appreciate having to re-heat everything in the microwave

absolutely appalling, young female at counter was moody and didn’t even smile when taking my order, she responded to me with a attitude and didn’t even apologise when they took 40 minutes with my small order for myself. definitely do not recommend and food wasn’t even that great.

Young man on front desk . Very pleasant. Was very clear in reading back order. Had very pleasant customer service skills .Credit to li's

Really impressed with my order, crispy chilli beef was genuinely crispy even covered with sauce, chili garlic ribs where really good. Egg friend rice was fluffy and light. Just need to confirm if they have an option for no MSG.

The "BEST" Chinese food in Bournemouth, I have tried several places over time but this place is worth the drive to get to!

I go often and they make my meals how I like them. I usually go for chicken chow mein and ask for more sauce as I don't like it too dry and it comes out perfect.

Really good food, delivery is always reasonable. Won’t order from anywhere else now. I’m a veggie partner is a meat eater and we both really enjoy the food from here

Best satay chicken on skewers here. Rest of the food is good quality.

Always excellent quality food and polite and professional staff. The only problem is, I can never go anywhere else, it just doesn't compare to Li's 👍🏻

I ordered food to be delivered for the first time last night and was very impressed. The food was well cooked, hot, generous portion sizes and tasted delicious. Delivery was quick and driver was very polite. Food was very reasonably priced. Will be ordering again. Thank you.

Had take away from here a few times now when I visit my daughters family.. Always impressed by the choice and quality

We always order from lei’s but this meal was bad. Ate it as couldn’t be bothered to take it back. They said over hour wait, fair enough but when it arrived it was cold, curry was congealed and not even warm. Rice and chow mien was ok but not hot. The ribs pretty tasteless. The strips were tasteless. For £28 not good. I think it had been in transit for hour. We’ve always had good food from here. Time for a change

Would have been a 5star if my order had been correct! Ordered menu no 5 for 3 people but was given meal for 2 and was too far away to go back. Food was very good, hot and well presented.

After having a couple of bad experiences with another restaurant we thought we would try Li’s. Oh my good!! They didn’t disappoint! Honestly amazing we will definitely be ordering again. I Missed a bit of our address out, called the restaurant and they were so lovely and the driver got it to us. 6stars if we could!

Ordered a takeaway from here on a Saturday 8th @ 6.55pm. Set menu dinner no5 for 3 people. Food was good but only for 2 people ie, 2 x pancake rolls, 2 x ribs, 2 x chicken satay. If it had been a full order then it would have been 4/5 stars.

Meaty tasty ribs & excellent chow mein. Chose the spicy option could have done with hotter chilli’s but still very good. Will defo order again.

Amazing vegan and vegetarian 'chicken' options at a good price! Extremely friendly and great tasting food! They can even swap the prawn crackers for spring rolls if requested. Highly recommend.

Best Chinese I've visited recently, friendly staff and beautifuly cooked meal. Very fair prices too👍

Best take away for miles always friendly and polite with amazing service food is always delicious and hot consistently fantastic! well done guys and girls keep up the great work.

Very Nice, Regularly Order From This Takeaway, Always Very Good Quality!

Excellent quality food dishes and worth a repeat visit for takeaway's, many times.

Had your takaway last month with family, highly recommended, it was great, very tasty, had it again acouple of weeks ago , still very nice ,tried it again tonight, very disappointed,prawn curry and rice, very bland,tastless. The hot & sour soup was very tasty. But so disappointed with curry. This was a takeaway & not a restaurant visit.

Normally the best Chinese around. Have been going here for years. Tonight however was very disappointing. Pork in chilli and oyster sauce was flavourless. I always enjoy a side of curry sauce and chips. I don't normally like chips, but the ones from the Chinese are always spot on but for some reason they have changed to some sort of horrible steak cut oven chips. Disappointing to say the least but shall be trying somewhere new next time.

One of the nicest Chinese I had for a long time there are many in kinson , but this is one of the nicest highly recommend it good value for money and the staff are friendly very good service excellent I had it quite a few times now and I will do so again brilliant are you fit it my friend on solar park the caravans Park and we always have a delivery

Not had a problem before but this evening food was delivered cold, lamb was mainly bone dumplings had absorbed all the vinegar and were cold satay sauce was congealed the vegetable curry was not edible the spices were not cooked out! Very very disappointed we spent nearly £50 on our order

Nice food, a good alternative to my usual. Definitely would use again but a bit far away from me to use regularly

Best takeaway in Bournemouth. We've been using it for years and always found food to be excellent and service really efficient. Run by a lovely family with a great online ordering service.

The fake 'chicken' is really delicious and you get big portions. Plus it's vegan, which means vegans now have a great option whenever they want Chinese takeaway. The only way it could be better is by adding fake 'chicken' and sweetcorn soup, and fake 'duck'. I very highly recommend Li's.

Good Chinese but do not order Thai - smelt off and look congealed - a phone call to Li’s advised me ‘that’s how they do it’ . When I questioned again that it smelt off “sorry” was the response. Don’t advertise Thai if you can’t deliver it!

No good the food was bad it was once a great would not go back again

We travel about 45 mins to go to this Chinese. Bypassing all others in our near area! Having lived down south for over 10 years now, I'd yet to find a decent Chinese takeaway, until I found this amazing place! Food is always delicious, hot and wonderful staff. Worth every penny! 5 stars everytime. The one we had last night was amazing! Try their Singapore chow mein-it's fantastic! Thanks!

The food here is always a very nice treat, you won’t be disappointed. One of the best Chinese takeaway’s in Bournemouth ! 🥡 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ .

The food is very good everytime we get it we have had it twice now and we will not go now where else they are very friendly as well and the shop and kitchen r very clean keep the good work up

Very good Chinese takeaway, one of the best in town.

The worst chinese I have ever had Took over a hour for them to deliver, when the food arrived it was cold, the crispy chilli beef was rock hard and the ribs full of fat. Terrible customer service when rang they claimed they have never had a complaint in 20 years then rudely shouted an hung up

Usually Li's are very good tonight the chow mein was super bland and the satay sauce was a bit thick and too sweet and the crispy chilli beef was quite hard and overly sweetened. The fried rice was fluffy and the mini spring rolls were good. Not quite as good as usual.

Tasty, well cooked food, extremely hard working staff, however waiting time sometimes can be too long.

Had a magnificent takeaway from li's like always, don't let the 1 stars liiars put you off ordering reading through the 1 stars, they honestly sound like idiots not contacting the takeaway to help solve their problem. Honestly it's a no brainer to contact them if you're unhappy... Would personally ignore those liars, their service is superb and they always tell us the delivery times! Seeing that they're such a excellent takeaway, of course th3y will be busy, I wouldn't let the 1 stars ever change my mind. P. S. Always order a little earlier if you're not happy to wait😂

I’d love to tell you what they’re food is like but since it hasn’t been delivered after an hour and a half wait I can’t tell you. First time we’ve used them and based on this the last.

Have ordered from here many times and always been happy. Ordered tonight and was awful. Ordered beef in black bean, which I have had many, many times, but couldn't eat it tonight as it was SO spicy, I also ordered pork thai style for my husband which was bland and tasteless. Really looking forward to our meal but ended up disappointed.

We ordered a week ago and had a pleasant well cooked meal delivered. We ordered a similar meal tonight however it was awful. The ribs were dry and overcooked, the red Thai curry smelt awful and the noodles looked insipid. We threw most in the bin because of the smell. Its a shame.

Was recommended this place as a Vegan with allergies, and they did not disappoint there veggie chicken is amazing highly reccommend

Perfect for 2 to share. Was very clean and non greasy. Huge portion of seaweed and the most gigantic spring rolls i have ever seen and filled to the brim. Only ordered from here as our local was closed tonight. Will most definitely be ordering again. And highly recommend Many thanks

This was our first time ordering a takeaway from here and the food was very good, however the portions were a little small.

Realmente se fue cuesta abajo! !Disfrutamos mucho de las comidas para llevar de aquí durante el último año, pero la última pareja nos ha dejado a todos sintiéndonos mal y la calidad de la carne en los platos es cuestionable.¡Es una pena! !

I have been a customer of this take away for a number of years and the food is very good normally but enough is enough. I’ve ordered twice this week and have had to wait over 1hour 20 min for my food. On Wednesday night the order was incorrect and poorly cooked and now I’m sat here waiting over 85 mins for a take away and I’ve paid £4 for delivery(both times and every time) plus the food, only to be told that it’s still at the take away and hasn’t even left yet. This is the last time I will order food for here and am absolutely Disgusted with the service I have received. I can see from other reviews I’m not alone and wish the business I worked for could afford to let customers down with no remorse and the excuse of “we are busy”.The good news is for you with customer service like that and wrong orders going out at least your premium charge for delivery will mean that what customers you have left will get those food like other take aways within 45 min to an hours max. My household even supported your business during lockdown. Lesson learnt. Will find another take away for my business at £30-£40 a time approximately twice a week. Not what I want to be writing after a day at work!!!!

Quick delivery, and very tasty! Will be ordering again

We had aromatic duck and a chicken curry with egg fried rice and it was one of the best Chinese takeaway’s we’ve had. Very recommended.

Fantastic every single time. Been getting Li’s for years and it’s the whole family’s favourite Chinese around by far. Always great food, lovely staff and never disappointed.

Totally amazing takeaway..... best i have ever eaten. Ceispy chilli beef was crispy not soggy and chewy... 5 stars all round 😍

The spicy chilli and garlic lamb ribs are out of this world!Been ordering from here for years, I would strongly advise collection as I had issues once with delivery, and the service wasn’t great! Just pop down and collect it, problem removed lol!I cannot tell you how good the lamb ribs are, never seen them elsewhere and they are beyond tasty and very tender!

Acceptable, but not my particular favourite. There was nothing particularly bad about here but the I prefer the sweet and sour chicken and fried rice from the other premises nearby.

Tengo una alergia muy severa a las nueces y al maní. Pedí por teléfono para asegurarme de que estoy bien para comer. La llamada se manejó con cuidado y cada artículo que ordené fue revisado y autorizado para mí como seguro.Solo este nivel de servicio solo es enorme para mí. Así que estoy muy agradecido.La entrega fue muy rápida y el chico fue agradable y feliz.La comida fue simplemente increíble. ¡Caliente, sabroso y abundante! Absolutamente delicioso. Yo y mi esposo estamos muy felices de encontrar un lugar tan bueno.Recomendamos aquí altamente. No puedo esperar para ordenar de nuevo. ¡Definitivamente nuevos clientes de por vida! !

My favourite Chinese. Friendly & helpful staff and a Great selection of dishes at reasonable prices. The food is always delicious and is delivered hot to your door. Excellent.

The nicest food from a chinese takeaway I've had for a long time i'm so glad my local was closed so I came to li's.

We used Li's takeaway for the first time recently and it was absolutely delicious. It was cooked perfectly and the ingredients were of great quality, for example the chicken balls we had were very large and contained nice pieces of chicken breast meat. The chow mein was tasty and had a great texture and it wasn't at all greasy, like it can be at other places. Overall we were very impressed and happy with our dinner from Li's Chinese Takeaway and will happily return again.

Han usado Li. Hace más de varios años y nunca he estado más decepcionado que esta noche. La comida se retrasó 20 minutos y cuando se llamó por teléfono para perseguirlo, le dijeron que había salido 5/10 minutos antes. El pato crujiente vino sin panqueques y telefoneó mientras estábamos comiendo solo para que nos dijeran que podían reembolsar 1. 20 o entregar dichos panqueques varios minutos después. No es bueno para nosotros ya que estamos a la mitad del pato. Curry y Chow Mien también estaban fríos, pero en ese momento simplemente se rindieron y tiraron todo. Una pérdida total de 30 libras, no estaban interesados, aunque el conductor apareció diez minutos después con nuestros panqueques. Decepcionado por la falta de interés, lo siento, no volveré a usar esta comida para llevar.

Comida para llevar ordenada en línea a las 7. 10 después de varias llamadas telefónicas, la comida llegó a las 9. 20) Si pudiéramos haber cancelado lo haríamos. Llamé y el dueño se disculpó y me ofreció un descuento de 5. Sobre la comida. Soy vegano y tuve el tofu frío. Cuando tienes esto en un restaurante tienes salsas. Mi tofu estaba tan seco y duro como si lo hubieran dejado toda la noche. No pude comerlo. Así que me metí en mi alga que estaba bien. Tuve los kebabs de verduras que estaban bien. El chowmein de pollo de mi compañero estaba frío, pero si hubiera estado caliente hubiera sido un buen chowmein. Tenía las costillas que otra vez estaban frías. Muy decepcionante. El conductor dijo que había estado extremadamente ocupado esa noche. Tengo que decir que cuando mi hija estaba deprimida, pidió una comida para llevar y fue una de las mejores. Lamento tener que escribir esta crítica, pero si el restaurante estaba demasiado ocupado hubiéramos preferido que nos lo dijeran y no hubiéramos pedido.

Li's just provided catering for our party and 65 people. A big order!! The food was absolutely amazing, served so well and right on time. All perfect and very popular with our guests. We can't thank you enough.

Always good, hot food and quick delivery and friendly delivery people. Not open on Mondays. Curries are delicious and recommend ribs..

Good food and the staff are friendly! and don't take forever to collect when ordered for collection.

Food is delicious and yummy. Shop is clean and welcome. I strongly recommend that if you like Chinese food.

My local Chinese was closed on Tuesdays so tonight I tried Li's and very glad I Did. Fantastic service and the food was better in every way than our usual place. Love the large quantity of seaweed in the platter, the chicken dishes were moist and all the food tasted fresh and clean. Well done we will be back 👍

Best Chinese takeaway in the area, if not one of the best in the BH postcode area! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁😁😁

Been ordering food here for years. Great food and selection on menu. Speedy response and delivery times :)

Tried it a couple of times as we've recently moved, food is ok but the second time of using them my order was wrong and the delivery driver conveniently didn't have any change, I'm all for topping drivers but feel agreaved when they purposely don't bring change to put you on the spot. In any case it's not the best in Bournemouth so I'll be using the old faithful from now on.

Good food and fast service. Would recommend ordering in advance.

Best in Bournemouth and a lovely efficient team of staff. Highly recommend

Nice food good price and good quality with good size portions

First time we have tried this takeaway. Meal came hot and enjoyable. Only one thing but it’s to do with my taste, which to many chillies, so was hot in other ways.

Tuvimos nuestra primera comida después de este lugar siendo recomendado por un amigo. Nos mudamos a la zona hace 2 años y todavía estábamos por encontrar una comida para llevar de buena calidad. Nuestra comida llegó a tiempo y pipping caliente. No he tenido un chino así durante muchos años. Encantadores entrantes y los platos principales estaban muy sabrosos, todos recién preparados y las verduras aún crujientes, se notaba que todo estaba hecho en casa. Este lugar ha restaurado mi gusto en chino. También tuvimos un 10% de descuento en el primer pedido.

Amazing food and one of the best Chinese I have had.

Just moved to the area and I’m really impressed with this Chinese, they get 5* for customer service and 5* for the quality of the food. I ordered via their app and when paying by card I had to authorise via my banking app which caused a problem with my order. The restaurant called me to say my payment hadn’t gone through and could I pay by alternate means, I checked my banking app and the money had been debited, so said I’d leave the Chinese and check with my bank in the morning. No less than 2 minutes later I had another call from another person (assuming manager/owner) who apologised and said they’d just checked their account and my money was there and if I still wanted the food they’d cook it straight away and deliver ASAP. Well I’m glad they did deliver, we had chicken balls, rice, lemon chicken, crispy beef and duck noodles. The chicken balls were super tasty, massive and had no grease on them at all. The lemon chicken my wife informed me as really really good and my crispy beef was superb. For once a crispy beef that’s actually crispy!! Well done Li’s, I’ll definitely be ordering again

Ordenamos a Li la última noche y nos sentimos especialmente atraídos por ellos debido a la opción de pollo vegetariano. Haber convertido recientemente en vegetariano, esta es una buena opción y el pollo Satay Veggie es INCREÍBLE! No puedo recomendar lo suficiente. . incluso a nuestros amigos comedores de carne les encantó. El servicio fue súper rápido (ordenado en línea y obtuvo un 10% de descuento) y se recogió en la tienda. Realmente lo recomiendo!
