Not impressed
If you've ever had REAL Chinese food, or like me, have grown up in Asia surrounded by delicious Chinese cuisine, from expensive restaurants to dirt cheap hawker stalls, you will not be impressed by this Cantonese chain. Though it makes it's best effort to provide a HUGE selection on the menu and offer fresh seafood, the portions are so large that they are unappetizing, and the cuts of meat a little on the fatty side. This place obviously caters to the less experienced tongue, who is used to bastardized Chinese food. And even so, that would be fine, had it not given my family members a case of the stomach aches.

CLOSED DOWN
It's not even open anymore! There's a sign on the door saying that it's been closed down due to an "infestation" - yikes! Save yourself the trip!

Good Chinese Food
My wife and I went to Hop Li last night. Pretty good overall. We have eaten dinner in Hong Kong and Beijing before and this was actually pretty similar (in a good way). I recommend the fish and the veggies. The mango chicken was decent but nothing to write home about as it could have had more flavor.

Ewww, Ewww, and MORE EWWW.
I don't know which was worse the quality of the chicken used in my dish, or the service. This establishment is dirty, and inhospitable. The waiter tried to rush my party and I right from the start. He gave us nothing but attitude when I attempted to order. The food was extremely poor, and it was overall a terrible experience in which they tried to rip me off by trying not to give me change. (Long story, you can imagine, just some of the scummiest business I have ever seen). WARNING TO CONSUMER, I was a Hospitality Major in College, and I can tell you, CUSTOMER BEWARE.

Best Chinise in town!
This place has amazing food! I don't know what they do to it, but it's so different from any other Chinese place in town. Try: salty shrimp (with shell), peking duck, crab (ask them to put crispy noddles under it). Do family style so you can try everything. Make reservations!!!

Not bad at all
It's hard to find good Chinese food in Los Angeles. This place comes pretty close - actually CHINESE, not "Fusion" restaurant, nice setting, good service. You do pay a premium, compared to the authentic Chinese restaurants that I am used to out in areas like diamond bar, but I consider it the price for having actual Chinese food in West LA.

Expensive but legitimate
Actual Chinese food on the West Side! Nice restaurant. It is unfortunately costly, much more so than for similar food in Diamond Bar. Soups are quite tasty.

Awesome food, service, and price. terrible valet service/parking.
We love this place. The food is good and the service is quick. Our kids love the food and we feed a family of five for around 35 dollars (before tip). The slippery shrimp and orange chicken are our favorites. They have the same or similar sauces. I have tried nothing that I didnt like on the menu. Kids like the fish tank and the turntable in the middle of the tables. Service is always good with the same group of waitstaff always on.

The Worst Dining Experience of My Life
I am new to the LA area and after reviewing the Citysearch reviews, I dined at HOP Li with trepidation. The reviews were inconsistent (some were good and some were bad). So, I hoped for the best. I had the worst dining experience of my entire life at Hop Li for the following reasons:

Stomach churning food, chintzy atmosphere, rude service.
We visited this restaurant because of the pictures on its website. I caution everyone to never do this. The waiter looked insulted when we asked to look at the menu before we ordered. He condescended to open the wine we had brought. Three other servers brought our food at three different times. The appetizer was overcooked and greasy. The spareribs were thick and loaded with fat. Then, came the mushrooms stuffed with shrimp. The mushroom had the taste of a dead cow's hide. The shrimp would make a cat sick. My wife wanted to leave. I asked the waiter to take the mushroom terror off the menu. He said we had eaten of it, so we needed to pay for it. I said we had tasted two pieces and that was enough to let us know it was inedible. He said he would call the manager. The manager came with the same argument, since we had tasted it, we should pay for it. I said that we had discovered how awful it was by tasting it. I got up and was about to pay when the manager ran over and gave me a new check with the shrimp and mushroom horror removed. I told him that my wife was not feeling well. He said she ought to go to the hospital.

Not as great as I thought it would be
People kept on recommending Hop Li to me, so I decided to try it. It was good, decent Chinese food, but being from San Gabriel Valley, I could've gotten the same meal (amount and quality) at a lower price.

Avoid at all costs
I was totally turned off by seeing Shark Fin Soup on the menu. This is a cruel and inhumane practice where shark are caught in the wild , their fins are cut off and they are thrown back in the water to dieWorldwide > United States > Los Angeles, CA > Seafood Restaurants
