About Li's Garden
On N Laburnum Ave in Richmond, Li's Garden is a Chinese restaurant serving dine-in guests on a walk-in basis. The menu runs from crab rangoons and spring rolls to General Tso chicken, shrimp curry, and a rotating daily special, alongside pork fried rice and seafood delight. Larger orders over a set spend come with an extra dish included, and there is a minimum purchase to place an order at all. The room opens Monday through Saturday and stays closed on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Fried rice draws repeated praise, with several reviewers calling it the standout alongside spring rolls and dishes like shrimp curry and seafood delight for regulars, though many describe the rest of the menu as inconsistent. Crab rangoons, egg rolls, and rice dishes come up often as undercooked, mushy, or oddly shaped on off days, and one diner reports shrimp and broccoli entirely lacking flavor with a thin portion of shrimp. Rib tips and buffalo wings are singled out as poor, while lo mein is called bland by another. Pricing draws recurring frustration, with reviewers describing a required minimum purchase and combo meals that felt entirely too expensive for what was served. Service is similarly mixed: some praise it as friendly, prompt, and cheerful, while others describe staff who don't smile or greet customers and a speaker system too quiet to hear order calls. One reviewer notes a manager issued a refund after undercooked rice and mushy pork rolls.

“So you don’t drive 37 minutes for no reason like we did 😭”

“usually always yummy and spot on never had any issues but i am a bit disappointed today as my Crab Rangoons were overcooked and had BURNT areas and some were shaped oddly and also small which i never experienced, disappointed that they would serve those as i’ve spent money and expected the usual i’ve always been served. still good overall. wish i would have taken photos. usually 5 star but minus 1 for today :(”

“Food was not good. Eggroll was tough to chew and shrimp inside tasted as if it were in something else with old bay seasoning. LoMein was just very blah. Wish I could leave a better review but it was not good.”

“Good customers service. We bought a few things from the menu. Rice was undercooked, and pork rolls was mushy inside. Spoke to manage and got a refund. Thanks”

“Food is ok, hit or miss some days. Rating is due to price and lack luster food. Entirely too expensive. There’s a $8 minimum to purchase and just the other day I got a combo meal and an ice tea it came out above $16, that’s just unreasonable. Could be better lower prices and make fresh food daily.”
