My brother, sister-in-law, husband and I went to Li's Brothers this past New Year's Eve, expecting a huge crowd and substantial wait. When we arrived around 7:30, however, there was no such crowd, and we were seated right away in the half-full dining room. Immediately, we noticed a sign taped to the wall that listed the menu items they were not making on New Year's Eve. Presumably these dishes were all time-intensive, so evidently we weren't the only ones expecting a crowd.
In any event, despite our initial misgivings (we were a little worried that an empty Japanese/Chinese restaurant on New Year's didn't bode well), Li's Brothers got high marks. The main dining area (there are two-- the "other" one is smaller and abuts the sushi chef's station) is spacious and comfortable. The service was adequate-- neither bad nor great-- and the food was excellent. We ordered a variety of sushi and sashimi, and without exception it was delicious and fresh. The presentation of some of the dishes-- complete with flashing LED light cubes-- was pretty kitschy, but entertaining. Li's Brothers menu is extensive, and prices are on par with similar restaurants.
This place has good food but crappy service. Â I have waited almost 2 hours for delivery service and I have even placed an order online and they lost it. Â
After waiting an hour and half I called, replaced the order and said it would take another half hour to deliver. Â If you pick it up you might be okay or eat in. Â This has not been a one time occurrence but I guess I just love the torture of trying to get delivery from them.....really its that the food is good.
Excellent lunch deals. Â The pick 2 or 3 sushi rolls includes Miso Soup ($7-9). Â I was able to try the Spicy Shrimp, Spicy Krab and Spicy Tuna rolls. Â All are smaller sized rolls but come with 6 (or maybe 8?) pieces. Â The rice was soft, and the insides were spicy.
I've not tried dinner...yet.
