The best chips in Wellington, hands down. Trust me. They either do $3 or $5 bags, the $3 is good for one person and the $5 for 2!
The donuts are pretty yummy too, and they’re cheap!

Chicken chow mein the chicken was a bit like tofu but was defantly chicken ya know what i mean?
I been here many times would i reconmend it yep i think most people come for the chips and chicken not the chinese food
The chicken burger is typical takeaways burger but feels the gap for when im lazy and want to nom something good

Have to get gravy for ur chips and ask for lots of salt (i dont know if thats good advice)
I do reconmend a vist good flavours

Not bad at all. Always goes there to buy chicken and vegetables which is really good. Overall it's not bad for a takeaway. I don't see why it's only got 2.5 rating.

Can't say I have tried any of the Chinese food here but I love their chicken and chips! 10 time better than anything you'd be getting from KFC. But still a reasonable price for good size portions.

I don't know why you have so many bad reviews. Your colossal burgers are the bomb and honey fried chicken is a big thumbs up as well. Keep it up

For some reason I've found it hard to find a decent Chinese takeaway in Wellington CBD, usually they are either overpriced or the quality in general is quite miserable and depressing.

Interesting enough Li's surprised and surpassed my low expectations. We had a mixed egg-foo young, honey chicken and nasi goreng. The portions were massive, the meals had strong taste and there was heaps of meat in the nasi goreng and EFY.

I would recommend this place as one of the better Chinese takeaway stores in Te Aro

Showstopper: Honey chicken smelled like real honey and the taste was finger licking good.

Overall Grade: B+

Love this place! Great service, the family that run the place are always really friendly. Always look forward to a tasty chicken fried rice from Li's. Food is cooked right in front of you! Definitely worth a chance and I'd definitely recommend!

Pretty good for a cheap fish n chip / Chinese takeaway. Not the freshest oil for fried stuff sometimes but the Chinese is good for the price and I eat here relatively often.

Very nice wedges, both crispy, salty, light and fluffy. The various fried rice flavours are also very tasty, and was made hot and fresh when I ordered recently. Haven't tried many of the other dishes yet, but will be sure to soon.

Just your regular fish n chips shop / Chinese takeaways at reasonable prices. They prepare Chinese takeaways quickly, often it's just 5 minutes for a single order. Decent portions.

Love this place, great if you're vegetarian they will do replacements in burgers eg: changing chicken to potato fritter in a burger for free! I know it's cheaper but I have found most fish and chip shops will charge you more for it :((. Sometime the food can be a bit greasy, but a great place to go for a treat!

I like these guys. The food's quality and the portions are massive and cheap, the cooks are quick, menus got a decent variety and overall it's just yum. They keep that old school small-town fish'n'chip thing happening in the big city. The workers are super friendly. I rate it.

I used to go here when it was Charcoal Chicken. They did an excellent chicken & veg dinner for about $10 if I recall. The spuds were always undercooked though, EVERY TIME lol. Now it's under new ownership - I buy the Chinese food - It's very reasonably priced at an average $13. And generous portions with plenty of veges and decent sized pieces of meat. They cook the meals on a wok within view unlike some other more expensive competitors who reheat pre cooked helpings in a microwave. For good Chinese food at budget prices I would recommend.

Something you'd like to have at late night. It's actually quite tasty compared with other Chinese takeaways.

I am sure this place is called Cuba Street Takeaways? Really good food and service and all the prices seem more than reasonable.
