Kai Li isn't bad but isn't great. They seem to be heavy handed on one spice - I believe it is ginger. Their sauces all just have a certain taste to them and it just isn't that great. Again, not bad in a pinch, but not my go-to place. Order is always accurate and staff always friendly.

Every time I'm back home on Long Island I make sure to get Chinese takeout from this small family owned Chinese kitchen that I've been going to for the past 25 years! I ALWAYS order the same thing...roast pork egg roll, boneless spare ribs, Chinese chicken wings, roast pork fried rice, and chicken & broccoli NY Chinese food can really do no wrong

I've tried this place out twice now so I can say for sure, I'm not a fan. The first time I ate here we ordered combination dinners. I ordered chicken and broccoli. My fiancé ordered General Tso's chicken. They both came with fried rice and an egg roll. My chicken and broccoli was ok. The rice was more like Mexican yellow rice with pork and egg. I love Mexican yellow rice but not with Chinese food. It was weird. The egg roll was a total miss for me. I didn't eat it.
The second time (last night) we ordered a full size order of General Tso's chicken because my fiancé really liked it the first time with white rice (we learned our lesson), steamed dumplings, and egg drop soup. The soup was good, the chicken ok. I'd eat it again if my fiancé really wanted it, but I could take it or leave it. And, the steamed dumplings were gross, flavorless and mushy.
My biggest problem however comes from them posting different prices online verses what they actually charge. Our order ended up being $8.65 + tax more than we expected, about 40% more! PLEASE UPDATE YOUR ONLINE PRICING, IT'S DISHONEST!:( -

this place has been here for a really long time so theres a lot of longtime regulars that im sure could vouch for the quality of service and the food here a lot better than i could but ive liked everything ive ordered here. ive seen the dumplings and rolls being made fresh in the kitchen a few times so its the real deal. theyre really accomodating with the customizations too, you can be really specific with orders which im sure is nice for people with alergies and stuff like that, service is really fast too so if you havent been here i would give it a try.

Never had bad Chinese food...before today.
We were in the area and wanted Chinese food fast. Saw this takeout place. Thought it must be good as so many people were coming in on a random Tuesday evening around 8pm. I was wrong.
They were fast and friendly (it's why I give 2 stars instead of 1)
We only ordered fried rice, steamed dumplings and fried wontons..but I didn't like ANY of them. Taste was off. We have many great Chinese food options near where we live. It's unfortunate, because this summer we will be in the Setauket area frequently. We won't be back. I'll drive to Pt Jeff or Stony Brook if I really want Chinese again when I'm stuck in the area.
