We had an intimate dinner with our Chinese friends; they were told Li Li was highly recommended. The barbecue platter was really good, i enjoyed the crunchy skin of suckling pig and the tasty duck. I especially loved the crunchy vegetables and pork spare ribs. The place is deal for families and small groups.Everything tasted authentic and cooked with fresh ingredients. Definitely going back.

Budget-wise, i wouldn’t recommend this buffet dining experience.Taste - ❤️❤️❤️❤️Ambience- ❤️❤️❤️❤️Staffs/accomodation - ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Value for money -❤️❤️❤️❤️Food selection - chinese, japanese american, italian dishes.(there are preptime for the pasta, seafoods and chinese cuisines. You can also order for wine or beers but those are exclusive if the buffet price.We went there fir lunch, and we ate for the whole time(12-3). I love their sashimi tho but there are few sushi to choose from(california, tuna abd fried sushi, yes just 3 sushi variants). And their ginger is quite good. If you are a vegan, worry not, as there are also vegetable salads with fresh ingredients prepped for you.The staffs are always around so we didn’t have any problem asking for our needs. And they are a bunch of smiling faces too so it’s nit awkward fir you to ask for some assistance. They would be glad to.

Lili’s raises the bar for all Chinese restaurants in the Metro. Coming from a Chinese family who loves comparing different Chinese restaurants, Lili’s is the our definition of fine dining with Chinese food cooked to perfection. Lili’s gives justice to the socialite whom the restaurant was named after - very classy and Chinese all rolled into one. We always find ourselves going back to this restaurant, even though it’s downtown. My family would always look forward to dining here during special occasions or even just a regular day out. You can’t get your hands of their scrumptious appetizers followed by delicious Chinese meals - a few of our favorites: Hot & Sour Soup - this is undoubtly the best version of this soup. We’ve tried a number of Chinese restaurants locally & internationally already. This one has never been beaten yet. We always find ourselves comparing the Hot & Sour Soups to Lili’s.Mapo Tofu - Another one of our staple orders. There are different ways to cook Mapo Tofu. This is also one of the best Mapo Tofus out there.Sweet & Sour Pork - This dish can be found in almost any Chinese restarants from the lower to upper tier. But again, Lili has never failed us. The sweet & sour flavors blend well with the pork and leaves behind a savory aftertaste.Overall, top notch service from the crew. The ambience reminds you of classy old China. Interior pieces are absolutely gorgeous. You can mistake the pieces for museum relics! Lili’s has never failed us. Unfortunately, I’m never able to take photos, because whenever the food is served to our table. Everyone is quiet & just like that... everything is gone. Don’t order their dimsums though! It’s disappointing, but their main menu is the king here. Will always be our favorite restaurants here in Manila! We keep coming back for more - even if we order the same set of dishes everytime.

i emailed and even called few days before to reserve a table for 13. i specifically said that i wanted 1 table. 11 adults 2 high chairs. when we went there,the table is not set for 13 pax. i let it slide.but then their service is not good as well. we asked them to change the chairs and they just told us there are no other chairs available without even checking the whole restaurant. good thing my mom got invited on another event which was also here. she told the waiter there were chairs not being used on the other side. that was the time they actually checked it and change some of our chairs. service is slow. noone bothered asking for some orders since they were all busy walking around. i raised my hand several times just in order for someone from them to get our orders. when i was in the middle of ordering, i told the waiter to check the bill if it reaches the vouchers i brought. he then told me not yet. i asked him to check several times every time i will add some orders. little did i know that when they were about to present the bill, i already exceeded the amount of vouchers i brought. to add,they even served us a wrong dish. also, their spinach soup smelled and tasted something fishy. they told us it was because of a different spinach being used?? come on. is there a spinach tastes fishy (malansa)? anyhow,i asked them to change it instead. overall,i was not impressed by the service and quality that they have provided to us. with the price they offer, we were expecting a good quality for food and service. unfortunately, both did not even meet my standard. i do NOT recommend anyone to eat here.

Rarely do the Zamoras find ourselves in the Manila area, but we would cross oceans and climb mountains for some awesome dimsum, and Li Li, the premiere Chinese restaurant of AG New World Manila Bay Hotel, is the home of one of the best Dimsum All You Can Promos that you can find in Metro Manila!

Dined here on Sunday for boyfriend’s birthday. I made reservations beforehand thinking it would be full on a Sunday but luckily it wasn’t. We tried their Unlimited Dimsum Buffet for 1088php and boy, was it worth it! All which we tried were really, very good. Personally, we both loved the Baked Puff Pastry stuffed with Pork BBQ the most (The one on the lower right side in the photo). It was delicious! You can definitely taste the melty butter on the first bite. The sweetness of it matches perfectly with the savory meat inside. And the texture was just perfect! ❤️ Of course we ordered more of these after. From making reservations until dining in then finishing our meals, the staffs were very accommodating. Thumbs up! This is one of the best unli-dimsum places within Manila.

When I received an invite to dine at Li Li - New World Manila Bay Hotel, I was dreading the day because of traffic but it was a surprisingly not so frenetic Friday. I arrived at Li Li calm and collected and the place exudes that old world opulence of yesteryears with the well furnished interiors. We had the Dim sum All You Can for a budget friendly 1,088pesos considering you have a choice of over 50 plus dim sum, appetizers, roast dishes, soup, main course and dessert, and what a surprise even the drinks are included on the price! It is like having more than what was advertised! It is Dim sum and More - All You Can Eat!We had to pace ourselves with all the delicious choices, some of the items rotate seasonally depending on the availability of the products, so expect each visit to be unique from the last. We enjoyed more than half of what is on the menu and here is a small peek of it: Honey Glazed Pork BBQ - roasted char sui style pork in a sweet honey glaze, this goes perfectly well with their man tao bread. The Roasted Pork has the perfect ratio of meat : fat. The skin was crisp, and had a glistening glow. The tender meat had a clean taste, dip in a bit of hoisin sauce for that great salty contrast. The Shrimp Dumplings was just great! Plump, whole juicy tiny shrimps covered and packed the dumpling. Dip in a bit of chili sauce to bring out more flavor. The steamed pumpkin dumpling had a unique taste because the wrap itself was made of pumpkin. Mashed and thick wrap that melts in your mouth. The grainy texture is still there as well as the nutty flavor of the pumpkin. The Baked Pastry Puff Pork Buns was a combination of sweet, flaky and butter pastry encasing a savory pork barbeque filling. It was so addicting, eating one is a travesty! The Spinach Scallop dumplings is another unique creation, putting together healthy and nutritious spinach with soft scallops in a dumpling, this i dip in a bit of light soy.Apart from the roasts and dim sum they also have mains, tried the crispy sweet and sour pork which i enjoyed very much even with its rather overly crisp batter. The sauce was too bright for orange but had great sour taste. The soft tofu with century egg was refreshing because of the light and creamy tofu complimented by the gelatinous century egg. The fried rice was equally good but one cup is enough to make room for more dim sum. Out of all the desserts we tried, the Peanut Roll was delicious because of the ground, almost powdered nuts paired with a soft warm rice cake. For drinks, their signature Guava Iced Tea is a must order. Service was impeccable, they engage in small talk and was very knowledgeable about the menu items.When in Manila, a visit to Li Li is in order, to try out their amazing Dim Sum All You and More! Buffet. Recommended.

Li Li is and will always be one of our favorites when it comes to delicious dim sum and superb service! Ever since the first time we tried their food, the quality still hasn't changed. The food is still amazing and it has been one of the best Chinese restaurants in town ever since its inception. Price is also very reasonable and affordable, for only Php 1,088 per person, it's already UNLIMITED Dim Sum, Appetizers, Mains, Roastings, Soup, and even Desserts! What more can you ask for!

I've dined at Li Li before but it was my first time to try their Dimsum Buffet for P1,088 nett per person. The price is really worth it because it comes with my favorite hakao and over 30 dimsum items to choose from. The Scallop Dumpling and the Steamed Dumpling with Crab Meat and Shrimp were some of the new items we really liked as well. It also comes with a few main dishes like Sweet & Sour Pork and Braised Pork Belly, plus fried rice and desserts, so it's a great deal! It's even available for Sunday brunch at the same price.
