Food was really good and the servings were generous. Only negative is that they don't have tables for dine in.
Been ordering takeout here since 1996. It’s always tasty. It’s always fresh and it’s always made in a very short period of time. They have an excellent menu and plenty of choices. Plus it’s a family business.
The food was really great service was awesome 👌, definitely recommend

Five Stars
I feel like they got a new chef because the food has stepped up to top notch!
I can't wait to go back.
Thank you Kai Li
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cheap and good food. Can't say much about other stuff on their menu, but their Shrimp w. mixed vegetables in white sauce is good.
I have been staying with in-laws in Stony Brook for the last few months because of the pandemic, and have frequented Kai Li multiple times. From the outside it is unassuming with a slightly outdated facade. Don't let this confuse or deter you, because their food is wonderful. We have eaten many of their dishes including sesame chicken, beef and broccoli, as well as a variety of noodle dishes, soups (egg drop soup is really good), and appetizers. All are flavorful and cooked to order, making it fresh and enjoyable to go back each time. The owners, Gina and Steve, are incredibly friendly and remember who I am, as well as their daughter who works the registers, is really nice and professional at the register. Kai Li is both a great value price-wise and a great take on a local Chinese cuisine, and I would highly recommend this take-out restaurant to anyone in the Stony Brook and Port Jefferson area.
This is my family's staple choice for Chinese food, it is fast, inexpensive, convenient and some items are done very well. These happen to be ones I frequently get, Gen Tso's, sesame chicken, egg rolls, egg foo young to name a few. Their combo specials are good value and I recommend anyone looking for a quick meal.
We love Kai Li! Owners Gina and Steve are the most kind people-- they gave us a few free items on big orders. They are generous with portions and have kept fair prices even as other nearby Chinese restaurants have steadily increased theirs. Kai Li has the best sesame chicken in town-- and an awesome $10 lunch special.
Also-- we've been going to Kai Li for over 15 years-- truly a neighborhood gem. This family-owned take out restaurant has been serving the community for so long-- and continues to do so through COVID-19, hurricane Sandy, and tropical storm Isiah! During the pandemic, they have new protocols in place to keep everyone safe (e.g., heavy duty screen between staff and customers, online ordering system, gloves, masks, cleaning protocols). We love this local business!
Came here with some friends and had a GREAT experience, Gina, the lady at the front, was so friendly and welcoming that it felt like i was eating at home. We got the boneless bbq ribs with lo mein and hot and sour soup. The portions were very generous and the food was delicious. HIGHLY recommend. Definitely will return to try everything else!
My father and I have ordered from Kai Li on and off for years now and I am always satisfied with the food and the price. Despite our track record I'm sad to say I haven't much to say about the owners, (a personal failing,) but the place itself is a fine establishment, and I always feel welcome. I hope Kai Li will be here for years to come.
Kai Li has always had wonderful food and I've enjoyed it several times over the years with my family or when I was alone at home. However, now that they don't deliver anymore, I can't enjoy their food. I am not going to walk 30 minutes just to pick up lunch and I don't drive. Very disappointed.
Fantastic food and service. My family has been coming here for years and we are always satisfied. The family that owns Kai Li Kitchen is absolutely lovely as well. Highly recommend!
One of my go-to's for Chinese take-out. Food is always consistent and very efficient...
Ok they have the best chicken and garlic, egg rolls, sesame chinken, dumplings .now the general chicken is a red sauce instead of brown it's not bad but I no longer order it I order the sesame which is brown . The fryed rice is ok. The people working there are all very nice.
Excellent, fast Chinese takeout.
Cheese wontons, dumplings; pork egg rolls are all excellent. Steamed dumplings have a slightly spicy flavor; it’s unique and unusual. Wonton soup is good, hot & sour soup is even better and always packed to the brim. Boneless BBQ spare ribs are really very good and flavorful.
The orange chicken is extra spicy, sweet and sour sauce, great dish. Snow peas with chicken-an excellent American/Chinese stir-fry. The white rice is the best rice given in a Chinese takeout, firm and fluffy. Chicken broccoli with brown sauce is a wonderful dish, really the highlight to any quick dinner. The secret is the sauce that’s handed down inside the family for generations. Shrimp w/broccoli is always yummy, in a brown sauce, with lots of broccoli.
My friends and I were having a movie night, so I decided to grab some of Kai Li's takeout. I couldn't have asked for a better meal! The food was really delicious! I would DEFINITELY recommend the sesame chicken as well as the wonton soup and the roast pork lo mein. Lots of restaurants have sesame chicken where it's generally soggy and unappetizing, but not here. I want to thank this restaurant for making my movie night a complete success.
