Fami Li is recognized as a staple in the Villeray area for classic Chinese dishes like eggrolls, fried rice, and spare ribs, often praised for its consistent quality and friendly service over the years. While some patrons appreciate the reliable comfort food and reasonable combo prices, others express frustration regarding portion sizes and the meat-to-breading ratio in certain menu items. Opinions remain mixed, as some customers find the meals generous and satisfying, while others feel that price increases and smaller quantities diminish the overall value.
FamiLi, c'est notre petit resto préféré de "chinese american food" dans le quartier. C'est ultra rapide comme service & la commande est toujours complète. Nous sommes des fidèles depuis plus d'une dizaine d'années. Récemment, la salle à manger a réouvert, ce n'est donc plus seulement que pour du take-out.

I've been ordering here for 4-5 years now & it always hits the spot. In a few dozen orders over the years, I've never had any bad surprises (taste, freshness, etc.)
To make one thing clear though, this is a very specific kind of "chinese" food - very americanized, 70's suburban strip mall. Some of the menu items should give it away (hot dogs in honey garlic sauce, beef macaroni..). Is it an authentic Chinese menu or fine dining? No. However, if you're looking for fried rice, classic egg rolls, bright red pineapple chicken, etc. then this really hits the spot. The won ton is very very doughy but I kind of like it this way. I also appreciate authentic regional Chinese cuisines, but I know what I'm getting when I order here so I'm not comparing the two.
Sure, they're cash only. Not the end of the world for me. When you order, they let you know so it's not a surprise. The prices are pretty low for the amount of food you get, & delivery is pretty quick & free. Can't complain.
This is a perhaps dated, old-school americanized Chinese restaurant in a quickly gentrifying neighbourhood. I think it's a staple & hope it sticks around some more.
Livré en moins de 25 minutes, repas pour 2 délicieux. Goûte comme les repas chinois livrés de mon enfance. Je suis très contente d'avoir trouvé ce restaurant.
Je suis d'accord avec ce commentaire. Quand j'ai découvert j'ai aussi été transporté à mon enfance quand on mangeait ce genre de chinois en banlieue. Certains articles du menu sont très typique des menus chinois québecois des années 70-80.
The service is very bad. They hardly speak english, & even less french. Credit card is not accepted over the phone. These people work for themselves, not for their custommers. I have order a few times, & each time, you wait a longtime. I went to eat there once, it was the last time I ever gave them my money. I saw two strange insects crawling on a chair & also a table right next to ours.
Food was mediocre at best; my room temperature fried rice smelled like it had been left out a bit too long (within a minute later I heard another customer complain about exactly the same issue), the pineapple chicken was like a game of trying to find the chicken in all that dough. The wonton soup was as disappointing: again too doughy & not enough filling. My friend & I ended up leaving almost half of the food behind (we were forcing ourselves to eat because we hate wasting) & swore never to return there. A family of 3 walked in & I caught the eyes of the daughters & signaled them to not eat there; the girls immediately dragged their mom out & thanked me. Here's another tip: if you walk into a Chinese restaurant & they don't have chopsticks, leave immediately.
Une expérience absolument décevante; la bouffe était médiocre. Trop de pâte dans les dumplings wonton, on trouvait à peine le poulet dans le poulet à l'ananas, mon riz frit commençait à sentir mauvais. J'ai cru être parano au début mais tout de suite après j'ai entendu une autre cliente se plaindre de son riz aussi. C'était mauvais au point oú j'ai même silencieusement signalé à une famille de faire demi-tour & heureusement les filles ont eu mon message & ont tout de suite convaincu leur mère de partir. & honnêtement un resto chinois sans baguettes, c'est déjà mauvais signe. Mon amie & moi on s'est juré de plus jamais y retourner.
