Great quality food and super tasty! Definitely try it out, especially if you have a craving for dim sum in Miami (where there are not a lot of options!)

This one's a challenging review to do, for reasons as such; the chef was accommodating and seems to be working all the roles,but the food were a mix of hits and misses, the greats; the chicken bao was incredible, and I love love me a good bao, this was a great bao, textures, sauce, all spot on, the XO rice was perfectly earthy, maybe a little under-seasoned, now the gyozas and XLB that were quite a miss, the gyoza was perfectly cooked but the flavor and filling just doesn't translate, the XLB didn't have enough gelatin and I believe the wrapper had soaked up all the soup that's supposed to be inside, considering the other reviews here we probably just got the bad batch of XLB, the chinese eggplant was tasty, at its best mediocre, my boyfriend loved it though! It's a solid 3.5 for me, just because I can see the potential and how dedicated the chef is, and again its hits and misses. Nonetheless, I will definitely be back to try out the rest and it looks like they reinvent their menu quite often, which is always a treat! Thank you to the chef for the complimentary amuse, it will be a great addition to the menu!

Extremely surprised by the amazing creativity from the imagination of the master chef at work. I have to say this is one of the best restaurants in coral gables, from the presentation to the taste it was all perfectly executed. Definitely coming back to eat again.

Came with my wife to the Dinner Only Pop Up….AMAZING! Didn’t get the 5 star because the service was great but server didn’t know somethings on the menu….Flavors were on point! Read some reviews left on Yelp, don’t understand why…that XO RICE & EGG…wow….Highly Recommended , will definitely go back

This place is amazing. The staff has really good manners, the chef is an amazing person. Such an experience and such delicious food. I would come again for sure! :)
Raymond Li, chef of Li’s Dim Sum, has created a delicious menu bursting with flavor in this discrete pop up in coral gables. My husband and I had wonderful dinner last night consisting of his homemade *not frozen* soup dumplings, shrimp and truffle dumplings, crab egg rolls, tuna bao buns, cold noodles and ending with his arroz con leche. Absolutely nothing disappointed! Word to the wise, chef Li only has a limited supply of soup dumplings per day so get there early! They are worth it. Wishing all the best to this hard working chef!

Hidden gem off Ponce. Inside a marketplace that doesn't look Asian at all. Great lil spot though. I didn't think I was in the right place when I arrived but don't be scared by the pastries and wine shop, it's Li's. We ordered a lot of fun things to share. My fav was the crispy chicken bao and the XLBs. Being from the west coast and having gone to din tai fung a lot, I've been on the hunt of XLBs, these definitely aren't as tasty but they do the trick. Everything felt fresh and chef Li even came to say hello. Great guy. Would definitely go back and try more! The truffle potstickers were good too, big hunks of shrimp in there which I appreciated and the rice was good but I don't love kimchi and it gave me kimchi vibes but my fiancé liked it. We will be back!

We sampled a lot of the food on the Dim Sum menu and everything was fantastic. Definitely is quite expensive for portion sizes, but the food and the service was very good; the head chef came out a few times, which was a nice touch.

Honestly one of my favorite restaurants in the gables it has incredible consistency I've been about 4 times and it's been great every time. A cool quality that the restaurant has is you can order with confidence even if you're not familiar with the dish( my wife and I usually order one of everything ) and it doesn't disappoint. Highly recommend
Ok food ..nothing out of this world
