House of Li is a family-run Chinese street food restaurant on High Street in Motueka, Tasman. The owners say the menu is made fresh each day, using free range eggs, chicken and pork. Orders can be taken away or eaten in, and text orders are accepted on 027 246 0680. The shop opens from 9am. Its menu includes savoury Chinese pancakes with egg, spring onion and bean paste, stuffed oven-baked and steamed buns with braised pork, sweet and sour pork loin with vegetables (a vegetarian option is available), pan-fried chicken on rice or noodles, and Chinese naan. Drinks are chosen from a flavour board of traditional Chinese teas. The website says prices are subject to change as costs rise.
Customers often praise the dumplings and the Chinese pancake, and say the staff are friendly. Some say the dumplings are the best they have had in the region, and that the free range ingredients are a plus. Others say the bao buns have too little filling for the price, and that one chicken dish was dry.
