Hop Li

Hop Li Restaurant Review:

Hong-Kong style Cantonese seafood is the specialty of this no-frills Westside branch of a Chinatown favorite, a good place to bring the family for a multi-course meal built around fresh rock cod or flounder steamed with ginger, or deep-fried with sweet-and-sour sauce. The extensive menu also features crustaceans cooked every which way (try the shrimp with honey-glazed walnuts), plus many poultry, beef and pork dishes, and such Chinese exotica as braised sea cucumber. The $6.95 lunch specials are good bargains, and the wine list surprised us with some good selections. Also located at 526 Alpine St., Los Angeles, 213-680-3939.
