Ali Asian Cuisine in Mount Vernon

This was so good! We live an hour from here and will come back just for this food!

The food is great. The rolls seem to be masterful.

It's just a basic little Asian restaurant but the prices are phenomenal and food is great if you like egg drop soup you'll love it here guaranteed highly recommended place to eat

Best sushi in town and always super friendly :)

Great food, fun presentation, nice decor and friendly/ helpful staff.

Absolutely amazing cuisine. It's locally operated by a really nice, talented family. The interior design of the place is very beautiful as well, with plenty of art to enjoy while we were dining. There's even a viewing window where you can watch the cook make your sushi rolls! This is our new favorite Asian restaurant in the hole town. We will definitely be returning this weekend. Did I mention you can choose between Japanese, Chinese, and Thai food?

One of the best Asian cuisine locations I have ever been at. They have a Huge selection and I've eaten here many times over the past few years and never had a bad experience. I could not recommend this place more!!!

The food is very good and the service is fast and friendly. Be sure and try the house Lo Mein, and the Shrimp with Lobster Sauce. They do serve beer and wine. They have a small sushi bar and a very wide variety of food to choose from both Chinese,Thai, and Japanese. I think that the whole family will enjoy this place.

Waitress Ling was very friendly and helpful. Our group was three teenagers and an adult and we were from out of time and knew nothing about this restaurant. The food was incredible and the presentation was soooooooo cool. We will DEFINITELY be back!!!

Great food and friendly people in a cozy, quiet environment. Loved it. Thank you for excellent service and I look forward to dining there again.

Wow! All the food is excellent! This is not a place for those in a rush, this is a sit down visit your family and friends and eat great food while you do so! The staff is extremely friendly! Could possibly be the best asian cuisine and sushi I’ve had to date! My family and I will be back! The sushi here is art! 👏 APPLAUSE! To the Ali staff! The prices are also great.

Family owned restaurant. It takes a little longer but worth the wait for the food. We had Thai rice, general tso chicken and some Sushi rolls and everything was great.

Excellent food friendly staff with decent prices

Love the extensive variety of authentic Asian cuisine and the great service!

I love the Black Pepper Chicken, it's the best I've ever had. The special today was a Hibachi shrimp with Asparagus, it was amazing.

Good sushi at a great price. Very good staff and service.

This is an excellent small asian-inspired cuisine! You can get anything - they have Thai cuisine they have Chinese cuisine and they also have Japanese sushi. Everything is good! Definitely go visit there!

Absolutely the best sushi! Yummy tea and great prices! Can't wait to go there again!Excellent service!

We love Ali, its the best Asian restaurant in mt. Vernon.. Sadly we don't get to eat there as often as we would like.

This is a fantastic little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that serves delicious quality food! Stopped in for lunch, we had egg drop soup and egg rolls for an appetizer, and shared a Szechuan beef with my husband as our main dish. It was delicious!

Very good food at a good price. Service was a little slow this time due to short staffing, but usually pretty fast. Definitely recommend for Chinese, Japanese or Thai food!

The coconut shrimp is to die for! The people who run this restaurant are so nice. If you have room for their creme brulee it's very good.

We have been in here quite a few times lately. I love the food. The service is good. It is ran by a very sweet family. The menu is 6 pages long lots to choose from. Everything is delicious. And if you love hibachi I suggest giving their hibachi a try!

Staff is great and the food is delicious!

Best place for sushi in town!! Especially being a “mom and pop” place- they are outstanding. Everything is fresh and service is good. When they get busy it may take a little while, but absolutely worth the wait!

Food and service was outstanding! Very impressed with the presentation also.

One of my absolute favorite places. We used to frequent their restaurant when it was in Mcleansboro, but now that they've moved we visit them here. Some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet and the best food!

Amazing service, great food, sushi was amazing and in large amount. Overall great experience.

Good food....just not the best oriental food I have had. Ok service, did not refill my drink or ask if I wanted more to drink, it was just water but still.....? Would go back to try the sushi, several people say it is very good. It was my first time, I did Chinese food; chicken with mixed vegetables.

Food is always fresh. Very good overall. So much more to offer than standard Chinese General Tso Chicken that everyone eats. Always try something new when we can eat inside. Very pleased.

Excellent food, so many great choices! Chinese, Japanese, Thai, real Sushi! Great couple that run it.

Really good food made to order, good portion size.

Great food. Fresh hot fast

I love grabbing food from here! Always good!

Great general tso's tofu. Killer presentation.

Small and intimate. Fabulous service. Meal presentations are unexpected and very nice. Easy to find just off Broadway on 27th behind the CVS store. Chinese/Japanese & Thailand cuisines. A "you should stop here" restaurant

Very charming, love the food!

Just passing through Mt Vernon and was lucky enough to stop at this restaurant. Food was excellent. Presentation is top notch. We had the lion roll, General Taos chicken and fried rice all very good. Would recommend to any one.

We found this place thru the Southern Illinois Eats page on Facebook. We arrived at 4:50 pm. It wasnt busy. We ordered a hot sake and water. We also ordered crab rangoon as an appetizer. Our meal was 6 different sushi rolls. There were only about 6 tables being used in the restaurant when we arrived. We did not receive our order until 6:33 pm!!! The wait time is ridiculous. Our waitress told us you can call ahead to have your order ready but for someone who has never been to the establishment thats not known. The sushi was very good but due to the wait time I highly doubt if we will return. An almost 2 hour wait is just a little long in my opinion.

My wife and I decided to try this place out for lunch. All I can say is WOW! The staff is amazing and very nice. It’s a smaller dining area and it gives this place a great feel. The food is Amazing and the presentation of each plate is both unexpected and a treat! This is now my favorite place to eat!

food was great and fresh. great price.friendly.

Great place to eat at! Friendly staff and the sushi is amazing !

The orange chicken is the best I've ever had......and I'm a connoisseur.......

Great food and great service. They work hard to make sure everyone is taken care of. Try the sushi! Love going to Ali.

Nice, quiet and friendly service.Great food

Inexpensive, good quality Japanese, Chinese and Thai cuisine. Family owned and operated. Try the Pad Thai!

This is a great restaurant with the great sushi bar and Chang is a great cook. It might be out of character but I took my wife there after we were married and chain took it upon himself to create a specific delicious dish to her liking. I can assure you we will be repeat customers.Thank you Chang

Staff is very friendly and the food is wonderful. Never had a bad experience!

They have a large variety of food options: Chinese, Thai, and Japanese including Hibachi, sushi, and sashimi options. Beautifully prepared and delicious. I have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. They also have different sakis, beers, and now tiki drinks and other mixed cocktails! They even give you a deal if you pay with cash. Family owned and operated. Nice people. Artistic and delicious food that is very reasonably priced. Come support them.
