“I love your Chinese food, it’s very good and I like your shrimp fried rice and chicken fried rice too, I always order the large portions of your order, very good food, and your very nice and polite to people, so I wanted to give you a good thank you! For everything that you have done for me and everyone else.”
“Awesome local spot, food always delicious, hot and fresh. Cheap and they really hook you up with the portion size! I get the lunch/dinner specials and literally save half for my next meal. Owners have always been nothing but nice to me and they work really hard so you gotta respect that. Gonna be really sad when I have to move away from this neighborhood.”
“2025 update : STILL my favorite place. I have been coming to Lee's for past 4 years. Food tasted better than most. The negative reviews are full of it. I never had a problem with my credit card or anything else. It is a very busy take out. Service is prompt. I have never seen them sitting down ever ! ANYWAYS, a must go to local place.”
“Good bang for your buck. The pic is the Mongolian beef (after I ate some)”
“Thank goodness this place exists. This is your classic Chinese-American take out joint and the food is simply delicious. We ordered two dinner specials and a crab rangoon app - generous portions, hot, fresh, and tasty. Don’t expect any level of “service”; that’s not the point here. This is a mom and pop shop operated by food industry veterans. Just pick up your plate, quit yapping, and enjoy what you ordered because you won’t regret it. Friend chiming in: Regarding the service, the woman is lovely. You get everything you need and neither more or less, perfect in my opinion.”
“So good! Delicious food and the prices are amazing for how much food you get. Tried the Pad Thai twice and really enjoyed it.”
“Carry out only kind of place. They are doing a serious veggie egg foo young here. Never disappoints. Eggroll is top notch. It is the definition of no frills here, but they are doing some surprising work here.”
“Not the greatest experience for my first time. I called for a pick-up order and had a few questions including clarifications about pick-up timing and the kind of egg roll that came with the combination. Once my order was confirmed, she immediately hung up. I then had to call back to actually find out how much my food was. Then, once she told me the price, she immediately hung up again. It wasn’t my favorite customer experience but she did wish me a good day after I picked up my food, so I appreciated that. However, my food was not good. I ordered the shrimp with broccoli dinner special for $10.95, which came with an egg roll. On the phone, she said the egg roll was a combination of beef, shrimp, and chicken. Honestly, when I bit into the egg roll, it had the texture of dried-up mush and it tasted awful. Then, I see my shrimp & broccoli. It was super pale—no brown sauce—like how many other Chinese restaurants I’ve been to serve it. Furthermore, the shrimp wasn’t cleaned and the feces-vein in the back of it was still in there. I had to take that out myself. As for sauce, the shrimp had this glaze-type substance on it but it was super light and really didn’t add much of a flavor because I really just tasted seawater in every bite. There were 6 shrimp in the plate for anyone curious. I didn’t see any reviews or photos of the shrimp in my search before ordering, so I wanted to post this for anyone who is looking for shrimp & broccoli.”
“The lady working the counter today May,31st 2024 at 3:09 PM was extremely rude. Every time she would respond to what we would like to order she was rude and she was very short with us. she wasn’t welcoming at all and she clearly lacks in costumer service. She sits in a chair behind the counter just eating food and watching t.v. When we got our food she gave us our bag, said have a nice day bluntly without eye contact and sat down. I checked my bag for the waters we ordered and all she said was oh and got us the waters that we order…that she would’ve forgotten if we didn’t ask. They also try to tape up all of the prices on the board. The food is over priced and its an inconvenience that you have to buy things separately instead of asking for a side. The food is also not even good for it to be priced like that. I will NOT be coming back. This was a waste of my money and time.”
“Just tried Lee's Wok for the first time. Hidden in the corner of a small strip mall, I'm so glad I found it! I ordered a chicken chow mein in garlic sauce lunch special. Huge portion big enough for two people for only $10! The chicken fried rice is delicious! The egg roll is pretty good. Not greasy and several pieces of shrimp in it. I wish it had a little peanut butter in it. The chicken chow mein is delicious! Loaded with plump crispy Bean sprouts, carrots, baby corn, pea pods and more! I can't wait to come back and try some other items. While waiting for my order a few people mentioned the fried chicken wings were really good!”
“THE BEST CHINESE FOOD I'VE EVER TASTED 3 YEARS AGO...AND STILL IS THE BEST CHINESE FOOD!!! Most Chinese food are lack luster and oily. Not this place. Once you try this place out, all the other Chinese restaurants will be a disappointment. Best value for the portion and quality. I pray this establishment will stay in business for as long as I live.”
