Yummy! Lee was very nice and helpful. I highly recommend the Crispy Chicken! It’s spicy and delicious. Affordable. They are closed Mondays. Ask Lee for suggestions if you don’t know what to order.

I was looking for a new Chinese restaurant, as our usual favorite place is closed on Sundays. I read the reviews on Unilocal,and thought I’d give this place a try, since it had received 4 ½ stars. I called at 7:15p on a Sunday to place a carry out order. I ordered the sesame chicken and tried to substitute chicken fried rice for steam rice, but it was unavailable; however I was then able to place an separate order for chicken fried rice?(no big deal). I also placed an order of crab rangoon. The lady taking my order, asked me 3 times throughout the order(interrupting me each time) if i could come pick it up now because they were closing soon, even though they advertise online being open until 8:30pm on Sundays. My husband picked up the order and brought it home promptly, as they said it would be ready in 10 minutes. We were so disappointed! The chicken in the chicken fried rice, was grey colored and very fatty(obviously very poor quality meat). The sesame chicken was almost chalky tasting, not sure if it was because it was fried much earlier in the day and then re-fried, but it tasted rather old and pretty disgusting. The only thing that was appetizing, was the crab rangoon, which was obviously freshly homemade. But honestly, how hard is it to screw up crab rangoon? I cannot believe they let food like this leave the kitchen! I know it was close to closing time on Sunday, but I cannot imagine serving food like this to customers and charging for it. Our bill was roughly $ 25, much more costly than our favorite regular place, and not even close in freshness and flavor. I will not be returning! If you are looking for a good Chinese food, try China Express, it’s much better!

I feel bad for giving Lee’s a 3 because it was definitely a strong 4 star place. I knocked a star off due to we were there during the lunch menu time but charged regular menu price for the sesame chicken. I assumed a person didnt have to say lunch sesame chicken… she could have asked since she was the owner. Very nice lady and had wonderful service but come on! Crunchy chicken was very good with the right amount of heat. Only problem was my chicken was very hot in temp but the broccoli had some cold spots in it. I would have also liked the chicken to have been a little crispier. The sesame chicken was good also with BIG chunks of chicken but broccoli was the same way. Overall the food was a 4 but would rather get it from Golden Kitchen still. Sorry just my opinion.

Do yourself a favor and eat here and dine in. It is awesome on all fronts. Very nice owners. Service was great. Very fresh and homemade. The Szechuan pork was like heaven in my mouth. Its a small place and a definitely a mom and pop. And that’s why its so good. If you don’t get that than stick to wackdonalds.

Food is probably the most authentic you’ll find outside of a major metro’s chinatown. Staff is super friendly.

Great food at a great price! Fresh vegetables and fresh-made sauces separate this place from the generic, faceless, soy-sauce-heavy Chinese places that are common in the area. If it’s not spicy enough, there are hot peppers available to add to it. The owners are extremely accommodating and will make it how you want it. Try the Chef’s Special Chicken. It’s very crispy and has a nice ginger sauce. If you don’t want something deep-fried, then the garlic chicken is always a solid choice. If you like bad cookie-cutter buffet food, then you may be disappointed with this high-quality stuff.

Semi-authentic Chinese food served with a side of care and passion. I went with a friend and we started with the Eggdrop Soup and Crab Rangoons with Egg Rolls. These were quite generic and unnoteworthy. We ordered the Mushu Pork(Chinese burritos) and the Three Treasure Delight. The Mushu Pork wasn’t so bad, a bit bland without the hoisin sauce. The inside had a bit too much egg for my liking. The Three Treasure Delight on the other hand was quite delightful. The dish had a variety of components: shrimp, scallops, water chestnuts, baby bamboo shoots, and assorted vegetables. If I were to go again, this would be a repeat dish. The menu is actually quite impressive for a place of that size. Some other items that seemed enticing are the Mongolian Beef, Crispy Chicken, and Crispy Shrimp. The menu covers multiple Asian cuisine from Taiwan, Hunan, and Sze Chuan. Another great thing that you will find here is a tremendous amount of ownership radiating off of Mrs. Lee as she brings out the food. The reason why I docked off two stars is more because of the interior. The seating area is very small, probably can only fit 15 people max, definitely want to opt for take-out if you plan on eating here.

I had the General Tso’s Chicken, takeout, the first time I visited. It was good, but not quite as spicy as I like it. I ordered it extra spicy the second time I had it and it was much better. Overall I’ve had a very positive experience and look forward to trying more of their menu.

Great food, great atmosphere, great owners. Passionate about their food. Sauces are home-made and ingredients are quality. Sure, it may be typical American-Chinese food, but the fact that the owners cares so much matters and is reflected in their food.
