How Lee Chinese Restaurant

Ordered take out . Food came nice and hot and accurate. Egg rolls were good . The wontons in the soup 🍲 were kinda a weird texture to me. General tso chicken wasn't bad. Ordered the pepper 🫑 steak 🥩 and got more peppers then anything so that's a lil disappointing. Steak was a little hard to chew. The fried rice was flavorless. I think it might be the worse rice I have had in terms of flavor. It didn't taste like anything when you ate it.

I had high hopes for this place, but it just didn’t compare to my usual choices for Asian food in Squirrel Hill. We were steamed quickly and the service was prompt. We ordered a scallion pancake to start, which was inarguably the best part of the meal. Following our entrees came out almost too quick. I ordered chicken and broccoli which was just okay and lacked flavor in the sauce. My friend had the General Tso’s combo meal. The chicken was decent but the fried rice was mediocre at best. Wouldn’t be my first, second, or third choice in the area.

Total Score: 7.89 Bathroom: N/A Didn’t use the bathroom Customer Service: 3.5/5. The waitresses were pretty nice but they didn’t frequently refill my water and at one point they were just standing there confused staring at us. Ambiance: 3.5/5 It was okay! Not many decorations but the lighting was nice and it wasn’t cramped. Food: 4.5/5 Actually very authentic Chinese food. Rarely do you see it in Pittsburgh but it was really delicious. Sesame chicken was yum and so was all the other food. Something very filling for a change and delicious for a change. Wow: 0.5/1. Wowed by the authenticity of the food! Maybe I’ve been going to orient express too much that this is so much better. Total Score = (CS + 2*AM + 5*FOOD + WOW)/9

I visited based on the Yelp reviews. I was not very impressed. Parking is a feat especially around the 6:00 hour. I parked a few streets down in a residential area which was a short walk and not too bad. How Lee is small and located in a downtown “main” street area. The place has a few tables and some booths. My waitress was attentive and she promptly waited on me which was very nice. The food was plated beautifully but lacking in taste and seasoning. The portion was indeed generous and the dishes are family style. Overall not very impressed with the taste of the food despite the fact that it looked delicious. I ordered the braised tofu and the beef large noodle.

Incredibly delicious!! Food is tasty, hot, and exactly as ordered. I ordered takeout to pick up, which was very easy to do, and was greeted kindly upon arrival. FOOD WAS FAST!!! I did not wait long at all. 12/10 recommend!! I got the chicken and broccoli lunch special, which came with rice and soup (i got wonton), a side of extra sauce (YUM!!!), and an egg roll!!
