Lee's Chop Suey

Lee’s Chop Suey, is in my opinion, the best Chinese food in the city. We decided to dine in the first time out of spontaneity and were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant looked fairly empty aside from one couple and a family dining in with us. But there were plenty of food delivery people coming in to get their orders. We thought about getting the food to go but I’m so glad we stayed! The atmosphere feels like you were taken back to the 90s. If you’ve watched Sex and the City, I definitely felt like I was meeting Mr. Big in a hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant. I recommend coming here and getting the egg rolls, BBQ pork fried rice, and the wonton soup. They were my favorites!

Authentic old school chop suey. Chicago style homemade egg rolls (you can tell by the peanut butter binder) and pressed duck (which you can't find anymore)

Got the lunch special. Came with an egg drop soup, egg roll, chicken fried rice, and bbq pork chop suey. An insane amount food for just under $10. While the food was cheap, it wasn't that good. The soup was okay, but the fried rice lacked flavor. It lacked any savory or umami flavors. The chop suey was a new dish for me and I had no idea what to expect. I liked the veggies, but the bbq pork was thick cut ham and had very little resemblance to bbq. The only thing that I would come back for was the egg roll. It was crispy and had some peanut butter in it which was unique.

Came from the bears game and was looking for a late night sit-in-spot to eat at. We came across Lee's Chop Suey, and was it a great idea! Service was fast and wonderful. Food was even better! This might just be my new go to spot even though it is out the way from home. We had the beef chop suey, general tso's chicken, Spicy shrimp fried rice, and eggrolls. Yes, we were hungry! The portions were enormous and for the value it was worth it. Definitely deserves five star rating! A must try!

Don’t have any pictures because I order from this place so often. They never disappoint and the owners and family are so kind. My favorite thing are the egg rolls! You can judge a place based on the rolls!
