Awesomeness!! Fast and food is excellent!!! It is located on Kirkland in front of Walmart.

This restaurant has been closed by the health department 5 times over the last 5 months due to a roach infestation and other critical health violations. It is a risk to your wellbeing to dine here. *The management will defend their 25 years of being in business and accuse reviewers of being involved in some "organized" reviewer ring, but this information is readily available to anyone and 100% true. read more

Closed by board of health for many issues in March 2026, again April 2026 and the third time in May 2026. I went by and the place looked dirty and elected not to try earlier this month. read more

#1 Express China Lee - Closed board of health - Chinese Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The most recent health inspection from 9/22/26 temporarily closed the restaurant due to live roaches INSIDE the flour and rice bins. And it noted this was a repeat violation.... It is shocking and disappointing to me that places like this are allowed to reopen. Please take care of your health and do not go here. read more

I went inside the restaurant to place an order on 07/26/26, and the lady at the front was rude and I felt rushed. I ordered chicken wings and when I got home, it looked like the Wings were refried and extremely dried, was not what I was expecting read more

It's a no for me .... Service was ok ... I had ordered the general Toso chicken with shrimp fried rice it was terrible! literally forcing myself to eat it! Also tried the fried wings horrible. I'd be skipping this place for now on read more

Basic and used to be worth it BUT the portions are much much smaller and the prices are way higher! I know that's happening everywhere but it's not worth it. Go somewhere else. Rip off. read more

Great food and good service! We had General Tso's chicken, Mongolian beef, chicken lo mein, and crab Rangoon. Everything was delicious... the crab Rangoon was a little crispier than I like. But I would go again. read more

I was apprehensive about ordering here because of other Yelp reviews. I ordered through Postmates around 4 PM on a Tuesday. My food arrived fast, fresh, and accurate. The shrimp were all huge. I'm not sure how they keep their prices so low. Even the shrimp in my eggroll was a good size. I will definitely order from here again. read more

I've been on the search for good Chinese in Florida , this place wasn't it. I had the orange chicken , I've had better. I most likely won't be back love the price though. read more

Yo my friend Mark told me about this place yo he said the food tastes like China. When I went to pick up my food everybody inside was Chinese and it really added to the experience so much that when I got home I just watched kung fu movies while I ate my food and it was the best experience ever. read more

I've been coming to this location for 18 years since I moved to Florida. Literally any other Chinese take out has not compared to the taste of their food. Shrimp fried rice & Krab rangoons are my go to. I wish I never moved to Maitland because that 30 min drive for take out is a killer but so worth it!!!! read more

This restaurant are a bunch of crooks. Online my order same to $35. When you call in the order they over charge you. They forgot an item and told me if I wanted to come get it. I refused so they told me they would put it on my next order. Wheni ordered again they said the person who told me that doesn't work there anymore. NOT MY PROBLEM. Do yourself a favor and order from somewhere else. When you try to talk to them they hang up on you. I still don't understand how this place is still in buisness. They are very rude and the food isn't the best. I promise you, the best decision you make is to avoid this restaurant and try something else. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would cuz this place is total CRAP !!!!! 4$ company charge!?!! Plus they forgot to cook my order after waiting 30 mins to go pick up just for them to tell me an additional 10 mins on the food the price she gave me otp was different to what i paid but ehhh they need all the money they can get until they finally get SHIT TF DOWN read more

This Chinese restaurant has very rude cashier now. It's use to be all nice and friendly. Giving you a crazy stare. They charged now for $1.75 just for a freakin honey sauce that was free or charge before. She don't deserve to be in-front of the store because she will pull the store down and push away loyal customers with her nasty attitude. read more

The food is so good! It will not disappoint! However, the chefs in the back and one of the men packing the food are wearing NO masks. But again, the taste and amount of food you get is well worth it! read more

The service is very poor. When placing an order, they told me to wait 5-10 minutes my food to be ready. When I arrived at the store, she told me my food not ready. I waited 35-40 minutes to get my food. and The food did not taste. Very oily, so disappointed, I will not come again read more

Do not order from here! Forget that the quality is terrible, forget that they ignore food allergies, forget that they screw up your order, but they made false charges on my credit card!! My total was supposed to be $23.70. When they delivered, they charged me $31.68! The chicken teriyaki was all gristle, fat, and burned. The wontons in the wonton soup were old and terrible. I specifically stated "no broccoli." There was broccoli in 3 separate dishes. There was a foreign object in one dish. If I could give a negative star rating, I would. If I had a car available, I would have returned it to the store! This is unacceptable! I wonder if I could send them the ER bill if our party had consumed these dishes. I will be disputing these charges with my bank. read more

It's a no nonsense Chinese takeout place. Food is pretty good and they make it quickly. They are busy so they aren't very friendly but who cares about friendly pay for your food and leave. read more

(38/100) That fried rice doe! As far as Chinese delivery goes, this place is about as good as it gets! Seriously, the fried rice is perfect. I slather all kind of sauce on most things I eat and I love duck sauce...but, this rice doesn't need anything. For real, order it. Just do it. I've ordered delivery from China Lee a few times and haven't had a bad experience. They are a bit snippy on the phone and "hold" is just the phone being put down while the answerer does something else. It's understandable though, as I imagine they're getting a ton of calls around dinner time. I hear they are usually busy inside too. The person delivering my food has always been polite and personable. The Krab Rangoons are very good. They are the triangle ones (my favorite) and nice and stuffed. General Tsaos chicken is my go-to. China Lee's is top notch. I have also had an egg roll. I don't love egg rolls-if I did, I would eat these all the time. They're perfectly crisped and great ingredients. I'm also a big Hot n Sour soup fan. China Lee's is pretty good-no complaints. Did I mention the fried rice?? It's probably the best I've had in Florida. Enjoy! read more

It's funny how swiftly good food can transform a new restaurant into a near-staple. After moving into MetroWest, I'd been looking for an inexpensive, delicious Chinese Take Out place. China Lee fits the bill to the letter. I've tried various items from across the expansive (and familiar) menu, and never been disappointed. Not greasy, made swiftly, and cheap ($15 feeds two). As an added bonus, the staff are polite. I suppose that's the only oddity about my new obsession- I was ok with having a bad experience ordering, of the food was up to snuff. Imagine my surprise when I was greeted in a friendly manner. A seriously great option for Chinese Food read more

Who does not like Chinese Take Out? I am talking about the fried, greasy, Americanized version that dots every neighborhood and community. The little place that is tucked away with a gazillion items on the menu that makes your head spin. Or the trifold take out menu tucked under your door. Who is your favorite? I speak of my personal experience. As far back as I can remember, I have always sought out my go to little Chinese take out place. No matter which corner of the world I resided at the time there was always one or more of these little joints that indulge my palate from time to time. Somehow, I have always found a sense of satisfaction after eating from a place like this. I guess that is the definition of one's comfort food. China Lee is tucked along Kirkman Rd in the Super Walmart Plaza. It cannot be seen from Kirkman Rd, you would have to enter the plaza, then look at the line of buildings facing Kirkman Rd as it is on the back side facing the Walmart parking lot. There is a big overhead sign. The setting is a modest few tables and chairs more for waiting, but you can eat there. Order from the paper, overhead, or menu board. The menu board display has specials of the day. General Tsao - chunks of fried chicken in special sauce. I know there is a classic recipe handed down from generations to the most revered of Chinese chefs. Not all versions of that recipe tickle my fancy. Some are either too spicy hot, too salty, too sweet, the appearance of bell peppers makes me cringe, the chicken is often soggy, the sauce is too thick, the sauce is too runny, I can go on and on..... This China Lee's version is my absolute favorite. Yes I endorse it, there! Having eaten this dish for several times over a long period of time I am convinced that this is not a by fluke recipe or technique. Every time that I have eaten this dish here it was an absolute replica of the first time. Consistency at it's very best. The chicken is mouth size bites, crispy freshness, fried to perfection. The sauce is a delicate balance of sweet and tangy with the back hint of heat. Right before you swallow that mouthful, the heat kicks in. The accompanying pork fried rice is fresh, not too crispy, not too soft, nice coating of sauce with ample saltiness. Is there a complete absence of MSG? I am not so sure. If there is, then it is a very minute amount for I can still feel my tongue after eating. This flavor and texture is to my likeness. Maybe the total freshness of food at this place has to do with how busy it is. In all the time I have passed or stopped in, there has always been a crowd. At first, I thought how disorganized. Imagine ordering a pick up and then having to wait for it? Then I went in, I was wrong. People are actually walking in, paying and leaving. There is hardly any wait, even when it is super busy. These guys turn and burn, they crank dishes out before you finish ordering. There is no dilly dally in here. Get in, know what you want order, pay, step aside, pick up food and walk out. Don't stand around there is a line behind you and everyone is clambering for the same great food. Watch out you could get run over, but the General Tsao is worth it. Did I mention, this is my taste, yours could differ? Give it a try and let me know. read more

Your typical Chinese take-out place, Express China Lee restaurant really lives up to its name!! They are super quick with their food orders. You walk in, order, and hang out for 10 minutes. POP! There you go. Done. There are about 4-5 booth style tables here if you want to sit and eat but most people have pre-ordered for take out or have walked-in. My sister usually orders the Fried Chicken Wing Special. It comes with 5-6 pieces of Fried Chicken Wings and a large portion of Fried Rice. The chicken wings are mighty good. Not your classic barbeque wings but still REALLY good! Every time I've tried it, the chicken has always been juicy, never dry. Along with the fried rice, you've got yourself a hearty meal. I'd be surprised if I could finish off one of these. My sister usually saves the other half for dinner. My mom always orders the cooked vegetables. You can't really go wrong with cooked veggies so I will leave it at that. The veggies come cooked with a sauce for flavor. Never fear! The veggies are not swimming in a sea of Chinese sauce. They add just the right amount of sauce. Lastly, I always order a side of egg rolls because how do you eat Chinese food and NOT order an egg roll? Again, you can't go wrong with an egg roll and the ones at China Lee are very good. I've had a few egg rolls at other Chinese joints that taste too much like pork... and not in a good way. The egg rolls here are very satisfactory. It kinda makes me want one right now. Anywho, for quick and delicious Chinese food in the Metrowest/Kirkman area, try Express China Lee. Yum! read more

China Lee Express has had multiple health code violations consistently (most recently 22 tots violations noted on 6/23/15) with a good majority of them being high priority risk. I recommend taking your business elsewhere. Source: FL division of hotels and restaurants database on Orlando sentinels website read more

Ordered delivery online at 11:30am and online it said i paid $28.44 when the food got here i was charged $40. i call to ask why i was and the idiot goes "they charged you for dinner" and hung up, it says very clear lunch is from 11-3 not ends at 11:30. food was 2/10 and cold and they didn't even get the order correct. read more

It is tucked away on the opposing side of the main strip mall facing Kirkman Rd. So you won't see it unless you drive to the back. It has a humble and modest appearance, reminiscent of a small hole-in-the-wall type of place. Don't let their looks fool you, since they have perhaps the best quick chinese food in the city. Cheap, fast, and good. What more could you ask for, honestly? Their lunch special is the bomb, at only $5.40 for a mammoth lunch platter, that I'm never able to finish in one try, always have it bagged to reheat later. This really is New York style Chinese take-out at its best. Who would've thought you could still eat lunch for under $6 (fyi no drink included). The place is small and the kitchen is even smaller, yet they always have at least three cooks frying, chopping, and sauteeing away in the back. The food, as others have said, is an enviable model for consistency and quality, since their plates look identical, and the portions exact, to the same dishes I've ordered in the past on several occasions. Really a great place to eat and kill time, especially if you're on a budget. read more

Fairly typical Chinese to go food. Everything seems a bit overcooked and buried in sauce for my taste. The owner is brusque but efficient. To go orders were filled fairly quickly, and cooked to order. There are four tables inside for dining in. Quite inexpensive. read more

Have started eating here pretty frequently because it is really close to work. My first order was the burbon chicken with chicken fried rice. Both exceeded expectations for Chinese takeout. Have also tried the house friend rice and hot wing appetizer. Both very good. They could be a little more generous when you ask for extra duck and soy sauce, but you can expect quick service and good food. read more

Our new favorite/go-to for cheap and filling Chinese food. I ordered the kung pao shrimp. the shrimp were huge and perfectly cooked. the sauce was spicy without being too much. when I order kung pao at other places, this is what I expect to get. The Rangoons are also wonderfully crispy and filled with delight. I will definitely order from here again. read more

The food is fresh, tastes good and the price is fair. I like sesame chicken, char siu fried rice, fried chicken wings, spring rolls... I often order takeaways and the service attitude is very good! read more

One of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. The guy in the front taking orders was so rude to the gentleman in front of me and myself that it left a bad taste in my mouth I am never coming back here. read more

This place is one of the nastier Chinese spots. It's really dirty on the inside, the food is not usually hot and if it is it tastes old and over cooked. Almost like they've reheated it too many times. I felt kinda sick last time I ate here. Its really cheap so I see why people come here but spend a couple more dollars and hit the Chinese spot off Hiawassee next to Home Depot. You will be much more satisfied. This place is total dirt ball. read more

I work near there and been there many times...today I went and ordered the sweet n sour chicken combo as I always do. I returned home to discover no sweet n sour sauce was not in the container. I called to tell them and they asked me to come back I said I couldn't and that next time would buy me a drink. I said oh really a drink for my meal I can't eat now? They got very aggressive and angry and told me never to come back. I definitely will not. If this was a corporate place I would be writing to the head of their business. read more

Terrible costumer service, the guy that gets the money is the same that makes your food. He get mad with me because I didn't know their Chinese dishes. Place is dirty. read more

I love this place, the people are always polite and if you come there enough they know you by name, their food is quite delicious. Been eating there for 2 years. read more

Do not order from the place. I ordered food to be delivered to me that never showed up. I called them numerous times and each time I tried to cancel they assured me that they were already on their way. I realized after hrs that they were not coming and by that time they had closed I called the next day and she tells me first that I never ordered then she says they did deliver it but I never answered my phone, which is a lie because they were delivering to my office and security take delvery orders during after hours the just never came. Then she tells me if I want my money back that I need to call my bank because they are not refunding I've never been so angry. read more

I ordered from here my last and final time, when i ordered food at 8:30 and received it at 11:05 because the driver got a ticket on his delivery route, at around 10:00 i called to cancel and he said "no u cant cancel its on its way soon".ANYWHO, he arrived not-so-soon later,charged me full price and after he left i opened what i ordered to find it ice cold ( i should have known, right?)....i called them back to tell them to take the food and refund my money and the guy said" no its not my fault he got a ticket".."i cant send him back to you hes already too far"...when only about 3 minutes had passed.sheesh!!...definitely never going back. EVER, thats a promise! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Tonight my husband and I ordered food at 6:39pm and after an hour and 30 minutes went by we decided to call. The man on the phone was extremely rude and told us that he never received our order. We offered to give him the order conformation number to make sure our order gets canceled so we aren't charged. He immediately hung up with no answer. We called back explaining that we understood the situation but we don't want our card charged since online it said that we already ordered. He began yelling that we have to call our bank and cancel the order then and that he can't do anything for us. Now, I have worked in many restaurants and the bank cannot cancel the order, the restaurant has to cancel the order through their system so we don't get charged. This was incredibly unprofessional and we were hung up on a total of three times. Do not go here unless you want to have your money stolen and horrible customer service. read more

Horrible customer service. Poor food quality no bueno. The china lady in the front that is always there gives you attitude and very disrespectful super rude. when you ask about a question . i don't recommend at all. read more

A pretty straight forward Chinese Buffet Restaurant, but a GOOD ONE. You never know because a lot of the buffets are hit or miss. Express China Lee is pretty good, though and the inside is nice and clean. Not bad if you want to get your China buffet on! read more
