China Lee - 64. Chicken Broccoli with Garlic Sauce - Chinese Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Great place for take out. The owners are super nice and the food is consistently good.

The food was great!! Hot and fast! We ordered hot and sour soup and egg drop soup. Both were good but the h/s soup was a little better probably because it had more flavor. All of our dishes met our expectations but the General Tso's Tofu exceeded our expectation. The other dishes we ordered were chicken lo mein, Mongolian chicken, beef with broccoli ( the beef was very tender) and shrimp fried rice. It was a take out order and they accidentally forgot the shrimp fried rice. When I came back to get it they gave us an order of Crab Rangoon which was delicious with a generous amount of dipping sauce. We will be back! read more

China Lee is the worst Chinese food I've ever eaten!!! Save your hard earned money, and go anywhere else to eat!! I was given something I didn't even order; and it tasted awful. The large beef fried rice was $11.95, it had about 5 pieces of beef init. I ordered another dish, lo mein noodles with beef and mushrooms; I didn't get any beef, no mushrooms, and what they did give me was onions and noodles for $14.95!!!! Seriously, I threw the entire order in the trash, that's how bad it was!!!! read more

China Lee was our late night bite choice & it was delicious! We opted for take out, but there is a cozy dining area to enjoy your eats. Our food was served up quickly with a smile. The lomein was amazing! I chose the vegetable, my son also loved the beef lomein. The portions were massive! We had plenty of leftovers and giggled about how we could eat it again for breakfast. Be sure to check out China Lee when in West Knoxville! read more

Ok. Some of THE BEST Chinese in Knoxville and (I'm super picky) but OMG. Fresh. Hot. Good portions. Clean. Service is great nice and professional. Not a great dine in place but that is an option. Just simple and cozy. They will be our go- to for Chinese from now on. read more

We're here at China Lee. The ambience is good serves good fast very friendly and food is also good too. There we go.

During an impromptu trip to Knoxville, I had ordered China Lee through DoorDash, knowing it could be a hit or miss. I ordered the beef and broccoli dish as well as egg drop soup. I've eaten at a lot of Chinese places before but this one had one of the best beef and broccoli dishes I'd ever eaten. It was perfect consistency and temperature, as well as plenty of ingredients to ensure you get full! The egg drop soup I heated up later and it was delicious as well. I will definitely order again next time I stop through. read more

I've always enjoyed the veggie lomein, but tonight I tried the General Tso's tofu, and it was amazing! They bread their tofu so the sauce sticks to it. 10/10. My partner is not vegetarian, and he enjoyed the chicken, lomein, and egg roll as well. read more

The food is good, but I am not sure if it is authentic. The service is quick. I have never sat and dined in, but the people who do are always quiet. My favorite is the orange chicken and the lo mein. They give you pretty nice portions when considering the price. Super cheap and close to my house read more

Standard takeaway Chinese. If you are in a hurry, don't feel like cooking, and are starving to death, it's pretty good.

Great food at very fair prices. Restaurant is a little out of the way for us, but the trip is worth it. The staff was very friendly and helpful as the menu items are a little different than most-at least in the naming of the menu items. All in all, a great experience! read more

Andy and Peggy will be the nicest you meet. They are hardworking. Their food is yummy. The prices are fair.

Crab Rangoons had no crab or imitation crab in them. Chicken lomein was mostly cabbage and red onion, few bits of chicken if that. Sesame chicken was just salty or soy sauce tasting. Won't order from them again. read more

They have the best sesame tofu & spring rolls! & the portion sizes are big. I was told there is no honey in the sesame tofu sauce and no meat or eggs in the spring rolls, so they have good vegan options staff is friendly and quick. The plain and veggie fried rice does not have egg. 10/10 read more

Best Chinese food! Just like New York or Philly Chinese food that you get their China towns! This place is the real deal!

My nephew and I have been regulars here every Sunday. The food is exceptional and the flavors are the bomb! We have tried different Chinese dishes and all were very tasty! read more

This place has some really good Chinese food! I just wish they'd hire someone to pluck the damn feathers off the chicken wings! That's all I ask read more

I have tried the China Lee take out twice now. The price is fair, portions are plentiful, but taste and quality are average. Its not bad, just not very good. We picked up 5 entree's and none of us finished the leftovers. The egg rolls are crispy and better than average, the hot n sour soup...I'll pass on next time. Location is less than 2 miles, so Ill probably give it a 3rd try when I'm in a hurry, but will not be my go to option. Knoxville has several Chinese/Asian to go options. My regular supplier of this delicious cuisine, changed ownership and has gone way down hill. So I'm on the hunt for a replacement. Unfortunately China Lee isn't it. read more

Absolute hidden gem of a restaurant. The employees are very nice and understanding, and the food is to die for. I ordered the Orange Beef combination (fried rice and egg roll.) The orange beef was covered in a delicious, moderately spicy, citrusy sauce. And the beef itself? Perfectly cooked. I can not begin to imagine how good the orange chicken must've been. The fried rice was great. It was pork fried, which added another layer to the flavor profile. The egg roll was an egg roll, though a pretty good one. I'm not a huge fan of egg rolls in general though. On the wall, they claim to have the best dumplings, and they're right! The sauce is, if you can you believe it, MORE delicious. Highly recommend if you have a craving for delicious food! read more

Consistently lousy food. I've ordered three times out of convenience, with hope they'd get it right. They always disappoint. Last time I ordered House Fried Rice. Almost no meat of any kind, and the rice tasted stale. read more

Its take-out, its fills the craving and they are super quick! My fiancé love ordering ahead and picking it up just minutes later. Its a fantastic very average Chinese food place! read more

Really just a middle of the road place. The food is always accurate and pretty good. Not amazing but not bad. I wish I could give them 3.75 stars since the food is decent and they are always quick in their preparation and the staff is friendly. read more

Best Chinese in area. Take out only bc of covid so you can distance. Clean. Rangoons are soooo sweet. The breading they use on fried dishes is great crisp and delish. They use way to many mushrooms in the veggie lo mien lately. read more

Almost 11pm and looking for something to eat other than McDonald's and China Lee came to the rescue. One of the only decent restaurant open late on Sunday night. I ordered the ginger shrimp combo, my husband has the beef and broccoli combo and Small chicken fried rice for my daughter. I didn't expect much but the food was actually very good and flavorful. I was impressed and equally satisfied. The customer service was great. Although we came in close to closing, the staff were friendly and accommodating. We even got a free 2018 Chinese calendar. From the set up, it looks like they offer a lunch buffet. I will definitely come back. Good food, good staff and most importantly very inexpensive! read more

Ordered through Door Dash because I was at a Hotel. Tired from traveling all day and just needed something to eat. Its always a crap shoot when ordering out when you're not familiar with the area. The food got here in an orderly time and that was great right? No not really, because there was no utensils.Was I supposed to eat it with my fingers. I called the business and they said well the door dash driver was supposed to put that in there. I'm sorry but I really don't suppose that the driver was going to bag up the food and attach the receipt. Come on people just admit you screwed up. So the most basic of things was overlooked and they didn't care just a Oh so sorry call door dash. How RUDE! So I had to get dressed go to the front desk and ask for utensils. Luckily they did have some of course. At least the hotel was accommodating. I would never order from here again! read more

Love this little place. we are here at least once a week during the winter. I always order the food but take home extra soup for cold days. we always joke that we have so many of the take out containers we need to bring them back for refills. I love its a mom and pop place, the food is always good. Cant go wrong and haven't found a better place. We are very lucky to have them so close to home. love it. read more

We've ordered from here several times and have not had a bad experience yet. Food is always fresh and tasty, and staff is always friendly and helpful. Great job! read more

Delicious little mini buffet. My daughter had the seasame chicken. It was all delicious. Clean with friendly service. read more

Its just a basic walk in chinese placed place in a nice residental area. Its nothing to brag about. My noodles were a tad bit salty but it was still eatable. They had great prices and it was clean. My only problem is that they had like 4 people behind the register and no one greeted us when we walked in, Their attitudes were dry. I also think there was an english barrier about where is the menu and the guy just starred at my friend. My son and my friend enjoyed their food although my friend did mention there wasnt enough curry sauce on her chicken curry dish. read more

On here, they claim they do delivery but when I called, they denied that they do delivery. If you don't do delivery, then don't say that you do on your website! You're just confusing people! read more

Best egg drop wonton soup I've ever had. Beef is by the chunk and not thinly sliced. Staff is friendly and courteous. I visit at least once a week. Delicious!!! read more

Bring your own drink. They will grin while telling you they ONLY have bottled drinks. No tea or water. They then charge an OUTRAGEOUS price for a frickin 16 ounce, NOT EVEN 20, bottle of water! Then their lunch special does not even include a frickin egg roll OR soup. The food is just meh at best. Its not terrible but it certainly is NOT good. I would only eat here if you have a short lunch break and work nearby if that gives you an idea of what I think of the food. Since there are no drinks there really is no service to speak of other than the lady clanking pans around while you eat in the silent restaurant (no music or background noise of any kind). So in summary, if you are tired of eating mcdonalds and want chinese and have to go to this place because of your location expect one notch above anything being bad. read more

Went here the other night after work since they were close. The Plaza was dead and I thought they were closed, but no they were open. Walking in its spacious and has a buffet table (Guess this is used during the day or earlier at night) as well a some tables. I ordered a General Taos dinner and a Kung Pao dinner as well as a side of white rice and a soda. The dinners included fried rice and an egg roll. Within 15 min I had my food and was on my way home. Both dinners we got were suppose to be spicy, but neither my boyfriend or I thought they were spicy. I actually think it could have been kicked up a little more, from a 3 to a 8. Other then that they were both really good and the egg rolls were hands down a favorite. The servings were big enough to have left overs. Overall we were really impressed how good everything was, best we have had yet since moving here. The total was $21.06 which I thought was a great deal for 2 dinners, a side of rice which was huge and a soda. They do have lunch specials and we hope to try them again soon. read more

I've been here several times for takeout but finally tried the lunch buffet. I arrived a little before noon and the placed looked kinda empty, which made me think there may be a better place for lunch. The buffet is small, none of those weird little dessert cakes that all the other Chinese buffets have. Ask for your soup, it is included. Boy, is the food fresh and fantastic! Their seafood casserole with the krab and cheese was the best I've ever had. Generally, you take your own dirty plates to the bin the the back, which is ok. The place is packed full during the work week lunch hours, which made me think they must be consistently awesome for a cheap Chinese buffet. I'll be back again and again. Oh, they have great Singapore Rice Noodles!!! read more

When it comes to Chinese takeout - there can be no doubt that this place is AS GOOD as it gets. We have eaten here numerous time (I always get the General Tso chicken, of course) and my wife always gets the crab Rangoons. Service great - food great - water tastes good. cha-ching - you have a great Chinese takeout. read more

I love China Lee. They are all around great Chinese food restaurant. I wish they had duck and char siu? It's basically Chinese style bbq. Their ribs are a good idea of what char siu is but wish there was more variety of it. I've tried lotus garden and it's okay, zhu garden is pretty flavorful...but for pricing and quality China Lee is great. read more

Best Chinese food in Knoxville, end of story. I used to live nearby, but I drive from Corryton now rather than eat anywhere else.

I got the Mongolian beef combination (pictured) and my boyfriend got the sweet and sour pork combination. The pork fried rice tasted like it had been frozen for a long time and the vegetables in it looked like they were nearly dehydrated. The sweet and sour sauce was more water than sauce. My Mongolian beef was more onions than beef and the beef itself, tasted like jerky. The pork for the sweet and sour was more batter than pork. And, once we got home (we ordered takeout), we saw that the soup we ordered, wasn't in the take out bag. Overall, not somewhere I would go back to. It's no wonder the employees (who were sitting in the dinning area, bored without any other customers) looked at us like we were crazy when we walked in. read more

Last night I went to China Lee and ordered a sweet and sour sauce meal. When I open the sauce, a ant crawled of the sauce. Immediately threw it away. I was disgusted and I'm never going to visit that establishment again. I highly recommend you avoid, or at least be careful when you visit this place. read more
