Chicken too thick And Too oily Ordered orange chicken--Not orange sauce Food was hot Staff was friendly and informative read more

All dishes very good. The sweet and sour pork was not what we expected. Not a fan of breaded pork. Would rather have plain pork with vegetables in a sweet and sour sauce. read more

Food is very good the 2 workers that work there are super nice and chill and respectful. Love the teriyaki chicken so delicious definitely recommend. read more

We LOVE China Lee. Orders are always correct, customer service is on point and food is delicious.

If you enjoy veggies and seafood, then this unique drive-thru-only spot is worth it. Their quality of meats, however, is just not good at all. And unfortunately, the most common Chinese food staples, such as Vegetable Soup, Spring Rolls, or Egg Rolls, are very disappointing. The service is good, and the pickup window is fast and efficient. All things considered, it's acceptable and convenient food. read more

Mongolian beef and vegetable lomein were delish, but the pork fried rice was ok. I will def go back

This place use to be okay. I say that because it was sometimes worth settling for. That is no longer true. 1) Food Quality is substandard bordering on the piss-poor. Our most recent experience resulted in foul smelling fried rice that must have been re-fired 3-4 times over. The chicken was slimy and had gristle. 2) Pricing has gone up, demanding your quality standards take a precedent. $40 dollars was paid for inedible garbage. 3) I would not recommend this establishment to anyone nor will I be spending my hard earned money there again (.) read more

Had kung poa chicken and the chicken was as very dry. Not good at all. Plus didn't know what pork fried rice was. Really

Ordered two dishes and one was pretty good, but the other had a burnt plastic taste. Probably would've been great too if that didn't happen.

I have eaten here several times in the last 2 years and I've come to the same conclusion. this is a good place for a snack. If you want some good egg rolls or fried rice you will likely be happy. If it's an entree you want probably not so much. The online menu on their website is completely inaccurate, it lists many of the dishes being served by the pint or the quart. The person answering the phone said they haven't made pint-size servings for "Years" so I ordered quarts of Beef Chop Suey and Cashew Chicken. You do get tons of vegetables but the Beef, Chicken, and Cashews were very lonesome indeed. Also lacking unfortunately was flavor of any kind. It was super bland. The final surprise was the menu-priced food on their website totaled 31 dollars but since it's so old and inaccurate I got clipped at the window for 45 bucks. FAIL. Not satisfied. read more

This is definitely one of the best Chinese food. I've had Up North and the most authentic. The service was great, and the older gentleman at the window in the drive-through was very nice. read more

Egg rolls are the best in town, and they come with a sweet and sour sauce that is heated up so if you think to cool those egg rolls down with the sauce...you are out of luck. Mouth burning goodness unless you have patience. I never do. They are very matter-of-fact. Some take that as rude... but they are never rude. So.. if you need pleasantries to feel satisfied... well, sorry, this isn't the place. But, with continued patronage and good tips, every now and again you get a big thank you from the patriarch and sometimes... near the new year, a free calendar. The food is very consistent. It won't change each time you visit. These folks work hard and are there ever day they are open (not open Tuesdays). read more

Consistently good food and the service has always been great. I love their sesame chicken and lo Mein. Prices are consistent with any other Chinese restaurant in the area. read more

Have been going there for years, when we could still sit inside, the food was good. Not so anymore, last take out was overpriced, chicken was poor quality, got a ton of rice, paid extra for crunchy noodles that were stale. read more

Typical takeout place. Came here during COVID so no dine in but it did look like they had some seating. Ordered Mongolian beef with fried rice. The fried rice tasted pretty good, beef was slightly chewy and the sauce was pretty good. Egg roll was not bad. It was a decent dinner, hit the spot. read more

ordered 4 lunch specials all different dishes and 3 shrimp egg rolls and 3 chicken egg rolls everything was tasting great

Every other review is garbage!! Great Egg Rolls, super clean and very hard working owners!! Tried the General Tsos so far it was a 7/10 cannot wait to explore their menu! read more

Very disappointed they are closed on Tuesdays. Just moved to Traverse City and wife is very picky on new places to eat especially chinese. We tried one place and it was terrible so wife wanted to give up finding a place here. I went through all the places in Yelp to prove to her we could find a place. Got up first thing and went straight here at 10:30am and they were closed. Yup, closed on tuesdays.. what buisness is closed on Tuesdays? This makes it hard to rate because I wasn't even able to try the food. read more

clean. ok food. seems mostly geared for take out but they do have 10 small tables. Sesame Chicken Combo, with an extra spring roll and a pop was just under $10. Included chicken, egg roll, and rice. Plastic silverware and a cooler of beverages. No wait staff. read more

See all

I ordered Schezwan Beef extra hot with Lo Mein instead of rice. Let me start with the good: The Lo Mein noodles were excellent. They were perfectly cooked, and the taste is what I'd expect. The portion size was an adequate amount for the amount of veggie/beef provided. The sauce itself was standard Schezwan, nothing to write home to Mom about... pretty much what I expected. The absolute best part of the dish were the broccoli florets. They were cooked very tender.... a hint of crispness without being raw in any way. The bad: when I order extra hot, I have a certain expectation. Ordering spiciness is admittedly dicey business. What one person calls hot, is another person's ketchup. That said, when I order Extra hot on a menu that already shows a hot pepper next to the dish, at the very least I expect to start sniffling in my nose. What I ordered wasn't remotely hot. Remember, I ordered extra hot.... I was very disappointed. I am glad I own Sriracha chili sauce at home to help spruce it up... but I was bummed. The ugly: The meat. yuk. I know Chinese restaurants pretty much follow the same source for their ingredients, but come on. When I order beef, I'd like it to have the texture of well... Beef! what a concept? When China Lee came into town I was hoping... just hoping that we'd have a departure from sub-par beef most Chinese restaurants use. The texture is somewhere between rubbery gristle and bologna. Chunked and Formed is not what I want to think of when I eat a $10.00 meal. I'd rather pay $2.00 more for a dish to get meat that at least looks like it came from a factory farm, that one that came from a factory. China Lee lies directly between Work and Home, so I'll take another try with another meat dish. I really was impressed with the Broccoli which considering how busy the place was on a Sat night is really hopeful. But the beef? I think not. read more

China Lee is a basic strip mall Chinese restaurant. The food is very fresh, and the owners are at the counter. The vegetables are fresh and tge tea is free. Great for carry out. Worth a bit extra drive from the place on 14th or South Airport. read more

Went here tonight for dinner. We decided to eat in the restaurant there are a couple of tables there but mostly take out. Very clean restaurant. I ordered the Mongolian beef combo which came with fried chicken rice and an egg roll. The spice was just right on the Mongolian beef and the rice was very good and also the egg roll was good. My wife had a noodle soup. They have complimentary water or hot tea if you eat it. read more

China Lee - Wall - Chinese Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

I hate starting a review like this but this place has the worst customer service I've experienced in a long time! The food was subpar and they up charge you on everything. The only water option is bottled and gross oil with chili flake hot sauce is an additional $1. I definitely will not be back! The front of the restaurant appeared clean and the owners young son who was hanging around was really polite. read more

most flavorless meal i've ever had. bad bad food. nothing good to say. tried to eat it and had to give up

Slow service, poor customer interaction. Messed up our order twice now... And that's after waiting 45 min for our food. Oh yea and I'm sure they're violating some child labor laws. read more

I love their food. It's usually great but I haven't had a chance to go in quite awhile. I waited in the pick up window line for over 45 minutes only to finally get home and no sauce for my boneless chicken. So disappointing. read more

I occasionally work in TC so I like to try different area restaurants to support local businesses. Today I tried China Lee because it was open and I was in the mood for Chinese. I called ahea for a takeout order and it was ready within 10 minutes! I just visited the drive thru and they had it for me. I got a decent size chicken with broccoli and hot and sour soup for only $10 and it was DELICIOUS. It tasted real as opposed to the fake-tasting, cookie-cutter food you sometimes get. And the sauce was seasoned perfectly. read more

We have been craving something for weeks and couldn't figure out what. We decided to order from the chef's specialty and ended up deciding on the Happy family kit it. One is enough to feed three people if you don't over fill your plate. My husband is taking the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. We called and orders and it was done in 10 minutes. The woman at the window was very friendly and getting our food into our car was fast. We will definitely be going again. read more

Poor customer service, won't tell you the price when you order over the phone. You get there and they want you in and out, no time for courtesy apparently; not even so much as a "hello" or "welcome". Just straight to business. Likely won't go there again. In-store price doesn't match their online menus, so we were short $8 to pay for our order. Was not impressed with the food. read more

Stopped in for lunch and ordered moo goo gai pan. The food was not great and not horrible and the tables were clean. I wouldn't order this dish again but might try a different one next time and would order to go. read more

Food is great. Staff seem a bit rude/blunt at times but that doesn't take away from the flavor. I come here a lot whenever I want a nice hot meal but I don't have time to make any, ordering on the phone is always very quick as well. Great for takeout. read more

The Boneless Chicken was not very good because of the sauce and the egg rolls were more full of air than food.

I had the orange chicken special plate (7$ something) and an order of the cream cheese wontons (3.99). Both were alright. I liked that the chicken had chunks of orange rind in it, that was tasty. Food is definitely geared towards takeout, as another reviewer mentioned. read more

My favorite Chinese restaurant in Traverse City. Love the egg rolls and wontons! Only downfall to why they received 4/5 is because the employees don't smile. Makes me uncomfortable. read more

Great service, quick and awesome food, Never had to wait over 10 minutes for my food and it's always piping hot. Not much of a sit down restaurant but that's not what I would use it for anyway, read more

Not the most friendly interaction seemed like we were bothering host from playing on his phone, food was fresh but brought out separately

China Lee is, in my opinion, the best place in town to get Chinese take-away. In particular, they have some of the best vegetarian dishes around. The General Tso's Tofu is wonderful. I am also thoroughly impressed with the veggie fried rice. It is filled with large pieces of real veg (not frozen little nubs). The staff are very friendly too! read more

Terrible food, ordered nearly $35 and ate a couple of bites, then threw it out. I'm not sure if the chicken is real, because it weighed nothing and the texture was like a slimy, chewy sponge. I was highly disappointed and will not be back, nor will I recommend it. Also their website says they're open 7 days a week, as do their business cards, however, in actuality they are closed on Tuesdays. read more

Good food. Quick. Lots of it! Orders are always correct. Owner and son are always very nice. He does such a great job for about 10 years old! Highly recommend for take out or eat in. Very clean place. read more

First the customer service was horrible. When is ordered they refused to speak a kick of decent English so I couldn't understand them. On top of that whatever meat they put in their dish is not real. I got a steak and noodle and there was some chicken in it and it did not taste like chicken. I would avoid this place at all cost. read more
