    Mongolian Beef
    Astrida M.

    Christine Lee's is an Asian Fusion restaurant located at the Gulfstream Park, and horse racing is a major attraction there. There is also a casino there. We wanted to see the Christmas lights that were advertised for the entire park. To make a night out of it, we chose Christine's for dinner and the casino for an hour. We ordered a Lycheetini and a Merlot to start with. The Lycheetini was really good , but the Merlot was average quality that upset my digestive system later in the evening. For appetizers, we got the Crab Rangoon, and they were delicious. However, the Pan Fried Pork Dumplings weren't cooked long enough and did not taste right. We tried to send them back, but the server said that's how they are supposed to be. This was not our first time at a Chinese restaurant, and we knew better. After a small discussion, I was able to send my order back, and they took it off the bill. The Barbequed Spare Ribs are advertised as their long-time specialty of the house, so we felt confident ordering a plate of them. Unfortunately, they came out looking burnt, dark black. You can see them in my photos. We asked the server to please bring out a new plate with non-burnt ribs. I'm sure he was rolling his eyes by now, but there is no excuse to serve food that way. By the way, we are very polite and apologetic when we send anything back. Our server said that was how they were made. The same small conversation took place again, and he brought out a new batch that looked and tasted delicious! So much for the appetizers. The main courses were Mongolian Beef and Honey Garlic Chicken. We loved the Chicken, which was cooked perfectly. The Mongolian beef was more average and not as good as other places make it. The Special Fried Rice was made with chicken, pork, and shrimp. It was good. Our bill came to $157.51 for 2 people. They already included 18% for tip and took an "impact fee", whatever that is. Service is very good here. Our server was Yong, who was excellent at his job. No complaints of him at all. He was attentive and pleasant. I would rate him 5 stars. I think that their food items are overpriced for average tasting food. They need to step it up or lower their prices. The competition is out there. Restaurants are popping up everywhere! People want to get out again after Covid. This place was mostly empty. Our reservations were for 6:30pm. It should have been crowded during Christmas week. Parking was nearby in a lot, and there is also valet parking right outside this place.

    Hostess sat us without menus so we were overlooked by wait staff for 30 min. The rice was terrible. The Mongolian beef didn't have much flavor. The chicken skewers had absolutely zero flavor but very salty. Even though shrimp dumplings tasted very bland. I'm pretty sure Kristina Lee would be pissed off and know that her restaurant went to shit. I'm the type of person that hates to complain. But they really need to do better. Personally, I would not come back here. Listen up Christina Lee. You guys need to flavor your food. It's a shame that the rice could be horrible. I did like the atmosphere I'd like the tables I like the chairs. It seems like a place out of the movies but I can't believe how terrible the food was.

    Christine Lee's is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the relaxing and inviting atmosphere sets the tone for a perfect dining experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a family night out, or marking an anniversary, this place has it all. The Beef Mongolian was a standout--perfectly cooked and bursting with rich, savory flavors. --and the ribs were absolutely amazing, tender, and packed with smoky, mouthwatering goodness. Every appetizer we tried was impeccable, crafted with care and packed with deliciousness. To top it all off, the molten Java cake was an unforgettable treat: warm, sweet, and indulgently satisfying. I would have ate one more if I had room in my stomach. What makes Christine Lee's even more one of a kind is its location by the horse racing track, adding a fun and lively element if the races are on. Whether you're there for the food, the ambiance, or the entertainment, Christine Lee's is the spot. Highly recommended!!!

    We went because we had a gift card. It's in a nice area with other shops and things. Server was nice, food ok, I don't see a reason for us to come back. It's definitely overpriced as other reviews say. The cost minus the gift card is probably what you'd get at a regular Chinese restaurant would cost. By the way, the red snapper was pretty fishy tasting.

    I have been wanting to try this place out. I was in the neighborhood and so I finally did. The indoor sitting area looked nice and it was nice and cool. It had beautiful chandeliers. We sat outside. It had a nice view for us. We started with the Volcano Roll. Funny the rolls were plated to resemble a volcano lol. This was delicious. The rice tasted fresh and it had plenty of crab meat. We liked it. The Crispy Duck was good. It tasted great. The skin was nice and crispy. They rolled it up for us in some kind of white homemade pancake. It was good. The Szechwan Fish was also very good. The fish was perfectly cooked. It was a good portion size. It had good flavors. I got fried rice on the side. That was very good also. I personally, I though the price was a little high for the dishes. The gratuity was automatically applied to the bill. The food was good. The service was a little slow but friendly.

    The service was absolutely amazing!!! We had 4 different people come to our table to make sure we ordered, we had drinks, that our food was in order. Impeccable service. Thé food was absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend their homemade egg rolls! Amazing. We loved their pan fried dumplings. Delicious. And their chicken lo mein was fabulous! We cannot wait to go back!

It's sort of shaped like a pizza and it has a good amount of fish and ikura. You know we love Ikura here. It was a table slapper for sure. They also have their own version of hummus which I think (if they tell you to eat more greens this is what they mean, served with crisp flatbread it's like a pillow! Oh and I found out they have a happy hour called 4-5-6-7, everything on this menu is at that range. Oh and they have a josper grill which I had no idea what that was but it looks so cool!. Probably why this anticuchos was so good. Their milanesa they incorpated peruvian corn which I love and of course we had to get the classic duck rice dish, Jarana located in the Abbey of the Aventura is a can't miss!

The Asian hand painted folding paper fans along the walls and the red Chinese New Year lanterns hanging from the ceiling added a nice touch to the subtle decor. We were sat immediately at a booth of our choice. The dining room was empty of customers with an eerie silence. The server greeted us with the standard duck sauce and golden crispy crackers and the traditional metal tea kettle and cups. I slurped down my wanton soup that had plump wanton and not salty thin broth. The General Tso Chicken with fried rice was a huge portion and tasty. The fried eggroll had a crisp outer shell and was dense with veggies, although it seemed more like an oversized spring roll than a traditional Chinese egg roll, but the superb taste overshadowed the petite size. As were eating, I still could not stop noticing that we were the only customers at lunchtime 12pm during the work week. I will take great food and attentive service any day over a loud packed dining room but could this be the end of a strong fifty-six year run to end the China Lane legacy? I sure hope not. As the bill arrived, I noticed a portion at the bottom with suggested tip percentages to merely place a checkmark in a box - not bad, just unique. The gender assigned bathroom was clean with a dominant red door and gray marble-like tile. The toilet rules written on the front of the tank made me chuckle and added some unexpected humor to a traditional Chinese restaurant (see pic and read).
