This was a delicious and satisfying meal. The portions were generous and well priced. They were more than happy to replace the meat in the sesame chicken with fried tofu to make it vegetarian, and OMG, it was bonkers good. The tofu was perfectly crispy and soft inside and the sesame sauce was addictive. I highly recommend this spot for vegetarians because you can make almost any dish vegetarian. The service was also incredible - there was only one waiter working, but you would think there were four. The restaurant was bustling and he was bombarded with takeout orders, but he calmly handled everything efficiently and was so helpful and nice. read more

Dah Lee Restaurant - Sesame tofu - Chinese Near Me - Ronkonkoma, New York

Lived in ronkonkoma and now another town, food was always good till i had drivers complaining about tips. As if the price wasnt rediculous already they forgot 2 Items. Usually i wouldnt call and complain. But after having another driver complaining about a small tip even after messing my order up again, i will never come back here ever again. Mind u i live a few minutes away... another friend had the same experience and dah lee also charged their card the next day for missing an item in there order without notifying... sketchy place and they lost a valuable customer. read more

I ordered vegetable dumplings and they brought me pork. I brought it up and they just argued with me. They told me that they would show me the packaging. I told them I don't want to see a package, I want vegetable dumplings. They didn't correct the problem and I didn't eat them. They still charged me for them. The other dish was steamed vegetables and it came with hair it in. This place still charged me full price. read more

My girlfriend introduced me to dah lee, and I'm glad she did. Everything that I have had from Here has been great. The to-go food is hot, and we have not had any issues with our orders. read more

I been coming here for the past year. Food was good. I didn't bring it to their attention I don't think I need to. If 2 different dishes has 2 different bugs they already know they have a big problem. I got chicken and veggies and found what looked like a basement cricket leg in it. My wife was asleep but when she woke up I told her so she proceeded to inspect her chicken and broccoli. Right on top of a piece of roast pork clear as day was a little roach. I didn't call them or go back to request a refund. I will never go back because that shit is gross read more

Cream cheese wontons smelled and tasted rancid. We ordered vegetable lo mein for a vegetarian and they gave us pork lo mein with no veggies. Threw out the food. read more

Discovered this place a year ago ( I'm not from the area) but it's a great old style Chinese restaurant you just don't see around anymore because everyone's gone "Fusion". I'm glad they're still original. Food was delicious especially the Wonton soup! Broth has flavor. And it's hard to find a place that offers wide crunchy noodles. My only criticism is the dining area could use a facelift. A bit dated. read more

Quality of food has definitely changed. Used to be the best Chinese in town and my last experience was pretty awful.

DELICIOUS FOOD! It's not busy but should have more people. It does look old but would definately come again. If you want good chinese food for a good price, come here. read more

Dah Lee, really? Even the water was bland. Wished with all my heart this place would have been the shit. But it's not. Not good food. Egg rolls bland, fried rice bland, sauces bland, chicken bland, vegetables bland. There is officially no good Chinese restaurants in ronkonkoma. Damn! read more

Not bad, pretty good for Chinese and great customer service. I walked in and that place has been there since I moved to ronkonkoma in 1981. So, I did the normal, egg drop wanton mix soup test & it was COMPLETELY FRESH. Velvet smooth. Great balance! The shrimp toast WAS NOT greasy at all. Two other staples to try are fantail shrimp & The fresh egg rolls. Every time I've eaten here I've been presently surprised! Fried rice, also excellent! I had mine with shrimp. Let me inset this delicious tidbit, the shrimp in the lo mein was larger than other take out chinese places! Egg foo young was terrific. This place is now going to be a stop every time I land in NY to visit my family home. Try the wonton egg drop soup, it's amazeballs! I am a chinese take out addict and I know how to feed my addiction! I cannot wait to keep trying new and new stuff!! read more

Dah Lee Restaurant - The delicious wonton egg drop religious experience - Chinese Near Me - Ronkonkoma, New York

Love the food at Dah Lee! Always tasty and fresh. The employees are always pleasant. It's our favorite Chinese restaurant.

I used to come here on a regular basis. The food was ok but noticed since 2020 the quality of the product has decreased. I work very close to this location and decided to give them another chance. I placed my order online and did not see an area to request white meat chicken. I wrote my request in the comments. The owner actually called me up to tell me that he couldn't fulfill my request. When I mentioned I had gotten white meat chicken there before, he told me that wasn't the problem. He said white meat chicken is $1.00 more and how was he gonna charge me? He then laughed. I was without my car at work that day, we had a pretty bad storm. I was counting on this delivery. It isn't my fault they don't have that listed. If he wouldn't have said the thing about the extra $1 and it being such a big deal then whatever. The fact that this guy made such a stink about $1 when there should be an option to order that way, turned me off. I told him don't worry about the dollar and to cancel the entire order. Rather than losing a dollar he lost a $14 dollar order. He also lost a customer. I will never go back there. Due to the misunderstanding and that fact that he doesn't have a way to order that way set up, it would have been nice if he would have said he would fix it so I could be charged appropriately next time etc. But he clearly doesn't care about his customers. There are plenty of other Chinese places to go to. read more

Portion size got very small. Order pork chow fun use to come in large rectangle container now comes in small round lunch size container but still $9.00. They lost a good customer for being cheap. never again read more

I've been going to this restaurant for 7 years and order about 2 times a week. I was 45 cents short on my order and they gave me a big problem about it read more

I have been going to this restaurant for about a year. They have always had the best food till last night 1/17/2020. I placed a $50 order and was shocked that the food was subpar. I noticed that the owner was not his normal joyous self and seemed distant and not happy. I ordered Shrimp toast and when I got home I had deep fried toast minus any shrimp at all and very small. I also ordered 2 orders of fried dumplings that were so small and had no taste plus only a half a small container of sauce for them. We ordered also house special Egg Foo Young and it tasted burned not good at all. I may give this place one more try because they are usually the best in the area. But I may not. Place never seems to have many people there except a few locals that drink at the bar. read more

My family used to go to Dah Lee when I was just a kid - thats how long this place has been in business! The establishment is a stand alone brick building, nothing has changed since the 90s or even earlier. We recently rediscovered this place and decided to give it a whirl again.. everything is tasty! Boneless ribs have NO fat on them, chicken and broccoli is always packed in the container and super delicious with thicker chunks of meat, hot and sour soup is SPICY and a bit thicker than other places which i really enjoy, steamed dumplings have SO much flavor... definitely one of the best Chinese spots locally and we will continue to return. read more

Excellent traditional Chinese restaurant with quality food at a reasonable price. My go to place since the eighties.

Dah Lee Restaurant of Church Street is a fine place for a quick glass of the spirits: Dewars, rocks. And Crab Rangoon. They have a designated cocktail lounge with a bar that sits about eight, a great scene with the locals picking up their take-out orders. The food is pretty good too, it used to be my regular spot when I lived in these parts. My companion was impressed, and told the man at the bar: "Now that I know you are here, I'm gonna come here again. . .. " Ha! read more

I really like this restaurant. I always order the tofu and broccoli! It's a go to for Asian food.

I've been coming to Dah Lee Chinese restaurant for over 25 years, and have to say their food is delicious. However, their Customer Service is absolutely TERRIBLE. I placed an order for delivery, and usually they arrive earlier than when they say. I was my order would arrive in 40 minutes. When the order didn't arrive after an hour, I called them back. They told me the order just left. 25 minutes later, my order arrives cold. I microwaved it, and my wife and I began to eat the main course. I called them back, and asked to speak with the manager i contacted earlier, and was told he was not there. They offered to give me credit on my NEXT order, but told them after this incident, there wouldn't be a next time, and asked for a discount on THIS order. They reluctantly gave me $10.00 off my order. I will NEVER go back there again read more

This place is absolutely delicious! In person or at home! Always my go-to:) My boyfriend loved the sesame shrimp-so yummy

Just got takeout here for Valentine's Day because we decided to stay in and NOT cook haha. They were very nice on the phone and communication was easy. Food arrived in a half hour which was fast. And the food was sooooooo delicious. Nice and fresh. And not too loaded with sodium, which was nice :) We got their spring rolls, hot and sour soup, shrimp lo mein, and garlic chicken. Everything was DELISH!!! read more

This place is always great! It is located on the corner of Church and Ronkonkoma Ave with ample parking in the back. While the interior leaves something to be desired (it is a converted house), the food more than makes up for it. Me and a few friends would often go every Thursday after bingo, drink a few gin and tonics at the bar, and eat the best pork fried rice around. read more

Walking distance to home and pretty decent Chinese food. Usual items I get are pork lo mein, general chaos chicken, chicken and broccoli, egg foo yung, dumplings, boneless spare ribs, spring rolls, egg rolls, and a few other mainstays. Staff very polite and friendly, and the place has even here forever. What it lacks in excitement it makes up for in convenience. A go-to spot for us when we don't want to venture out of Ronkonkoma. read more
