Lee Cafe is, without a doubt, the best and most authentic Chinese restaurant near Charlotte! Every time I crave flavors that remind me of home, I'm more than willing to make the drive to South Carolina for it--it's that good. Their menu is full of incredible options, but I highly recommend the intestines, spicy fish, and cold beef filet. Each dish is packed with bold, authentic flavors that are hard to find anywhere else. If you're searching for truly authentic Chinese food and don't mind a bit of a drive, Lee Cafe is absolutely worth the trip. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves real, home-style Chinese cuisine!

Tucked away in a plaza in Fort Mill. This place been around for quite some time. Finally I get to dine in on a Sunday. I walked in and the place is pack. I wasn't sure if I was at the right place. Stand there for a good 15 mins before we have a place to sit down.. Now my friend is Chinese soo she order soo much food, mostly spicy ones.. I order the Beef Chow Fun and the garlic bok choy. Both are my go too and very good. Service is fine. They're busy so I wouldn't say they are attentive. They do what they can. And the ambiance is very chill. Laid back and definitely nothing fancy. If you're looking for authentic Chinese food.. This is the place since they have a separate menu for that instead of the usual fried rice and egg foo young. They also accept large orders. I have 10 lobsters ordered before for my party. Check them out

First and foremost I never ever give 5 stars to any places/restaurant's, but this GEM is one of the best Chinese places I ever eating since China town in NYC. Service was on point, food was amazing. Price you can't beat from normal Chinese places. I wished this place was close to me but as usual it's not. lol.

Get the spicy fish and veggies, also don't be afraid to try the intestines! Flavors are absolutely delish, not 100% big city quality but one of the best locations in charlotte.

I think this might be the best Chinese restaurant in the greater Charlotte area. I know that it's about 20 minutes away from Charlotte, but trust me when I say that it's worth the drive. This hidden gem is a haven for food lovers seeking a taste of authentic Chinese food . From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with the delicious smell of dishes that transport you straight to the vibrant streets of Asia. From mouthwatering noodle bowls to delectable stir-fries and savory dumplings, each bite is a symphony of flavors. Lee Cafe has a diverse menu that caters to all taste preferences! So if you're ready to impress your taste buds and embark on a flavorful adventure, make your way to Lee Cafe in Fort Mill. Indulge in the richness of Asian cuisine and create memories that will linger long after the last bite. WHAT WE ORDERED: -Spicy Fish & Veggies: This dish combines fried fish and a variety of fresh, crisp vegetables, all bathed in a spicy sauce. -Spicy Twice Cooked Pork: Slices of pork belly are cooked not once, but twice, to achieve maximum tenderness and flavor. -Lobster Fried Rice: Indulge in the luxurious taste of lobster combined with the comforting goodness of fried rice. Diced lobster meat is seamlessly integrated into the fried rice, infusing it with a delectable seafood essence. FOLLOW @zackaryeats on Instagram/Tiktok for more foodie finds

Braised Pork Belly - So good
Swaz F.

If you are looking for good Americanized Chinese restaurant, this will not be the place for you. Go to Baoding at Southpark or other Chinese restaurant for your beef and broccoli or favorite fried rice. This is the place you go if you are looking for some authentic Cantonese Chinese dishes that are not served elsewhere such as stir fry snow pea tips or braised pork belly. Service here reminded me so much of typical Chinatown restaurants LOL! , again very authentic so expect curt and indifference. I wish this place was close to my house so I can get takeout.

Beef Chow Fun
Wen T.

So far, the most authentic Chinese restaurant we've had in the Fort Mill area. We ordered: Beef chow fun Mongolian beef Pork fried rice Stir fried pea shoots Eggrolls Everything came out blazing hot and freshly cooked. Everything was very good. We look forward to trying more of the menu.

This place is one of the two places in Charlotte that you can get authentic Chinese food. It's a bit of a drive away from center Charlotte. Located about 30 minutes away from everything. This place is near Carowinds. Worth the drive. The food is always good. My favorite is the Szechwan spicy beef bowl. It has a lot of flavor and is spicy.all the other dishes were delicious too. You can't go wrong with any of them. Tip if you are going during rush hour get there early as this small place gets packed. Food: great Staff: nice Atmosphere: relaxing I recommend this place and will be back.

Spicy Chili Chicken
Bjorn M.

Ordered take out on 6/6. I wanted to try something I had never had before so I opted for the Spicy Chili Chicken b/c the pics I saw looked delish. It comes with rice but I subbed for noodles. When I arrived, I stood at the hostess stand for what felt like forever waiting to be acknowledged. I figured maybe they were short staffed so I waited patiently. Several minutes later two business men walked in and were greeted immediately by one of the workers who was sitting at one of the booths. Had I realized she was staff, I would have gotten her attention. So I asked her where I pick up my to go order and she directed me towards the bar (mind you there was no one behind the bar). I made sure I let her know I was not pleased with not being acknowledged until the two other men walked in. She apologized but the damage was already done. As for the food. It was packed with chili peppers. Too spicy for me but if you like spice you would probably love it.

Most everyone who eats asian food has an opinion about what's good, better or best. You can spend…read morehours reading two or three line comments on FB or Google. Are they really reviews or simply comments? When friends/family talk to me about Yelp and being an Elite reviewer, I have a simple response. Read the reviews of Elite level reviewers FIRST. These are individuals who have traveled on business or pleasure and used the reviews to select where they want to eat while traveling. Typically you will get a reviews that's based on a wide range of previous experience across the State or States and even Internationality. I've been living in Fort Mill/Rock Hill area going on 5 years and I have tried dozens of chinese, japanese, korean and asian fusion restaurants and markets. I can now say that Golden China has the best quality of food. They also excel in price, selection and service. They are family owned and operated. Read the reviews, as of right now, they have 125 reviews with a solid 4 Star average. My favorite selection here is the Triple Delight with fried rice. All the ingredients; chicken, beef, shrimp and broccoli are fresh and taste great! They have a great selection on their menu, reasonable prices, great portion sizes and the place is clean and the Staff is professional and friendly. The parking can be a bit of a challenge at prime time as it's in a busy strip mall location but....it's free!

The portions are huge! We liked the potstickers and egg rolls. The noodles, chicken, pork and beef…read moredishes were alright. This is more of a last minute "pick up/to go" restaurant. They do have seating which is reminiscent of an office break room or hospital cafeteria. Very friendly and courteous staff. They keep quite busy with to-go orders.

It's very rare for me to do a review and not have pics to accompany it but from entrance to exit I don't think I liked my phone up once. Coworker's company was great but the food really made for a great experience. In addition to that having my coworker speak to the culture of the food made it all the more appreciated. I definitely can't say enough good words about the food and the service and the overall experience. Five stars is all I can give but if there were more this restaurant would well deserve it. Next time I'll have to get pics

Great authentic Chinese Hot Pot place! The food is fantastic and the service fast and efficient…read moreplus the atmosphere is cool! The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food served! I have eaten here many times and I have tried virtually everything on the menu. With that said, here is my take on it. Everything that I have tried has been delicious! For cold appetizers, I am a big fan of the Black Fungus W. Vinegar Sauce, Cold Spicy Sour Cucumber and the Spicy Beef Tendon. For hot appetizers, everyone raves about the Popcorn Chicken and I concur that it's very good! I really like the Frled Pork Gyoza too. For the main course, they have some rice dishes, but the main focus is the hot pot soups. They bring out a 300°F Stone bowl of broth (in an insulated pot holder) and the ingredients to put in it. You put the meat and lettuce in first, then the other ingredients and the noodles last then wait for "10 seconds"thus the name of the restaurant. I have tried all of the broths and they are all good depending on your tastes. The original broth is the bass broth. Then they add things to the other others to differentiate them. My favorites are the Tomato Soup (especially with Beef Flank) and Spicy Soup. If you like things VERY spicy, they can bring you some cut Thai peppers. The wait staff are patient are very helpful in guiding patrons. They understand that this is a new experience for them. They also pay attention to their customers eating habits. One time when I went in, they noticed that I added lots of chili peppers and chili oil to my food. That's when she said she could bring me some very hot fresh chili peppers. Charlotte is truly blessed to have so many great authentic Chinese body shops popping up all over town! I highly recommend this place! Cheers!
