In general I don't like when places use the word restaurant in their name when they are to-go only. While it's something that I might take into consideration, the food alone is enough to make this rating a sub 4. For me this place is a 3/5. I ordered the general chicken and orange chicken. They said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I came maybe about 10 min later. Got the food and tasted it soon after I got to my car. Orange chicken lacking in that orange pop. General chicken lacking in overall flavor. What was the most unforgivable though was the soggy chicken. Eating at its optimal level would be eating it fresh at the table at the restaurant. Next best thing would be in the car as soon as you got it. But it's a to-go restaurant to realistically your eating it at home after it's traveled for however many minutes. As expected when I got home it was soggy. But it was already as soggy as possible to begin with. Why is this place a 4/5 I have no idea. Maybe since I came during off peak hours so they foods just sitting around and there's no fresh food turnover? No idea. Maybe I'll give them another chance one day but who knows. Also factor in that they don't have rice plates and the cost of pure entrees alone and that's a negative for me. I didn't know how lacking Chinese food was in Manteca because I was spoiled by the old Kitty's Kitchen. Nothing compares in the area. read more

We were pleasantly surprised by the authenticity of Lee's when our family was craving Chinese food during our stay at Great Wolf Lodge. We ordered through DoorDash and appreciated that everything came neatly boxed and travel-friendly. We enjoyed every dish we tried -- potstickers, beef chow fun, wonton soup, and one of their combination meals. If you're not sure on what to order, go for a combo! Each combo includes an egg roll, fried rice, chow mein, and a main entrée. The food was flavorful and, best of all, made without MSG. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Manteca! read more

This is a solid option for Chinese food if you're in town! I picked up food here on the way to an overnight stay at Great Wolf Lodge which was ten minutes away. The food was well packaged and they provided plates and utensils. I'm not familiar with Manteca so as I was driving through the neighborhood I was a little scared to go down by myself because the restaurant was located downtown next to a bar. But I had no need to worry! The owner was very friendly and told me the restaurant has been there for over 30 years, they make everything fresh, including the handmade chili paste. They only do to go service- no sit down option. The food was hot and fresh. We ordered the Mongolian beef, general's chicken, orange chicken, salt and pepper pork chop, house fried rice, and house chow mein. Everything was yummy. Beware- the salt and pepper pork chop and the general's chicken has a spicy zip to it. Give them a try if you're craving good Chinese food! read more

I can't believe I had never been to Lee's before. I went for the first time about 4 weeks ago. I met Lee the owner she was so sweet and personable. The food was delicious. I have been back 3 times since. Now I started ordering for my parents too and they really like the food as well. Tonight I got the prawns with vegetables and steamed white rice which is my favorite. My go to here. The shrimp is always well cleaned and cooked just right. Tonight I also got an order of mushroom chicken to try. So flavorful. My mom got the won ton soup and general chicken and my dad got the combination h plate which is fried rice, chow mein and Kung pao chicken. You can even ask for it mild spiced. You must try Lee's homemade chili oil. Beside great food the service is outstanding. When I called in my order and told her my name she was like "oh you have ordered before". If you haven't tried Lee's you are missing out. read more

Always good! The owner is so kind and sweet to her customers. Whenever I'm in town, I make sure to stop by and place an order.

The food was good, not delicious or the best ever. Good enough however to finish 5 courses by 4 people. Chicken Chow Main, Pork Sweet Sour, House Fried Rice and Sesame Chicken. We finished all of it. read more

Outstanding food. The shrimp are huge and perfectly cooked. The won ton soup is delicious: large won tons swimming in a flavorful broth. chow fun to die for. read more

Over the weekend at Great Wolf Lodge in the area. My family and I decided to order Chinese food in the area. We are originally from New York and we love love Chinese food. We read the reviews on this restaurant and ordered delivery. They didn't disappoint, we ordered the potstickers, fried shrimp, fried egg rolls, beef with broccoli, sweet and sour pork and steamed Rice. The Chinese food was all there and delicious with every last bite. The service was accurate. The food was clean and they marked the items we knew which item was what. Overall we highly recommend you check out go to or order out to Lees Chinese restaurant. read more

I was hopeful based on other reviews, and maybe it was an off night but I'm extremely disappointed. I ordered Hot and Sour soup, ginger beef and a small white rice and it came to $31.56.... Which would've been fine, I understand prices have gone up but the soup was bland and I barely got a single serving of ginger beef. Unacceptable for the price. It was a Togo order (all they do apparently) or I would've addressed this at the restaurant. I will definitely not be returning. read more

My husband ordered party trays from this place for my birthday party and everyone took left overs home because the food was fantastic! He and I went into the restaurant to order the food and let me tell you the lady at the front desk was sooo friendly and has the greatest personality! She knew a lot of the people who walked in after us by first name! Totally recommend this place! read more

Very good, authentic, Chinese cuisine, with something for every taste. Prices very reasonable. Ordering was easy online (pickup & delivery only) and the food arrived piping hot. And the best part? Leftovers! read more

I definitely like the wonton soups better, but then American Chinese food is my least fave Asian food. Combo plates are huge. Plus the food isn't greasy, not so great is you get a LOT of rice & noodles and not so much meat. Next time I'll order a 1 combo plate and 1 main dish. Kept calling and couldn't get through, ended up going there and ordering and it took at least 30 minutes before we got our food. Learn the best way to get your food is to order online for pick up. read more

Lees is a Family Run place and has been in Business for over 35 years! !!! They even own the Bar next Door!!! If you're in the Mood for a Alcoholic Beverage. The Owner Sanchalee greeted me and Asked for my Order???? I Perused the Menu and Ordered the Wonton Soup and the Combination A Meal To Go!! The Combo A Meal Is Pork Fried Rice Chicken Chow Mein Sweet and Sour Pork And a Egg roll!!! Lees Dining Room is Closed since Covid !!!! They Only Do To Go Orders!!!! Sanchalee and Her Daughter were Working the Front of the House!!!! They were both very Happy , Friendly and Efficient!!! Great Service!!!! My Food came out 20 Minutes later Piping Hot from the Kitchen!!! I went to the Park across the street and Munched out on my Food!!! It was Fresh, Flavorful and Delicious!!!

I've ordered from here a few times and I enjoy the food. Food it ready fast and staff is friendly. My daughters love to go in and say hi to the owner, she's very sweet with my girls. read more

Just be advised they only offer take out. I hope some day in the future they offer dine in, but until then. The food and service is polite and fast. We never wait more than 45 mins for delivery. Food is always consistent and delicious. It's one of the top three Chinese restaurants we've tried here. read more

Maaan! This is place is simply AMAZING! If you are looking for great authentic Chinese food with great flavor this is the place! Just moved to Manteca and finding a good Chinese restaurant has been a little hard. But came across this place and i must say! 10/10 Mrs. Lee the owner helped us out and she was the sweetest! I will only eat Chinese from here from now on. Thank you for the amazing food and service. Side note it's only for takeout no dine-in. read more

I've been living in Manteca for just over 3 years and never heard of this place until I read on Facebook how delicious the food was. So I tried it and I was greeted by the owner Mrs. Lee, who mentioned she's owned the restaurant for over 40years. I highly recommend trying it out, as you will not be disappointed! read more

Very helpful and good was very good. New to Manteca so trying to find the best foods in town. This is definitely a place to return to.

Lees has been my new go to restaurant I have just recently moved to Manteca and had many failed attempts on good Chinese food but this spot is great ! Packed with lots of flavor food is always hot and warm , I enjoy the house chicken plate with the hot and sour soup ! The women that works the front is very sweet lady I love this place **(you can not sit and eat but food is great) read more

The worst food ever. The fried prawns batter must have baking powder because it has an aftertaste, shrimp are small. Pork fried rice, garlic chicken are bad too. I've had better. read more

We've been getting food from this place for years now. It's the BEST in town. Mrs Lee is the kindest and treats her customers like family. Wish they would go back to seating inside vs just take out. Either way their food and customer attendance is amazing. read more

The food is always made fresh and taste great. Everyone loves it when we cater from them. Grandma is always so welcoming and such a beautiful soul. Proud supporter of local businesses. read more

Came here for lunch i order chow mein fried rice and Mongolian beef, and side order of the garlic fried chicken, the food was ok Mongolian beef short on the beef and the garlic chicken was really salty, but the fried rice and chow mein was good, this place is for take out only No dine in, customer service was good but I have little mix feelings about this place maybe I'll try something else. I normally go to kittys kitchen but thought I'll give this a try. read more

Were able to make what I asked for and very quickly during busy hours. Would 10/10 recommen

After receiving the estimated time my order would be done I waited inside the restaurant for an hour because service was short staffed (and the cook "made the wrong rice). Seating was closed off but I wondered why there was a small white dog on a loose leash wandering around the restaurant. Food was acceptable. read more

We love going to Lee's! We always get the combination specials depending on what we feel like having. Food always comes out hot and fresh.

The quality of food is definitely going downhill. The last couple of times I've ordered there was barely any sauce on the entrees. Last time I ordered sweet and sour pork. Thankfully I had my own sweet and sour sauce in the cabinet to make up for what was lacking. Last night, however was the worst. I ordered orange chicken, and it was dry, overcooked, and there was not even enough sauce to cover most pieces of chicken. ALL of their items are extremely bland. Everything I have tried from here is super flavorless and bland. I gave three stars because they are still very generous with portions. The potstickers are very big and packed full of filling and those are the only things that were not overcooked last night. But honestly, what is the point of having huge heaping piles of dry overcooked bland food? I think last night was my last time ordering from Lee's. I hope the quality gets better because I really want to support a local business but at this point I'm going to order from other places in Ripon and Lathrop which have consistently good reviews and food. read more

If you are in the area and looking for good chinese food, Lee's is a good option. As of writing this they are only doing to go, still no in person dining. :( Parking is difficult, but if you keep driving you will find street parking. Prices are fair for what you get and for lunch they have combo plates that are big enough for 2. Flavor is pretty good and not greasy. Definitely coming back! read more

I think it's safe to say we have found our favorite Chinese food in the valley. It is located in Manteca, not too far from Lathrop.. but we are so happy we have found the spot to order party trays. We met the owner when we first came here. She was very friendly and so lovely! I personally love their walnut prawns!! Their veggie fried rice and chowmein is also tasty and not too greasy. My family enjoyed their boneless garlic fried chicken. It was a no-brainer; we ordered a bunch of party trays here for my son's party the same week. Clean seating area, but the place is no longer doing a sit-down, but call your order in and enjoy it at home. What we ordered for the party: Large Veggie Fried rice and Chowmein: everyone loved it!!! It fed 60+ ppl, and people were able to take some home. Medium beef broccoli: Perfect portion Medium Walnut prawns: this was gone in less than an hour!!! Super delicious! Highly recommend. Medium boneless garlic chicken: great portion, and everyone enjoyed it at the party. Kids and adults approve Medium Mongolian beef Medium Mixed veggie with tofu We ordered another dish, but I forgot which one it was. Overall our guests loved it!!! They brought food to go, and we highly recommend this place for your party. (find more on Instagram @melshealthybowl) read more

They don't let you substitute any of their chicken combination plates with a different chicken meat.

The war won ton soup was good but the "combo chicken chow mein not so much. It had too much soy sauce was really brown in color and too much oil. Also no chicken in it and sweet and sour chicken looked old could not eat it ended up in garbage can. read more

Lee’s Chinese Restaurant - Combination Plate D - Chinese Near Me - Manteca, California

The lady seemed really pushy and stressed. She didn't have good customer service, we ordered to go, there's seating but no dine in. I went to the bathroom while we waited for the food and it smelled like a porter potty. I held my breath the whole time. We went to eat our food at the park and there were a few homeless around. I also think the portion could have been more for the price. Definitely won't be coming back because of the hygiene and the customer service. read more

The lady at the front (owner i believe) was really nice she made me feel really welcomed to her restaurant. I just moved to Manteca and was craving Chinese food so i decided to give Lee's a try and wow the food was really great, she promised me the food was really good and i was not disappointed at all. Will be coming back! read more

Lived in Manteca for a couple years and I've always driven by this place. Im glad we decided to order from here because, they have some REALLY GOOD FOOD! My husband bought a bunch of food after my sons graduation tonight. Everything we ate was fantastic and ready on time. Now I think we will definitely become regulars. I wish I would've taken photos of our food, but we all devoured it lol. ITS TAKEOUT ONLY, but we're ok with that. You get a good amount of food. read more

Unfortunately my last attempt was not just an off today. Today I went with the orange chicken and am incredibly grateful for the sriracha and soy sauce on hand... no "3rd time is a charm" for this spot. Twice was enough. Flavor is just missing each time. read more
