Good Taiwanese cuisine in the Avenue district. They have great combination box lunch and dinner. For the affordable price, you can get a good meal. We got the rice paste roll with shrimp and pork. The roll is tasty. Great for lunch. We also got the braised pork belly combo box. This dish great for dinner. The portion is good and big enough for dinner. The braise pork belly is melt at your tongue. Overall is good food place for Taiwanese cuisine. Good enough for taste. The fried pork chop also very good. read more

4.5 -- Massive portions, great price, and super friendly and fast! They don't seem to speak English, but the online menu is in English for any non-Chinese speakers. Also super easy to just walk in and grab a table inside or outside. My friend and I got the Popcorn Chicken with a side of Mince Meat Noodle Soup, Braised Pig Trotters Plate, and Garlic Lettuce and Gai Lan. With all of this, we had enough for 2 meals worth of leftovers! Everything was delicious, the pig trotters melted off the bone. I will definitely become a regular here. -0.5 just because the popcorn chicken is really sweet, which isn't my preference read more

I loved Miss Mike's and I understand that ownership changes, but I still love Lee's kitchen. I think they have the best rice rolls in all of Seattle, and while portion sizes may have decreased a littttlllleeee bit, it's still very reasonable. It tastes extremely home-cooked and this place is my go-to for takeout. I also like their noodle soups, congee, and fried / popcorn chicken and fried pork. I also really want to try the port trotters but haven't had the opportunity to yet. There is an easy to use self order kiosk and it is all self serve and self seating. You grab your own utensils and takeout boxes. They also deliver via the apps for your convenience. Since it is near UW, it is street parking only, but it's not impossible to find. It is a very casual establishment that is great for students. read more

This building is nostalgic and special to me because it's always been home to comfort Taiwanese food. Henry's Taiwan, Miss Mike's, and now Lee's Kitchen. They've always served the classic Taiwanese fried chicken bento and are consistently solid. While the food is phenomenal, the drinks are unfortunately a poor representation. Boba spilled on the way home which sucks, but because it was lackluster, I didn't mind. Easy to make the same drink at home with grocery store ingredients. Fried Chicken Cutlet Bento - always a must get. High value, tasty, and nostalgic. Big portions at the price, tons of chicken, rice with minced meat and veggies, plus an egg roll. Chicken is juicy, tender, and Taiwanese preparation for frying chicken tends to be lighter while more flavorful. Just missing a tea egg and the pickled vegetables on the side. Shrimp Rice Roll - classic cheung fun, tailored to the college audience because there's a lot of rice roll to be filling on a budget. Not too much shrimp relative to the rice roll. Original Iced Milk Tea w/ Boba - as noted above, the boba here is mid. I've made the same boba at home, just cooking grocery store boba and no marination. It's an okay chew with absolutely no flavor. Milk tea tasted like the classic powder drinks and pretty sweet. I tried to ask for less sugar but that wasn't available. read more

Just to be clear, I'm glad this place exists. I don't live near the U. District, but I visit the campus every now and again. I had the combination rice roll (cheung fun) with shrimp, pork and beef. And I also had the popcorn chicken and brisket combo rice plate. It's hard to find a place around here that does such thin rice rolls. That part was a treat. The filling could be better seasoned, however. It did come out later than my other food, due to it's complexity. But the portion size was enough for at least two people. The popcorn chicken in my combo plate was hot and crispy. More like slices of chicken than what I would associate with the "popcorn" description. But it was good. I can't say very good things about the brisket. My first bite was very hard to chew. Almost rubbery. I didn't eat any more of the beef and actually took it home with the rest of the rice so I could put the brisket back on the stove and braise for another hour, maybe two? It was that tough. Disappointing. If it's not fork tender, I don't think you should serve it. But like I said, I'm glad they are there. The restaurant business is difficult. And if you've ever lived in an area with nothing but Panda Express, this is heaven sent. Take advantage of the free parking on Sundays, at the Central Plaza Garage on campus. It's only a block or so away. read more

We ordered at 12:23 pm, it's 1:15 now, no food is ready. The staff claims that he has already served the dish, which was not true. And he talks as if he has already done the job and we were lying. We have waited for so long and had to extend our parking just to wait for the food. Worst experience ever. Edit: at 1:38, our hot pot rice has not arrived yet. I asked to cancel the dish but he insisted that the dish is almost ready. Then I saw him grabbing raw chicken for my dish, which he wanted to cook, while handling me a to go box. Very unsanitary. read more

We used to come here often during school but hadn't been back since graduating, so we decided to revisit after about a year. The menu has changed a bit and it seems like there may be a new owner, but the environment feels the same--busy and self-service. We ordered the braised pork ribs with popcorn chicken combo and minced pork over rice, and the wait was around 15 minutes. The food still tasted just as good as we remembered: the braised pork ribs were tender and flavorful, the popcorn chicken was as addictive as ever, and the minced pork portion was surprisingly large (we only finished half). Overall, a consistent and satisfying experience, and we'll definitely be back--especially to try the braised brisket next time, which unfortunately wasn't available during this visit. read more

Honestly one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a while. I ordered rice rolls and waited for nearly 40 minutes, only to be told after all that time that their machine was broken and they couldn't make it. No heads-up, no apology, nothing -- just "it's not available" like my time meant nothing. When I asked if I could switch to something else, instead of trying to help, the staff basically warned me I'd have to wait another 30 minutes. The tone was so dismissive it honestly felt like they were trying to push me out rather than solve the problem. What's frustrating isn't even the broken machine -- things happen. It's the complete lack of communication and the attitude. If you already knew you couldn't make the dish, why not tell customers upfront instead of letting them sit there for 40 minutes? I ended up wasting almost an hour for nothing and walked away feeling annoyed and disrespected. Definitely not coming back. read more

Good food at a reasonable price. There is a monitor that you order from, so you can "see" what you are ordering, in case you have questions about 'what is what' on the menu. Casual atmosphere with plenty of tables to sit. read more

Walked in and ordered on a giant tablet for food to go. It was fast and easy once the employee showed me how to switch the language to English. Pretty cool. It's a small place inside but with some nice seating outside as well. The chicken cutlet bento box was roughly $21 plus tax and came with a lot of chicken and rice and honestly only ate half because it was a lot! If they offered a half order I would have got that. But, that's a positive! So much food for the price, nice to see. The crunch of the breading on the cutlets was very well done! I asked for spicy and I guess being a San Diego boy, it wasn't spicy at all but it was very well flavored and I would go back for sure. read more

No real service with self seating with QR codes on tables for ordering, self serve sides (peanuts, fried crispies, soup, and pickled veggies), and self serve utensils/cups - if you care about sanitation a lot, it may not be for you (they do keep it clean though!) the food took a while to come out (~20 min) but was super delicious! as another location for their original Bellevue location, it's slightly smaller but the food is the same (just with chicken wings to appeal to a college demographic?) highly recommend their clay pot rice, rice noodles with meat, and congee! read more

Best pork chop rice on campus. All you can eat salty peanuts and fry noodles. The service is fast and reliable.

I wish this was around when I was a student. Went here for lunch since it was convenient. Holy moly the menu is huge! We got the braised beef rice rolls and a tomatoey noodle soup. The rice rolls came out noticeably quick but we weren't in a hurry. There was a self service free snack bar with deep fried peanuts, crisps, pickled veggies, chili oils, and a nice chicken (and corn?) broth. It was nice to snack on the pickled veggies while waiting for the food. The portions were huge! And everything was delicious All in all, a good value for lunch in this economy and with all the enticing dishes on the menu, I'd come back! read more

Well Miss Mike Bento didn't last long, but it does seem as of Lee's inherited their menu and then built on top of it. It would appear to me that Lee's Kitchen is trying to be the Cheung Fun capital of Seattle in their humble little corner unit. I got a noodle bowl and a mixed beef-pork-shrimp cheung fun and there's plenty more on the menu to sample. Utensils and soup and crunchies and chili crunch and peanuts and takeout paraphenelia are all self serve. Ordering is done via QR code and the mom and pop in the kitchen are fast at work to deliver! read more

Living in the University District for four years, I can say this is the best restaurant here. It's my absolute favorite spot on the Ave. Everything comes in big portions, and I always have leftovers that still taste amazing days later.

My go to place when I'm craving comfort mom and pop Chinese food. Highly recommend their specialty noodle soups (pork tomato broth with small hint of pickled umami flavor). Fried chicken and stone pot is also popular here. Come here for the food, no frills, sweet hard working small business owners. college budget friendly! read more

Mostly a self service restaurant (in the way of water, utensils, paper towels, etc.) you order your main meal on your phone and they bring it to you. They provide free soup, toppings, and pickled veggies for you to serve yourself :) The food was great- very large portion sizes. We tried pig's foot (pig trotter on the menu) for the first time, and it was interesting. The mixed cold noodles were great. The employees were kind and this place was full of locals. Limited seating, but worth it! read more

Food is delicious but service and organization is terrible. We ordered popcorn chicken, congee, and braised pork dish and it took 40 minutes to be ready. We waited the whole time standing in a small area while many people who came after us got their food. They also cooked parts of our order at different times so the chicken was cold and the congee was very hot. Completely recommend the food but if you are looking for a quick bite this is not your place. Also good to mention we order to go and the people dining in seemed to get their food much faster :) read more
