This was not even close to being good. My Mongolian beef had no flavor. The rice tasted like very bland Mexican rice. The sweet and sour was watered down sugar water with some food coloring. Since when do you get a lunch special and no soup? Not even sure what is going on at this place. There wasn't one Asian person working . Not even the cook. I should have known this wasn't the place to get good Chinese. read more

Lee's China has always been consistent with great service and over all dining experience. My favorite is Lees Fried Rice! read more

This is the kind of ethnic restaurant that - if it's your first time - you'll forever be saying "I don't like Chinese food." Don't get me wrong, the food is edible, it just isn't good in any way, shape or form. My King Pao Shrimp was swimming in some sort of strange, bland sauce; the Szechuan Chicken tasted as if Buffalo Sauce had been diluted and poured over the dish. They would do better by cooking up the frozen Chinese foods from the Aldi next door. The waitress was very nice, and it seems as if local law enforcement has a liking for this place, so maybe I'm missing something. read more

Everything!!!!! FOOD POISONING FOR A WEEK FIRST DAY WE MOVED HERE!!!! other than that they were bvery professional and nice... And ambiance was nice... read more

Food tastes like a bad tv dinner. Haven't eaten at Lee's in since Covid but loved it before. Now no lemon for tea, 1 napkin per person, no soup with dinner, and condiments are non-existent. Food was microwaved, Sucked don't waste your money. read more

Darla is by far the best waitress I have ever had... ANYWHERE!!! Her presence alone makes this place a joy to visit. Food is freshly prepared and delicious. We had the mandarin beef and sesame chicken with hot & sour soup and fried dumplings. Only critique is this it she first place I have ever had Hot and sour soup that was not vegetarian (had chicken), used black pepper for the "hot" and lacked vinegar for the "sour" Other than the soup totally enjoyable and delicious experience. Once again Darla is a Rockstar!!!! read more

On a second visit, had the sizzling rice soup and pot stickers. The soup was excellent! I loved the presentation, they poured the hot crispy rice in to the soup bowl at the table and it sizzled and made the soup bubble! The pot stickers were a hit as well. This is a really good Chinese restaurant. read more

This place deserves more than 3 stars. The food was great (Mandarin style...not your normal Cantonese). They didn't have their Orange Beef the night we were in, but will be back to try it later. The service was great as well and our waitress made sure to let us know about some of the things we may not like as we started venturing into areas that were not the norm for Chinese food places. You gotta try it if your ever out in East Texas...not too many Asian places. This one is a safe bet. read more

Walked in at 2:45 to have lady yell from the back that they were closed. Sign clearly said closed at 3:00. She then yelled do you want to eat fast. Either your open or not. Won't eat here. read more

At 5:40pm on Wednesday, June 16th, my daughter and I went to Lee's China in Mt. Pleasant Texas to enjoy dinner. Most of you know that Cayley has a service dog for her medical condition so Cooper, as always, was with us. Before we could even get in the door the owner/manager, older man, waved his hands at us saying "no no no". I told him that Cooper is a medical alert service dog for my daughter's medical condition. He said "no...only for blind". I asked him "excuse me? He's a service dog for her medical condition just like a service dog for a person who is blind." He then proceeded to point to his paper sign that was printed on his computer that says Animals only for the blind allowed. I told him that was breaking ADA law and ushered my daughter out the door. I quickly returned and handed him this card with ADA law and told him he needed to educate are himself and that he just lost loyal customers to his restaurant. We know there is a lack of education and understanding when it comes to service animals. But we are very understanding when others take the time to learn. Ignorance isn't acceptable and the unwillingness of others to learn is absolutely appalling. We have already called to report to the civil rights department Edit: I would also like to add that Cooper (service dog) was clearly marked, wearing his service animal vest and was calm and controlled by daughter on a leash. He was seated by her side and followed her commands. read more

NOTHING TO TASTE HERE FOLKS. MOVE ON. What a disappointment. The hot and sour soup is neither. It tastes of oil that coats the tongue. Chicken fried rice is a mound of oily rice covered with a grey and orange "goulash". The moo shoo pork was a big oily mound of sautéed onions and peppers with the same grey and orange goulash mixed in. The pork was slivered and was barely visible in this mess. Look at the photos I've posted and see if you can tell the difference between the fried rice and the moo shoo. In all the 140 restaurants I have reviewed, this is the first time I've been angry at the food. And the restrooms were equally disappointing. I think one tipster said it better: "Yuck". read more

We have been coming here for over 25 years. Lee's fried rice is the best they have a wonderful Mongolian beef and our family's favorite is also sizzling rice soup. They have wonderful staff and the owners are very kind and sweet people. Give them a try. read more

Been a Mt Pleasant staple for a very long time and very consistent!!! Food is great service is great can be a bit slow but worth it!! Lees fried rice is my favorite read more

Man I really wanted this place to be good. Have a cool old school Chinese restaurant vibe and staff is very nice. But... the food. Wow Wontons. Not cream cheese but cabbage? Weirdly shaped and burnt. Not good. orange chicken is like chicken nuggets in pancake syrup. Not orange at all and way too sweet. No general Taos chicken so had kung pay. So much regret. Look I know this is MP, not Singapore or Taipei. I know the bar is low but the Chinese buffet in the same parking lot is way better. That's sad. Please management take this review as constructive criticism and review how this can be fixed. I really would love to try this again someday. read more

This was a pretty good restaurant! What's with all the bad reviews?? I'm Asian and consider myself an expert with Chinese cuisine. I'll admit the food isn't five stars but it certainly better than the 3 stars that it got. The service was awesome which is why I gave my experience with this restaurant 5 stars! !! I'll be back. read more

I had asked the ladies in the hair cutting shop 2 doors down a few days ago if it was any good. They said to order "Lee's Fried Rice" as it had all the meats and such and was excellent. I've eaten at several of the Chinese buffets in town and wanted to actually order a dish or two. Went in on Saturday evening ~ 6ish. Maybe 4-5 other tables in use. Service was fast and friendly. Food arrived promptly and though it was warm, it wasn't hot. It cooled off very fast. I ordered Wonton soup to start and expected a regular single serving sized bowl. Instead I got a HUGE bowl with enough for 2-3 people. It was good. I'm used to it being a clear broth but this was like a mixture of egg drop with the clear and onion, celery, carrot and a few other things added in. I also ordered Lee's fried rice and Lee's Lo Mein. The waitress started raising her eyebrows at me so I explained that I wanted left overs for reheating at home. I told her I realized it was a lot of food. The rice was pretty good. I'm used to all the ingredients being mixed in the rice as it's stir fried, but here the rice formed a bed and the ingredients were "poured" over the top. The Lo Mein had real noodles vice spaghetti, so that was good (& different). I wasn't that impressed with it though. Can't put my finger on why, just wasn't impressed. It was OK. I had water with my meal so no drink charge. Total with tip was like $32.00. I'll go back again as I'd like to try some of their other dishes like Moo Sho for example. read more

Lees China Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Mount Pleasant, Texas

See all

Obviously, not the big fancy chain restaurant, good thing I think. Might even be hard to spot. Inside, simple and not much for ambiance. HOWEVER, and it's a big however, the food is awesome. I am 63, male, and have been from the east coast to the west coast, south to north, sea to shining sea (yeah I know, same thing). This food has the best flavor profiles for this genre that I have ever tasted. My wife and I started coming to Mt Pleasant for Dr. appointments late 2021. She loves oriental style foods, as do I, so we stopped in to give it a try. Wow. Now we go every month after our monthly Dr appts. We have shared 4-5 different entree's, can't remember the names (yah, he's old, right). Twice I ate the beef broccoli, awesome. (I remember that quite clearly). My wife has ordered several seafood dishes, I've tasted each of them, excellent. The fried wontons, the spring rolls, both superb. They make a soup, at the top of the soup list, can't remember the name (prolly can't remember how to tie his shoes), it has crispy rice. Never tasted anything like that anywhere, now we get it every time. The portions are substantial and we always have enough left over for lunch the next day. The chef(s) are very responsive. Last month, we sent my wife's vegetables back, on the seafood dish, to have them cooked 'well done', they came back perfecto. I love real crispy vegetables, but my wife's dentures are anti-crunchy. Today's visit, we ordered the fried wontons done 'lightly fried'. They nailed the cook on those won-tons. My wife (sans dentures) and I's personal take, they serve the best Asian flavor's we've ever enjoyed . See ya next month. read more

Food is just okay... 2 stars is mainly for the service. The good:The waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and checked on you alot. Heard another customer ask her how long she had been there.. (11 years so that part made sense) The bad: food was bland and overcooked but I didn't expect great chinese food in this small town. Ordered the crispy soup and Lee's lomein. I might go back and try something else but for now this is my review read more

It's over way priced for semi decent food the sweet and sour chicken taste fake. The service wasn't the best and it's not what you expect it to be. read more

Best place in town, you won't regret eating here! A truly classic dining experience that is special to Mt. Pleasant! Best fried rice dishes around, always happy to eat here! read more

I've been craving Chinese food and hadn't found a place that solved my craving until Lee's. Great food in good sized portions that is served fast and piping hot. Everything I've had there is good and definitely recommend it. read more

I went there it was nasty as hell and stunk like a clogged up toilet. I'm not sure what they were worried about that lady with the service dog. The place was nasty as hell. I went to the bathroom it was nasty as hell. There were roaches everywhere read more

Absolutely love this place! Kitchen, restroom and restaurant in general was super clean and the food was fresh, cooked perfectly, and the portions were huge!! We are big fans of the hot rice soup and the egg drop soup was like a bowl of great chicken soup!! The entree's are plentiful n choices are many!! I would give 5 stars but it was a little pricey; but quality comes with a price !!! read more

First time at Lee's and tried the Lee's Beef. The waitress explained that they used ketchup as the base sauce for this dish. She was not wrong. The portion size was huge, and I really liked how they chopped the meat and vegetables. The rice was good, too. But... this dish was like eating a sloppy joe what with the ketchup base. The waitress said they "Americanize" their dishes to meet the demands of the locals. I get it, but I would much rather have authentic Chinese food. Service was attentive and pleasant. Moving on... read more

This use to be my favorite Restaurant but the quality of the food has gone way down. The waitresses are excellent but over worked. This visit was during lunch and we couldn't even eat because of flies.. owner seems really hard on his staff as well. read more

Traveling thru town looking for something that wasn't fast food. This fit the bill. Decent food, decent price.

Fantastic place, super clean, owners are Great as well and the food is hot and fresh I would Recommend this place to anyone. Only thing I wish they had is a Drive Thru but even though they don't I still don't mind going inside. read more

Lees China has always been my favorite Chinese in Mt Pleasant. I've changed my mind. The restaurant is getting old and run down. It's kind of smelly in here now and not very clean. Owners don't seem to care about what the customer wants or needs or about cleanliness. Sometimes you have to put money back into the business to get more re business. We all have to deal with inflation but I don't think changing what your plates have always come with to less appetizing food is not the way you should do it. Disappointed! read more

Order came out wrong then the second time it came out it was undercooked, as well as the terrible service. The owner has a nasty attitude and they wouldnt accept there mistakes even after owner tried it and made a face Won't be going back. read more

Unfortunately our lunch experience here was very bad. Right out the gate my husband ordered a sweet tea, waitress, "no we don't have sweet tea only unsweet. He got a soda. I asked for unsweet tea with lemon, "we don't have lemon." Lime? "no". Ok then just tea. Got our tea and soda she says ready to order, no we would like a couple mins. She leaves, comes back like less than a minute, ready? uhm ok do we ordered our meals and asked fir spring rolls. Our food was out in less than 5 mins. She put down the 'spring rolls' I'm like wait these are egg rolls. She replies egg rolls spring rolls they are all the same. I'm like no they are not. She shrugged and walked away. Came back with sweet and sour sauce for our rolls and it was so watered down and had no flavor at all. I bought wicrowave frozen egg rolls a few weeks ago that tasted better than these. My dish was spicy shrimp and my husbands was shrimp on lobster sauce and literally tasted the same my only a little spicier and colored red. My rice was cold in the middle. We both pushed our food away. she came back asked how was it. I said not good. She smiled walked away brought us 2 fortune cookies... lmao mine had no fortune in it. Went to pay and it was 37.95. We thought wow ok. Walked out and I went back in because I wanted a receipt. She couldn't find our ticket then when she did sh immediately says " I charged you wrong" over charged us by almost $7. took her longer to straighten that out then waiting for our food. I will never go back. read more

Lee's fried rice is the best! The hot and sour soups is delicious as well. Very friendly service, the prices are very reasonable. PSA if you spend less than $6 you have to pay with cash. read more

Based on what I ordered, it was delicious. Sweet & Sour Chicken, fried rice and egg drop soup. Great service and cool decor. I'm not from the area, and enjoyed my experience. read more

I've had to downgrade my 5 star review from 2013. The restaurant needs sprucing up, especially the restroom. The last time I looked at the fake plants they were old & dusty. As of January 2017 they started charging $1.50 each for a small bowl of soup which used to be free with your meal. We get the same dishes each time so I can't speak to the how good other dishes are. I will say it is nicer than the other Chinese places in town. read more

This place definitely needs a reboot. The rice and egg rolls are great but that's about it. This place hasn't changed in over 20 years. It's dark and dingy. The hot and sour soup is just wrong. You used to get soup with the lunch specials....not anymore. Disappointed read more

I like their Lee's Fried rice and Mongolian beef. The service is very good. The wait staff is friendly. The food prices are reasonable as well. I would rather eat here than at the other Chinese place in town. read more

If I could give it 10 stars I would! The absolute best chineese food around! I love it!

NASTY kitchen, owner has a NASTY attitude & doesn't pay his bills well, If you go there be on the lookout for a surprise in your food and some surprise cheap stale, old or low quality ingredients. Their hot soup has a very strong odor of urine !! read more

this restuarant has a big sign at the cashier counter says " you order you pay". whether you are served a dish that you did not order or there is something in it that can make you sick, the Owner has " no exchange policy". The owner was very rude. Waitress who work there (only spanish) work in fear of the owner. This place knows no customer service. Don't go there. I would not recommed this place to anyone. The Chinese food at Daingerfirld is much better tasting and people are friendly there. read more

I've eaten here many times when visiting family, and the service and food have always been great. I appreciate that they have several vegetarian options--more than other MP restaurants. I have seen "the sign" mentioned in a previous post but am sure this is for "those people" who find a way to eat their entire plate before realizing something was wrong with the order. I commend the owner for taking this stand, as those costs trickle down to the consumers. Check out Lee's China when you can! read more

Don't agree with Akshay at all! I've eaten at Lee's for years, and the food has always been consistently good! I've never had a prob with service either. read more
