We have been enjoying their food for over a decade and have not been disappointed yet. Today, the Mongolian Beef was full of fresh spring onions, and the chicken lo mein was on point. The owner is always cheerful and accommodating. read more

old greasy tough and tasteless... worst Chinese food ever had to throw it out and find something to make at home!?!? never ever again read more

It was terrible... oily and not even very hot!! My family got the dinner for four and they charged us full price for chicken fried rice when they said we could upgrade the steamed and didn't even give us the steamed rice, just changed extra and the chicken fried rice had shrimp in it... my family doesn't eat sea food. We have lived here for 36 years and will never eat there again... totally lost a customer. We wanted to love it totally bummed!!! read more

Staff wonderful,sweet and kind. The flavor however was so bland. Garlic chicken had no flavor of garlic and Mongolian beef was also bland no spice. read more

If you're craving Chinese food and you're in the vicinity of this city...this place is nice to eat some Chinese food! . My wife and I got, cream cheese wonton, lemon chicken, and shrimp fried rice. Pretty good selection. Flavorable choices! Service is good, only one person as far as I know but service. Typical Chinese restaurant ambiance. read more

Delicious pot stickers and hot and sour soup to start! Kung pão vegetables had a variety of perfectly tender/crisp seasonal vegetables. Mu shu pork brought back memories. Service was attentive. This is a hidden gem. read more

It was really terrible food. Whoever cooks definitely has no passion in there food it was so bland, and it was tough like it was cooked that morning and served that evening really bad read more

The food was tasty and the service was excellent. The Mongolian beef was delicious and the pot stickers were great and the house spicy sauce had an interesting roasted flavor. We asked for a thicker sauce for the Almond Chicken, which they accommodated. The chicken was tender, the almonds toasted and the zucchini fresh. I had my birthday lunch here and the owner brought out some books on Chinese horoscopes, and the zodiac. Very fun. The tea had a lovely robust flavor, and we got special decorated fortune cookies! Highly recommend. read more

Best I have ever had anywhere! Can't wait to go back again and again and again! The assortment of vegetable, the broth, the seasoning in the pork! Ooo la la chef kiss service great! ambience great! The house chowmein and house fried rice are also excellent!!! read more

Lee's Chinese Restaurant - Pork wonton soup! I miss it sooo much!!! - Chinese Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

The food was so bad we had to throw it out. Grease was dripping out the boxes, the beef had a weird, grainy texture with an odd film around it. The chowmein was flavorless, and the egg foo young was pure mush. I haven't had to spit out food in a while. This was beyond disgusting. read more

Wowowowowow. We were craving Asian food after spending a few days in the area, and we were thrilled to find a local Chinese restaurant. We had all the small town Chinese American restaurant staples: Hot and sour soup. Lemon chicken. Beef with green onions. It was literally perfect and hit the spot. Service was great and you can tell the staff have relationships with locals who were ordering take out. This is not authentic Chinese food (duh). But it's literally perfect Chinese American food. read more

My wife and I went to Lee's Chinese Restaurant on a Wednesday evening and experienced an exceptional meal, a friendly and helpful staff, and a clean and pleasant restaurant. Our meal came quickly, was hot, and was delicious! We were quite pleased and surprised at how much we loved the good food and this great restaurant! I don't know why it is rated so low here. Our experience was very, very good! We loved it!!! Highly recommended!!!! read more

Worst a Chinese food I've ever had! Got only Wor Won Ton takeout. NO filling inside wontons. Only noodles. Broth was good but everything else sucked.DO NOT eat here. read more

Wow! Such good food and so much of it! We decided to get the dinner for 4 and we're not disappointed. Highlights were the egg rolls, the sweet n sour pork and the almond chicken. We were all stuffed! Even on a Wednesday it was busy, always a good sign. I'd definitely recommend it. read more

Very Disappointed! I Do Not Recommend! Lee's Chinese Restaurant has the most awful chinese food I have ever tasted. The food was greasy and inedible. It doesn't even taste like authentic chinese food. It was expensive and the quantity and quality is poor. The owner/server had an attitude and is extremely rude. read more

Was in town for the Blues Festival and walked by the night before and it smellled delicious. Today my friend and I went to have lunch there and it was awful. We ordered dishes that were supposed to have green vegetables in them and not a hint of green was seen. The dishes we ordered had so much bamboo in them it was disgusting especially if you know what they taste like. The waitress was flippant when we asked her where the green veggies were and when we told her that the dish didn't taste good and the white rice was hard. This was highly overpriced and I wouldn't reccomend this place if you want authentic Chinese food. read more

i've never had better egg rolls in my life. i 100% recommend this restaurant if your visiting the area. the lady that served us was very nice and she was in a great mood. i loved how it looked inside the restaurant and it smelled amazing. if you want chinese food i highly recommend coming here. read more

Excellent food, generous portions, and service. I had the orange chicken, very tasty., and the hot green tea was excellent. A small cozy restaurant. read more

wow. husband mildly enjoyed king pao. i had pork chow mein for astronomicallly higher price than even sf. rice badly undercooked badly under seasoned. used frozen veggies. gag. for that price?! i added seasoning to rice. soy. sesame. and teeny hoisin as dish was SO FLAT. we steamed dish w seasoning and water to create a passable dish....????$15........you kidding me. please skip this spot. read more

I love that the plates are prepared fresh. Love the hot and sour soup and sizzling fried rice soup.

We were in town for a couple of days and had a hankering for some Chinese. No other options without making a lengthy journey, and with the reviews posted by others, we were slightly apprehensive. The dining room had some other diners, but they seemed to have a lot of take out. The server was very friendly, and attended to us promptly. We were pleasantly surprised with how good the food was, considering the rather unsavory reviews. It was delicious and fresh, and we look forward to visiting again on our next trip read more

I meet friends for lunch here often. The service is great and so is the food. There's a huge variety of dishes on their menu and everything I've ordered is consistently good and well prepared. read more

It's really sad that I can't time travel and go back in time so I've never eaten this food. It's so bad. Don't go. I will now forever have this food experience with me. This is not Chinese food. It's almost a crime to even call it that because you put a bunch of Chinese decorations in this establishment. The pork chow fun is made with pho noodles and has no flavor. Please bring your own Sriracha to drown out the saddest Chinese food I've ever had. If there was a Panda Express in town, please go there. The egg foo young is made incorrectly and was available way too fast. Found out the dish was done so fast because it's a large dense pancake. If you've already ordered, just throw it in the trash. I was even more annoyed when I paid for takeout and they failed to disclaim that there was an additional service charge for using a credit card. Thank you for the lack of transparency. read more

Lee's Chinese Restaurant - "Pork Egg foo young" and "chow fun". These are terrible lies. Don't eat this. - Chinese Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

Lee's unassuming, drab exterior belies a charming and clean little restaurant on the inside. As far as ambiance and interior design goes, I think it's one of the best restaurants in Ft. Bragg. More than just a big room with tables and other restaurant-y stuff, and random memorabilia inside, someone has clearly put some thought into making this a nice place to have a comfortable meal with friends. The menu is pretty much what you'd expect in a Chinese restaurant in the US. Large, but not overwhelming, with all the usual dishes. The food quality was fair and, as others have noted, on the bland side. read more

I live in the area and my mom and I went for a lunch but had the worst experience ever! The waitress was incredibly rude and nasty (may have been one of the rudest waitress I have ever experienced) when we brought up the fact the food was cold and hard like it hadn't been cooked enough. She made rude comments and then way over charged us for the tiny cup of soup that was all we ate. The food tasted old and like it was straight from a frozen bag. My advice is DO NOT ever go to this Chinese restaurant. read more

Terrible! Supposed fried chicken appetizer, no meat, all greasy breading, small and half carton. WTF! read more

Lee's Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

I have my favorite restaurants in both Mendocino and Fort Bragg. Lee's has never been on that list. Back when I first moved to FB (35 years ago) and joined the local Audubon Board, our president used to pick up Chinese food for our board meetings from Ada Bell's (now thankfully--Café One). Yesterday, a friend invited me to meet her at Lee's (which is, BTW, FB's oldest restaurant.) It was nearly empty at lunchtime, though a few people came in and got food to go. Our server was charming. Now my favorite Chinese meal is Mu Shu. Even in San Francisco I've had very disappointing Mu Shu, so I quizzed our server. "Comes with plum sauce?" "Served with crepes, not--as I once had it in SF--flour tortillas?" I bravely ordered the vegetable Mu Shu and it was delicious. My friend had Chow Mein and loved it. Apparently, Fort Bragg has a really good Chinese restaurant right under our very noses and I loved it. read more

service was ok but she stuff us all on one side of the restaurant? seven tables butt to butt and it was very loud. Don't order the cashew chicken because there's a cup of chicken and four cups of celery and two pieces of bell pepper, and a half a dozen chestnuts absolutely horrible! appetizers and soup was good just don't go any further than that. if my stomach feels any worse i'll have to change this review. read more

Great spot in Fort Bragg. So so adorable and run by an amazing family. Ask them to make you garlic broccoli vs eggplant, I did. It was A+!!

Given that Lee's is the only "Chinese food" in town that's available, we tried for a 3rd time. It was so bad, even worse than the first 2 trys. Burnt, overdone, dripping in oil. Not ever going back. Better selection in the freezer section at Safeway!!! Signed very sad. read more

Love this place. The owners are so kind. Drop by for to go order for dinner. Drive from Elk. Gas , Groceries and the Lee's. Great place

I was here 7-20-2024 this place hands down the absolute worst Chinese food I have ever had. The war won ton soup noodles were not cooked. The lemon chicken was all batter no chicken at all. The egg rolls had nothing inside of them. I will never go back the only good thing was the ice water and hot mustard read more

The owner seemed friendly. Food was good wished they had skinny noodles for chowmein.

Great service, Mediocre food The name of the restaurant sounds authentic Chinese food to me but imho Panda Express has better food. Walked in at dinner time and only one couple were the only customers at the time. There was no hostess or server to lead us to a table. The female customer was the one that told us that we could sit anywhere we want... we chose a table by the front bay window, near the entrance. The female customer then proceeded to hand out menus to us. Wth, knock-knock, where's the hostess? I figured the couple were regulars at the restaurant and knew the owner/workers? We browsed through the menu. We decided with Chef Lee's Dinner for two people ($32.95). The menu included: Sizzling Rice Soup Egg Rolls & Fried Prawns Mongolian Beef Pineapple Sweet & Sour Chicken Steamed Rice Hot Tea & Cookies The meals came fairly quickly. The food was okay. I liked the sizzling rice soup but I was not impressed with the egg rolls & fried prawns (frozen, pre-packaged?). Had some of the Mongolian beef but lacked flavor. Didn't get to the pineapple sweet & sour chicken. We had better Chinese food in Chinatown in San Francisco. The cookies were fortune cookies. I don't know why I was thinking chocolate chip cookie or even almond cookie. Our server was really nice. No complaints. Be mindful that the restaurant does not accept credit cards, not even debit cards, so basically, cash only. Luckily, we had cash on hand. Street parking only. Located in the corner of E Redwood Avenue and N Franklin Street. Review #1111 read more

We had gone here for lunch and stepping back into wonderful time warp. The food was delicious just like the way we remember from San Francisco old Chinatown where I grew up. Recommend stopping here should you be craving for good old fashioned Cantonese style cooking. Something of an art that is past down from generation to generations. We had the Friday daily lunch specials and they also have one for every day of the week what's cool order anything ala-carte the menu looks very appetizing. We can't wait to go back sometime and try something new. read more

Worse Chinese food in California, you can not cook any rice noodle and call it Chou fun. Food was bland with no taste. BTW a scope of chili paste is $3.80, needed it for the bland taste read more

We always order from Asian Buffet in Ft Bragg. but they were closed so decided to try Lee's. What a mistake. They egg fu yung was tasteless. Not a vegetable to be seen. The chicken was a gummy sauce. Awful. The low mein (we got one veggie and one chicken) was also tasteless. $60 down the drain. So so sad. Asian Buffet please reopen soon. read more
