been eating here since the 1980's great food great service but not so clean , excellent

Food: I got the Shrimp Fried Rice and Sweet and Sour Chicken lunch special recently. It came with soup (I got The Egg Drop Soup) and Crab Rangoons. The Shrimp Fried Rice was good! The Sweet and Sour Chicken was good. The Egg Drop Soup was just ok. The Crab Ragoons were good. Drinks: N/A Service: N/A I haven't dined in yet Atmosphere: N/A read more

Lee's Chop Suey - Sweet and Sour Chicken/Shrimp Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Awful. We called after an hour and half, and they said they were too busy to make our order.

The search for our neighborhood Chicago chinese spot may have finally right here with Lee's! We've been in the neighborhood for a little over a year and and have driven past a ridiculous amount of times. One night when we didn't feel like cooking we decided to give this place a Lee's a call. It took a little longer thank the average Chinese food place, but that's because they've been slammed with orders every time we go (yes, we have returned 2-3 times since our initial visit.) I never see anyone dining in, but it looks clean and a little dark. The The eggrolls are Thicccc and have a unique, yet delicious flavor. I've heard it's due to peanut butter so if you have an allergy just beware. We went with some of the staples: General Tso's chicken Shrimp fried Rice Egg Fu Yung Sweet and Sour Chicken BBQ pork No complaints on this end from any of the dishes. You don't go to a Chinese food place for outstanding service. You go for delicious, stick to your ribs comfort and this definitely delivered. Trying to make sure this place stays between 3.4-3.75 IYKYK read more

Cute little place but unfortunately the food and service was just so bad. It was cold, the chicken tasted off, and the silverware was sticky and dirty. I wish I could say better since I wanted to support them. read more

Got the lunch special. Came with an egg drop soup, egg roll, chicken fried rice, and bbq pork chop suey. An insane amount food for just under $10. While the food was cheap, it wasn't that good. The soup was okay, but the fried rice lacked flavor. It lacked any savory or umami flavors. The chop suey was a new dish for me and I had no idea what to expect. I liked the veggies, but the bbq pork was thick cut ham and had very little resemblance to bbq. The only thing that I would come back for was the egg roll. It was crispy and had some peanut butter in it which was unique. read more

Lee's Chop Suey - Egg Drop Soup, Egg Roll (1), Chicken Fried Rice, and BBQ Pork Chop Suey - A takeout meal includes a container of fried rice with chicken, a portion of stir-fried vegetables with mushrooms and cabbage, a cup of egg drop soup, and a partially eaten bread roll on a wooden table. There are also plastic utensils, a small packet of mustard, and an empty plastic tray in the background. - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I picked up dinner here after ordering on an app in advance. Although the food was good, I never received my egg rolls. When I called, they said they would give them to me next time- free of charge. But unfortunately , when I came back they claimed they had no record of the issue. Sad to see businesses lose customers since they don't have honor or integrity read more

Not good I just spent 40 plus dollars on large chicken fried rice with extra bean sprouts and extra green onions 10 chicken wings flats with tips which I was told they only have 10 pieces I wanted 6 pieces.4 vegetables egg rolls very greasy the rice was not fried rice with white pieces of chicken No color at all the bean sprouts was raw not cook place on top I call to tell the person she said the cook said that's the color of the rice sometimes light and sometimes dark I WANTED FRIED RICE WITH COLOR the way it supposed to be cook.I'm so Not happy with my order I wasted 40# dollars read more

I was blown away by the taste of my take out dinners from Lee's in the last couple of months. It was several entrees like sesame chicken, Hunan chicken, Singapore noodles, shrimp lo mein, chicken fried rice, shrimp fried rice, eggs rolls, crab rations, pot stickers, chicken wings, and much more! However, I decided to order a sesame chicken lunch special for my lunch which I picked up and I was very disappointed when I ate it. The eggs roll had an after taste that was almost sour, the sesame chicken tasted over cooked and/or old almost if it had been reheated and the chicken fried rice had parts of un cooked rice, it had no flavor, and may have also have been reheated. I do not recommend the lunch specials. read more

Mixed bag. I probably never would've given this place a shot had a not recently read a food article praising this place. The Yelp average is far more in line with expectations than the GrubHub average which seems to constantly trend higher. I ordered the crab rangoon, general tso's shrimp and an egg roll for my husband. The menu is heavy on chop suey, chow mein, and egg foo young; it reminded me of places we ordered from when I was a kid. The rangoon was solid, the sauce looked like NyQuil, but tasted better than I would've expected. The shrimp wasn't great and I'm glad I chose the small size. TIP: the menu doesn't place the chili pepper consistently next to spicy dishes. Spicy wise this was spot on, if not a bit spicier than I would've liked. Flavor wise it was like they repurposed a plate of orange shrimp. Every bite was equal parts spicy and sweet; I didn't enjoy it. To be fair, I thought I'd ordered kung pao shrimp, so maybe my expectations were off. My husband got a single egg roll as he only wanted a small snack; I assume it was good as I heard no complaints. It was very big. Overall, it's not terrible, but I wouldn't say I'm a big fan either. read more

This is what I'll call a "sunny day eatery". Because they basically discourage you from dining in. How? Here's some hints. It's winter time, walk in the booths are as cold as ice, you can literally see your breath. Summer, same bullshit in reverse, you'll sweat bullets. Forget about walking in at 11:30 when they finally mosey in, figure another 40 minutes time to get up and running, and if you're dining in, to get 2 degrees warmer inside. Yeah,, it's gotten that bad. Some of their food is decent, Egg Foo Young, good Egg Rolls, Soups, a super Hot Chile Pepper Oil, but the other condiments suck. Hot Mustard that was mixed up 2 years prior, Dayquil Plum Sauce, and the nastiest Soy Sauce you'll ever taste. Those condiments I discourage eating, do get them in the little plastic packages! read more

Gosh my dinner was so good! I got bbq pork lo mein and the noodles were sooo good and perfect texture . The chicken tastes fresh general tso was amazing too ! read more

Best Shrimp Egg Fu Young and Egg Rolls in Chicago. The Won Ton Soup is outstanding as well coupled with Quick Delivery with a smile

I would give 3.5 stars. I paid 24 for a Large fried rice and a small sweet and sour chicken. Kind of pricy. Chicken was plain and did not have a lot of flavor. Fried rice was not bad at all Also the restaurant has actual seats and it's cozy for a Friday night dinner. read more

I love this place and it's great for takeout or dine-in. They have the best egg rolls and potstickers. Everything I've tried has been good.

Good everyday Chinese food - Fried rice, egg rolls and sweet and sour chicken, and Teriyaki beef are our go-tos.

Lee's food is always consistent and AMAZING! BEST EGG ROLLS! We also love how they have Cantonese pan fried noodles - hard to find sometimes! The staff is so nice as well! We frequently order for takeout and are never disappointed. read more

Well not quite like my other usual Chinese restaurant but it's decent. My college friend mentioned about it and I kinda wanted a change than my usual Chinese restaurant. The hot and sour soup was ok. It wasn't too salty like some places but it was a little watery. The thickness of the soup was lacking. The egg rolls was good too. Very big in portion wise. The Mongolian beef was unique to the other Chinese restaurant l have been going to. They added more gravy and did use onion leaves. They used sliced onion bulbs which was also going. The stir fry broccoli which my friend ordered and shared was delicious, healthy and generous portion. The shrimp toast was also delicious but was unique in how it was cooked and presented. Other than that will be a place to go back every now and then. Parking will be a challenge read more

Good tasting food, have not had a bad meal. Price is reasonable and portions a great ....fast delivery

My wife is in her 70's, and she went to Lees as a kid. To last that long, you know it has to be good. It isn't upscale fine dining, but it is really good old school stomach filling food. The lunch specials are great, and be sure to get the egg rolls read more

I really like Lee's. No frills Chinese American take out at a great price. This is the only restaurant that has never messed up my delivery order and I value that. My go to: ham fried rice, sweet + sour chicken, beef lo mein, wonton soup, + crispy noodles. 10/10 read more

30$ for 3 small dishes of the worst Chinese food ever. I don't generally leave comments on yelp, but this food is downright the worst I've had. Based on past comments seems like it used to be good, but not anymore. The chow mein was just boiled flavorless chicken with soy bean sprouts, no noodles, but crispy noodles on a bag. Gral tsaos was chicken nuggets. We didn't finished it. If you are looking for Chinese food just go somewhere else. read more

Surprisingly really tasty Chinese option in Logan Square. Their prices are slightly higher than surrounding areas but I'm thinking it may just be worth it. Everything isn't perfect but it's pretty darn good. Sesame chicken could be a bit more sweet but overall the flavor is delicious, the chicken is moist and overall a good dish. The same goes for their orange chicken...could use slightly more tang or sweetness, but overall really tasty dish and I'd get both main dishes again. Their potstickers are huge! They aren't just huge but packed full of meat with thick dough, everything tasting awesome together. They were a bit too oily...okay, a lot too oily. I could do without that, for sure. I ended up wrapping them with paper towels to get rid of some of the oil. Yummy egg rolls and good crab rangoon full of the imitation crab. Loved all the food options at Lee's...could do with slightly less oil....and perhaps a few extra dollars in my pocket! read more

*IGNORE THE NEGATIVE VIEWS* I've been going to lease since i was a shawty! And to this day it still taste the SAME! Best Chinese spot i ever been to, and the service is great! Just dont be snobby and uptight. Coming from a black person read more

This food reminds of what Chef's Special was supposed to be, old school Americanized Chinese classics, but wasn't able to accomplish. It also reminds me of a 90's all you can eat Chinese buffet in a good way. No item will blow you away, but the nostalgia factor is fine. I'd stick Youngs as my go to for this style, but glad I gave it a try. Sweet and sour chicken, egg rolls, hot and sour and orange chicken worth ordering again. I'd stick the overly dark meat sesame and moo shu chicken in the future. More of a 3.5 but not a 4. read more

Old fashioned Cantonese food reminds me of the Chinese restaurants I went to as a kid in the 60's before anyone had heard of Hunan or Szechuan. Tasty, good portions and reasonable prices. read more

We came and there was no one here. Food was cold and they were not busy. Old and worn place. Not so clean eww

Reading some of the negative reviews I was skeptical after already ordering.. took advice from a friend It was yummy! No complaints! It's your standard Chinese delivery. The Mongolian beef was tender and saucy with a better flavor than we've had most places. Veg fried rice was good too.. not a ton of veg, but rice was cooked properly as well as the veg. Would definitely order from there again! And they gave you plenty of soy packets unlike other Chinese deliveries. Would recommend for a night on the couch being lazy and want some good delivery Chinese read more

Ordered delivery for a pretty large crowd late at night and everything came relatively quickly, hot, & delicious! Their egg rolls (large) and beef lo mein (flavorful!) are THE BEST in the city after trying manyyyy places. read more

This has got to be the worst Chinese restaurants I have ever tried me whole life. Can anyone screw up fire rice? Yup, this place. Their fried rice had no flavor, they need to know that sal, pepper and soy sauce are their best none of which were included in my dishes. Their pork has a really odd taste, the beef in the fried rice was mainly fat. I'd never eat here if this was the last place on earth. read more

First time having lee chop sueys Mongolian beef Dumplings Black bean chicken Bbq beef Shrimp fried rice Fast delivery *came around 40 min we were told 45-115 Paid online over yelp! Great not to have to phone them! Food came hot! Only thing is i was worried to eat the dunplings as the meat inside was pink color so i wasnt sure if thats how its suppose to be (inexperienced maybe) read more

Food is excellent here!!!!!!! I mostly go to Lee's for pick up- the decor okay, somewhat old school cool!

Wow, Lee's quality has dropped off immensely since my last review. Only a handful items (potstickers, wonton soup) from the menu is ok but, much like their other dishes it's starting to slip in quality. I dont know if its a whole new cook or the cook just doesnt give a shit anymore. For example, they had great eggrolls where you can taste every individual ingredient inside. Now it's glop whch looks like peanut paste inside the eggroll which makes it taste like it's unfinished. General Tsos chicken came out too sweet even after I ordered it extra spicy. Its wasnt even mildly spicy. Nor was our Szechwan shrimp. Whats the point of having an indicator on their menu showing that certain dishes are spicy hot when theyre not. If anything, its barely mild. Chicken chow mein has always come in a light sauce but here it comes out watery and dark. Even when they were good they had some of these issues but it was minor at the moment. But now they let these problems grow and its out of hand. It shows they no longer care. You pay more for bad quality now. I know this is Americanized Chinese food but that doesnt mean they should drop in quality in making delicious food. As a former loyal customer of Lee's for over 20 years, tonight was the last night I'll order from them. read more

Good food but issue win then answering the phone. Would be nice to have someone answer the damn phone.

This place is AMAZING! I found it when I was craving egg rolls. I scrolled through reviews of Chinese places where the egg rolls sounded like what I was looking for and decided to give Lee's a try. I was not disappointed! The egg rolls they serve are big and delicious! Their pot stickers aren't what you normally get when you order a pot sticker. The dough is thicker but they are still very good! read more

Reviews have failed me yet again. The only item worth mention and different to any other Chinese restaurant in the city is their egg roll. They took the egg roll contents and tossed it with a Thai peanut sauce then fried it and the result is a piping hot egg roll with significant taste. The taste is mildly peanutty, some would easily think the egg roll had a bit of peanut butter inside. Does peanut butter or peanut satay sauce appeal to you? I used a combination of sweet and sour sauce and sriracha to balance the flavor for my taste buds. I had one egg roll I took to go which I reheated the next day. Warmed in the toaster oven and the taste had changed. That day the contents tasted hella salty, what happened?? One thing that bothered me about the meal overall was the feel of oil. Everything was oily. The shrimp toast appetizer was like a sponge for oil, not something I want to ever eat again. All of our dishes had an oily feel to them which left us feeling gross. A full night planned stopped short soon after dinner. An appetizer plate for two, General Tso's chicken and Orange beef. Cost $42 dollars with tax and tip. Twenty dollars per person seemed too high a burden for bad food and no free hot tea! Everything tasted the same, especially the entrees. The only difference, orange zest in the sauce for the beef dish and crushed red pepper flakes in the sauce of the General Tso's. The Tso's chicken tasted overcooked or pre-made and then applied to sauce. It had that consistency for me and did not win either of us over. I still have a full order of it, hate to throw it out, but I'm not going to eat it. Orange beef I won't even bother, it wasn't good, more average really. The draw for me was the restaurant. Reminded me of Chinese restaurants I frequented as a kid with my folks. Fanciful, lit, paper lantern chandeliers with colors of red and green. Red tassels hanging down from the lanterns. Old school Asian inscribed chairs and some tables. Cloudy windows from years of keeping in the smells of prepared foods. The name Lee's Chop Suey, I don't ever eat chop Suey. Wikipedia it if you don't know. In the 80's there were many "chop Suey" named Chinese restaurants that were decent. This was just average and grossly overrated. If I ever happen back, I have to give them the spicy taste testing. An order of shrimp fried rice and some kind of meat in garlic spice, both made spicy. If it comes out with flavor and a good amount of spice, I'd redo the review. read more
