I like going late because the servings are great, the service is 50/50 but when I call to order the 3 or 4 soup to go because I'm in a hurry and I have a limit amount of time for lunch or to bypass the line they never have it ready!!! They forget to tell the chef to make it! They don't know who took the call!! Or just plane don't care!!! Last time they even gave me the wrong soup! After confirming to me the kind of soup i ordered. It's getting really annoying they say 10-15min I give them 20 and nothing! What's the point of ordering? I'm going to have to find another place to go. They raised the prices they can atleast have it ready for pick up!. read more

This was my first time coming here. I stopped by after going to ROSS because I got hungry. The chow mein was good, but the sesame chicken was tasteless and chewy -- I actually had to pull at it just to cut a piece. I also ordered the fried fish, which was okay. What I didn't like, besides the sesame chicken, was that they asked for a tip when paying with a card. A tip? For packaging food I just paid $15 for? No thanks. I understand times are tough for everyone, but I don't expect to tip for takeout service. I won't be coming back. read more

Before I ordered I asked a customer if the food was good. He said "Oh yes!!" LIES!! Food was nasty and not seasoned at all. I just wasted my money. I was charged for an egg roll that I didn't receive. The can of Sprite was good! Never coming back here again. YUCK!! Sweet & Sour Pork, yuck! Felt like I was chewing gum. I spit it out!! Ewww! Lemon Chicken, yuck!! Chicken Fried rice, what the heck, SUPER YUCK!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! read more

Lee's Garden - Sweet & Sour Pork, yuck! Felt like I was chewing gum Lemon Chicken, yuck!! Chicken Fried rice, what the heck, SUPER YUCK!! - Chinese Near Me - San Pablo, California

Do not waste your time. The restaurant is filthy. I walked in to order and they were throwing hot water from the woks they cook with onto the greasy kitchen walls. Nothing wrong with cleaning but cleaning while cooking at the same time is crazy. I swear that greasy water got into my soup. My soup was gelatinous. Flys everywhere. Chili oil is left uncovered in a large bowl to the left of the register. This place needs a city inspection. read more

The food was very poor quality. Now the stemmed vegetables looked ok and tofu but all the meat and rice was bad.

When did they start putting flour in their Egg Foo Young? And, where is the gravy? It's supposed to be light and airy. This is as thick as a double stack pancake, in each one. I wasn't ordering pancakes. I guess that ends my purchases of that item here. By the way, I've been a patron for 30 years, even when it used to be in the old building. read more

They need to fix their broken soda machine and update their credit card reader (too slow). Lady behind the counter was rude. Food was so-so. Not coming back. read more

I really enjoy coming here. They give you a good amount of food for the price. Although I have to admit that the quality of the egg rolls aren't all that great. They can be extremely oily at times. But other than that I think this place is fantastic read more

It depends on what time you go. If you go after 5:30 when no longer fresh don't bother. The food sitting under food lamp on the glass. Definitely go while fresh up to that time. It's always a line busy in there. Decent price and good food. read more

This place went downhill a lot. It used to be good and now, I would rather go to Panda Express. The quality of the food went downhill and it's extremely oily, greasy and mediocre at best. Service was quick but the person behind the counter was extremely rude. read more

Im doing it just because wend we ask for sweet and sour they sed no. Only 1 cup for 3 orders.why who knows. Foods good bad service

Hear me out. If you're interested in fine dining, this may not be your place. The prices are very reasonable. The food is also good. I don't really venture out and try other items. I stick to my go-to. Ginger or sesame chicken and string beans. The service may not always be 5 stars. The family that runs it doesn't speak English very well, and they will accidentally skip you if you aren't paying attention. However, I think this place is worth trying if you want some quick Chinese food without having to break your pockets. This place is takeout only read more

Lee's Garden - Half rice Half chow mein. Ginger chicken with string beans - Chinese Near Me - San Pablo, California

Don't bother coming here unless you're looking to pay 25cents for an extra chili oil sauce. This was my first time coming here after initially deciding I didn't like how thick their chow mein was but decided to give it another shot after two years. Not only did I get ignored after asking if they had siracha packets, but after asking a second time and being told no I saw they had the mini chili oil and asked for one but again was ignored and had to ask for it before I left. When I asked for a second one she looked at me impatient and annoyed and said it'll be 25cents. Mind you the sauce is like an inch on all sides. Usually I don't comment or care to leave a review because I'm usually very patient and understanding but if you're already having a hard day, choose the one on San Pablo Ave called Asia Delight. This isn't the first and only time I had been given bad service here but it was my fault for going back. read more

Have gone to this dump twice in the past month and each time, the older woman behind the counter, has been extremely rude!!!! For whatever reason, my senior aged mother likes going here. After the way she was treated today, I'll make sure we never step foot in this place again! My mother was having trouble typing in her pin number on the hand held credit/debit card reader. Instead of assisting my mother, the woman behind the counter, yelled at her saying that there was no money in her account. Not only was this uncalled for but it was rude and embarrassing! I stepped in and told the woman not to yell at my mother and that there was money in the account. My mother gave me her pin and I entered the numbers for her....and yes, it was approved!!!! So so food and horrible rude service!!!!! read more

This spot I wanted to root for. Nice enough service, large portion sizes, line moved fast and everything smells good. However, smells can be deceiving. If you're starving, this food will do. I was not starving. I got the 3 appetizers chow mein, sesame chicken and beef with broccoli. Again, huge portion sizes so I was looking forward to it! It tastes off. Like knock off Panda Express is the nicest way I can put it. The meat was chewy in the wrong way with lots more sinew than meat. Broccoli is over boiled (didn't know you could do that) and the chow mein noodles were too plastic-y and chewy. Unfortunately I couldn't finish this meal. Won't be back if the most basic of things doesn't improve aka THE FOOD. read more

Found multiple hairs in my food, there was also a burnt clump of rice that also had many more hairs......

Lee's Garden - Worm found on my food. Never go here!!! - Chinese Near Me - San Pablo, California

Good old Lees Garden. Yes the food is mediocre at best but this place was what kept 90% of Richmond's 2010 youth fed. Going to CCC to take some whack as general ed that I never finished was never completed without a 5$ stack of lees. 5$ would feed you and a friend. 10/10 would recommend if it was 2010 and I was 17 again with only 5$ to my name. read more

Lee's Garden - They need tip to fill your food - Chinese Near Me - San Pablo, California

I'm going to take a hard pass on Lee's Garden. We went there tonight to get a quick bite and left kind of irritated. We waited patiently for the person in front of us to complete her order and next thing you know someone who just walked in is being helped. I immediately spoke up and said we were next only about 3 times progressively getting louder. I finally said "Hello! We were next!" The guy/customer finally says "Oh they were next!' I was wondering does everyone in here have cotton in their ears or what?! The server never said a word, greeting or apology. I really can't and shouldn't have spent my money there. It was under $15 for two items but the food is mediocre at best. I know I give great service at my job and I expect it at places where I spend my hard earned cash. We will be going elsewhere next time. read more

This is a solid Chinese food place. Parking in the overall plaza can be tight, however, parking directly in front of the restaurant is always accessible. The prices are super good. For about $8 you can get either rice/chow-mein (or half and half) and sides. I have always been a fan of these type of Chinese food steam table places because you can easily see what you want! If there is a lie, know that it moves super quickly! read more

This place has the WORST customer service ever! I would never come back here, so we paid for our food & we asked for the hot oil pepper & sweet & sour sauce, the old lady picks up the phone and starts arguing with the damn person on the phone and walks away frm the register! I got irritated! Why tf who would you start arguing on the phone and walk around hella dumb & forget you had customers to serve! It's not right for customers to wait for your incompetent ass to do us a solid which was just grab the hot oil pepper & S&S sauce below you. Smh, you're better off going to a different Lee's garden! read more

Cheap Chinese food. Less than 6 bucks for 3 sides plate. Speedy fast. Loaded my styrofoam box with MOUNDS of food. There's no skimping here! Hunan chicken was super spicy --- super good! Egg roll had lots of pepper in it...spicy -- yum! I still had enough leftovers to eat for dinner. Will definitely go here again. If you're thinking of going to Panda, go here and save $. read more

The service staff do not speak English or Mandarin. The service is too poor. An extra fast food plate will cost 25 cents

I have been to this place for years, they are very nice and reasonable price in there. They have a note says .50 cents charge for under $10 amount. The tips is optional, you can choose not pay tips, therefore, I think everything is reasonable and acceptable for us when we buy food there! read more

As of a year or so ago it went downhill. New owners? New staff? Prices went up while the quality went down. Wanted to charge me for 1 full pound of BBQ pork while only getting less than 1/4lb. as weighed. Pretended not to speak English when asked questions. read more

Witnessed what I believe to be two health code violations while waiting to be served. First, the cook came over and dumped a huge piile I'd lo mwun on top of the existing supply. Are they not supposed to rotate the food?' Then they had a giant bowl of fried fish just sitting on the counter. Who know how log it had been sitting before she came over, took the old tray out of and dumped the old crumbs of fish in the trash... Tapping the pan on the side of the trash. Then put the pan back in the display and dumped the bowl of fresh fish into the contaminated tray. Really!!! I don't know about you but I don't want my serving dishes touching trash cans!!!! If I were a health inspector, I'd fine them severely for that behavior. How could they think this OK behavior? How many times per day do they have trash can contamination? Yuk!!! read more

Been going for a couple years, great food I love it, it's just that I been seeing a lot of Big flies recently. I just saw 3 big green flies go onto the food and just lay a bunch of eggs on the rice. I don't know about that. read more

I've been coming to this place for over 10 years and I don't know if it's because of Covid that they started charging $.25 just for some little tiny Sriracha container for the food that I ordered and it was a three item order. I would say their customer service honestly is terrible if I didn't enjoy Chinese food like I did then I would honestly never go here and because of today's service I probably just may never go back anyways. read more

Eat this at your own risk. I'm baffled how you can make poor quality food AND provide terrible customer service and still be in business! The food is cheap for a reason. Buyers beware unless you want to eat a bucket of grease. read more

I ordered the fried rice, sesame chicken and green beans. The rice had no flavor. The sesame chicken was too hard. The green beans were fine. I want a refund! This is my second visit and their food has not improved :( read more

The food was decent but the attitude of the server was very poor and unprofessional. Also, the server wore the same gloves to get the food as she did to handle the money which is very unsanitary. read more

Yummy little spot. Fried shrimp are my fav. They make a mean fried rice. Nice staff, lotsa fresh options hot and ready to order. I like this place, I'm craving it right now as a matter of fact. Best deal here is the combo plates. Great appetizers. Good hot chili oil. Great prices. Love this place! read more

Not a friendly place to dine. The staff is very gossipy and racist. I went here to eat lunch with my mom and sister, as we were waiting to order I noticed two men who were staff staring and speaking about my mother and I. Then when it came time to pay the cashier was trying to scam my mom who barely speaks english into tipping the amount that she wanted to get. I quickly intervened and chose what I thought she even deserved. She repeatedly started saying "small,small,small" as to indicate I tipped a small amount. I just ignored her. As we were eating a elderly woman of color walked in and they all stared. When she walked out they all started talking about her and laughing while staring at her walking out of the establishment. For the food, it is extremely oily and flavorless. If you are looking for a nice meal and a peaceful lunch this is not the place! read more

Was craving some Chinese food, was in the area so decided to try this place. The noodles were greasy, the fried rich was meh, the broccoli for the broccoli and beef needs to be cut up a bit more. I don't believe I had any beef with it (not complaining too much, I need the veggies). I also had sweet and sour pork. Not the greatest. Walking in and picking my sides, the woman didn't have the best attitude. The credit card machine took a while, not sure if it was human error or their internet connection is just too slow. They have huge portions, food is ok for fast food. I may come back when I'm not looking for amazing food but need a quick bite. read more

Really delicious and fresh food! Loved the sesame chicken and henan chicken too with chicken chow mien.

This place is the slowest pre made Chinese restaurant Everton the face of the earth. Simple because they haven't figured out the assembly line trick when it come to ordering food. The say the open at 10:30 and the actual open at 10 but the food is not prepared till 11:15. Smh why even open if there is absolutely no food ready to be served??? This place needs to get it together. Food is not bad but the wait for it is far too long. read more
