    Exterior - next to Bori and Sherman Williams

    3 stars - this may be our go to Cantonese comfort food!!! Food- it's good! Love they also have the rice noodles which you rarely see as a dish (unless you're in vancouver). The rice noodle is a little thin but still so good. Flavor of all the food was good except not getting hot sour soup again (too spicy for me). - they also offer light appetizer (salted peanuts) I gather complimentary that I declined. Ambiance- cute and homey. Service- husband ordered and paid everything online. The lady that helped us was really nice when present. Limited English. She wasn't present when we needed her so we self served things we needed at the bus station. Value- fair, not expensive. Parking- there is a parking lot. Recommend- YES

    Authentic Chinese food here. Don't expect just Kung Pao and General Tao's chicken. That may be a plus for some, or a negative for others. Also, don't expect a lot of English to be spoken here. Ordering is mostly done by QR code or tablets. The staff is not rude but don't expect to be doing a lot of chatting with them. The food is good but some of the dishes are a little too authentic for me. My experience is that it can take some time to get your order as other reviews have noted. My recommendation is to get takeout or delivery from Lee's,, especially if you don't speak Mandarin or Cantonese, with the expectation that it will take a while for your order to be ready for pickup or delivery. The interior seems a little "sterile ", but it is a big improvement since new ownership a few years ago,

    Clay pot rice
    Huong L.

    I was really excited for this place as they have the clay pot rice dish. I was prepared to wait as others have mentioned it can take 30-45 minutes for the dish. We came right when they open and there was already a few people there. We immediately placed the order for the clay pot and then took our time deciding on our other dishes. We ended up getting the beef shrimp rice rolls and the popcorn chicken. We originally wanted chicken wings but they didn't have any. The place is mostly self service. You place the order on the QR code. You can grab your own utensils and bowls at one of their stations. They also have a little side bar of pickled veggies, jalapenos, peanuts and crispy wonton. You even pay through the QR code. It definitely got busy as people started to come in but it wasn't super hectic or loud. Rice rolls 5/5 - really really good. Thin rice rolls, good proteins. Popcorn chicken 3.5/5 -- decent, had a good flavor and texture but I wouldn't call it popcorn chicken Clay pot rice --1/5 -- considering how long we waited for this dish, I was definitely disappointed. It definitely took around 30 minutes for this dish to come out. The picture doesn't show it but it was 3/4 rice and 1/4 protein and veggies. The other dowside was the rice was very bland. The marinated meat and veggies didn't get absorbed into the rice so I had to use soy sauce to get some flavor. The rice does have the burned texture though but that was all. Overall, I would come back for the rice roll, but nothing else.

    Specialty Braised Pork Hock
    Justin C.

    Lee's Kitchen is located in Factoria. My family and I were looking to try a new spot in the area since it's close to home. We did not end up liking at all and found a lot of the food to be pretty bland or lacking in flavor and will not be coming back. We tried 3 different rice rolls and some other dishes but overall was not a good experience. They do have a wide variety of options though like ramen among other chinese dishes. Staff: nice (4/5) Sanitation status: 4/5 Beef Noodle Soup (1/5) The soup had no flavor, the beef was at least tender but there wasn't a whole lot of it. The noodles were a good consistency but I couldn't get over the soup tasting like hot water. Specialty Braised Pork Hock (3/5) The pork hock was the dish with the most flavor out of what we got. The flavoring was definitely soy sauce but it was hard to distinguish what other flavors there were. It was at least pretty tender and fall apart. Rice Rolls with Beef Brisket (2/5) The rice rolls when I ate it with my family was pretty inedible. The consistency was off and kind of chewy. The Beef Brisket that it came with was pretty good which was the dish's redeeming factor but the sauce that accompanied the noodles did not have enough flavor.

    Good place to get Chinese American food and authentic Chinese food. The food was okay, wish there was more meat. I'd come back and get something else though.

    Outdoor Ramen Menu

    Upon the time of this review, I have tried two different Lee's Kitchen locations - one in Redmond, and this one here in Factoria. There are lots of Szechuan Chinese restaurants opening on Eastside, so Cantonese restaurants are welcome surprises! I have been to this Lee's Kitchen twice, once on a Wednesday and once on a Friday, and both times had no wait time for seating. The restaurant itself is located in a shopping plaza, so finding parking is straightforward. As another review has mentioned, the interior started out quite small and grew to include a hallway on the left side of the restaurant that has a walkway with more tables. Service is done through the QR code menu on the tables, and there are appetizers/condiments/utensils at the front of the restaurant on the right hand side. On onto the food - I think the food here is really solid! You get a good amount of food per order and it tastes delicious! I'll review a couple of items below: Lo mein: I've got the Lo mein twice here, one beef brisket and one with pork ($16 - $18). The egg noodles were perfect in my opinion - very chewy and just soaks up the sauce in the bowl nicely, and they probably give you about 1.5/2 handfuls of noodles so you will get comfortably full. The meat is tender and hearty - parts of the brisket are a good type of chewy and the pork was decadent since they give you generous thick slices of it. Rice Rolls ($8 - $11): I have tried the rice rolls three times (!) here at Lee's Kitchen because I think they do it amazingly. The rice roll itself is paper thin and is extremely pleasant to eat. It starts off chewy but then just slowly disintegrates as you continue to eat it, and it mixes really nicely with the fillings, which can range from shrimp, pork, and beef. I haven't had a dim sum place yet do rice rolls this nicely. Pork Nanning Noodle ($15): I think this is the definition of a hearty homestyle Chinese dish. Generous amounts of food here and very warming to your body - would be absolutely amazing on a cold day! This dish will definitely fill up the vast majority of people if they were to enjoy it solo. Delicious black bean flavor paired with some pickled veg that gives the broth a subtle sauerkrauts-esque sourness that wakes up your taste buds. Makes me wanna visit Nanning one day to try it! In Factoria, there aren't too many interesting places to eat at, and I am glad that Lee's Kitchen opened up a location here. I think price, quantity, and quality-wise, Lee's Kitchen is pretty competitive given the restaurant scene nearby. I would totally revisit Lee's Kitchen at this location to try their other options!

    Sampan Congee Chinese Deep-Fried Dough Stick Signature Beef Brisket Rice Roll
    Laurel C.

    This is a mom and pop shop! A little understaffed, but good food. The food took a little long to all get to the table, so some people were done eating by the time the final food arrived. The inside is clean and a lot of the experience is self-serve. I think that's expected for a mom and pop shop, but still ends up as a 3 star experience. It hits the spot when craving homey Chinese food though!! If I were closer, I would get takeout here every once in a while. The sampan congee was good!

    Incredible menu selections to choose for everyone, friendly service. Really like the menu ordering workflow that you can order directly from your phone,

    Jasmine K.

    First time visiting this location. It was quite crowded during lunch, but there was no wait time. The staff were friendly, though clearly busy cooking. Prices are reasonable and the location is convenient. A great spot for a quick lunch or casual meal in the neighborhood.

    Chicken stew --taste a little bland wish it was served hot

    For me having dim sum is much like having fried chicken or meatloaf. It's comfort food, not…read morenecessarily fine dining. So like meatloaf I want it to be simple, predictable, and comforting. I don't need a chef wildly experimenting with my siu mai, or dabbling with my baked hom bow. My analysis of Sun Sui Wah, very nice interior, ok service, solid food. Was it a few dollars more than similar fare in Seattle, yes. But I also didn't have to drive to Seattle, not to mention put up with the street spectacle that now exists in the International District. It gets 5 stars because it delivers as promised.

    Service : nonexistent Food: 9/10…read morePrice: standard but not worth for the horrible service. We spent about $600 for a party of 9. Would rather go to Diamond Bay, Tasty Szechuan, Royal Kitchen, (can see why they're busy and packed on a holiday weekday night and Sun Sui Wah is not) Went here for dinner for my grandma's 89th birthday with a party of 9 at 7pm. We ordered dishes typical of a 10 course meal including crab, Peking duck, live fish, rice, noodles, veggies, seafood, etc. The food was really good and didn't take too long to come out. Everything tasted good and we were all enjoying the family meal together and that's why I am giving 1 star because we will not be coming back. The service was absolutely horrible; ruined our dinner and wasted an extra 1-1.5hr of everybody's time. There was only 2 other tables in the restaurant and the servers started having dinner together at a table instead of working. I would understand if we were high maintenance customers or were giving them attitude but we did not. My cousin and I have both been FOH and BOH staff so we try to be understanding and patient when it comes to service especially coming from a Chinese background too. However, we asked for water several times, they never refilled anyone's water or the tea even once at this point it was end of dinner and 5 out of the 6 of us had completely empty glasses for about 30 minutes. We finally got water when we signaled to the Busser and he went to tell the same server again. We finished eating and decided to pay first so my grandma wouldn't try to pay. We tipped 18% off the bill since we were a large party and I wasn't about to punish all the workers for some water but what happened after made everything much worse. We asked for togo boxes and the server lady just dropped them off stared at our table and left. I was already wondering why she was seeming to be upset but seems like we were interrupting their dinner because 3 or 4 chinese servers were eating together at the table at the front when my sister's boyfriend went to pay. (That's why we didnt have water) I don't mind the workers needing to eat because I have been in their shoes before but please provide some service if you still have customers inside the restaurant waving at you. We wanted to leave just as much as they probabaly wanted to close at 10 pm(it was around 830ish now) We noticed that the cake they had been holding for us in the fridge was just sitting at another table in the restaurant. They saw us go grab it ourselves. We packed all the leftovers and started putting our dirty dishes and stuff onto the table because the workers were doing nothing. They saw that we were done but didn't want to stop their 8:30pm dinner I guess. Finally we asked them to bring us plates and clear the table. I have never had to ask the Chinese servers at any restaurant to clear the table before dessert, normally they do it for you, especially after you just tipped them almost $100 lol. The Chinese servers sent the bus boy to clear our table and guess what returned to their dinner! We again asked them for plates for the cake. It took so long to the point my sister missed picking up her prescription at 9pm. Not sure if the dim sum service is better but I'm pretty sure those 5 star service reviews are from the chinese servers' friends and/or family. Or the servers are taught to do nothing besides get the order and drop it off. Unfortunaly we will not be spending money at this establishment again because of the service and will be telling our family and friends in Issaquah and Bellevue to choose better places for sit down family meals. Hope others enjoy their meals because the food is still good

    ROYAL KITCHEN @ BELLEVUE (crossroads)…read more Parking is pretty tight here, especially on the weekends when it gets super busy. Luckily, we were able to find a spot right out front, so I'd recommend slowly circling around and keeping an eye out for people leaving. I found this spot through Yelp and had been really craving good Chinese food, so I was super excited to finally try it. My family and I came without a reservation and were seated immediately, even though the restaurant was very busy. This place is definitely known for larger parties, there were lots of families and extended families dining together, which really gave it a classic family-style vibe. You order a bunch of dishes and share a little bit of everything, which I love. The staff were really friendly and greeted us right away with complimentary tea. Fun fact: in the mornings, tea is sometimes an extra charge, but in the evening it's free. We ordered a few dishes, including the honey walnut shrimp (which is my go-to order at any Asian restaurant), salt and pepper squid, house special vermicelli noodles, and Chinese broccoli. The vermicelli was a clear noodle dish loaded with different proteins like BBQ pork, squid, and shrimp. Everything had great flavor, but my absolute favorite was definitely the honey walnut shrimp. It was perfectly crispy and delicious. My only complaint is the portion size for the price, it was about $21 for roughly 10 pieces of shrimp, which felt pretty expensive. Overall, the portions were on the smaller side for what you're paying. Toward the end of the meal, they treated us to a complimentary papaya soup, which was a light, fruit-based dessert soup and a really nice way to finish. Our total came out to about $80, so it's definitely on the pricier side for Chinese food. That said, the food was delicious, the service was great, and if you're in the Bellevue area, I'd still recommend stopping by.

    CHECK your bill here!!!!!!!!…read more We took our daughters from out of town for Sunday dim sum. Longtime family tradition!! And while we have often gone to the CID In Seattle, for many years and almost exclusively in recent years we have gone here and the previous business at the same location. I highly recommend this place and in my opinion the staff is usually always fantastic and they bring the food fast!! Today the service and food was fantastic and ordered so much it almost didn't fit on a 4 top table. We love leftover dim sum! But at the end of the meal they brought me the completed card with a total at the bottom. Didn't look beyond the total before tip and just gave the nice (very young) hostess my card. A server brought back just the two credit card slips and the price was seemingly $20 more than what was presented to me on the service card!?? I politely asked to see the bill again and then a longhgggh wait...... Then a heavily altered card was brought back showing the new total. I was not happy suddenly and asked why it was altered from the first one etc and a big argument from the server began that I didn't proliferate but she kept on and on and could not explain why all the changes by pen and saying that she was honest etc. insisting we "do the math" over and over Now we may have ordered that much food, but I know for a fact that the bill was clean written without alterations and $20 less than the corrected one. But still she couldn't give me a valid explanation for the changes and new total. In my opinion the high school age hostess made a mistake adding up before presenting the total to me and someone else edited it before running my card. If they had just admitted that I would not have been so disappointed. I don't believe that the staff here are dishonest and understand about mistakes but they did not handle it very diplomatically and it was a scene I didn't want to make. But I know that this was not the total presented to me for payment! Take a pic of your service card before sending the credit card to be run!!! It absolutely ruined our family outing and everyone was quiet in the car ride home. Not cool!!

My friend and I decided to check out Lee's Kitchen when we got off the Overlake Station on the 2 Line, and I kid you not, we waited over an hour for our food. Lee's Kitchen is located in a business strip close to Microsoft, walking distance from the Overlake Station. There are plenty of places to eat around here and you should eat at those places if you're on a lunch break and need to get back to work because Lee's Kitchen is really on their own schedule. No shits given. We visited on a Wednesday afternoon around lunch time and were the only ones dining in for most of the time we were here. Most of the tables had not been cleared, so they must've had a rush of people before we visited. There's a QR code at the table where you can order and pay for your food. I ordered the braised pork belly with rice and shared the rice noodle roll with shrimp and beef with my friend. He ordered the wonton noodle soup, which took over an hour to get. My meal came out first and then eventually the rice noodle roll dish came. And then half an hour later after sitting there, the server comes by and tells my friend they ran out of bamboo noodles, which is what he requested for his dish. Over half an hour later, he received his food. Was it worth the wait? No. Sadly, I can't recommend Lee's Kitchen especially with how many more fantastic Chinese restaurants there are nearby. Service is lackluster with food that does not impress or would have me visit again. Not for me and it shouldn't be for anyone on a schedule.
