Lee's Kitchen in Factoria is the same restaurant as the OG located Overlake. This location is much more spacious vs Overlake. If you are near both locations, come here instead. Their most popular dishes are the rice rolls while everyone still complains about how long it takes to make stone pot rice dishes. In case anyone misses the fine print, it takes over 30 minutes. Another couple in the restaurant thought they forgot to make the dish and were yelling into the kitchen. The staff is friendly, though limited with their English. We ordered via the tablet at the front, and the food is brought out to us at the table. A rack on a wall has all the utensils and napkins, etc. Parking is plentiful. The Food: Shrimp Rice Rolls $11.99 - 4 Stars The rice rolls are still as good as I remember them. For some reason, it feels a bit out of balance this time. A lot of rice rolls, not a lot of shrimp. The sauce is fantastic and a must. Signature Beef Brisket Rice Rolls add Egg, $18.99+$1 - 4 Stars This is a beefy take on the rice roll. The added egg provided the yellow hue in the rice roll. Some brisket pieces are fattier. Their version is the traditional style with the chewy bit attached; some folks might hate it due to this. The sauce is also beefy. This is almost a soup, not in a bad way. Clear Soup Beef Offal with Daikon, $12.99 - 0 Stars This was a sad dish. When they say soup, they meant most broth, with few contents. The daikon wasn't tender. The offal and the soup didn't have much flavor. I rarely leave food behind, but I did for this dish. Garlic Fried Chicken Wings, $7.99 - 5 Stars The clear winner of the night were their wings. I believe four pieces of plump and fat wings, perfectly crispy and flavorful. I would order this again. read more

Have only ever gotten take out from here and have enjoyed it each time! Inside has lots of seating, nicely decorated and cozy. You're able to self serve your own water, seat yourself, and order from the table using a QR code. An introvert's dream so I definitely have to come dine in some time. My first time ordering from here, we got the Chinese sausage and bacon stone pot rice, stir fried rice noodles with XO sauce, and braised pork feet rice rolls. All were delicious but my favorite was the stone pot rice. Second time I ordered here, I got garlic chicken wings and fries. Loved it! The wings and fries tasted so fresh. Super crispy and juicy, flavorful. And they were super generous with the fries. There were tons and so yummy - crispy on the outside and soft and hot on the inside. Service is good too. Food is always ready when I arrive and the lady is very friendly. read more

Honestly I don't even know why I even bother ordering Uber Eats from Lee's Kitchen (Factoria location) anymore. They've messed up my orders about 3 times now. First time, they didn't secure the lid to the bowl of congee and it arrived all over the poor uber driver's car and in the delivery bag. Second time, they served us burnt congee that reeked of chemicals and had little burnt bits in it. Then this time, the congee is absolutely tasteless and they gave us the wrong soy sauce for the shrimp rice rolls. Shrimp rice rolls usually come with a sweet soy sauce, but they always pack you a whole sauce container of regular soy sauce that you won't realize until you pour it over the rice rolls. Sure they might be more reliable if you're dining there; but please don't even bother ordering take out or delivery. It's funny because every time i order congee, it's because I'm so severely hungover and sick and am so desperate for some comfort food. And every time without fail, they make the situation worst some how lol. Also every time we do call in to complain it always sounds like a teen kid that's working and is not helpful at all. Ugh. read more

We stopped by for lunch. In a strip mall full of good pleothora of choices. They have good rice stone pot, rice noodles, and congee. We ordered two rice stone pot and rice noodles. Very flavorful for the rice noodles. And quite a good size plate to share. The rice stone pot was very delicious. You can add more condiments to it for your likings. It came out hot in temperature to the table. Service was quick. You ordered by the QR Code. You pay with the QR code. It's a small restaurant. There was take outs and you can sit inside. The food was something that was comforting for a rainy kind of days. Feels like a home cooked meal from a restaurant. read more

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 read more

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, read more

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. read more

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. read more

Honestly super disappointed this time around. Not only did the wait person not speak English, he didn't even speak Cantonese which normally isn't a problem on the Chinese side but even English? They sat me down and I self ordered, noticed that there were 3 tables ahead of me that had not gotten their food yet either. After 20 minutes of waiting, I decided to change my order to to go which they indicated would take 5 minutes (likelihood of this was slim as the tables ahead of me still hadn't gotten their food). I went to run an errand and came back 20 minutes later and not only was my 1 rice roll order not ready, they hadn't even started making it yet. I looked around and there were the same 3 tables... 1 still missing their food! At that point the wait staff ended up going into the kitchen and making dish himself. Needless to say, it wasn't the same quality I expected from the previous two times I've visited. Minimal filling and skin was much too thick. 45 minutes of total wait time for 1 dish when he assured me it would take 5 mins is pretty unreasonable. I will likely not be coming back. To clarify this was the Bellevue location, not Factoria. read more

Huge variety of foods, great service. You have to use a mobile app to order which can be challenging only because you have to choose which options you want with every meal! Fresh, hot food. Hot & sour soup is spicier than most and the kung pao chicken had lots of celery. More than enough food for lunch, couldn't finish all the rice I was given. Hope to return next time I'm in the area. Can't wait to try their noodle soups! read more

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! read more

food here is good but the service and food is super slow. Food takes over 30 minutes to come out, food delivery drivers are sitting waiting as well. Compared to the other locations, this spot is too large for the number of staff they maintain. This location has the largest menu but definitely the worst service. If you come, their rice noodles and beef bone soups are yummy. read more

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! read more

We live near by and finally made it in to give them a try. We had been here when it was the other restaurant. The place was redecorated and had a more modern feel. Like putting lipstick on a pig. Still old and weirdly shaped with the kitchen and supplies in the dining room. We ordered the following; Beef with wide noodle- this came out first and only took 2 minutes. The noodle was fresh, the beef tender but overall the plate was smaller than I expected and a bit more soy sauce making it a bit salty. Beef rice roll- the rice roll was soft and silky. The beef was of ground beef texture and not like that at dim sum. Disappointing. Pork, shrimp, beef rice roll- the shrimps were a bit small but was the best protein. The pork is grounded also and you almost couldn't tell the difference between the pork and beef. Kinda yuck. Clay pot. The rice pot had the coveted crispy rice where the rice met the flaming clay pot. The pork ribs were dry and I wished it had a bit more salty fish. There were a few pieces of smoked bacon also. I felt like they decreased rib quantity for a few slices of bacon. Would I come back? Maybe in a year or so when I have forgotten how mediocre it was. Is it convenient and hit you desire for rice rolls or clay pot. Only if you are very hungry. read more

Good authentic food but you better not have anything going on because it's going to take 3 hours to get your food. I watched two tables sit there for 30 mins before they got water. Maybe call and order first and by the time you get there and sit down the food will then be ready. I think Mr.and Mrs. Lee are back there cooking it up so you know the food is going to be good good. I give it 4 stafs because the food is good and we need to support our small family businesses. read more

The must eat every time when I came back Seattle. My childhood flavor and still my favorite.

Came for a Friday dinner with friends. Not too busy. I ordered the fish fillet congee and deep fried dough stick, along with the beef/pork/shrimp rice roll. Everything came out hot and delicious. - Congee was savory and went well with the crispy dough stick. They provided free salted peanuts and crispy things (idk the name) to add to the congee. - The rice roll had lots of meat and the wrapping had the perfect texture; so many delicate folds that held all the sauce. Service was excellent. Our waitress was bilingual (English/中文) and was very friendly and attentive. Menu was bilingual too. Restaurant had plenty of seating and felt cozy. read more

New place! The interior is quite small but there is a good amount of places to sit at. Nothing too fancy here so it is more casual. There are complementary side dishes that come if you dine in. We got the shrimp, pork, beef rice roll (three in one) and that was pretty good. It wasn't eye opening but still good. The length and portion was decent. The shoyu ramen with cha siu pork was good. A lil saltier than expected. The tonkatsu ramen with beef was good too. It was a bit different than a typical ramen you would get at other places but if you get a ramen, you get a free drink to go with it! The noodles in the ramen was a lot! It was filling so I was definitely full and had left overs too. The amount of noodles is surprisingly a lot (I love that.) I particularly like the rice roll and would be willing to try the other ones next time! I love the service as the staff are very nice and friendly as well as quick service too! We went around 5 pm so not many people. There is also a kiosk there if you prefer to do takeout. read more

Unexpected find/discovery in Factoria area. They have a lot of items on their menu which was already not good sign. Location is convenient and spacious. Service was fast and friendly. You order what you want from your phone. I ordered the eel stone pot, beef&pork&shrimp rice roll, and chicken broccoli. The stone pot was pretty disappointing. It lack flavor and the crispy rice was very oily. They would have been better off doing claypot instead of stone pot. The rice roll was ok. Think noodles but I did end up with a bit that had hard think dried noodles so consistency and quality was lacking. The chicken broccoli was tasty but also on the salty side so definitely need to eat it with rice to balance/cover the saltiness of it. Not sure I would come back as dishes were not cheap and it was just not all that impressive. read more

New owner and newly remodeled. Been here a few times and food portions are good along with great service. Update to review. I originally gave it 4 stars but when we asked for the drink that was offered if we gave a honest review the waitress asked why not 5 stars and didn't give us the drink. I find this very funny and think they should take all honest reviews and not just ask for 5 stars. Therefore I dropped the review down to 3. read more
