My friends and I ordered from here a couple times after getting home from a music festival (aka, it was 1am food vibes) and it wasn't bad. Although I wouldn't say it is good or authentic Chinese food at all, for a late-night bite, it wasn't the worst. We tried their sesame chicken, chicken and broccolli, fried noodles, fried rice, and wings. Everything was decent, but their wings were the best thing we have from them. read more

Lee's Kitchen - 14. Sesame Chicken and 32. Roast Pork Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Picked up through doordash pick up. For about 13 bucks, I got crab rangoon and general tso's with a spring roll. Quite a deal! Plus one of the only chinese places in the area that allows you to pay online before, so you don't need cash. The general tso's chicken was an okay flavor (no spice), but upon futher inspection, I began to question if there was any chicken in it. While the portion was large, most of the chicken was actually fried breading. I counted only a few obvious bites of meat. I enjoyed the brocoli and rice though, and the shrimp roll was a bit fish, but alright. read more

Lee's Kitchen - a close up of some food in a styrofoam container - Chinese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I just moved to Brewerytown, and after a long day we were looking for something to eat that's close by. It was late, so most everything was closed, but we found Lee's Kitchen. It was easy to find a spot to park on Girard and walk over to Lee's. It's one of those places where you walk in the door and there's a big plexiglass wall and behind it is the person taking orders and the cooking staff. So no seating anywhere, but we weren't looking to sit, we wanted to grab and go. We placed our order and it took about 15-20 minutes, but they were pretty busy so the wait was expected. I could tell this is a favorite neighborhood spot for late-night eats, lots of people came by in their lounge clothes to pick up food then walk back home. They had the typical Chinese food on the menu, and they also had stuff like popcorn chicken, cheesesteaks, fried shrimp, chicken nuggets, Buffalo wings, etc. They had lots of drinks on display, candy, as well as cigarettes if you're a smoker. So typical almost bodega-style stuff. Once we got home the food was great. It was nice and warm, and just what we needed after a long day of walking boxes and furniture around. We had the sesame chicken, general Tso's chicken, spring rolls, and crab rangoon. The chicken was great, nice and crispy, not soggy like you get from some places. I was a little disappointed in the crab rangoon, there wasn't very much filling in them, instead they were mostly the puff pastry dough. The sauce for dipping was great, I was very happy with it. A lot of places will give you runny, watered down dipping sauce, but this stuff was nice and thick and actually stayed on when you dipped the rangoon. They did not give us fortune cookies, which really bummed me out. So after a long day we had two happy tummies. This will probably become our go-to Chinese spot in the neighborhood. read more

Let's Go it's good it's open late it's not expensive good people and good food. Writing more in order to fill the required minimal characters read more

Fantastic hidden gem. Best tofu general I've had in a while. Quality is top notch. A definite must if visiting the area.

Live in Brewerytown? Go to Lee's. They serve late, make great food, and get you fed when you're hungry. Don't expect a smile when you pick your food up. CALL AHEAD AND EXPECT THEM TO CALL YOU CONSTANTLY UNTIL YOU GET YOUR FOOD. Your food will prob take an extra 15 after they call. Try the Bourbon Chicken combo platter, the veggie egg foo young, and the 4 wing platter w chicken fried rice. Gnite. read more

My girl and I were craving some Chinese take-out and at that time we realized there was a dearth of Chinese take-out in Fairmount. But I remembered seeing this place on 29th st and decided it'd be worth trying it out. We walked in and in all honesty it's a bit sketchy. The employee (owner?) is behind some thick (bullet proof?) glass. We put our order in for some chicken w/ broccoli and veggie lo mein. While waiting for our, the place was frequented by a bunch of folks in the neighborhood getting cigs, candy, soup, etc. It was a popular place. We got our food and headed home. I thought the lo mein was really good, but the chicken w/ broccoli was alright. I've had better. However, I'll definitely be back. It's a very convenient location, inexpensive, and satisfies that take-out chinese craving we all get. read more

Lee's Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

THE FOOD WAS DISGUSTING!!! I would not recommend! It's like they don't even get the basic dishes right. You can tell by their food that no one there is a real cook. It's not even mediocre! It actually tastes neglectful. Don't waste your money. Anyone who makes food this bad has to be dropping the ball in other areas like cleanliness and etc! Very disappointing! read more

Just received my order through doordash. I ordered General Tso, (wasn't spicy enough) but wow great taste. It came with the run of the mill eggroll, but the pork fried rice was the best I have ever had. The meal arrived fast, and portions were large. My daughter got the same and Mei Fun just plain noodles. She was thrilled with flavor. Definitely will order again while visiting Phili.. read more

Best Chinese food in the area. Don't let the appearance fool you. They also sell common items.

If it's 1am and you're looking for a big delicious meal to eat immediately before going to bed, this is the spot.

Great Chinese food for low cost. Also, if you're looking for some great french fries, they've got them. They fry them in the same oil used for their funnel cakes, egg rolls, cheese wontons, etc. so they have a sweet and excellent fried flavor. The reason I rate on the lower end is the service. They'll tell you it'll be ready in "10 minutes" and you'll go and wait at least an extra 5-10 minutes. After I stopped going at the 10-minute mark, I'd get calls telling me my food was ready. I'd go and no, it wouldn't be ready yet. I'd wait another 5 minutes or so. So, don't trust them on the time. I do think showing up speeds up the process in the long run though because once you've paid and they mark you as paid, they definitely go to work on your order. Favorite dishes: General Tso's Chicken and Orange Flavored Chicken; Vegetable fried rice read more

Food doesn't take very long and is reasonably priced. I got general tsos, but I had to speak to a second employee to ensure that it would be spicy because honestly, what's the point of mild general tsos? Good food. read more

Perfect little Chinese place. They get busy late night so be patient. I got the bourbon chicken and it would remind you more of boneless spare ribs, but it was still delicious. They have everything you could really need in this little bodega. I will come back. Steer clear of anything breaded since that is all you will get. ie sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken, ect. read more

Don't let 3 stars fool you... If your looking for quick cheap Chinese food that will fulfill a craving, this is the place. There is better Chinese food in Philly, but nothing that is as close and convenient. Have you ever noticed that something fried always tastes better when it is prepared and served to you from behind bullet proof glass? Maybe it is just me. read more

Wow! Incredible Chinese food. It is nothing fancy as it is a corner take out only kind of place complete with loosey cigarette sales and off brand single serving chip selections. But the General Tso Chicken, fried dumplings, and egg rolls (fabulous) were very good. Not only is the food very good and cheap, we met quite a few interesting people while we waited for it to be cooked, the most entertaining of which was Farmer. Great guy. He is a father of 15 with 57 grand kids (#53 was with him) and 4 great grand kids. You have a blessed day too Farmer, my man. Hope to see you around the neighborhood soon. Give this place a try, and not only will you get really good Chinese food for little money, but maybe you will be lucky enough to have Farmer chat you up a bit. read more

So, since there's not many late night food options, this is your go to. Very good typical Chinese restaurant. Made to order. Fast service. And like I said: serving past 2:30am typically. read more

This was the first place I ate when I moved here three years ago. I've probably visited 100 times since then, as it is our standard go to especially late at night. They are open until 3 am every day, even on most holidays (late Christmas dinner anyone?). I can speak for a few menu items I regularly get. Sweet and Sour chicken is the bomb dot com. The sauce is great and the chicken is fried but soft and fluffy delicious breading. I also recommend the crab ragoons. These are a sweat cream cheese filled fried pastry. The other usual chinese fare (General Tso's, Fried Rice, Broccoli dishes) are all good as well. The only complaint I'd have is the other riff raff that stumble in here late at night. I've met some interesting characters but no one has ever given me any trouble. This place often will call me to let me know my food is ready, and they definitely have my number and order memorized no matter who is working the counter. The girls there recognize me and meet me with a smile and good attitude when I walk in. Check out Lee's, you won't be disappointed. P.S. Don't let the bullet proof glass and all deter you. The place is plenty safe and worth it for the delicious chicken and ragoons! read more

The food was really fresh. The egg rolls and wonton soup were great. The orange chicken was cooked perfectly. The roast pork with onion was cooked nicely although the spice was a little too hot for me. They also have snacks, drinks, ice cream, hamburgers, and cheesesteaks. It feels like a safe area. read more

I cant believe what i am reading from the people who wrote reviews of this place before me. This place SUCKS! And I live 50 feet from the front door! This review comes after my 4th visit to this place and Ive had it with how this food tastes and makes me feel. Slimy lo mein, horrendously salty and poorly prepared fried rice. There were three pieces of chicken in my lo mein tonight and while i was at first mad i halted my disappointment because i was just thankful i would have less a chance of getting sick. The people who wrote anything over 2 stars were one or both of the following: 1) drunk 2) work for Lee's 3) hammered drunk This place is horrendous. Im literally shaking right now after eating this crap and its literally the most convenient chinese I have ever had available to me. read more

Solid Chinese food. Chinese cuisine is not my go to, however my wife has the hankering now and then. The place offers a little more than Chinese food as you can found just about everything you'd find in a convenient store as well. I recommend this take out spot. read more

The food was just average at best and the service left a lot to be desired. I called 20 minutes ahead and the food still wasn't ready and I was given attitude by the owners when asked as if I was asking a lot for me food to be ready. Plus, they sell loose cigarettes- highly illegal. Rude service by owners who don't respect the members of the community they serve. I won't return and give them my money !! read more

Good service. Clean. Good price. As for the food thats another story. I ordered sesame chicken, steamed dumpling, chicken teriyaki stick and chicken lo mein. Chicken lo mein-- slimy, no flavor, no chicken, and the noodles was too big. Steamed dumplings(dont even get me started Yuck!)- Oversized dough, gooey, and the meat was eww! Seasame chicken- tasted like a lean cuisine dinner Chicken teriyaki stick the best thing i had there i shouldve ordered 10 read more

Nothing special, average Americanized Chinese food. My boyfriend and I only get it spur of the moment when we don't want to drive anywhere since it's within walking distance. Fried rice can get pretty greasy. Sweet and sour chicken is mostly dough and generals tsos chicken is just okay. I would recommend coming here if you aren't looking for anything special, just something cheap to hit the craving. read more

Clean, great non greasy fresh food! Owners are nice and service is usually fast unless they are busy.

My fiance & I have had just about every Chinese take-out in the Art Museum area. Lee's Kitchen is hands-down #1. Everyone else pales in comparison. read more

Pretty terrible Chinese food, even for a hood spot with the bullet proof glass. The veg lo mein was edible but everything else I've ordered from here has been disgusting or super mediocre. The prices were the only thing keeping me as a repeat customer, but I found out the hard way they have recently raised prices dramatically. Extremely mediocre fried pork wanton just shot up to $5.50 when just the other day I got it for $3.50 there. When asked about it the young lady working the window let me know prices are now up. There's a few other china houses in the area open late, I'll have to give them a try. read more

Good food and very cheap. I like the Singapore Mei Fun but it's all good

I have been ordering from here for years. Just picked up my takeout for tonight, terrible. It has been going down hill lately, but I was holding out hope they would rebound. Not the case. I will be looking for a new takeout place. read more

These guys are real. I haven't tried them because it's a local "open all night" Chinese food place. I regret this. They're grand. All is wonderful. They make food in front of you. Fresh ingredients and honest times. Not just good food, but they're open until 230am... I'm sold! read more

Among the top Chinese Restaurants I have ordered from in this neighborhood. Don't let the appearance deter you.

Pretty Good. I only had the shrimp fried rice and a shrimp roll. I will go back and try more things such as the shrimp with garlic sauce

World's greatest Chinese food corner store! Fast, tasty, and sells everything you could need.

Food is o.k. but they have BADDDD ATTITUDE towards customers. Wont go back! I'd rather go in Center City and pay for good QUALITY food PLUS a GOOD ATTITUDE! read more

I'm so happy I found this hidden gem. You can get extremely cheap, delicious, authentic home-cooked Chinese food. The snow peas are awesome as is the chow fun. This place has better food than many of the more expensive restaurants in Chinatown. And it's open super late! Highly recommended - get take-out at Lee's and show this great little local spot some love. read more

Overall it's okay food. The general tso chicken is not chicken it's all flour that is thrown on strands of chicken basically all breading. Pork Lo mein is a bit tasteless but nothing hot sauce won't fix. read more

Definitely best Chinese food restaurant in the area. Ingredients taste pretty fresh. Broccoli and veggies in veggie fried rice are crunchy. I never, post-eating, ask myself, while staring at my reflection in the mirror, "what have I done?" In fact, i feel pretty good about myself. Staff is friendly. I will say though I don't think I've ever exchanged a word with the employees that wasn't directly related to the food transaction. Service can best be described at brisk. Who needs a kitchen in their apartment when Lee's kitchen is around the corner? read more

I totally agree with Brad's assessment. We've been in the neighborhood for 4 years in two places and we only go to Lee's Kitchen despite now living closer to 2 other stores. Food id very good, fast, and very inexpensive. The best part is that in the 18 months I've been on EveryBlock, they have never had a critical health code violation when almost every other restaurant in the neighborhood has at least one at one time or another. Like most take out, though, don't go after 10pm as the loiterers nearby can be less interesting. read more
