This is still the best representation of old school Chinese American food and not the newer style mainland China wave or specialty city cuisines like Chongqing and elsewhere. While Northern California is definitely losing its authentic Chinese American soul steadily under Cultural Marxism of the economy killer, social justice party. It hasn't taken all of them out yet. We lost over 35% of our restaurants (all) in the 1st year of lockdowns, we're left with barely 35-40% of what we had originally (all restaurants). So keep this affordable mom and pop family kitchen open. Definitely recommend. Definitely would go again. Im pleasantly full. Lady was extra kind with service repeatedly asking if I needed more tea. Even got 2 fortune cookies! read more

We discovered this down to earth restaurant that serves American Chinese/Cantonese cuisine because I had a craving for walnut shrimp. At the time I had yet to find a place around here that served an iteration that I liked, but I have finally found it! I was super impressed by the Walnut Prawns here! The prawns were encased in a delightfully light and crispy batter with sweetened mayonnaise, and it was the exact taste and texture that I had been missing all this time. Even the walnuts sprinkled on top were deliciously crunchy and sweet! I was hoping that they would also have this Dry Stir-Fried Green Beans dish that you can typically find at a Cantonese restaurant. Though it is not on their menu, I was so happy when they told us they could make it! Their version is a little saucier, but the green beans were fried to perfection and the sauce was flavorful with chopped preserved mustard stems and sliced chilies. The curry beef was also exactly what we were looking for as well; tender slices of beef plus a mix of bell peppers, onions, and celery wok-fried to the perfect texture and mixed with a fragrant curry sauce. Paired perfectly with rice! Happy to have found a place that serves the comfort food that I love. Looking forward to getting more Walnut Prawns and trying more dishes! read more

Best Chinese food I have had in a very long time. Very affordable for such quality food and the portions are big for what they are. I decided to try them while my car was being worked on next door and I'm so glad I did I found my new Chinese restaurant. I had the sweet and sour pork , which was tender juicy and the vegetables were soft and easy to eat Chicken fried rice which had a lot of egg , and chicken in it so freshly cooked. Chicken Wonton soup was amazing very favorable and hot and had all the right taste in it They were such sweet people inside , I could easily give them 10 stars. The restaurant was empty inside with just 2 others and I'm wondering why so slow. Go show them love they have lunch and dinner specials that are really worth the price .

Great food fantastic service they truly treat you like company at a very fair price the people make all the difference

My boyfriend and I live near this place and the younger guy and the older lady usually take our order & know how we like our meals When you order a lunch plate they usually give you your choice of rice or chow mien and a choice of entree (separated) Today I ordered just that & the lady that was on the phone today (Saturday @ 2pm) must be new or something cause she refused to give me pork fried rice even though it's in the menu . So she had me order regular fried rice & and NEVER HAVE I EVER had them pour my entree over my rice ! Like why ! the rice completely absorbed all the juices from my Mongolian beef and it was soggy and disgusting read more

This is your mom and pa store, serving good honest American Chinese food. If you are looking for some authentic Chinese food, you should keep looking. But if you are a fan of Panda Express, this place beat Panda by a mile. First of all, the service is great. The lady at the counter (owner) helped me picking out the dishes for lunch when I couldn't decide what to order. She also told me the history of this place while I wait for my orders to be ready. Second, the price is un-real in 2024. When I first read the menu, I was like, is this an old menu from years ago? All the dishes cost maybe 2/3 of what the going rate at other restaurants. I asked the lady about the price and she assured me that is the right price, LOL. Now comes to the food. To be honest, I was skeptical about the food with this cheap price. I quickly got home to try them, they were pretty good. The salt and pepper fish was still crunchy and tasted great, broccoli beef was also good. The Singapore Fried rice noodle is a bit plain but nothing a bit of spicy sauce couldn't fix. Last but not the least the Young Chow fried rice is also good. Like I said, if you like American Chinese food, this is the place. It's cheap, fast and friendly. I sure will come back to try other dishes on their menu. read more

The service was very welcoming, they took my order quick and told me it would just be 10 min. Not bad! I ordered the chicken chow mein, broccoli beef lunch special with fried rice, shrimp wonton soup, and egg flower soup. It was ready within the 10 minutes so I appreciated the quick service. Maybe it was just lunch but I felt like the chow mein and broccoli beef were missing something. The flavors were kind of bland but the portions were huge. I liked the soups though, we really enjoyed the egg flower soup. I was a fan of the shrimp wonton, they really packed it full of wonton! I'm not entirely sure I would come back but I'm glad I tried it. The service and portions definitely made up for the flavors. It just so happened to be when we were recovering from the flu and were really craving Chinese food so we were disappointed it didn't quite hit the spot. Definitely try it out, maybe it was just us! :) read more

Had the lunch special for about $10, big portion included pork fried rice, chicken chow mein and sweet and sour pork. Stopped by during lunch time, not too busy. Everything is made as you order it, very clean and great service. I took more than half home, trust me portion is generous. read more

I love this little family-owned restaurant. It feels like I'm eating in someone's house because the food tastes like home. There's nothing fancy about the restaurant's interior; just the good ol' look and feeling of a mom and pop shop. It's a perfect "order, sit down, eat, then go" type of place. I ordered prawns with black bean sauce over steamed white rice. It was $12 for lunch. The food came out fast and piping hot! The prawns were succulent and they give nice, big portions. The meal really hit the spot. I recommend this spot for quick, tasty Chinese food. read more

Lee's Kitchen - Prawns with black bean sauce over steamed white rice - Chinese Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Have come here for over 10 years they are the nicest, hardest working staff with fairly priced quality Chinese food.

Grew up getting food from this place back in it's original location (Notice a common theme here?) I usually go here once a week to get my mom WonTon Soup. It's really a mom & pop shop, ran by the family (afaik). The family is humble and kind, the exact reason you support your local business. It's good comfort food. Checkout the lolipop chicken if you go here. It's a low/no frills place, but decent food. read more

The owner greeted me with respect and gave a good customer service. Always refilling my water. The orange chicken was very hard to bite on and not flavorful. Broccoli ok and rice was ok. read more

I love unpretentious restaurants that serve solid hearty food. Lee's Kitchen is right up there in terms of good decent homestyle cooking. Not all that hungry, we had just 2 dishes-Fried Rice (kid was with us) and Beef with Chinese Greens. Both were tasty and savory. Extremely good value for Norcal. I'd be back if I lived up here. read more

Great value! Will be coming back regularly! I had this restaurant on my cheap eats list for a long time and finally tried it out! Reviewers were correct, you get a LOT of food! In my picture you can see that each dish fills in a 4 cup pyrex container and even overflows a little over the top! AMAZING! Chicken dishes are all about $8.99 and bee if $9.75. There is nothing special or unique about the taste of food here, but its definitely a little better than average! Especially their beef! it is so tender! some places the beef can be hard to chew or even dry :) Picture: left to right, cashew chicken, mongolian beef, kung pao chicken (ignore my bread bag in the background ;p) Also service was good :) ordered over the phone and ready in 15 minutes :) read more

This is my go to when I crave for Chinese food. The service is always good and it is run by a wonderful family. The place is small and perfect for small parties. I always order for pick-up and have not been disappointed yet with any of their menu items. I would recommend the walnut prawns, sweet and sour pork, chicken fried rice and the Chinese chicken salad. read more

I was back in the Bay area and who feels like cooking with this fabulous weather. After 8 years away, I was so glad to see Lees is still around. The food is great and affordable. I buy 2 dinners and they last 2 days. Staff is friendly and and a great staple In Santa Clara. read more

I had been getting food from them for about 6 months. I really enjoyed their quality of food. I also thought that the Lady owner and son were very nice and caring. That changed for me just about 3 days ago when as I was walking up to their front door there was a unconscious man lying near their door. I tried to wake him up but was not successful. Yes this man may have been homeless, but either way he deserved help. I immediately went inside and asked the son if anyone had called 911 and also how long he had been lying there. The son said about a half hour. I asked him again if he or anyone working at the restaurant had called 911. No he said. I asked him to use the landline to call for help BUT it was more important to continue answering the phone for orders. I then started to call 911 on my cell and he finally called 911. The mother came over to see what was happening and I asked her if she had seen this man lying unconscious out front. I explained that this man may be suffering from a true medical emergency and she looked at me and laughed! So although they may have decent food, the truth comes out that they could not care a damn for someone who is in need of help. Their true feelings for human kindness is lost to the money they can bring in. I was very disappointed in their lack of humanity to care for someone just outside their restaurant. Before I walked out I asked the mother how would you feel if your husband was walking near a store and for whatever reason he became ill , sat down , went unconscious and no one inside the store called 911. She laughed again. So do as you will but I cannot go to any business that shows a lack of caring. read more

We support small business but I feel sad to rate this place 1 star but after my last experienceI. Ordered chicken (chow mein, fried rice), chicken with black mushroom and chicken in black beans. Everything tasted bland...like really bland. No salt, sauces and spices ...and on top of there were hardly any chicken in the items. Both mains were just filled with veggies... one of the chicken chow mein had no chicken at all. It looked like as if they ran out of chicken. And if that was the case they should have informed. Paying $$ for that order was total waste. I am a regular here so I know how exactly those items taste. Won't be returning back again to this place again. read more

Got takeout on a Saturday afternoon. Not very busy and got my order within 10-12 minutes of ordering. Ordered cashew chicken over rice and some egg rolls to go. Portion sizes were good, food tasted great and folks running the place are very friendly. 8/10 would go back again! read more

We've been coming here occasionally over the years for takeout and I guess I haven't gotten around to writing a review for it. This is a solid place for standard Chinese food. It has a diverse menu, but as with many other similar places I wonder whether the menu is just a little too large to the point that even the workers have trouble differentiating among the dishes. Case in point: we saw options for "tossed chicken" chow mein and regular chicken chow mein. Curious about the distinction, we asked the person taking our order but he wasn't able to tell us the difference. Someone else came on the phone and tried to explain, but in the end it was just a slight variation of the ingredients but nothing really substantial that would seemingly warrant two separate options. But I digress - on to the food: Hot and sour soup - fairly reminiscent of virtually all H&S soups that are served by restaurants. I don't recall seeing any slices of pork in Lee's version, but I particularly liked the chopped bits of water chestnuts that provided a satisfying crunch. The level of spiciness was just right, but there was a little too much soy sauce and cornstarch. Not bad though. Salt and pepper fish - we look for this on every menu, and if it's not there then we're inclined to find a different restaurant. This is a simple dish - really just pieces of breaded and fried fish. The breading softened a bit during transport, as would be expected, but still had a good texture. The flavor was nice, neither too salty nor too peppery. Walnut prawns - another pretty common dish. The shrimp was properly cooked and not rubbery. There's always too much mayonnaise for my taste regardless of where we go, but when eaten with a bite of rice or some of the lettuce served with the dish it's fine. Bean cake with beef - Because the menu didn't describe it as "tofu" we though it might be something different, but in fact it's just tofu. Good dish, beef was tender, but again a little heavy on the soy sauce. Chicken chow mein - we decided against the mysterious tossed chicken chow mein. This was again a fairly standard dish, a little on the oily side, but as comfort food goes it hit all the right notes. The total cost for this meal (before tip) was just under $60, which is about what is expected for the dishes that we chose. Service during the phone order and at pickup was very nice. read more
