Listen... I don't want to "blow the spot" but this is such good takeout Chinese food. It is flavorful, fresh, clearly made by someone who knows ball. It's quintessential Chinese takeout that feeds your belly and your soul. Food is alway ready on time and clearly prepared to order. Tricky parking situation due to its location in a strip mall so be patient and/or utilize transit read more

Lee's Wok - Orange chicken dinner special - Foam takeout container holds fried rice with small vegetable pieces and a portion of General Tso's chicken coated in a dark, glossy sauce. The food appears freshly prepared, suitable for takeout or delivery. - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This food was actually pretty good. I would probably rate it an 8.9 out of 10. Me and my friends went at like 7:45 PM. The food was hot and fresh. The service was amazing. The ambience was OK. It's a little small and there's not enough room for you to eat but still wonderful service and good food. read more

Enjoyed my leftovers! Chicken rice was delicious and egg rolls with sweet and sour sauce satisfied my hunger! read more

I have used Lee's Wok for catering a lunch for our 16 employees more than once. She is thorough and work is delivered on time. And the employees look forward to it. Great food and great service. Highly recommend Lee's for catering a lunch at a business on the north side of Chicago read more

This place is only a few blocks away from our house. It's not a big one and it seems to be carry-out only. But they keep it clean and tidy as possible as they can. I feel so lucky that we've come crossed this hidden gem! The lady who usually takes our orders is friendly and unbelievably efficient. For our two persons' dinner order, it only takes chef to complete cooking in 15 mins and 2-3 mins top for her to pack it all ready. No matter weekday evenings or weekend rush hours, the average waiting time has never been longer than 20 mins. I highly recommend their Mongolian beef and hot and sour soup! We can't wait to try other dishes from this store. read more

Great food, good portions, great price. Pad Thai was good. Hunan beef was fine. What else can I say?

Solid American Chinese take out place. It's my go to in the area for quick no thrills Chinese specials take out. Great prices compared to many others. read more

It's not possible that they have 3.5 stars. Perhaps they have a new cook but I had the worst Chinese food ever. Soooooo salty, soooooo mushy. Brown sauce was indistinct and three different dishes looked and tasted the same. They didn't have some items so they called me for substitutions which I appreciated BUT yuck. Really horrible. There are other places, lots of competition. Now you know. read more

Lady at the register was rude and the broccoli beef I ordered was just super sticky and didn't taste fresh. 1 star !!

So good! Finally ordered from here and the egg rolls, crab rangoon and general's chicken were excellent. And the chef was so friendly. Wonderful experience. Check it out if you're in the Graceland West area. read more

Unbeatable flavors at this price!! One of my favorite local spots, very friendly. Dinner special deals have huge portions and it's hard to go wrong. Carry-out recommended because there isn't much dining area in the restaurant. Worth a try if you're in the neighborhood :) read more

Very good food and I will love to go back and eat there and if anyone what's to come and eat at this place, please come on by, and have a feast!!! read more

Dinner special for $9.86 w taxes. Lunch special is a little cheaper. Egg roll included. Sweet and Sour sauce is in a separate container and not pictured... Some of the finest asian cuisine I've ever put in my mouth. Been going here for 15+ years ‍ read more

Lee's Wok - $9.86 w taxes. Sweet and Sour Chicken Dinner Comes with egg roll. Sweet and Sour sauce is in a separate container and not pictured. - A foam takeout container contains fried rice and battered fried chicken pieces. The fried rice appears seasoned and is placed on one side of the container, while the battered fried chicken pieces occupy the other side. A person's hand holding a white plastic spoon is visible, with some rice on the spoon. The background suggests the meal is being eaten in a vehicle, with part of a seat and a person's arm visible. - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

ENJOY supporting our small local restaurants. My 1st time ordering and had the most amazing experience - the food was great! The owner was extremely nice!!! Highly recommend! read more

Food is awesome round of applause for Lee's wok they never disappoint on the fried rice .

For years, we've been driving down Clark Street between our house in Lakeview and my parent's house in Andersonville. I mean we drive down this street, at least, four times every two weeks. So many opportunities when we could have just stopped in for some Chinese takeout and a 7-Eleven Coke Slurpee for dessert. We always past by Lee's Wok (hidden in the corner between 7-Eleven and Dunkin Donuts) and I am always telling my fiance that I am going to order from them. Well, the pandemic finally convinced me that I needed to support local small businesses so we ordered some Mongolian Beef and General Tsao's Chicken. It hit the spot. After we took the first bite, we both said that we should have ordered years earlier. We saw that they have a ton of lunch and dinner specials that we'll be trying very soon. read more

Not impressed but also not surprised. Ordered the chicken and broccoli lunch special. The egg roll was pretty good. The chicken heavily breaded and there was only 3 small pieces of broccoli. The shrimp fried rice had almost no shrimp and even after pulling the shrimp out of the hot rice the shrimp was cold. A one time visit for me.. read more

What a great place for take out...many Chinese and Thai offerings on an extensive menu...big portions and fresh veggies/proteins with big flavor and very fair prices. Don't be put off by the abrupt front end order lady....she is a bit nicer when picking up your food! read more

Best neighborhood chinese joint. Big portions, cheap prices and the flavor always top notch.

Okay it may not be gourmet and the owner may not be the friendliest person in the world, but the food is tasty and it's served hot in record time. Which is good enough for me! Recently I ordered some pot stickers (fried, not steamed) and they were piping hot and extremely fresh tasting. I was so taken with them that I added some extra change to the tip jar and the lady was extremely appreciative. So if you're planning on getting a carryout, please leave some extra change in the tip jar because not only will you get some delicious food at rock bottom prices, but it will be served in a timely manner. Think of it as a small thanks for some hardworking people doing their best to scrape by! read more

Lee's Wok - Fried pot stickers - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love Lee's wok the food is always fresh and everything I have tried has been delicious. They are friendly, fast delivery.

This is me and my boyfriends go to Chinese food place!! The owners are so kind and friendly, and the food is delicious!! I would highly recommend the hunan beef or the Mongolian beef! read more

Decided to try out this place after recently moving to the area. I ordered online for pickup on a Tuesday night and got the General Tso's chicken (came with white rice) and a small order of chicken fried rice. Online order said it would be ready by 645pm, but I arrived 10 minutes earlier and it was ready so thumbs up for beating the time frame. I have to say, this is probably the best Chinese takeout I've ever had. Highly recommend. Every piece of chicken was 100% white meat. Normally when I go to these Chinese takeout restaurants (usually always order general tso) you get white/dark/funky looking mixtures of chicken pieces. Not here. It was piping hot and extremely tender. Not to mention a huge portion size. The sauce was sweet and on par. The chicken fried rice was also excellent. Huge portion size considering it was a "small". Lots of tender white pieces of chicken mixed with it, which is exactly what you want. Prices were reasonable. Glad I checked out this place and will definitely be back whenever I'm in the mood for some takeout. read more

Lee's Wok - a dish of chicken with gravy - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The food is really good and have more tastes than Panda Express I will give this place a 10 stars .

We are new to Uptown and absolutely love this take-out restaurant! For a quick and satisfying dinner after a long day at work, this is the perfect pick. We used to live in the South Loop, which is right next to Chinatown; however, the Chinese food from Lee's Wok was much more palatable to us than some of the Chinese restaurants in Chinatown (perhaps we are a bit more accustomed to greasy Panda Express). In any case, I would recommend getting their dinner specials, which comes with an entree (e.g. orange chicken, broccoli beef, Mongolian beef, etc.), shrimp fried rice, AND a gigantic egg roll -- all for less than $9. You will surely have enough for two meals from each entree. read more

I don't know why some reviewers had a bad customer service experience but my service was exceptional. On my way out the door I dropped my order, the lady offered to repack my order even though I said it was ok, after all, it was my fault. She put my food in a new container and bag and could not have been nicer. This was my first time here and I ordered the Thai Garlic Beef lunch special which was delicious and very reasonable. The portions are generous enough for 2 meals, the beef was very tender, the fried rice standard and a very good egg roll which I reheated in the toaster oven the next day. Great value, solid food and exceptional service. I will be back. read more

The worst sweet and sour chicken you will ever have. The sauce it's like glue and the flavor!!!!! Omg I can't even , has to spot it out. Never again read more

They have never let me down. The food is fast and good. The service is great regardless of whether it is walk-in or over the phone.

I have been getting take out t Lee's Wok for over 10 years! This is the first time that the food was horrible!!!! The Empress Chicken was hard old and dry as a bone when you bite into the chicken! Inedible!!! The egg rolls were limp and soaked in oil! Inedible!!!! I am so disappointed in Lee's Wok! What happened! I had to throw the food out! Will not be going back there! Also I got sick with diarrhea read more

when my mom and i need a go to chinese and delivery; this place is a gem. jenny and ron are not only great owners that serve quality food; they are personable and quick to deliver. martin is a great addition. godspeed. read more

The only thing worse than the food was the attitude of the woman who took our order. There are much better options in the neighborhood.

Yummy, cheap, and quick! What more could you ask for? Orange chicken & beef w/ broccoli were good. Would recommend

This place is right down the street from my house and I have always enjoyed their food. I suggest definitely picking it up and not delivery. Every time I've ordered for delivery I end up with a call from them because something is not right on the order or they don't have something. Also, this time my order was over the threshold and I did not receive my free item. I know it's petty but if I'm paying for something, I should get it. read more

With so many local Chinese restaurants, I like to to try as many as I can. But every time I order something from another restaurant, it's not as good. Then I order Lee's Wok the next time I get Chinese. It's always reliable, quick, consistent, and the woman at the counter is sweet. Nothing beats the beef chow fun, but the sesame chicken, general Tao's chicken, and fried rice are all phenomenal as well. I'm to the point that if they happen to give me a bad order in the future, they won't lose my business because they've hit the spot so many times read more

Can you say EW?? I should have stayed away after walking in the door...but my friend promised me it was yummy. Thank God this is a take-out/delivery kinda place because it seems like somewhere you'd get food poisoning. First off, the stripmall restaurant had to be an old podiatrist or some type of doctors office due to the layout and large, framed hole-in-the-wall where a receptionist would call your number. Instead a short Chinawoman stands staring at you wondering when you'll order. The best part was hearing her scream your order to the Wok workers in Mandarin. I made a horrible choice and got the Peapod Chicken while my friend got my usual order of General Tso Chicken. I should have gotten my norm but ventured away. The Peapod Chicken was in this runny "gravy" that was the consistency of egg whites and semen. Completely nasty! When I was on the third bite, I thought of all these ideas of how to remove the liquid. After living in several developing countries, I sucked it up and was happy to have more than just rice to eat. I obviously had left overs and on the drive back to my place, the juice seeped through my plastic ware cover and got all over my buddy's car. I was afraid what his boyfriend was going to think if I couldn't clean up all my left-overs. :X Just a bad Chinese experience! Period. read more

I've gotten carryout from here a few times, and while the prices are great...you get what you pay for. I've found the Mongolian beef to be pretty consistently good, and the egg rolls are reliable, but some of other menu items are just drenched in a slimy, greyish-white sauce that makes the food intolerable. I'd stick with the spicier options overall. I've had worse food, but I've also had much better. I'll probably order from here again at some point, but I can definitely say I'd never do so given a better option. read more

The orange chicken was soggy and I couldn't eat it. The potstickers were alright. New to the area and I wouldn't go back.

Generally, the way I tell if a Chinese Restaurant is really good is by trying their General Tso's chicken. So, I ordered the General Tso's chicken (spicy) and my partner ordered the Sesame chicken. After getting home, I was able to see the different through the plastic container by the sesame seeds on the sesame chicken. At least that was good. However, when i tasted my General Tso's chicken, it neither looked like the General Tso's I am used to (peppers and thick red sauce) nor was spicy. After my partner tried his, I noticed that they looked very similar with the exception of the sesame seeds. After trying his, they tasted almost the same. Really unfortunately. I don't think I will be going back to this place. read more

I've eaten their carryout about a dozen times. Some of their food has been decent, some has been bad. The decent: General Tso chicken (although not even comparable to the now closed China Kitchen), egg rolls, fried rice. The bad: The last few times the beef has been so tough it was inedible. When I bit into the first pot sticker, about 2 onces of greasy juice came out. Disgusting. I slit them to drain the grease, but it they were now just a pile of pot-sticker mush. Overall, their prices are fairly cheap, but the food isn't that good. Next time I want Chinese, I'll try elsewhere. read more

For Chinese delivery Lee's is top notch! The food is amazing, the meat and veggies are always fresh and the portions are large. I have never ordered from this place and not been 100% satisfied. My personal recommendation is the three kinds mushroom chicken...I don't know of anywhere else that offers a dish quite like it. Yum! Also, the eggrolls are always fried to the perfect mix of tender crispiness. Word to the wise, your food will arrive prior to the promised time. If they tell you it should arrive in 40 minutes...do NOT get in the shower thinking that you have plenty of time to spare. While the delivery guy is very nice, he is not exactly the type of guy one anticipates to open the door to soaking wet, in a bath towel. read more
