Hidden Gem in Pioneer! We can't believe we drove past this place for nearly two years without stopping -- what a hidden gem! Being from the Bay Area, we're used to having tons of great Chinese food options, and this spot absolutely holds its own among the best. The restaurant was very clean, the staff was friendly, and we received our food within 10 minutes of ordering. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The hot and sour soup was easily one of the best we've ever had -- perfectly balanced and full of depth. The Mongolian beef was delicious, and the shredded pork in Peking sauce was outstanding as well. We're so happy to have found a quality Chinese restaurant so close to home. We'll definitely be coming back for both dine-in and takeout! read more

Get the POT STICKERS! Everything I've had here is good, great or excellent. The family running it is always friendly. The place could use a sprucing up but maybe I'm being picky. Most of their business is to-go so don't be surprised if it looks empty. If you're driving up (or down) HWY 88, Oder the POT STICKERS to go! Can't go wrong. read more

Great food for years never changes good prices Le is a great guy and happy to have this great option up country for so long! The food is always tasty Tip: order the kimchi (sometimes it's not available because Le makes it fresh himself) I normally pick up to go and it seems like a lot of people around here do the same although the sitting area inside is very nice and big read more

This place is cornerstone for Pioneer. The food we had was really good. The portions were large and every dish came with a free egg roll or crab rangoon. Crab rangoons were great, and they offered complimentary soups. Super nice family. Their service didn't end there. Our car battery died while we were there. The young girl, Bettina helped us and gave us a jump start. Thank you Le family! read more

The chow mein is okay, not a fan of the beef in it. Beef fried rice is AWFUL!!! Chicken and broccoli is okay. read more

Enjoy a beautiful view while I drive there and Always experience such friendly fast service and cherry pork is delish.

Speed: 5 stars Ambiance: 1 star Food quality: 1 star Very kind lady took my order. Kind man gave me the food. Other than the fortune cookies, the food was terrible. Fried food all tasted fishy. Chow mien noodles were thick and flavorless. Sorry--I wanted to like this. No good. read more

Very good food- good value for your money. We like stopping by when we visit nearby family. A+++ !!

if i could give them less stars than one , i would . i guess since they are selling the place the food sucks and i was quoted a different price than what they actually charged me on the meal didnt even get rice . i learned a good lesson !!! glad they are for sale they used to be really good . just seems like they dont care . read more

We got take out from here. It was good. We had sweet and sour pork, fried rice, Chow mein, broccoli beef and egg flower soup. Everything was freshly made and packaged well. We'll be back. read more

Nothing seems to be made in house.. tastes all frozen. Not super clean.. it's is an option if your in a pinch. Service is so so.

From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm, friendly service that instantly made us feel at home. The prices are very reasonable, the portions are large, and there is no shortage of fresh options; I mean, the menu is 4-5 total pages! The food? Incredible! Everything is cooked to order, and our dishes came out piping hot and flavorful. We ordered the Orange Chicken and Mongolian beef combination plate with the Potstickers. Each plate came with Egg Drop soup, Fried Rice, Chow Mein, an Egg Roll, and a Crab/Cheese Wonton - yes, EACH plate! The fried dishes are crispy and cooked to perfection, and the authenticity of the flavors took me back--I haven't had Chinese food this good in over a decade! No wonder the locals flock here to dine in, order out, or grab a quick to-go meal. Le's Chinese is a treasure, and we will be back. If you're headed to Kirkwood on 88 or in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by--it's sooo good! read more

Le's Chinese Restaurant - Got the Peking pork and cashew chicken. Both were delicious. - Chinese Near Me - Pioneer, California

Came back to this gem to get some comfort Chinese food. We got to chatting with the chef this time who also gave us recommendations on what to order. We got the hot and sour soup, deep fried eggplants, honey crispy prawns, mixed veggies, and garlic fried chicken. Everything came out within minutes and SUPER tasty! We got enough food to last us 3 meals haha. The restaurant was quiet and inviting, just like the last time we went :) we will definitely be back! read more

This is a clean average quality Chinese food restaurant. To address the other reviews regarding the quality of the food. If you think Panda Express is Chinese food then this food will be just as good quality. I really am happy with the friendly owner and staff. They always get your orders out quickly and takeout orders are always correct. The cost is reasonable for the location . Mostly we get takeout but the couple times that we've been inside the restaurant has been extremely clean, quiet, and not crowded. read more

This place makes the best Chinese food that I've found since moving up here. The food and service remind me of eating in San Francisco's Chinatown. A little something for everyone, along with a friendly staff. They have no problems accommodating allergy issues - no attitude, no rolled eyes, no fuss. Fairly standard American Chinese food with a few authentic tasting recipes thrown in for good measure. Portions are perfect for family-style eating whether you're dining in or taking it home. read more

The food is awful. I decided to give this place a final chance after previous disappointments. As soon as I opened the chow mein, I knew it would lack flavor. It looked and tasted like it was tossed in chicken broth, with no color or flavor at all. The other items either taste like fridge or had a weird funky flavor. read more

Le's Chinese Restaurant - Beef Chow Mein - Chinese Near Me - Pioneer, California

An old restaurant in Amador county. Folks in that area like it. We lived in that area 5 years plus. The quality of food was not great. They have sweet & sour sauce on all of their tables? Much to my surprise that was a very popular feature. As everyone eating there used the sauce on the Chinese food. read more

Food quality seems to have improved, and the young male cashier hasn't been there for my last few trips, so that is a positive. Food is consistent and pretty tasty. Orange chicken is too vinegary for my wife and I, but they have many other options to consider. Overall, it's fine for being our only Chinese food option upcountry. read more

Picked up some Togo Chinese food and the food did not taste fresh at all. Staff seemed nice but I won't go back because of the food.

Best Chinese food in the area!!! Always gotten food to go and have never been disappointed. This compares to the Chinese food I've had in LA and SF, so full of flavor! read more

Had dinner with my mother here. this was by far the best, , chinese food ever. Every time I see my mom, I look forward to eating here.fresh, authentic. Family run business read more

It is okay Chinese food...I got spoiled down in the Bay Area (lol). It is generally good for up in the boon docks. Food was hot and fresh. We've only taken out our dinners. Service was good and friendly. Food was ready exactly in the time the promised. read more

We stopped here on our way through. As of today Le's is still take out only. We sat in the parking lot and they provided us with plates and forks. The owners were very nice. The food was GREAT!! It was right on time. Everything was hot and everything was good. We'll definitely stop in again on our next time through. If you're interested we ordered potstickers, orange chicken, beef and broccoli and pork fried rice. Hot, flavorful, veggies cooked right. read more

Stopped with my Son for lunch while in the area on business. They are really friendly upon entering, get you seated right away and get the menu and waters to the table immediately .We've tried 6 different dishes from the menu and they were all fresh and delicious with large portions. read more

I have made three separate attempts to order from this restaurant but the woman who answers is extremely rude and they never have anything available on the menu. I wonder how this place stays in business. Needless to say, I'm done trying. read more

Terrible food. Quite possibly the worst I've ever had since the last time I ate here 10 YEARS ago. One last chance to support a local business. Tasted like yesterdays food microwaved.... NEVER again ! read more

Sweetest couple runs this spot. Reasonable prices, pretty delicious options. That I understand they changed their hours so heads up they close earlier than they used to. And since they're the only Chinese food option in the area, they do get busy so order early! read more

This was the worst it's ever been!! Food had no flavor the house noodles had a cup of zucchini which I hated no other vegetables ??? Oh there was a little celery One shrimp?? Something I thought might be beef :(( and the chicken cashew had bones in it!! Asked for hot mustard Lee said didn't come with meal then threw one at my husband. NEVER EVER GOING BACK!! Lee you suck read more

Service is good but the food is not that great. Looking for something better for chinese gourmet

We are staying at our cabin in the area and have never tried this place before even having been here for years! We ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken, House Fried Rice, Pot Stickers, General's Chicken and Egg Rolls. The Pot Stickers were good and the dipping sauce that came with them was very good. Together they were delicious! The Egg Rolls were good and hot. The Generals Chicken was very good with a little bit of heat ! The House Fried Rice was good, but a little sparse with the goodies! We will come back! Also good for me to point out that we were impressed that they were wearing masks and gloves and were taking this covid thing seriously for their customers ! read more

Food was ok nothing special and was somehow ready in 15 minutes which I found mind blowing. We ordered broccoli beef, sweet and sour pork, and vegetable rice. We called in our order on a Friday around 5pm and there was nobody inside at all. read more

I moved here from Southern California so I may be a little more used to really good Chinese food. I found the food at Le's to be bland, water down, and tasteless. read more

Not very good Chinese food. It's not real bad, but it seems a bit bland. If someone bought me lunch there, I would eat, but I would not stop there myself. read more

It's hit or miss, but in my experience, it's mostly a hit. Something I appreciate is they don't use as much salt as the Chinese restaurants I went to when living in Citrus Heights (Sac County). I wonder if it's because many of their patrons are elderly? All you need is to add soy sauce to get the level of salt and flavor you prefer. They don't use MSG, so that's a plus. Overall, I'm super appreciative that we have Le's Chinese (and every other restaurant) up here. It's nice to have an occasional treat, especially not having to cook. We don't have many options, so I appreciate the options we do have. We usually get the combination lunch or dinner plate, where you choose your entree and it comes with fried rice, chow mein, an egg roll, soup and cheese turnover. The dinner also comes with sweet and sour pork and a prawn. My favorite entrees that come with the combo include the general chicken and pork with vegetables. The cashew chicken and broccoli beef are also good. We weren't fans of the lemon chicken, but everything else we've tried has been great! read more

Horrible service and the food is very cheap and generic. We were treated awful and definitely will never go back.
