    Size of rice for perspective.  Smh.
    Stan C.

    It's really crazy how reviews can be so far apart. I definitely thought a 4 star rating couldn't be that bad. Wrong. This restaurant only sold Chinese food (meaning no wings and mambo sauce). Again, I was fooled. 1. Spring rolls: crispy but the filling was minimal with no flavor. 2. Shrimp egg foo young: cakes are mixed with the sauce so it's difficult to count how many in the order. Taste was just ok. 3. Beef with mixed vegetables: standard nothing special or bad. 4. General Tso's chicken: one of the worst I've had. The chicken was over cooked (or old chicken cooked again) and super chewy. 5. Rice: you can't mess this up, right? Well the rice was fine but I guess this restaurant is on a mission to control your carb intake. I've never seen rice given in the extra small carryout box. Maybe this is just a cost savings. Overall, this restaurant is so bad, I had to come out of retirement to write this review. I just don't want anyone else to suffer the way I did. Unfortunately, live in DC and didn't want to trek back to Sandy Spring for a refund. Stay away from this place.

    General Tso's Chicken

    First time trying this place. We had lunch here and we liked it. Generally Chinese take-out is mostly all the same with slight variations. I had the General Tso chicken and the sauce was good. It lacked spice as far as heat goes, which was disappointing, but that's how most places do it these days. The fried rice that came with the meal was better than many other places I've eaten. It had a nice flavor and it was more than just rice mixed in a wok. Prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. These take-out places tend to be personal preference. It's worth trying and decide for yourself if you like their food. We enjoyed our lunch and will return.

    First time trying this place-I ordered their wings/fried rice meal. The chicken was perfectly fried and rice was well seasoned. I would have loved if they carried mambo sauce...that would have been delicious!

    Unfortunately we tried this place after seeing so many good reviews. Unfortunately, we will not be going back. The crispy beef was not crispy and was more of a mushy consistency. We've had Chinese carryout from a different Chinese restaurant and the beef was crispy, so it's not because of it being steamed during the drive. The General Tso chicken really didn't have much flavor and looks a little gray which you can't really see in the photo, but I do notice it. The Chicken and Broccoli was more broccoli and carrots than it was chicken. However this was the best of the entrees that we ordered. I really wish this experience would have been better as I'd love to support local restaurants, but unfortunately I won't be going back and I won't be keeping any leftovers.

    Sweet &Sour Shrimp - sauce on the side for double the crunch

    I honestly don't know where some of these one stars are coming from. It's confusing because no other carry outs cook food on this level. Carryouts are carryouts but then there's Mee Shane. Let me begin by saying I have been coming to Mee Shane for around 10 years . Throughout my time I have seen it go through ups and downs. When a carry out like this has been around for over 30 years there is bound to be some rough spots because chefs come and go . One constant is the owners. They have been operating this carry out since the beginning and do their best to satisfy their customers. They know names, preferences etc. Recently, it's been on fire, rocking away awesome food in 2020! This is an old school carry out not a corporate Panda Express or something. For the most part this has pretty much always been a SOLID choice of mine. Keep in mind that when ordering carry out try to eat your food right away or else dishes steam in the carry out boxes, crispy food get soft etc basic understanding of food . When you eat Mee Shane's dishes right away you will be surprised "how out of this world" the taste is . Onto the dishes. I prefer vegetables myself. They cook great veggie dishes where the product is crispy not mushy. I like Bean Cake with Mixed Vegetables which is basically tofu with carrots, broccoli, straw mushrooms tossed in a slightly thick soy sauce based sauce. Their Szechuan String Beans are phenomenal! Cooked crispy and tossed with caramelized onion, this is a great accompaniment to multi-dish orders. Spring rolls are great too although not super packed with veggies it still packs a punch enough to satisfy your need for something fried. This is a great Chinese carry out , give it a try and I'm sure you'll find many dishes you'll enjoy!

    Curry Fish Filet - sauce is creamy , a little spicy and warms up the soul

    The food was just ok. Nothing too special. Tastes like your ordinary Chinese food restaurant. Portions were very small.

    Fantastic and authentic Sichuan Chinese restaurant. My family is picky about their Chinese food but…read morelove this place and deemed it authentic. Service was excellent - friendly and attentive wait staff. Restaurant is decorated extremely well - almost like an Italian bistro inside, funny enough. Even their menus are beautiful printed photo books. Bonus, you can make reservations, which I do recommend on a weekend because it was very busy and there was a wait. The food was delicious. Peking duck was prepared beautifully but was less duck than I was expecting for a whole duck, plus it was $60. You have to pay for extra pancakes, but the vegetables and sauce could be replaced for free. The duck soup that accompanied the Peking duck was delicious and flavorful. Every dish I had was delicious. We had the string beans, eggplant, Westlake beef, soup, fried spicy chicken (so good, one of their famous dishes), cold spicy chicken, noodle dishes, fish dishes, home style tofu, pan fried dumplings. I honestly lost count. We ordered so much. The spice level is high with the Sichuan peppercorn. I heard you should skip the soup dumplings here (machine made?). Otherwise Highly recommend this fantastic restaurant!! I will be back when I crave this food.

    I came on a weekday for lunch and had a positive experience. The fried whole fish in spicy bean…read moresauce was superb, and the stir-fried green beans with minced pork was solid. Peking duck was so-so, I've had better especially at the well known Peking Gourmet Inn in Falls Church, Virginia. But that place sets a very high bar for that delicacy. Service was alright, but it was a quiet weekday after 1 pm. Possibly not the best time to get a true sense of the quality of service. The tables, chairs and dining ware were definitely quality goods better than an average mid tier Chinese restaurant's, and the decor was bright and fairly aesthetically pleasing. There was one wall having paint job and/or wallpaper which may be inherited from the prior restaurant I suspect, and jt looks more Mediterranean than Chinese, making it feel a little strange. Maybe fusion East-West interior decoration is becoming a thing. Overall the atmosphere was very good including the rest room and the faucet and sink for handwashing between the two rest rooms.

    My wife and I used to live nearby and carried out from Lee's Kitchen often. We loved the food. We…read moremoved away and had not been back in several decades. Now that we've again had their food, we will return often! First, i am gluten free and it is not easy finding a Chinese restaurant that understands. MOST soy sauce is made with WHEAT! Lee's Kitchen understands AND offers gluten free soy sauce, although at a somewhat outrageous surcharge of $1.75 per dish. Admittedly, GF soy sauce is a lot more expensive than ordinary soy sauce, but this is extreme! What I liked: The guy who takes the orders, perhaps the owner, is a NICE person. Patiently explains ingredients and fully understands people with special dietary needs. Fish Filet with black bean sauce was excellent. Drunken noodles was excellent and very different from Joe's Noodle House, the standard by which I judge. The shrimp were large and delicious. Minced Chicken lettuce wrap appetizer was good but cheapened with diced sweet peppers. What I did NOT like: I do not know the chef's background, but I would guess he or she is NOT from Szechuan! MaPo Tofu is my all time favorite authentic Chinese dish. Sadly, very few restaurants make it well. It is NOT enough to cube some tofu and make it spicy hot! Lee's Kitchen MaPo was Very disappointing. Drive the additional 8 miles or so to either Joe's Noodle House or Szechuan Jin River for GREAT MaPo! Although I am not of Chinese descent, I know and appreciate authentic Chinese food and, especially, real Asian veggies. I am not certain, but I doubt that Lee's has any. I may be wrong!

    Do not go to this place, any good review is a fake. Disgusting, got wontons without filling, well…read moremaybe a drop and what i got was so hard it almost broke my tooth, (ok exaggerating) called up to complain about the wontons and the tiny amount of filling. Oh that is how we make them with very little meat. I truly do not understand how this place is in business and what is wrong with people in Silver Spring. Any Chinese take out I have been to since I moved here in September is awful. I have travelled to most of this nation and never found an area where you could not find a decent place to get Chinese take out.
