Love there food it's so delicious and yummy to have and love they sweet and sour soup it's to die for

Best hot n sour soup around. I also had the seasame beef, it was awesome! Clean and quiet ambience.

I love PaPa Lee's. It's my favorite Chinese restaurant whenever I'm in town. I love getting their shrimp fried rice because they don't add onions to it. It's always so hot and fresh when I order it. Giving it a 3/5 because today the drive thur line was unacceptable. I placed an order over the phone and was told it'd be ready in ten minutes. Well I get to the place and park in front but I am told drive thur only(even though the order had already been placed). Anyways, I get in line and there's five cars in front of me. Since they're taking over 20 minutes , one of the employees decided to come outside and start taking orders in person. When she comes by my car, I tell her about my already placed order. She tells me to stay in line and I will receive it at the end. In total, it took me more than 30 minutes to get my already made order. Unbelievable. They need to change this. They should do curbside for orders over the phone or online. Not make people stay in the drive thur. Still ate my food and enjoyed it but could have been better. read more

This place is now called fortune cookie. I used to love going here every other week with my grandma. It was our top favorite chinese place, but now we stay away from it. Its under new management and the taste just isnt there anymore sadly. Also recently when I would go pick up food from here I started to notice I get sick that same day I ate their food. My food would look and taste fully cooked so Im not sure exactly what they would do to the food that would always give me stomach issues that same day. read more

Stopped by today and had a very rude encounter with a cashier, a gentleman with long hair, he was probably having a bad day but I felt there was no reason for his hostility. Would have a better thing to say about this place if service was nicer. :( read more

The food was ok but overpriced. Server did not want to explain anything. They charged a fee for using credit card. Unless you want to pay a lot for mediocre food, I would go elsewhere. Now I will say the entree is enough for leftovers if that is your desire. read more

They're now called Fortune Cookie. I would always pick up a plate of General Tao chicken with fried rice. Their food is the best Chinese in the area! Don't go to the Panda nearby, you're way better off here in both quality & quantity. read more

After an impressive remodeling project, it is unfortunate the taste of authenticity it did have has been lost. New crew or other cause IDK... read more

Place has decent food and you get a heaping plate for the price. However, the last couple of visits the owner made me feel terribly uncomfortable. We wanted to try something other than our usual and felt rushed to order. When we lingered he tried to get us to sit down until we were ready, but the place was empty except for one other person who had already been served. During the last visit, after which we decided to stop going here, he gruffly told us to check our take-out bag to make sure there was nothing wrong with it. Then seemingly indicated something on the bottom of their take-out menu... return policy maybe? Haven't a clue why we were made to check our plates or reminded of their rules since we have never had issues with our orders. Hate to leave a negative review, but the owner should be aware customer service matters almost as much as food quality. read more

Papa Lee's is part of the same great family of food from Dai Tung in Mission, Tx. Papa Lee's is always consistent and is the fast food version of the sit down restaurant Dai Tung. They have good tasting good and is some of the best Chinese food I have tried. Papa Lee's is always great Chinese food when you're on the go and much better than the other big chain Chinese food down the street. Make this your place for Chinese. read more

This is the closest Chinese food restaurant for me, but that is not why I keep coming back. The food is made to order with fresh ingredients. The serving size is huge!! I always have leftovers for work the next day. I guess the only thing that I can complain about is the fact that the hot and sour soup is not very consistent. Sometimes it's too sour, other times too spicy. But most of the time it's just right. Give it a try, support our small businesses. read more

I definitely recommend this Chinese restaurant. The food is great and extremely fresh. Best Chinese food around here hands down. read more

PaPa Lee Dai Tung - a view of a parking lot - Chinese Near Me - Palmhurst, Texas

Good, fresh food and huge portions. Dude behind the counter needs some personality but otherwise one of my favorite Chinese food spots.

Great food but this location is currently closed has a sign that States remodeling but it's been like that for a couple months now

Their almond chicken is probably the best Asian food I've had so far. Even the side soup and the egg roll were better than others I've had

Worst Chinese I've had in the RGV. The foods was extremely lack luster and bland.There wasn't even an attempt to add flavor. You get no options with your combo i requested to swap the soup for anything else, i received a no. Customer service was bad, just brought the food to the table and set it down with out explaining what was what. To top things off we didn't even get fortune cookies. read more

I don't know how Papa Lee can be so fast AND so fresh, but that's what keeps me coming back. Legit spicy and crunchy and nothing is overcooked or has been left sitting around, and we never wait more than 15 minutes for an order. I keep ordering new items thinking I might find something to not like, and instead I keep saying, 'This is my new fave dish!' Really amazing! read more

We wouldn't leave any stars if that was an option. Asked the cashier to please make our order NOT spicy yet when we got the order what was in our chicken? Large, whole peppers...we attempted to try it but it was spicy af! Not only was it not how we requested but the chicken was dry and tough and hard to swallow. Also, wasn't given an option to substitute soup and wasn't told what the soup would even be. Essentially we paid $11 for 2 cans of coke and a decent egg roll. Absolutely will NOT be returning here ever, no matter how desperate we are for Chinese food on lunch!!! Wasted our entire lunch break and still hungry....lame af place! On top of food being subpar, the tables were dirty and sticky...mind you this is AFTER we asked for them to be wiped down!! Please if you haven't tried this place, just don't, save your money and get pizza! read more

We dined at Papa Lee's 26 April 2016 with Bob and Janet. Janet was wanting some "good" Chinese food. She was googling Chinese Restaurants and found Papa Lee's. We were surprised that it was a fast food style restaurant based on the reviews. It may be fast food and the service might be a little fast but the food was great. Although served in styrofoam to go plates it was most excellent. The restaurant was very clean and the server was a nice man. read more

Best Chinese restaurant in the RGV. Food is fresh and tastes great. I've ordered chicken, pork and beef, and have been pleased each time. The fried rice is excellent. read more

Best Chinese place around town! The food is always fresh ! The Prices are great, and the best part is that the portions are huge! Always have left overs ;) read more

Could it be that this small store in Palmhurst aka North Mission of places could have the best Chinese food in the entire south texas region. I would have to agree. The portions are huge and the price is good. I only have two complaints, They don't have that red Chicken Teriyaki on a stick, some places don't do that very well. And they don't have fortune cookies... Yeah no fortune cookies, that weird... How can you be a Chinese Restaurant and not have fortune cookie!!! read more

Four stars because the environment and customer service is great. This place is convenient due to its drive thru. The drinks are a bit over priced. The food is more expensive than other Chinese places because their portions are bigger. The food is not dry. It's just your typical American version of Chinese food, definitely not authentic. read more

The service was great but honestly this isn't real Chinese food. Sakura Japan in the mall is way better than this place. And they're over priced. I paid 30 bucks for food when I could've went somewhere better. read more

I stopped by this place due to the decent reviews on Yelp. Servings and prices were decent, but the food was tasteless and dry.
