Excellent personal service by the owner "Uncle Lee"! Late lunch Mongolian Beef was delicious and Uncle Lee was the best host with friendliest smile and demeanor! 5 Stars all day! read more

Well that was disappointing. I swung by here for dinner as my sister said it was wonderful. My sister's judgement has always been pretty good. This time not so much. I had the orange chicken. Now at every Chinese food place I've ever been to the orange chicken has always been pretty standard. Sliced chicken, typically bite sized or a bit bigger, in a nice orange glaze sauce. The chicken here sort of looked like they just dropped an entire rotisserie chicken from Costco into a fryer and then ran it by an orange grove hoping that the scent of the oranges would rub off on it. The chicken wasn't of a very high quality either, and after about four bites I said nope and peaced out. The cost was more than I would have expected too, with two dishes running about 70 bucks. read more

Uncle Lee’s Kitchen - Boring fortune. - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The service is quick, kind and thoughtful. I just missed the lunch, so I ordered sweet and sour chicken with a side of rice and hot tea. The sauce is definitely homemade and delicious, the vegetables fresh, the only downfall is that they pound the chicken breast way too thin. All I could taste is the breading. I would definitely come back and try a different dish. read more

Uncle Lee’s Kitchen - 3. Almond Fried Chicken with Phad Thai Lunch - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've eaten from Uncle Lee's many (7?) times now and every time is excellent. The service from the staff in the restaurant is great and takeout orders are ready very quickly. It is my favorite restaurant in this neighborhood. They treat you like family here. The menu is quite expansive. The mongolian beef dish is a must order very time. You cannot go wrong with any dish here. The prices are a little high for a Chinese restaurant but the ingredients and food are high quality so I understand. Somehow I don't have any pictures of the food - probably because I eat it immediately when its served! Next time I will take photos. read more

They may have moved, it may be a different name but the food is still amazing. Just like when I was 8. I'm now 30, and each time I'm in Seattle I must take the drive over to the U district and get the best Chinese Food on the west coast! Thank you Amy for always making me feel like family when I come to the restaurant! read more

Uncle Lee's is a family owned restaurant with very welcoming, friendly, helpful staff. We had a large party yet there was still plenty of room for the locals to come in and sit down. Food was delicious and arrived quickly. Extensive menu with several different original dishes offered. The salt and pepper fried tofu was extremely tasty! We definitely enjoyed our meal and would eat there again if we are ever in the area. read more

Absolutely wonderful service. They treated my family like family, and the food was outstanding. We'll be back!

Food is delicious and plentiful and non-greasy. The owners are warm and friendly and even remember my name.

Took a while before they finally took our order. The food was good but really overpriced. Cocktails were very pricey. Maybe because they are in Laurelhurst they think they can get away with the high prices. read more

We arrived Sunday around 7 and parked right out front on the street. The restaurant was Empty. A nice lady greeted us and took our orders. The decor is simple, clean, and welcoming. We came here for the salt and pepper crispy tofu. It's one of my favorite dishes of all time! GET IT! We asked for chicken recommendation and ordered the general tso and a half order of string beans. The tofu was to die for - so crispy and flavorful. The string beans were super yummy with garlic and scallion. The chicken had huge pieces and lots of crispy goodness in a garlicky sweet and spicy sauce. The fortune cookies with the check were also quite tasty. The only downside here is the steep prices. Everything we had was top quality. I'd pay a lot for the tofu and find it worth it :) read more

Great food! The pad Thai was great. Many of the items on the menu can be ordered as a single entree or shared with a group of people. My favorite items were the cucumber salad and the green beans. The staff is wonderful - so attentive and the service is very quick. It's a cute little place, but on the smaller side so I assume they fill up quickly! read more

Best Chinese in Seattle! Everything is done so well, not super greasy like your typical Chinese meal. Favorite dish is the salt & pepper chicken (not on the menu, secret order!) Their spicy wontons and potstickers are great appetizers. Then we got the lo mein, fried rice, and salt and pepp chicken. Also the sweetest people own this place and have forever! They deserve to be known! read more

Uncle Lee’s Kitchen - a group of people sitting at a table with plates of food - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

True story...drove an hour and a half for a vasectomy in Sand Point on my Birthday of all days. Found the best yelp rated restaurant in the area. Ordered 4 dishes to go for my post-surgery meals. It was 2 pm so pretty slow in the restaurant, and the owner Uncle Lee greeted me at the door. He laughed at the amount of food I ordered for just me and I explained my situation. He said he gets alot of business from nervous men like me about to have surgery around the block. He welcomed me to sit and drink lots of water while I wait. I asked if the men usually have a drink before the surgery, he said ya I'll make you a strong one and he did. He sat down at the table next to me and we had the best conversation to take my mind off my pending surgery. When he found out it was my birthday also, he offered me another drink on him. I laughed and said I probably shouldn't, so he said I at least need to have a free birthday soup in the to-go bag. The food came and I still had time to kill for surgery. As I went to try the soup out of the to-go bag, he said no that's for your recovery, let me get you a new birthday soup for now. Got me a fresh bowl and it was delicious sweet-sour variation. You can tell the quality ingredients and talent used in the making of this soup. He was concerned that microwaving the food post surgery would diminish some of the dishes so he told me the best way to reheat each dish, and insisted I tried it fresh so I did and it was definitely 5 star Asian food(Chinese/Thai). After talking for 40 minutes and trying samples of his food, he wanted to meet my dogs n my truck I was talking about as he shared about his dogs. He followed me out to my truck around the block with fortune cookies for my dogs and was sooo sweet with them. Had the surgery and just ate the dishes at home and I'm very happy with each meal, the Mongolian beef is tender asf. Perfect spicy too. One of the best Mongolian Beefs I've had to be honest. He gave me extra spicy sauce just in case. Seems like only bad reviews for this place are many years old and from people in a hurry. I urge you to go enjoy not only the great traditional food, but the experience of meeting Uncle Lee and his staff. I will be back someday even though I live an hour and a half away. read more

We love going to Uncle Lee's Kitchen. The food is delicious. Uncle Lee has the best laugh. He always comes to our table to say hello and ask about our son. The service is the best. It's our favorite Chinese restaurant. read more

A very friendly place for lunch and dinner. I like that Lee came over and talked to us before and after our meals, adding to the relaxed ambiance of the place. Speaking of meals, the food is delicious, with fresh vegetables in the dishes we ordered for dinner. The Chicken with mixed vegetables had great flavor and crunchy broccoli, carrots, water chestnuts, etc. The pork with black beans is my favorite and recommend this to others. I recommend Uncle Lee's Kitchen for lunch or dinner or take outs. read more

Soooo freaking amazing!! The greatest Chinese in Seattle. Uncle Lee is such a sweet man and everyone is so welcoming. read more

Uncle Lee’s Kitchen - Beef 12. Lo Mein with Spring Roll Lunch - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great food. Staff and service were wonderful. Many returning customers were greeted by name.

The chonqing spicy chicken here is ridiculously good. Seriously just order it. Service and vibes are excellent

I'm not sure about their Chinese food but their Thai food is sub-standard even for Seattle. I would recommend Marlai Thai which is close by and much better at least the Pad Thai, and Drunken Noodles. The service is nice and the place is cozy but the food is too expensive given its quality and I won't be coming again for Thai food. read more

Wow, what a great place. I wish I had come here sooner. Large portions, extremely good quality, flavor and balance. The staff and owner were friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be back. read more

We just had an outstanding dinner here. The owner of this family run place was very friendly and made outstanding drinks. My kung pao chicken was the best I ever had and so were the green beans. We will definitely be back! read more

I can say that uncle lee's restaurant, is the best Chinese restaurant in Washington. I have tried a lot of Chinese food but nowhere can even compete with this place. Food quality is very high and it taste amazing. Service is always top notch and very friendly. Ambiance is nice and beautiful and very clean. I wanna thank the chefs and staff for the amazing experience every time I dine in. Bravo! read more

We've eaten with these folks at their old restaurant by the village and their new location on Sandpoint. Wonderful food, wonderful people.

Uncle Lees is the best Chinese in Seattle! We have been going here for years. We mostly order take out, but when we do dine in, the service is impeccable and everything comes out so hot. Our favorite thing to order is the salt and pepper chicken (off-menu), it is so tasty! The spicy wontons are also delicious. The owners are so friendly, we appreciate it and highly recommend Uncle Lees! read more

I've been to Uncle Lees twice. All dishes were excellent and large and the price was moderate. We sat down one time and took out the second time. We always over order so left overs were a good lunch the next day. Dishes we liked were Prawns with snow peas, General Tso's chicken, Moo-shu chicken, mango salad with shrimp. Enjoy! read more

Such a hidden gem!!!!! The bbq pork fried rice is A M A Z I N G!!! The orange chicken is also so well cooked and seasoned, it definitely does not have that rubbery texture some places have for their chicken. Also the spring rolls were good but not the best. But all in all the lady who did my takeout order was really friendly and sweet and my food was ready in 15mins, my husband picked it up and mentioned the place looking slow but really clean. We found our little take out spot for the remainder of our stay on Seattle! Can't wait to try other items on the menu! read more

My friend and I stopped in for a drink and bite. This place did not disappoint. It's a cute hole in the wall place that is very reasonable. We had a jack and coke with dumplings in spicy sauce and the dumplings were so fresh and great! Definitely recommend and will come back. read more

The food is great. The people are so very friendly and they make takeout very convenient. Highly recommended for eating inside their establishment as well! read more

Uncle Lee's food and service are both 5/5. I've been going here regularly for the last year and a half now, and I'm yet to be disappointed. Get the crispy salted tofu (yum!), the sesame beef, the garlic string beans and the hot and sour soup. So good! read more

The food is great. not good but GREAT. You will not be disappointed here. The steady stream of take out while service is ongoing is testament to their loyal customers. Get the scallops, both styles. THEY ARE FANTASTIC. read more

This is hands down the best Chinese restaurant I've ever been to. My family has been coming here for over 10 years and we've never had a bad meal - the food always comes out hot and fresh and the service is exceptional. The salt and pepper chicken, spicy wontons, and bbq pork fried rice are my go-to's but any item on the menu is guaranteed to be amazing. Try the food one time and you'll be a returning customer. read more

We ate in this restaurant a few times, but did a take out very often. The food is excellent! For me maybe the best Chinese restaurant in this part of Seattle. Service is great, and general atmosphere if eating in the restaurant, very nice. read more

Very reliable service for take-out or dine in. Lovely management with friendly staff. I ordered take away food for five. The order was captured beautifully//and an extra spring roll was thrown in to balance out the number for my order which consisted of four main dishes with rice and actually served five. Delicious food. I highly recommend the eggplant with basil in a sauce and the string (green) beans. Broccoli dish also super fresh tasting! read more

Consistently great food, really sweet staff, good value. Best option for Chinese in the area. read more

Uncle Lee’s Kitchen - Orange Chicken, Chicken with Broccoli & Mongolian Beef - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Nice family run restaurant. When we went in to pick up our order we were promptly greeted and our food was ready on time. The potstickers were amazing! They were cooked properly rather than just being thrown into a deep fryer. They were full of flavor, juicy on the inside and nicely crispy on the bottom. We also ordered almond fried chicken. The gravy was very tasty and the chicken nicely cooked. I wish it would have been battered rather than cooked with panko but it was still good. We will definitely be back! read more
