Fantastic Chinese restaurant. The servers were kind and friendly. Not to mention attentive. Hands down the best egg drop soup I have ever had. Highly recommend if your looking for Chinese and in the area. read more

Ordered a shrimp dish. PAID for a shrimp dish. Got home to find Lee & Co. had swapped it for chicken. They read the order back correctly. So, this is an obvious case of, sneaky & dishonest cost cutting! Super pissed! Probably WON'T be BACK! read more

Great Asian food. I mostly get take out but I have always had great service when dining in.

Worst experience ever.... I have heard such great things about this restaurant and their food. We were very excited to try it, but unfortunately we will never go here again. We placed an order at 4pm to pick up at 6:30pm. I arrived at 6:35, stood in line for an hour only to get up to the register and find out that it was still not ready. There was one employee ringing up to go orders, expediting, answering the phone and finding orders. When I asked how long it would be until it was ready, she said that it could be anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 or 2 hours... they had lots of orders ahead of mine. Meanwhile, ahead of me, they had placed their order at noon for a 6:30 pickup and it also wasn't ready... There was no rhyme or reason, certainly not enough staff to accomodate the orders that they took. TERRIBLE and DO NOT Recommend. read more

When I start eating authentic Chinese food, I just want everyone to Lee me alone and let me enjoy it. Lee Cafe has good Chinese dishes - but not amazing. All in all, it's an excellent Chinese restaurant just inside the border of South Carolina in the Charlotte burbs, with pretty good Chinese stuff - much of it authentic. The Mapo Tofu it was good but not amazing, whereas the Chongqing spicy chicken was more delicious - probably not spicy enough for me, and it did not have the numbing peppercorns from Szechuan region - but still very tasty. Service was good and they served me late even though they were close to closing time, special commendations for that. Prices aren't bad, either, and nice hefty portions. read more

Amazing service and environment. Attentive, fast, and reasonably priced food that was delicious. Would return and try their sushi!

Food has no flavor I order a sesame chicken And it wasn't cook all the way this is the second time it has happen. read more

Ordered ahead, couldn't pay online, arrived to an obnoxious line, no worries I ordered online a couple hours ago and I'm on time and I have my order number, they are calling numbers around the same range as mine, walk up to the front because I just need to pay and get my food, these other people are placing orders and getting numbers 50 to 60 higher than mine, not sorry- sent to back of the line again, get to the front after an hour, see tables with large parties come eat and go, they have not yet started to make my food, would I like to pay now? No, I left in a huff. Won't go back. Don't recommend patronizing this establishment. I have seen others with the same story, so it is on purpose and not an isolated experience. Is that Hot Pot place open yet? read more

Everything as expected and the reviews of the food and portions are spot on. Keep up the awesome work Lee Cafe!

This was our 2nd visit to Lee Cafe. On both our visits we found the service to be speedy, efficient & courteous. The food quality has been consistently the BEST Asian food we have eaten in the Charlotte area. Will will be making this establishment a regular of ours! read more

Super authentic Sichuan cooking in SC? Words I would never thought I would ever type. Located right across the NC/SC border in a supermarket plaza is this place. It's well decorated and clean - a big plus to some of the places I am used to visiting. I was promptly seated and ordered my Sichuan favorite, the "water cooked fish fillet" in Chinese. It is basically their Szechuan style fish filet. Fish fillets and chili peppers and peppercorns are placed inside a bowl as extremely hot oil is placed into the bowl which melds all the flavors together while cooking it. The dish is supposed to be very spicy but the preparation here may have been tamed down a little bit, I didn't find it spicy at all, which was disappointing! I was also only given one bowl of rice for a large family style dish. Service was good. All in all still a good experience. Would likely return! read more

Great food! I'm from So. Cal and enjoy Chinese food. I've tried several in the south west Charlotte and Lee Cafe is by far the best. Not had a bad meal yet! Friendly staff and clean eating area. read more

Yep, this is quite authentic Chinese food but the Americanized looks fine too. The only thing that would have made this better would have been eating with someone and being able to share and try some more food. I chose the Spicy Chicken with Chilis and yes, it was a little spicy but if you stayed away from the peppers, it was really just a lot of flavor and texture. Do people really eat those hot chili peppers? They just seem dry to me. Plenty of chicken and it was tasty. Service was good and the food was excellent. I'll need to meet up with some of you Yelpers here so we can get a few things for the table and SHARE! (My 100th review of 2018!) read more

I'm always pleased with the food when I come here. The service is nice and quick! A great spot for a quick dinner or for a family dinner.

We've never been regulars, but we ordered a few times several years ago. The food was always pretty good, but the service was borderline hostile so we went back to our old fav in Tega Cay. Well tonight we ordered take out and it was only okay. The food was so bland and basically every dish tasted the same. Not a great experience at all. read more

One of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. Ample portions, service is spectacular, food comes out quick and hot.

Best Chinese in sc and nc. I'm super picky when it comes to Chinese but this spot never disappoints. I definitely recommend this place to visit you won't regret it. read more

This mess don't taste like no damn sesame chicken. It isn't sweet and taste like warm vinegar. They should be ashamed. The only thing saving this is the white rice which doesn't do anything but help to rid the flavor. read more

New Year's Eve - horrible experience for pickup order. Called in an order for dinner. Arrived to pickup around 6pm. Their "pickup line" was easily over 25 people, along the bar and wrapping around tables. Over 1/2 hour wait to get up to the girl. My order was sitting there ready for who knows how long, barely warm. She didn't know, with many other orders sitting their waiting. They don't know how to handle a crowd apparently. Most of my order got thrown out at home due to safety concern. Too cold. read more

我不想说评价了，你们自己看吧。一开始老板给我们协商的是这盘菜不要钱。我无语...如果我没看错这是蟑螂吧 I don't want to comment, you can see it yourself. At first, the boss negotiated for us that only this order does not require money. I'm speechless... It is a cockroach. read more

We live in Fort Mill, and we're happy to find a Chinese restaurant in our neighborhood. But several bad experiences have led to our decision to never return. The first negative was when the hostess wasn't happy that we were only two people coming in to dine. On other visits, the main course was served before we had finished our appetizers. The final straw was when our entree was served before our appetizers and sushi. And we always ask ahead of time to give us time between courses. More than three strikes, but they're out. Which is unfortunate because the food is tasty. read more

Attempting to never go here again. Cheap to the point of being rude. Food is good. Prices are not good....which you should double check. The women running takeout should be institutionalized. For whatever reason without fail she is lurking and she's angry. Try asking for mustard I guarantee they will hand you one two packets tops and the women will appear out of thin air. Oh and ask for a receipt in English! They were 10$ over what it should have been and the receipt is in Chinese. Eat in, the staff is fine. It's takeout...she's the soup guy from Seinfeld read more

Lee Cafe - Useless receipt for 10$ overcharge. That's a kind estimate. Ever watch Seinfeld? She's the soup guy - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

After not going for a few years, I tried lunch here and it wasn't as good as it used to be. The General Tso chicken was tough, the sauce was really way too sweet and the brown rice undercooked so it was actually crunchy. It used to be much better. Prefer Great Wall of China in south Charlotte. read more

This place is a hidden gem and their sushi chef is the best! Highly recommend any of the following: Lee Roll, Tuna Hats, Rainbow Roll, Firecracker, Fish dancer (very fresh variety of fish), Passion, Green grass (seaweed on top), Super Boost, Tuna in white & Genki roll. The wait staff sometimes are a bit off putting but don't let that deter you, the food is definitely worth it. Again, the sushi chef is AMAZING at what he does and very nice! read more

Lee's Cafe is one of the most Authentic Chinese Restaurants around the Charlotte area. Get ready for some HOTTTT Szechuan style food. It honestly left my lips and tongue numb. The food is seasoned to perfection, and the food display is on point. I recommend going here with a 4+ people so that you all can get different dishes and share. Family style is the best way to eat like for real. Items to get: Seafood Tofu Claypot Spicy Chili Chicken Spicy Veggie and Chicken Tips: On sundays, come a little early if you are trying to eat lunch read more

Hard to believe this place is in Fort Mill, SC. A really good first time experience based on a recommendation from mi hijo Ben. They have a great lunch special at $5.95 with quite a few selections. I had the spicy Sa Cha chicken which was outstanding. The spring rolls were the best, I've ever had, nice and crunchy with a distinctive flavor...not mushy like most others. It's big dining room, you can sit at the bar or if you have a group, they have two private dining rooms. They have outside dining if the weather suits, hope you don't mind a view of the parking lot, but hey, if the weather is nice, who cares. A very extensive menu, they have take out and a dedicated service line for take out/pick up. The real thing here is the sushi, they have their own Sushi Chef and a dedicated sushi bar. You know they must be doing something right when the place is packed on a Thursday at lunch time. They don't deliver and they don't do Dim Sum. read more

Food is very good and really hot. Loved the hot and sour soup and how crunchy the general tso chicken was.

Best of the Best Chinese food...always attentive, very organized for takeout. Nice dining area. Wish they had more of a bar area. Only go here when up in that area every now and then. But food was memorable! Would really love if they moved or opened a spot in Indian Land area as we only have corporate chain type here. We need authentic Chinese now here in Indian Land. read more

Great meal. Will be back. Excited to try more menu items. Highly recommended to anyone in that area.

One of the more top-notch Chinese/Asian cuisine restaurants in the area. I've only been in here for lunch but wouldn't be opposed to coming by for dinner some time. There's something different about this Chinese place compared to so, so many others camped out in Food Lion shopping centers throughout the South. So many of those other places often feel so gimmicky. Cheap meals with a front of being authentic Chinese. While I've only had the lunches here so far (which fit firmly into the "standard American Chinese food" category) I get the feeling that they're legit here. They're not actually strictly staffed by Chinese people. Oddly enough, that's indicator number one that they might be authentic. Anyways, staff here has always been super nice and helpful. Easily among the friendliest staff I've met at a Chinese restaurant. They actually take time to talk to you and get to know you. They sport mini iPads for taking orders and I'm sure that enables them to get to tables quickly without having to run orders back to the kitchen constantly. I've never met with a delay on receiving my food here. The food flavor and quality isn't anything to write home about. Again, basing this entirely on the lunch menu right now. I'd really like to take a shot at some more authentic stuff. I've had the sesame chicken and it's honestly a bit plain. But this won't stop me from going back in again for lunch. They move quickly and you can get full and pay tip for $8. See y'all again soon! read more

Outstanding food and service. We really like the Ginger Chicken and the Spicy Chile Chicken.

I think every other review does this place justice. Lee Cafe is the best authentic Chinese that I have had in the Charlotte area. We don't get out this way much, but we had heard so many great things that we had to make the trek from north Charlotte south of the border. Worth every minute in traffic! Be sure to get there early, because the restaurant fills up fast! read more

Service was good and food was wonderful. Quick easy dinner.General Tso 's Chicken. Lettuce wraps are very good.

My dining mates and I ate here for dinner. Very extensive dinner menu featuring regional choices for example of Cantonese, Szechuan dishes,plus combo dinner specials. Lunch menu also extensive. Sushi cuisine offered also. A small ipad on the table with photos of some of the dishes Menu prices very reasonable. The atmosphere was plain but comfortable. Our waitress very friendly and eager to explain the menu we had questions about. Our dinners were plated nicely, good portions. Food was warm not hot. Spicy dishes were not that spicy and we actually asked for a extra little dish of hot sauce for the food. Everything we ordered was very tasty. Our waitress made a few mistakes on our orders but quickly apologized and brought out the correct dishes. We ordered, hot and sour soup, miso soup, lettuce wraps, salmon roll. Entrees were Hunan chicken, beef and scallops, sesame chicken, and spicy fish. Brown, white or fried rice choices with dinner. All in all an enjoyable dinner. We would come back again for lunch or dinner. read more
