My granddaughter is so excited because she can eat here since there are gluten free items, especially the soy sauce. The waitress was especially helpful, kind and interested to learn more. read more

My family has eaten at Lee's for quite literally generations. My great grandma was a big fan, and just yesterday we took my son with us for the first time. As always, everyone greeted us with a smile and since they know my grandma, they quickly swooned over the newest addition. The best deal is the combo plates, but make sure you start off with some fried green beans. They are fried in a tempura batter and come out salty, crunchy, and yummy! For entree, you really can't go wrong. I order the lemon chicken combo off the "secret menu" since I was a kid so I don't venture far from that. Some other notable menu items are the tin foil chicken, sweet and sour chicken or pork, and the prawns. No matter what you try, I'm sure you will enjoy it and the whole atmosphere at Lee's. read more

Lee's Chinese Kitchen is the best place for great fresh Cantonese fare in the valley, it's non greasy, delicious and has been a staple on Mchenry Avenue for many years. Servers are friendly and on the job, the proprietor cares about the satisfaction of the diners, reasonably priced for a large serving, they've returned from the disastrous fire in 2017 better than ever, l recommend it to anyone that wants good food. My Family and l moved to the East Coast of America, We've found nothing as good as Lee's, We miss it. read more

Lee’s Chinese Kitchen - I ordered a 'Small' bowl of Won Ton soup..it was good and huge..ordered sweet and sour pork, fried rice, Pork chow mein.. - Chinese Near Me - Modesto, California

The food here was decent but definitely not the best in our area my favorite part of the meal was actually the fried rice it was very good but the chowmein was mediocre and the sweet an sour sauce had way to much vinegar in it the service was really good and efficient and the ambiance was that of a normal Chinese restaurant nothing overly fancy will come back if in the area read more

I ordered the gourmet dinner for three. It was plenty of food. It was very very good and I'm going to re-order when I needed to take out again. read more

We love lees, their chicken in foil is really good. The staff is very nice and service is good

I read several reviews on how good this place so I tried it and the food did not live up to the hype. I got the fried chicken, egg rolls, chow mein, fried rice and beef broccoli. The egg rolls were super greasy and did not taste fresh. Actually none ofnthe food tasted fresh. Fried chicken was dry. Chow mein was gross. Fried rice had no flavor and was mushy. Beef broccoli had canned mushrooms? Who does that? The only reason I gave them 2 stars was because of the staff. The lady that took my order was SUPER SWEET! Very attentive to all of the customers that were there and who came in. 0 stars for food. 5 stars for service. I still have not been able to find a good chinese restaurant. read more

Waited a month for them to open back up, was super excited. Ordered a number 17 and two number 19. On all three of the combos hardly any sauce on the garlic chicken or the orange chicken was very disappointed. read more

This is our go to place for Chinese food at least three times a month, 18 miles from home. It is the freshest most delicious food, so many menu items, food arrives quickly, staff is very gracious. Very clean environment. read more

Its conveniently located on my way home from the kids piano lessons. I typically order over the phone and pick up 30 to 45 minutes after I call. Order is always piping hot. Service is friendly and there is always a small crowd of people waiting for take out. I "-star" one star only because a few times my food was extra salty. I think they use MSG and we don't eat the leftovers the next day because they smell odd. read more

This place is definitely a hidden gem! The food was so good. Combination plates come with your choice of one item, fried rice, chow mein, spring roll & a drink. These are the heaviest Chinese plates I have ever purchased. Definitely worth every dollar. read more

Been coming here since before the unfortunate fire that caused Lee to remodel and persevere. The food has ALWAYS been spot-on and great fair pricing. The garlic chicken plate with fried rice and chow mein is as good of a plate of Chinese food as anywhere! HIGHLY recommend this place. Great / friendly service and very good food!! read more

My 76 year old grandmother will say this is her favorite Chinese restaurant in Modesto. She's been going here since they opened as they've been in business about 30-40 years now and went through a remodel. I ordered an appetizer of egg rolls that came with two pieces and was not expecting two HUGE egg rolls. Now I get why some of the plates come with one egg roll. Nevertheless, I finished them both as they were loaded with veggies and came with sweet and sour sauce on the side. For my entree, I got one of the combination plates that came with pork fried rice, pork chow mein and orange chicken. You get SO MUCH food for your money. I barely put a dent in it by the time I was full. The orange chicken was okay but I really liked the pork fried rice and chow mein. I added some soy sauce to give it more color and taste. My grandma always gets the egg moo shu and says it's the best she's had. The food comes out quick and they came by our table multiple times to make sure we were still doing well. Looking forward to bringing her back the next time I visit and trying something else. read more

Really great food. Always fresh. Came here a lot on my break because it was right next door. The staff is always friendly. Restaurant is clean. read more

The food tasted really strange comparing it to other American Chinese food. The orange chicken was very citrusy and no spice. My mom called the chow mien anemic because it was so pale. It also had more onions the noodles. It even had celery. The best thing I had was the egg rolls. The place was nice I just probably won't go back for the food read more

Lee’s Chinese Kitchen - Egg Roll (2) - Chinese Near Me - Modesto, California

Goodness I was very surprised when I walked in to Lee's it has been completely remodeled and configured. It is now ultra clean and neat, nothing cluttered or dusty, the wood floors are pristine and unmarked. Tables clean and polished. Ordered our food, hubby had the luncheon beef and broccoli I had the vegetable egg foo young (spelling). It was so tasty and the portions are large, everything tasted fresh, hot and amazing. My chicken chow mien was so well made, hubby's beef and broccoli was over the top, but he wasn't expecting mushrooms, so he took those out. The cost was around $10 and we took over half of our meal home. Such a wonderful surprise. Highly recommend this for anyone who like Chinese food. Great food read more

Lee's Kitchen has been a goto Chinese spot growing up in Modesto. Their food is great, the service is always well, and the new remodel since it caught fire looks outstanding. I often get the #8 with egg foo young, fried rice, sweet n sour pork, and an egg roll. When my friend's Grandfather would come down to visit from Colorado, we'd sneak away and go enjoy us some Lee's Kitchen. Wish he could still enjoy a plate from them now. read more

Bummed I am even writing this review, being that we've eaten there since I was a kid. however there was hair in my fried rice tonight. How do I know it wasn't mine, because it was attached to the spoon and the spot in the rice that I was pulling it from. I grabbed it and flicked it off of my finger, my first meal of the day was a major let down. Our waitress on the other hand was amazing, but I'm done with this place. read more

Well sad day as the last time I will have Lee's in awhile. I am moving out of state and just had to have the #3 combo plate with side of egg roll one more time before I left. The food did not disappoint, it is simply delicious. The egg foo young had just the right amount of gravy. I order extra gravy, not because they skimp on it, as it is so big there is usually not enough room in the tray. The chicken chow mein is always great and the pork fried rice was very tasty. The egg rolls were fantastic. I was taken aback the first time I tried them. Breaded egg roll? The first time I had that, yum!! the sweet and sour sauce is the perfect accompaniment. I have been eating here since 1980 and it still as good as the first time. Everyone I have known to eat here comments on the portion size. It is huge. You definitely get your money's worth. Keep up the good work!!!! read more

Good service and good food. The best Chinese food in Modesto. Plus you get plenty of food!!

The #17 garlic chicken was good. the shrimp I got there sucked it tasted very fishy like it was fresh out the water no seasoning bland. Would only get the #17 again which was ok. Definitely better spots out there it's just mid Chinese food when your craving it. read more

I usually don't leave bad reviews, but this occasion I must. It's my first time here and bought 7 different plates for my family and I. We all agreed we didn't enjoy most of it. The fried chicken had blood squirting out of it and was completely raw the server herself was disgusted. We literally left most of our meal there didn't bother taking any leftovers which was most of it. read more

Lee’s Chinese Kitchen - Chow Mein, Fried Rice, Garlic Chicken Combo - Chinese Near Me - Modesto, California

I just witnessed these HORRIBLE people take money from a homeless man who paid for his food and then they FORCED him to leave the restaurant. He asked if he could sit and eat and they refused him. They took his money and kicked him out to eat in the street like a dog. DO NOT EAT AT THIS RESTAURANT. I tried to discuss this with them but they would not discuss it and said they kicked him out because he smelled. DO NOT EAT HERE!!! read more

Garlic chicken was mush ... chow mein was bland and was more of a lo mein but even so, it didn't have sauce as it was dry. Ordered a hot and sour soup and it was a clear broth with lots of cabbage, chicken, shrimp, and bbq pork.... I thought hot and sour soup had Wood ear mushroom, shiitake mushroom, bamboo, pork, tofu, and it's in a spicy and vinagrey broth thickened by cornstarch?? read more

just the best. consistent, very generous portions, still really good prices, always so nice. i have always loved and always will love lees!!! read more
