Terrible food, sorry but I would not go back. Place is clean, service is good but the sweet sour pork is thick batter with tough tasteless meat, the deep fried roll is thick fried roll with unrecognizable filling. read more

Egg roll and soup are my favorite here. Rice and cow mein are okay. Sweet and sour is hot or miss. Restaurant is clean and service is fast.

Our favorite Chinese food by far! Customer service is always great and ordering is easy and our order is always fast fresh and hot until we get home in Ceres. Also portions are huge and the price is very reasonable for the amount of food. We ate inside once and it was super clean and decorated nice! read more

Dining room is open. We just had a nice dinner here. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken with rice and the Lee's soup spicy. It was my first time trying the Lee's soup and it was good it had three meats and veggies. I would get it again but without the spicy. My palette is on the mild side, although I was able to eat the soup with the spice level, I would not get it again without asking or it mild. The service was superb! They have a waitress that is kind, prompt and very friendly! I'd go back just because everyone there is always so nice to us! Love this place give it a try! read more

Wish I could give 0 stars . The food is not good at all. Made me pay for something I didn't like or eat .

Great food, very tasty. Not oily like other Chinese restaurants. Love the beef and broccoli here, cooked just right, veggies are not over cooked and its not swimming in gravy. OMG! Beef on a stick is sooo good and tender, you gotta try this one even picky eaters will like it ( if you've ever had Filipino tocino aka sweet meat, beef on a stick is close to tasting like it - so for those of you who had tocino you know its hecka yum) . Staff is friendly, patiently explains what your ordering if you have a question about the dish and accommodating to your needs. So far I have ordered to go about 5 times and the food is always spot on. Service over the phone and in person during pick up is always welcoming. I recommend this place and have to friends and family. read more

Lee’s Chinese Kitchen - Pork chow mein, garlic chicken, broccoli beef, beef on a stick and good old steamed Jasmine rice. - Chinese Near Me - Modesto, California

The food is priced well, and they give you big portions. They have family meals available as well as combos. The waitress was very nice and was more than happy to serve us and help in any way. Our family enjoyed the food and the atmosphere was quiet and inviting. read more

Super yummy very affordable very friendly. The only thing is the pork is very dry. Otherwise, in that this is my go to place.

I've been coming here since the 70s. Always was happy with the food and prices. Only had a problem with the waitress a few times, one was rude which made me order for takeout until I didn't see her anymore. The other one was kinda strange but overall we really enjoy the food no matter what we order, it's all good. read more

I'm giving it 4 stars primarily for the garlic chicken and the friendly service! They are also very quick and their menu prices are a good value. read more

Been going here since I was a child, I've had birthday dinners here and it's amazing. The portions are very generous too, and the service has always been relatively quick. Since the place was burned down around the pandemic they've upgraded the bathrooms too. It gives a feel that makes you want to put your phone down and talk to each other at the table. read more

Not your typical greasy Chinese food, Lee's has been around for probably close to 40 years and I have always enjoyed their fresh ingredients. Must tries include their Garlic Chicken, Lee's Special Chow Mein, Shrimp Chop Suey, Beef on a Stick, and big egg rolls. Whatever you order, you really can't go wrong. Service is always top notch, orders are always correct, and staff is always friendly. read more

Flavorful, plentiful, reasonable, clean, excellent & friendly service. Egg rolls are amazing!! We got a large family dinner and everything was delicious. read more

Best chow-mein ever! Been eating here for over 20 years and it's my go to restaurant to fulfill my Chinese food cravings!

If I could give no stars I would. We were waiting for drinks to be refilled. Finally had to pull someone to help us. Food.... holy crap, I so very disappointed had the fried prawns, honey walnut shrimp, pork rice, sweet and sour pork. The prawns were drenching in oil and I know what you are gonna say they are fried but never ever have been to a restaurant where they are sitting in their own grease . The other food was not tasty at all. We read the reviews and saw it didnt have some good ones but thought it was all about the service. Well here is one for you that shows you read more

Lee's is a modesto staple i have been coming here since i starting eating solids literally like 2-3 years old with my family. Anyway, food to me is amazing just go easy on the soy sauce their soy sauce is the real deal. Service has always been par for quick service chinese food. read more

Grand reopening! Yes, been waiting forever for their amazing chow mein. Went in on reopening day....majorly busy... please please have patience, they weren't prepared for just a turn out.... Henry Ma, your restaurant is well loved. So happy Lee's kitchen is back. read more

I just went into order 20 mins before closing , waited 10 mins before someone helped me just to be told they were all sold out! How can you be all sold out when you don't know what I am even ordering . Plus not to mention they were cooking food for the Togo orders that were waiting . If you stop serving food at a certain time then it would be nice to list that as your hours of operation because most assume if you close At 9 that means you can order up until 9. Well at least the restaurants I've worked at are like that! This place has been reopened for 3 days now and already the workers are lazy! read more

Got here at 11:00am, opening time, place is packed by 11:30! We ordered at 11:15, I hope the wait is not long and food is as good as I've have heard. We were there for 2 hours, waiting to be served, ordering and waiting for the food, and paying. The food was not worth the wait, it's average. They were not ready for a reopening, and the sound level, was loud! Seems they take care of the to go orders before the dining in customers. The ladies (except the woman at the register, were nice and doing their very best. That's where I give 3 stars ~ I reallly wanted to give this place 5 stars but this visit it didn't live up to it , maybe they should have waited for the grand opening(?) I will try again, but not for a while. read more

The food here is delicious and the portions are amazing. I love how they do their sweet and sour sauce as well as their eggrolls. They're huge and really yummy. Everything is always fresh and the inside of the restaurant is so clean it puts my mind at ease. If you're one of those people that hate veggies in the sweet and sour dishes this place is straight up your alley. Also the orange chicken is more sweet and fruity so if your looking for a bit of kick get the garlic chicken. It's super flavorful and has a similar sauce just not as sweet. read more

Best simple Chinese spot I've been too. I'm more into the basics when it comes to these kind of places and I would say their chow mien is pretty good. Portions are great and this will be my go to for now. read more

While eating inside the restaurant, I found a cockroach crawling around inside my meal. After catching the vomit in the back of my throat, I brought this up to the management. Management refused to refund my money and even went as far as to blame me for the cockroach being there. I didn't bring the cockroach from home, it clearly came from inside their filthy restaurant. If you want to eat in a clean restaurant, look elsewhere. If you want decent customer service, look elsewhere. If you want to get a disease from the insects crawling around on the food, dishes, silverware, & tables that you will eat from, then this is your place. Not for me. read more

I'm currently here. Our drinks havent been filled since we got here. I ordered a spicy meal and its 100 degrees outside. Food is delicious mine at least my husband and daughter are waiting on their meals still. I wish we were able to enoy our meals together and with refreshments. It is super busy but my husband is noticing staff talking amongst each other more than taking care of customers. Probably not going to be back in a while. They need to work on their customer service to match their food. read more

Lee’s Chinese Kitchen - Our drinks - Chinese Near Me - Modesto, California

I lived in Modesto for 15 years and moved up to Yosemite for a couple of years. I recently moved back and was excited to come back to Lee's but I had the most horrendous experience yesterday, January 7, 2024. When I arrived, there was only one other party in the entire restaurant. I sat at a table close to the front door. A man came in who was indeed disheveled. He asked for a table, and the hostess hesitated. The manager came out and told this man that he could only order food to go. He would not seat the man. The man ordered and paid for his food. When it arrived, he had to leave. I told my waitress that it was mean and cruel and asked to speak with the manager. I waited a very long time and the waitress said he was busy. I looked around the empty room and said and said he was NOT busy and I wanted to speak with him. when he came over, I asked if the man had paid for his food and he said yes. I told him that it was mean and cruel for him not to let him eat his food in peace. He said that he smelled and I said that he was not even close enough to see if he smelled. I told him that I might smell. I told him that he could have offered him the restroom to wash up or seat him away from anyone. He told me he had the right to refuse service. I told him that I would never eat in his restaurant again, and he simply said that was my choice. I got in my car and cried hysterically at that poor man who just wanted to pay and eat for his food. I will never ever eat at least again, and I will tell as many people as possible not to go there. if you choose to eat at Lee's be careful because they may not like how you smell !!! I am going to contact the Better Business Bureau because he may have the right to refuse service but once he took his money the patronage. Can't we all just be KIND? read more

After a long wait I finally was able to go to Lees and buy dinner for my family. It was HORRIBLE!!! I ordered dinner for 6 and egg rolls. The shrimp was so over cooked you could not chew it as was the sweet &sour chicken. Half the chicken in foil was burnt beyond recognition and the rest was so salty you could not eat it! The egg rolls, rice and chomping were edible but flavorless. What a waste of money! We fed it to the dogs and had burgers. We will never go back there. I think after 50 years Mr. Lee has lost his touch! Do yourself a favor and get Panda!) read more

Lee’s Chinese Kitchen - #19 to go - Chinese Near Me - Modesto, California

So at one time I would always go to North China town on Standiford and Prescott but since it closed down I decided to go to Lee's chinese kitchen for the first time. I was so impressed by the service everybody was so happy I was in and out grabbing my food and during the pandemic it was really really efficient. I got the garlic chicken chow mein and rice and the one thing I loved about that place is they didn't over oil their food like a lot of Chinese food I have gotten. The chicken was crispy very garlicky which I love garlic to begin with the chow mein was an oily all over the place it was fantastic and also the rice was cooked perfectly. I definitely recommend anybody in Modesto to come here or anywhere else. read more

Good food; however, left early due to seeing TWO cockroaches going towards and hiding under round table nearest window toward furniture store PLEASE call insect IQ when this is eradicated we will return read more

Best Chinese ever. We've lived in the Bay Area and southern CA and nothing as good as Lees!! Great service and we have been known to take a detour, order extra and take it home, which is 2 hours away. read more

This is the best Chinese food place in Modesto! Their food is so good. Service is quick and friendly. A variety of food, and very tasty. The restaurant is very clean as well. read more

Lee’s Chinese Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Modesto, California

How can you not love Lee's? Abundant portions -- POUNDS OF FOOD - and tasty! We usually get the combo of garlic chicken which with combo comes with fresh fried rice And Noodles. Their egg rolls are huge -- seriously order and see their size and deliciousness. Highly recommend this must go to restaurant! read more

They are currently doing take out during COVID . I did not read the reviews in her prior to going today , but I did hear from several people that grew up in Modesto mention that the food was great. I got the Garlic Chicken with chow mien and pork fried rice. My husband the spare ribs with chow mein and fried rice. The food was amazingly fresh and authentic tasting. The servings were big enough to save some for a small meal later! I heard that the restaurant had burned not too long ago, but the renovation is really beautiful and classy. Will definitely recommend and return for more yummy food! read more

Been waiting for this day for quite some time. No one came close while the restaurant was down for renovations. Sooo Sooo good! read more

Lee’s Chinese Kitchen - Beef with vegetables and white rice - Chinese Near Me - Modesto, California

I went in last night and ordered a combination 14. There were some other customers in front of me but the employee at the register was efficient and didn't take long at all for each transaction. I was quoted 15 minutes for my order to be ready and it seemed like it came out in that amount of time. My order came bagged with everything I could have wanted in the bag without my even asking. I was blown away with that. The portion size was massive, I can eat and I didn't even finish half. The beef on a stick was cooked perfectly, nice char on the outside but pink and tender inside. The pork fried rice and pork chow mein had plenty of pork and a good balance of veggies, meat and rice or noodles. Will definitely stop again next time I'm in the area! read more

I absolutely love Lee's kitchen. When you walk in you're greeted right away and you're sat down immediately if there are clean spots available. Staff members are all very friendly and helpful. Promptly after ordering, our food was given to us and it was delicious. Every single time. Not one complaint. This place can get so busy. One time I came here and there were so many people that's eh actually ran out of co2 for the sodas. That might be my only complaint. It never happened again after that though. Overall, friendly staff, friendly environment and great food! read more

Lee’s Chinese Kitchen - Broccoli and beef with white rice. Very delicious! - Chinese Near Me - Modesto, California

Second time here and still not disappointed! Wonton soup is so savory! And the potstickers are huge! A few items we've tried are the pan fried noodles and the Kung pao shrimp and the sweet and sour shrimp. So far everything has been delicious. The best part is that the food won't leave you hating yourself afterwards. A definite try if you're in the Modesto area looking for quality Chinese food. The prices are also very reasonable and the staff is so polite and friendly. read more

This is going to be a very honest review. I've only visited Lee's Kitchen a few times. Normally my go to order is #19, potstickers and egg rolls. The food is good but it definitely varies per customer experience that goes in. Recently I've had an incident happen to me twice. I had my usual order at night time and the next morning I woke up with an inflamed Uvula. I woke up thinking I was choking on something but it was how inflamed and low it was touching my tongue. And believe me it's not a pleasant experience to go through for a whole week. I don' t know if it was an allergic reaction from the oils they use or a certain ingredient. This has happened to me only twice from all other times I've visited this restaurant. Each customer is different. I personally won't be coming back because I'm actually afraid it will happen again and I don't want to risk getting an infection or going to the doctor over Chinese food. read more

The food is so good. Top quality. Portions are huge. First time going there and will be going there from now on
