Was in the area and wanted to try this place for awhile. It was all I hoped it would be. Very authentic in every way. Parking super easy right out front. Very clean inside and restrooms were also well appointed. Looking forward to coming back the next time we have to be in Yuba city. read more

I used to love this restaurant. I recommended it to everyone I knew. Sadly, I will never return to this place! The waitress behaved in a completely unhinged manner. I went with my husband and we both ordered diet cokes with our meals. The sodas had a horrible taste. Like mold or mildew, mixed with chemicals and medicine. I told her that something was wrong with it and I would like it removed from the bill. She didn't answer me. She just returned to her perch over by the register, where she spent her time on her phone...never asking if the food was good, or asking if we needed anything else. The one thing we did ask for was hot mustard, she acted put-out. When the time came to go up to the register to pay I asked her if she took the soda off the bill, she said no. Then I forbade her from running my credit card unless she took it off the bill. She ignored me and ran my credit card anyway. She flat our refused to refund me for a drink that I took 2 sips from! I politely told her to give me $3 cash, which was the cost of the soda I didn't drink. She refused. I asked her if she is willing to lose 2 good customers forever over $3. She said "I don't care, don't come back!". We eventually got into a yelling match, in which I demanded she give me $3. She eventually gave me my $3 in cash, as the entire restaurant full of people watched her lose 2 long time loyal customers over something utterly idiotic. I will never be going back and that's very sad. As I really did like this place. Decent food at good prices. Lunch specials and dynamite 1960s decor that you just don't find anymore. The authentic real deal. But if the people working there cannot give decent customer service, I cannot go back read more

I have been eating here since I was a child. The food is great, and the customer service is even better. Once they made me a special item that wasn't on the menu to accommodate my diet. The sweet and sour sauce is the best I've ever tasted. I definitely recommend this place. The decor is a bit dated, but not any more than other Chinese restaurants in town. I personally love the ambiance because I have fond childhood memories there. read more

This was the first time my family and I had food from this restaurant. We were getting the meal to go but we placed our order there. Walking in, we were greeted by a cheerful lady who was also enjoying a quick bite while taking orders and seating people. She was great and warm and knowledgeable of the menu. The menu is a little extensive, but she helped me with my anxiety. The food was amazing! My favorite of the dishes we ordered (shown in my photos) was the egg drop soup. Not only was it warm and tasty, it was perfect for what I wanted to end the day. All the food was packaged well and my family enjoyed it. Even though we did not get the chance to eat in, the place was very nostalgic of similar restaurants my family and I used to frequent when I was younger. As we were making our way out, groups of people were making their way in. We will definitely be ordering from this place again. read more

I went for dinner and pulled a long nasty hair out of a plate of some pork dish. Service was lackluster. The ambiance was tacky and dirty. I stopped eating after finding the hair, but even what little I did eat made me feel sick. read more

Unfortunately, everyone got sick eating delivery from here. The 1 item we all ate was the Honey Walnut Shrimp with gobs of mayo. The shrimp were not breaded, which was a first for us. Someone said their first bite had a bitter taste. We spent well over $100.00 for all of us to be throwing up and having watery stool all day the next day. Will Never, Ever order from here again. read more

We read the mixed reviews but decided to give them a try for an early dinner today. We were very pleased. Service was prompt and friendly. The food (sweet and sour pork, sesame chicken, mushroom chicken, cashew chicken, along with chow mein and fried rice) was excellent and very big portions! We will definitely be back. read more

This was the first Chinese food place we tried when we moved to the area. It's always pretty good and we love the pork fried rice

This was the worse Chinese food ever. The house fried rice had so much grease in the bottom of it. It was gross and soggy. The sweet and sour pork had no flavor, orange chicken was edible everything else we had to end up throwing away as it was making people sick. Definitely a waste of money for everything. read more

The waitress was rude! the food came to the table cold and tasteless, on my plate the four pieces out of nine of the sweet and sour chicken where deep fried tempura with sweet and sour sauce! Place was gross! Live and learn. read more

Parking was easy, lots of parking. The place was clean and well lit. It could have been warmer inside as we got cold gusts of air whenever the front door opened and we were in the middle of the restaurant. Lady at the front was nice, definitely got nicer the longer we were there too. We got the cream cheese wontons, egg rolls, honey walnut shrimp, chicken chow mein, general chicken, and pineapple fried rice with chicken. The cream cheese wontons were completely flavorless. The egg rolls tasted overwhelmingly of cumin and coriander. The honey walnut shrimp....imagine this: candied walnut, soggy fried shrimp, COVERED in sugary mayonnaise. Absolutely disgusting. The general chicken was fine - the menu said it was spicy but it wasn't. I wish it was crunchier but the sauce made it soggy. And the broccoli it came with was barely cooked so it was hard to eat. The chow mein was fine - not much flavor either and the chicken was pretty rubbery. The pineapple fried rice was the best dish we got, but the chicken in it was totally unseasoned. If we came here and got just the general chicken and fried rice, we would probably feel like this place was okay, but the rest was so bad it is hard to forget...we are sad as we were hoping for a good local Chinese spot. read more

We ordered the appetizer platter, house chow mein, green bean beef, and sweet and sour pork takeout, and everything tasted perfectly fine. I like the combination of the appetizer platter. Nothing stood out as outstanding, but there was lots of meat in all the dishes, and it was cooked well. Next time I would eat at the restaurant because everything is better hot and fresh. I recommend you give it a try next time you order Chinese. read more

More interested in to go foods. Waited for food. Chow mein only noodles, some meat, no bean sprouts etc. Last of food came out as we were packing up leftovers. Won't go back. Liked the chow mein before. Service terrible read more

They make the very best sweet and sour tofu!! With pineapple red and green and yellow peppers

Fresh food Fast service Affordable Great customer service I come here every time and it's the most authentic Chinese restaurant you'll find in Yuba City area or Marysville read more

We are from Hawaii... we are used to authentic Chinese food... we have tried a lot of different Chinese restaurants on the mainland in many different states and Lee's in Yuba City was in the top 5 we have ever had... anywhere! Highly recommend! We had the chicken fried rice, beef broccoli, Hong Kong pan fried noodles and the salt & pepper prawns . All of it was good, really good! read more

New owners. Last time I was here was 25 years ago (after the last owner change). It was like walking back into time. The booths, the carpet, this place is an Icon. So cool! Our waitress was great and my food came out hot! I got the lunch plate with vegetarian chow mein, sweet and sour shrimp with a cream cheese wonton. I prefer my shrimp not be breaded, but the food was good. read more

We got the B4 dinner for four...along with Orange Chicken. We have been long time customers of Lee's Canton and were disappointed for the first time ordering. The food is flavorless....the Brandy fried chicken just tastes like plain tempura chicken with no salt. The chow mein no longer contains many veggies and it's sauceless....just a giant pile of mushy noodles with no flavor. Everything needed salt and lots of Soy Sauce to make it edible. read more

Lee's Canton Restaurant - Dinner B4 family meal - Chinese Near Me - Yuba City, California

Had not been out for awhile due to surgeries so was looking so forward to this trip. It was so disappointing. Rice was dry and pretty much tasteless. Chow mein not much flavor, sweet and sour chicken ok, sesame chicken ok, not great at all. But the dish I was so looking forward to was brandy fried chicken and it was the absolute worst ever. I was so disappointed. Needless to say will not return, just so sad about this place. Will be looking for good brandy fried chicken. read more

Wow. This place is not what it used to be. I have been going to Lee's since the 70s and was there last weekend and it was subpar. The potstickers were so doughy and the brandy fried chicken was so greasy. I don't live in the area anymore and see that as the final time eating at Lee's. read more

This restaurant has changed ownership a few times through the years. They finally have good people working there. Over the last few months we've ordered food here. Their food is very good. read more

So very disappointed! The food honestly was almost not eatable, the brandy fried chicken was slimy, the met that was in the pork fried rice had blue pieces of meat. I spent 98.00 for family of 5 meal and basically through it out! crispy chow Mein is nothing like the old Lee's made. Everything was super greasy. I'll never go back! And I want my money back! BUT I will say the Lady at the front counter was absolutely delightful! She was very nice! The issue is the food. read more

The sign outside reads under new ownership (again). We gave it a try today, and were very pleased with the food, and the cleanliness. Our waitress was delightful, cheerful, and most efficient. We could hear a cook in the kitchen singing something happy. I recommend this business. Great prices too. read more

Lee's Canton Restaurant - Food is amazing need to try here! Best Chinese food out of San Fran! - Chinese Near Me - Yuba City, California

Come in with low expectations and you'll leave exactly how you'd expect. Food was not the worst but definitely not the best. The lady who sat me down was pretty loud but I can tell she doesn't mean to sound mean or aggressive when she speaks. The BBQ pork chowmein I had was probably the worst I've ever put in my mouth. Noodles were mushy. Didn't have color compared most places I've been to around the area including the Bay Area and down in LA. The waitress pointed at their all day lunch special for $10.99 which blew my mind away but from reading these mixed reviews I had to try it as well. So I got the orange chicken that came with either fried rice or chowmein. Since I already ordered chowmein I decided to go fried rice. The friend rice was so disappointing. Considering I'm Asian my self I can assure you that we know a thing or two about rice. The two stars wasn't for the food or the employees. It was simply because I've lived here for 30 years and drove past this place a crazy amount of times and never batted an eye at the restaurant. Now after my first experience I can see why i never looked this direction at the restraunt. Yea sure they might've changed owners a number of times and maybe I got here years too late. But who knows. Never coming back. Wish them the best. If things somehow improve I'll maybe give them another try. read more

Lee's Canton Restaurant - Disgusting fried chicken I think who knows what it really is ugh - Chinese Near Me - Yuba City, California

We had quit coming here when the original owners were not here anymore because the food wasnt good anymore. I had been hearing on social media that with new management the food was really good, including the Brandi fried chicken. We purchased the dinner for three . Brandi, fried chicken did not seem like the batter was cooked. It was soggy and had an extremely weird flavor.. none of us ate it. All the chicken went in the the garbage. I was thinking that the chow mein would be like the original chow mein, which I believe is possibly called something else now. We liked the mixture from the past with the crunchy noodles on the bottom. The sweet-and-sour pork was OK as well as the fried shrimp. The fried rice did not have much flavor. I used to love the egg, foo young, but this one is definitely not my favorite. I want to like this place very much, but sadly at this point, I just can't give a great rating on the items that we had. Maybe it is because we are living in the past, but it is what it is read more

I've lived in Sutter county for 28 years and I've never step foot in this place but I was a little surprised. It didn't seem very clean around the station where I was paying for the food to go upon coming home. I soon realized that all seven entrées that were ordered pretty much tasted the same had the same exact brown sauce definitely no better than food court quality spent $92 in there and had to ask for mustard cookies and Vinegar wouldn't even eat it the next day read more

Sorry, but " crunchy noodle" should not be stale noodle. We weren't offered refills on our sodas, either. Prices were reasonable but the chow main served with stale noodles pretty much means we won't be coming back. Waitress was nice, though! read more

Best restaurants close to my job. Definitely scratch that rice and pork itch I get every once in a while. I should try somthing else then there sweet and sour pork but it's great read more

Seems like there's a lot of mixed reviews here, some people miss the old owners food and some people like what the new owners have done. I've never been to this place with the old owners but tried it recently with the new owners and I have to say it's the best around the Yuba Sutter area. I've been trying almost every Chinese restaurant around the area trying to find good Chinese food but was always disappointed. This place had very good tasting food and comes with a good portion of food. Could care less for the fried rice but everything else was delicious! The staff is very friendly, compared to other Chinese restaurants in the area. This will definitely be our go to spot for Chinese food. read more

NO ONE makes better pan fried noodles!! PERIOD!! Lee's Canton provides the best Asian dining experience. The staff is friendly, the ambiance is serene, and the food kills it EVERY TIME! If you have never been, than I just pity you! read more

I came here last week & loved my meal. I ordered the honey walnut shrimp, Mongolian beef, beef chow mein, and the crab pulls. The staff was friendly, I was originally going to order the peppered beef but our waitress recommended he Mongolian beef which was DELICIOUS. Best Chinese food in the area. The ambiance was nice & relaxed, I will definitely be returning read more

lady at the front was very rude we were ordering and half way through talking to her she left and took someone else's order she had a attitude and once we got our food she never came back we got no refills she passed by our table many times and we had to stand up multiple times and go to the front if we needed anything i have never been treated so bad at a restaurant before i will not be returning. read more

I've been eating at Lee's since I was a kid and this has always been out "go to". Each time family visits from out of town, Lee's is on their "Must Eat" list. Chow mein with crunchy noodles, egg foo young in brown gravy, thinly sliced pork (just pork) with hot mustard and sesame seeds.. YUM. We were all so disappointment when during our last visit we found that all our favorite recipes have changed. Say it isn't so. Bring back the old recipes.. PLEASE read more
