Family owned authentic Chinese food done right! Lee's hits the mark when you want some good quality and well portioned Chinese food. Today I enjoyed their Kung Pao Chicken, shrimp chow mein with added broccoli and carrots, and their Wonton Soup (not pictured). All 3 dishes were served hot, with excellent flavor. Francis is an absolute delight as well. Good attentiveness and she even took the time to say chat to my little brother about his toy truck, and recommended some dishes for us to try next time! The interior was recently remodeled, and the hardwood flooring is a nice touch that added brightness to the dining area. Ventura county, I know Panda Express is convenient, but switch it up a bit and visit Lee's Chinese Food if you want proper Szechuan cooking. read more

Con- it's expensive and you get so much food. I would rather pay less and receive less food. I'm a single person. Possibly 1/2 servings could be offered. Their food is amazing! I totally recommend this restaurant. I'll be back for more. Lee's please consider 1/2 portions. read more

Hidden gem and a family favorite. When you're craving Chinese food, Lee's is the spot! While it's nothing extravagant, don't let the appearance fool you. It's the comfort of knowing that there's good food waiting for you. The familiarity, taking that first bite that's awaiting you. Kind of like going to grandmas house and you can expect to have food cooked with love. Can't go wrong with 3 flavor sizzling rice soup. They're consistent, your bowl is filled with protein and veggies and they are not stingy too. While my hubby's a fan of wor wonton, I've won him over with this which I will always order. Our meal consisted of: tropical fried rice- you can taste the wok which is what fried rice is about. My picky husband always request this. If you're not a fan of pineapples, they have other great varieties too. orange chicken- tangy but a balance with some salty and sweet shrimp chow mein- noodles and shrimp, need I say more?! They have delicious egg foo yung, moo shu, beef with broccoli. They offer party platters for your party needs, too! read more

The food is always consistently good from Lee's. They have been our go to for Chinese takeout for 15 years. We recently had a snafu through Uber Eats who were not helpful at all with a mixed up order, but Lee's took care of us 100% even though it was not their fault . It was a reaffirmation of how much we not only love the food, but appreciate the owners and the quality customer service. read more

Needed to pick up a to go lunch. It was perfect. Hot delicious and lots of good quality. The staff was ver friendly. Can not wait to go back. read more

Service is good. Price reasonable. Wonton soup broth was very tasty but wonton on the dry side and tough. Sesame chicken was good, juicy in the middle and not to sweet. Beef in sizzling plate was impressive when it was served but the food was bland. The vegetables eaten separately was good with its natural taste. Beef and sauce was bland. The fried shrimp appetizer was dry and tough - felt like it was reheated multiple tines. read more

Pretty good I'll go back. Haven't got any ill feelings or bad digestive problems ok and not to worry

My family and I have been coming here for over 20 years. It's our favorite place by far, not just for the food but also for the service. Lee's is family-owned, and they make you feel like part of the family. They go above and beyond to make you comfortable while enjoying their delicious food. One of our favorites is the Wor Wonton soup and the pork ribs. Delicious food!! read more

I have been coming here for years. The owners are very nice. My favorite dish here is the Chicken Chow Mein. I love the King Pao Chicken and the Cashew Nut Chicken. My favorite side here is the Egg Rolls and if it's cold out you can't go wrong with the War Won Ton Soup. They did a nice job cleaning up on the inside of the restaurant but I almost always order to go. This is my go to spot in Ventura for Chinese food and I always recommend it to family and friends. read more

Delicious , fresh food!! FYI ! They're open now!! Great service and delicious food! read more

We loved it. My 5 year old daughter won't eat nothing but pizza, Coco puffs, and fried tilapia but she ate most of what we put on her plate. Definitely going back again. read more

please reopen we miss you food 10/10 best Chinese restaurant around ventura. Our family been coming here for years. The car accident closed it last year. read more

Good Chinese food is so hard to find these days. I drove from Camarillo because my mom suggested this place. It's soooo flavorful! I'm so happy I can end my hunt because for the last few months I've been to quite a few places and they were all horrible. This is the winner! Yum yum yum! read more

The food has always been delicious. And we've been getting take-out here for years. But they just redid the decor with new tables, fresh paint, and nice new menus. All quite lovely. My husband ordered the Mongolian beef this time and said it was "off the hook!" We usually both get the kung pao which is consistently very good. We used to live in the San Gabriel valley and Lee's is the only place we've found here with really good Chinese food. read more

In Southern California no town is without its ample share of Chinese food options. In Ventura, Lee's Chinese Food stands out for quality, flavorful and sizable sharing portions. Driving along Thompson Blvd, blink and you'll miss it, so don't blink. The dining in experience appears fairly ordinary even with some post pandemic upgrades. But as the saying goes, never judge a restaurant by its interior (unless of course you have to). With to go orders theres never been an issue. My orders are prepared quickly, correctly and at the proper temp. Lee's gets two chopsticks up from me. read more

Lee's Chinese has been here for as long as I've lived on this side of town and it's always been good Szechuan/Chinese food. My dad loved this place when he was alive and would order at least once a week for some Kung Pao Chicken or Moo Shu Chicken which was always tasty when he brought some home. Tonight I got Kung Pao Chicken and the Happy Family (5/6 different proteins with vegetables in a sauce) which came with steamed white rice. Both came with enough portions to feed two people each from one order of food. The food was hot, smelled great on the way home and tasted even better upon eating. It's been a long time since I've came back and after tonight, it makes me want to come back more often so that speaks well for a place. The dining room is usually always empty so I always order takeout but they package everything so nicely and the food comes in tight plastic boxed containers and the rice comes in the traditional chinese takeout boxes. They always include plastic forks, napkins, fortune cookies and soy sauce for every takeout order. Thanks again for serving tasty food to my family and Ventura over the years! read more

Good food good service not too expensively crazy good experience over all. Wish they see a bit busier

Food was fairly good. If you want to eat it, get takeout or have it delivered. The restaurant was not clean. booth seats were sticky. Window had handprints. The did not give us chopsticks or knives. The service was not good at all. We felt like we were intruding in the unkept home. The owners were taking up 3 tables. There were no other customers in the restaurant on a Friday night. The waiter was eating his dinner and then getting up to wait on us but never smiled or took away dirty dishes until we asked him to. We won't go back. We might order take out. we will have food delivered. read more

We just had the most delicious meal! I had Honey Walnut Shrimp which were crisp and flavorful. My husband had the Kung Pao chicken. Not overly spicy, chicken was still moist. Mushrooms were the secret surprise and he thought that was the best part of the dish. We also got the egg drop soup, which was outstanding. And the veggie egg rolls were outstanding as well. If you live in Midtown you should order from this place constantly. They deliver in a 3 mile radius. But if you don't live within that zone; GO THERE. read more

First time ordering from Lee's and the food is amazing! Delivery was on time and easy. Will be back

Love their egg soup and sesame chicken My whole family has been going here for years never disappoints us read more

I am so happy!!! (sing song voice) I found a great Chinese place, in Ventura, that delivers for a buck. Yes, you heard it, a buck. That is a deal. $20 minimum order. The flu thing and bronchitis thing was and still is going around. When that happens, I want War Won Ton soup, Kung Pao chicken, and Mu Shoo Pork. I do not feel like cooking when I am sick. I just want to rest and I want leftovers for days. Today, is my second day/week ordering from Lee's. My first order was my usual (described as above). I ordered fried rice as well. I tipped 10% $3.82 on my first order. Hubby insisted on picking it up. When hubby got home, I noticed that my fried rice was white rice. My Mu Shoo Pork only had 1 tiny Hoisin sauce. Aside from that, my food was delicious and flavorful. I was disappointed that I tipped nearly $4 for to go food that wasn't correct. I tried to call, but the line was busy. 1 week later, I am still sick. Hubby is at work. I decided to get delivery from Lee's. I ordered from the lunch menu. I ordered Kung Pao Combo-- Medium spice. It comes with your choice of rice, soup of the day, and an egg roll. Yum. I will sample my other dishes later. Everything is just as I ordered... this time. I noted that I wanted extra Hoisin sauce and ... I received it. My order of fried rice was indeed fried. My delivery appeared at my door in 45 minutes instead of the expected 1 hour. Dear Lee's Chinese Food, Thank you for providing yummy comfort food to this grateful person who doesn't feel 100% well. read more

Lee's Chinese Food - Szechuan Near Me - Ventura, California

love this place so much! the service is great and the food is amazing and fresh :) everytime we go, it's always a good experience

I like the orange chicken and rice with a soda for lunch. I enjoy having it as a meal

Excellent hot and sour soup. Their Imperial Shrimp is best in Ventura out of the other Chinese restaurants.

They're very kind and their food is very good! Sometimes Chinese can be pretty greasy but everything was balanced and tasted great.

So we asked the gentleman at the front who was taking orders, What's your specialty or whats the popular dish. He named like 20 different dishes I never heard of. Well he was wrong about saying everything is good. We should have known when the place was completely empty. So we went for the potstickers/dumplings and Chicken noodles and vegetables. I can't even explain how gross and nasty the potstickers were. I have never tasted filling this un palletable in my life. We both spit them out at the same time. The Chicken noodles and vegetables had us both on the toilet for 3 days. I would not recommend this place at all. Sad, there are no good Chinese food spots in exists anymore. But Lee's I will never go there again. read more

Loved the House Special Chow Mein! Service was great & order was ready in great timing! Can't go wrong with an authentic tasting foood, along with a nice ambiance walking in. Highly recommended! read more

Good food, only thing is that its not spicy even when I explicitly say extra extra extra spicy, the service is good and what you should expect over a good place to go for something decent read more

Walked in... walked right back out. Food sitting in the open in metal containers. Not very friendly staff. We were terrified to get sick.

Pleasantly surprised with this restaurant on Christmas Eve. We ordered online and when we got there only needed to wait a few minutes for our order. The food was hot and fresh and the portions were generous. We have looked for several years to find a decent Chinese restaurant, and even though this is at least a 20 min drive, we will definitely order from here again. read more

For "authentic" Chinese food, this will be my go to place after last nights dinner. It's funny because I see, Panda Ex used as a comparison a lot through the different reviews listed... And coming from someone who had Chinese food quite frequently growing up in the Bay Area, comparing Panda Ex and Lee's is like comparing apples to oranges- completely different ball games. Lee's is definitely more authentic, where as panda ex is corporate and Americanized (take that in anyway you like). Some may read this and say, that that's what they want then so be it and eat at Panda... But for that flavorful Chinese food, I'll be at Lee's. Unlike Panda Ex, Lee's delivers within 3 miles, total score! (With a min purchase of $20/ roughly 4 dishes-easy to do!) ***Last nights dindin menu: (refer to food pics and 'like' if necessary) Beef Fried Rice- 3.5 stars; idk if it was me, but some of the rice pieces tasted like it was cooked? But otherwise, great Togo size box full of big slices of beef. General Tso Chicken- 4.5 stars; flavorful and crispy with a combination of sweet and tangy! Honey walnut shrimp- 4.5 stars; crispy on the outside and just the right amount of sweetness on the inside. Yes, it consists of the candied walnuts in that sweet sauce. Remember: the general tso chicken comes with white rice. (6) fried chicken wings- 2.5 stars; no flavor, which sucks because they had a great crisp and crunch to them but just didn't have enough flavor. I would ask next time if they can sauté them in garlic and pepper to make them flavorful? Okay, so there ya go folks; a true review on Lee's. Don't be afraid to step out of the comfort zone...support local businesses ;) read more
