I absolutely LOVE this place. As everyone says, their eggrolls are amazing!! I crave them! The Kung Pao Chicken is delicious with the perfect amount of hotness and a lot of chicken to vegetable ratio. The Mongolian Beef is wonderful and I adore the Beef and Broccoli. The egg drop soup is good as well. I usually go when I'm with my Dad since its in his neighborhood and we both adore it. Since I'm about 15 minutes away I'm not in their delivery zone, I offered to pay $5 more and tip the driver well so they would deliver and it was worth it that night but normally I'll be picking up. This is my definite go to Chinese place and don't need to go anywhere else! read more

I order from Lee's because it's convenient and generally pretty good. Delivery is always fast and the people answering the phone are very polite. I even got a pretty Chinese New Year calendar with one of my orders! The only complaint I have is regarding their delivery guy. He's never pleasant, hardly even thanks you for a tip (and I tip well) and just isn't a friendly person. read more

This is our second favorite Chinese takeout place. Heard of the "whore/Madonna" complex? Lee's is the "whore" to Friendship Chinese's "Madonna." While Friendship's food is delicate, Lee's satisfies our base, primal urges for greasy Chinese food. Fried rice, crab rangoon, and pot stickers are quite good. The menu selections are huge! There are noodles, vegetables, and meat options of all shapes and sizes. read more

Went here for dinner one night on the review of an employee, Curtis, who I was working with down the street. The place had a sub - par look and feel, and at that moment the place was dead. I was not expecting too much and was questioning the recommendation. But the owner and his family were so great to me. He came down and sat with me after I got my food. He told me the perfect way to eat the egg roll (with sweet and sour sauce and some other details), and had a general conversation with me. It was very nice of him. And by the way the food was great! And cheap too. The quality of the food was way above the price. Homemade, quality chinese food. Please give this a try in the area! read more

AVOID THE COOKIES. Otherwise we had a good meal at Lee's Chop Suey and it was only $15 for two people. As everyone else has said, their potstickers are delicious and top quality. I was amazed at their construction and how tightly the wonton was wrapped up around the delicious meat inside. We also shared an order of Kung Pao chicken and I am so glad we did because a single order was ENORMOUS. Tasty and fresh, we really enjoyed our main dish. The kid who was our waiter was attentive with the water and more rice, and the owner/manager was also friendly and helpful. Now the decor is total old school wood paneling and feels like you are in somebody's basement den ready to listen to some old Led Zeppelin records. So it's April and there are still Valentine's Day decorations as well as... is that Christmas tinsel? It has that hole in the wall charm, if you're into that sort of thing. Word of advice, stick with the packaged fortune cookies and avoid the large almond cookies they bring to you. They are not good and probably came out of some box they've had since the 1970s. read more

Is this the best most authentic freshest Chinese food in the world? No. But is it delicious and exactly what you need when you're having a Chinese food craving? Yes. Big fan. Highly recommend the Crab Rangoon, Szechuan Chicken, and Sesame Chicken. Yum. Order for delivery or pickup though - the place itself (if going there in person) has kinda a strange decor and vibe (and most people are usually doing delivery/pickup). read more

I stopped to gas up at the corner station on my way home and noticed Lee's Chop Suey ahead of me and went in. Ordered some take out... The food was good! No complaints but, the interior of the restaurant needs a good cleaning...Visible dirt and dust in the corners. I sure hope the kitchen wasn't a sanitation disaster! read more

What they say about the egg rolls on here is true: they're amazing. ORDER SOME! As for everything else, we ordered the "dinner for two", which had crab rangoon, shrimp fried rice, and sweet n' sour chicken as well. Everything was delectable. In fact, we pretty much inhaled it all, it was THAT tasty! The highlight (besides their heavenly egg rolls!) was the shrimp fried rice. Their shrimp is plumper than the usual shrimp found in Asian take-out and is a definite re-order . Only gripe is the length of time it took for delivery. An hour! Ah, but well worth the wait....no question. read more

Ordered takeout from here 20 minutes before they closed on Thursday (around midnight). It was a no-frills delicious, greasy grub option. We got the dumplings, fried rice and some egg rolls. My dumplings were GIGANTIC - about 8 in the box even though the menu supposedly says six. They more than satisfied. I agree with other Yelpers in that they're just a little too doughy, but overall they taste great. The doughiness wouldn't stop me from ordering. The egg rolls tasted like they were stuffed with pad Thai, which was interesting (mostly because of the peanut taste). I didn't finish mine but I felt really full already because of the dumplings. It wasn't super cheap but hey, for late night Chinese, how much better can you get? Yum! read more

Always on the look out for tasty Chinese, this is it! We used to order from "this place and that place" and hadn't found anything worth writing about until Lee's! My mother raved about this restaurant. She has always been nostalgic about traditional, old-fashioned Chinese "joints" and claims this is what she grew up considering as Chinese food. Cantonese. We've ordered about a dozen times so far and have not ever been disappointed! When we're jonesing for Chinese food this has hit the spot! Their fried rice, noodle dishes, fried chicken wings, and free egg rolls (with $15 purchase!) are the family favorites. read more

I gave this three stars only because the food was cheap and it arrived (got it delivered) really fast. The customer service was good, and everything was where it was supposed to be and averagely portioned. As far as the taste, the sweet and sour was not for me. The sauce was not separated from the chicken. So, for me, there was too much sauce. There was very little chicken and way too much rice, I assume to compensate. The fried rice was fine as was the chicken itself. The egg drop soup was really bad. The egg roll wasn't much better. I would definitely recommend trying some place else if you're looking for quality over price/portions. read more

Just tried to make an order (using the Postmates app). We ordered 3 of the dinner specials. When the driver attempted to pickup our food, the lady from the restaurant called and abruptly said that they we could not order the special. I asked her "why not", her response was because today is New Year's Day. I failed to see the connection, so I asked for further explanation. She then said that nobody offers specials on new year's (huh?) and that they could not take our order. She said everything had to be ordered separately. Her attitude was very short and rude. I then said that I need to cancel my order. Then she abruptly handed the phone to the Postmates delivery driver, with no further words. Again, just pretty rude. Apparently they take and accept dinner special orders on any other day except for today. Seems like a pretty blatant attempt of price-gouging and taking advantage of people. Wack! read more

I've only ordered takeout but judging by takeout alone, it's fantastic. Excellent wonton soup. Great moo shoo and great lo mein. If you order at night be sure to check out the dinner specials which include an egg roll. I actually didn't care for the egg roll (which is unusual) but it's nice that it comes with the special. YUM! read more

The potstickers are my definition of a perfect potsticker. They are full of filling, a little doughy, fried crisp on one side and come with the soy sauce/vinegar/green onion dipping sauce. Everything else was kinda "meh". The orange chicken is too heavily breaded and the sauce is too sweet. The crab rangoon are also very heavily breaded and stuffed with cheese, but have virtually no "crab" to be detected. I really prefer the lighter Thai-style crab rangoons and I wish more Chinese places would get on board with this. They do deliver late night and delivery was super fast. I used to order from here often when I lived in Logan Square because their fried rice was awesome. However, this was over 6 years ago. I don't see myself calling them again anytime soon, unless I get another late night potsticker craving. read more

Searching for a new go-to Chinese spot, I was led to Lee's upon good reviews. I have to now wonder if they were paid to say such nice things. The egg rolls were surprisingly large and not greasy, but lacked in any sort of flavor besides peanut. The white rice that came with the Orange Chicken I ordered was over cooked and looked more like sushi rice by texture. And the chicken........ seemed like they drowned it in a flavorless sauce and threw in a piece of broccoli as garnish. Only redeemable quality was the late night delivery. Pass on this place and go elsewhere - I know I am. read more

This is best Chinese food in the area and best Chinese I've been to in a really long time. Not only was the food amazing but it did not take very long at all and a very reasonable price. They were very help and nice. Definitely glad I found this place and will be going a lot more often! read more

I can't explain why I gave a star perhaps it's because I only live a half a mile away and the food was hot but other than that the orange chicken was too sweet and the rice was dry and hard. Surely not worth the $17 I dished out!! read more

I'm so upset to be giving this rating right now I grew up coming here I even used to know the owners and from what I understand it has been passed down through the family keeping the same great food I always remembered! Well tonight as excited I was to come eat here with my friend and our kids it was a long ride for us so the kids had to use the bathroom really bad only to be told both where out of order and they had no other way for customers to use the bathroom it wasn't so much the fact it was out of order but the manner in which they treated us so rude I can't believe this so of course we walked out and where welcomed to the golden nugget across the street read more

I usually opt for some Thai food when I'm in the mood for something different, but after my recent order to Lee's Chop Suey, I might mix in some Chinese to the mix =) Pretty hearty servings, but I'd recommend large sizes if it's meant for two bigger eaters. The egg rolls were great. The Mongolian beef, though, was the highlight of the order. I'd highly recommend it. read more

Mmmmmm! Lee's Chop Suey! I love you so. Yes, I agree it's outdated, but you get that old feel of a family restaurant when dining in. It's BYOB what more do you want? My sister actually once got a private tour of the kitchen and it is very clean. I love this. The food is fresh and they have lunch/dinner deals. Portions are big so you can save for a later meal and they even make a bunch of smoothies. My favorite is the Oolong tea they serve and the chicken rice soup with white pepper and sirracha sauce when you have a cold. We've made it a family tradition to order Chinese food on New Years Eve and this has always been our go to place. Lee's is definitely in my top 5 Chinese restaurants in Chicago. read more

I love this place! One of the hardest parts of moving from Michigan was leaving my favorite Chinese spot with the best Almond Boneless Chicken. I was looking everywhere for somewhere in the city that serves it, and so far this is the only spot I've found. Thankfully it's delicious too! read more

I love the food here. Never had an issue with my order. The lady is very sweet and remembers me. The food is good. I can't complain! I recommend this place for sure. Thumbs up! read more

They're open super late!!! And they're as delicious as it comes. So glad we finally ordered take out from here after driving past so many times. The lo mein is delicious, and made with the right kind of thick noodles (surprisingly hard to find in some of the other restaurants). read more

Always our go-to Chinese restaurant for take-out. Great portions and price. Has never disappointed us. Always tames the crave.

This is the only Chinese delivery I get. Have tried several other places in the area-but they sucked. I have never been an egg roll fan but I am now- only Lee's!! They are big and tasty!!!! Everything we have tried has been good, but I stick to the Cantonese style chicken chow mein, and the large is enough for 2 meals. The kung pao beef and beef and broccoli are also pretty good. I have never been in the restaurant, and after reading the reviews- I think I will stick with delivery, which is usually pretty quick. read more

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I found my chinese place. i love there Beef fried rice ( I typically get it spicy) its is sooo tasty, even there egg drop soup is great there Pork chop suey is great too Im so happy i've discovered them !!!! GO EAT HERE!!!!!!! read more

I downloaded this app just for this review. I order through Grub Hub like I always do, and normally this place is amazing. Tonight I received burnt egg foo young, burnt teriyaki sticks, and burnt shrimp fried rice. The store refuses to redeliver, because they claim these are a deep fried dish. Mind you I order the same damn thing every time. Grub Hub is no help tonight. So I'm stuck with burnt food from Lee's. I will NEVER order here again. I advise you to do the same. read more

See all

Best Egg Rolls around. Homemade potstickers. Great food, friendly family owned place. The interior needs an update so I order for pick up from here. The cost is reasonable for the quality of the food. I never have been disappointed with them getting the order wrong and everything is always piping hot. When I am being cheap and want Chinese food I order for delivery from a different place. & I usually regret it because I know that I could of had food that taste better if I would of ordered from Lee's. read more

This place is awesome. I've never regretted anything I've ordered. Since I live a couple blocks away it is my go-to Chinese food take out.

Really old place. I remember this place from like 25 years ago. Its a good take-out place. Its really "old chinese restaurant" inside. Reminds me of that restaurant from Big Trouble in Little China. The staff is very welcoming. Get the poststickers. Ive never had better ones. I mean.. there are no words for these things. I have no idea how they do it.. AWESOME. Only 4 stars because I think its a little too expensive..yet.. I still get the potstickers about once a week lol. O.. and the portions on the main dishes are huge.. so..it could possibly be 2 meals. read more

mmm...it was ok. I don't know that I'd order from them again. I've had better but I've also had a lot worse, and with Chinese it's always a crapshoot. At least it's well priced and big portions. I had the egg rolls - golden crispy good outside but goopy and unidentifiable on the inside. Beef with pea pods - too salty, but otherwise ok. And the chicken subgum lomein which I thought was really good - real chicken breast, flavorful, lots of veggies. Delivery was right on time. read more

We ordered from here tonight via Living Social Takeout/Delivery service. It got here in about 35 minutes. The crab rangoon was decent, but a little heavy on the cream cheese and a little large in shape. My husband had the curry chicken with onion. He thought it was really flavorful and liked that it was simple, just chicken and onion. Overall one of the better curry chicken dishes he's had and would order this again. I had the sweet and sour chicken. I liked that you had an option to get a small or large portion. The small was a great sized portion for me. The chicken, rice and sauce were all packaged separately which was nice. The chicken was lightly breaded and good sized. The sauce was a flavorful sweet and sour. I liked that there was a good amount of pineapple in the sauce. I would order this again. read more

Lee's has redeemed themselves from a bad experience last time. Delivery was SUPER quick, food was great. The egg rolls were fantastic. read more

Gross. Gross. Gross. My boyfriend and I ate in the restaurant for dinner. The place is super-outdated, but that sort of aesthetic stuff doesn't usually bother me. Many a delicious dish has come out of a swanky-looking location. When we got there (at maybe 7 PM?) we were the only ones in the place. It was a weeknight, but still. The only ones? Eep. We got the Mongolian chicken and Szechwan chicken. They both tasted pretty much the same except one had vegetables and one didn't. Very little flavor in the brown sort of gelatinous-looking sauce. Sure, the portions are large, but I really didn't want to eat it again later. Also, it was kind of pricey for dinner (around $11 per entree), especially an unsatisfying one. Blech. read more

The General Tso's chicken was pretty good - i'd say 7/10 rating. The chicken fried rice was not good (chicken was very dry and rice tasted bland) - i'd say 2.5/10 rating. The crab rangoon was really good - i'd say 8/10 rating. read more

Lee's is my absolute favorite spot for Chinese food. The sweet and sour sauce is amazing,! Usually it is that neon red jelly like substance which is so gross...I'm not sure when that faze started. This place reminds me of the original Jeannie's on Belmont before Jeannie retired. The egg rolls are mouth watering so are the crab rangoons, egg drop soup, chow mein, egg foo young, fried rice, shrimp and lobster sauce, and so much more. I've had delivery and dine in and both will give you great service. I know the restaurant looks a little shady but it's not, my husband was a little skeptical when took him there before a movie but he appreciated the food. My only disappointment with Lee's are the prices, I think they are quite expensive but I still order because the foods fantastic. read more

The potstickers were delicious! Plenty of meat inside and cooked perfectly. The wonton soup was outstanding as well! Full of flavor!

This place is amazing!!! potstickers are freshly made from scratch and beyond delicious. The sauce for the potstickers is also made there from scratch. Mr/Mrs Lee are both really friendly and after your second visit, there's a 90% chance they'll remember your dish. People that judge a book by its cover make me laugh. You can go to a super fancy place in downtown for some food & have the best decorations/furniture in town. At the end of the day those fancy yuppie places are horrible in food. Mr Lee's place Is awesome & delicious. read more

Lee's Chop Suey - The best potstickers in Chicago! - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great old-school Chinese-American food, the BEST egg rolls ever (huge, great with the orange sauce), huge portions (be ready for left-overs)

This review is strictly for take out and delivery, never eaten in. I've ordered Lee's for years and after trying 10+ Chinese delivery places in Chicago this has to be the hands down best Chinese take out delivery I can find. It is fairly Americanized but man the general tso's chicken, pot stickers, Cantonese pan fried noodles, and the crab Rangoon's are amazing and you can't go wrong. If those aren't your fancy the beef and broccoli or egg foo young is top notch as well. The place is kind of ancient in side but hey that's why I'm talking take out and the place has been around for ages but when you need rich delicious and filling Chinese food this is the place, they stuff their crab Rangoon amazingly full! If you're on the fence consider picking up some Chinese today! read more
