I would give 0 stars if I could figure out how. The food isn't good. Even if it was half the cost, I wouldn't recommend. The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting. Looks like the floors haven't ever been cleaned. The toilet seat looks like it hasn't been cleaned in quite sometime. Looks like the small bathroom trashcan has been used as a urinal, probably because the toilet is so dirty. They don't have seat protectors. No paper towels and a shotty hand dryer. DISGUSTING!! If the bathroom looks like this, I would hate to see what the kitchen looks like!! read more

This is the second time that I've eaten at Mr Lee's fried Chicken and, I've got to say it was even better than the first time. The first time I was with the fam. This time I came alone. And hungry. I recapitulate my claim that this is the best fried chicken bar none in the Bay area. Or whatever superlative you want, it's some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. I love not only that it's cooked fresh to order,  but that they brag about it on a big sign in front of the restaurant. The poultry arrives hot and saucy and steamy, smelling.... Mmmm. Snatch the thigh laying on top or go for one of the drumsticks sticking up from the bottom? That's your only dilemma now because it's time to eat. Inhale deeply and settle your thoughts. Mr. Lee fries chicken better than Mr. Sanders. No secret blend here. I'm sure he'll give you the recipe if you ask. Hot, saucy, sticky, messy, delicious goodness.  (Pro-tip: bring gloves and get ALL up it.) Scene: clutch the thigh. Admire. Dark golden brown exterior, crispy, golden brown, glistening, not oily. Sauced just enough with the perfect amount. (Or maybe you want it unsauced, they can do it). Are you still admiring? Eat already! Disregard the fork and knife and get primal.  This is a manual operation. Crunchy, crispy, saucy, piquant, sweet umami delicious and then the succulent meat underneath. The crunchy crust gives way to the soft, hot meat. Juices squirt and run. You just burned your mouth a little bit; it's the price you pay. There's so much craggly crispy crunchy goodness to bite through, and you haven't even gotten to the meat yet. The meat is perfectly seasoned and umami. You get that skin and that juicy liquefied fat that is under the skin. And the meat is perfectly cooked through and through. Super juicy, and oozing and running down your chin. There pieces stay crunchy, well to the meal and even a couple hours after. I'm all about the dark meat so I got the thighs and drumsticks. I wouldn't mind eating some wings but they seem to come with the white meat. So I ordered the four piece dark meats with the Mr. Lee's Chicken special sauce option. It's mildly piquant but not too spicy. Enough for the tingle and still cool enough to mingle. And then there are rings of fried jalapeño chile for those who want an extra spicy punch. (Way past tingle, feels like your face has shingles) The Yangnyum seems like an intersting sauce option which I'll probably forget to try because I tend to stick to what I know and like. The pickled onions, BTW are a nice touch. Even with all that chicken, I wanted some sides.  Seafood combo fried rice was unavailable the time so went with chicken fried rice. Rice was... meh. The corn kernels in there reminded me of frozen veggies and it just wasn't a hit... In any case I thought I would take it home for leftovers or for lunch at work the next day.  I also ordered onion rings came with like a ranch-ish dipping sauce thing. Crunchy and delish. Incidentally, it does take quite a long time to get your chicken. Since, as I mentioned, they cook it to order. So bring a lot of activities in the activity book for the kids or even better if you're on a date night or out on maybe second date with that special someone, the long wait time is going to give you a good chance to converse and play footsies and make promises you'll subsequently break. If you play pool, they have a couple pool tables and it looks like it could be a fun place to go with a small hungry crowd. Be nice to do a work party here. They sell beers and soju in tall bottles and frosty glasses. Get some apps, a few bottles of libations and start pouring drinks. You'll just be getting a nice buzz on when that chicken comes hot and steamy and crunchy and you'll have the drunk munchies. The last thing I'll say today about this place is I believe it's run by the proprietors, the owners, los doños. A husband and wife team? I don't know how often you see this, especially around here. It seems that their commitment and shows through in the quality and technically skill required for this food. Artisan craftsmanship that translates into quality. They want it done right so they do it themselves. It seems like very hard work and I commend them. I enjoy eating here and will come again. read more

Chicken was crispy and fresh, sauce was light/savory/slightly spicy/sweet and coated the chicken without making it soggy. By far the best Korean fried chicken I've had in the area. Went twice in a week. 10/10 would recommend. read more

This place exists in a reimagined Burger King in the old Park and Shop Plaza. They have done a nice job of work ing with what they have. Service. It really is a quasi order at counter although we did order with the app and got table service. Nice folks. The chicken itself is 5 stars. They make to order so expect to wait a bit for it but it is nice and crispy. We had the garlic and the honey. One order is good for 2-3 people. They have imaginative sides. We had the sweet potato noodles and kim chi rice. Make sure you try some. Go please. read more

One of the best fried chicken i 've ever had, very juice inside & crispy outside. The dipping sauce was also great. Plus the salad was even more delicious. I however didn't like the barcode scanning to order the food. The service was quick. The place ks spacious & even saw some pools. Would be a nice place to hangout with friends in the evening. read more

Super excited to try this place! They have special combinations listed on the board for afternoon times (sorta like a happy hour). We ordered the whole chicken combo but didn't get what was listed on the board. The chicken itself was crunchy and good. The sides were not as published on the sign. We didn't get any cheese corn. We got chicken fried rice that was so dry and the rice didn't taste fresh. The portion was small as well. The fries was a combo of onion rings, sweet potato, and regular fries. The girl had told us it was just normal fries and nothing combo about it. There seems to be a misunderstanding or miscommunication about what's in the combos among the person working up front, and the board not accurately stating what you get. Overall, I'd probably just prefer their fried chicken which was crispy and tender. The sides need some improvement. read more

Best Korean fried chicken in the east bay period. We have ordered from here multiple times and it never disappoints. The chicken is crispy, juicy, and very well flavored. I love Mr. Lee's chicken flavor. Be prepared for a sticky, messy, delicious mess of a meal. So worth it. read more

Food was good but they got the order wrong. I ordered a whole fried chicken and then, garlic boneless chicken. I received half a chicken and some fried chicken pieces. We drove home and found out the order was incorrect. We live too far to just drive back. Very disappointed. read more

Hands down, the best Korean fried chicken in the east bay! We love the "spicy" & "Mr Lee" flavors. The spicy seafood ramen was also a favorite of mine, but is unfortunately no longer on the menu. Please bring it back Mr. Lee!! read more

Came here about two months ago and ordered two orders of "whole" chickens. When we came home and opened them to eat, the chicken was all over the place. I'm Korean and know what it's supposed to be. It should be one entire chicken, but instead, it felt like some leftover pieces fried up and served, and a bunch of "boneless" pieces. Never going back. read more

Not happy with "ZERO" service. Only time I saw the waiter was when it was time to pay and he wanted a tip.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed our fave Korean fried chicken place before. We come here probably more times than we should for not living in the area. Huge open space with plentiful parking, we've never had a problem with getting a seat here although it should be more frequented because their food is so dang good. Their prices are a bit high, but you get a quality product here. Many a time I've spent less on other places and have been disappointed and wasted calories so, I'll pay more to be completely satisfied here. Super crispy, dare I say the word moist, not oily, succulent chicken in flavorful sauces! We've tried 4 of their flavors and their Yangyum (wet sweet and sour) and garlic parmesan (dry rub) are our go tos. Love their chicken, the pickled radish, their fried rice, their fries and loved loved their kimchi pancake, but they don't have that one anymore! Put in cry emoji here. It won't stop me from coming back for their chicken. Add in an order of white rice to enjoy with their chicken and I'm a happy camper. I was introduced to their creamy milk soda, Milkis. Perfect accompanying beverage with their fried chicken. Money well spent everytime. read more

Ok, so no pictures because we literally killed our chicken within seconds. First off, if you have never ever been to a Korean restaurant where they're specialty is chicken, than come with an open mind for taste and price. I came here with my coworkers to pick up our order and we were upset that we didn't know the inside of this location was honestly a 'kick it' spot in hiding. My coworkers ordered a 20 piece wings and then my husband ordered us another 20 piece because when he came here with his 4 coworkers and they said it wasn't enough for them - LOL! We also got their cheese fries, corn cheese and spicy rice cakes. We honestly enjoyed the heck out of the chicken wings. When we got back to our work, they were still crunchy and the flavors were there. If you're looking for wing stop flavors, this isn't the place to be - LOL. They honestly know how to cook chicken and I will be bringing people here on a weekend to enjoy their chicken and drink their beer. If we're talking price, I can't really say if its fair only because the price here and Pollo Pollo are a few bucks a part. Other than that, I do think they need to work on bettering their sides, but the chicken is A1! read more

We've ordered Mr. Lee Fried Chicken 4 times within the past 6 months. We dined in once, and the rest was take-out. The Korean fried chicken is perfectly fried and perfectly seasoned. The chicken always tastes fresh. The service is always professional. Everything meets our expectations each time. They even pack the chicken with special care so it doesnt get soggy for take out! We always get the half drumsticks and half thighs bc we love dark meat. We always get the Mr. Lee sauce and Yangyum sauce. (Pay extra for an additional sauce.) One is sweet, and one is sweet and spicy There is only ONE location in the Park and Shop center. We always order on Door Dash and pickup. Fresh, Convenient and consistent. We believe that it's the BEST Korean fried chicken in the area read more

Korean fried chicken is one of my favorite foods so i was very disappointed with Mr Lee's chicken. It seemed like they were understaffed, i've only interacted with one worker that was taking orders at the register while cleaning tables and bringing food out to people. It took us well over 30 mins just to get water and another 20 for our actual food. They also didn't provide us utensils or napkins, i had to get it myself. I had the Parmesan and Mr Lee Boneless Chicken, it was dense and lacked any flavor. The cheese ramen was disappointing, it was just "at home" ramen with a kraft single on top. A long wait with disappointing food, buying buldak and fast food chicken would've been a better dinner! read more

Our first time here and the recommendation to try this place for our Korean fried chicken craving was spot on! The 20 pieces of fried chicken wings were all good and spicy. The kimchi fried rice and corn cheese were also delicious. We came for an early dinner around 5:30pm and it wasn't busy, so service was fine. What we really liked was the 2 pool tables and the tvs in a small separate space to add to the chill, relaxed ambiance. Definitely will be back to eat other items. read more

The Mr Lee chicken flavor is the best flavor here! Whether it's bone in or boneless, the taste is popping with so many flavors! The sauce that comes with it is the best part! The second flavor we tried was the garlic and that flavor had hints of honey in it that added a good sweetness to the wings! We also got the kimchi fried rice that has the perfect spice and the long seaweed to mix it all together with an egg! Will definitely be coming back here and is a concord staple! read more

I love this place. I'm worried because it's often empty and I really want it to stay! It's clean and has a pool table that can be rented by the half hour. Music is upbeat and creates a youthful vibe. I've gotten nearly all the flavors on either wings or whole/half chickens. All are wonderful but I especially love the garlic and yang yum flavors. The chicken is crisp, hot and made to order. Kimchi fried rice comes with a perfectly crispy fried egg with runny yolk. Tempura shrimp are crunchy and lightly greasy goodness. I wasn't really too fond of the cheese corn because the kernels were a little tough, tasted like canned. Every single other thing, including pickled radish, jalapeños and dipping sauces are fresh and well-prepared. Service is slower but to be expected since they make food to order. It's worth the wait! Employees are friendly and attentive. Overall, this place is definitely a hit. Please go so we can keep i read more

Excellent chicken. Incredible fries. Great service. I've been desperate for good fried chicken and this was it.

Not as good this time around. I got a half fried chicken order. The online ordering system didn't work as intended. Somewhat difficult to navigate. I got my order that smelled good and had good flavor sometimes, but majority was a little dry or old, it seemed. Some wings reminded me of Safeway or some other chain. So, lacking consistency here. Still edible, but not a good visit overall. Today, the parking was busy. Haven't seen it busy there but haven't been at night. They have pool tables! I went here a few other times and I decided that I would only order chicken from here. Not sure if I want to venture into the other foods. The garlic rice, kimchi rice, japchae weren't that great in the past. read more

Mr Lee Chicken - Chicken wings & drumsticks with garlic fried rice and radish - Chicken Wings Near Me - Concord, California

This review is only for the chicken and that's all you should get! I'm always driving past Mr Lee's since there are a lot of great Asian food options in this shopping center. First impression was not great because there was only one other table dining. Pro: staff was friendly, professional and attentive. We ordered the spicy flavor and garlic flavor. Juicy AF chicken! Spicy was everyone's favorite. The skin is perfectly crispy and not overly battered. The flavors were robust and tasty; I can't wait to try the other flavors on the menu. Skip the sides because it does not add to the experience and for jalapeños because they have it. Pickled Korean veggies are such a great palette cleanser. It's the ginger to my wasabi! Today, I air fried my leftover chicken and it was just as scrumptious. I'll be back for more spicy chicken! read more

Watched a Giants game here while having some chicken. Portions are good sized and sauces were delicious. I never really understood the name though. Is his name "Lee Chicken" and he sells chicken or is it "Lee's chicken" and they forgot the "s"? Nice place to sit and watch a ball game, have a beer and chicken. read more

Mr Lee Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Concord, California

Fried chicken and pizza are my family's quintessential food choices for the super bowl. We usually order wings from wingstop or Korean Fried Chicken(KFC) from local chains but we decided to try something different. To our pleasant surprise, everyone agreed that Mr. Lee's has the best KFC in the Bay! What we ordered... Garlic Chicken: Coated in a honey garlic sauce with a savory yet sweet taste and is a bit sticky. You'll need hand wipes! The majority consensus AKA my mom, sister and boyfriend stated they all loved this one. Fried Chicken: Classic crispy fried chicken, not greasy and perfectly crunchy. My dad's favorite. Yang Nyum Chicken: Tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce. My personal favorite. I ordered online for pickup and it took about half an hour to be ready. I went to the counter and was able to just pick up my order since I prepaid online. The staff was super friendly! The inside was very spacious and clean. There is a sports bar section with large flat screens and a regular dining section. I definitely want to come back and dine in because the space looks so fun and inviting! I used to frequent Korean Fried Chicken chains but am so glad to have discovered this mom and pop shop in Concord. This will be my new go to spot anytime I'm craving fried chicken or when there's a game! read more

OMGGG LOVE THISSSSS. Also their open until really late so that great too and love them and very friendly too

Oh. My. Gosh. This place is so so good!! 100% my new wing spot. The chicken wings were juicy and crunchy and the flavor.. SOO GOOD I would give a 5 star but I wasn't that big of a fan of the kimchi fried rice. The rice itself was cooked well it just lacked a lot of flavor, it's spicy but with no flavor if that makes sense? Lol. Overall I really enjoyed my experience. (Lemon pepper was my favorite) read more

I am so glad I finally tried this place. My friend had been telling me that their fried chicken was the best, but nothing could've prepared me for this experience. Ordering was easy, and the cashier was knowledgeable and helpful. I tried the jalapeño chicken and the Mr. Lee Chicken - wings only. The jalapeño chicken was good, but the Mr. Lee Chicken was amazing!! They only fry their chicken once, so it's super juicy. And neither was too spicy, so I was able to eat til I was full without worrying about spice overload. The cashier also came out and checked on us while we were eating to make sure we were enjoying our food, which was a very nice gesture - especially at a place that's doing counter service. Even the plating of the food showed thoughtfulness in the preparation and making sure we'd enjoy it as much as possible. If you like fried chicken, especially Korean Fried Chicken, this is THE place! You won't regret it, and you'll have a hard time going anywhere else afterward! read more

Atmosphere: versatile! family-friendly, wide open space for dine-in. But also bar seating with big screens airing sports and American Ninja Warrior Menu: simple menu, mostly different flavors for their chicken and some common Korean sides Flavors I love: - Yang Nyum - really like that I feel like I'm eating actual chicken instead of eating & paying for sauce - jalapeño- exactly what the name says. Not some pre-labeled out of bottle jalapeño seasoning powder. There is real jalapeño on your chicken and a glaze that definitely carries a kick. - Mr Lee Special - this one takes the cake for me. There's simply no one else that has the unique flavors here, it's savory, spicy, and just simply deliciously addicting * I also like how you can just specify what part of the chicken you want, and they can personalize your order for you I have not tried their rice cake or fried rice, soo cannot speak to that. A must-try if you like fried chicken!! read more

Watching the Korean Drama "Crash Landing" left me craving for Korean fried chicken and tteokbokki. Thank goodness for Mr. Yelp, we found Mr. Lee Chicken in Concord. And off we go to try their sunglasses accessorized chicken (the restaurant's logo, I think. :P ). We got Spicy fried chicken wings and Yang Num fried chicken wings and of course, the yummy Ddukbokki (another name for Tteokbokki) to go. Honestly, this is my first time trying the Ddukbokki (I have been salivating for this since the first episode). And it did NOT disappoint. It's soooo good. The rice cake and fish cake was so chewy good and the sauce is a fusion of sweet and spicy with a hint of cumin (I think). Okay, that's the only thing that threw me off, other than that, it's sooooo delicious! The fried chicken... is sooooooo crispy, juicy and on point on the taste. We will definitely come back for another round. Yummmm! read more
