My main recommendations are the soup dumplings, Taiwanese Gua Bao and the Garlic Japanese Eggplant. You definetly should grab a reservation for this restaurant. You can sometimes get lucky without one, but this is not an experience you want to miss! The ambiance is casual and the service is exceptional.

It took way too long for us to sit down and try this place. Unfortunately (or rather fortunately?)…read morethere are just too many places here in Milwaukee for a newbie to try. Had a bad day yesterday so today... Noodles! Not much can cure a case of the blues like a hot pile of steaming noodles. Ok, maybe some soup dumplings can top the noodles. On our way out to Seven Bridges for a quick walk outside, we stopped in here and fell in love. The 5 spice old fashioned and the apricot whisky sour were both phenomenal in their own unique ways. Then came the soup dumplings. Yum! Steaming hot and a project to eat properly, they are worth the efforts. We ordered the Tom Yum and spicy Korean noodles. The spice on the noodles was mild but it does build on your palette the longer that you eat. The beef was perfectly tender. The soup was wonderfully lemon-grassy and full of flavor. The ladies that sat next to us just ordered a table full of dumplings. I think that's my plan for next time. May it be soon.

The service was good. The food all tasted good. Honestly best sushi I have had in a long time. The restaurant is a little on the smaller side but even with how busy they were it wasn't too loud and I liked that they had the brewers game on that I could see from my seat.

While it accommodated us, our large party probably was a bit of a distraction for the other diners. Coincidently, during our visit, we ran into two families we knew from that area. Both raved about Tanpopo, and commented how they were regulars. After getting our food, it was easy to see why. Several people at our table had ramen, and one had the Pho. Everyone who had the ramen enjoyed it, but the person who had the Pho commented that the beef was a little bit tough. The rest of us shared several sushi rolls, and they were all amazing! The presentations were lovely, and everything was fresh with savory sauces and sides . They even brought out some matcha ice cream with a candle to help us celebrate our birthday boy. Kid chopsticks are available for purchase to use and take home, which definitely made our grandkids day! Service was fast and friendly, and the setting is a nice, casual spot to enjoy good Japanese food with family.

The salad with the yellow-colored dressing couldn't be explained except to say that it was "Japanese". The curry on the Chicken Curry Bowl was a very "hot" dish and I wouldn't order it again. The fried rice with chicken was almost flavorless unless you added a lot of Soy Sauce. The waitress needs more English language training on menu items or needs to bring in the owner to explain them. In general, the variety on the menu is interesting. The dishes just need more clarification for those who want to learn about oriental dishes.

The restaurant features a menu highlighting Mandarin influences, Thai, and Japanese, along with a sushi bar and hibachi tables. There's guaranteed to be something for everyone on this menu. We come for the sushi. They always have the freshest fish - Tuna, Salmon, Sea Urchin, Surf Clam, Eel, Sweet Shrimp, Abolone - you name it, they serve it. The sushi is available as sashimi style, maki roll, or there is a giant menu of different rolls and sauces to choose from. My wife loves the Sunshine Roll (tempura Lobster), and my daughter loves the plain tuna roll. I dig the Angry Spider Roll or a Volcano Roll. Crispy oysters are hearty, with a plum dipping sauce. I honestly haven't had anything I wouldn't try again! The sushi appetizer menu itself has a collection of unique presentations that have all been amazing! Before she braved the sushi my daughter often ordered off the menu, her choices ranging from chicken tempura to the Sesame Chicken or Lo mein, and always tasty with large portions. I was happy to finish later what she could not, lol. Service is good, sometimes the weekend nights get a little hectic but they make mean drinks! Get the Zombie rum mixer, it'll get ya there. My daughter always enjoys the Japanese soda they offer, nice little treat. Saki of course and Sapporo beer, there's not much you could ask for they don't have! Great place. Parking usually not an issue as much as navigating through the lot during peak periods for what it's worth.

I would give it 5 stars for what it is but I did feel the establishment needs a little TLC. But great job! I will be back.

Lees restaurant…read more 2024 Came back to try their pho at Lee Restaurant. Here goes nothing...actually good. I had the Regular large pho. Wow. The meat is cut like real pho too. I'm amazed. Still, not as good as pho from a Vietnamese owner. Still. Decent for Hmong owners. Give yourself an applause. Good job. A little on the salty side, so be careful not to add too much fish sauce, salt, or Hoisin sauce. Now is the hard part, can you keep this broth consistent? Can you keep using the same meat or will you go cheap? Only time will tell. For now, you make decent good pho. No wonder you have a large pho eating crowd! Nice. FYI, just because I'm Hmong does not make be bias. I have no connections to these Hmong workers or owners. My review is strictly from experience from eating PHO from all over the US. If you made my list, congratulations. If not, try again. Cons: The bowl is not stainless steel or ceramic. Ceramic holds heat better so the pho stays hot longer. Vietnamese owners have their pho come out piping hot. This cooks any raw meat in the bowl. The regular bowl lacks tripe, tendon, brisket but is still good. Wait.. the Pad Thai was terrible. Don't bother ordering that item. Highly recommended

A fellow yelper reached out to me years ago to tell me to check them out, Lisa X. The restaurant is in the back off Hmong Town and always full on the weekends with almost every table filled.

They also are a Chinese bbq style with hot tables filled with pork, chicken, sausage, egg rolls, stuffed wings etc. I got the combo pho which is fake crab, shrimp, beef and meat balls to go with a sausage that comes with a spicy dipping sauce. I like the pho because I think the broth has a depth of flavor which is delicious.

I completely agree that this isn't authentic chinese food, but approachable fusion that tries to keep it truthful to the flavors and presentation. The highlight of the meal was the peking duck, which they only have about 2 orders of a night. We snagged it immediately when we sat down and it can easily feed 4 people with the sides. The duck was juicy and cut into thick pieces, so it was more of a steak rather than a bao style that I am used to. Nevertheless, it was delicious and even warmed up well the next day. The green onion wraps were...strange in my opinion. They fell apart easily and didn't have the best flavor that complemented the duck. Overall, I would come back for the duck itself, but everything else was average or extra salty. Service was great and the staff are very attentive. Happy eating!
