My family and I visit infrequently and have gotten to know some of the people working there. Very nice staff and great food at a reasonable price. Family friendly restaurant and typically fast service. It's not the absolute best Chinese food I have ever had but it is very good and very tasty! read more

Food was good, customer service even better. From the moment we walked in, the service was welcoming. We would return.

Absolutely great, personalized service. Good food, good pricing, this is one great place to relax after a weeks hard work and enjoy a meal in a good family environment. BTW, did I say the food is really good! read more

Uncle Lees never disappoints! Sizzling Rice soup is a specialty of the house and it really sizzles! The salt and pepper fried tofu was crunchy with a creamy delicious center and even my non tofu loving guest liked it. Something for everyone and Uncle Lee and Amy were as gracious and kind as could be! read more

"Ok" sums it up. The decor is dated with vinyl booths for miles. The service is friendly and attentive. The food and drinks are expensive and not a good value. The dishes are heavy-laden with sauce, often very salty, and the portions can be meager. However, some of the dishes can be good and I've yet to become ill after eating here. I've dined in twice and gotten take out once. I'm done. read more

We have been going to Uncle Lee's (previously China Village) for over 25 years. The food is always wonderful. The owner Amy and the staff are friendly and attentive. They make you feel like a part of the family. Always a wonderful experience!! read more

I give China Village 5 stars. I have been going there for years with our family, and its wonderful. The food is always good They have the best crispy eggplant and to die for walnut prawns. Service is excellent always friendly. If Amy the owner is in, introduce yourself and the next time your there she will remember you. Give it a try and you wont be dissapointed read more

The sauce is nicely done with pungent flavor along with fresh seafood and eggplant - an absolutely must-have dish! read more

Uncle Lee’s Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Was in town for a couple days and had the General Tso's Chicken. Right amount of spice and the pieces were huge! The staff was extremely freindly. I would recommend it for a quick eat. read more

I was very happy with the quality of the food and the extremely nice and courteous host. The chow fun was quite good but I wish there were more green onions, more noodles, and, less broccoli. The hot and sour soup was tasty!! I have been coming here since it was called Toy Sun and will come again to try the lunch special. read more

China Village is a good Chinese restaurant primarily serving a Laurelhurst family crowd. CV is not going to blow you away with never before seen preparations. But if you want a broad selection of the hits of Chinese food in the US (Hot & Sour Soup, Mu Shu, Pot Stickers, Kung Pao, Lo Mein, etc., etc.) well prepared, with pleasant servers and hosts, and you don't mind running into half the neighborhood while you're there, then you are in the right place Full bar. Wine list. Above average decor; Beethoven Sonatas playing in the background. Enjoy. You can also order to go. read more

Decent. We had the almond chicken and the shredded garlic chicken - a bit greasy but food came out hot.

Just tried this place. The service was super friendly and helpful and the place has been recently refurbished so has very nice decor. Was pretty empty for a Saturday night. The food is very flavorful and fairly salty. The hot and sour soup was notably spicy and sour. The vegetables were fresh and cooked just perfectly if you don't like your vegetables to be mushy--some might think undercooked so if you do like your vegetables more cooked I'd tell the server. The cook recommended the Hunan scallops which were indeed delicious. read more

Delicious, went in for lunch today and tried the cashew chicken and pad thai lunch special, it was amazing! So fresh and flavorful with just the right balance of spiciness and sweetness, the pai thai is PERFECT, it is on the drier side which I LOVE and not overly sweet. As always the owners are amazing, Amy is such a sweet, genuine person, who always remembers my co-worker and I and comes and sits down and catches up with us when time allows. I got a special awesome extra for my birthday today. Try Amy's Lemon Drop, you'll be glad you did! Thanks Uncles Lee's, keep up the good work! I've change my mind and deleted an old review, I think this place is BETTER food-wise after the remodel, love it! read more

Best Chinese food, best service, great ambiance, and great wine selection combined with fabulous hosts.

First of all I want to say that we are originally from NYC where we have some pretty great Chinese food. We moved to Seattle about two years ago and really couldn't find any good Chinese food. I'm happy to say that our search is over. Uncle Lee's delivered on everything we had been longing for and then some. The food was fresh and very tasty and the service was really nice. They treated us like family and that really resonated. We had the general tso's chicken which was crispy and IMO perfect, as well as the chicken fried rice and lo mein which we're both excellent as well. Thank you Uncle Lee's for saving us from our Chinese food drought! read more

Very middle of the road in quality, very high in price. Wanton Soup was horrible, basically just dishwater and thick wanton wrappers. I imagine that the wantons started in a giant frozen bag. The Beef with Broccoli was pretty good. Also we tried the Sesame Chicken because everyone was raving about it...and it was okay... but not really worth raving about. The chicken I ate i drenched in rooster sauce and the dog got the rest. read more

Ordered a noodle dish and a meat (beef) dish - tasted ok. Portion was a bit small and a bit pricey. Charges each adult and child $1.25 for steam rice. Not good value. read more

Disappointed with the Kung Pao chicken. Sauce was very bland. Friendly staff, but the food was disappointing.

I am a very long-term customer but no longer, due to price gouging. Guess what? Chicken and vegetables costs $15? A cup of tea is $3. This is about double what I would ordinarily pay. The place, at peak Friday night hours, had very few customers. Tonight they lost me after 30 years. read more

First off, food is pretty good. However, portions are super small. And prices are way to expensive for what you get. Judy Foo's is comparable quality, less expensive and bigger portions. Service was good, but no tea offered. And fortune cookies were disgusting--really stale. read more

Good food (hot and sour soup, fried rice, moo shoo vegetable)... and welcoming great service. Will go back again for sure!

Love China Village. The owner is wonderful - always greets us by name and the food is very good. And I prefer it to any other Chinese restaurant - even in the ID. I know she uses good quality meats and veg. Highly recommend! read more

A business that has graced the Laurelhurst neighborhood for years AND we love it! Always friendly, full of locals, fast service. Amy & brother have recently re-vamped the place, and we are so happy that she has now re-opened. We eat there at least once -a- week, we have our favorites. Mike Rich, EMily M. Wilson, Garret & Laura Richwilson read more

I tried a Uncle Lees for the first time tonight. I snuck in at the last half hour to grab some takeout. I ordered the cashew chicken with two stars and some steamed rice. While I waited for my dinner order I look around at the nice clean and modernly appointed dining room. The staff was courteous and the service was extremely fast. Generous portion was absolutely delicious and the prices were quite reasonable. I will definitely come back and enjoy a meal in house next time! read more

Very good Chinese food is with us at Uncle Lee's. Party of six ordered five diverse Chinese dishes and loved it all. The service was so friendly and genuine. This the second time back since the remodel and I would say that everything food wise (selection and quality) that we loved about China Village is intact. And the remodel is an improvement to an already family friendly dining experience. More Chinese food selections have been added to the menu. read more

The owners are the main reason we like to eat here - they always recognize us, even if it's been months since we were in. It's like having comfort food with your family. The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 star rating is that they charge for each fountain drink they serve - no free refills. These are *little* glasses with lots of ice and they charge about $2.50 for each one. Having forgotten this policy (it had been a while since we were in) we were horrified to find we'd been charged almost $20 for about 32 oz. of cola. We'll still go back...but we'll stick to water and tea instead. read more

I've been to this restaurant once and will not be going back. I wanted to like this place because it's just down the street from my apartment, the service was great, and the ambience was nice, but the food was just not good. It appears that this place has a lot of regulars, esp. families. The staff seemed to know some of them and they were prompt in bringing our food and checked on us the right number of times. The place is well-kept and has touches of Chineese decor mixed with an American restaurant, making it farely pleasant. We ordered a noodle dish, sweet and sour pork, and general tsao's chicken, as these are our favorite Chineese dishes. I've had sweet and sour pork in MANY places and this ranked as some of the worst: the pork was cut in huge pieces that were hard to fit in my mouth and the coating on the pork was incredibly dry and crunchy so that it was hard and unappetizing to chew. The general tsao's chicken tasted nothing like general tsao's, just slightly sweet chicken with no other taste. The noodle dish might have been good if we hadn't ordered the "crunchy option" our waiter recommended. I wish he had specified that some people don't care for it that way. They did supply a lot water and tea refills though, two full pots, which was appreciated and kept me from being too unhappy about the rest of our meal. read more

My family loves China Village! We have been coming here for years because of the great food and friendly service! This is my favorite Chinese food place! I would recommend both for sit down and take out. read more

I don't know why this restaurant is getting so little love on YELP and the reviews included are of the precious establishment.. My wife and I had a lovely dinner of eggplant as well as the yellow curry chicken tonight and found wonderful staff, nice atmosphere and accessible parking. We also brought home seafood soup to our boy who found it very good and packed with squid. The menu was mostly Chinese but was varied without too many or too few options. We will be returning here to eat again. I encourage people to give this restaurant a try. read more

Been here about 7 or 8 times in the past year. Adorable and courteous owners who are great servers. Love having our free, fresh pot of tea and waters always refilled. Always quiet and calm here with soothing music. I come with my boyfriend to escape the loud, busy restaurants. The combination dinners are the best deal, so if you are not alone, it's cheapest for you to order that, because here everything is homestyle. Hot and sour soup here is fantaaastic. read more

Just had another fabulous family dinner at Uncle Lee's (formerly China Village). This is our go-to place for Chinese food (and now offering some Thai dishes). Love the walnut honey prawns, the salt and pepper tofu, and the beef and broccoli.. Service is very friendly, with personal attention from Amy. Prices may be a tad high, but the food is excellent. read more

A favorite since I was a kid! Sesame chicken is so good and the owner Amy always remembers you

I come here twice a month. This place has some of the best lo mein I have ever had. Heavy on the oil, but I kinda like that. It even beats the China Town restaurants (though thats not too hard to do). The servers are congenial, and the owner remembers everyones names who come in. She is quite gregarious. The bar is fun for a cozy drink. Clean tables. Fried rice is also great. Too bad the other reviewers did not have the same experience I had. Maybe they are owners of rival Chinese restaurants! ;) read more

We've been going to the China Village Restaurant as a family for years. It's our favorite Chinese restaurant. The service is A+. Even when we don't go for several months, they still remember what we order and who we are by first name, and the food is consistent so we always know what to expect. read more

Not the worst Chinese food I've ever had, but probably the worst I've had in Seattle. The salt and pepper tofu was the lone bright spot in a large meal: everything else was overcooked, underflavored, and cornstarched to high heaven. The rice had clearly been cooked many hours ago and left on the counter to dry out. Reminded me of the sort of food you'd get at the lone Chinese restaurant in a town in rural Florida. read more

Excellent friendly service. The food was really good too. Try their Sesame Chicken.

I agree with earlier reviewer. The food is bland and has no flavor. I have eaten great Chinese food elsewhere

This may be close by but it is not my choice for Chinese. The service is spotty and slow, the food cold and spiced with unknown. The food does not smell good and then the flavor is odd. Will not merit a return visit. read more

I have been coming here for 20 yrs and its still the same, good! The staff is friendly and as chinese resturants go, its not bad inside. The general tsos is great, Mongolian beef and sesame chicken are not bad either. Moo shu is good, noddles are ok not homemade. Ten ingredient lo mein and seafood chow fun are my favorites. This is American Chinese and a bit expensive, but its one of my favorites. read more
