" How Lee has been my go-to place for Chinese food since I moved to Pittsburgh! The Szechuan dishes are genuinely authentic, and I appreciate the freshness in every bite. My favorite is the spicy beef noodle soup, which warms my soul. The staff can be busy, so I've experienced slower service at times. Overall, it's a charming restaurant that brings back fond memories. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was underwhelmed by How Lee despite the many excellent reviews. The food quality wasn't as high as I expected. Portions felt a bit small for the price, especially for Asian food. The service staff was friendly, but it seemed chaotic inside. I wanted to love it, but I came away feeling quite indifferent. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, How Lee has an edge when it comes to authentic Chinese flavors. My friends and I ordered several dishes for family-style sharing, and we were all pleasantly surprised by the quality. Each dish was served hot and packed with flavor, especially the spicy fish soup which left us all sweating but loving it! The service may be hit or miss, but the food is worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" An overall enjoyable experience at How Lee. The ambiance is unpretentious casual, and the portions are more than generous. I particularly loved the Szechuan pork dish that had a distinctive flavor profile. The service was appropriately attentive, but there were slight hiccups when we were trying to place our order. A solid recommendation from me. " (*Curated Review*)
