" My family has been going to China Lee for years and have enjoyed many dishes. While some nights are better than others, we appreciate the drive-thru service and know what to expect with the food. Egg rolls are a must-have! Overall, I would say it’s a worthwhile spot if you’re seeking quick takeout. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience with their fried rice. My first try was good, but the next one was a bit bland and lacking flavor. The atmosphere isn't quite there as it's just a drive-thru, but they prepare my orders quickly. Hoping they’ll iron out the inconsistencies for future visits! " (*Curated Review*)

" China Lee has been our quick dinner option, and it’s handy for takeout on the go. While I do appreciate the quality of some dishes, I often find the chicken a bit too chewy; not quite what I expect. It's a shame because everything else has been lovely. Maybe next time will be better! " (*Curated Review*)

" There’s a reason this place has a loyal customer base! The food is snug from quality through to preparation. The chicken in the General Tso’s I ordered could’ve been juicier, though I found the sauce balancing perfectly with it. Plus, they really load your containers with portions too, which helps with value. Would recommend for fast takeout! " (*Curated Review*)

" Attended with my family and ordered a variety to try. The chicken fried rice was notably unordinary; darker than expected and oddly textured chicken. The others felt their meals were alright. I thought the service was adequate, and everyone was nice. I’d say it’s a combination of hits and misses, and that we might give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" The reviews said this place has great fried rice, but I was sadly let down. It tasted more like regular rice, rather than the rich flavorful fried rice I was expecting. The drive-thru was efficient and the staff were nice, but I find myself wishing for better food quality overall. Willing to be optimistic for next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a chance to try their egg rolls, and wow! Just the right amount of crunch and flavor. Here for a quick meal tonight, and decided to order Szechuan chicken. It was spicy and wonderful, though it could have used a few more veggies for balance. Still, I’ll remember this trip for the quality of flavors! Definitely will consider ordering again.
