" I didn’t expect too much, but China Lee surprised me with great quality! Their sweet and sour chicken was well done, and the rice was fluffy—not greasy at all. Plus, the drive-thru setup is convenient and I got my order in quickly. A definite recommend for a no-frills dinner! " (*Curated Review*)

" It’s been years since I had takeout, but China Lee is changing that for me. The menu is extensive, and my sweet and sour shrimp was delightful! I was exceptionally impressed with the portion sizes and how quickly I could drive through. A great stop for anyone busy yet seeking great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I reached out to try this restaurant today after several mentions, and I have to say I was disappointed. The 'General Tso's' felt more like a generic take—and not in a good way. The chicken seemed pre-cooked. It was edible, but not something I'd rush back for. Service was friendly but that didn’t quite redeem it for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had the General Tso's Chicken today, and I have to say it came out satisfying! It was crisp and flavorful with a perfect spicy kick. The staff was polite and wrapped my food properly for transport. When I combined that with the quick wait time, I had a splendid experience! I'll definitely be recommending this place to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came along here for lunch and ordered the vegetable lo mein, which is one of my favorites! It was vibrant with fresh veggies and the noodles weren’t overly greasy. I’ve had lo mein from other places that tasted bland, but this one was spot on. I love that they have a drive-thru, making it easy to grab my favorite dish without the hassle. Will definitely return! " (*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.
