" My recent visit to Lefty's was less than stellar. While the portions were great, the fried rice was bland, which was disappointing given the high expectations based on reviews. Service was acceptable, but the food didn’t impress me. I might try again later if I'm ever back in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is worth the visit! The st. Paul was so delicious, and I absolutely loved the directions the staff provided on how to eat it authentically. The fried rice portions were exactly right, and I appreciated the fresh ingredients they used. I’m making this a regular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had a nice experience at Lefty's. The food was fresh, and I appreciated the kindness from the staff. The portion size was good, but the flavor of the fried rice left me wanting more. I think they have potential, and I'd consider going back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was disappointed with my takeout from Lefty's. The rice was greasy and the chicken had an odd flavor. I was really looking forward to the food based on the other reviews, but maybe I just hit them on a bad day. Service was okay, but improvements can be made. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had my first meal at Lefty's and it was delightful! The chicken lo mein was flavor-packed, and the portion sizes were great. The service was attentive without being overbearing. There’s a cozy vibe here, perfect for both dining in and take out. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
