" The BBQ duck and pork were simply outstanding! I’ve been looking for an authentic place, and I finally found it here. The portions are big, and it’s always a treat to eat here. I could easily come back every week. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner at Le's last night and was thoroughly impressed by the whole experience. From the juicy and perfectly seasoned roast duck to the crispy egg rolls, every dish was exceptional. The service was friendly, though occasionally busy. My only complaint would be the lack of seating space, but the food more than makes up for it. It's that good! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to many Chinese restaurants, but Le's stands out for its authenticity. I ordered the duck soup and found it delicious! The flavors were deep and comforting. I didn't wait long for my food, but the ambiance felt a bit mundane. Overall, I’ll be back for more of that soup! " (*Curated Review*)

" Le's has been my go-to for Chinese BBQ for years. The quality of the food is consistently excellent. The duck is rich and flavorful, and the char siu is a solid companion. I appreciate how welcoming the owners are; they've created a lovely dining environment, even if it's a bit rustic. Definitely try the dumplings if you visit! " (*Curated Review*)

The place can get busy, but the service remains friendly. I look forward to visiting again soon to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Le's BBQ is amazing! I went in for lunch, and the duck soup was hearty and satisfying. I also tried a side of crab rangoon which was crispy and delicious. The service was friendly, and I appreciated their attention to detail. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
