" My recent dining experience at Lee Chen was a bit of a mixed bag. While the food was overall tasty, I found the kung pao chicken to be somewhat on the bland side compared to what I’m used to. On the other hand, the xiao long bao was delightful, and I could really appreciate the authenticity of their offerings. The service was good, but it did take a while for our main courses to arrive. The ambiance was pleasant, with a clean and tidy dining area. I'll probably give it another shot, as I've heard great things about their fried rice. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every dish we ordered at Lee Chen was excellent! The crystal pork belly was exquisite, just as I've had it in Taiwan. The dumplings were also steaming hot and flavorful. The waitstaff was incredibly attentive, and the ambiance was perfect for our family dinner. Although the prices were higher than average, the quality justified it. I can't recommend this restaurant enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Lee Chen Asian Bistro last week and was quite impressed. The offerings were varied, with plenty of classic dishes to choose from. I ordered the beef noodle soup, which was flavorful and absolutely filling. However, the overall portion size was a bit less than expected, especially considering the priciness of the menu items. The ambience was cozy and the service swift. Overall, I would say it’s a solid option for a meal that reminds me of authentic Asian flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lee Chen deserves all the stars for their authentic dishes! I enjoyed their spicy dan dan noodles which had the right amount of kick to it. The savory flavors made me feel like I was in Shanghai again! The atmosphere was vibrant and fun, a great place for a family gathering. I highly appreciated how attentive the staff were while we dined. The prices were fair for the portions, although I would've loved to see larger serving sizes. Definitely a place I want to revisit soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Despite the diverse reviews I've heard about Lee Chen, I found my experience to be quite pleasant. The food tasted good, though not spicy enough for my taste. Their dumplings were flavorful, and the service was friendly. The ambiance was cozy and fitting for a casual night out. Although portions were a bit less than what I expected, the overall experience made it worthwhile! Looking forward to trying more dishes in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience at Lee Chen! The dumplings and crispy fried tofu blew my mind! The atmosphere was upbeat, filled with laughter and friendly chatter. Our server was attentive, adding to the wonderful experience. The only minor downside was that I felt some dishes could have been spicier, as I prefer the heat! Overall, a great first-time visit, and I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Lee Chen Asian Bistro, and I must say, the experience was remarkable! The crispy salt and pepper chicken was a standout dish; it had the perfect balance of seasoning without overpowering the natural flavors of the chicken. The service was prompt, and the staff was friendly, making us feel at home. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the décor added to the overall dining experience. The best part, however, was the complimentary sesame balls we received as dessert, a delightful end to our meal. I will definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)
