Satisfying food, friendly people!!! 😁😁😁😁😁

Diner Review №6

Ordered sesame chicken and it looked nothing like the photos; they were large, round, and red sweet sauce. 90% of it is filling and barely any actual chicken.

This place USE to be consistently excellent! They changed ownership we tried twice it was awful both times. We took a break for awhile tried again after reading their replies about how they were going to try to improve. Can’t believe it but it’s actually worse ! Seriously this place use to be so good that when people would call in an order they say 2 and a half hour wait it was no problem because the food was that awesome. Cutting all these corners to save money in the end you will lose business. Let’s not leave out how quality and taste and portions have gone down while their prices have gone up. Sad they destroyed this business.

Have ordered several times since new owners took over and food and service has been good. Today, I ordered the beef and garlic, chicken fried rice, wonton soup, udon chicken and chicken egg foo young. Service is fast and driver is extremely polite and friendly. The beef and garlic is amazing, tender beef and veggies in a delicious brown garlicky sauce. It was very impressive. Will definitely order it again! Went great with the chicken fried rice. The egg foo young was delicious as well. The only room for improvement that I can recommend is to maybe change the brown sauce for the egg foo young. It was very dark brown and thick and tasteless. You had to take a knife to smear it on. It wasn't like the normal egg foo young gravy that is thinner in consistency and sweeter. All was well though as I just didn't eat the gravy. Wonton soup is very tasty but needs more wontons. I frequent different locations as well as locations in New York and the wonton soup is always plentiful with wontons. Approx 5 in a small and 9 or 10 in a large. The container is usually overflowing with wontons. Other than that, the customer service is amazing and orders are prioritized and delivered quickly. We even received complimentary, free cheese fried wontons which were delicious and a very nice surprise. Thank you!😊 Will continue to recommend and will be ordering again soon!

Update from 11/22/24. Have visited twice in the past week and the food is excellent. Staff are so incredibly kind and friendly. Your business is truly appreciated. The sesame chicken is delicious, huge chunks of white meat chicken and a sweet and savory sauce topped with sesame seeds. The pork spare ribs are also delicious. I love how they are on the plainer side and not full of sauce. Seasoned just right. Beef with onions and green pepper is so tasty and the beef is soft and easy to chew. What I most appreciate about Lee's Asian Bistro is how the staff treats you. As a customer, I am always welcomed and server's are eager to make sure that you are happy with your food and the service. Thank you, Lee's!!

Diner Review №13

Last time I was here was around 2022... If you didn't call ahead you were gonna wait A WHILE! No biggie because the food was great, my go to, they're special fried rice, egg drop soup and garlic chicken. This time I didn't see the old lady in the back, absolutely no wait and no one was in there. That was a clue then when I got my food home, mediocre at best, watery soup, their signature rice is now like everyone else's. So disappointed... Didn't eat it, at least the garlic chicken was good.

Diner Review №14

the food hasnt been good since Mrs. Lee retired

Diner Review №15

General Tso chicken & Lo Mein was bomb!

Diner Review №16

The food was very good and the service was great. I tried the special. The gentleman in the front was very friendly and gave me the wifi password. Food was plenty and came with a soft drink for the special.

Diner Review №17

The gentleman who took my order was cheerful and kind. I ordered 3 different dishes for about $50.00. The combination dinner with egg roll wonton soup fried rice and shrimp and vegetables was excellent. That was a lot of food 😊. I’d definitely go back again. Very clean.

There are several hotels and several restaurants to choose from in the immediate area. I travel for work,This place was a short walk from my hotel . This place is wonderful. The service was attentive and helpful and the food was amazing! I ordered orange chicken, fried rice, and hot sour soup. Food was fresh and it was just a good experience.

Diner Review №20

We use to love the food here But we ordered delivery last nite veg chow mein all lettuce and celery veggie lo mein noodles a couple pieces of corn and some horrible sauce veggie fried rice no taste at all NEVER ORDER FROM THERE AGAIN

Diner Review №21

Since the old lady left the place sucks

Diner Review №22

This wasn’t my first order. I know this place is good. I placed an order online and they made it immediately. The dumplings were perfect. The udon chicken, lo mein and egg drop soup were also delightful. I will come back and bring friends.

Diner Review №23

Diner Review №24

Was traveling through and stopped for Dinner. This place is wonderful. The service was attentive and helpful and the food was amazing! Highly recommend both General Tso’s chicken and string bean szechuan style.They also gave us a free try of their new chicken ball, which was surprisingly delicious. We look forward to going back.

Diner Review №25

Update 4/20/23 so ordered my typical order, General tso chicken it was packaged differently and also the quality went down hill 100% I called them and they said a new owner took over recently, this sucks so bad because it used to be the best spot I knew of and the new owners are CLEARLY CUTTING CORNERS ON QUALITY no longer 100% white meat in the chicken , tastes worse and just all around dissatisfied. Sorry but I will probably no longer order from them again, and it used to be my GO TO SPOT.
The new owners CLEARLY don’t care about quality and won’t use the same quality ingredients as the old owners. I would recommend not to come here purley from the change of quality.

Diner Review №26

Got free doughnut on our first order. Great guys out there and decently priced meals.

Diner Review №27

Delicious Chinese food. We had the schezuan beef and sesame chicken with mixed vegetables.

Diner Review №31

Portion sizes were amazing. The chicken chunks were the size of our child's fist! Food was delivered quickly and was still steaming! Will definitely order from here again.

Diner Review №32

Service is NOT slow. Lee's Asian Bistro is that busy and that in demand.
YOU MUST ALLOW extra time if you wish to enjoy their great food. Bare minimum, I call an hour ahead to place an order. During peak times (evenings and weekends especially), I call two hours ahead. Our family has been enjoying food prepared by the Lee Family for many, many years. The quality and quantity are superior. The Lee Family and their staff are very organized and hustling to freshly fulfill orders every minute they are open. It is quite a pace they keep up and I'm glad they do as their food is delicious and a real treat.

Diner Review №33

The inside is nothing fancy but very clean and wonderful. The food is so good its like normal Asian food but always made perfectly. If you spend more than 50 dollars on a meal they give you free sugar donuts and I love them.

Diner Review №34

Food is always hot and the service is always fast and curtious if I could give them a 10 I would

Diner Review №35

Very convenient location with parking spots. The food served was all delicious and quality approved. My favorite was the general tao’s chicken it was great. definitely will come back as my comfort food.

Diner Review №36

This is an average, family owned Chinese restaurant. The restaurant is clean and bright. We came for dinner and ordered 2 dinner combos and another dish. I have to say that the taste of Hot & Sour Soup was great. It had the right spiciness and sourness. The consistency is just right. And the portion is bigger than other restaurants. After the soup, I was really looking forward to the main course. But, the taste of main dishes was average at best. The materials were of good quality but the workmanship was not that good. Cuts were coarse and irregular. The service was minimum. You place your orders at the counter, refill your own drink and pick up fortune cookies your self when done.
For the price, I may be back if I want a quick bite. If I want to enjoy a good Chinese food, I may find another restaurant.

Diner Review №37

This is my very FIRST review of ANYTHING. If you haven't been to "Madam Lee's" (my quotes) you haven't ever eaten chinese food . Absolutely NUMBER ONE . You've never seen General Tso's Chicken like this and even the SMALL Wonton soup has - not one, not two but THREE dumplings.
Eat in or take out it's the last Chinese Restaurant you'll ever need.
Thanks "Madam Lee" .

Diner Review №38

Egg rolls are perfect. Lo mein is perfect. Yup, just what I'm looking for in a Chinese restaurant.

EDIT: I really hate to have to do this but it seems another local restaurant I loved was taken over by new management and the quality has gone downhill. I'm glad to hear Mrs. Lee can enjoy her golden years, but the new management needs to ask for her recipes or something. The chicken had a gummy rubbery texture, the sauce was all kind of bland and way too thick, my son's chicken fried rice was completely unseasoned, they don't give you complementary wontons and duck sauce anymore, they don't even have real soy sauce on the tables anymore... Just.. so much wasn't the same. Like it's now on par with every other mediocre Chinese takeout place in the area, only the prices are ridiculous. I feel cheated honestly.

Diner Review №39

Diner Review №40

Friendly over the phone, and in person. Not the fanciest place but very clean and inviting. The food is a notch above the average Asian take out, for the same price. Huge juicy chicken pieces, so tired of getting mostly breading from Chinese take out and I never get that here. Consistently fresh tasting. Appetizers like egg rolls and soup also taste fresh and well made instead of after thoughts. Wontons have good filling and broth is tasty. To be fair me and the wife really on get the basic stuff, sesame amd general tsos chicken, but it's excellent. I'm sure the rest of the menu is probably similar quality. Usually spend about 15$ for a dinner for two. Definitely the best Asian take out I've found in the belcamp/aberdeen area.

Diner Review №41

Called my order in for 2 of the house special wonton soups. Let me say the order was ready less than 15 minutes. It usually comes with wonton strips, but they gave us an extra container of broth. Definitely appreciated that. Broth was light and tasty. I could twice out of it, exactly what they described. I'd go back and try a few other things. Too bad they closed Mondays lol guess I'll have to come by Tuesday and try something else. Definitely recommend 10/10.

The food was good, We well be coming back for sure ,every food I order was really tasty! High recommend !

Diner Review №44

Great food, and the best service in town. Everyone is always so friendly!!

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

The food is delicious. The service is prompt. The delivery is quick.

Diner Review №47

Not the same since Mr & Mrs Lee retired and sold the restaurant. In my opinion, the old place rival any New York City restaurant. As a matter of fact, New Yorkers pasting through started to stop in. That says a lot.

Sorry, new owners, your food is not as good as Mr. and Mrs. Lee.

Diner Review №48

Diner Review №49

Lee got to be the best China in the area I'm glad to be close to a great establishment like this food has been the same great taste they have never let me down.

Diner Review №50

Being from nj/ny area we have the best Chinese food and this place is top notch very fresh and generous portions and the cleanest restaurant I have ever been too

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

Best place for lunch. VERY quickly served, amazing pricing The food was amazing! This is definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants to eat at. The server was very friendly and hospitable. The General Tso’s chicken was impressive.

Diner Review №53

Ok, wait!! Something happened and I am changing my review from 5 stars. The food is different. The Gen tso sauce is different, the pad Thai is different, the brown sauce is different. I thought it was a fluke, but no. The past 4 times we have been a little disappointed. The tastes are off. It is still quality, but hard to be happy about food that goes from wow to just like every other place. Sadly no longer worth the drive. There never use to be a seat or a parking place. Now there is no line and plenty of space so I guess it isn't just us with this opinion.

Diner Review №54

Excellent food!!! Have ordered here several times, my family had a great experience with it last night, and we couldn't ask for a better experience. The most delicious dish Beef in garlic sauce as the best protagoist on the table, and I couldn't stop tasting the magic from Thai red curry chicken. Unlike other restaurants I tried before, the Chef seems to spend a lot of effort into the sauce. Furthermore, I appreciate the folks' effort in Lee's, and their attitude towards customers and free item for us.

Diner Review №55

Loving my king pow 💥 shrimp 🦐 thank you 🙏

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

Never disappointed, always hits the spot, love there food and how friendly they are. Really nice atmosphere.Amazing fast, fresh food.

Diner Review №58

I’ve been going here for years because it WAS the best. It’s absolutely awful now. As the other reviews stated, it appears they’ve changed owners. Nothing is the same. The fried rice is terrible and flavorless. The general Tso’s chicken is soggy, the sauce is disgustingly sweet, and the chicken is low quality and gristly. I should have known because my order was ready in 15 minutes on a Friday night. It used to take over a hour to get food (and it was worth the wait!). Won’t be back.

Diner Review №59

Good food for a good price

Small restaurant but the service was good.

Diner Review №60

Diner Review №61

Love the Thai red curry!

Diner Review №62

This place changed owners and the food and prices completely changed. Not nearly as good as it was before.

Edit: they have revised some of their recipes. Not as good as before but much better

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

Must be new owners or something. This used to be my go to place and now it's terrible. Sad to see the negative change. I can't even explain how bad this "fried" rice is.

Diner Review №65

My colleague recommended this place to me. This was our first time and the food was simply excellent!! We ordered online for takeout and had a variety of appetizers, soup and dinners. The food was very fresh and delicately seasoned. Portions and prices were very reasonable. While the place is a little more distant than we like, there is no question in my mind that this will be our new “go to” place in the future. The food was ready upon our arrival as promised, prepared as we asked, and handled by a friendly cashier.

Diner Review №66

This was by far the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten in my life. I spent $50 and ate two mouthfuls. Simple things like the egg rolls and won ton soup were not edible. I love to eat, but left this place angry. The best word to describe the food here is "disgusting." DO NOT EAT HERE!

Diner Review №67

The atmosphere was underwhelming. It is advertised as a bistro but, as soon as I walked in, I realized that it was just another Chinese place. The food was worse. I ordered lo mein, edamame, egg drop soup, and steamed dumplings. The lo mein was shriveled and burnt, the egdrop soup was overcooked, the dumplings weren’t great. The only food item that stood out was the edamame. The service was the highlight of the meal. The first bit of food took only 3 mins to get to the table and the entree took about 8. I think they should’ve taken their time and cooked a good meal rather then rush and make most of the food unsuitable for a dog.

Diner Review №68

July 2023:::: Update : front desk is a clown, messed up the order, gave me the wrong food, and pretends like o said my name wrong. Then I bring back the food , and then he tries to act like it’s my fault! …. There are better places than this, tried to give them another chance and yet another screw up !!!!!!!!!!!

Diner Review №69

Pretty good and tasty

Diner Review №70

I had lunch with my friends here, the sesame chicken was delicious, and the quantity of their lunch special with free drink is so satisfied for peoples lunch time.

Diner Review №71

They are servicing delicious food and providing a clean environment. Will be back soon.

Diner Review №72

Diner Review №73

I have ordered from this restaurant in the past and really enjoyed the food! Well, I recently placed an ordered, and the food tasted completely different. I was very disappointed because the prices increased, yet the quality and taste of food decreased.

I do not plan to visit again.

Diner Review №74

It was better before ownership changed! They get my order wrong now. And it isn’t as good!

Diner Review №75

New owners Quality of food dropped and you really need to realize that that was the draw. Please be smart and go back to the higher quality food like Lees used to have. Especially the chicken. It was real chicken and made the difference. And everything. Call Mrs Lee and ask for her help to go back to the way it was or you will close….

Diner Review №76

The service has always been great. My family has loved ordering from this restaurant until a few months ago. Please add the orange zest back to the sauce.

6/13/23 - Thank you for your response, I will keep that in mind because I didn’t know this. The orange sauce use to come with a lot of zest and it was amazing and really balanced the spice. The tofu with orange sauce is the best!

Diner Review №77

The food was great and the restaurant was very clean.

Diner Review №78

My family and I have been ordering Lees for years now , if I had to guess at least 6 years now. I know times are tough but the quality of their food has gone down drastically over the past year, not only has the quality gone down but the prices have increased significantly. 4 extra dollars to get a large of most menu items. If you get general Tsos or sesame chicken , that might mean 3 extra pieces if you’re lucky . I would alway say Lees was the best Asian fusion around , can no longer say that . Some of the staples that my family and I got were general Tsos chicken, different types of lo mein, Thai red curry chicken , crab cheese wontons and hot and sour soup. The chicken use to be high quality , the past two times it has been mush and mostly breading and mushy, they changed their cheese wontons , once it was plump and filling and now is a husk of what it use to be , and their overall ingredients in everything has gone down. From their protein to the vegetables in their hot and sour soup ( they use to have fresh mushrooms and now has been replaced with rubbery canned mushrooms) . Lees use to separate themselves from every Asian fusion around. I will likely not be back.

It is a sad day

Diner Review №79

Stopped by during a road trip to try the food, and I’m glad we did! We got the two dinner combos (sesame chicken and shrimp broccoli). LOVED the soups. Definitely give this place a try!

Diner Review №80

Very happy to have this place in the neighborhood! We used to drive down to Abingdon for Chinese, but in the Belcamp/Riverside area, you can't beat the food here! The portions are more than ample and good value for the price. They are also very generous with condiments!

Diner Review №81

I've never been inside so I can't rate the atmosphere, but I moved to this area and my favorite Chinese spot was wok to go in Bel Air Maryland, but I like this place better. I'm a huge fan of combination Mei fun noodles with all of the meat and bone in spare ribs when it comes to Chinese food and obviously egg rolls. All three of these are phenomenal and they are very fast with delivery and give you free food if you spend over a certain amount. Thumbs up. I definitely recommend and the prices aren't bad at all. They have dinner combinations specials where you get a hefty portion and an egg roll pork fried rice and soup. Not one or the other. Most places have soup or egg roll and the prices are very good!

Diner Review №82

It’s good. My favorite take out place.

Diner Review №83

Diner Review №84

The quality of the food has gone down, definitely not the same Lee's Asian Bistro as before.

Diner Review №85

My favorite restaurant Lee’s bistro was recommended by my friends. We order from them so often these months and it’s like long time friend. Best KungPao Dishes, house special wonton soup and Spare BBQ spare ribs are actually magical.

Diner Review №86

Diner Review №87

A great dinner tonight and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The delicious dishes Thai red curry chicken and Crispy Szuchuan Beef as the best protagonists on the table. Absolutely, we will back again for sure!

Diner Review №88

My in-laws did take out, and it was some of the worst Food I've ever had. I ordered wonton soup, and there was absolutely no filling inside the wontons! Someone had just made little dough hats and put them in to look like one tons with a few scraps of shredded pork at the bottom. The fact that they couldn't get a simple soup right is enough to have turned us all off from buying from this restaurant ever again. They should be ashamed of themselves for serving up such a horribly poor product. Who on Earth does that? Don't waste your money.

Diner Review №89

Diner Review №90

Yes... Unfortunately new owners and the quality has dropped. The egg rolls I usually get smelled and tasted off... I had to toss them and overall food wasn't as tasty. This was my go-to. So unfortunate. But I wish the best for the original owner Mrs. Lee.

Diner Review №91

There are some minor problems with my order, where they didn't put few things I want in one of my dishes, but the front desk young man is very polite and solve the problem for us with a replacement. My experience is definitely not as bad as what others said in the comments, and they are simply exaggerating in some ways in my opinion. Definitely will come back here again

Diner Review №92

Noticed the parking spots were empty when it used to be no parking spots open before. And usually this place would be busy inside as well. I haven't been over here in 2 months but deceided to order my usual cajun seafood combination tonight. And it was terrible! Didn't even come close to the usual cajun seafood sauce. This dish was bland had no flavor or cajun seasoning. Plus they added bunch of veggies instead. There would normally be huge scallops in this dish and I saw 3 tiny really skinny scallops as if they sliced up one small scallop they could find to put in.

I called back immediately and asked if they changed chefs and the kid informed that they did not but after mentioning that this dish comes with lemon and not lime the boy said it's his dad's fault and to return the order for them to remake it. I said no since who knows what they would do to my food if I took it back. Kid was apologetic saying the owners went to New York and there is only 2 chefs.

I tell you what after reading the reviews I am convinced this place has new chefs and new owners. Most definitely will not be returning.

Diner Review №93

Best Asian bistro in Harford county food is always high quality and tons of it. I have been eating here for years and it's never changed. I look forward to when we decide on Lee's cause I know the quality we are going to receive!!!

Diner Review №94

We were passing through the town and stop by here to have a quick lunch, and the experience is great. The food is delicious and they gave quit a lot for this price too. Definitely will come back again if we got a chance to revisit!

Diner Review №95

Diner Review №96

Lee's was once a regular part of our weekly work rotation for lunch. Something changed maybe two or so months ago and the food is not nearly as good as it used to be. Still OK Chinese food but priced too expensively when similar meals can be found for less.

Diner Review №97

Their food is excellent.

Diner Review №98

Great taste dishes and good values with great food quality! This Lee restaurant is our favorite Chinese carry-out.

Diner Review №99

Recently placed a large order from there, still served with great pricing for the quality of their food, freshly prepared, and quite delicious.

Diner Review №100

Best Chinese food in Harford County. Everything is phenomenal. I would give this a billion stars if I could.
They also sell dishes inspired by Thailand and Japan.
I are constantly impressed with the cleanliness, super friendliness, and food quality.
General Tso's chicken, eggplant dishes, sesame tofu, Shrimp with fresh vegetables, beef flat noodle,…great tasting food cooked to perfection, make sure you give this place a try.

Diner Review №101

I don’t know who this is but it is NOT Lee!
The real Lee sold the name and business and the food is not the same. Lee’s Asian Bistro is no longer the best.
General Tso had no sauce. The breading is different, more like a chicken nugget. The “sauce” was more of a thin coating that tasted like buffalo sauce mixed with honey. No little pieces of red pepper and absolutely no broccoli. The veggie egg rolls are very small.
The veggie lo mein is ok but it’s dry. I paid extra for beef to be added and it is good.
We won’t be back. Lee we’ll miss you.

Diner Review №102

I like the food here very much, Best Chinese food in Harford County.,I will come again.

Diner Review №103

Amazing food and plenty of food per order....

Diner Review №104

i think they change owners .The food now is not good totally different flavor they teally went down the hill from A 5 star to a one

Diner Review №105

This place was my absolute favorite to go to for Chinese but then management or ownership changed and the rice changed. May not mean a lot to some people but I can tell the difference the old sticky rice is where it's at and now this rice tastes like instant rice to me I'm so used to the old rice I couldn't even enjoy my meal that involved the rice I even tried this place again months later after new ownership thinking things will be different but absolutely not.still a great place if you're not funny about the rice.

Diner Review №106

Diner Review №107

I’ve been going to Lee’s since it opened here. Was a very loyal customer. Their Orange Chicken was “Out of this world”. Crispy & delicious. Everything we purchased was. I say WAS because we went there last night & they changed their cook or recipes. It was VERY special, a (9.5) now it’s like EVERY other Chinese restaurant I’ve been to In United States a (6.0). Average! I won’t be back, & I’m sure many will follow. Unfortunately.

Dear Owner,

So is the “cook” or “recipes” different now? I used to brag about this restaurant constantly.

Diner Review №108

My sister have been raving about this place for a while, so I finally gave it a chance!! Will definitely come back. Everything we had was top noch!!

Diner Review №109

It's been long time for me to place order here, and something new surprised me tonight. I was questioned the way how they cook my general tso chicken for me since I wasn't expecting that the taste can be promoted, but I was wrong. More specifically, I chose the way that keeps the chicken tender, and that made my palate further feel the tenderness and freshness of the chicken (instead of hard and dry as before). More than that, the sauce they use definitely adds other umami-sweet flavors instead of plenty of soy sauce and artificial white sugar.

Diner Review №110

The food is not nearly as good as it was when Mrs Lee was there. Our chicken wings in the appetizer sampler were bloody and under cooked, the general tso's and orange chicken were not longer crispy but mushy. Food is now blah. Sorry but we won't be returning.

Diner Review №111

My husband and I ordered 2 Lunch Specials:
Orange Chicken
Chicken Broccoli
Also we ordered Small Veggie Lo Mein and 2 Veggie Rolls.

Our food was cooked and served with care. Although the recipe used for Orange Chicken was slightly different than we remembered, it was delicious.
We loved how the meat was more tenderly cut and prepared with yummy orange zest!
As always, both meals were flavorful and filling😘

Diner Review №112

I don’t like the new general tsos, please change it back.

Diner Review №113

Diner Review №114

There's nothing like getting a combo of Tso Chicken & Shrimp. Never had a bad order. Mrs Lee took care of her customers. Got an order from work last week...... and was like, hey, something different. The taste wasn't there like it once was, and the shrimp got smaller. So i called the store asking if Mrs Lee was on vacation...... And the team told me she had RETIRED. OH NO. Knew something was different. Well may give them one more try. THANK YOU MRS LEE FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS WITH HOT FRESH FOOD AND THE LUV YOU PUT IN EVERY DISH. ENJOY YOUR RETIREMENT.

Diner Review №115

Since Mrs. Lee’s retirement, the food is NOT the same. The crab wontons are way too sweet and not fried well. Also, after spending $63 in their establishment, I was given only 4 soy sauce packets, duck sauces and mustard packs. When Mrs. Lee was there, more was given. And lastly, the combination fried rice only had 1 large shrimp in it. #MrsLeePleaseComeBack

Diner Review №116

It can take a while to get your food, they are busy. Anyone saying the food is bad must be suffering from a stroke or they're a Karen. This food is the best chinese american food I've had and I always order when I'm in the area. Portions are Generous, food is crispy and fresh (crispy beef is awesome) and they never have gotten my order wrong in 7 years. I pray they never go out of business. Its Pricier than the slop you're used to because they actually cook real food.

Diner Review №117

used to be soo good but for some reason everything ive gotten lately has been extremely spicy even when asked for mild.

Diner Review №118

WTH😡😡😡…I’ve never ordered shrimp and broccoli and got it with no sauce and this jello looking mess that smells burnt on the side, a waste of $43, NEVER AGAIN, save your money…

Diner Review №119

I keep hoping things will change, it has...for the worse. I ordered two lunch specials and was told you can only get a can soda with it.
First order was Sesame chicken with Lo Mein, second order General T'so with Lo Mein. I have never had dry Lo Mein with no vegetables, the Sesame chicken taste more like orange chicken; too sweet. The female that took the order quoted the subtotal, so when I asked the delivery guy if he $4, he said "No tip?" I told him he would be getting a $3 time for what I was quoted "twenty-three dollars;" he then shows me the receipt with 23 & change minus taxes and delivery 🙄 She's going to cost him tips.
Totally done..... no more chances

Diner Review №121

Not sure what happened but I'm guessing picture our deceiving.. anyone wants extra crispy burnt food to give to their children. Very disappointed

Diner Review №122

Delivery drivers are horrible .

Best food in town. Always Fresh... & using all White meat chicken Breast makes a BIG difference. Thank you

Great service and food. Just need for them to offer vegetable egg rolls.

The food was pretty good. I enjoyed the wonton soup so much. The wait was terrible but they tried to make it right and admitted the error. This will be my go to for carryout Chinese.

We have lived in MD for over a year now and have struggled to find a place that has good American Chinese food. We finally decided to give Lee's a shot because of how close by they are to our house and we were pleasantly surprised! The General Tso's chicken was definitely the best we have had so far and the Sesame chicken was also pretty good just a little on the tart side. Both had a great crispy texture and very large pieces of white meat chicken. The only thing that would make the experience 10/10 would be changing the rice. The rice has the texture and flavor of instant rice and I definitely wish it was steam cooked jasmine rice instead. But overall a very good experience, will be buying from here again!

Finally a good Chinese place!
-let me rephrase, finally found a excellent Chinese place.

I've been going to restaurant to restaurant based on reviews only to be disappointed time and time again, but this place... is soo good!

You got yourself a new customer and I eat a lot of Chinese food so you're in luck!
- Give this place a try, it's very good!

dont get what the complaining is about. I order from here often and the food is always great

Diner Review №132

This hands down is the best American- Chinese food restaurant I've ever been to. They actually serve you: nice, big, juicy cuts of meats in ALL of your orders. It's definitely not those sketchy, low quality cuts of meat you get at your typical take out places. I'd give this place 6 out of 5 stars, but they're always 10 or so minutes late on all orders. I'm not disappointed at this because all the food is great and fresh, but they're time management is almost always off. So take your time picking up your food.

Always good food. Great lunch selection

Diner Review №138

The driver couldn’t find my address and delivered to another address and refuses to bring the food to the proper address once corrected, I would highly stay away from getting delivery from this restaurant! Pretty horrendous customer service as well, Driver came across as ignorant and rude!

Follow up, they forgot my eggrolls as well, didn’t even get my complete order!

I've given this place several chances throughout the three years I've lived near it.
I don't know how all these people think this food is so great.
This is fried rice is so old and mushy. The General T'so was sweet. I got a lunch special, and wasn't asked if I wanted a drink, soup,egg roll.

By far the best Chinese food in Harford County. My husband and I love going to Lee's Asian Bistro around once a month. We will usually stop by and get the lunch menu as the food is enough for two or maybe even three meals depending on the day. It's definitely worth eating here!

Generous serving size. High quality. Great price. Expect a 20+ minute wait time

Diner Review №149

My wife and I went there to eat. We were starting to place our order when the waitress asked us if we were eating in or taking out. I replied, " We would like to eat in."Then we were rudly interrupted by the guy at the register who said that the dining room was closed with no explanation. I'm not sure if he was the manager or not. It did not make sense to me since there were more than 2 hours before they closed, and there were customers already eating there. I will not patronize this place, ever!

Great food but my take a bit of a wait to get it

Diner Review №154

I wish I had more time to take pictures of the food to show the great quality of it. But the food was delicious and fresh, the environment was clean, the service was very friendly and fast. Finally we found a Chinese restaurant that we will be coming often.

Diner Review №155

I always get pad thai,or shrimp egg foo young. They make iy just the way i like,and no peas.

Diner Review №156

Amazing food, great service. Always worth the delivery wait.

All i can say is
General Tso's wings AAA+

Diner Review №158

Okay this is the second time I've had problems with this restaurant, I really like the food that's why I'm still giving 3 stars, but the first time I ordered sweet and sour shrimp and they gave me sweet and sour chicken. It was on the receipt so I only paid for sweet and sour chicken so I didn't make a fuss over it. Tonight I called and said exactly, " I would like to place an order for delivery" the man said okay. We went through everything two hours later where is my food. I call back he says oh I thought you placed for pick up. No. The first thing I said when he answered was "hello. I would like to place an order for delivery!" It's just frustrating. So now I have two charges because apparently he didn't charge me for delivery and I have to wait for the first charge to fall off. Who ever is working the phones I simply ask that you pay attention. Frustrated. But again I love the food here but jeez guys.

Diner Review №159

The food is very good, reasonable priced. Also, I would like to let management how pleased we are for the improvement on the packing for pick up orders, an excellent 👍 investment on their part.
We will definitely continue ordering takeout from this restaurant.

I had been settling for “ok” Chinese food and saw reviews on my local towns’ fb page for Lee’s and tried it for the first time..I’m hooked!! The food is absolutely delicious!! Chicken and beef tender and veggies perfect. Each dish tastes amazing and has its distinct flavors portraying the dish..in the past other places make most thinks taste just about the same. Everything tastes cooked fresh and made to order..hot and delicious. They even put in a free couple of hot sugar donuts in my order!! I’m in love and sold!! Portions are generous and quality is excellent.

Diner Review №168

OMG, this place is awesome! Great quality, absolutely delicious! Huge portions. They were happy to customize our order. Everything was really terrific! The people are really nice too!

Diner Review №169

I purchased the Chicken vegetable wrap, Shrimp egg food young, Shrimp toast, Sweet and sour Shrimp and spare ribs. The food is excellent!😋😋😋

Best Asian Bistro in town, I love their food

Diner Review №171

This is some of the best food you will taste in Maryland. Top notch place with very reasonable prices.

Diner Review №172

My family only eats from the best.

Diner Review №173

My meal was ok, but service was really slow. I also found that their menu showed my order should have been $11.95, but it rang up as $13.50. I didn't quibble. I just assumed they recently raised their prices but hadn't updated the menus yet.

I'll try them again another time to see if they are better.

Absolutely love the food prepared here. I’m a little picky about vegetables and such ( I don’t like most of them ) , I’ve always received my order completed correct. If you enjoy Chinese cuisine I highly recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed. I live in Abingdon and with all the Chinese take out restaurants around this is the only restaurant I order from. I’ve become a life long customer.

First time here and it was amazing. Came down from Forest Hill. Food was very high quality and simply delicious! Place was super clean inside and very friendly staff. Definitely our new place for Chinise!

Great fresh authentic cuisine. A little pricey but worth it. The shrimp they use are big and fresh. Sweet sour chicken is the best

Diner Review №188

Decent for the price. Would come back again.

Best Chinese food in Harford county

Diner Review №195

Omg best ever!!! We've been told that the food was great here but never got around to trying it till tonight. You just gained 2 new customers for life!! Awesome food. I got the shrimp with cashews and it was the best I've ever had. Hubby had the triple delight and he was chewing and saying this is sooo amazing the whole meal lol..the fried wonton..shut the door ...I've had them from so many places and these were the best!! And free doughnuts.. what
a wonderful surprise!

Diner Review №196

Best Chinese food in town. I've tried several entrees and all were fresh, large portions, and always great service. During peak times the wait is a little longer but worth it!

Diner Review №197

They really need to do something about the delivery time. I order from here and sometimes I pick up and sometimes I deliver and when I do boy do I regret it. No less than 60 minutes sometimes it’s gets up to 90 or more. Quite ridiculous.
The food is great though and the friendly twins are amazing
.

Diner Review №198

TLDR; AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE, ACCOMODATE EXTRA TIME ON THEIR PICKUP/DELIVERY TIMES.

The food here I think is amazing, from mainstream Chinese food dishes to Thai red curry is all extremely well cooked and flavored, and always tastes like fresh vegetables. The service is by far the best around, the twins as referenced by other members are probably the best customer service skills I've ever witnessed at a restaurant.
Con: just one thing is the timing, and not just how long it takes, but how long they say it will take. I usually order $40-$70 worth of food and depending on the time and day usually say between 45 to 90 minutes. It never done on time, lately I've been just adding 15 min to it myself but I've had 3 times where they say 45 and took 90-100 minutes total. This can really be a deal breaker on someone who has a very busy lifestyle.

The best Chinese food in the area.
