#1 Express China Lee

Fantastic food! Limited seating, outdoor seating. Best option to get it to go. $ 18 minimum order for delivery.

#1 chinese food my butt! they are rude & the food is cold & disgusting!!! then when my husband and i tried to get them to recook our (frozen in the middle) chicken they caught attitudes! these people have no sense of customer satisfaction! and the part that sucks the most is that i would come here often and they still treated us this way! the old lady there is the rudest she needs mental help! after cooking our food twice it was still disgusting! never coming to this junk shack chinese place again!

I’ve been getting take out here for years. Is it fancy or incredibly clean inside? No. Is it consistently tasty? Yes. It’s always been hot, ready quickly and I can often watch them cooking in the back, so I know its fresh. I’ve recommended it to friends and family over the years, and they’ve all liked it enough to go back.

went here today order my food and waited. The food tasted good.

Really tasty food. Good prices. We’ve ordered from here multiple times and are always happy with our meals

China Lee Express has had multiple health code violations consistently (most recently 22 tots violations noted on 6÷23÷15) with a good majority of them being high priority risk. I recommend taking your business elsewhere.

The food here was horrible, don’t waste your money. It was so bad, I wrote the owner a letter requesting my 25 bucks back because I threw away all of the food. As suspected, did not receive a reply.

I work near there and been there many times… today I went and ordered the sweet n sour chicken combo as I always do. I returned home to discover no sweet n sour sauce was not in the container. I called to tell them and they asked me to come back I said I couldn’t and that next time would buy me a drink. I said oh really a drink for my meal I can’t eat now? They got very aggressive and angry and told me never to come back. I definitely will not. If this was a corporate place I would be writing to the head of their business.

Food is good, reminds me when I used to live in NY. Chinese food NY style. Prices aren’t bad. Customer service is terrible. One time I had to wait over 20 mins when I got there after I ordered my food by phone, unbelievable

This place is one of the nastier Chinese spots. It’s really dirty on the inside, the food is not usually hot and if it is it tastes old and over cooked. Almost like they’ve reheated it too many times. I felt kinda sick last time I ate here. Its really cheap so I see why people come here but spend a couple more dollars and hit the Chinese spot off Hiawassee next to Home Depot. You will be much more satisfied. This place is total dirt ball.

The worst customer service I have ever experienced. There menu says that they deliver and they have delivered to our house before. Now, all of a sudden, they say that the 2 mile drive from there location to my house is to far for them to go and that my business was not worth making such a long drive. I will never give these lazy people my business again and if this is how they continue to treat there customers they won’t be in business much longer.

It is tucked away on the opposing side of the main strip mall facing Kirkman Rd. So you won’t see it unless you drive to the back. It has a humble and modest appearance, reminiscent of a small hole-​in-​the-​wall type of place. Don’t let their looks fool you, since they have perhaps the best quick chinese food in the city. Cheap, fast, and good. What more could you ask for, honestly? Their lunch special is the bomb, at only $ 5.40 for a mammoth lunch platter, that I’m never able to finish in one try, always have it bagged to reheat later.
This really is New York style Chinese take-​out at its best. Who would’ve thought you could still eat lunch for under $ 6 (fyi no drink included). The place is small and the kitchen is even smaller, yet they always have at least three cooks frying, chopping, and sauteeing away in the back. The food, as others have said, is an enviable model for consistency and quality, since their plates look identical, and the portions exact, to the same dishes I’ve ordered in the past on several occasions. Really a great place to eat and kill time, especially if you’re on a budget.

Fairly typical Chinese to go food. Everything seems a bit overcooked and buried in sauce for my taste. The owner is brusque but efficient. To go orders were filled fairly quickly, and cooked to order. There are four tables inside for dining in. Quite inexpensive.

I love this place, the people are always polite and if you come there enough they know you by name, their food is quite delicious. Been eating there for 2 years.

Who does not like Chinese Take Out? I am talking about the fried, greasy, Americanized version that dots every neighborhood and community. The little place that is tucked away with a gazillion items on the menu that makes your head spin. Or the trifold take out menu tucked under your door. Who is your favorite?
I speak of my personal experience. As far back as I can remember, I have always sought out my go to little Chinese take out place. No matter which corner of the world I resided at the time there was always one or more of these little joints that indulge my palate from time to time. Somehow, I have always found a sense of satisfaction after eating from a place like this. I guess that is the definition of one’s comfort food.
China Lee is tucked along Kirkman Rd in the Super Walmart Plaza. It cannot be seen from Kirkman Rd, you would have to enter the plaza, then look at the line of buildings facing Kirkman Rd as it is on the back side facing the Walmart parking lot. There is a big overhead sign. The setting is a modest few tables and chairs more for waiting, but you can eat there. Order from the paper, overhead, or menu board. The menu board display has specials of the day.
General Tsao — chunks of fried chicken in special sauce. I know there is a classic recipe handed down from generations to the most revered of Chinese chefs. Not all versions of that recipe tickle my fancy. Some are either too spicy hot, too salty, too sweet, the appearance of bell peppers makes me cringe, the chicken is often soggy, the sauce is too thick, the sauce is too runny, I can go on and on… This China Lee’s version is my absolute favorite. Yes I endorse it, there!
Having eaten this dish for several times over a long period of time I am convinced that this is not a by fluke recipe or technique. Every time that I have eaten this dish here it was an absolute replica of the first time. Consistency at it’s very best. The chicken is mouth size bites, crispy freshness, fried to perfection. The sauce is a delicate balance of sweet and tangy with the back hint of heat. Right before you swallow that mouthful, the heat kicks in. The accompanying pork fried rice is fresh, not too crispy, not too soft, nice coating of sauce with ample saltiness. Is there a complete absence of MSG? I am not so sure. If there is, then it is a very minute amount for I can still feel my tongue after eating. This flavor and texture is to my likeness.
Maybe the total freshness of food at this place has to do with how busy it is. In all the time I have passed or stopped in, there has always been a crowd. At first, I thought how disorganized. Imagine ordering a pick up and then having to wait for it? Then I went in, I was wrong. People are actually walking in, paying and leaving. There is hardly any wait, even when it is super busy. These guys turn and burn, they crank dishes out before you finish ordering. There is no dilly dally in here. Get in, know what you want order, pay, step aside, pick up food and walk out. Don’t stand around there is a line behind you and everyone is clambering for the same great food. Watch out you could get run over, but the General Tsao is worth it. Did I mention, this is my taste, yours could differ? Give it a try and let me know.

Have started eating here pretty frequently because it is really close to work. My first order was the burbon chicken with chicken fried rice. Both exceeded expectations for Chinese takeout.
Have also tried the house friend rice and hot wing appetizer. Both very good.
They could be a little more generous when you ask for extra duck and soy sauce, but you can expect quick service and good food.

Did the job. A great place to go when you’re extremely hungry!

Good enough for what it is: Average, glutinous, Americanized Chinese food. Fast, relatively cheap (especially if you’re in the neighborhood for a Disney visit), and good if you want something that’s NOT «every chain restaurant» fare. And friends, that’s mostly what this area of Florida consists of.
They do have some cool non-​standard menu items, like a decent tofu dish, and the hot and sour soup was good.
They take credit cards. They’re open late-​ish. Good enough for me.

A pretty straight forward Chinese Buffet Restaurant, but a GOOD ONE. You never know because a lot of the buffets are hit or miss. Express China Lee is pretty good, though and the inside is nice and clean. Not bad if you want to get your China buffet on!

Your typical Chinese take-​out place, Express China Lee restaurant really lives up to its name! They are super quick with their food orders. You walk in, order, and hang out for 10 minutes. POP! There you go. Done.
There are about 4 – 5 booth style tables here if you want to sit and eat but most people have pre-​ordered for take out or have walked-​in.
My sister usually orders the Fried Chicken Wing Special. It comes with 5 – 6 pieces of Fried Chicken Wings and a large portion of Fried Rice. The chicken wings are mighty good. Not your classic barbeque wings but still REALLY good! Every time I’ve tried it, the chicken has always been juicy, never dry. Along with the fried rice, you’ve got yourself a hearty meal. I’d be surprised if I could finish off one of these. My sister usually saves the other half for dinner.
My mom always orders the cooked vegetables. You can’t really go wrong with cooked veggies so I will leave it at that. The veggies come cooked with a sauce for flavor. Never fear! The veggies are not swimming in a sea of Chinese sauce. They add just the right amount of sauce. Lastly, I always order a side of egg rolls because how do you eat Chinese food and NOT order an egg roll? Again, you can’t go wrong with an egg roll and the ones at China Lee are very good. I’ve had a few egg rolls at other Chinese joints that taste too much like pork… and not in a good way. The egg rolls here are very satisfactory. It kinda makes me want one right now.
Anywho, for quick and delicious Chinese food in the Metrowest/​Kirkman area, try Express China Lee. Yum!
