Best Lee's

Ok, well new to Rio Rancho, I'm trying out all the nearby Chinese restaurants. The second I tried was Best Lee's. I had the pepper steak lunch special which was good considering the very affordable price of $7.65. The food was hot and tasty, the vegetables were still crispy, but the beef was a little bit chewy. It didn't bother me too much, I just think that the meat wasn't velveted. The hot and sour soup broth was good but would have been better if it had mushrooms, black fungus, and more tofu. It is hard to find a decent spring roll anywhere these days, so I can't expect theirs to be any better than the rest. It seems like some critical reviews expect Best Lee's to be perfect but they need to consider that the excellent lunch prices don't break the bank. I will be back for lunch but think that a chicken or pork dish would be more tender. What really disappoints me is that corporate franchises like KFC, Church's, Subway, and Mc Donald's, etc. have raised their prices through the roof even though the quality of their food and their customer service have gone downhill. This has made it hard to return to any of them. Best Lee's may not be the best but they are good, have my respect, will recommend, and I will definitely come back. We need more, not less, honest, reasonably priced, and locally owned restaurants like this.

THE BEST hot and sour soup... period!Living around the area for years Best Lee's has always been an easy choice. The mark of a staple is when half the tables are regular customers. The staff is wonderful and the service is quick. The portions are huge, especially for the price. It's not fancy, just yummy Chinese food... and don't forget the hot and sour soup!

Food was terrible it all tasted old and gross. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Terrible and it's a struggle to find any good Chinese food in RR

Wow. Ive eaten, (delivery) here about three other times in the last year. My husband, myself and my adult kids like the food. However....last night for dinner we ordered delivery from Best Lee's again; i got hot and sour soup because i was sick with a cold and wanted something really hot with chile. Ive eaten hot and sour soup at other restaurants and i always love it. I also got the pu pu platter. My husband got hot and sour soup too and got the extra hot and got orange beef. My daughter got shrimp lomein.The food came very quickly. So quickly that we couldnt believe it. When i opened up my pu pu platter i just stared at it.Everything in it was VERY over cooked. I couldn't even tell what i was eating.I wish i had taken a picture of it like i usually do when i write yelp reviews. There were what looked like chicken on skewers. Im not exaggerating when i say they looked exactly like beef jerky. I tried to chew one but couldnt lol.Honestly we figured that they had leftovers and just refried them.Some of the items were black, that's how burnt they were.The hot and sour soup had ZERO heat. None. Nada. And there wasnt anything in it. Just broth and a few small pieces of todu The ribs had turned to jerky. The butterflied shrimp was the only half way edible things on the plate and the coating was very dark and very crispy.Im not sure what the heck happened. It was absolutely awful. Ive never written a yelp review like this but...YIKES. Not good in any way, shape or form.

We don't order food often, but when we order Chinese this is our place. Portions are good, food is always fresh and it's usually delivered within 30 minutes. The General Yao's chicken is pretty good--they use chicken breasts and it's very crispy...not greasy...and the sauce has a nice flavor. Beef with broccoli is always a solid choice. I've only had the hot and sour soup so I can't attest to any of the others. I've yet to find Chinese food that blows my mind, but this is a reliable option.

Tonight, being the #GreatAmericanTakeOut2, we decided to go to Best Lee's, which is close to our house. Their hot and sour soup is one of our family's favorites, for when someone has a cold. And you can bet we got some. We also got a Family Special D, which has Teriyaki chicken, Wonton soup, General Tso's chicken, chicken with broccoli and shrimp with garlic sauce. Also, pork lo mein. This included rice. Their menu says it feeds five, but we think it would feed more. You've got to give this place a try, especially if you're doing #ShelterAtHome.#FlattenTheCurve #TakeOutTuesdayUPDATE: 4/4/2020Best Lee's is temporarily closed until after the Coronavirus has gone. No pickups. No deliveries.

The food fits the price . The staff is nice. Call in orders and speed of service is always consistent .

Jen is the Best in Lee's. 10 years my family and I eat here! Call ahead! Food is hot and fresh. Service is excellent Dine in or carry out!

Found this awesome restaurant by accident. Best find ever! Their Hot and Sour soup is the best I've had in a long time! I had the Garlic Sauce pork and was pleasantly surprised at the large portion containing lots of perfectly cooked vegetables and pork in an absolutely delicious sauce. There was so much food that I took the rest home. Reheated, it was as delicious and awesome as originally served. This is definitely my go-to place from now on, no matter what!

The service was so nice, a little slow,but that's only because they are low staffed. It's a very peaceful eating experience. Food is top notch Chinese food
