Lee's Kitchen

Sweet lady who helped answer any question along with just providing a home feeling. I tried the Almond chicken lunch special with chow mein ($+2) and it was sauced perfectly and not heavily soy sauced with tender chicken and my daily veggie intake. Also large lunch portion. It's better than many other fast Chinese around my office.

We tried to order online, but we got the message that the restaurant was too busy to take orders so our order was cancelled. My credit card was charged twice anyhow. We walked over to order in person. The restaurant was not busy at all. Our order was ready in ten minutes. We did not receive utensils with our order, even though we asked. The food was just ok. Two of the items were supposed to come with sauces but they weren't included.

Mid food. And they got one of my orders wrong. Nice staff though.Ordered chicken fried rice, walnut shrimp, orange chicken, egg flower soup (but they gave me sweet and sour soup), and stir fried green beans.The best one was the green beans. And then the shrimp of course!But everything else was bland. It looks good but bland.I've had plenty of cheap gourmet Chinese food of this style, and this place is okay if you have a craving for Chinese. But compared to something like China Kitchen in Hayward or other options around Santa Clara, i would consider other places unless they add a bit of flavor to their main dishes

There was no wait time Staff was very Friendly Food was greatA hole in a wall (mom-and-pop shop)

I found Lee's Kitchen on Yelp because I was searching for a Chinese food place that offered party trays for my son's birthday party. I love that this is a family run restaurant and that they've been open for years. Having worked with them for our party needs, I can see why they've been open for as long as they have. You can order your party trays in one of two ways: stopping by the store in person or giving them a call. Their party tray prices are reasonable and competitive with other stores in the area, and depend on the tray size. If you order in store (which is what we ended up doing since we haven't been to the restaurant before prior to placing this order), they have a price list with some common party tray dishes and their prices. They can also customize things that are not on the party tray menu (ie. if you want something from their regular menu turned into a party tray size/portion). We paid a small deposit after placing our party tray order, and came back a few days before the party to pay the remaining balance. They typically open on Saturday at 11:30am. Even though our party was on a Saturday at 10am (early for Chinese food, I know), they were willing to have the party trays ready for pick up by 10am. I left my parents' name as the pick-up person, since my husband and I would be busy with hosting the party. Come the day of the party, the food was ready as promised at 10am, and my parents had no issues with picking up the order.We ordered their: yang chow fried rice, chicken chow mein, mongolian beef, sweet and sour chicken, and vegetable combination party trays. Each dish arrived to the venue nice and hot. Each dish had a lot of good flavor and wasn't overly salty or oily. We were pleasantly surprised that the meat dishes weren't full of "fillers" (ie. veggies, sauce, etc). There was literally tons of meat. We had some guests who are allergic to nuts, and the restaurant confirmed that they use vegetable oil only.Their party tray portions were so much that my husband and I had food for the entire week after the party. This is after we packed some food for some of the guests to take home. We may be a bit tired of Chinese food for now, but we definitely plan to be back and highly recommend Lee's Kitchen for everyone's party food needs!Parking is easy and plentiful. It's shared with other stores in the plaza.

This is a mom and pop restaurant serving authentic Chinese food. Great tasty good with good portion sizes, not too salty or oily. Service is fantastic! The owner is extremely friendly and warm.Nice ambience too with 8 tables total for indoor seating. They have delivery on Fantuan and Happy Panda. I ordered the salt and pepper pork chops (spicy), pork wontons, beef and green bean, beef hefen (干炒牛河）。

It was my first time to Lee's Kitchen today and I'm very happy with my order. I used to work for small business owners of a long time Chinese takeout in the Sacramento area and I haven't found another place that makes so many dishes similar to theirs. I'm glad to have found this place because the dish I got today was excellent and just as I was hoping it would taste. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu items in the future.

We were starving and craving Chinese food driving all over the place and this place just popped up immediately a wonderful atmosphere wonderful service fantastic food our server is very courteous and friendly definitely be going back again it's going to become a regular spot I can tell

The service was very welcoming, they took my order quick and told me it would just be 10 min. Not bad! I ordered the chicken chow mein, broccoli beef lunch special with fried rice, shrimp wonton soup, and egg flower soup. It was ready within the 10 minutes so I appreciated the quick service. Maybe it was just lunch but I felt like the chow mein and broccoli beef were missing something. The flavors were kind of bland but the portions were huge. I liked the soups though, we really enjoyed the egg flower soup. I was a fan of the shrimp wonton, they really packed it full of wonton! I'm not entirely sure I would come back but I'm glad I tried it. The service and portions definitely made up for the flavors. It just so happened to be when we were recovering from the flu and were really craving Chinese food so we were disappointed it didn't quite hit the spot. Definitely try it out, maybe it was just us! :)

Oh, what a day. We were having sewer lateral work done at our house and decided to escape for a day and night. Using points, I found a hotel that accepted dogs and booked a room in Santa Clara. As we were leaving the house, I noticed that one of my tires was badly worn on one side. We had just taken a road trip, and a pre-trip inspection showed that we had about 5,000 miles of tread left. After some discussion, we decided to replace all four tires and get it over with, cutting into our time down in Santa Clara. So instead of checking in and then going around to explore places to eat, we decided to grab some food and take it to our hotel room. We wanted something simple and easy. Yelp took us to Lee's Kitchen. It's located in a shopping center with mostly Asian businesses. Lee's itself is pretty unassuming, Glass front, dining at the front, order counter in the middle, kitchen in the back. I had a craving for Chow Fun so I ordered:House Boss Chow Fun - 3 - The best way to make Chow Fun is with fresh fun that has never been refrigerated. Once it's gone into the fridge, the noodles then do get really firm and stick together. There are a couple of techniques to soften and separate the noodles, but they involve using hot water and this also changes the texture. Noodles that are not refrigerated will quickly go bad and become unusable. The chow fun here, had it been made with fresh noodles probably would have been a 5* experience. Unfortunately, they were a little clumpy in places and firm in others. However, the beef was tender, the shrimp were cooked perfectly, the chicken and bbq pork added flavor. I like to use Hot Chinese Mustard when I'm having Dry-Fried Chow Fun and that really upped the flavors. Salt and Pepper Pork Chops - 4 - Not particularly Salty nor Peppery, yet still very good to eat. Chinese Chicken Salad - 4 - This was an easy 4, on the cusp of 5. It probably would have worked better had we had it in restaurant instead of having to drive to our hotel. Presented in a large take-out box with its flaps open, the heat from the chicken wilted the lettuce a bit. Didn't cook it but changed the texture. The flavors were still on point. We would order it again.We're going to assume that this is a family run restaurant, mom, dad and son. They were all very friendly and personable. While we were waiting for our order, I brought our dog to the front of the restaurant and introduced her to the son, who also has a dog at home.
