Ordered dinner from Lee's while vacationing. All the food was so flavorful and fresh! Definitely will be our go to place when we are visiting Monterey.
Clean restaurant, was seated right away, and had decent service. I've had a few black bean noodles around San Jose, and this is actually the best one I've had in terms of flavor. Adding chili sauce (the one in the jar) really elavated the taste. I appreciate the noodles and sauce coming separately because I was able to bring the sauce home and have a second meal over rice. Despite that, I can see someone finding the portion rather small if they ordered this during dinner time.
Full transparency, we ordered: Almond chicken, Sweet & Sour Pork, shrimp fried rice, and pot stickers, along with a can of ginger ale and a can of Dr Pepper our total was $60. The portions are definitely shareable sizes. We didn't know that so we unfortunately ordered way too much. But nonetheless, the food was good. We will probably be back. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean and quiet.
Food was made to order, nice and hot not overly salty. Crispy duck has lots of tiny bone, seems like it was not chop properly. Service was great but food took longer to come out as more customers came in. Ambiance of the setting more for family style. Noise level is a little louder. The build seems more older so when you step in you can smell the carpet smell.
The service was great and I appreciated that they gave my toddler a special plate and utensils. The restaurant itself is clean and has very pretty decorations. The food was okay. Not the best I've had, but not the worst. It was very oily and only one of our dishes was hot. The garlic chicken had good flavor, but the chow fun was room temp and not super flavorful.
