I wouldn't reccomend this place. Untimely delivery for at best mediocre food. And $12 per plate doesn't get you quality (or taste). I would suggest ordering your chinese food from a different place like Friendly's on 40th if you can.

*Rated on Take-Out* Get your Chinese food elsewhere folks really. Needed comfort foot because I am feeling under the weather. Ordered the large Wonton Egg Drop Soup, Chicken Wings & Fried Wontons. ALL had no flavor, but let’s start with the fried wontons. They were still a fairly light color, soggy, but I could tell even though they were in a container with no poked holes, they weren’t fried very long. I had to put them in the air fryer for 10 minutes to get them crispy and somewhat browned. I also had to sprinkle some salt because they tasted like flavorless dough. Next, the soup was VERY yellow and the dumplings were so thick, not enjoyable. I had to put salt and soy sauce because without it, the soup tasted like I was drinking straight warm egg whites. The fried chicken wings were definitely fried, but not flavor, while they were still hot in their container, had to sprinkle salt. Terrible.

My first time ordering food here. I ordered a large chicken with black bean sauce dish for $15, and the food came with very little chicken and so much onion (photo below). The chicken tasted plain too. The other reviewers seemed to back up my claim in regards to the onions. Luckily I did not give any extra delivery tips. They only accept cash. Not recommended.

My first time ordering food from this place in my neighborhood. If I can give this 0 stars I would!! My daughter really wanted lo mein noodles, and as skeptical as I was she really wanted it so I took a chance. As she was eating the leftovers today ( the next day) she found a roach leg in her food!!!! NEVER AGAIN!!

$10.25 for small plate of Pepper Steak w. onion. It’s only Pepper and Onion with a tiny rice. The menu clearly mark this dish as $8.25, which is obviously overpriced and the food itself is made carelessly.

There are a million places to get Chinese food in New York City and I suggest that you order from any one of them other than Sam Lee Kitchen. Sam Lee Kitchen recently gave me what was (without question) the worst delivery experience I've ever encountered when ordering food. To be fair, this one star review has nothing to do with the quality of the food. I couldn't tell you if their food is good or not, as I never got the meal that I ordered. It was a Wednesday afternoon when my girlfriend and I decided to order from Sam Lee. We were preparing to go to a concert later that evening and elected save time by ordering in. Little did we know that our decision to get delivery from Sam Lee Kitchen would actually make us late for the show. According to the timestamp on my phone, I placed my order at 5:51 pm. The woman who took my order was anything but polite. She spoke only broken English, which I have no problem with, except for the fact that she got frustrated with me for not being able to understand her. She kept shouting the same question over and over - each time I politely asked her to rephrase it, and each time she simply shouted back the same unintelligible phrase louder than before. Finally I deciphered the word "number" and realized she was asking for my room number. After an hour and a half (not an exaggeration) our food still had not arrived, so I called back. A different woman answered the phone, I gave her my information, and she told me the delivery driver had left just a minute earlier with my order. I double-checked Google Maps and (even with the traffic) it should have taken the driver no more than 10 minutes to make the drive. Thirty minutes went by and my food still had not arrived. At this point it had literally been two hours since placing my order. We had a show to go to, so I called the restaurant back to express my frustration and cancel my order. The gentleman who took my call was rude and pushy. Despite telling him that I had to go, he kept insisting that I "just wait a few more minutes". Finally, after telling him for the 5th time that I no longer wanted the food, I hung up the phone. Having to wait more than two hours for a $20 Chinese food order is frustrating enough. However, I would have understood if someone had simply made the effort to communicate with me. When placing my order, they could have told me they were busy and that I would have a lengthy wait. But what I am most frustrated by was the second phone call, wherein it was obvious that they lied to me about the status of my order. The ineptitude and dishonesty of the employees at Sam Lee Kitchen did more than just ruin our dinner, it screwed up our plans for the evening. In summary, it took Sam Lee Kitchen more than two hours to deliver $20 worth of food. Not only were they were rude when taking my order, but they flat out lied to me when I called 90 minutes later to check on the status of my order. I will never order from Sam Lee again.

Is it garbage? The food from this place, do not buy it? I regret being visited that place? In the end, I lost my money, I had to throw it away.

Truly wish there was a zero stars button. This wasn't bad food, it was horrible and worthy of a review. Do yourself a favor and try another spot. Shrimp texture felt odd like it wasn't real food, rice was clumpy, chicken had an after taste that was almost a soap like taste. Wish I read the reviews before ordering.

Horrible… as a visitor from another state service is disgusting. Man was rude. Food bland and an experience I wouldn’t do again

I got food delivered. It just wasn’t good. The plantains were dry. And tasteless. Beef and Chinese vegetables. Not very good. Spring roll Arrived with no duck sauce. Plus they tried to overcharge me almost $15. I had to call and go over the bill with the guy. An unsatisfying experience all around.

Super disappointed with this order. Ordered from grubhub with prices that were already more expensive than the regular menu. They gave mostly rice and very little meat. Like seriously it was a container full of rice. The egg rolls were horrible. They gave no duck sauce which meant I couldn’t even eat the container full of rice. My partner got general tsos which he didn’t enjoy cause it was dry. I got boneless spare ribs that were mostly sauce. The driver wouldn’t come to the door and had the nerve to call twice in less than 3 minutes. And he was in a car. I will never order from this place again. Just horrible.

DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY WITH THIS PLACE! I wish I had read the reviews because they are true. I ordered the large size beef fried rice and requested extra vegetables and extra Soy Sauce. What I received was a quart size box of RICE with tiny pieces of beef, 2-pack of Soy Sauce and no extra vegetables but it was only packed with ONIONS!!!! PLEASE READ REVIEWS BEFORE ORDERING FROM THIS PLACE!!!

The absolute worst. Got my order wrong and the correct items had no flavor. I can not eat meat and they added meat/shrimp to my items. Will also say I used uber eats and there were huge hidden fees.
