Love this place! The food is amazing, and the elderly woman who took my order went into the kitchen to cook a delicious meal. Places like this deserve more appreciation. I will definitely be coming here often from now on. Best! 🍶🍛🍘🍚🍙🥡🧧🇨🇳🥢🥮

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）。

Gear food, cheap prices Excellent service. We came here looking for a quick,nice, no-frills local Chinese dish and we found it. We ordered the orange chicken, walnut prawns and house chow menu. All great flavorful dishes. The orange chicken flavor was very fresh and you can taste the Orange zest. The prawns were lightly fried and the sauce was sweet ant tangy. The chow menu had all the right flavors and amounts of meat one would expect. Our server, most likely the owner es very friendly and made sure the food was to our liking at least three times during our visit. Will return for sure, very soon and try more dishes. May be my new favorite Chinese spot.

I stopped at Petco and on the way out of the parking lot, this store caught my attention. I decided to stop and grab take out. The man at the front was very nice and helpful, and my food was ready within 15 minutes, piping hot! I ordered the egg rolls (3), wonton soup, and the curry chicken. I spent about $31 including my tip. I felt bad as it was extremely hot out and the kitchen only has fans running. The front is cooler, but it must be so hot for them in the back. I was pleasantly surprised how big the portion of wonton soup was! The curry chicken was also a very large portion, too. The egg rolls had some brown spice inside I’ve never noticed before with other store’s egg rolls, but they were delicious with the given sauce. My only complaint about the curry chicken is there is a lot of celery in that dish, which I don’t love, however that’s just personal taste/preference. Do recommend Lee’s Kitchen!

PSA!!!! This place is delicious, professional and courteous. Placed an order for Orange Chicken and vegetable rice!!!! So fresh, made to order and satisfying. I wish the orange chicken was spicier. I was greeted and treated well when I walked in the door.

A local take out fast food Chinese restaurant. This Reagan’s has been serving Santa Clara area for over 30 years👍👍 During Covid-19, no dine in, take out only. Food is delicious! No complaints!

What a hidden gem! Food was excellent, especially the salt and pepper chicken wings and noodles. Service was great!

Excellent Chinese food, excellent service, no complaint. Ordered chicken with vegetables ~ Big portion of quantity. Hot and sour soup ~ It has all ingredient to make up hot and sour soup. If it is a bit more spicier, I hat would make it perfect. Will definitely come back to visit again.

Visiting Santa Clara and just so happened to stubble upon this place and I must say I’m so happy I did! From walking through the door to leaving the service was amazing. Susan helped us and I can’t say enough about her she was so welcoming and sweet made sure we had everything we needed and more. This place is a must try! Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

Food here at Lee’s Kitchen is fresh, plentiful, and served piping hot. We have been here twice in a year and so far the food hasn’t disappointed. The staff are friendly. The dine in experience could use an update as there are faded pictures of the played food on the wall

This is a small mom-and-pop shop the food is excellent the prices are reasonable, it's not a fancy place just a few tables inside for sit down I usually get takeout and they've never disappointed

The food is crisp and delicious. The shrimp came untailed—great portions for price. Eager to please staff. Easy ordering experience. Per my 7 year old “this is definitely a 5 star restaurant”

Update: If you want less salt ,or soy etc..just let them know. I require very little salt and they go far and beyond to accommodate. That’s why I go there. I haven’t been here in a while. Decent meals. Bigger portions. 1970’s back in the day. I remember growing up with them when they were a few hundred feet away from their original spot. It’s okay quality, as always, post wherever u end up whether 50 years ago u remember or today. A decent place to have lunch.

We ordered chicken corn soup, house boss chow fen, and green bean beef. The food reminds me of Cantonese American style Chinese food. Food was good, flavors not over powering. Prices are fair and portions are decent. There was no soap in the woman’s restroom. Service and staff were attentive.

We discovered this down to earth restaurant that serves American Chinese/Cantonese cuisine because I had a craving for walnut shrimp. At the time I had yet to find a place around here that served an iteration that I liked, but I have finally found it! I was super impressed by the Walnut Prawns here! The prawns were encased in a delightfully light and crispy batter with sweetened mayonnaise, and it was the exact taste and texture that I had been missing all this time. Even the walnuts sprinkled on top were deliciously crunchy and sweet! I was hoping that they would also have this Dry Stir-Fried Green Beans dish that you can typically find at a Cantonese restaurant. Though it is not on their menu, I was so happy when they told us they could make it! Their version is a little saucier, but the green beans were wok-fried to perfection and the sauce was flavorful with chopped preserved mustard stems and sliced chilies. The curry beef was also exactly what we were looking for as well; tender slices of beef plus a mix of bell peppers, onions, and celery wok-fried to the perfect texture and mixed with a fragrant curry sauce. Paired perfectly with rice! Happy to have found a place that serves the comfort food that I love. Looking forward to getting more Walnut Prawns and trying more dishes!

Tried this place for the first time. Orange chicken was good. The hot and sour soup was also good. They give you plenty of food for your money. My only gripe is that my fried rice had nothing in it except being fried. I will try this place again in the near future and give my final verdict. Service: The wife and husband combo runs the place. The wife runs the register, serves, and answers the phone. The husband cooks the food in the back. They had me waiting at the register for a couple of minutes due to someone on the phone. Ambience: It's definitely a hole in the wall. Decor was very outdated. Typical Chinese restaurant where they were prepping the veggies on one of the tables. It's probably because there is no room in the kitchen. Amenities: There's a restroom in the back. I didn't use it, so I can't give any feedback. Parking is shared with a plaza.

I would probably rate this one a 3.5 star if I could, but it was good enough to get a 4 instead of a 3 star. We ordered here for the first time and didn't know what to expect so we ordered a bunch of different items. The lady at the front was hilarious and was super nice, so the service was great. We usually go to Panda Express but it's the same thing all the time and we wanted to try something new. We found this one on Google Maps and the reviews were pretty good. Overall the food was good, it wasn't amazing or great, but for Chinese food, it hit the spot. Now that we tried a few things we would probably order differently because we had a ton left over (that's a good thing) and we didn't put a dent in it. We will definitely be back here. Its not great, but it's good enough.

Great value! Will be coming back regularly! I had this restaurant on my cheap eats list for a long time and finally tried it out! Reviewers were correct, you get a LOT of food! In my picture you can see that each dish fills in a 4 cup pyrex container and even overflows a little over the top! AMAZING! Chicken dishes are all about $8.99 and beef is $9.75. There is nothing special or unique about the taste of food here, but its definitely a little better than average! Especially their beef! it is so tender! some places the beef can be hard to chew or even dry :) Picture: left to right, cashew chicken, mongolian beef, kung pao chicken (ignore my bread bag in the background ;p) Also service was good :) ordered over the phone and ready in 15 minutes :)

The fried rice is VERY YUMMY!!! WE LOVED IT!!! The chow main was good too, but not as much flavoring. Just add some salt and pepper and chilli and you're good. I loved the prawns. Very good pricing!!

I was expecting authentic Chinese-style beef noodle soup, but what I got was a disappointing, flavorless dish. The menu didn’t specify that it was Cantonese-style, and even if it was, it lacked depth—just tasted like dumpling soup with some floury, salty meat. The beef didn’t even taste like real beef, more like a mixed mystery meat, which was pretty gross. When I brought it up, they wouldn’t even offer to replace the whole dish… This place is not authentic Chinese food—it’s more like an overpriced Panda Express but worse. The target customers don’t seem to be Chinese, and as someone who is, I definitely won’t be coming back.
