Eddy Lee's may look a little tired and old-fashioned, thanks to being well-established and in a strip mall, but there is nothing tired about the food. We bought a take-out dinner for two. It was cooked from scratch so there was a wait, but considering we did not phone this order in, that wasn't a problem for us. The food was delicious; every ingredient fresh. The most tender beef chop suey I've ever had, very tasty. Couldn't have had MSG in because I had no headache. The chicken balls were perfect. The rice was perfect. The egg roll was incredibly tasty, but quite different: Faintly curried taste. Also different: No peas in the rice--a definite plus for people who hate peas.
Restaurant was plain but clean and the staff were pleasant, professional and well-organized.
We will definitely stop looking for the perfect Chinese restaurant in Thunder Bay, now that we've found Eddy Lee's. Top quality food,...
Read moreIt is a very quiet location with the customer service been very good and quick! The prices were not bad and I did like how clean it was.
I opted to take my food to go and it was a dinner combination. It was the Chicken Fried Rice, the Chicken Chop Suey and the Honey Garlic Spareribs. Everything came up to $20 which was a good amount for how much food you recieved.
After taking it home and opening, I was very disappointed. The Honey Garlic Spareribs were lacking any actual flavor, rather most of it came from the sauce being used. The Chicken Fried Rice was very bland and the Chicken Chop Suey had no real seasoning.
I would recommend not coming here unless they did take some time and more preparation with their dishes. I have tried their ribs before and liked it but this was something else. I know there's potential for this restaurant to improve but now they are sorely lacking in terms of flavor...
Read moreI recently ordered takeout from Eddy Lee’s, choosing their beef and green peppers dish along with a side of steamed rice. While the customer service was commendable and the ambience seemed inviting, the food fell short of expectations. I had specifically requested the beef to be extra spicy, but what I received was more akin to a beef stew loaded with green peppers and doused in hot sauce.
For a dish priced at $22, I was surprised to see that the portion size was significantly smaller than the $4 side of steamed rice. It’s confusing how the steamed rice, meant to be a side, ended up being larger than the main dish. This disproportionate serving size was disappointing, especially considering the price.
Overall, Eddy Lee’s felt more like a westernized version of a Chinese restaurant, lacking the authentic flavors I was hoping for. Despite the good customer service, I can’t say I’ll be a...
