L & T Chinese Kitchen — Restaurant in City of Yonkers

DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS!

What I saw happening in the kitchen of this restaurant may cause some of you to......

For years, I was a clueless patron of L & T Chinese Kitchen (Note: Also listed as Lee's Kitchen]). Service was always with a smile. The food seemed fine to me; nothing spectacular, just your average Chinese fast food.

As chance would have it, I ventured into the location one day to place an order. While standing there waiting for my order to be filled, a worker gathering the trash caught my attention. When it involved food, I pay close attention. When the worker removed the trash bag from the receptacle, he took it towards the open back door (My thought was that the dumpster was back there). However, the trash bag never made it to the back door, but it did make it into deep basin part of the sink; near the stove. Now, my curiosity was piqued! I watched like a hawk sizing up his prey.

The worker then began taking items out of the bag, with a ladle and placing them in the shallow part of the sink, and these weren't cans and bottles either; it was discarded food ( My heart felt like it dropped!) This was the same part of the sink where I would often see the cook reach to get food to place in the wok, on the stove. Another worker noticed me watching and said something to the cook. The cook then walked away from the sink. Both of them kept glancing at me. The woman at the front counter heard them talking in Chinese, and she started intermittently glancing at me too. The delivery guy did the same thing after walking in and hearing what had happened. I believe that they all knew that that was my last time there; ever. They just weren't sure as to what I would do next.

Time will not change what had transpired there. They lost my trust completely.

Buyer beware!!!

This is a violation of the health code. These people should have been out of business; as customers could become violently I'll or worse, because of this disgusting practice! They care only about profitability; however, they care nothing about your health.

Think food poisoning; think people with illnesses not finishing their meal at this location. The illness is yours now!

These people practices are disgusting and disgraceful; and they should be driven out of the community!

This is not an exaggeration!

Ignore this if you want; but, you have been warned.

The most horrible Chinese food I have tasted😖 I went there because the other restaurant that is close by isn't that good and the other one I frequent, but love, I hate the parking on the weekend, because the strip mall has very little parking. The strip mall where they are located has ample parking so that why I decided to go there. Very clean, neat, and very friendly staff. The ambiance is delightful, but the food was frightful! I ordered sparebrib tips with pork fried rice. It was 7.00, reasonable price, bit no free soda. I went to indulge because I figured this is about to be delicious because of how rhe restaurant presented itself....WRONG! No sauce on the rib tips, they were very dry. The rice almost looked like brown rice, it was okay but I've had better. I Will never go back to this business again just because...

I have been getting Chinese food from here since 1994 when I was in 9th grade going to school at Roosevelt Highschool and going here for lunch. I've seen at least two different owners of this place in my time living in the area. I've moved and have lived in different states since, and now have moved back to NY and live close to the area again, I am so happy that this place is still here. Brings back good memories, and good Chinese food and all the fun crazy times I had at Roosevelt Highschool. This place is strictly take out, though they do have some tables if you want to eat there. But don't expect it to be 5 star dining. Fast, good and affordable Chinese fast food. If you're expecting more, then expect to be disappointed. As for me, no complaints. I'm glad this place, Dunkin Donuts and Carlos is still in the area after all...
