Lee's Kitchen — Restaurant in City of Yonkers

Please, read this before you make another purchase!

This is not an exaggeration.

For years, I was a clueless patron of L & T Chinese 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 sink near the stove. Now, my curiosity was piqued! I watched like a hawk sizing up his prey.

The cook 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 ( My heart felt like it dropped!) This was the same part of the sink where I would 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 sick 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!

They should be driven out of the community!

This is not an exaggeration!

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

Thank you, for...

I walked in here on a Friday night at 7PM..the whole staff was sitting down doing nothing..(the cook was in the back sitting on a milk crate reading his cell phone and the two people at the front counter were looking bored)..it seemed a little odd that they weren't busy making food on a Friday night, no phone ringing, etc. Now I know why. I ordered a large sweet and sour chicken and large pork fried rice to go. I got home and attempted to eat dinner but the food was absolutely terrible. The chicken was like rubber, way over cooked and greasy. I tried to eat it because I was starving but I couldn't. I threw the whole thing right in the garbage....

Have gone to buy a few times since the new owners. It's terrible! I went there yesterday brought 2 orders of chicken wings n half a chicken with the pork fried no onions. The chicken looked old n rice dry very dark n a few pieces of pork. My husband n I try eating it. My dog got a little piece of chicken n within 10 minutes thew up her dog food n the chicken. Threw the food out n never going there again. I miss the previous owners very much hope...
