Maybe it was just a bad day, or Covid has forced them to use lower-quality ingredients, but my last visit was pretty disappointing. My family's been eating here for ~15 years as our go-to Chinese takeout restaurant. We've collectively agreed to start trying new places, though, because Lee's has changed their recipes/ingredients over the years to the point that it's no longer tastes like it used to. Here are some takeaways from our last visit:
The rice is still good!
I like the fortune cookies better now than before. They used to be more proverbial, but now they're more "mysterious future readings," sort of.
We haven't tried their Thai dishes, so maybe it's just the Chinese recipes that are weak. Or, maybe it's the meats in general?
Definitely stay away from the beef dishes for now. The meat had a very weird chewiness to it and I wretched a bit trying to eat it. The chicken was amazingly...

I requested onions be left out of 2 dishes, and they were.
I ordered the Mongolian Delight lunch special with Egg Drop Soup and an order of chicken fried rice in case i didn't like that.
Portion sizes are good.
The meats have no flavor. They don't taste like they had any seasoning added during cooking. Everything is cooked nicely but a little seasoning would bring out the flavor of the meat.
Also, plenty of chicken and beef...but it was supposed to be chicken, beef and shrimp...and there were only 2 shrimps...
I was not happy that they didn't provide me with any napkins or eating utensils. I ordered this for lunch during work and didn't bring my...
