Lee's Take Out & Delivery Service - Hamilton, Ontario

Very convenient and nice spot to grab a plate if you’re near by or just living in the neighborhood, food looks vibrant, eggroll is huge, tempuras are amazing here.
Most negative reviews feel like people who are just entitled, one is complaining about their DoorDash driver even though that has nothing to do with the restaurant, don’t think he’s smart enough to realize but that made me want to leave a review to justify this place

Ok, just hating all of the reviews.
Here's my view. I ordered an egg roll. It was amazing, with bean sprouts in it. Unlike the egg roll I ordered from the more popular store in University Plaza. The egg roll I ordered from them was not an egg roll. It was full of sour cabbage that made me literally gag. I ordered a won ton soup, it was a delicious bowl of traditional won ton soup. The proprietor of this restaurant is in his eighties. They speak broken English. So, repeat your order to them. If you want traditional Chinese food and no surprise this is your happy place. I do agree the frozen tunnel shrimp are terrible. They used to make battered shrimp. They were amazing. But aging takes a toll. Give them a break. It's a wonderful traditional Chinese food take out run by two very lovely seniors. Beautiful people.

Lee’s chinese food is not just terrible for their food but also their service. I ordered 3 seperate food dishes. i paid $60, once i opened it all the containers which is CARBOARD were all soggy and food was falling out the container in the bag. i couldnt even open my food without food dripping out of one end which eventually ended up on the floor. Once i called and told what happened all the lady said was “I dont know”. The woman was ignorent and didnt speak one word of english.

We've ordered here before and usually it's pretty good, this time we were not impressed sadly. The food was very bland, we ordered the General Tso's chicken and the Orange beef which were both not very good, the General Tso's had zero heat to it and the orange beef sauce was interesting to say the least. I ordered 2 orders of the sweet and sour shrimp, thinking it was traditional style, I even called back to enure it was breaded shrimp not the panko torpedo style they have now and was assured it was breaded traditional style, only to find out once we got the order it was the panko torpedo style 🙁 I'm sure there's better options in Hamilton, we'll be trying somewhere else next time.

Who would have thought the best Hot & Sour soup in the world is made a block away from where I live?

I've tried it in dozens of restaurants in a half dozen different cities, but this is the best.

All other food is generous with meat and delicious... very pleased with the special Egg Foo Young I tried for the first time today.

God bless them!

Don't waste your time and money on this. It's very overpriced and the food is quite bland and tasteless. Also, the portions are awful. I ordered a beef noodle dish and there was practically no meat and just cheap, mediocre noodles. Very expensive and not worth it. Got takeout so I assume deliveries are going to be worse if this is what they serve in person

Ordered through a delivery service. The lemon chicken was a dry deep fried chicken breast with half a cut lemon. The egg rolls were inedible. The beef chowmein consisted of 5 tasteless little pieces of tough meat and watery bean sprouts. The wonton soup was tasteless as well. The chicken fried rice and the little sweet and sour battered pork(?) were at least edible. Most wiĺ be thrown out. Perhaps if you order spicy foods that I've never tried it would be better, but I won't chance it. Years ago their food was way better. Not now unfortunately.

We have had Lee’s Chinese Food on Main Street West in Hamilton over the years and it has always been fresh and hot. We ordered takeout Sunday and it was delicious. It is a small family run business and the owners are lovely. The dinner was $49 for 3 with leftovers
