We were craving some Asian food during our stay in town and I'm glad we found this place. The food tasted fresh and delicious, service was spot on. My favorite dish was walnut shrimp and salt pepper fish. Portions were surprisingly big too. This place exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it.
A friend and I were at Lee's three days ago. I'd had their food before and thought it was pretty good, but this time was anything but. A long wait to be seated, another long wait for someone to take our order...and it's not as though they were busy, only a few tables were occupied. (I guess that should've been my clue - it was lunchtime.) The food came pretty quickly, but that's the best I can say about it. The flavors weren't very interesting - fairly bland overall. And the amount of oil in almost every dish was truly shocking; even the fried rice needed to be drained. On the plus side, they did remember extra lemon for my water. Needless to say, I won't be coming back.

Just for fun we've been touring and trying all of the Chinese restaurants in the Monterey Peninsula area. By far and away this place ranks right up there, for the quality of food and service, the extreme cleanliness of the restaurant itself, and the location, which is easy to find and offers plenty of parking as well. We went of the Lunch special and both had Kung Pau Chicken. The servings were so generous. Preceded by soup and egg rolls and a pot of nice hot tea, we were delighted with the large serving platess and the delicious lunch. It was served piping hot, fresh from the kitchen and service was personal and with a smile. We felt every effort was made to attend to us and twice the hostess and the waitress came by our table to ask how we liked everything and if we needed anything. Many regulars come in while we were enjoying our lunch, many to pick up their take away and the hostess seemed to know them all by name. This is a spacious shopping center restaurant with an established presence in Marina and we will be back again soon!

My go-to place for wonton soup to-go, which my son absolutely loves. Staff is friendly.Parking: Plenty of free, strip mall parking. Often you can park literally five steps away from the entrance to the restaurant.

The service was great and I appreciated that they gave my toddler a special plate and utensils. The restaurant itself is clean and has very pretty decorations. The food was okay. Not the best I've had, but not the worst. It was very oily and only one of our dishes was hot. The garlic chicken had good flavor, but the chow fun was room temp and not super flavorful.

Took my mother there for her birthday. The food, service and atmosphere were great. My mother had a wonderful 84th birthday.
Words cannot explain how much I love Lee's Garden. The combination chow mein, mushroom chicken, chicken wings, mongolian beef, salt & pepper spare ribs, to die for. I order delivery to school. I order delivery when I want to have a good day. The staff is very nice and once they told me I had pretty lips. It is calm and homey in the restaurant, they have new cute custom dinnerware stuff, and last time I went I saw Lee's Garden tote bag. 100/10 best food in Marina.

The Kung Pao tofu is so buttery and flavorful though I wish it was a bit spicier. The vegetable chow mein is delicious and I enjoyed the vegetable fried rice as well. The lunch specials are a good deal but I wish the portions were bigger.

The food was bad. And the prices on the menu aren’t what was actually charged. They charged me 18 dollars for a meal that was supposedly 12 dollars. Overcharged for a lame meal.
Food needs to be a little better. Doesn't have that super hot wok flavor.
