One of the better Lee’s locations in the city. Much cleaner and pleasant compared to other nearby locations. Food is inexpensive and pretty good. Salad buffet is finally back after the pandemic. Pretty good breakfast options too.

It’s a good work time - lunch spot. Good food at a good price.

Lee's Deli truly deserves a five-star ratingLee's Deli in downtown SF is a long-standing favorite that continues to impress. The friendly and efficient staff, along with their unbeatable dim sum and sandwiches, make it a must-visit. I recently tried their frozen dim sum, which can be conveniently ordered online and delivered to your doorstep. The quality and flavor were exceptional, and the value was outstanding. With their responsive customer service and commitment to supporting local businesses.

don't waste your money here, food is terrible. wish I could give 0 starstried dim sum, and some hot food items. only decent item was the egg custard bun.

Nice that this place is open again sans pandemic however it is a only half as stocked. It only has hot Chinese food now. they no longer have a fresh salad bar form which to build your own salads. I asked but they said they have that at market st location.

Just the place if you want a super quick lunch, especially if you work nearby. They have assorted dumplings and noodles. The outside seating is nicer. I like to sit facing the water fountain

Really hot inside, expensive. When I arrived they appeared to be consolidating the hot items, didn’t change the labels so I bought some dumplings thinking they were shrimp only to bite in and find out they were dessert. Frustrating after paying so much for them. No bathrooms inside

I only got the dim sum and it was good. It’s not the conventional cart format but I do like how I can get my food immediately by picking it out at the table. I was surprised by how good the egg custard bun was since I’ve never had a good one before. The bun was soft and plump and they didn’t skimp out on the filling.
I have always liked Lee’s deli, I’d never been to this location. I could see that they are far from pre-pandemic excellence. I’ll try to be gentle… you could see the food wasn’t fresh. It looked as everything was left over and warmed over… It taste and had left over texture. They were polite but the food should be “FRESH”…. If not, it’s easy to see and taste…Its the worst I’ve ever had… ? Good luck!

The cheapest and tastiest Ramen in the neighborhood The bone broth was sweat and creamy, the noodles were tossed fresh upon ordered, the Japanese pickles were always a joy to crunch on. Being an Asian, I appreciated how the business owner went beyond the strict definition of a ramen bowl to add an abundant amount of boiled vegetables ? and even swap in those lovely tender pieces of char siu BBQ ? as I wished.All in all, it costed me $10. I would not find such affordable food anywhere else in this increasingly expensive neighborhood of SoMA.

Most of the staff at this Lee's have been at the same location for many years and couldn't be nicer. The food is a tremendous value for SF and a great spot to pick up a quality breakfast or lunch. Go by and say hello!

We came to this spot for dinner. This place was recommended to us by a friend. Well, it was very nice. The crew were extremely nice and we felt good. The meal was tasty. We enjoyed every moment and we will definitely return to this restaurant. Recommended.
