I really love this place. I grew up as a child eating Chef Lee's when they were in another location. I had their beef and broccoli the other day, and this was awesome. This has got to be the best Chinese restaurant in Columbus Georgia. The atmosphere is also great and the service is great as well.

We were pleasantly surprised at the aesthetic of the restaurant. It was welcoming and smelled fantastic. We went during lunch so it was fairly busy. We were seated quickly and Yong waited on us. She was warm and inviting, attentive and made sure we were comfortable and everything was to our liking. We had General Tsu and House Chicken and they were very delightful. The crab rangoon was scrumptious and flavored to perfection with the warm and creamy cream cheese. The house chicken wasn’t too dry and was flavorful with the perfect amount of spice and sauce. I was thrilled that my fortune cookie resonated so perfectly ? highly recommend for a pleasant oriental experience.

Back in the day Chef Lee's was the standard here in Columbus. A couple of years ago, thier food was not good to be honest. And after a few bad experiences, I wrote them off and vowed never to return. However, a few of my pals said they recently had a great meal from there. I took the chance. Peking fried rice and Mongolian beef was top notch. Took me back to the 90s when they were on B.V. Road with the bridge over the pond......O.g. C-Towners get it. Pls keep the food at this standard.

They used to be SO GOOD. Under new owners .....ummmmm not so good....they no longer serve tea with their meals, the taste & quality of their food was below standard as to what they used to serve...I do believe this is because of new ownership & management....

What a beautiful restaurant! If you're not coming for the food, then come to feed their lovely Koi fish! We ordered the almond fried chicken and Mongolian beef. Both were fresh, hot and tasted great! The crab rangoons were my personal favorite. Will definitely be

A delightfully old fashioned Chinese restaurant for the dine in experience. While there were a lot of delivery orders you all are really missing out if you don't come eat here. Very large dining room complete with a wall of water complements the kitch but adorable decor. The menu is massive which usually makes me nervous but I ordered the hot pot which they tout as a specialty and it delivered. This place would make for a fun date night.
I saw on the Google reviews a dish I wanted but not sure what it was called. I let the staff take my phone for a second to ask the chef and it was Hot Pot. They was nice about it and to check on what it is. It's super good! $17 but the bowl is deep! You can easily share with 2 people.Beef is super tender and easy to chew. I love the veggies in it. Cabbage, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and onions. Also the peppers. The broth was super amazing! Spicy but smooth. I could eat it all by myself.The staff was super sweet and helped me figure out the photo of this dish I saw on Google review. They helped out greatly. Thank you! Super good!

We eat here, mostly takeout these days, a couple of times a month. They know us by name and the food is almost always perfect. The staff is always kind and courteous. Plus it’s one of the few places my 5 year old will eat all of his dinner from.

We have been eating at to Chef Lee's for 30 years.. food was always fresh and delicious. With new owners, everything has changed and the Chef Lee's we once enjoyed is no more. Quality of food and service have both declined. Frozen egg rolls have replaced what was once freshly made. We have stopped eating there due to the changes. It is now a cheap version of the resturant that Chef Lee spent years to build up.. very disappointing.

This place needs remodeling. The carpet is filty and the silverware was nasty I literally had to ask for plastic ware. This place is the same as it was 25 years ago. No updates in the decor , service or the food. It's cheap food you could get better in the frozen section at the nearest grocery store. It's a shame this place is still in business. Also check their health department score. You'll find It's in your best interest to find another restaurant. BTW, did I mention I jad diarrhea after eating their so called rice noodles? No meat as I do not trust any protein they might prepare. No updated menu for vegetarians or vegans. nasty dirty carpet. The entire restaurant needs a deep cleaning. They keep the lights low as to not see the bugs crawling and all the nasty dirty tables and silverware. WHAT A DUMPVegetarian options: THERE ARE NO OPTIONS! Rice noodles not season. Added soy sauce and ened up with a salty mess of noodles. They added what appeared ti be mushrooms but it was very difficult to tell IF at all there were mushrooms and or vegetables in the dish. it was horrible. My 5 y/o granddaughter could've made it better.Dietary restrictions: NO OPTIONSParking: Accessible
