Good food, great value/portions, and an expansive menu.

I first ate here when I was about 12 years old. Over a decade down the line, this is still the best Chinese carryout spot I've ever gone to within the Chicagoland area. The owners are very nice. And the food is always fresh and plentiful.

Awesome food. Make sure you use the coupon on the menu to get a free egg roll.

I didn't go here to eat. I was doing research for someone looking to try there food from another site. I know a few Chinese restaurant's that we eat from.

These guys make consistently solid American-style Chinese food at a decent price. The lunch special is good deal, and service is always nice and prompt.

Always delicious and the delivery is always super fast. I love their veggie egg rolls and mushroom or veggie fried rice. I ask them to use as little oil as possible on the rice and it is prefect. Really great food consistently.

Been ordering food from here for a few years now. Most of the time I have no problems. Only had issue where a couple of times they got my order wrong but it was around a busy time and understand that people just mess up once in a while.

This place is down the street from my apartment so I've been wanting to try it. I stopped by for the sampler and a mango smoothie. I wasn't a big fan of their crab Rangoon's but the rest was ok. The watermelon smoothie was the best part. It's so delicious and tastes like fresh watermelon.

Disgusting!!! These reviews sent me clean off. If you are looking for chicago style chinese food please pass this place up. If you're looking for good food period please pass this place up. I ordered the lunch special and literally wasted 7.37 because I didn't eat any of it. My "fried rice" was so plain and tasted old and hard. I took one bite and spit it out and not to mention it had no egg, green onion or anything else. My orange chicken I didn't taste because there was a piece if hair on my food. I felt the chicken and the texture was very hard. The egg roll was obviously fried in old a** grease. The only thing I consumed was the pop that came with the meal so essentially I paid 7.37 for a soda. Buyer beware
They always give very generous portions at a reasonable price. The quality of the meat and veggies are good except for the orange chicken, that tends have many pieces of dark meat. Tom Lee is still personally doing the deliveries just like I remember him doing as a kid (this was my parents go-to Chinese restaurant to order from). This spot and House of Wah Sun are where I go for Chinese.

This is my go-to Chinese-American spot in Lincoln Square with your normal Chinese (Americanized) staples. It's a small hole in the wall joint at Western & Leland. They serve very big portions at a cheap price and it's great for take out. My favorites are their Lo Mein, Fried Rice, Sweet & Sour Pork, and Orange Chicken. Their Crab Rangoon and Egg Rolls are very good too! If you're looking for a solid Chinese-American spot in Lincoln Square then Tom Lee's is for you!

Ordered the regular Eggrolls and Shrimp Fried Rice this week for the first time at this establishment. Both were very tasty. Definitely recommend trying.
