With the cars constantly doubled parked outside for pick up, it is only a matter of time until there is a terrible car accident, particularly with SEPTA buses trying to get around the mess this place creates and entirely ignores. Its time everyone writes to city council and the state rep to end this before someone gets hurt. Not spending a dime at this place until something changes

If it's 1am and you're looking for a big delicious meal to eat immediately before going to bed, this is the spot.

Fantastic hidden gem. Best tofu general I've had in a while. Quality is top notch. A definite must if visiting the area.

Picked up through doordash pick up. For about 13 bucks, I got crab rangoon and general tso's with a spring roll. Quite a deal! Plus one of the only chinese places in the area that allows you to pay online before, so you don't need cash. The general tso's chicken was an okay flavor (no spice), but upon futher inspection, I began to question if there was any chicken in it. While the portion was large, most of the chicken was actually fried breading. I counted only a few obvious bites of meat. I enjoyed the brocoli and rice though, and the shrimp roll was a bit fish, but alright.

THE FOOD WAS DISGUSTING!!! I would not recommend! It's like they don't even get the basic dishes right. You can tell by their food that no one there is a real cook. It's not even mediocre! It actually tastes neglectful. Don't waste your money. Anyone who makes food this bad has to be dropping the ball in other areas like cleanliness and etc! Very disappointing!

Just received my order through doordash. I ordered General Tso, (wasn't spicy enough) but wow great taste. It came with the run of the mill eggroll, but the pork fried rice was the best I have ever had. The meal arrived fast, and portions were large. My daughter got the same and Mei Fun just plain noodles. She was thrilled with flavor. Definitely will order again while visiting Phili..

I just moved to Brewerytown, and after a long day we were looking for something to eat that's close by. It was late, so most everything was closed, but we found Lee's Kitchen. It was easy to find a spot to park on Girard and walk over to Lee's. It's one of those places where you walk in the door and there's a big plexiglass wall and behind it is the person taking orders and the cooking staff. So no seating anywhere, but we weren't looking to sit, we wanted to grab and go. We placed our order and it took about 15-20 minutes, but they were pretty busy so the wait was expected. I could tell this is a favorite neighborhood spot for late-night eats, lots of people came by in their lounge clothes to pick up food then walk back home. They had the typical Chinese food on the menu, and they also had stuff like popcorn chicken, cheesesteaks, fried shrimp, chicken nuggets, Buffalo wings, etc. They had lots of drinks on display, candy, as well as cigarettes if you're a smoker. So typical almost bodega-style stuff. Once we got home the food was great. It was nice and warm, and just what we needed after a long day of walking boxes and furniture around. We had the sesame chicken, general Tso's chicken, spring rolls, and crab rangoon. The chicken was great, nice and crispy, not soggy like you get from some places. I was a little disappointed in the crab rangoon, there wasn't very much filling in them, instead they were mostly the puff pastry dough. The sauce for dipping was great, I was very happy with it. A lot of places will give you runny, watered down dipping sauce, but this stuff was nice and thick and actually stayed on when you dipped the rangoon. They did not give us fortune cookies, which really bummed me out. So after a long day we had two happy tummies. This will probably become our go-to Chinese spot in the neighborhood.

Best Chinese food in the area. Don't let the appearance fool you. They also sell common items.

So, since there's not many late night food options, this is your go to. Very good typical Chinese restaurant. Made to order. Fast service. And like I said: serving past 2:30am typically.

The food was really fresh. The egg rolls and wonton soup were great. The orange chicken was cooked perfectly. The roast pork with onion was cooked nicely although the spice was a little too hot for me. They also have snacks, drinks, ice cream, hamburgers, and cheesesteaks. It feels like a safe area.

Live in Brewerytown? Go to Lee's. They serve late, make great food, and get you fed when you're hungry. Don't expect a smile when you pick your food up. CALL AHEAD AND EXPECT THEM TO CALL YOU CONSTANTLY UNTIL YOU GET YOUR FOOD. Your food will prob take an extra 15 after they call. Try the Bourbon Chicken combo platter, the veggie egg foo young, and the 4 wing platter w chicken fried rice. Gnite.

I have been ordering from here for years. Just picked up my takeout for tonight, terrible. It has been going down hill lately, but I was holding out hope they would rebound. Not the case. I will be looking for a new takeout place.
