Moy Lee Chinese Restaurant

first off I have no idea where some of these negative reviews are coming from and they are clearly too harsh. Our family have been customers for years and have yet to be disappointed.

The portions are more than adequate , the quality of the ingredients have never disappointed, and the service has always been prompt and impeccable.

Having said that , you reap what you sow. We are always kind and generous to this hard-working staff… intern they have been the same with us for almost a decade. If you treat others like a whiny, impetuous child, then you may receive lackluster products and services. Given that this is a small family business that feel economic pinches much harder than large restaurant chains, I’m not going to pay that much attention to the harsher reviews regarding portions. For reference, the photo shows the leftovers after a very generous dinner for two.

There were nearly 2 pounds of high-quality shrimp and freshly cooked vegetables in this huge container with more than six huge, full wings in the other. We were absolutely stuffed and it was absolutely delicious.

on a Sunday night with cruddy weather and heavy traffic , I’m grateful to be able to place an order online and have hot delicious food delivered in 1 hour.

First off, I don’t write reviews. Ordered delivery. When you order from the website, it specifically asks you for any special editions you would like to add. I specifically asked for my kung pao chicken, general tso’s beef and spicy combination rice to be extra spicy. Said please and thank you. Absolutely None of these dishes have any spice in them whatsoever. It’s bland stereotypical “American” Chinese food. Bummer.

I’ve been a longtime customer of this restaurant when it was family owned and operated but several years ago the owner told me he was selling because the family couldn’t run the restaurant anymore he assured me that the buyers were going to keep all the menu items and use his recipes. During the transition time it was exactly the same with the only change being some prices did go up a little but that was expected. For the last year it’s been getting inconsistent with the taste and quality of the dishes. My last 2 orders have proven to be the last time I will be ordering. First was a night I wanted some for myself so I ordered egg rolls, egg drop soup and an appetizer platter. The soup was ok but it usually was a large container completely full that order it was about 3/4 full and I only got 2 egg rolls which is the extras I ordered the platter is supposed to have an egg roll also and the platter had one fried wonton, one fried shrimp, a few small pieces of completely burnt ribs, one little piece of bbq pork and that used to have enough to feed 2 people! Unfortunately by the time i received that order they had closed so i couldn’t complain directly and just thought I’ll give them another time. This week I ordered about $50 worth of food and picked it up myself. It wasn’t busy and when i got home I opened it up the egg rolls weren’t cooked completely with part of it crispy and the other part still soft wrapper! Egg drop soup again partially full but good. Wife ordered lemon chicken and fried rice, lemon chicken had no taste and chicken was completely overcooked the sauce was super thick and contained what looked like limes but turned out to be unripe lemon. Mushroom fried rice had no mushrooms and tasted bland. I had Moy’s special which has pan fried noodles those were a huge clump of dried up noodles that were crunchy and had not been pan fried except the very bottom of the container was burnt to a black crisp! The dish is supposed to have jumbo shrimp but instead it had the little shrimp they use in fried rice and one small piece of bbq pork and one small piece of chicken the rest of the dish was undercooked vegetables with celery that was crunchy and raw pea pods! I’m done with that place never ordering again $50 worth of takeout and I was still hungry since much of it was inedible!

I am VERY disappointedand a bit outraged by their customer service and the delivery order that was brought to me. Got a lg beef fried rice at $11.55 and when it arrived it was spoiled!!! Spent $95 on the delivery order and when I called they had ther nerve to tell me ok when u come up? Pick up???? That’s why I ordered delivery! Spoiled people spoiled food and then not only they didn’t want to deliver me a fresh replacement they acted like I inconvenienced them!!! UNBELIEVABLE!! ALL I SAY I CHK YOUR MEAL FRM THEM!!! Ruined my entire appetite!! I mean big spoonful of spoiled beef in my mouth I CANNOT GET OVER IT! They were our fav neighborhood place! I guess a 1st time for everything..

Was looking for a great egg roll and this spot popped up. GINORMOUS egg rolls that were what I was looking for, filled with pork and shrimp! The hot and sour soup is the best I’ve had in years. The Oriental Express was also good, but too many pea pods, and they’re bitter(I think naturally) but I LOVE the mushroom variety in it! Excited to try other items! Wish the restaurant posted more photos of dishes.

Disgusting!!! Zero stars!!!! This place is gone way way way downhill for a long time!!! don’t waste your time or money!

Specifically, I ordered the Hawalian chicken. It arrived in a gelatinous glue for the sauce. The chicken itself was overcooked and burnt.

I’ve lived in this area for a long time and I can’t believe how bad this place has become. It’s such a disappointment.

Also when a restaurant has the policy of no refunds and no exchanges on food, it tells you that there’s more of a problem there than a one off order. That means they’re typically serving garbage and don’t wanna stand behind their products at all.

Apparently a lot of people are complaining that’s why they have this policy so, again save your time and money. Don’t eat here!!! Don’t order delivery!!! Don’t order anything save your time and money!!!

This place is seriously amazing. Possibly some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had! I got potstickers, Mongolian beef and bbq pork fried rice and it blew me away how good it was! You really have to try it!

Would not advise customers of African American nationality to dine here no support This business. My issue with this establishment is I’ve picked up orders from here just as a doordasher and have experienced rudeness and condescending looks from staff each time. I ignored the first instance but this second instance i will not. I entered the restaurant to pick up a DoorDash order and before even being greeted (not that i received one) the hostess looked me up and down as if she was searching for something. I spoke and said hello pickup for “….” And then asked her what was she looking for when searching me up and down? Her response in a very rude and aggressive tone was “i need to see phone” – verbatim. I proceeded to show her the customers order on my phone just to not prolong my time in the restaurant. Her attitude was clearly shown on her face and through her tone. As i can’t speak for the quality of the food, the environment was far from welcoming.
