Easily one of the greatest dining experiences of my entire life. I’m actually sad that I wasted so much of my life not knowing this place existed. Lee’s is a time capsule gem that transports you to another era of exotic sights, sounds,
tropical drinks, and one of the finest Pu Pu Platters you’ll ever encounter. THEIR SHRIMP TOAST IS INSANELY #delishYES!!! There is literally never a dull moment inside this place. May this island last a zillion years!!

Fun tiki themed dining experience. Place has been around over 50 years and it feels perfectly nostalgic. Pu pu platter was a hit. Great for a group. Karaoke was uniquely classy – think Sinatra, that kind of music – which added to the experience.

Very traditional Polynesian/oriental food. There are very few sit down Chinese restaurants anymore and this was a throwback to my youth. From the fun kitchen decor to the phenomenal pu pu platter and flaming drinks. My wife and I enjoyed ourselves immensely.

First! Lee’s Hawaii is the only Polynesian police left around these parts… So it is a one and only type of experience… As some, in my age bracket might remember similar restaurants, that their folks brought them to on special occasions or the like.

This place has all the nostalgia, of course you have to get the poo poo platter, and the fried noodles, duck sauce and hot mustard. They are absolute staples, along with a Mai Tai or a Zombie in a tiki glass.

The service is fast and Kurt, don’t get mad, it adds to the charm, and the food is similar, fast and mediocre, but that’s not why you go. You go for the vibe and the drinks, that will kick you ass! It’s a lot of fun with the right person!

I love fine dining, and this isn’t it, but it’s amazing in its own right!

The PU PU Platter was great! The atmosphere was so great and nostalgic. I love this place. Everyone should try it and the karaoke on the weekends is a blast. Bring a huge group, they won’t stop talking about it.

I have to admit that I had somewhat low expectations for our dinner at Lee’s since I wanted the nostalgia and was willing to accept average food and service. However, it turns out that the food was, overall, really good! They are famous for the pupu platter, and the ribs, beef on a stick, and shrimp toast were excellent. The fried shrimp was over-battered and the egg roll was meh. Their house-made wonton chips are perfect and served with excellent duck sauce and hot mustard. And the entrees were equally of excellent quality. But I can’t not mention the cocktails; we make Scorpions at home and Lee’s version was on point. The service was just as good; our server was on top of everything and fun/friendly. So please visit Lee’s to keep this iconic restaurant around. You will have a great time! And hang around for the karaoke if they are doing it that evening.

The only thing nice about this place is the nostalgic aesthetic. Everything else was horrible. We ordered Lobster however the waiter was near impossible to understand. We explained that we don’t eat meet but they proceeded to bring us lobster with pork and egg on top. Several of the employees then proceeded to make a scene about the misunderstanding, and to mar it worse the boss/owner came back after several conversations and thought we resolved the issue and got loud with us saying we’re wrong, and complaining about the money that was wasted etc. it was so uncomfortable and unprofessional. I will never return! The photo is the “Boss”. Extremely RUDE!

We came here to celebrate a belated Father’s Day, and I gotta say, we were very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere of the restaurant was honestly quite beautiful, capturing the Hawaiian spirit quite nicely. Sure, you could tell it was a bit outdated, but I honestly think it added to the feel and made things feel a bit more nostalgic. The food was quite excellent, ranging from the rather tasteful pupu platter to the perfect fried rice. I also had a cocktail which I thought was quite refreshing. The server was also very polite, he gave us extra fortune cookies on the way out.

Will almost certainly come again, thank you for the experience 🙂
