The best part about our meal was leaving!
Chinese cuisine is my favorite food so I can tell you NEVER EAT HERE! My party of 4 got 4 different meals and 2 appetizers. They were the worst tasting Chinese I have ever had and some of the most expensive. No one in my party ate more then a quarter of our food it was that bad
Please if you care about your taste buds go anywhere else
The service and Atmosphere were amazing but the food was so bad I can’t give anymore than 1 star.

The manager/owner and the server were both very nice and friendly. I ordered a mixed veggies (snow peas, Chinese mushrooms, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots) and Mongolian beef.
The server forgot my mixed veggies and I should had not remind her to put it into the order for me.
When the food was served, first thing I noticed there were 2 black dots on the rice, I didn’t make a big deal, scooped them away and gone! The rice was way too soft, didn’t taste good. Then, I tried both the dishes and damn! They were so so so salty!!! I am a Chinese and even the saltiness is out of my normal standard! Also, I noticed both the bamboo shoots and water chestnuts are from cans. I would definitely not recommend this restaurant for anyone who craves for a good Chinese food.
Btw, there was also a fly flying around my table when I was eating. I didn’t finish the food and brought the leftover to go but I ended up throwing them away. Hopefully, I won’t get any stomach issues tonight.

I had the Chef Lee’s Sizzling Platter, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment it arrived at the table, the presentation was impressive—the dish came out sizzling, filling the air with an irresistible aroma that made my mouth water instantly.
The combination of tender, perfectly cooked meats and fresh vegetables was packed with bold flavors, and the sauce tied everything together beautifully. The portion size was generous, making it a great value for the quality and quantity of food.
Beyond the food, the service was outstanding. The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, ensuring a fantastic dining experience. The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, making it a great spot for both casual meals and special occasions.
If you’re looking for an unforgettable meal, Chef Lee’s Sizzling Platter is a must-try! I will definitely be returning to explore more of the menu. Highly recommended!

My husband and i chose this place on a coin toss about 10 years ago. We now go at least one night every time we are in the area.
The food is great and our kids love looking at the beautiful ceiling. We always get Chefs Lee’s family deal that feeds 3 or more people. It’s a great deal and we have never had anything we didn’t like. Highly recommend.

I read some negative reviews but decided to ask the hotel front desk about the food. She gave it a rave review so we took a chance, and I sure am glad we did!
The food was absolutely delicious! I loved the beef and broccoli, chow mein, orange chicken, Kung pao chicken. All of it, flavorful and delicious.
Atmosphere is really nice, a very authentic feel and the service staff was attentive to our needs.
5 stars!

A wonderful place with an incredible atmosphere – beautiful halls, exceptionally polite staff, and truly delicious food. I honestly can’t understand why the Google rating is so low. Everything was perfect: from the friendly hostess with her warm smile to the amazing meals. The prices are very reasonable, the portions are huge, and the overall experience is absolutely restaurant-level quality.
I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely come back the next time I’m in this city.

I’ve enjoyed countless dinners at Chef Lee’s Mandarin House over the years, and each visit has been consistently excellent. Today’s lunch was no exception–it was truly outstanding. I was struck by how the restaurant’s elegant architecture is just as beautiful in the daytime as it is striking when illuminated at night.
Specializing in Northern Chinese cuisine, Chef Lee’s offers an extensive menu filled with lots of flavorful favorites. We began with perfectly prepared Chicken Potstickers served with a savory dipping sauce, followed by the exceptional Walnut Shrimp–crispy, sweet, and perfectly seasoned. The Shrimp Chow Fun, with its wide rice noodles, was absolutely delicious, and the Chicken Fried Rice complemented everything wonderfully. Generous portions offered great value, leaving plenty for me to take home and enjoy later.
Service was friendly, efficient, and attentive, and I especially love dining in the spacious, beautifully decorated rooms that create a refined, yet comfortable atmosphere with beautiful Chinese accents. Chef Lee’s is always ideal for family meals, friendly get-togethers, or business lunches. When I inquired, I was also reminded that they can easily accommodate groups of 25, 50, or even 100 guests–perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, wedding receptions, celebrations of life, and other gatherings, with a wide selection of tasty appetizers and entrees to suit every palate. It is open from 11 am – 9:30 pm so you can dine anything like I did today with a later lunch.
An award-winning restaurant since 1981, annually voted “Best Chinese Restaurant” in Monterey County, Chef Lee’s has been the recipient of numerous awards year after year. Conveniently located right off Highway 1 on North Fremont with a large parking lot, it’s easy to see why Chef Lee’s Mandarin House remains a beloved local favorite including mine.

Food was delicious, but sadly my lemon chicken was overcooked where the crust was falling off easily away from the chicken. Sizzling Rice Soup was Awesome. Service was very quick and the restaurant was welcoming and relaxing.
Side note, idk what’s up with the water in Monterey but it tastes awful, compared to other parts of California.

Excellent selection of food, great prices, and the service was amazing. They were very tentative to our needs and kept an eye on our table.
The serving sizes were perfect, with a little left to take home. The orange chicken and shrimp fried rice tasted great!

The atmosphere is out of this world. There was so much thought and detail that went into the landscaping, building, etc. This restaurant is a piece of art. I was told that most of the art and furniture were hand made and imported from China.
The service was perfection. The server was polite, checked in often, and treated us very well.
The food was great as well! I live in San Jose, but I will be coming back next time I’m in the area!
