A Long-Awaited Reunion Worth Every Bite.
It had been years since my last visit to How Lee, and I’m glad I finally made it back. I ordered the vegetable hor fun, a comforting plate of wide rice noodles tossed with crisp vegetables. The flavors were light and balanced, with a gentle umami depth that kept each bite satisfying without feeling heavy. It’s the kind of dish that sneaks up on you—the more you eat, the more you appreciate its quiet brilliance.
My partner went bold with the Hunan chicken, and it did not disappoint. Tender pieces of chicken were coated in a rich, savory sauce with just enough spice to tingle without overwhelming. The veggies in the dish still had their bite, which made the whole plate feel fresh and lively.
The service was quick, the vibe relaxed, and the food reminded me why How Lee has been a staple in Squirrel Hill for so long.
Final Thought: Some restaurants fade from memory over time—How Lee makes sure it’s always worth remembering.

Been going here for years and years. Almost always get the fish chili hot pot, bok choy, and red pepper dry fried chicken (i always forget the name). Yeaa sure the service isnt very warm, but the food is ready fast and the taste is consistent. Good prices over the years. Very reliable place in my experience. Highly recommend the fish chili hot pot

as a Carnegie Mellon alumni, this was my go to spot with my friends. I’ve probably been to this restaurant more than 30 times… The owners are extremely nice, the service is great, and most importantly, the food tastes great. I always order the 水煮牛 and the 紅燒豆腐 strongly recommend this restaurant over cafe33 or sichuan gourmet

I had high hopes for this place, but it just didn’t compare to my usual choices for Asian food in Squirrel Hill. We were steamed quickly and the service was prompt. We ordered a scallion pancake to start, which was inarguably the best part of the meal. Following our entrees came out almost too quick. I ordered chicken and broccoli which was just okay and lacked flavor in the sauce. My friend had the General Tso’s combo meal. The chicken was decent but the fried rice was mediocre at best. Wouldn’t be my first, second, or third choice in the area.

Ordered take out . Food came nice and hot and accurate. Egg rolls were good . The wontons in the soup were kinda a weird texture to me. General tso chicken wasn’t bad. Ordered the pepper steak and got more peppers then anything so that’s a lil disappointing. Steak was a little hard to chew. The fried rice was flavorless. I think it might be the worse rice I have had in terms of flavor. It didn’t taste like anything when you ate it.

I’ve been getting steamed prawns with veggies since I arrived in Pittsburgh and they’re dish is super yummy and makes my digestive system happy. Big win for me. I got the veggie spring roll last night and it wasn’t my cup of tea, not bad, just prefer a slightly more robust version.

I visited based on the Yelp reviews. I was not very impressed. Parking is a feat especially around the 6:00 hour. I parked a few streets down in a residential area which was a short walk and not too bad. How Lee is small and located in a downtown “main” street area. The place has a few tables and some booths. My waitress was attentive and she promptly waited on me which was very nice. The food was plated beautifully but lacking in taste and seasoning. The portion was indeed generous and the dishes are family style. Overall not very impressed with the taste of the food despite the fact that it looked delicious. I ordered the braised tofu and the beef large noodle.

If you want good old fashioned american Chinese food or spicy Szechuan good, this place is good. Serving sizes are huge. Food came out super fast. The ladies working were swamped but still managed to give us adequate service. We were there on Christmas Day and will come back soon.
The egg foo young is freaking huge.

How Lee is simply the best — everything on the menu is excellent. I’ve been coming here for nearly a decade, through so many different stages of my life, and the dishes have remained consistently outstanding over the years. My go-tos are the cumin tofu, sautéed green beans, and seafood tofu soup, but truly, you can’t go wrong with anything here. The staff are lovely, and the restaurant offers both authentic Chinese dishes and American Chinese favorites, so there’s something for everyone. If you’re looking for genuine, flavorful Chinese food, this is the place.

Absolutely some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Everything was soooo flavourful and wasn’t too small portioned. I highly recommend the Chongqing dry hot chicken its one of my new favorite dishes ever. The staff are super friendly and helpful as well and made it a great experience. This is my go-to for Asian food in the burgh. Highly recommend to anyone!
