Chef Lee's Mandarin House Ii - Salinas

I like this place, and have been here quite a few times now. It's not fancy or anything, but the food is good usually comes fairly fast and is a good place to eat with family.

Went for dinner around 6.30pm on a Saturday. Was not very busy and they seated right me away. Immediately was asked if I wanted a drink. A couple minutes later, my waiter came to take my order. I was ready and placed my requests. Chow mein came first, about 5 minutes later the fried rice and mushu pork arrived. Everything was hot when I served my plate and tasted delicious. Veggies were cooked to my liking, not soft but not too hard. Sauces had great flavor as well. The waiter was attentive and checked up on me, boxed up everything when I was done,and had a pleasant sense of humor. Overall a great experience. Usually I order ToGo but decided to dine in for once. I was not disappointed.

I can't say this place has an edible Chinese food. This is my first time in this place and will be my last. I am really shocked this restaurant would sell this food to a customer! The Chicken Chow-My I ordered was soggy, slim and has little to no vegetables or chicken in it. The orange chicken I received was certainly not orange chicken, and it had no orange fruits or taste on it. The food tasted incredible bland. I guarantee that part of the food microwave and certainly not freshened. Also, when I called, I was told that my food would be ready in 25 minutes, I got the place 30 minutes later, just to say 15 minutes more wait because my food was simply cooked. During this time I noticed that two families were sitting and later said to go because they were close to closing. This is absurd and management should be embarrassing. If you are looking for authentic Chinese food, save your money and go somewhere else.

I've been going to this restaurant for seven years. Since 2016 my husband Ronnie has brought me to this wonderful place and we always enjoy a good evening with food and drinks?. Now the service can improve something, but we still enjoyed the evening. Thank you?

The food here was good. Egg rolls were subpar and muddy, but that was good. The Chicken Chow mine came out quickly and filled. Did the rest come home?????????? Digitally speaking there should be an online menu or website, and the business should also be claimed on Google. The manager, super nice guy, had already suggested it to the owner, but they won't move it for some reason. Shame! The manager knows what he's talking about.
