This is the most elegantly decorated Chinese resto I've seen in a small city. The owner put in quite a few wood carvings from China. Wished I had more time to linger. It was dinner for an Asian family after a long day of traveling and it hit the spot. Many local regulars here

Enjoy Chef Lee’s so much!
Fast. Great service, and delicious food.
Love the Kung Pao Beef, Chicken Salad, Almond Chicken, Mixed Chow Mein,…, to name a few.

The best Chinese food I've had in a very long time. Excellent service. Upscale, old school Chinese restaurant vibe. Huge space, with multiple sections. Perfect for hosting a large dinner party.

Beautiful place, excellent hot and sour soup, chow fun . Generous portions. Order less unless you want takeout. Service nice and prompt. Busy at dinner hour on a Thursday.

Huge portions and really good food. The atmosphere feels authentic and old school. Each time I'm in there I wonder about the history if the place. The menu is rather large so I imagine that you can find what you're looking for if you are in the mood for Chinese. There is also a bar and large tables for families.

Best orange chicken I've EVER tasted! Make sure to communicate spice level when ordering. I ordered mongolian beef, and it had no spice to it at all. House Fried Rice was BOMB! Friendly staff as well.

Chef Lee's In Monterey has got to serve the best combination fried rice we've ever tasted... I would give Chef Lee's in Salinas 2.5 stars.

Place was delicious very large portions at reasonable prices. Great for big family’s are office meetings. Place is big. Alot of parking. Great service. Spacious for wheelchair. Will go back for sure. Walking distance from nice decent hotels.

Nice decor and dining room. Friendly service. Delicious food with good wok hei. The potstickers has thin wrapping stuffed with juicy pork filling. Chef Lee’s fried rice (combo meat) has the essential wok hei. Walnut shrimp is jumbo sized.
