Went for Dim Sum, it was really relaxed and a beautiful way to share time together. Love the atmosphere here and everything was delicious- not much vegetarian for dim sum but good variety regardless. Waitress was very efficient and hospitable. Adding current menu and prices for others to see! 🥟

Our first time at this restaurant. Nice to see the poster saying the rest has recently passed all inspections hanging just outside the door of this fairly simple restaurant. The waitress was lovely. There was only one other gentleman in the restaurant when we arrived, another couple arrived shortly thereafter. A number of take outs happened as well. We ordered egg rolls, beef with green peppers and black bean sauce, pan fried noodles (speciality item on back of menu), and sesame chicken. Egg rolls were done very well and arrived promptly. The other dishes were all very good , good quantities for the two of us. The sesame chicken was my fav, but all was very good. Our only complaint is that the plates did not arrive together, there was a lot of time between the plates. We like to eat iur eggrolls as appetizers, but then like all the other dishes together. The waitress was very pleasant, saying this dish or that was her fav and stopped to see which one we liked the best.. she was good. The meal was $55 including taxes and one ice tea. We brought home a take out for lunch tomorrow. We will certainly be back again.

So good. Huge potions and well presented. We also ordered takeout for our grand kids. Highly recommended! That was 8 months ago and we finally got back to Ontario and went again last night. Just as awesome. The food is really good, fresh ingredients. Large portions and very reasonable prices. Took a couple more pics. It's our go to place for Chinese food. Best in town by far. Cheers!

Have done Dim Sum in many countries and I am so lucky to have Lee’s in my area. Having been doing take out since Covid. Enjoy this place. If you don’t know what dim sum is try this place as like some other reviewers say it is very good. I don’t think you will find better quality. Enjoy. Just had meal number 7 on the menu. Excellent. We are truly lucky to have this quality restaurant in our area. Once again, a fantastic meal. Hot an sour soup and number 8 for combo for one.

February 20, 2020

Atmosphere: The restaurant was empty when I walked in (lunch time on a Thursday), the lights in the dining room were turned off and seemed like it was closed, and the heat was turned down, I asked for the heat to be turned up a little as it was a little chilly. As for the table setting, there was a basket with soy sauce, and a salt and pepper shaker. The cutlery laid out was a knife and fork on a napkin, I would have preferred a pair of chopsticks, but considering the location it's understandable. Food: The food tasted like cheap Chinese take out. Sweet and sour chicken balls: Very doughy and consisted of barely any chicken. Chicken and mixed veggie: Steamed Broccoli, Carrots, Chinese radish, Bok Choy and Chicken, tossed in soy sauce and sesame oil. The vegetables were cooked well and tasted fresh, however there were only 2 small pieces of chicken and the dish was under seasoned. Chicken Fried Rice: Tasted like generic Chinese take out, once again this dish skimped out on the chicken, and left much to be desired. Egg Roll: Taste like a frozen egg roll that you can find in any grocery store, not much to expand on here. All in all, I would not recommend this place, unless there are some big changes.

Excellent food and service. Great Dim Sum on the weekends. I had the combo with General Tao Chicken and Fried rice and a plate of Chicken Lo Mein. Good taste for the price.

Best Chinese food in North Bay. Im an Asian and I can tell they make very good fried rice and stir-fried beef which are the basic staples in any Chinese restaurant. They maintain the good quality of their food every time I crave for Chinese food! My favorite is their deep fried calamari. They dont fool around with it. So good Im addicted!

We came here for the weekend dim sum. They have a fantastic selection to choose from (27 items as of posting). We tried about a quarter of the menu and everything was delicious. Some items dont say that its served as a plate, so be careful when ordering. We ended up with more cuttlefish than expected but we ate it all :)

Best place to eat around here. The food is fresh and served hot. The host is very nice and accommodating. We ordered noodles with chicken and shrimp and a portion of Kung pao chicken. It was delicious and the chef customized it ( avoiding bean sprouts as we are not a big fan of it ) just for us. They also gave us plates and cutleries keeping it mind the takeaway situation. Overall, best Chinese ever. Loved it.

Still great fresh food. Poor website though.....pretty pictures of their dishes. No prices shown but I personally liked the discount if you picked up,.....found out no more discounts of 10% if you order over $30. Why pick up now then .Delivery a bit slow and now that menu has increased in price it s not quite as affordable as before. Eating in is great ....huge portions but only one server and one cook so you need to relax and realize that not every restaurant can afford to pay the new government minimum wage.

Cozy little eatery that serves an excellent hot & soup, perfectly balanced & full of slivers of tofu, pork & julienned veggies. It also does stir-frys & fried rice really well, with plenty of wok hei. It is a mainly Canadian-Chinese menu, and I wasnt craxy about the egg rolls, but the more authentic fare offered as the Chefs specials is where this kitchen shines. I went back and tried the weekend lunch dim sum and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of items served. The stuffed eggplant and minced beef w/fried egg on rice were my two favourites. A solid spot just off Main on the edge of downtown North Bay.

this place used to have great food...got some singapore noodles like i always do 3 day ago. The meat was not cooked, the noodles over cooked and it tasted disgusting. Not the normal for this place, the last year or 2 this place has gone downhill and continues that way. time to find another place to get my singapore noodles. they either need a new cook or to re-train whoever is cooking. Im a chef of 23 years and normally wont complain but was so dissapointed and am now sad i have to find a new place to get decent food.

Well the veggie dish that I posted was delicious but the chicken fried rice I did not take a picture of was ok but they need to use less grease when frying it up. The chicken balls tasted old or maybe not quite right and there was way too much batter. The sauce for the balls could be a bit thinner too. Last the egg rolls I dont recommend at all! They taste awful. They need to revise this recipe big time.

We had the pleasure of dining at Lees China Garden recently. Its a quaint little restaurant with just a few tables. We were greeted and served immediately. The restaurant was a tad chilly, so be sure to bring a sweater. We had the dinner for three and side of sesame chicken. The meal came with three egg rolls, chicken chow mien, chicken fried rice, sweet and sour chicken balls, beef with mixed vegetables and fortune cookies. The chicken fried rice and egg roll are by far the best in town. All the meat was incredibly tender and vegetables crispy and fresh. The sauces were light and delightful. The portions were very generous and each dish was served when ready, which kept everything warm and fresh. We recommend this place and will return in the future.

Only Dim Sum place in the Bay

December 22, 2016

This is the second time we have ordered from here and it will be the last. The sweet and sour sauce tastes like thick ketchup, its really gross putting that on your chicken balls. Also, the sesame chicken taste nothing like sesame. Its basically fried chicken in some sort of honey sauce with sesame seeds on top. Almost everything in our combo was bland, flavorless with the exception of the beef with mixed vegetables. The food was mediocre the first time, but we wanted to give them a 2nd chance, things got worse instead of better. It was better under the former management.

December 22, 2016
