Reviews for Chef Lee's Peking Restaurant in Columbus, GA

Food is good. We were quickly seated and water glasses were filled within 2 minutes. We ordered and the food arrived in less... than 5 minutes. The only reason for knocking a star off was due to the fact we could not catch the eye of a server to get drinkrefill. I suspect they were under staffed. When we left, the pay line went from the cashier to very back and part way into ourdining area. Still a popular place for lunch. We will go again. Read more

Chef Lee's is by far the best Chinese Restaurant in Columbus GA. Their Mongolian beef, egg drop soup is delicious. Mu Shu pork... was delicious as well. The place is gorgeous, has multiple water falls, a bridge you can walk over that's glass to see the fishunderneath, and outside they have an amazing koi pond with fish and fish food to feed them.

The food is a bit pricey but very tasty. The egg rolls are so good but they need more filling. The filling shouldn't be falling... out when you dip it in the hot mustard. The filling is just mainly cabbage which is cheap so they should be packing the wrapsmore. I ordered Mongolian beef it was good. A little on the sweet side but good. I also ordered the wonton soup. It wasdefinitely filling with big chunks of pork, carrots and cabbage. I would come back , just once in a while. They also need to doa deep cleaning. Read more

Chef Lee?s has been my absolute favorite restaurant for years, since I was a kid. The last two times I?ve been back in town I?ve... gone and both times it was SO hot inside the restaurant like they didn?t even have the air on. Fans were placed around thedining areas but they didn?t help at all. I thought maybe the air conditioner went out and this was a one time thing but wentmonths later and it was exactly the same. 90 degrees out and no air! We had to leave and didn?t even eat there because of this.Don?t know why they spent money on those robots when customers can?t even eat comfortably. Really hope this can be addressedbecause I?d love to go back! Food tastes mostly the same, maybe slightly blander, except for the egg drop which seemed prettydifferent than their old egg drop which was my favorite. However, the air thing is the biggest issue and I hope they can fix itbecause I?d gladly come back if they could! I understand there?s an adjustment period and I hope the new owners can eventuallyget the restaurant back to its former glory! Read more

The place is beautiful and the details inside are very cute. A staple in town. Has several competitors now that new restaurants... have arrived with amazing food, but very few compare when it comes to the ambience inside. Best won ton soup ever- normally theyare so salty- not this one Read more

Best Chinese food I've ever had! Recommended by a local gentleman, Chef Lee's was definitely beyond my expectations for a local... place. The Mongolian beef was sweet and had lots of umami. The egg drop soup was delicious and rich. The fortune cookie eventasted good. ???? Read more

The vibe was amazing. A truly beautiful restaurant. It felt a bit strange that the employees stood near our table the entire... time we were there, but never offered to refill our drinks. We had an issue with our food but the chef came out and was verypleasant about rectifying the problem and was very friendly. I wish all the staff was just as friendly. The food was fresh andI'm assuming closer to authentic Chinese food than what I've ever had before. My favorite part about this gem was the decor andthe crab Rangoon. Very beautiful aesthetic and delicious appetizer. The waitress, who barely waited our table, checked the tipand compared it to our bill which had to be adjusted due to the issue we had with our meal... When bringing out our food, sheoriginally gave me an adult plate and took it back and gave me a child's plate... I'm assuming because I'm plus sized... butthat's just an assumption being that I was clearly an adult. We came in clearly as a family... Adult male. Adult female. Apre-teen. 2 small children. She asked us three times if it would be on the same ticket... like, why wouldn't it be on the sameticket ma'am?? Clearly we are a family and how many families come in with small children and split a tab?! Because of the issuewith our meal and very minimum service, my husband didn't think we should have left a tip... But I Felt the stereotypes beingthrown out so I chose to leave one anyway. I love tipping because when I was in college, I lived off tips, unfortunately, I alsobelieve good tips are earned, not given... Had it gone to the chef, I would have left my normal $20 or better but the vibe I gotfrom the waitress and her lack of personal skills left me feeling very uneasy.. and I didn't feel like our table was important..As much as I loved the chef and the restaurant itself, I don't think I'll return. This 4 stars is mainly because of the chef,the ambiance, and some of the food... Honestly had it not been for the chef himself, it would have Read more
