What Sabina Beier likes about Chef Lee's Mandarin House:
Chef Lee's Monterey has been the first Chinese restaurant in the peninsula for over 50 years. The service is great. The food is made fast, served hot, full of taste and delicious. Thank you for hosting our family celebrations from baptisms, wedding rehearsal dinner, birthdays and celebrations of the Life Luncheons. The staff is always hard to work, gracious and very accentuating. Thanks for being my cook when I'm so... View all feedback. What Kaylee Weissnat doesn't like about Chef Lee's Mandarin House:
Food was good; ingredients tasted fresh and sauces were tasty. The restaurant itself could use some maintenance, and our waitress was not very attentive so our service was below average. View all feedback.
