CHINA at Lees in Christchurch

Realy glad they deliver to Burley thanks x

First time having a Chinese from here and wow what a lovely meal we have just had delivered. I highly recommend. You can tell that it is freshly cooked. It was delicious. We will be back. Thank you.

We have this every time we’re in Mudeford - high quality Chinese at reasonable value

Absolutely brilliant. I’ve been gluten intolerant for 25 years and I have NEVER walked into a Chinese and had so many options, I’ve also never had enjoyed so many informed staff with so much information about allergens to hand. The food was also then above par for a take away Chinese. Five stars across the board and huge thanks as it was so amazing to be able to eat Chinese food in the knowledge that it was totally gluten free

I've bought a portion of chicken wings and it was out of date. It has a funny taste which I contacted them and they wouldn't do anything about it.

Ordered Chinese , driver rings to tell me he’s on the road , it’s raining I said delivery to the flat please, silence. 10 mins later I ring again he’s says he’s outside, he’s not . I ring China lees who then asks me why I can’t go out (in the rain )to collect I said you are suppose to deliver. He says they can’t find it, I said that I have never had s problem with having food delivered before. I’m then told it’s the chef delivering not a driver, to which I pointed out that we all have sat nav, I was then told I was rude ?! I Cancelled the order and went else where ! Really bad customer service , was my first order and last !!

The ONLY Chinese Takeaway you need. Excellent food reasonably priced and amazing customer service.

Best Chinese takeaway around! Been coming here for years and never had a bad meal! Delicious food that is fresh and not too oily. Friendly service and usually good delivery times (can get busy at peak times but that’s expected). Highly recommend!

One of the best Chinese takeaway’s around!! Always very skeptical when moving to a different restaurant then your usual but China at lee’s did not disappoint!! I opted for delivery because it was only £2 which is great!! And it arrived sooner than expected! Great service from a great restaurant! Keep it up!

We were staying nearby for the weekend & this takeaway was recommended. We had the best Chinese food ever! Great service, food was delivered on time & hot! A fab all round experience.

Ordered a takeaway a couple of days ago whilst we were on a short break at Sandhills. Phoned through the order and it was delivered very promptly. Delicious food, friendly staff and great menu and would not hesitate to order again. Wonderful. Thank you so much!

Local to the take away but they never pick up the phone after always trying for quite a while. Always have to book Chinese a take away elsewhere. Such a shame as food has always been great 😞

Rang at quarter to ten to see if I could pick up a large Chinese. Was told not a problem at all and not a problem to pick up. Arrived and wanted to add salt and pepper chips, this was no problem at all. The young lady on the desk was awesome and took our Chinese out to our car. Ordered salt and pepper chicken and chips, these were bang on but my partner thought a little too much salt. Beef chow mein was tasty and not overly greasy. Chicken Hong Kong style was excellent and loved the nice big chunks of pineapple. Egg fried rice was bang on. All in all a pleasant experience!

Our local and always order from here but not anymore. Sweet n sour pork balls, over cooked, dry & needed a steak knife to cut them open. Inedible. Mongolian lamb was very tough, chewy with rock hard bits. Only half of it was edible. Prawn crackers were a very odd yellow colour and tasted odd. Chips were underdone. Salt & pepper squid & crispy seaweed were the only edible parts of the meal. Won’t bother going back.

Owner very friendly and brought the order to the car after 10 minutes. Had chicken fried rice and spring rolls with a portion of curry sauce. All good.

We were holidaying in this area at a nearby caravan site and spotted Lees’ Chinese takeaway so gave it a try. So glad we did , the staff are polite and offered to bring our food to our car when it was ready. We didn’t have to wait long before our food was ready. Our food was very tasty and cooked to perfection, we had lee’s special fried rice with lee’s special curry & chips we also got given prawn crackers for free. It was so good we went back ordered another takeaway and the crispy shredded beef was beautiful. Will definitely use this takeaway again when we are in the area.

Big order for 8 Really quick. All food was excellent and plenty of it. Service very friendly and cheerful. All very clean

Very RUDE, waited over 3 times longer than advised so asked for a refund, staff were very rude and tried to claim that the refund had been made! However with online banking it was clear that they had not, eventually they did issue a refund but where very rude, plenty of better restaurants in nearby Highcliffe so AVOID CHINA AT LEES MUDEFORD .

Staying in area on holiday and had a family buffet delivered. All enjoyed it and commented on the high standard.

Highly recommend this establishment great food and service

I tried chicken curry and sweet and sour chicken. I've tasted much better. The chicken was a little bit chewy and the sauces weren't very good. I'll give 5 out of 10

Amazing 🤩🤩 great service friendly an happy place.. an the food good healthy food .. taste is amazing 🤩 will be my main shop thank you 🙏 good value as well

Our first time using this venue! The food was amazing the staff were really happy to see us and gave us our food super fast

Very disappointed. Hardly any chicken in fried rice or beef in chow mein. Chips over cooked. It was revolting.

Top food Top chefs Top class Tasty!!

Delicious! We got the chicken satay main and egg fried rice and they complimented each other really nicely. Filling, affordable and great service and quality.

In my opinion possibly the best Chinese takeaway in the area.

The best Chinese takeaway i've ever had and since moving to the area, we have it at least twice a month. The staff are amazing, all the dishes i've tried are excellent and taste fresh and not like other Chinese takeaways i've had in the past. Great selection on Menu, food is always pipping hot. We always call ahead and drive to pick it up because it's a 3 minute drive and the food is usually ready in 10-15 minutes. Highly recommend if you live in the area or are just staying (they do delivery, it's always pipping hot) Thank you guys :)

Nice bit of grub here first time we tried from our usual place… and we really enjoyed the food definitely worth a try and reasonable prices too 👍👍

Been visiting this amazing takeaway for the past 7 years and can truly say I’ve never had one bad meal. They are always absolutely delicious, fresh, light and perfect!!! Couldn’t recommend them more and the service is always so friendly and welcoming.

Crispy chilli beef, vegetable chow mein, and sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice was top notch

Was greeted with a warm smile staff very friendly explained the menu definitely will be going back

If your looking for the best and mean the very best in Chinese food for either take away or to be delivered then China at Lees really is the best in the area . We have been enjoying there food for a few years now and have always had great service , food and deliveries without fail. Credit where it's due China at Lees is definitely worth trying as you WON'T be disappointed. 5+++++ rated . It's now 2023 and we're still ordering from China at Lees Mudeford 😋👍🏆 absolutely superb

Visited yesterday for the first time for a couple of months. It's still as good as when we previously visited. The next time we're in Christchurch we'll definitely return here.

My first ever visit and not disappointed at all. I did have to wait a while because they were busy but I see that as a positive sign rather than a negative as it must be good and it was. I'd certainly recommend phoning in advance .

I’m not sure if the owners have changed but it’s probably the worst Chinese we have had in years. We have been using this take away for years and it’s now consistently disappointing. It tasted old, reheated and generally disappointed. Really sad because we used to love it.

Really nice food + so much of it - lasted us 2 days! Great service with very pleasant + courteous delivery man. Highly recommended.

Got very bad food poisoning on Monday from a takeaway, I am pretty sure due to under cooked chicken in the Lee's Special. Knocked me for six for nearly two days, would never order from here again! Would strongly recommend to avoid!

Have tried it twice .. both times food clearly cooked before and reheated. The second time pork balls over cooked on outside and the pork was dried out inside

Some of the best Chinese food I have ever had! Yummy and quick service! No wonder it is so popular

I haven't visited for quite some time, unfortunately, the food quality here has decreased considerably from what it once was. Presumably a reflection on now higher produce costs & an effort to maintain profits. Service was always hit & miss, prioritising drunken patrons from the adjacent pub....!!!

Excellent Chinese, we were down on holiday and tried Lees, from initial phone call, I think Rachel,was friendly and helpful, walked round and ordered food and she rang me when it was ready as we were 10 seconds away. Crispy aromatic lamb and duck pancakes were fantastic, sweet and sour king prawn Hong Kong style, chilli crispy beef and special rice were lovely and tasty.

I was worried than an earlier review said it was under new management and portion sizes were smaller. However my prawns in Szechuan Sauce was really great and the portion size didn’t look any smaller - bigger is anything. I enjoyed my meal. Thank you Lees.

You've tried the rest, now try the best 👍

Not worth the money. I ordered chicken fried rice which had hardly any chicken in it. Beef chow mein was chewy. Chips were dry. I'm on holiday so wanted to order local but was a wrong choice.

We hire a cottage at mudeford and the food from here is the best we have had ever . Highly recommended

Pretty good Chinese with good clean, premises. Wide menu, choose your protein and add the sauce of your choice. Very friendly and helpful but a decent online menu would be a nice addition. Fast service as well. Once you know the menu telephone is best.

So we usually go to China at lees new milton. We knew they had changed a couple of months ago as the food was different. So someone recommended lee's in mudeford as they said the chefs have gone there. So we tried it. Very dussapointed...

Having lived abroad for a few years we were really looking forward to our Chinese takeaway, and we were not disappointed at all, everything we had was great especially the crispy duck mmm wish we were here longer

We used to use Lee’s all the time, the quality of the meat used to be excellent, however now the chicken is rubbery (frozen bought in) and tasteless like every other Chinese in the area. Very disappointed.

Yup I agree this is the best Chinese takeaway in the area for sure!

EXCELLENT!! We’re fussy and this food was really lovely. In addition the staff are incredible. Super helpful, friendly and professional. If you want Chinese in the area ORDER FROM HERE!

starters must be all pre cooked prawn toast was soft inedible small spring rolls nothing in them (truly) duck pancakes where not cooked it does not say you have to cook them duck it self was ok prawn balls to much batter and soft rest...

Although we live locally, this was the first time we've tried this take-away. Excellent food, great value, good service and clean and tidy surroundings. Will defo come again.

We have been having takeaways here for a number of years, and it has always been fantastic. However, this week our takeaway was very bad. The crispy duck starter was completely burnt and inedible. The Schezuan Duck was mostly skin and fat. The Prawn dish...

Unfortunately the last 2 Chinese meals we have had were terrible. Not sure if its changed hands of chefs but nope... not nice.

Great food. Family loved it and great value.👍

Will try again as only used once

Just a simple thing like having a online menu would have made our ordering and working out the prices would have been so much easier. Food was nothing special

Also excellent service delivery drivers always friendly and food is always top notch thanks guys

Very good service delivery good good, on the ball,A lot better than the sandpiper inn that's rubbish

I had a sweet n sour chicken Hong Kong style on the 5 June and was really sick during the night and felt ill a day today when I rang to report it was told hope you feel better and even offered a refund very disappointed and won’t using them again or recommend them

Always consistent with the quality of food friendly staff and very helpful

One of the best Chinese take aways I've had, shame I'm not local I'd be having it more often!

Says on website open till 10pm (Monday) wanted to use local buisness during lock down. Wrang 4x no answer. Disappointed!!

Every dish was microwaved tonight. Such a let down as usually ok. Won't be going back again.

Very lovely Chinese was here on holiday and got a takeaway from there and was very impressed ... good service...nice people...food excellent !!!!

Came within 30 minutes. Our selection was all good quality food, very tasty and cooked perfectly. Nice attention to detail in the little extra ingredients. Hot when delivered and the service was helpful and friendly. We shared the dishes and we all said they were...

Always consistent - Would recommend. Better to collect as sometimes food can be cold when delivered but food is good

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR!!! I'd given up on takeaways of all types because you received the same old , standard that most Brits will eat after a few pints. Plus I could make it much better myself. China at Lees Mudeford gave me faith again. We had to wait an hour for our food which says something good right away. The wait was worth it!! Beautifully flavoured/spiced food with an abundance of its star ingredients and plenty of extras/veg. I'm glad this place isn't on my doorstep as I'd be buying their great food every other day. Other takeaways (chinese and Indian) must strive to achieve these standards instead of the same ol identa-meals.

All covid guidelines being followed and once I had place my order our meal was bought very quickly to our car. Food was piping hot and very tasty with free prawn crackers thrown in. Will definitely use again

Best place for Chinese food in the area! Staff are all very friendly and efficient couldn't ask for better service. Very happy customer!

Good value, very quick service, lots of choice. Used it on our holiday to Mudeford. Something for everyone.

I have ordered from China at lees on many of occasions over the years. food is nice, but can’t take criticism if you are dissatisfied with your meal! even if you ask for anything different which is not on the menu, they are not happy to compromise! Staff are rude obnoxious!

Best chinese by far. Have tried many others but none really come close. Always recommend this place :)

My last review of China At Lees was around 4 years ago: we've had around 10 deliveries each year since then... As ever, last week's delivered meal was absolutely delicious, piping hot, correct contents and served with a socially-distanced smile. They always give us a...

We order from you once a week and have never had a bad meal. We tried to order yesterday and you were closed due to covid-19 (I can guess) we ordered from China at lees new Milton due to yourself being closed the food is...

Well where do we start... food ordered 6.20 finally delivered at 820 after a phone call chasing it. Ordered salt and pepper chicken and got chips! Fried rice was boiled rice with peas in it... sweet and sour had no taste. Chow mein swimming in...

Highly recommend. Food is always amazing and to high standard. Would not order from any other Chinese restaurant 😄

Always top notch Chinese food, love it.

Very fresh and clean food, just strange as as all the dishes were completely different to all the Chinese restaurants we have eaten in before. Not that the food was bad, just different.

A huge selection of dishes available, presented in a slightly different way to that I was used to. However, once understood the ordering was straight forward.Excellent service with little delay on a busy evening. Good food, all the meats were of good quality in the various dishes.

Have used this takeaway for 7 years and have always been very happy with the meals. Extremely fast with delivery and very good prices

We have Never been let down by the quality or service at China at Lee's.

We often order takeaways from here and have never had a poor meal. When we go in the service is quick and efficient

I have very high standards for Chinese food having lived there for 4 years. As British chinese takeaways go this is a pretty good place. The soup was slightly watery however the rest of the food was very tasty. Would recommend as a takeout night spot, delivery was fast

Was a very good takeaway, but sadly the food now has an unpleasant tang to it - is it old oil/fat? It has been like this for some time, I think it may have changed hands.

I’m a lorry driver and had one of the best meals from this shop, that I have had for a long time. Travelling around the country, I have eaten many a Chinese meal (take away) and this one I couldn’t recommend more highly. Very polite and helpful staff serving 1st class food. Well done and many thanks

Been having takeaways from here for 8 years...food nice but tonight waited an hour and half for delivery only to be told they forgotten ours and offered a £6 discount on a £30 order and we’d have to wait another half hour! The manager for very defensive and behaved like they were doing us a favour. You’ve had our custom most weekends for years and an acknowledgment that they’d messed up wouldn’t have gone amiss. Never again! You’ve lost our custom forever and there’s plenty of other Chinese takeaways in the area.

Had a absolutely lovely fully edible take away from here. So fresh and hot. Lots of lovely fresh vegetables and fantastic king prawns. All 5 dishes were spot on. So pleased after having the worse chinese take away ever the week before whilst visiting family in another area. Good to be home

We used here for a family Take Away whilst staying in Mudeford. The menu has lots of choice, the prices are average against other places. The food we ordered was piping hot, tasty and good portion sizes too. Food can be ordered and collected or they do a delivery service to the local area. We opted to collect and was served by friendly staff and we was able to watch our food being cooked as they have a fully open kitchen.

this is a truly outstanding take away that has a wide array of beautifully cooked food and staff that match the culinary excellence. what a great find,

Lovely food always hot and beautifully prepared

Great value food perfect service

Average Chinese at best. Better options IMO in highcliffe and christchurch

We ordered over the phone , staying 5 minutes walk away , went to collect , and the staff knew our order without stating name etc and the food was all ready fir us .

Was recommended this place. Order was taken efficiently and friendly front of place staff. Had to wait about 40 mins, although told it was going to be 20 mins. Parking is available. Got the food home, excellent portions and tasted fresh. The food is very good and the long time didn't ruin the meal, just longer than expected

Excellent food, Friendly and Co-operative staff.

We order from here regularly and we are never disappointed. Never felt the need to try any other local Chinese takeaways as this place always delivers fantastically. My husband is a chef so to impress him takes a lot! This is his favourite takeaway restaurant, which speaks volumes! Great range of dishes on the menu, fairly priced and always delivered piping hot and in a reasonable time. Excellent :-)

Great food and good portion sizes. Really enjoyed the king prawn szechuan
