Lees Chinese Take Away in Ryedale

We stayed nearby and had used this place a few years ago. The service was quick as we were the first customers after opening and the food was very tasty although my wife wasn't a massive fan of the fried rice. The surprise was the price as dishes were a couple of pounds dearer in Yorkshire than down south in Bedfordshire, I always though the north was cheaper and Yorkshire men traditionally tight with their money😁 The other Chinese in Pickering also has similar prices so not an isolated occurrence.

Found Lee's last year on holiday. Good menu choices and very tasty. Returned this year - just as good - recommended.

Great food as always im a regular friendly staff and value for money would recommend especially the special chow mein

One of the worst I have had, this was bland,sloppy and not cheap. None of the family ate much and the comments were all the same. Avoid this!

We have ordered from Lee’s many times and always been happy with the food and service until now. We ordered a take away and asked at the time of ordering for the total cost. We’d added it up from the menu and there was a £3 difference in their menu and their quoted cost. This was understandable given the rising cost of food. However when my husband went to collect the food…the quoted price on the phone was £37 for 4 main meals and 2 starters. The actual cost they charged him was £47 and they weren’t interested in the quoted cost. The young man serving was very rude and dismissed my husband entirely. We will not be returning and suggest all future customers check the price more than once.

Enjoyed a delicious takeaway for four when we stayed in nearby self catering. Telephoned the order through which was ready when we arrived to collect and everything was hot and tasty. Extensive menu with plenty to choose from.

one of the most expensive Chinese restaurants even compared with london £40 for two small bowls of soup and two meagre curries definitely not worth the money and not worth a second visit

Absolutely can’t fault it. We’re here for a few days holiday, so called for a takeaway at 8pm and told to collect at 8.25. Food was ready on arrival and service was prompt and friendly. Portions were very generous and the food was of a very high standard. Meat was super tender, and both dishes were delicious. All told, probably some of the best Chinese food I’ve eaten.

Ordered a takeaway while on holiday in early June 2021. Excellent quality food. Generous portion of young chow rice, delicious sweet and sour prawn balls, chicken curry also very good. Would recommend.

Typical chinese takeaway, decent menu and reasonable prices. Portion size is generous and you need to select a rice dish to suit your taste.

Had my tea from there tonight. Was the worst tasting meal ever. Sausage i wouldn't give to my dog. The whole meal was horrible. And I've been going for years. Never again

Horrendous service. I am a local and have used this takeaway many a time but never again.! They messed up the order big time, no apology, just demanded us to drive back to return her food if we wanted our money back or rtn the mistakes and swop, leaving the rest of the food going cold. I even suggested a small compensation to cover petrol and inconvenience (a £5 voucher would have been fine and they would have got repeat business) but no ..just more shouting and then she slammed the phone down. Not a nice way to treat a local.

A Very Pleasant Meal. Having lived in Hong Kong for over 10 years and having made numerous trips to China, I am well acquainted with good and unfortunately bad Chinese Food. Lee’s Takeway was a very pleasant surprise. Our meal was Spring Rolls, Yung Chow Fried Rice, Char Siu with Ginger and Spring Onion, and Beef with Green Pepper and Black Bean Sauce. The Spring Rolls were hot and tasty, a bit thin on the filling, but still had good flavour. Yung Chow Rice was perfect, flavours of home for both of us. The Beef was well marinated and succulent, with the green peppers fresh and crisp. The black bean sauce provided a excellent base and was the perfect match to the beef, not over powering, but very complimentary. Now the Char Siu came with mixed onion ginger and small slivers of carrot. Honestly, I have only ever had Char Siu as a stand alone dish with sometimes veg on the side. This version was good, but I do prefer the standalone meal. That being said this was flavourful and worked well with our other dishes. This was a feast for us and remarkably good value at £23.30. Thank you Lee’s Takeaway for providing a taste of our former home. We will be back!

Ordered takeaway and it was ready when I arrived to collect. All 3 dishes (chicken chow mein, chicken with cashews and beef szechuan) were large portions, clearly freshly cooked and very tasty. Did have some chips which were actually very nice (although unlike other reviews a Chinese takeaway shouldn't be judged on its chip !) and curry sauce, again nice flavour. Recently moved to area and have used this takeaway 3 times now and found food consistently good and freshly cooked. Will return.

Just had our takeaway and my children had sweet and sour chicken, they had eaten through 1 or 2 when I noticed the chicken looked pink, I cut open the rest and they we all pink and well undercooked 🤢🤢🤢

While staying locally in a B & B we had a takeaway from Lees and it was really good. 3 main meals plus some extra's and it was all very tasty. It was a little more expensive than i am used to paying. But would definitely go again. And i ususally get a free bag of prawn crackers at home, but not here. It would have been 5 star, but the cost and no crackers loses a star!

I have been going here since 2 years now and I don’t regret anything about it. Lovely people, very respectful and caring. I prefer lees Chinese to any Chinese cause lees Chinese is the best I have ever tasted. Good price for perfect food

Very good meal. Called last night for a takeaway. Food was very good. Freshly cooked and very tasty.

We’ve had an excellent take away from Lees tonight. Meal for 2 that will do 2 nights! Chinese take aways often disappoint compared to restaurant meals but this one didn’t. Would definitely recommend and we shall be calling in next time we are visiting.

This is the best Chinese take away I’ve eaten from. 10/10. Special fried rice is delicious. Can’t wait to visit Pickering again just to call here.

I read reviews on any place that I plan to eat, and Lees was no exception. The food was tasty and plentiful. The cost was as expected ,but definitely not expensive.This is a local Chinese take away with pleasant customer service, good quality food at good prices. If you would like the next step up, the Chinese opposite the railway station is far better, but is nearly twice the price.I would highly recommend this takeaway for tasty economical food.

We thought we would give Lees a go despite the number of bad reviews and we were so pleased we did. The food was absolutely gorgeous and chips were definitely not reheated it was very tasty. The lady serving me was also very helpful. Had a great experience and would definitely Recommend Lees.

THIS PLACE IN A WASTE OF MONEY AND FOOD IS DISGUSTING Stay away from this place it's the worst chinese in My life and I'm 44 and been all over Scotland and England and love chinese food but this place is disgusting STAY CLEAR and it's very expensive TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY i had a family of 4 and we spent nearly £40 The chips wher reaheat and soggy the chicken was out a bag of frozen chicken NOT BREAST and the curry was enough to put u off chinese for life 0 out of 10 for me this place gives me the fear and when i phoned to speak to them about it they said sorry no speak English but they could speak very good English when they took my money...... NEVER BE BACK 100% WASTE OF MONEY

These chips have been re cooked disgusting. Expensive avoid try somewhere else. Chips rock hard not a nice Chinese and I read reviews before I visited worst I ve tried

Visited here for a takeaway whilst on holiday, the chips were soggy, the bbq spare ribs awful and to cap it all we ordered chicken fried rice and just got egg fried rice. No free prawn crackers and the price was way above what we normally pay, wouldn't mind if the quality was good. AVOID AVOID!!!

This is my absolute favourite place to eat, the workers are really kind and the food is extremely delicious. 5 stars, would recomment to anyone.

Sauces were thin, food a bit tasteless and the chips were soggy and inedible, we bought 10 meals for a birthday celebration whilst away camping so spent a fair bit and non of the meals good. Very disappointing.

The chips from this place are not fit for animal consumption, never mind human. I ordered chips with a meal on two separate occasions and I had to throw them out. Chips were black almost all over.

Best Chinese takeaway ever!Sweet and sour pork Hong-Kong style is yummy! The price is right too, does not hurt your pocket too much. Could be a bit more customer friendly though.

The food was of excellent quality and the service was friendly and fast. We called in here by chance to order food and was not disappointed.

First visit and I’m very impressed. Salt & pepper special box only £8. Decent portion as well. Very friendly staff. 4 star for now as not tried other dishes.

Great food. We used this takeaway one evening after being let down and disappointed by the Buck Inn in Wrelton and decided on a take away and we were not disappointed. Used this place last time we were in the area too and will use again. Thank you for saving the night!!

We called here for a couple of takeaway curries so that we could go back to watch tv in the warmth and comfort of our holiday accommodation. We ordered a beef curry with boiled rice and a mixed curry with fried rice - lovely tasting and reasonably priced. Will devinat3ly go back when next in the area.

The tofu was very tasty and a good size portion. The vegetable noodles were okay but not the best I have ever had. Reasonable value for money and all very fresh.

Called in on Saturday evening , queuing out of the door telephone orders coming in all the time, order taken quickly and ready quickly, food was really nice , would definitely use again.

I called in to buy curry and rice.

Tried this takeaway on recommendation on Sunday 24th July, we had special fried rice and char Sui Kung po , with some salt and pepper ribs soft noodles and prawn crackers, it was fantastic really tasty and plentiful in fact it fed us twice which was just as well because I would have traveled over from

This takeaway has parking nearby. The food was of a good quality and the portions were generous. Service was quick and friendly. Credit cards not accepted.

All the family had a takeaway for a 50th and the food was absolutely wonderful. Fast service, gorgeous food - what more do you want?! Oh and reasonably priced!! Amazing!

i have stopped ordering from this place. it is over priced and the food is poor. they don't seem to ever change their cooking oil as the fried food is always looking like it has been over cooked or re-heated.

Popped in whilst on holiday, greeted by a polite young man. Great choice of food on the menu. Took 15 minutes for our order, we took it back to our cottage and it was piping hot. The food was delicious and plentiful. Best chinese we've had in a long time.

We decided to have a takeaway after a long absence . We really enjoyed it. They don't deliver so I would not be able to have this on my own as I am now disabled.

Stayed in pickering for a short stay and decided to try this takeaway and wasn't disappointed. The portions are large and tasty, we had Singapore vermicelli and sweet and sour king prawn hong kong syle , crispy seaweed and salt and pepper chips. Was excellent value for money. The only thing I have to question is why the food standard agency rating is not shown on door.

Fantastic food really reccomend chicken balls in cantonese sauce. Lovely friendly staff :) fab chinese take away

The food here is beautifully made and tastes amazing, it's fast they are the best Chinese Take Away around here. Highly Recommended

During a recent short stay, we called in on bank holiday Monday at gone 7, ordered a sweet & sour chicken with fried rice and was told it would be about 45 mins, so we went for a walk around Pickering. As it was slightly raining, we went back after 15-20 mins to wait only to find the meal was ready (already in a bag in the back), if we had left it any later it would have been cold. The meal itself was a disappointment, the sauce had a very strong vinegar taste, at first we thought the rice was only plain boiled rice but then we saw some egg, however it was extremely dry. I suppose if you have nothing to compare it to you might think it was okay but this was one of the poorest I've had, not recommended.

Was reluctant to go to Lees after reading some poor reviews but decided against it. Really pleased we did as the service was very quick and the food was absolutely delicious. The best Chinese we have had in a very long time. From my experience can definitely recommend Lees.

We really enjoyed a banquet for two. We are happy with what we are familiar with and were not disappointed. The service was good and there was plenty to eat.

Had a takeaway for 4 of us. A wide variety of dishes all of which were very tasty. This was the first time we had tried this place. Will definitely be back.

Lovely Chinese, beautifully prepared, exquisite food and quick service, may well be the best Chinese in the area!

Tasty Chinese food that doesn't cost the earth like some others a fast service we just phone our order in and oick up 10 min later absolutely fantastic service

Stayed in Pickering recently, wanted a lazy evening in with friends that live in this lovely place so ordered from Lees on their recommendation. Great quality and quantity meant that this has to be top rated and will certainly visit again when next here.

Didn't feel like going out or cooking. We had a very enjoyable meal, l could not fault it, very good value.

Lee's does a great job in chinese takeaway with many choices to choose from. Price is reasonable with large portions of food. This is the place to go if you would like to have chinese food for the night.

Lovely food, lovely staff, great prices, can't complain at all, love the salt and pepper chicken wings omg best ever

Food ok, on the high end price wise we think, good staff, quick service. ample car parking near by, phone ahead with order is usually quicker

Its a very small takeaway but the food is great and at a good price, try the king prawn garlic chilly not too hot. They do it with chicken if you don't like sea food.

We ordered from here the night we arrived for our holiday, staff were friendly, the food is some of the best chinese takeaway food I have eaten and the portion sizes were huge we couldn't eat it all, would definitely recommend this place to anyone with a chinese food urge!
