Wing Lee in York

In all the 100's of times i have ordered crispy duck i have never had the duck mixed with lettuce. It meant the amount of duck was 1/2 of what you normally get. Very disappointed. If I had wanted a bowl of lettuce i would have asked for one. Sadly wont be going there again and will advise all my friends about it 😞.

Great local Chinese, great tasting, good portions; and lovely staff

Always 10/10! Never had a bad one

Always banging never had a bad one. The salt and pepper dishes are really good and the mains all come with a side. Only annoying thing is it’s cash only and no delivery drivers

Food was good and quick. The curry was a little spicy for a Chinese but overall good.

Food is good with plenty of choice. I would describe this place as a no thrills takeaway. Cash only, no delivery. Menu is attached as a picture from July 2023.

Ordered two gluten free meals and chips well it definately wasnt gluten free because I have been really ill for days!!! Wont be coming back again!

This place is not great. Missing items. Food somehow managed to be taste of nothing and taste horrible at the same time. Even the prawn crackers tasted funky.

Doesn't do delivery. Perhaps should update that

Always great. Proper Chinese takeaway.

Best chinese in york by a long way. Only take cash tho no card payments

They are good with gluten free and I enjoyed it a few times I went. But tonight I biked away and they forgot to give chips even though we only ordered two meals went back and Mum didnt eat any of hers I said on the phone can we have stir fried chicken no batter and she said cantonese style so I said yes... It came in batter we didnt know that was contonese but asked for no batter. The fried rice was all stuck together so was like mush we both couldnt eat it and mum paid almost £20. Dissapointed! Im going to take it back and show them tomorrow

Really good for coeliacs like myself the lady even highlighted everything I cant have on the menu great service and yummy sweet n sour

Once again I ask for chow mein and end up with vermicelli noodles slop

Avoid gave us the wrong meal with food allergies ignored. Full refund not given, unprofessional staff

ordered Singapore noodles got mushed gloop and at £7:20 it was inedible and a rip off!

Extremely disappointed will never use again

Service very good. Food always very tasty. Quite busy on Saturday evenings but still no more than 20 minutes wait. Server very friendly.

We ordered 3 meals & even that they can’t get right!? Every time we order food something is always missing& they expect you to walk back up for missing items. I will use other Chinese restaurants in the future.

Says 11 on google and door, shut at 10:12.

Very busy and nice food. Reasonable prices too. What's not to like.

Good Chinese food good value for the money never had any complants would recommend.

Steady away Chinese Take Away reliable

Really Really nice chicken curry and fried rice !!!

Too much curry powder in their Singapore noodles, they tasted powdery as a result and weren’t good.

Excellent food highly recommend

Oh dear. Seriously. 9pm on a Saturday and they run out of rice? Doesn’t sound like a particularly well managed outlet to me. Thankfully this is a one off visit.

Finally found a delicious Chinese take away! Love it!!!

Been going to wing lee for years and it is still (in my opinion) the best Chinese takeaway . Food always perfect 👌

I have visited this Chinese takeaway many times and each time it has been delicious

Tasty food! Best Chinese in York. Always phone order for pick up. Food always ready and piping hot on arrival. Would highly recommend it

Just got a takeaway, normaly love it here. Raw potatoe in my chow main. Beef was super dry and chewy. Best bit was salt and pepper chicken but wasnt very fresh as abit chewy. Sad and disappointed cause its normally really good.

Reasonably priced, and good sized portions.

Pros: - very good food, - nice selection Cons: - cash only (no ATB in the area)

Nothing special, middle of the road food. Often gets orders wrong.

I had chicken n black bean sauce, fried rice. Not a lot of flavour with the chicken black bean sauce. Egg Fried rice was tasty, Husband had house special chow Mein & egg fried rice. Very bland chow Mein but again tasty egg fried rice. Not the worst mean but definitely not the best either. We are all different and I’m sure plenty will enjoy their meal but unfortunately mine was below average.

Visiting family for a not so good occasion being a family funeral. I can honestly say I have never written a review in my life, but felt the need to today before I have even eaten my food. To be honest I have eaten from some really bad places being ex army in some 3rd world countries. The crispy chilli beef was soggy and even I couldn't stomach it with my iron stomach. I am writing this review as I really cant believe anyone would have the cheek and audacity to call that food.

Excellent food and friendly service

Always banging, best Chinese in York hands down! The only problem now is it’s actually quite expensive

Open at 5pm every day except Tuesday and open till late. Parking on roadside. Only takes cash. Good food, try the chicken curry with boiled rice. Reasonable prices.

Average food, average prices, place is dropping to bits, hope the bits we cant see are a bit cleaner 🙊

Everything I would expect from a curry. Hot and tasty! Reminded me why I used to have Chinese instead of Indian.

Nice sweet and sour sauce, Cantonese balls are really nice. Salt and pepper chips are good. Rice nice, currys quite spicy, fu young dishes really nice and also add extra veg if requested. Overall service good. Order in advance as can get very busy with wait times up to an hour.

Great food freshly cooked very clean establishment, very friendly owners .

Waited 30 mins for my order, got home 4 miles away to discover half the order was missing. Travelled back to pick up the rest of the order and received little in the way of an apology. Eventually ended up eating cold Chinese over an hour after I walked in to the place. I wouldn’t have minded so much if the food was of any decent standard but it wasn’t; excessively oily and bland.

Absolutely love the food here. Prices are very reasonable. Special fried rice is amazing the best I've had from anywhere definitely recommend friends and family to come here

Placed an order, which took an hour. When opened at home a whole meal was missing. I left my meal going cold to collect missing meal, only to find them cooking incorrect food! When they eventually cooked it,I checked it & the sauce was missing!! No apology given,they really didn’t care, & this seems to be a recurrent theme as this has happened last few times! After a busy week at work this was supposed to be a treat for the family but we ended up eating separately!! Not good!

Best Chinese in a 60 mile radius for me. Bit awkward being on the way home from work. I live in ripon too.

Had king prawns in batter on egg fried rice with sweet and sour sauce.... Absolutely lush! 😊😊😊

Food is of a good quality but they seriously need to sort out how to control the orders coming in, would definitely benefit from getting a computer system installed. Also when someone walks in to place and order I find it quite rude to keep answering the phone to take orders when you have stood there 5minutes. Service was always bad but since the new people came it has got worse.

Reliably great Chinese, best I’ve found in the York area. Only down side is when they say 20 mins expect 30, but you get used to this. In other words it’s worth the wait .

Excellent as always hence why it's always really busy . Can't fault it . I have something different every time as every dish is spot on . A bit annoying how busy it gets but I'd rather have to wait to get this quality

Great food. Always busy so be prepared to wait a while. It's worth waiting for.

Never ready on time however the food is the best in York! Believe me I've tried them all! Top notch food at wing lee! Sezchuan and curry specifically!

Been going here since it became a Chinese takeaway approximately 14 years ago and I still rate it as one of the best around York!! I know people who are willing to travel from Haxby and further afield past others to enjoy the food from here and we love the salt and pepper king prawns!!!

The Chicken is Fantastic and I can particularly recommend the Salt and Pepper Chicken :-)

food is excellent & tasty, always piping hot, one of the best in york, not to be missed

Terrible not even sure it was food never mind a Chinese...obscenely peppery wet gravy with burned noodles and left over pork from a Sunday roast... Go the the crispy duck boroughbridge road

Always a good meal, enjoyed by all of us. We order to collect and it's always pretty quick. The prawn crackers and chips are good too!

Really nice salt and pepper bean curd. Great service

We're staying in a village not too far away so drove here for a takeaway. Being fussy eaters we checked out the menu beforehand but on arrival it was slightly different. They were perfectly happy to accommodate slightly off menu ordering though and even helped with the decision making! Food was tasty and good sized portions, would eat from here again.

Very pleasant lady at the counter and a lovely meal.😁

Great value, not fine dining. But all food was very good

Good quality and cheap... sometimes busy so waiting can be a negative but if you allow for the time no problem

Have had a few meals over the past 3-4 months. Very tasty, good size portions and good value. Usually order over phone and can be very busy at times but worth the wait.

Wing lee has been my local takeaway for many years now ordering myself a Beef in green peppers & blackbean sauce every friday for the past 5 years atleast. Food quality and quantity is great and even after the price increase last year prices are still considerably cheaper then anywhere else !!!

Pretty standard food, average takeaway prices, nothing special, nothing really poor about the place.

Great food large portions. Good prices. Always a smiling girl at the counter. Had to wait for.the food as others were in front but totally worth it! I always eat from here every time I am in York!

Got takeaway here, was damn tasty!

Fui a pedir comida para llevar, pero acababa de cerrar, fui a mi coche y un miembro del personal salió y me dijo que podía comer un poco de pollo al curry y arroz. ¿Qué puedo decir, excepto gracias, y sin duda volveré? Prometo llegar a tiempo para pagarlo. Fue grandioso gracias.

All food over cooked chicken very dry Not the best

Good takeaway, regular over many years,,. Can be very busy at times,, takes orders over the phone which speeds it up a little

We love Wing Lee... food of a consistent standard. Telephoning an order is a bit hot and miss. Sometimes easier to turn up and order. Pleased to live nearby.

Can't fault it, use Wing Lee all the time . How busy they are constantly shows they are good

Delicious authentic Chinese food and value for money. Great customer service. Would recommend this takeaway - thumbs up!!!

Fuimos en el día cambiaron los precios. Los precios han sido planteadas, pero la calidad de la comida no ha mejorado. Cuando yo estaba sentado esperando mi pedido la señora desgarrada los precios fuera de la barra en frente de un cliente en una manera profesional para no fumadores. La comida estaba por debajo de lo que era razonable. No es que ayuda a la comida, pero la estética son terribles. Hay un cartel en la pared muy antigua con falta de letras que dicen cosas graciosas. ¿Por qué no tomar lo que le dan al lugar una capa de pintura? ¿Por qué no dar a sus clientes una buena experiencia? Finalmente mi pensamiento son es China llevar. . . Es rápido y probablemente no le dará una intoxicación alimentaria. Sin embargo, hay algunos lugares mejores en la ciudad que le dan la mejor comida de calidad con una experiencia más agradable.

A good local Chinese takeaway with the usual range of dishes. Well cooked and tasty. Takes orders over phone but never sure they still don't wait for you to arrive before cooking your order

Been coming here for years, never had any complaints. Great food, always tasty and friendly folk.

wing lees was lit .made me moist

We've eaten from Wing Lee many times and it's usually quite nice, but this evening the food was terrible. I'm wondering if they might have given us food that someone had ordered but hadn't collected - several hours before. The rice was congealed and cold. The chicken was overcooked, reheated and burnt. Never again.

Qué espera agradable basado en las críticas anteriores, sin embargo, después de visitar la semana pasada nos dejaron totalmente defraudado. Pedimos varios platos diferentes, todo lo que se ve perjudicada por la misma salsa grasienta que sabía más como salsa. Tienen una gran variedad de platos de patatas fritas y sin duda la mejor que hemos tenido en un chino. En general no recomendaría y por desgracia no volveremos.

Very Poor quality, food was okay however the sauce ruined everything more like greasy gravy. Only positive was that the chips were great! best we've had from a Chinese.

The best Chinese take away in York camped at York sports club went to the Chinese 4 times while there got other campers to go all came back and said how very good the food was you have to give it a try

Im a regular customer of Wing Lee i eat from here atleast once a week cannot go wrong with the food they serve my favourite has to be Beef&Green; peppers in black bean sauce !!!

Ala Lee es una gran comida para llevar china. honesto La comida siempre es super sabrosa y las porciones son generosas. Naturalmente los platos están bien sazonada y probablemente tienen un pizco de MSG, pero no te sientes mal por lo que es una verdadera ventaja. Las tostadas de gambas, por ejemplo, es seco y fresco, no graso o grasienta. Recomendado.

Este es otro lugar que visitar cuando casi siempre en Nueva York. Sólo para llevar, sin asientos.

Gr8 food always fresh n piping hot. Worth the wait at busy times.

We have eaten here for probably once a fortnight for the past couple of years and never once had a bad order, when you are ordering it is sometimes difficult to get through to the Chinese employees however I would expect this seen as it is a Chinese takeaway.As I do find takeaway food generally quite greasy I didn't really feel this here, and as for the fact you couldn't find a menu try asking for a paper one as there is a huge menu on the wall if you are going to order there and then. Would thoroughly recommend.

Called in last night and had crispy beef and sweet and sour chicken.Generous portions and food very good.Will be back....

One of the best Chinese Meals ever, loved the food !! My aromatic duck was to die for, yum.Would highly recommend :-)

Popped in on way home to get menu for family of 5 and no menus, so no order. Seems a bit daft that a fast food place like this doesn't have a take home menu

Only a takeaway and not a restaurant but when I'm in York I used to go there quite a lot (only because it was very convenient to where I was staying). When I was living in Bristol my regular Chinese takeaway was also part chip shop but this is your basic counter and behind the scenes kitchen affair.Typical ,not really genuine, Chinese Style Anglicised dishes which are actually pretty average and some (like the curry) are horrible. Fried Rice is reasonably appetising but other popular dishes like Chow Mein taste very odd when compared to other establishments. Service is great if the older staff are serving, usually during the week when it is quieter but forget it on weekends and busy periods unless you have phoned ahead. I certainly won't be going there again after my last visit when I was ignored even though I was standing at the counter and the two people who came in behind me had their orders taken before I was even acknowledged. I can understand the staff getting confused the first time but the second time ? Just very poor service. I did raise the issue but they didn't seem bothered so they have lost my custom.

Wing Lee is AWESOME!!! I've been using them now for about 6 years and although I have tried others, NONE compare. The prices are very very reasonable, the quality of food and choice is fantastic. The service is always friendly and the portions are very generous, unlike some others in York. Just wish they would deliver. Rich
