Chef Lee's Peking Ii - Columbus

The dining experience was enjoyable. We were seated quickly, and our water glasses were refilled within two minutes. We placed our order, and the food arrived in less than five minutes. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that we had trouble getting the attention of a server for a refill, likely because they were understaffed. Additionally, when we visited, the payment line extended back from the checkout into the dining area, which was a bit of an inconvenience. Overall, it’s a popular spot for lunch, and we had a nice time before leaving.

Chef Lee's is undoubtedly the best Chinese restaurant in Columbus, GA. The Mongolian beef and egg drop soup are simply delicious, and the Mu Shu Schwein is equally fantastic. The ambiance of the restaurant is stunning, featuring several waterfalls and a bridge that allows you to walk over glass and view the fish below. Additionally, the outdoor area boasts an impressive koi pond where guests can feed the fish.

The food is on the pricier side, but it's quite delicious. The egg rolls are fantastic, though they could use a bit more filling, as it tends to fall out when dipped in the hot mustard. The filling mainly consists of cabbage, which is inexpensive, so I think they could be more generous with it. I tried the Mongolian beef, which was slightly sweet but still tasty. I also had the canton soup, and it was packed with large pieces of pork, carrots, and cabbage. I'd consider coming back occasionally, but a thorough deep cleaning of the restaurant is definitely needed.

Chef Lee?s has been my favorite restaurant for years since I was a kid. The last two times I was back in town? ve away and both times it was as hot in the restaurant as they did not even open the air. The fans were laid around the dining areas, but they didn't help at all. I thought maybe the air conditioning went out and that was a single time, but went months later and it was just the same. 90 degrees out and no air! We had to go and not even eat there. Do not know why they spent money on these robots if customers cannot even eat comfortably. I really hope this can be addressed because I would like to go back! Eating usually tastes the same, maybe a bit more blazing, with the exception of the egg drop, which seemed quite different than her old egg drop, which was my favorite. But the air thing is the biggest problem and I hope they can fix it because I would like to come back if it could! I understand that there is an adjustment time and I hope that the new owners can finally get the restaurant back into its former glory!

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 they are so salty- not this one
