Most Disliked
Some diners mention a wait for food, a result of the meals being freshly cooked. This can be a tad inconvenient if you're in a hurry, particularly during peak hours. Others have noted that although there is no delivery service, they find it well worth their time to pick up the meals themselves. While many appreciate the atmosphere, a few have pointed out that it can get a bit busy during dinner times, leading to a more crowded dining experience. Lastly, a handful of guests mention the limited payment options, which can make things tricky for those preferring contactless payments, as cash and bank transfers remain the primary choices. Overall, these minor issues do not overshadow the popular reputation Lee's Cantonese has earned over the years.

Chippy tea on a Friday. Great food, staff very pleasant. You sometimes have to wait for food to be cooked, but at least it is freshly made. It's a great local Cantonese and chip shop. They keep the place immaculate. Well done.
