Best in Chinatown
I've been coming here for four years. While the atmosphere is casual, the food can't be beat, not even in NYC. The salt baked squid is a real delight, the best around, and the menu caters to more traditional chinese menu items as well as the more popular americanized dishes. But don't get the old stand0bys: this place shines in the lesser known dished like the squid, the winter melon soup, the sauteed snow pea leaves, and the lemon duck. The staff is always courteous and will get to know you if you are a regular. Be prepared to wait if you come on a Saturday night, but at lunch it's always easy to get a table. Go with a group and eat family style: you'll pay around $11-12 each, a feast for not a lot of money.

Not recommended
We went into the City to Lee How Fook for dinner. The service was bad. We ask for the hot tea as we had only cups and still we never got any tea. We had to ask them to bring my daughter's meal out which was late and fatty tasting. I thought the atmosphere lacked a lot. Was not worth the trip.

Awesome!
I have only been to Lee How Fook for lunch, but it was awesome. The pan fried dumplings are awesome, although... i do have to say, there were two waitresses preparing them for the dinner crowd, so they were sitting in front of a big pile of ground pork stuffing dumplings, i didn't feel like it was dirty or anything but in my opinion, food prep should be done in the back.... the chicken fried rice and general tso's were some of the best i've ever had, and i hear the hot and sour soup is amazing on a cold day!

Excellent food...loud atmosphere
The food was very good. However, the small room was so loud, I could barely have a convesation.

Delicious and Weight Watcher Friendly
My husband and I are regulars and we always get the delicious and fresh whole steamed fish with ginger and scalions, Singapore noodles, and Szechuan green beans. We share all three and usually have leftover noodles and green beans for another day.

yummiest in chinatown
my fiancee moved to chinatown a little over a year ago. since then we've been trying every restaurant in sight, but we always come back to lee how fook. the food is fabulous. my fiance swears by their kung pao chicken. i like to try something new every time. each time we go, there are always regulars around who suggest a new dish for us to try...good to know that so many others love this place too!
