Master Critic Review

Lee's Wok 7.6
Lakeview
A Montrose corridor takeout option that’s best used for straightforward, sauce-and-rice comfort when you keep the order focused. Stick to one classic stir-fry plus one side so it stays in its most consistent lane and arrives hot.
Must-Try Dishes: Beef and broccoli, Chicken fried rice, Egg rolls

What makes it special: Straightforward takeout that hits best when ordered tight and classic.
Who should go: Solo diners and quick weeknight takeout shoppers
When to visit: Early evening for fastest pickup
What to order: Beef and broccoli, chicken fried rice, egg rolls
Insider tip: Choose one stir-fry and one rice/noodle—skip extra mains for better timing.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking along Montrose and nearby side streets; usually manageable on weekdays, tighter during peak dinner hours.
Dress code: Casual — jeans, hoodies, and everyday wear are standard.
Noise level: Low — primarily takeout traffic with minimal dine-in noise.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes for pickup during peak hours
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — vegetable stir-fries, fried rice, and lo mein can be ordered meat-free.
Vegan options: Limited — possible with vegetable-based dishes if sauces are adjusted; confirm when ordering.
Gluten-free options: Limited — rice-based dishes are safer bets, but cross-contact is likely.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal — this is better suited for quick takeout than a sit-down, linger-and-talk meal.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, but seating is minimal and informal; most customers order to go.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — familiar flavors, simple dishes, and quick service work well for kids, especially for takeout.
Best For
Better for: Fast, budget-friendly Chinese takeout when you want classic sauce-and-rice comfort without overthinking the order.
Skip if: You’re looking for elevated regional Chinese cooking, a sit-down dining experience, or strong dietary accommodations.
