Excellent and authentic. You know you're getting good szechuan food when your face goes numb. It's their special peppercorn spices.
Another gem in Squirrel Hill I frequented at least twice a month during my time in Pittsburgh. It's one of the gems I find myself returning after so many years to enjoy traditional Sichuan cuisine. Try the pork intestine. It's otherworldly.
I visited based on the Yelp reviews. I was not very impressed. Parking is a feat especially around the 6:00 hour. I parked a few streets down in a residential area which was a short walk and not too bad. How Lee is small and located in a downtown “main” street area. The place has a few tables and some booths. My waitress was attentive and she promptly waited on me which was very nice. The food was plated beautifully but lacking in taste and seasoning. The portion was indeed generous and the dishes are family style. Overall not very impressed with the taste of the food despite the fact that it looked delicious. I ordered the braised tofu and the beef large noodle.
Restaurant is a little dirty inside and run down. Food was just ok, nothing to write home about. The staff was polite and customer focused but I can't say I would go back out and re-order.
Really great traditional Chinese food in Squirrel Hill ..Fresh and flavorful cuisine. Moderately priced and decent portions. Nice Restaurant
