Worth the read, but short answer 10/10 absolutely recommend! Fantastic Food, Large Portions, excellent price!
Today, the employees at Signarama had a lunch celebration and had the opportunity to try Auntie Lee's for the first time. The menu consisted of various dishes such as Pork Xiao Long Bao, Tianjin Pork Meat Bun, Crab Rangoon, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Chicken and Broccoli, General Tso's Chicken, Pork Egg Rolls, and the House Special Lo Mein.
Since Auntie Lee's is not open for lunch, the owner, Kit, kindly delivered our special meal to us. She was extremely friendly and had a positive demeanor. The aroma of the food was so enticing that we couldn't resist starting to fix our plates even before she had left.
The taste of the food exceeded our expectations. Each dish was packed with flavor and was truly enjoyable. The Tianjin Pork, a large stuffed dough with pork, was perfectly cooked and flavorful. We also had a veggie version, but it was quickly devoured by others before I could try it.
The General Tso's Chicken had a delightful blend of spice and flavor. Although I tend to avoid spicy food, I managed to have a small taste. It was good, but a bit too spicy for my personal preference. However, my coworkers raved about it and unanimously agreed that it was the most flavorful General Tso's Chicken they had ever had, giving it a perfect rating of 10/10.
The House Special Lo Mein was a major hit among the employees. It was tender and packed with shrimp, chicken, and beef, making it a satisfying dish.
Normally, I avoid sweet and sour chicken due to the imbalance of meat and breading. However, Auntie Lee's version was perfectly balanced, not overly sweet or sour, and the chicken was of excellent quality.
The pork egg rolls were substantial in size and filled with a generous amount of vegetables and pork. They were truly enjoyable.
Now, onto my personal favorite, the Crab Rangoon. I am usually very particular about Crab Rangoon, but I must say, Auntie Lee's has the best one in Champaign. Instead of the traditional roll shape, Kit folds it to resemble a crab, resulting in a more generously packed filling. I was in heaven while devouring it.
If you haven't tried Auntie Lee's, we highly recommend that you make a visit. They are open until 1am and offer various options such as online ordering, dine-in, takeout, and delivery. You won't regret indulging in a meal from Auntie Lee's. Once again, we extend our gratitude to Kit for making Signarama's day truly amazing with her delicious food.
Additionally, it is worth noting that the portions are quite generous, and the pictures I am sharing were taken after several people had already served themselves. Absolutely delicious!
Very good Chinese food for those that enjoy original Chinese food. I asked for help... but I didn't even get a call back... I wish you would have helped me like I tried to help you by making this review.
The people who run this place are the best. I love them. They're also open late and do delivery through Uber eats. They may offer in house delivery as well. I recommend showing them some love by giving them your business. Give them a try!
Been here a couple times and the fried rice is fantastic. General Tso's chicken has a good level of spice to it unlike other places where there is none, definitely a new favorite late night stop.
Great place to order late night Chinese from. I usually go for their chicken dishes like the sesame chicken, but my coworker swears by their double cooked pork.
Probably my favorite Chinese place in town. The food is spectacular, and I’ve only ever had a problem with deliver once throughout my dozens of orders, a mistake that the owner graciously solved. The portion sizes are good, don’t listen to reviews that say otherwise. The food is also priced well, not being overly expensive, which is a breath of fresh air compared to other restaurants that have been steadily hiking their prices up recently. The delivery hours are a little odd to some people, but if you work late you’ll probably come to appreciate the how late you can place an order. Definitely give this place a try, you won’t regret it.
Great food and quantity for reasonable prices. The owners are really nice
Took a chance on this place despite the extremely polarizing reviews, and I'm glad I did! Don't believe the negative reviews, they're mostly written by white people who are mad that real Chinese cooking doesn't taste like Panda Express. I'm Cantonese and I was thrilled to see how extensive Aunty Lee's menu is, reminds me of home :)
Didn't understand others' complaints about portion size, my partner and I got dumplings and beef chow ho fun to share and still had leftovers.
Also, they delivered on time during a tornado watch and were very good about communicating the delivery progress to me.
Their shrimp rolls at night are amazing. They also followed some requests I added when ordering! Great service!
This is the only place that I can order good food at late night. The owner of the restaurant is very friendly and knowledgeable about their food. The female owner takes the time to explain to me their menu. The food is good, the price is not the cheapest, I have to say, but who else will deliver food at such weird hours? They have good portion size food, so I get more then what I pay. I like their variety of food. They offer not just Chinese American food. I like their authentic Chinese food, too. Mongolian beef is my favorite. I definitely will order again.
Extremely delicious food, definitely recommend the General Tso's Combo and Crab Rangoon! Very kind delivery person as well- patient and considerate! Not sure why they have so low reviews, but I definitely recommend Aunty Lee's if you are craving Chinese Food- especially in the evenings!
This place is a blessing when I get home from work in the middle of the night since they are open so late. I've never had delivery problems because they are close to where I live so I order for pick up, but when I call in the order they are very nice and the food is always ready. I love their sesame chicken combo and they have great xiao long bao. It's a little mom and pop shop so there are times, usually at peek hours, where the food takes a little longer but it's definitely worth the wait!
Great food. I come here about once a week to satisfy cravings. Try their Kari Laksa
