I honestly prefer this place over BCD. It's close to work, so our office goes at least once a month or so, but I will togo food from here often. They have really good spicy pork and their tofu soup is so flavorful! My girl always get the beef tofu soup and bulgogi combo and craves it at least once a week. There is plenty of parking out front and the staff is very friendly. Good food and good prices!

Favorite comfy dinner spot! I come here when I want to avoid crowds and enjoy decently priced Korean food. We like to share the tofu soup and bulgogi combo. I especially like eating there on cold nights! If you need to walk it off after, there are stores to browse in the same plaza (:

Had the pork soon tofu soup (mild). Delicious. Bubbly. You crack a raw egg it it to cook. I load it with my rice which comes also in an iron cast bowl. Banchan is lovely tho I don't like fish, but am taking it all home to someone who loves kimchee and a deep fried fish. I liked the dressing on the salad. The portions were perfect for one person...or to share. But it's all mine. Prices reasonable for this cuisine. Even better on weekdays. It's was quiet on a gorgeous sunny 72 degree day, so easily seated in a pleasant comfortable space clean spacious. My first time here. I'll be back with friends and family in tow. Highly recommend. Free Parking. easy at noon, surprising I'm thus busy mini strip mall in Atlantuc Square.

Omg how did I never order the spicy cold noodles for the amount of times I have been here. This is a regular spot for me and my boyfriend!! We always get the soup and lately we have been ordering the bibimbap which is sooo good dipped into the hot soup! So good! This time I decided to get the cold noodles bc of how freaking hot it's been and omg I'm so mad at not ordering it before! 10/10 recommend this to people who like the cold noodles very good the spice is not too spicy either for people who can't eat spicy. I definitely can tho so yes just had to come on here and share cause I'm gonna be ordering this way more for hot days.

TO GO ORDER REVIEW This place gets 5 star for delicious food and generous portions. I was surprised at how much side dishes they gave. Also the chicken soup they put extra broth in a bowl since the chicken itself took a lot of space in the container. Tofu soup: standard medium spicy beef tofu. Bbq chicken was tasty flavored perfectly not too sweet not too bland. Grilled onions delish. Chicken soup w/ ginseng: this is a Korean specialty to stuff a young bird w/ rice and garlic and boil long (warning 20 mins) and pieces of ginseng and red dates (I don't eat these it's just to flavor). The broth is so so good and it's not overpowered by the herbs. The flavored salt on the side is wonderful too. You can put as much or little salt to your preference. Steamed dumplings were good pretty standard. But what for my attention was they gave you A LOT of dumplings. I'll definitely keep ordering from Lee's.

On a Sunday morning at 11am in May, we came here for lunch. It was nice atmosphere of listening to K-pop music while looking at the menu. I ordered the oysters tofu soup and ate some banchan items before eating the soup. One of the items is a plate of 2 small fried fishes which made my sister happy. While waiting, more people came to eat here and I watched the owner handle 5 tables by himself. Then our soups arrived and noticed there is more tofu ratio. The oysters are huge in size and waited to be cooled down. It still tastes good when we mixed it with our steaming rice. We ate most of the banchans. More staff people arrived in time. Plenty of parking,
