DAH Lee Restaurant in Lake Ronkonkoma

Good food ,fast and friendly service

Great place, small and enjoyable, great atmosphere and great food

This is definitely the best Chinese food restaurant in the area. The shrimp egg rolls are cooked perfectly and not greasy. Any item you order is cooked to perfection and always fresh.

Overall great food, some things are hit and miss. Prices are good. Nice little hole in the wall. Haven't eaten there yet but seems like it'd be quaint and have heard good things from people who have! Great local joint!

Absolutely, fantastic... wow!

Awesome 👍😁

I feel like im eat at home. Their foods is great. Staff/owner are friendly.. higly recommend

Absolutely horrible I won't go back there totally messed up my order in the rice tasted like it is a day old

I have been going here for soo long . My daughter loves Chinese food and is very picky about where she eats at . She goes there every Friday .i recommend this place

I have been getting Chinese from Dah Lee for over 20 years they have the freshest and fastest service

Great food very reasonable prices

Great food and good prices. Love the lunch menu

Cute cahier in the front. Think his name is Chen Huang. ;-)

A quaint and unremarkable exterior concealing a delicious local gem! I'll be honest, the first time we decided to try this place, we almost didn't go in. It looks like a converted house with the parking lot tucked into the backyard. But once you step inside, you get a quaint little restaurant feeling, like you might have found in a Chinese food place from twenty or thirty years ago. The staff are friendly and quick to get you seated and the restaurant is very clean. The food is where they excel. For a very reasonable price, the portions are impressive and the flavours are delicious! They go beyond the generic menu we associate with Chinese restaurants, offering many unusual and authentic options. The food is fresh and cooked to perfection. All in all, a great experience. I'll definitely be back!

Great food and friendly people

Had to edit this since my last post. This place has won my trust simply by the fact that there chicken, in the general tso's chicken is actual real white meat chicken. Any other Chinese place I go to has some weird thing going on with there chicken. Other than the wings , the wings are always good.

They've been there forever and food is always very good.

Old place but great food and service

My first visit here was on a date, in 1978. That relationship didn't work out, but my love for Dah Lee Restaurant endures! To pick one favorite dish is too difficult. I will say that my son wants General Tso from here and nowhere else. Egg rolls and shrimp rolls are perfect, and their shrimp with broccoli is quite unique on Long Island. Every other restaurant I've been to has had a brown sauce (which is also delicious) for their shrimp with broccoli, but Dah Lee has a different take that no one else has had, in my experience. A must-try!

Still my go to for Chinese food!

I lived in the area for 30 years and finally tried this place... What a surprise!! We ate in and the food was amazing, a far cry from all the take out places that disappointed us ovwr the years. Best boneless spareribs I ever had - lean and so tasty!! They do a mean take out biz too. The whole time we ate there, there was a steady flow of orders being picked up. This place reminded us of old fashioned Chinese restaurants when we were kids. I definitely plan to return. Btw, what I liked the most was that they don't just have the typical dishes all the other places have. They have them too, but also have things you don't normally see. Don't be fooled by the cheesy looking exterior, this place is my new favorite Asian restaurant in the area!

First time at this restaurant, most likely will not go back. Food was average but the service was awful. Only one waiter and although he was pleasant enough, he forgot several things along the way. We had to ask him twice for our drinks and then we had ordered egg rolls and didn't get them. And that was after waiting almost 20 minutes before he even came to our table to acknowledge that we were even there. And they weren't even that busy! Definitely better places out there!

Food is amazing!! Staff is so friendly I love this place!

Great food. FAST DELIVERY. Dah Lee is an amazing Chinese restaurant.

Been eating here for 20 years. Great food, friendly staff. Where else can you get a full meal with sides for $10? The portions are more than generous and always delicious!

Small but the food was fresh and tasty needs to be freshened up with some paint and some new tablets

Very first time there... Food was good. Terrible service. Only one waiter. Took forever to get food. People who came in after us were served before us. Portions of food was cold. Cant see us going back there!

There ribs are delicious and fried rice is just perfect. The prices are reasonable and the portions are good sized. I won't eat at any other Chinese restaurant .

Sesame chicken sauce was bitter, fried chicken pieces were barely recognizable as chicken inside the soggy mess of breading. Sauces are offered in those little plastic packets like at storefront Chinese places. I was expecting something more like a regular restaurant. The plain rice was the best part.

This is a great place. I loved the food and the service was great. The food was cooked perfectly with unique flavor and each bite can make an experience more memorable. The food was delicious, the portions are large, and the price was great.

The staff is very accommodating , and the food is delicious !

Always great food always hot you should dine in very relaxing

I’m utterly shocked. The container the food comes in is worth more then the food they send. I ordered two lunch items sweet-and-sour chicken, sauce on side and roast pork both with pork fried rice for both and 1 soup.The sweet-and-sour chicken has nine small pieces of chicken “9” my three year old might be full on this but not me as a grown adult will not be.The roast pork is drowned in some kind of sauce. I’m new here from New York City, it’s my first time ordering. I have never in my life seen roast pork swimming and brown sauce. 🤢 yikes! In each container there’s 3/4 specks on actual pork in the pork fried rice. It has no onion, no vegetables whatsoever. I’m just shocked this is my lunch. There is no food in the food I ordered. $14 for a lot of very unseasoned rice! 🤯The soup container is not full. I won’t ever be ordering from here again.

Food was delicious

Vegan and Vegetarian options!I had Crispy bean curd and mixed veggies in garlic sauce w. white rice & tea~🥦🥕🍚🍵My husband had sesame sauce! 💓Great place, super delicious food, and very friendly and polite staff! They will make you food that it not on the menu with request! 😀

It has a nice homey atmosphere the food is good the fellow that takes care of us Harry is very pleasant nice drinks yes we will continue going back

Honestly people are just dumb. Dont listen to them best Chinese food around.

By far the best tasting Chinese food out here. The delivery is really fast and people are nice. Once I started ordering from them, I couldn't go anywhere else. Highly recommend.

Good Chinese food a good price

Very good food always fresh

Amazing food and service.

I saw several reviews complain about portion size relative to cost, but I'm glad I ignored them. The food was very good, and more than I needed for one meal. The restaurant itself is small, built into an old house and able to seat maybe forty people. There is a neat little bar, too, if you wanted to grab some quick drinks in a low key environment. Would eat there again.

Our first time eating here and we are very disappointed. The food was not bad but the service was awful. There was only one waiter and it was dinner time!! He served two other tables that came in after us before he gave us our food, which came out at all different times. And the appetizer came out last. It took longer to get our food wrapped than it was to eat it. We will not be coming back here.

Pretty dated insideBut well worth it..food is always fresh

The only place I go for Chinese foodThere's not a lot to say about this place. It's very spacious inside. Very well maintained. Food is always great. Prices are great. The staff is great. This is just a great place overall for a Chinese restaurant. It feel more like a restaurant than a fast food joint. Great for family gatherings and take out. Returning soon.

Delicious food, our family had a great time trying a variety of Chinese plates.

Boneless ribs great chicken chow main great sweet and sour chicken great ive had almost everything on the menu its all good food service is even better

The place is not the cleanest but the food is great. The day I was there only 3 locals we at the bar eating and DRINKING but no one eating in the dining room area. The staff were nice. I would eat there again.

Good food nice people

Good food, friendly service
