This is our first time eating here. We were very happy with everything we tried! And the servers were very attentive and gave us great recommendations. And I was very impressed that my fortune cookie actually had a fortune on it.

Love this place, for $13.95 it’s totally worth it. I atleast try to go weekly once for lunch during work even it’s 25 mins one way. It’s that good. I always think of trying something new in the menu but this Lunch special has caught my eye. I don’t eat pork, so asked them to replace it with chicken. Worth trying this place.

I've been to many Chinese places around the states, and it's still Bill Lee's I return to for the best meals I ever had. A uniquely Bakersfield institution, it has a flavor and an atmosphere I cannot get anywhere else. I've been eating the specialty of the house all my life and to me it is the perfect meal. Chow Mein, fried rice, shrimps, BBQ short ribs, and pineapple chicken sticks. And when I'm feeling flush, the egg fu yung never fails. Never.

I stopped in for appetizers and a Mai Tai. The on-the-rocks Mai Tai was undrinkable. The flavor was medicinal and off-putting. The blended version was more tolerable, though still disappointing. The pot stickers were decent. The dipping sauce was the highlight of that dish. However, they do have a discounted lunch menu. The overall ratings suggest other guests have a very different experience here. Your visit may go better than mine did.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Seated immediately. Looks cleaned up but outdated. The spicy mustard really kicks near nasal cavity into high gear!! Highly recommend a side of that! Egg rolls are hot and crispy but they do lack a little bit of that salty flavor I love. A sweet and sour sauce is very vibrant in past pineapple in it but it is not as sweet as I would like. The food..... well..... the peppered beef was salty, hot, and tasty. Fried rice - was ok I could survive with just that here. The noodles had a very strange jelly veggie mix - dislike. I did ask for vegetarian that did not work out so i had to eat around the chicken The egg rolls I also noticed had several different types of meat. This is located in a lower part of town. Right across from courthouse. The service was friendly but ultimately I disliked the food.
