Just would like to say, that since the new management took over at Lee's. Food has been 100 times better. Had a fantastic lunch buffet during the week, and even did some take out tonight. Great food! My definite #1 Asian buffet.  
 
For those of you that haven't tried it. Would highly recommend it!

Yes, it is very good!! We love it there also!!

I agree. New management seems better.

How much is the buffet? Took my son and daughter there about 6 - 8 who, and it cost the three of us almost $90.00!!!

I think it was about a year ago when new management took over and food quality improved tremendously. Did it vhange recently? Haven't been there in a while but looking forward to getting back. Great variety!

When did the change happen? We had gone there shortly after the change from Ye's to Lee's, and were not at all impressed with the food quality. If it has changed again we'd definitely try again!

When it changed from Ye's to Lees, the food took a dive. But I believe new management was 6 months ago? Seems like new faces in there and the manager seems involved in quality of service.  
 
And the food is definitely better, even take out is good. Glad that I have my go to Asian restaurant back!  
 
Buffet prices reflect on which day and either lunch or dinner. Obviously dinner will be more expensive than lunch.  
 
But for those that didn't know, give them a try again!

Hope the takeout menu has changed. Stopped in once to pick some up and there wasn't a combination dinner for one - it started at two and that is just too much food for a single person.

They start off with combination for 2. However, even 2 is more for 2 people. Chances of having combination for 1 person, would be a lot of food for one person.  
 
I had ordered only 1 dish, and it was more than enough food for 2 people, and like every other Asian restaurant they give you a side of rice.

I was told there is a $7 charge if you leave food on your plate?

That might stop some people from going back for a 3rd helping and then only eating a few bites of it. The amount of food wasted at buffets is appalling.  
People have to realize it's all you can eat, not all you can pile on your plate. That's why you can go back for more once you've finished the first helping if you have room.  
I doubt they would enforce it if you only left a little bit.

IF it's something little then it's understandable, I wouldn't think theres a charge.  
 
HOWEVER, there are people that take a full plate and dont even eat it. They take a few bites, and leave. Yes that should be charged extra. Buffet gives you the ability to know how much you can eat, and not waste it.

I am hesitant to go back and try it. We went a few times after it switched over to Lee's.  
 
Luckily we have never been charged an extra fee for extra food left on the plate. Sometimes you take something that looks so good and then you take a bite and yuck! lol

In my experience, they are reasonable. A little bit (as in you did not like one thing) is fine, but leave a half a plate, and they will (and should) charge you.

a charge would scare me too, I like buffets because i can try things i wouldnt normally without the fear of throwing away $20 meal and leaving hungry because of my personal tastes. I do only take one to try until i know but some times i have been adventurous and not liked most things on my plate. I get its a bit of a waste but Buffets charge accordingly, if they didnt i wouldnt but they already do so adding an extra charge would not make me want to dine there as much

The beauty of a buffet is you can take in as large or small portions as you like. Trying a bunch of new stuff, take small portions to start, and if you like something, go back for more. Why load up a plate full when your not sure? Also no limit on the number of trips. Want to try a bunch of new things? Just start with a couple of items at first, in small portions. That's what I do when I try something new.  
 
As for charging accordingly, if they did away with this charge, the price of all the meals would go up to reflect the loss waste. I for one like the charge. I would rather have my meal a buck or two less, rather than pay for those who want to waste.

Kens up on 18th - Thomas Mall has a nice "Combo for One" with choice of light (2 items) or more (3 items). I find the food as tasty and similar to the food that used to be in Rivers, before the folks there sold it. I believe they offer Take Out

Not as good as REAL Chinese, but does the job in a pinch...LOL   Have yet to go to Lee's. Bet it is delicious!   Now I'm craving Chinese... "

you can always do buffet to go at Lee's, and you get to choose more items than 3, and around $10 for lunch.
