Okay this is a very belated review. I ordered pickup on a Sunday... maybe a month or two ago? It was a rainy Sunday evening that I ordered 1 pork chop over rice and 2 lu ruo fan for my family. Apparently I was the last customer of the night and they took my order even though they were closing soon. Mama Lee gave us some extra pork chops for my family to share. It was a very kind warming gesture and I greatly appreciated it! For those who don't know, Mama Lee is primarily a "mom and pop" shop where she does majority of the cooking and sometimes manages the front. It is a small family owned business. I highly recommend good quality Taiwanese food not to mention that Asian Mom hospitality of making sure everyone is well fed! Oh, and also the food is great and the portions are generous! This is my second time visiting (first time being a few years ago). Support locally owned businesses!

Took my grandma here (she complains about EVERYTHING) and even my grandma loved this place!! Mama Lee was so generous and took such good care of my granny... wouldn't even accept tips and prevented us from over ordering. just love LOVEEE this place so much!

I had a great experience dining in at Mama Lee! Food 3.5/5, but service is outstanding (very friendly and kind people working here!). Ambiance is more like I'm coming over to a friend and have their mom-made food. Casual and no frills! The lady owner/chef came out and checked on us near the end, and she topped our rice bowl with even more rice, veggie & a piece of braised rib. Fried chicken pieces were dusted with some salt, pepper & sugar seasoning. They're as expected but not the best I've had. I wish we switched out to the purple rice because the I didn't like how the white rice was a bit mushy. Ok dish! The beef noodle soup is flavorful, and there are 4 big pieces of beef shank. So soft and tender! Also good amount of book choy in there! The noodle shape isn't my most favorite type for this specific dish, but overall, I think it's a solid bowl. A little big for 1 person, but great to share! I'd totally go back to try out other dishes or pick up some food togo if I lived near Mama Lee, but it's a bit far off our way from Brooklyn. Worth a stop if you're nearby and crave homemade Chinese/Taiwanese food.

I think my European, Australian, Japanesian, literally anywherean outside of America brothas, can get behind the no-tax no-tax policy. Much to the chagrin of other patrons, this allusive business is known for their sporadic and irregular operating days. So when we realized that they were open, it became a cause for celebration since we're infrequently in the neighborhood. As a group of 4, we powered through the menu and order the greatest hits ( minus the popcorn chicken :'( ). First up was the complimentary clear chicken soup. A broth so refreshing, you'd wish you were sick. I can't tell if this appetizer was courtesy for all dine-in patrons or they were just being extra hospitable to the mother-in-law. Round 2 was the Lion's head meatball that was so absolutely tender, a stripper with daddy issues gave more resistance. Pro tip: use the oyster sauce gravy for literally anything else. (Perhaps spice up that sex life). Speaking of spice, the chili oil was very robust in flavor without violently handling your tongue (must have). Round 3: Hong Shao Tofu (home style). I'm convinced more people would transition to plant-based food items, with the right sauce. Round 4: Deep Fried Porkchops-- LET'S GOOOOOOOOO. The dish itself comes with around 5 hand sized cutlets (sorry Conservatives, not Trump hand sized) that run on the thin side but also crispier. I was taken aback by the choice of seasoning as there was a peculiar sweetness and familiar florality. Several bites in and it dawned on me: this is a cinnastick. For the more cultured people reading this, a cinnastick is Dominoe's breadsticks dipped in a cinnamony powder. It's dense, it's delicious, don't judge me. Cinnamon and sugar were an interesting choice for porkchops but I'm with it. 5: And to end our journey is the savory oyster sauce ladened mushroom dish. It was a nice healthy finisher to cut through the savoriness of the last dishes.

Taiwanese food with a home cooked feel to it. Mama was super warm and friendly. I was openly weighing my options between ordering the salt and pepper chicken with rice, or the pork chop with rice. I ended up choosing the chicken dish, but when I opened up the container at home, saw that she had also included two pork chops on top of the rice! The food was made with love in only ten minutes time. If you walk in and there isn't anyone there, just ring the bell or say hello. Credit cards are accepted. A water bottle comes with the meal.

Today Mama Lee s Taiwan style pork chops really brought me back to Taipei instantly! They were like in tempura coding outside light n delicate. The aroma sent me to those Taiwanese night markets.... Another surprise was the Dai Kong soup. It was like a breeze in Spring, so refreshing! The service was nice and ppl spoke in family like soft, slow tone. It definitely differentiated from Chinese restaurants from mainland. The only thing I wish was they had Taiwanese Zongzi that I miss the most.
