It had been 24 years since I visited Bill Lee's last and I think they set aside rice, duck and noodles awaiting my return. I've had tastier hot dog water than half of the stuff we were served. Party of 4 seated quickly. Waiter was nice and ordering was quick. The potsticker appetizer was very good with the spicy soy dipping sauce. Then... dinner came. We had the #3. The pepper steak, chow mein and fried rice was bland and the fried shrimp was thickly breaded and tasted fishy. The almond duck was... interesting. I've had it elsewhere and it was deep fried crispy and served with sweet and sour sauce and you could tell it was duck. Our meal included fried squares of probably duck but I couldn't prove it if I had to. Not saying it wasn't duck. Just saying it was more a fried mash than anything. Quite unremarkable. Another dish ordered was the beef Chop Suey. It was devoid of flavor. I know it isn't a real fancy dish but it's usually seasoned somehow. The flavoring avoided this dish completely. Being with people that smile, nod and never complain, everyone ate but it wasn't with an "Mm mm GOOD!" fervor. We took 4 boxes of food home with us but nobody wanted the leftovers. I will say, the potstickers and fortune cookies were good. Maybe I'll wait another 24 years and if they're still around, I'll give it another go.

Every restaurant can have a off day. They have been here for over 50+ years, I’d say they are almost always doing it right. Give them another try Kay.
