You have to go pick it up but it's some of the best Chinese food in Worcester. Been going for years and there's no reason to go anywhere else when I'm near Holden.

I enjoyed the Chicken Pad Thai very much. I mean, it was more bland than other pad Thai but that's what I liked about it! Wonton soup was great. Pu pu platter was tasty and fresh. No complaints!

This is the only Chinese restaurant I order from In this area. It's important that the crab rangoons are on point at any restaurant I order from. And we love them from here plus their shrimp fried rice lo mane and szechuan green beans are fabulous

I like the sweet and sour chicken from here but I need to say I asked for chicken fried rice and got shrimp fried rice, luckily a family member enjoyed it said there was a lot of shrimp. The beef teriyaki was just ok, a lot of fat. The mask situation was good except one guy had it around his chin, I was disappointed with half my order and the mask situation but I would go back if no other option for Chinese was available.

This is my family's goto takeout Chinese food.

Food is consistently good and prices are decent.

The staff is the epitome of hard working new Americans. Great folks!

Just remember to order a day or two early before New Year's Eve. The place gets packed!

Totally awesome! We just moved to Holden and I was starving. I closed my eyes and hoped for the best. Boy was I pleasantly surprised! Food was in within 30 minutes. Nice and hot hubs orange chicken came as ordered extra spicy. He said spicy like he likes but flavor (couldn't get that in NY!) Pork fried rice was pretty good. I ordered vegetable tempera OMG yummy! Moo Shu pork was done very well. Only difference was the pancakes came in a ziplock all pre-made. Thank you to the person taking the orders and the cooks. We will be calling on you many times in the future! Keep up the good work!

These guys are the best. Great food, great people, and a Holden fixture. Even in the midst of the current pandemic, they've maintained their quality. Was impressed by their contact-less pick-up and new protocols, and was happy to see a significant number of people supporting this local business.

Cheoy Lee’s has always had great business etiquette and service! Not to mention amazing food prepared in real time! Their service has not changed for the years that my family and I have gone there. The situation with the pandemic did not change things at all . Besides safety precautions, they have been excellent at providing joy through their meals and service! They were the only business open in Holden when the rest of them were shut down, for early on, they must have realized the impact of the virus, and adjusted their services accordingly to make things safe for everyone. We are so grateful

The food is good but tonight when picking up, none of the employees were wearing a mask. I should have just left but I brought the food home and cooked it all. They just lost my business.

Only writing review solely based upon the guidelines of wearing masks are not being implemented to any kitchen workers. Kids were sitting watching on their iPads in the kitchen as adults were all around with no masks.

Usually go to the one in Leicester, but they are not opening on Tuesdays. Sooo..made the 22 min journey to this location (Chain? Franchise?Family?) Everything has been great so far. Only complaint is Ribs are dried out and not much flavor, unlike the Leicester location. Crab Rangoons are free at the $40 mark, but could use more browning up.
However, the Shredded Spicy Beef is much more Superior than Leicester, which sometimes has more peppers and onions than beef..

Very good take out, Chinese. All the fried appetizers were cooked perfectly, they were light and not heavy like some Chinese food. Peking ravioli was delicious, as was the crab for a goo and the egg rolls and also the Szechuan chicken. The quantities were very good we felt and prices very reasonable I would definitely recommend this place.

Doesn't look like much when you pass by the foods pretty good wasn't a fan of General Tao way too spicy for me for chicken fingers and fried shrimp amazingly fresh and you could tell they change the oil frequently

Undercooked food all tasted a bit like fish. Or like nothing.
Quick service was only positive.

I know that it is possible to go to the same restaurant more than once and you can get 2 completely impressions of the food and service. This is my second time there and the food was excellent as it was the first time I had been there. I see some other reviews that showed people disappointed. I am wondering if they reviewed the wrong place. Anyway, I had my usual General Gao's Chicken and it was excellent. My brother had Hunan Crispy Beef for lunch and he thought that was good also.

I went here bc they had good reviews. IT WAS NASTY. The veg lo mein had not one single veggie, and it was cold and dried out. The peking dumplings were absolutely disgusting & filled with some stringy, crunchy unknown substance that I spit out. The general gous chicken was hard, chewy and stringy. I chewed it forever & in never fully dissolved, it was just a stringy, hard ball I spit out. It either wasn't real meat or just very old and poor quality. The egg rolls tasted like they were old and packaged, almost with a chemical taste. The duck sauce containers were not even half full

There's a Chinese restaurant less than 2 minutes from my house, but instead I drive almost 20 minutes to this place. That's how good it is! They have the best hot and spicy wings I've ever eaten!

Definitely our favorite Chinese take-out place in town! The food is ready fast and is nice and hot even when we get home. They are always friendly on the phone and in-person when picking up. We love the all day combo options and that they let you sub lo mein for fried rice (at an extra charge). The crab Rangoons are SO delicious! A lot of flavor and they do not skimp on the filling. Some other favorites are the General Tso's, egg rolls, and beef teriyaki! The lo mein is hit or miss, and the fried rice could use a little more flavor. If you spend a certain amount of money, they give you a free

When I go to bed and dream about Chinese food it's always Cheoy Lee's. this place is phenomenal, the food is truly life changing. I've been going there for years and never realized how good it was until I started to venture out to other Chinese restaurants. The best Chinese food around. I bring all my friends there and everyone agrees this place is a gem.

They are very good!
The girl who attended me was very attentive and amicable. The food was services to me in no time and tasted delicious. It didn't taste like some other Chinese restaurants where the food is greasy and smells like they cooked with old very used oil.
Too bad they don't deliver. I believe the price was reasonable like others.
