We go here once or twice a month because their sushi is delicious. An order of crab rangoon is usually necessary for when we visit as well. I only wish their dining area were more spacious, because depending on where you’re seating, you’re on other tables’ laps. Definitely recommended.

I have to say that my walk from the car into Lee was a little wetter than I would have liked, as it was raining lightly when I arrived. Fortunately, I felt dry and happy the second I stepped into this wonderful little diamond in the rough! My group was immediately greeted by a welcoming host and led to a secluded tabled with a convenient view of most of the restaurant. I quickly dove headfirst into everything Lee had to offer: Quickly sucking my zombie drink down while chomping crab rangoon. The General Tsao had me feeling full and content like a true Emporer! My fingers got a little sticky from the Tsao sauce, but hey, nothing is perfect in life! Will definitely be back for more!

This place is better than their location in Peterborough i will start by saying that. It is awkward here, it is so many layers of awkward that you need to teeter on the point of alcohol poisoning to be able to get comfortable. This is set up like a house, like an old colonial house, something out of Django Unchained. There is a myriad of portly white and Chinese ‘young adults’ that work here that will stare at you for a godly amount of time. You will feel weird talking, sitting, drinking, eating, leaving… so that covers most of the bases for that. The food is decent above average but again, like Peterborough they are trying to bite off more than they can chew and leave you with some dishes that are more another culture than the one you ordered. Thai, Japanese, Chinese, sure why not Italian to, reinforcing the old stereotype that all«asian» food is basically the same. ehh not so much. they would be better suited to drop the Thai angel Probably best for their crab Rangoon although i feel like they are a painful level of filling, and sushi. The food used to be good, i used to be able to say that with a straight face.

What a gem! Decided to avoid downtown Keene on a local trip and headed to Marlborough for this restaurant which purportedly had good sushi. It turns out, it was WELL worth it. I ordered miso soup, a tuna roll, California Roll, and the City roll. The sushi came out very rapidly and was fresh and quite tasty. Upon being seated, you are greeted with a bowl of fried wonton strips and plum sauce. Service was polite, pleasant, and efficient. I would go back again.

Best crab rangoons, highly addictive. Sushi is always good too. Orange beef and general gao’s are good options. Lunch specials are insane value. Not my favorite chicken fingers.

Use to be good but has gone downhill in recent years. Had a staple in my lomein one time too. Food very bland. Just an ok place to eat.

I went to this place because of all the great reviews but I am not sure if they were concocted. We were the only table there for lunch… a bit strange. Usually if a restaurant is empty during a prime eating time(12−2pm)(5−8pm) that makes me nervous. Other factors that made me wary: 1. unclean — the carpet, windows, general dustiness, wait staff came to take our order with batter-dried hands… 2. I came in wanting sushi but I immediately switched to get something COOKED because I got so nervous but didnt want to be rude and leave 3. The fortune cookies at the end of the meal were«unfortunate» — they were OLD and barely could break apart into two. 4. I will say the shrimp tempura was warm — a good sign, as they were likely just cooked. There are other places to eat — still not seeing what all the rave reviews are about but maybe my standards for basic restaurant cleanliness and freshness are different. Thank you for reading, Nina

If you want Chinese food in Keene, this is the only place to go(the others are REALLY bad!). Chinese menu is solid, but it is the Japanese side that shines. They really care about freshness — one night we asked about Uni and after some conversation among the staff the proprietress came over and told us that it was not fresh enough to serve us(we came late on a Sunday), and she expected more the next day if we cared to return. Prices for quantity and quality are very good.

Great curry dish and friendly service. Atmosphere is a little cozy, since the restaurant is a converted house. Other than that this place is excellent!

Worth the trip here purely for the crab rangoons– the best I’ve ever had! Huge, crunchy and full of delicious crab and cream cheese. Sushi is decent and the other Chinese entrees are pretty standard, but you can’t skip the rangoon!

A local gem! The sushi chef is extremely inventive. The fish is better than you’d expect and the cooked appetizer specials are wonderful. I am comparing this restaurant to neighborhoods in San Francisco and it would still come out on top for one reason… it isn’t really A Chinese/Japanese only spot. The highlights are the off menu Malaysian dishes: Lahksa, Char Kwe Chou, Hainanese Chicken rice. Lahksa is the best I’ve had in the states, CKC as good as any, and the chicken rice was unlike anything I’ve ever had, but totally delish. And the sambal is HOMEMADE. Also when you let Annie know how you like something, that’s how she makes it. I have often been given complementary amuse bouches from the sushi bar that have been absolutely great and surprising in texture and flavor. Definitely country style cooking on the Malaysian/Chinese side. Full bar makes the place a local watering hole where the vibe is extremely welcoming.

Love the owner, Annie! Very good food and the prices are reasonable. One of the best chinese/japanese restaurants in the area.

New to the area. Late night eater. Could not find a place open on Thursday night at 9:30pm. Drove past this place and thought to stop in and see if they were still serving. And they were, and we were so happy. Place was fairly empty so the service was quick. Loved the Chicken Katsu, my favorite and great to find a place that serves it and serves it well. Husband had pineapple and shrimp fried rice. He got a huge bowl, which made him very happy. We both had tasty left-overs for the next day. So happy that this place was open late for those of us who do not go to bed when the sun goes down. Great meals, nice friendly staff and quick service.

Higher end food. Not your average low quality take out joint fare. Very nice presentation when you eat in. Excellent sushi. Not a fan of their ribs, but love almost everything else. You can tell they use upscale ingredients and cook to order. You pay more but the ingredients, prep and presentation are worth it. If you’re looking to eat out for Asian this is the place.

I have always loved this place. Annie and crew are awesome! Great service and food located in pretty much nowhere. Better than any other asain offerings in the area(keene/Peterborough) and they do have a more upscale version in Peterborough as well. Sure you can’t beat it in Putney either! Or Brat for that matter. Sure the décor may need an update but this is easily overcome by the portions of food(I agree take-out seems larger) and frinedly service. Try some of the chef’s rolls, start with some spicy thai peanut dumplings.

It’s the best sushi and Chinese in the area! Too bad the area is southeastern New Hampshire. Honestly, the food here is okay. It’s certainly not bad or cheap take out quality. The fish in the sushi was decently fresh. But as Japanese/Chinese food goes it’s pretty crappy — and I’m using the rural New England standard, not the fishing port in Southern China standard. The place is not falling apart but it’s certainly run down. Generally, it’s pretty meh.

Best sushi in the area. Get appetizers, it’s busy whenever I go, so the entrees are slow, but worth it. All the rolls are delicious, just tried the special: My Best Friends and will get it again.

Best Asian food in the area? Yes, I agree with Sandy B. I have been eating here since they opened(probably over 10 years ago). They have an excellent menu and very large portions(personally I think you get more with take-out than you do when you eat in). They have another location in Peterborough that is alswo very good(slightly different menu). The sushi is excellent. On par with what you may expect at some big city place. If you eat in, get the scorpion bown(a must). For take out, I suggest the D1-pork(lo mein) or the D17(combo). Very good.

Everytime I come to this restaurant, I always leave happy(and full)! I personally think they have the best Asian food in Cheshire County and I have co-workers who agree. Not only is their food is amazing each visit, each entrée gives you enough to make at least 2 meals out of. The waitresses are very friendly too. I would definitely recommend stopping by here to eat.
