One of my favorite restaurants. Love the authenticity and the variety of Chinese dishes. The taste, hospitality, everything is great. Would highly recommend this place if you're craving for Chinese food.

Best Chinese Food in Rajajinagar area..I visited this place by chance as all Chinese outlets on Modi Hospital Road are closed now..good service by Anthony..and I was overwhelmed to know that Kim Lee is standing tall for 29 years..Keep it up
Nice cosy place. I ordered for mixed fired rice , double fried chilli chicken ( quantity was small) , momos, wonton soup and Schwann noodles. I really liked all of them. Especially the fried rice. Unfortunately there was nothing available in lamb.

A very small place, but make no mistake, lip smacking Chinese cuisine served at reasonable price. Ambience isn't much to brag about but a decent dine in place.
Service takes 10-15 mins after placing the order. If there's crowd the waiting time might extend. Waiters are approachable, could get better in terms of professionalism.
Food needs an outstanding appreciation. It's one of the best Chinese restaurants. We ordered,
1. Veg manchow soup - the traditional manchow soup is brown in colour whereas this was very light. A good amount of veggies was cooked well into the soup.
2. Chicken clear soup - loved this soup. The consistency was perfect with scrumptious flavours and chunks of chicken.
3. Veg spring rolls - a very good appetizer for vegetarians. The roll was crisp outside.
4. Chicken steamed wontons - a type of Chinese dumpling. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. my most favourite dish of all. To be relished with the sauces they provide (chilli vinegar, tomato ketchup, red chilli sauce). The skin is so thin and the stuffing is too yummy to be true. Could finish the entire plate by myself.
5. Chicken fried rice- a very flavourful rice cooked with chicken tenders. Again, enjoy this with the sauces for out of the world experience.
Pricing is way too affordable for the quality and quantity of food served. The authenticity is remarkable. One of my favourite places. You must visit to know what you're missing out on!!

Kim lee is a name which will remind you of old school Calcutta style Chinese food. The decor or the food, everything is filled with nostalgia. Double fried chili chicken & mixed fried rice are brilliantly made. Still salivating at the thought of it. Hot garlic fish was decent & went well with the rice. Pricing is reasonable and service is quite prompt. Lovely experience it was.
It’s an authentic Chinese restaurant. It’s a small, quiet place. But love their food. A regular customer of theirs.
Must try- clear soup or dragon soup and steamed chicken wontons and double fried chilli chicken.
One of the most aunthentic Chinese food you can find in the city, they’ve been the same quality for decades now. Small and humble restaurant, in the middle of rajajinagar it’s such a pleasant surprise to find the best Chinese restaurant
good, but try to give spoon to eat next time
This place has been around since early 1990 and am a regular here.
Small place, easy to miss, not until you notice the typical Chinese red and greens.
Ambience —3/5.
They have downsized the space, only 4-5 tables.
Food—4.5/5
Is the STAR. 🌟🌟🌟For as long as I remember, the taste has been the same, consistent at all times.
Must try—- Sweet corn soup, Barbeque chicken, 5 spice chicken, fried rice and noodles.
Good portion size, pocket friendly and good old Chinese.
Mama Mia 😘😋.
chopsey should deep fry more
This is one of the oldest Chinese restaurants I have known . I have been visiting the place from when I was 4 or 5 years old , it's more like authentic Chinese and not indo chinenese food ..
one of the best place to eat Chinese food without over exaggeration like other fancy Chinese restaurants do.. The food is classy, tasty and chineeeeyyy 😉
Good food, good quality, good quantity and what more.
There is no tasty powder in the food but good food with natural taste
No other Chinese restaurant in Blore is so good as this one.
Ambience : 3/5
Sercice :4/5

My all time favorite from 25 years is Triple fried rice, spring roll, all variety of prawns
Best Chinese this side of town!!! After the recent renovation it’s even more pleasant to just go sit there for a long lazy meal. The management is super friendly too and service is prompt. But food is the real highlight here. Delish pork and delish everything else!
Fantastic Chinese food !!!
There are quite lot of Chinese restaurants in Bangalore... even though I haven’t tried all of them I will say this place serves one of the best Chinese food in Bangalore...
Best item on the menu is veg chilli chow... I loved it...
I had ordered it online and the food was delivered piping hot..
quantity was perfect for the cost...
Will surely order here again and would recommend it to others too
It is an old Chinese restaurant and decent place to dine in. I love American Choupsey 👌 It is delicious. It is the first place which comes to my mind, if someone asks about Chinese food in Rajajinagar. It is easy on your pocket.

Well the look of the hotel both from outside and inside is not so impressive .
Ideal for take away . The food turns to be awesome some day and below average sometimes , guess the chef might be very moody !!! . I expect the good taste to continue as nearby Rajajinagar you will not find such a good quality of pork dishes ..
Some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. I grew up eating at this place. As a family we would visit often but over time due to low up keep we don't visit the place anymore but we do get the good delivered home. Good tasty Chinese food. Good VFM. Must try!
If somebody ask which the best Chinese restaurant in Bangalore, I will suggest this. Its vintage look feels like Himachal and a Tibetan environment. Food is amazing compared to the cost and how small the hotel is. I have tried most of the dishes from this hotel. Pork lovers barge in, it's a place for u guys

An old Chinese place which is very well known by the locals of Rajajinagar, I had heard one too many stories of how this placed used to be the best place in and around Rajajinagar to get decent Chinese food! So after hearing all the folk tales, I finally braved up to give this place a visit. The place looked dull from the outside, Right next to it was a bar that gave the strong stench of alcohol (Also one of the reason why this family loving restaurant is often misunderstood as a bar). As I entered, I saw the green wall paint peeling making me question my choice, I pretty much did not expect a decorated ambience so I let it slide as I sat at one corner of the room waiting for the menu.
Much to my surprise I noticed too many dishes in this almost abandoned place that I had walked into, with much dilemma I checked with the waiter if these dishes were available, With an amused smile he chuckled, "Yes sir!", So I gave him a list of dishes that I wanted to be served, He said that it'll take them a few minutes to prepare a course of chicken soup, starters, noodles and rice. So I had a few minutes to spare and started to analyze the interiors of the building, It took me a few minutes to realize that there were certain antique wall hangings and some amazing paintings hung all across the place, My keen eyes kept studying each hanging, a few minutes had passed while I was lost in the antiques, The waiter brought me back with a, "Sir, Your soup", So I began to take a sip of the Dragon Soup, It was a delicacy which certainly is not available anywhere else in Bangalore! The Tom-Yum soup was equally lip smacking with pungent spices that gives an after taste. My next course with the starters, Black pepper sauce pork, Golden crispy chicken and Pork chilly filled my tummy! The main course was brilliantly cooked mixture of Egg rice and prawns fried rice, I have never seen a restaurant in my life that valued the quantity of prawns in the rice, I could get a whole shrimp with each spoon!
Don't judge the place by its cover, The torn seats and the wall paper have too many stories to tell, You just need to listen! You can have a peaceful meal without a worry and be lost in the Chinese antiques for hours!
Ambience - 4/5

Advice to the management:
Maybe some advertisements could lighten up the place here! The toilets are really dirty, You really really need to clean them up, try Domex?
Happy little place with great tasting Chinese food. Hospitable service and an old world charm about the place.
Would highly recommend for those who like Chinese and also like for it to be light on the pocket.
An old cozy Chinese restaurant located I Rajajinagar.. love the food.. especially the pork dishes.. Have been visting this place since 10-15 years with friends and family.... the taste has never changed... A must visit place for Chinese food lovers...
Kimlee was supposed to be one of the oldest chinese restaurants in rajajinagar, one must try the soups, momos, chupseys items .......like drums of heaven. Its a nice small and cozy restaurant feels good
I have been eating @ this restaurant or ordering for home delivery since 2007, the food they serve is really tasty except for few occasions. Now even price has increased a lot. If you want to try Chinese food in Rajajinagar then this the best place. Don't try Chinese foods in south Indian restaurant that will be a joke for you.
Entered Kim Lee for the first time despite being in the same area for more than 2 decades! For me, it always looked a little dingy from the outside. We went in just to try the place even though we weren't that hungry enough. We went in at around 2 pm, and only one other table was occupied. We ordered roast pork, Szechwan chicken fried rice, and prawn danmien noodle. The service was quick. The roast pork tasted good with a thick gravy, but the quantity of meat wasn't up to the mark when compared to the price being charged. The quantity of rice and noodle was more than sufficient. The noodle had generous amounts of prawn. The final bill came up to 650/- (exactly as mentioned in here) without any soft drink.
All in all, a good place, although it's too early for me to really rate it with just a couple of dishes. Lots more left to explore. This was the beginning I was looking for (at least it didn't turn out to be a damp squib).
Had been here a few months back with a cousin of mine
The place is dim lit with around 10-12 tables.
I didn't try their soups. Directly went to starters.
We ordered the Chicken lollipop which was very good. Crispy on the outside and soft juicy on the inside. Then we ordered the Drums of heaven which were lollipops with schezwan sauce on top, it was really good. The sauce went really well with the chicken
For main course we had Chicken Hakka noodles which was good as usual and Hunan chicken which was spicy and went well with the Noodles
The staff are very friendly and make you feel at home. The service is fast enough
The prices match with other Chinese restaurants, around 180/dish
Overall a nice Chinese place to go with your family.
The only negative point is there is no parking anywhere nearby
This place is pretty good, sober from an overall view and on an awful location, the staff is very friendly and suggestive.
The food is the best part, its really good and very reasonable, sure worth a try!
Location of the restaurant isn't good as its next to the bar and tough to find it but food tastes the best. One of the best Chinese restaurants near my place loving it... Don't miss to try veg Noddles....
We go to this place every now and then..The food is very tasty..If you are looking for good Chinese food then this is the place for you..The ambience is simple..They also do home delivery..Their starters are just yum..
Nice restaurant. A little old but serves very good food. The price is also very decent. A quiet and small restaurant. Soups are really nice ....
Authentic chinese?? Yes this the right place.. The food quality and quantity wise is very good.. But the major drawback is the ambience,which prevents people from visiting this place. But if you don't care about all that.. Chinese food is on your mind.. Please do visit
Forget ambience, go here for yum chinese food. Especially non veg lovers try everything possible here, pricing average, Food yum, ambience- well there's nothing much to it
Really good Chinese food. Perfect value for money.greats soups...............................................................................
If you really want to try some Chinese food this is right place ,forget about the ambiance it ok but the quality and quantity is too good . I would rate it 4 cuz of ambiance & little delay in service even though i understand they prepare after placing the order which is slight delayed still and not to forget if u need to find the non veg restaurant on " Monday" in Rajajinagar this is right place and people who like Red Meat too its good ...
VJ
If u dont care about the ambience and good food is all that matters this is the place for u...though the ambience of this place is poor the food is among the best chinese ive had..the chicken satay is a must try and chicken noodles is good..the prawn chilly is excellent too
This is the best place in rajajinagar for Chinese cuisine. Best items are BBQ chicken, spicy lemon chicken gravy and chicken manchurian dry. Best for take away. Affordable.
Been here occasionally and its very close to my place and it is a bit confusing to find this place thanks to the local bar next to it so people usually try to move away from that smelly bar next to the restaurant hence tend to miss the place. The ambience isnt that great and its cleanliness level is average and so i usually opt for a take out as its a much better option, coming to the food. Quality, taste of the food is actually better than the place and their paneer fried rice is absolutely delicious. Even though i am a meat lover this place makes the best paneer fried rice according to me and the second best is the chicken fried rice and their quantity is great, its satisfying.
Have been regular to kim lee and like the flavours he has to offer. Last noon was no different.
Ordered veg danmein and dragon chop suey for me. All time favourite, that chop suey. It didn't disappoint. Spicy sauce and crispy noodles, unbeatable.
Friends ordered chicken american chop suey and chicken cantonese.
SURPRISE! SURPRISE! BOTH OF THEM DOWN WITH EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA AND FLOODGATE RETCHING.
A CLASSIC CASE OF FOOD POISONING, SUSPECT CHICKEN WAS SERVED.
Have half a mind to head there and confront them about this betrayal. The levees of my trust lay breached.
I do not have it in me to give them one more chance, however because their food and i go back a long way, have fond memories of our can uncle treating us here on his birthdays followed by a stiff one at Srinivas bar next door, i am willing to pardon them this one time.
Kim lee, please clean up your act.
Am a regular customer at kim lee and even though the ambience is nothing to boast about the food is extraodinary...from chicken fried rice to chicken in hot garlic sauce to the chicken clear soup...this is definitely not your average chinese resturant...worth a visit if you are in the area...
Been to this restaurant regularly for almost a decade. A very nice place for chinese dishes. i would say the best available restaurant in the area.It's a small place with low lighting , gives a feel of an authentic Chinese restaurant.Food is great , i personally like the Kimlee Triple Fried Rice & Tai wah ChickenWantons are decent , soups are good .Service is good , friendly staff .A decent place for a chinese date night

We have been loyal patrons of this restaurant for over a decade now. Nothing comes quite as close to Kimlee when you crave that comfort Indian Chinese food. We order in from here at least once a month, if not more often. Remember dining here as kids but since then the restaurant interiors have gotten shabbier and more grimy so prefer to order in, and it is the better option! Menu is the staple Indian Chinese with occasional hints of indianised Thai thrown in. Must try are their crisp veg wantons, chicken satay, babycorn manchurian (dry), Hunan chicken, Schezuan or veg fried rice and noodles. Every order of ours at Kimlee ends with "minimum oil please" and somehow it still manages to be slightly greasy, so unless you really enjoy oily food, do mention the same. The pricing used to be extremely reasonable and even cheap a few years ago but it has steadily increased over time, however not expensive at all! But the quantity has noticeably reduced over the years. A meal for 2 with one starter, two mains and a gravy should cost between 500-700 depending on vegetarian or non-vegetarian. In all these years we've never had complaints regarding wrong orders or bad tasting food except for the occasional grease! Glad for these guys being around in an area otherwise deplete of even Remotely-Chinese eating options!
Food- 4/5
Ambience- better to order in. The restaurant is dark and dingy- 2/5
Service- home delivery is very prompt except in bad weather conditions, which is totally justifiable- 4.5/5
Value for Money- 4/5
Place for chinese foodies.
On a working day came across this place during my routine market visit...The place is small but the minute you enter you will get a vibe that the food shall be good...We ordered a Kim lee fried rice,Chilli prawns and sliced roast pork chilli.The fried rice and prawns were really good.The star of the meal was the pork.It was really easing to finally find a chinese restaurant in the city cooking up some good pork.The dish had the right balance of meat and fat and was cooked to perfection.

A nondescript restaurant tucked away near Bashyam Circle, this is Kim Lee for you. You could easily miss this thanks to the dark glassed door, the paanwala and the chemist next door if it were not for the red Chinese lantern hanging outside. If I were judging a place solely by the ambience I wouldn't go anywhere near this shady looking joint. Well I warned you, didn't I?! They do have a dark glassed door. But I have stepped in and lots of times too, and what's more I take my mother along as well who will go anywhere for a good Chinese meal.
The point is we had tried Beijing Bites and Chung's and frankly we were quite disappointed by their substandard fare though they do home delivery, a saving grace for those desperate Sundays when we yearned for Chinese. And lo enter Kim Lee.
Kim Lee's Chinese is a class apart from the aforementioned joints or Wang's Kitchen or any place you can think about in their category - the Rs 500 range, good portion size and lip smacking food.
For those living in Vijayanagar, Rajajinagar, Basveshwanagar and thereabouts if you haven't tasted Chinese from Kim Lee you are missing out. Pity the management has not done enough to advertise the good food they serve. Though service is good the lack of marketing shows. Well, good for mum and I since we have always managed to get seating & prompt, courteous service. Here are our favourites and before I list it let me suggest you try all the dishes that says Kim Lee...coz their chef seems to put that something special in all their signature dishes.
Mongolian Chicken
Chilli Prawn Ball
Chicken Momo
Chicken Manchow Soup
Chicken Hot Sour Soup
Chicken Dragon Soup
Kimlee Dragon Chopsuey
Chicken American Chopsuey
Kimlee Triple Fried Rice
Kungpow Chicken
Diced Chicken in Pepper Salt
Chicken Hot Garlic
Ginger Prawn
Chilli Fish
I had gone there for lunch and found the place to be empty.But i heard that the place would be full at night.The ambience was decent and the service was quite good.The food was tasty and the quantity was also large.The price might be a bit costly .But it is totally worth it.
I should be rating low as 3 for the Ambience but I won't This place has a Cozy feeling about it Now the food is just the best The taste is very good Usually have the food delivered to Home Whenever have a craving for Fried Chicken and Roast Pork this is the place to go to No Alcohol is served Beer Would have been nice I would never get bored of Chinese from Kim Lee. Service is good Sometimes have to wait a little longer since they have loads of take out Orders The Price is very reasonable
Good food, but a little on the expensive side.

Kim Lee is a savior for Chinese lovers if you are staying in Rajajinagar. There is just one proper Chinese restaurant in this area and it's this one.
As a kid, Kim Lee was the first ever Chinese restaurant that i had dined in and continues to remain my favorite till this date. What makes Kim lee stand out? Well it's just the flavor of the food which is so different compared to what you find in other Chinese dinning places. It's unique, delicious and leaves you asking for more.
I have dinned at the restaurant only once as i used to generally order the food at home almost every Sunday. The ambiance is alright, it's plain and simple. The only thing to look forward for is the food.
Kim Lee is one of those Chinese restaurants that serve the best tomato soup in town. Along with this the veg manchow soup and the sour and pepper soup are worth a try too. Spring rolls and wantons are very crispy, which i love!
In the main course i usually eat the egg fried rice along with veg ball manchurian. The veg noodles is nice too. Oh, and the potato garlic sauce is something i have tried out only once, which i liked but i prefer the manchurian one over this.
The home delivery service is quick, takes up to 20 minutes if you are staying in the same area and max 30 mins if you are residing in close by areas.
Cost for two comes around 500/- and the quantity offered is a lot, more than sufficient for two people.
So, in all if you stay around this area do try out this place, it is worth it. :)
Bangalore really falls short of budget chinese restaurants. You have your Chung wahs and Beijing bytes but well.. there is a point when you have had enough of those. Enter Kim Lee. The food has been great every time and there's loads of variety be it starters or otherwise. Try the barbeque chicken or the pan fried chilli chicken and you will know what Kim lee is all about. Fried rice and chopsuey are far better than any chungs or BB. For the price, Kim lee is a steal. Don't miss it if you are in this part of the city.
food is excellent, but little overpriced, otherwise its excellent.
An amazing restaurant......i cannot really say something about the ambience because its a very old restaurant and they have improved the interiors. But let me tell you one thing. The food what you get here is just too good. Its reasonable, tasty and a wide range of money. A meal for four would cost you Rs.1000/-. This restaurant has just one glitch . Although it is located on the main road,it is easy to miss it in the heavy traffic that piles up in front of the restaurant as there is a bus stop right there. But the residents who live around KIM LEE are always happy to tickle their taste buds. I have been a regular to this restaurant for the last 15 yrs and the food quality has not changed.
It is one of the oldest pan Asian restaurant which you would have crossed a lot of times if you are from this area but wouldn’t have spotted it like me. It is a small cozy place with the a nice theme in the restaurant.
Food is amazingly yum. We tried veg herbal soup, veg steamed wanton. It was absolutely delicious and authentic. No added flavours. You can only experience by eating it. For non veg go with the suggestions they give. It is totally worth it for appetisers. In the main course, we tried mix triple veg fried rice and chopsuey. Rice was amazing and chopsuey was not bad. Give it a try.
Legit taste of Chinese food
I've been here since my childhood and even now the taste has been really great ..... mushroom or chicken the taste is uncompromising.
Price might feel a bit heavy but worth every morsel of food .
Dine-in here gives the old chima town vibes classic red and green with the square mosaics.
10/10 would recommend!!!
One of the oldest Pan Asian Restaurants in town. A legacy of creating memories since decades.
The Roast Pork, double fried chilli chicken & mushroom with freshly cracked black pepper stir fry are a must try.
One of the few remnants of Old Bangalore !
Nice Chinese food, special the chicken dragon soup!!!!
Best Chinese food. Extremely clean and high quality!
Great experience. Good ambience, staffs are friendly and smiling. Food we ordered was as expected and price is affordable. Please keep the quality throughout the future.
This is the best place if you're craving for chinese food! I've been their customer for more than 15 years now. Some of their must try dishes are- Chicken Black Pepper (Boneless), BBQ Chicken (lolipop, gravy) and Drums of Heaven (lolipop, crispy, Dry) among Starters. For main course- Veg Danmein, Schezwan Noodle, and Mix Schezwan Fried Rice are must try. The prices are reasonable which ranges around ₹250. You may feel the dishes are high priced but it is definitely worth it. Service rendered is also very professional.
Visited twice in same week!! U get de best of tangra style here. U won't b disappointed for sure
My mother used to visit with her friends and now I visit with family. Taste vise it's the Best. More of a takeaway place nowadays and not much people come in to dine actually. For Chinese Food Lovers, it's authentic and tasty.
A small cosy fine dining Chinese restaurant located in the heart of Rajajinagar. The quality is maintained at the same level over the past several years. We have been visiting this place since many years. Serves very good vegetarian and non vegetarian options at affordable cost. The service is quick and good.
Very tasty food, visiting this place since 25 years...maintained the same tastes till date
Best Chinese food in Bangalore! The Spring Rolls are the best ❤️❤️
It's absolutely amazing!! Just order a plum chicken, lung fung soup and some noodles and fried rice. And you'll see....you'll come again and again and again like a magnet!! It's too good to be true!! And I'm not overreacting !!
Great food and good pricing. Amazing variety. Nice (asian) decor. The staff seam rude because they didn't have a smile on their face but that's it.
Nice taste for but the location is not perfect beside to the restaurant we find bar there I felt it's not acceptable
I always love the food here. I've been visiting this place for almost 6years now. I especially like Schewan fried rice, noodles, chilly chicken, drums of heaven, prawn and much more. Must try would be Chicken manchoo soup. Price is bit on the expensive side. Ambiance is okaish, not that great.
Overall it's a very tasty place to dine-in.
