So far I've only had take-out and my experience had its ups and downs. On the positive side, they serve one of the best General Tso's Chickens I've ever tasted. The sauce is perfect and thankfully lacks the strange gelatin quality of too many other places. The chunks of dark meat chicken were huge (almost too big for my mouth) and the heat level was perfect for my liking. The portion was large and allowed for some great late night munching. However, on the negative side, my girlfriend found her tofu dish almost inedible and remarked that the tofu was cooked to a very unpleasant consistency. Also, the spring rolls were mushy and below average.
In the future, I'd like to try the Szechuan menu although it would be difficult to persuade the lady friend to come here again. I may have to come alone and eat only the amazing General Tso's. Seriously, it's epic. Even my girlfriend who is a vegetarian said that it looked and smelled amazing. If the other dishes would have been on par, this would be a regular spot but unfortunately, they were not. So for now, How Lee remains an average Chinese option with an above average location (Shady and Forbes in Squirell Hill) that just so happens to make an amazing General Tso's.
