Chilli Lee is a small hole-in-the wall Szechuan restaurant.
One of a handful of chinese restaurants on Lonsdale, this one is a small family run place with one cook and one server. Lunch specials range from $7-$9 which inludes soup or spring roll. They have their usual rice dishes but tried the chicken and blackbean rice noodles for $8. Pretty decent size for lunch with lots of veggies and chicken, overall pretty good. Also came with hot and sour soup which was just OK. Not very busy so service was quick and efficient. Small place with about 20 seats with basic decor. Would come back.
North Van does not have any outstanding Chinese restaurants. However the food at Chili Lee's is very good. But stick to Szechuan. I ate one evening and had a great cumin lamb and a chicken dish with vegetables(which did not taste like Cantonese cooking). It was great...but Szechuan restaurants always charge 30 % more than Cantonese for some unknown reason. The person beside me order a Cantonese Chicken chow mein that looked bad(dark with soy, very little chicken and no veggies...this is not how to cook this dish). I've eaten twice and always ordered Szechuan dishes(easily identified by a red chili besides the menu selection. The Szechuan chicken with chili and peanuts(cold dish), and one of my favorites isn't available. Too bad, I use it to compare greatness; just like Cantonese cooking is defined by superbly steamed fresh rock cod. Try the Tan Tan noodles. Unfortunately I was with someone who can't stand heat...great Szechuan food is bloody hot. I'll have to go back and order real Szechuan.
