Lee's Noodle House Review

Lee's Special
Lee’s Noodle House is a small hole-in-the-wall in an unattractive little strip mall offering consistently excellent food at affordable prices. My friend recommended this little soup house because my girlfriend is addicted to soup. Lee’s was happy to support her cravings with fragrant bowls of pho (rice noodle) soup, filled to the rim with savory broth. Pho soup (pronounced Fuh soup) comes with fresh mint, cilantro, basil, bean sprouts, limes, and sliced chili peppers for you to garnish with. When it comes to pho soup size definitely matters, in case you are wondering theirs is huge. If you decide to give them a chance I have some recommendations. The menu can be overwhelming with around one hundred food and drink options. For starters I would recommend the deep fried egg rolls or fresh spring rolls, moving on to entrees, The beef noodle soup #13) is a standard soup loaded with thinly shaved beef, great for the pho first timer. The #70) Lee’s special noodle soup is a fabulous chicken soup containing egg noodles instead of rice noodles. My favorite item on the menu is the Banh Mi (traditional Vietnamese sandwich). The contrasting flavors and textures of the sandwich – as well as its relativity low cost – make it a popular menu item so they occasionally sell out. If you ever wondered what durian taste like? Lee’s offers a durian shake, which is a fun fruity foul smelling drink that is only worth trying once. I highly recommend the Thai iced tea, a strongly-brewed red tea with a large dose of cream, sweet goodness! Lee’s is the fuh king best noodle house in Santa Rosa, trust me I have tried them all and just find myself going back to Lee’s. Try them out and let me know what you think!
