Orange Walk's most popular Chinese eatery, Lee's serves up a superior range of Hong Kong–style dishes. Aside from the blaring TV and the plastic tablecloths, the atmosphere is festive and welcoming, with the stylish dragon-theme decor kept cool by whirring ceiling fans. The menu is extensive, including excellent seafood and vegetarian options.
