Oh Leo's. I love you. I miss you, especially your sweet and sour chicken, which I became instantly addicted to. You're a five star because of your unique ambiance and terrific buffet chow.
As others have mentioned, this is an East Side institution, a crummy little dive place with great prices and a fantastic buffet. The "buffet" is excellently cheap and the food is brought right to you by the same handful of cheerful, funny employees, so you don't even have to waste your energy chugging back up to the buffet for seconds (and thirds). There are about six dishes in rotation on the buffet and they will keep coming back around to you.
Warning: if you can't handle grease, you should skip this place. Even if you have a high grease tolerance, you may be mightily tested. With the exception of the kung pow chicken, which I don't care for, the other buffet dishes (lo mein, sweet and sour chicken, fried potato chips with onions, fried rice, and a couple I forget) are among the best I've eaten from any Chinese buffet establishment. I think it's because the food always comes out fresh to you. Within a few minutes the bowl is gone, divided up amongst the lunch crowd, so it never sits for hours on a warming tray.
If you have a soft spot for cheap Chinese buffets, don't miss Leo's. But get there early, cause the place FILLS UP with locals. The people watching is almost as great as the food. -

Man are there some uptight people on here. Is she the prettiest restaurant? No. Is the food good? Hell yes. Best Sweet and Sour Chicken we've ever had. Still crispy, the sauce not too sour not too sweet. Best fried rice, cooked with molasses (someone called it "Chicago Style") . I like the buffet as well, under $8 it's a service style where they bring dishes around and serve you. Try the pork chops. They taste like steak!
So if you're not too high and might to visit a family run little hole in the wall, Leo's is good eating! -

I This place is great they serve a buffet at lunch. The fOld is good quality and fresh. You can taste it. This food is made with love. I believe its 11 am to 1pm. Its worth waiting for not that it takes them long to cook to go orders. From Kung Psi Chicken spicy to great Chicken Chow Mein, this place is great. I love the Pork Chop. Chicken and Pork Fried Rice, Sweet and Sour Chicken and Sesame. Chicken are all family favorites. They serve homemade Chips too.

They call it a buffet but bring portions of only 4 items around to your table. They don't give you clean plates and touch the serving utensils on people's plates. Yuck!
