Mrs. Lee is the owner of the former restaurant Wok Star and her newest restaurant, Nozu. She has a daughter named Daisy who only made an appearance on Wok Star and mentioned on André's Horrible Girl.
History[]
Mrs. Lee is obsessed with celebrities, and insists on taking a picture with every star that walks into her restaurant (Angelina Jolie, etc.). As seen in the episode, she has a wall with lots of photos on it, possibly celebrities. She offers to pay for the production of Jade's play, "Well Wishes," at the local theater, but forces Jade into running the play her way in order for her to receive the sponsoring. Her changes include creating a character, a singing angel, for her daughter Daisy to play, most likely because she wanted Daisy to get into showbiz. She also wants to turn the play into a musical. Jade eventually grows frustrated, and the group makes a plan to lure Mrs. Lee away from the theater, so she won't see Tori and Jade produce the play the way Jade originally has written it. While Mrs. Lee is gone, the two girls leave Daisy hanging from her harness above the stage, waiting for her cue that will never come.
She knows Chinese, because when she wanted a picture of her and Trina (who was disguised as Jackie Bonet), she tells the waiter to do so in Chinese. She seemed to care more about getting her picture than about Jackie Bonet's safety.
Mrs. Lee has one daughter, named Daisy, who tried to enroll at Hollywood Arts High School but did not get in, because the staff found her "talentless and irritating." Angelina Jolie tried to adopt Daisy according to Mrs. Lee.
She appeared again in André's Horrible Girl, now aware that Tori and Jade left her daughter dangling around behind the ceiling. She now owns a sushi restaurant named Nozu, because Wok Star burned down in a "mysterious fire". However, since Wok Star was a Chinese restaurant, and Nozu was Japanese restaurant, Tori asked her if she was Chinese or Japanese, which then led to Mrs. Lee thumping Tori on the head, apparently for no reason (likely seeing it as a racist statement). She also remarks to Tori that she will get revenge for leaving Daisy dangling from the ceiling. She later holds a birthday party for Hope Quincy, the mean girl André is dating. Eventually, Nozu is ruined due to an earthquake. Even though Mrs. Lee mentioned that she has no insurance, Nozu seems to be coming back through the next episodes, possibly since the damage wasn't enough to close it down.
In How Trina Got In, Mrs. Lee makes Tori and Robbie work at Nozu since after eating there since neither of them brought money to pay for the bill. When Robbie tells Mrs. Lee they forgot to bring money, she slaps him, which shows her aggressiveness. This indicates that Mrs. Lee also dislikes Robbie, although her hostility towards him turned into admiration for his hambone skills in The Hambone King.

Trivia[]
- In André's Horrible Girl, André asked what happened to Wok Star, to which Mrs. Lee tells them it burned down, but the way she said it implied she started the fire, making her an arsonist, and therefore, a criminal.
- If the police realized this, she would've been arrested and unable to open Nozu.
- Mrs. Lee appears to have a grudge against Tori in particular for leaving her daughter dangling from the ceiling.
- Mrs. Lee has been seen running a Chinese restaurant and a Japanese restaurant, which made Tori wonder if she is Chinese or Japanese. Though she is probably Chinese, as she speaks Chinese at Wok Star, and no one spoke Japanese at Nozu.
- She could be of mixed descent. Alternatively, many East Asian restaurants in Western countries are indeed mixes of different countries' cuisine.
- She has an obsession with getting her picture taken with the famous celebrities who pop into her restaurant.
- Mrs. Lee thinks her daughter has talent, contrary to common belief.
- Mrs. Lee often says, "More power!" to her daughter.
- Mrs. Lee paints a shrimp-shaped mole onto her neck every day as a subliminal messaging technique to sell more shrimp rolls.
- Her daughter seems to fear her.
