Lee’s Kitchen + Cocktails

Came here for lunch, the interior looked really nice but we decided to sit outside. We started with their Thai Tea (2.5/5 stars. not the best) and Enter the dragon cocktail (4.5/5 nice presentation, strong drink, nice flavor profile) We also got the spring rolls with crispy tofu that were very fresh and tasty and a good portion. Then we ordered Drunken Noodles with Beef. Really nice flavors, very fresh, good amount of beef and perfectly cooked noodles. We enjoyed our food experience. With the service, it was okay. Very distant is the best way i can put it. Not much conversation, but we got everything we needed. Only at the end we were waiting for service for a good minute after we were done with the food needing a box. But it's okay. Overall Atmosphere 4/5, Food & Drinks 4.5/5, Service 3.5/5.

Been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm glad I finally did! Shrimp spring rolls were phenomenal! The drunken noodles were just as good and the only downer was no Pad Thai dish. I'm definitely going to come in for brunch to get the lettuce wraps. If you're in the Bee Cave/ Westlake area, definitely check this place out.

Rating: 4.1/5 [delivery] Set a delivery schedule on UberEats, but our order arrived 24 minutes past the latest time in the delivery window. They also forgot our pork egg rolls, which was disappointing -- especially considering they charge over $4 more per item on the app. That's pretty ridiculous. On the bright side, the food was packaged nicely. Grilled Pork Vermicelli Bowl ($20): The pork looked pale and dry, like it wasn't marinated long enough, but it actually tasted better than it looked. The nuoc mam was flavorful and there was enough to coat the noodles and veggies. It was good, but not outstanding -- I'd rate this #3 out of what we tried. Hainan Chicken ($20) + Extra Thai Chili Chimichurri ($2.25): I can see why this is one of their popular items. They give a generous portion of chicken, the ginger garlic rice was flavorful, and the sauces really brought everything together. The steamed chicken was juicy and surprisingly flavorful on its own. The Thai Chili Chimichurri came in a tiny container but delivered a strong punch. It also came with a light broth for sipping, which my husband loved. This was probably my favorite entree of the 3 we tried. Short Rib Pho ($26): They packed the broth separately and removed the meat from the bone, which was appreciated. The broth was addictive and the meat was tender, but the rice noodles tasted like they were from a package -- not fresh, which was a letdown.

Lee’s Kitchen & Cocktails is hands down one of the best dining experiences in West Lake. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family. Jackie, in particular, has a way of making you feel right at home—she remembers you, accommodates your preferences, and ensures every visit is just as special as the last. The menu is outstanding, with something for everyone. Their pho is rich, flavorful, and exactly what you need on a chilly evening. The appetizers are just as impressive—each one thoughtfully prepared and packed with flavor. And the cocktails? Simply perfection. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic or something unique, the bartenders here know their craft. The outdoor screened-in patio is another highlight. Heated in the cooler months, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a meal without worrying about the weather. And if you’re looking for a great deal, their happy hour is a must—amazing drinks and bites at unbeatable prices. Beyond the incredible food and drinks, what makes Lee’s truly special is the convenience and hospitality. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual meal, celebrating a special occasion, or just grabbing a quick happy hour cocktail, you’ll always leave feeling satisfied and looking forward to your next visit. Highly recommend—this place is a true gem!

With consistently flavorful dishes and a great menu this place is a must visit if you are in the area, especially for brunch! Their Vietnamese coffee is super strong 💪 and their banh xeo is so filling, healthy and refreshing that I forgot to take a picture until after my first bite. For their appetizers, the fried oyster mushrooms with from scratch house made mayonnaise dip is a must try. For rice lovers, the loco moco with pho broth gravy (!!) has rich deep flavors. The side pho broth is an excellent addition to any meal for a savory light side. If you are looking for a healthy, flavorful meal in westlake this is the place to go!

Super delicious food and outstanding service! The Enter the Dragon, the Ribeye Fried Rice, the vegetable spring rolls and the fried oyster mushrooms were so well prepared and so unique in presentation and flavor. We sat at the bar and the lady who took care of us was so nice, welcoming and offered great suggestions. Can’t wait to be back!

It was our first time trying Lee's Kitchen + Cocktails a few weeks ago with my parents. I was excited to see that there were quite a few vegetarian offerings along with things that my parents would like. When the food came, we were really impressed with how big the portions were and how incredibly fresh and delicious the food was. Here's what we tried: - spring rolls - delicious with light and fresh ingredients that go really well with the peanut sauce - Lee's salt & Pepper tofu - this tofu was quite unique. It felt light and well seasoned. The interior was soft and the outside was crispy and not too chewy. - fried oyster mushrooms - this was the star. Super crispy with a hearty delicious interior -Hainan Chicken - My Dad ordered this and liked it - Vermicelli bowl with tofu & egg roll - fresh and yummy -Morning glory - this was well seasoned and had a nice flavor. Sometimes a little tough -rice bowl with crispy tofu & vegetarian egg roll - similar to the vermicelli bowl but rice instead of noodles The dishes come with a side of fish sauce and they had a vegetarian version which we really appreciated. It was a fantastic flavor and complimented the vermicelli and rice really well. Overall the food was very good. The only thing that we noticed was that the tofu was cooked the same across all dishes. Although it was very delicious, it would be cool if the tofu appetiser was different from the entree. The margarita was very tasty! Next time I want to try their happy hour!

This is a very nice Asian fusion restaurant. The shaken beef is delicious - high quality beef tenderloin. The lemongrass noodles are great - like a Pad Thai. They also have Pho. Then interior design is very well done. There is also a large covered patio. It’s surprising to nice restaurant in a retail center. The bar and wine selection are great. We got a half priced bottle of wine - Monday night special.

Greyson & Jackie were wonderful and very welcoming. If you're looking for a place with great drinks , stellar food and an over the top customer experience, Lee's is your place. Holmes

We were greeted and sat immediately on a pleasant but cold January Wednesday evening. The interior was clean and well decorated, and we had plenty of space at/around our table. Our server walked us through the small but plenty-diverse menu, and we settled on a Vermicelli bowl and their 24-hour Pho. I really wanted to try the shaken beef, but it was quite chilly outside and the Pho just felt right. Both of the dishes really were good! The broth of the pho was complex, and the meat was well cooked... nice and tender and lightly salted. We did have to ask for more sriracha cause we like it spicy. The Vermicelli was lighter than expected (especially for the pork version), but that was actually a pleasant surprise. We finished most of both dishes to be sure! Prices were reasonable and the location was off the beaten path. It's a toss up as to whether I'd drive back out to try that beef dish! Thanks Lee's!

Great service! Quick and the guy taking our order (so sorry I didn't catch your name but we were there around lunch on Saturday) was so personable and knowledgeable about the menu. He recommended the drunken noodles. My husband obliged but I got the vermicelli with pork. It was absolutely delicious but I wish I had gone with our servers recommendation bc those noodles were out of this world! Will definitely be back soon!

Visit Date: August 30, 2024 You know how sometimes you get bored of your kitchen and want to eat out, but don't want to splurge? Lee's Kitchen is the perfect place for one of those nights. My mom said this place was good, having been here with my sister before. We shared the fried oyster mushrooms and spicy garlic basil green beans. I got the Hainan chicken, my dad got the short rib beef pho, and my mom the drunken noodles. Everything was delicious, as was the service (he explains how to eat the Hainan chicken to people who are unaware)! The restaurant is very clean and decorated well.

I was looking for a casual Asian spot to grab dinner outside of my usual choices and came across Lee's Kitchen. Tucked in the corner of a massive shopping center just off 290, this place didn't disappoint! The food was phenomenal. Both dishes my party tried were outstanding. The Brisket Pho was super filling, with a generous portion of meat and the Ribeye Fried Rice was just as flavorful and generous in portion size, making it hard to pick a favorite. If Brisket isn't your jam they also have other proteins to choose from. We didn't get cocktails, so I can't comment on those, but I imagine they must be good if the food is any indication. The service was a little spotty not bad, but not exceptional. The atmosphere is more fast-casual, but the prices are not, which would be my only complaint. If you're in the Westlake/Oak Hill area, it's worth stopping in to try or grabbing it for takeout.

The food is fresh and decent. I think you can get pretty good Vietnamese for cheaper elsewhere in the city though. Although the ambience is more upscale, and the service was great too.

Just went to try the new brunch menu here. I was looking forward to this since I'd heard about the new menu. There were six of us today so we had a reservation. We sat at the tables with the bench seating. We were seated promptly with water carafes on the table. One of our member was eating vegetarian and the brand new brunch menu didn't have vegetarian options yet, but it's coming soon. So she and one other party members ordered off the original menu with no problems. We tried the kimchi fried rice, shaved Brussels chicken salad, Korean fried chicken salad, and the spring rolls with grilled pork (my fav)! All of it was great. I suggest giving this new brunch menu a try. But come by any time for their wonderful "regular" menu.

Here's a sweet find... The owners of PhoNatic opened Lee's Kitchen, an upscale Vietnamese restaurant, about 7 months ago. It's unlikely you'd stumble upon it as it's located in a quiet, far corner of the Village at Westlake mall. There's tons of parking and a Tesla supercharger station right there. Inside, the room feels like a crisp summer dress in clean blue and white colors. Very sleek and pleasing. Shockingly, we practically had the place to ourselves for a Saturday lunch. Ha! That's not going to last long. We enjoyed the espresso and the lychee martinis. We also shared a good convo with bartender Jonathan who got us all excited about his mezcal offerings. Going to have to head back for a happy hour soon. The star attraction for me was the very comforting, both savory and umami beef pho. So delicate and balanced, I felt like I could taste each ingredient. There's an area to sit outside that had also beckoned when we arrived, but I'm glad we opted for the cozy indoors.

Drove out to visit after winning a gift card here, and it was an enjoyable experience! Located out in Westlake in a large shopping center, Lee's offers a straight forward menu with modern, healthy dishes and variety for everyone. Service was casual but attentive, food came out pretty fast, and everything was fresh and made to order. Overall, we enjoyed everything we tried and I look forward to revisiting to try their pho, hainan chicken, ribeye fried rice, and desserts! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, plenty of parking in a large shopping center lot. - Reservations? Not required nor necessary. Call ahead for a larger group, as the interior is cozy. - Happy hour? Yes, 3-5pm! $2 off snacks and cocktails/wine/beer. FOOD & DRINK RATINGS: - Happy Days Strawberry Lemonade (3/5): This was bright and fun but not worth $8 in my opinion. It watered down quickly and had more carbonation in it than flavor. - Thai tea (3/5): Basic and just okay. Not the best Thai tea I've had but it wasn't bad for $5. - Shrimp and pork spring rolls (5/5): These were great! Simple, made to order (we asked for no mint), and the peanut sauce was yummy. A little hard to dip since stuff would fall out, but tasty! - Fried oyster mushrooms (4/5): I love mushrooms, especially oyster mushrooms. These were good. The seasoning and crispness of them with the aioli was perfect. - DanDan noodles (2/5): Unfortunately I was so disappointed in this dish! Lacked flavor, very bland. There was only one single spice I could taste in it and it was weird. The noodles were good/perfectly cooked, and the portion was generous. But they were so boring and lacked that flavor bomb that DanDan noodles usually have. For $18 I definitely would not order again. - Shaken beef and egg fried rice (4/5): This was the complete opposite of the DanDan noodles. Incredibly tasty, the meat was very tender, and the sauce was good. Could have been thicker sauce, as it was a bit watery, but it didn't affect the flavor.

We just found Westlake's best-kept secret! Lee's Kitchen is utterly lovely, quiet and elegant with a huge shaded outdoor patio. It is VIETNAMESE food in Westlake! We ordered a lovely meal to eat at home, I can't wait to make it a date night place at reasonable prices. It is really special. Private, serene setting. Go, go, go! We had chicken rice and rice rolls served with a delectable sauce. Put it on your rounds of wonderful places.

This was a cozy little restaurant with good service and great food. The vermicelli bowl with pork was a huge portion and was very flavorful. The shaken beef was also a good portion and was very saucy. Would definitely come back here to try other dishes. Plenty of parking available.

This place has the best and most authentic Hainan chicken rice in town! Comparable to some of the places I've had in LA. The rice was not too greasy and the chicken was skin-on dark meat...best way to eat Hainan chicken IMO. Comes with 2 traditional sauces. Owners- if you're reading this, please also consider adding a 3rd sweet soy dip. We also tried the pho and grilled chicken rice plate and those were also delicious. Portions are beyond generous. The Vietnamese coffee was 10/10 as well. Ambiance is upscale modern and super chic. I'm SO happy this place opened in the neighborhood.

You have to visit Lee's Kitchen + Cocktails! I LOVE Vietnamese food, so as soon as I discovered this restaurant on Yelp, I knew I had to visit. I was slightly apprehensive because the branding and space looks quite "Americanized", but the food is pretty authentic. I really enjoyed their pho and my friends ordered lots of their other dishes so we had a good variety from their menu. I don't recommend the Thai tea, but I can say that everything in my photos was really yummy. The beef in particular was incredibly well seasoned and not tough to chew. My friends and I were pleasantly surprised by how good the food and service were. This is definitely a slightly more upscale Vietnamese restaurant, and the prices are reflected accordingly. I believe this is a family-owned restaurant, so please do your part and support small businesses! Service was incredible, and all of the waiters are very attentive and thoughtful.

Great service, great atmosphere, great food. Do not skip the fried oyster mushrooms! Those were amazing!!

Really cute restaurant! The pho was cured 1-2 hangovers before (LOL) -- in all seriousness, the service is great and the food is even better.

Lee's Kitchen & Cocktails is only in its Soft Opening but what we had was great so far. It's not as fusion-y as one make think. In fact, they're Asian family owned. It's Vietnamese food in a nice, trendy ambience for the Westlake community. Great brunch or date place since they have a nice full on beautiful lookin bar. Their Grand Opening will be Aug 27th where they said they would release their full menu. Highly recommend since they seem to got it straight , even service! We'll definitely return to try their bo luc lac (shaken beef) and bo tai chan (basically Vietnamese beef carpaccio) Jumbo Salt and Pepper Prawns ($20) The shell on jumbo shrimps were perfectly crispy and the perfectly flavored. We ate every scrap of the plate because it was that flavorful and umami even down to the onions, peppers and bits of shrimp shells. Morning Glory Water Spinach ($14) This is one of my favorite Vietnamese staples. Since we make the garlic version of it often, we opted for the Thai Style which tosses it in garlic, chili and fish sauce. It was perfect cooked, not too chewy and not too mushy. Hainan Chicken ($16) This was huge plate of steam chicken, already deboned and ready to go. It was very tender and came with a ginger oil to glaze over the chicken fresh before you eat and Chin-su sauce. The rice was indeed cooked its chicken broth and chicken fat. In Vietnamese Hainan Chicken fashion, they serve it with cucumber and pickles on the side. The only thing missing was fried shallots of onions to make it just like how I do at home. Sichuan Chili Wontons. We took the adventure on this appetizer and to our surprise, it had a good punch of mala. The wontons were plump and nicely fattened. You can taste the Vietnamese influence through the broth under the chili oil.

* Solid 4.5 * They need to open more locations! A little out of the way for us but delicious meal. Definitely make note of the specials. Will have to return for HH at some point.

In town and we found this place and stopped in for lunch. We had the short rib pho and the eye round brisket and meatballs combo pho along with the vietnamese chicken wings and it was delightful. The broth was exactly what I need to hit the spot. Coming back to visit the next time I'm in town.

This is my new home bar. The mixmastering and bottle selection are that good. My last home bar was Russia House. I haven't had a home bar since Russia House closed. The fact that this is my new designated home bar tells you something about Lee's Kitchen. * * * This is an upscale restaurant from the PhoNatic people. If you told me that PhoNatic owners could open up and run a five star upscale Vietnamese restaurant and bar, I would have made fun of you. I would have been wrong. The PhoNatic folks totally totally nailed this one. Their establishment is outstanding from beginning to end. * * * The Bottles: There are virtually no downscale bottles or midscale bottles behind the bar. A few midscale bottles are kept below eye view for mixed drinks. Their collection though is not a standard mindless collection of the top X percent of some commercial vendor's wares. This is a carefully curated list of fine gins, fine whiskeys, fine Japanese distilled beverages, fine sochus, fine mezcals, etc. etc. Very astute judgement went into the selection of bottles. * * * The Mixmastering: Absolutely positively superb. I had a Vietnamese Coffee Martini. This is NOT the same as an Espresso Martini. And the bartender added all sorts of surprise ingredients to get the best effect he could out of a Vietnamese coffee base. (I won't tell you what they are. Ask Jonathan yourself when you get there. Jonathan - the main mixmaster - is God.) The results were dramatically good. The other drinkers at the table oohed and aahed over their creations. * * * The Food: This is a Vietamese fusion kitchen. Pho is 1/4 of the menu. Vermicelli dishes and Vietnamese standards are 1/4 of the menu. Various Asian fusion dishes make up the rest. I went with a Dan Dan noodle. (Singapore via China.) My Dan Dan noodle tasted like no other version of the dish I have had either in the U.S. or in Singapore. I like the American standard version - but this version was fine in its own way. The pho eater went nuts over her pho. The tofu and vermicelli eater adored her tofu and vermicelli. The special trick on the tofu was adding a house special spice mix that does not taste like what you get in other Vietnamese restaurants. Everyone was very happy with what they got. ***************** The Vietnamese food at Lee's is totally pleasant - but is not destination food. In contrast, the Chinese food at Ling Wu really IS destination food. You would drive from East Austin to far Southwest Parkway for Ling Wu. You might not go to far West Lake Hills for Lee's just on food alone. * * * BUT THE BAR TOTALLY TOTALLY CHANGES THAT CALCULUS. The bar offerings put Lee's way way way ahead of the pack. Think of the food offerings at Lee's as really superior bar food While you drink your way to happiness with some of the best beverages in town. * * * Bring a designated driver. It is a long drive down Bee Cave Road back to Austin.

Great place. We come here for lunch during work. Try the Mushrooms they taste great.

We went back to Lee's to sample the HH and they once again exceed our expectations! The HH is generous, with $2 off wine, cocktails and apps. We tried a few different cocktails, but ended up loving the original two from our first visit, the S3 and the uzu cocktail. The dark horse app is the fried oyster mushrooms! Super simplistic, but executed very, very well. I wanted to get another order of them! I was determined to try their pho this time around. At $16/bowl it's a little spendy, but in line with most other upscale Vietnamese restaurants. The usual spices are here: star anise + cinnamon, but there's also a depth of flavor that's uncommon. I was very pleasantly surprised. In the current market, I honestly don't know whether a $100 date night is expensive or cheap, but I felt like it was great value considering the quality of the drinks and dishes at Lee's.

One of our new faves in the Westlake area! If you're in the mood for elevated Vietnamese/Chinese comfort food, you must try out Lee's Kitchen & Cocktails. This cute lil restaurant is tucked away in one of the corners of Village at Westlake, so parking is a breeze. We've been dining in somewhat regularly since Lee's grand opening. Service was a bit clunky early on (beef undercooked, incorrect orders), but they've improved greatly ever since. Our favorite orders are the Hainan Chicken, Dan Dan Noodles, Fried Mushrooms, and the Lychee Martini - I love the mushrooms and martini so much, I've attempted making some at home. The Sesame Old Fashioned was too savory and "out there" for us. Overall, prices are a lil steep but reasonable with the quick service, delicious food, and sizeable portions. Can't wait to devour those mushrooms again - with a martini in hand, of course!

Once again a great dinner at Lee's. Cole, our server, brought us an appetizer he loves, and we can see why. We usually share everything so we had... Oyster Mushrooms (the best ever) and shaken beef a perfect dinner for two. plenty of food at it's best.

Wife and I had a wonderful meal at Lee's, which inhabits a "kiss of death" location in the mall where HEB holds sway. It's Vietnamese, and the highlight of the meal was the shaken beef and the great cocktails. It's a pretty place... great servers... and inviting. I recommend everyone in the West Lake area to try it, and make Lee's the location that brings life to that location!

Decided to try a new restaurant and we found ourselves at Lee's Kitchen. We started with the fried mushrooms and espresso martini. When we go back I'd get them again because they were great. I had the crispy garlic prawns and my husband had shaken beef and it was so tasty. We were impressed with the service, but most of all the food!

Lee's is a welcome addition to Asian food in Westlake. I like Izumi, Madam Mam's, and Lotus, and now Lee's is bringing a tasty game to town. My wife is a huge spring roll fan. Theirs are perfect. We saw someone at another table having the ribeye fried rice and had to order it. I think our eyes rolled back into our heads it was so good. The chimichurri they serve with it put it over the top. The steak was cooked just right. We had a few of their cocktails and each was tasty and pleasant. Where's that fifth star then? We also had the dan dan noodles. I don't know if it was overshadowed by the fried rice, but it was only okay. The menu is a pretty shallow bench. We ordered take out one night and the ribeye fried rice wasn't as awesome at home as it was in the restaurant. Their pho was on point. The broth was tasty and not oily. The order was well packed and right.

Food was fantastic. Cocktails creative and delicious. Fried tofu was perfection. Small, bite sized and packed with flavor. Spicy wontons won as group favorite. My heart goes out to the spicy garlic basil green beans . Atmosphere was cozy and staff friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!!!! Keep up the great work everyone is doing. We will certainly keep coming back.

Pretty solid new addition to west Austin Asian scene. Think Elizabeth street cafe esque. Great ambiance, outdoor patio, and friendly staff. We got spring rolls (huge!), the hainan chicken (super good and would recommend) and their pho (we thought this was just okay. The noodles were slightly over cooked). Overall we're happy to have it and will try some of their other dishes next time

We were greeted promptly and with a smile by two employees. Our waiter was friendly and attentive as well. We started with 5 small pork egg rolls ($8) which were crispy and flavorful and served with a thin sweet sauce. One of us ordered the jumbo garlic prawns which came battered and fried (similar to tempura) with peppers and onions and a side of rice. I had the DanDan noodles which came with pork that was lukewarm, peanuts, cucumber, bok Choy and a poached egg over thin noodles. It was okay but I wouldn't order it again. This restaurant is small and we had to carefully weave our way through to make to our table. They plan to add some outdoor seating in the future so that may free up room in the dining room. The menu is rather limited. I really wanted to like this more than I did and will have to visit again for other menu selections as others have rated this place so highly.

Horrible Customer Service. Tried to sit at the Bar, but was told I couldn't. There were literally 5 people in the whole restaurant. I'd try to be more accommodating to paying Customers. You lost a regular Customer today.

We did a to-go order. First, they charge a 3% service fee for to-go orders. That right there will keep me from coming back again. The food was ok but could have been better for the price. $20 for chicken fried rice? We also go the pork egg rolls and DanDan noodles. Gave it a try. I wanted to like it, but nothing special. I'm really not a fan of additional fees, so unfortunately, this is a one-and-done for me. Too bad as I am in this shopping center daily. They are in the hidden corner that has already had at least three other places. One plus is it is super easy to park.

Lee's Kitchen + Cocktails entrance into the area was very much needed with very few authentic options to choose from. What's a bit different here is that the food is a bit more on the elevated side, so while traditional in scope - some of the ingredients are higher in quality such as the fried rice using Angus Ribeye and unique drinks using Vietnamese coffee, but fusing it in the style of an espresso martini. The ambiance leaves more to be desired, but other than that I had a pretty great experience and would come back again!

I've eaten here multiple times, top-notch food and service. There is almost always ample seating and space, perfect for a group hang or date night. Not the biggest fan of the vermicelli bowls or the Dan Dan noodles, but the crispy prawns, Hainan chicken, chicken wings, and wontons are incredible. Highly recommend coming here!

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Austin hidden in the corner of the shopping center. Thanks to a sign that they recently posted - finally know this place is open and we enjoyed very much here. Unlike most pho place which operate like fast food places, this one gets a nice sit-down vibe that you feel like to chill longer and enjoy the food; but also it's pretty down to earth and compare to some "fancy" ones as this is more like a family restaurant that want to serve good food not for the photos. Service is great that our server even coursed our food to ensure we don't get rushed to finish our pho (which comes last, of course). Pace is nice and all dishes are very nice, especially the fried chicken which is very well flavored, the pho broth tastes nice and hainan chicken is very authentic!

We had a shaken beef and pho. The shaken beef was good to have with fried rice, but not impressive. Pho was too bland and couldn't feel tasty. The service and ambiance were good but I believe they need to improve their recipe. Their drinks were good enough tho.

Such a great addition to Westlake! Located in the former spot of La Madeleine, Lee's Kitchen is my new favorite. Some of the hits have been the crispy salt and pepper tofu, all the veggie and rice bowls are abundant and fresh with your choice of protein and the WINGS!! Holy smokes, the wings are to die for good. Crunchy, sweet and salty with great dipping sauce. I could eat a dozen easily. The pork spring rolls are also a hit. My client had the pho and said it was outstanding. The space is very well appointed and there's lots of cozy seating so one can enjoy a leisurely meal with a friend or spend some time at the bar and enjoy watching the bartender create a lovely concoction. I had a lemon grass drink that was very refreshing and packed a neat little punch. Highly recommend Lee's Kitchen & Cocktails above most restaurants in the area. Service is prompt and friendly and I believe it's owned by a local family as well.

Always good and nice to have something like this in Westlake. Great for dine in or pick up.

Shrimp was over cooked and rubbery and the lettuce didn't taste fresh. The dish was 18.00 so not inexpensive. We've eaten here several times and its hit or miss.

The food was delicious at lees, a small, clean, upscale casual spot in west lake. We tried the dumplings and thought the dough was incredibly light and yummy. The hainen chicken was moist but not what I expected, still tasty. My husband loved his vegetable Pho bowl. Overall a great spot if you're in the area.

Delicious cocktails and really flavorful food...quite the surprising gem located in this busy shopping center. Staff was attentive. Nice patio for the mild days. The food was the star.

My sister and I came for dinner and got shrimp spring rolls, pork egg rolls, and shaken beef - all delicious! Service was great, they boxed leftovers for us and our server recommended the specialty cocktail, a dragonfruit margarita and it was delicious - I drank 2! We will be back! (Wish I took more photos)

I love this spot! My new go-to. Everything I'm tasting is delicious and very "authentic." I eat here weekly :)

One of my favorite restaurants in Austin! I absolutely love the quality and freshness of every dish. Some of my favorites include the shaken beef, Dan Dan noodles, and their Pho! Don't skip this place :)

So yummy ! We came for the pho but would come again and try other dishes. Definitely recommend! They even have a happy hour and are open 7 days a week. You should check them out! (The location is near Cava, mod and taco deli).

I stumbled upon Lee's Kitchen because they are right beside a Tesla Supercharger. So about once a week, I plug in and cozy up at Lee's for a delicious dinner or lunch. I'm always warmly greeted and seated. The tables are adorned with fresh cut flowers always and place settings already there. Water is always promptly delivered. I don't love the pitchers they use for water. They're heavy, don't have a handle, and are a bit too thick for me to confidently pour with one hand. So far no disasters but I'm nervous every time- Ha! I don't have much experience with their cocktails but they look great and they always seem to have a seasonal cocktail menu, too. Their Thai tea is great, as to be expected. As for the appetizers, OMG! The fried oyster mushrooms are something to write home about! The batter is light and they are dusted with a delicious spice mix. The dipping sauce is like a mayo that is also dusted with the spice mix. I LOVE THESE THINGS! Their dumplings, spring rolls, and pork eggrolls are also delicious and worth ordering. For entrees, I have tried most things on the menu. Their chicken fried rice and rib eye fried rice are really amazing. They come with this mouth watering spicy vinegar and herb sauce that I always request two of now. The rib eye is always melt in your mouth and my guess is that the chicken is thigh because it's so flavorful and never dry. I really enjoy their pho also but their noodles tend to be a little over done. Same with the dan dan noodles. Just a bit too mushy for my liking. All in all, I feel lucky that I can charge my car and have a delicious meal at Lee's at the same time. Also, it's very fairly priced!

Authentic Asian food with super friendly service out in the middle of Chaps country! Great place to hang for cocktails too.

Delicious! The best pho I've had in Austin! Cute ambiance, good drinks, if you're looking for an appetizer I recommend the fried oyster mushrooms.
