LEI KITCHEN

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lei Kitchen has easily become my favorite restaurant!!! I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming, making the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. On top of that, the service was lightning fast — our food came out so quickly, and everything was fresh and hot. As someone who follows a vegetarian diet, I was thrilled with how accommodating they were. The staff went out of their way to make sure I had plenty of delicious options to choose from, and even offered to customize dishes to fit my preferences. That extra level of care was such a bonus and really made the experience stand out. Now let’s talk about the food!!! the best quality I’ve ever had. Every bite was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with love. The portions were huge, which made the prices more than worth it. I left full, satisfied, and already looking forward to my next visit. If you haven’t been to Lei Kitchen yet, do yourself a favor and go! Great service, amazing food, and a welcoming atmosphere — it’s a 10/10 every time. We had the salt and pepper fries appetizer which was MASSIVE and YUMMY as well as the Short ribs and tofu spring rolls which were all equally amazing. We took home their fried banana rolls and we are obsessed and will be ordering again soon!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food was so fresh and amazing. No complaints about a single thing and I'm picky 😂. The server was friendly and got everything right. I highly recommend this place. I gave the atmosphere 4 instead of 5 stars because it was a little bit of a tight space. I'm definitely making this restaurant a go-to when I venture out to Corpus Christi.

Food great as always. We've been here several times and 1st review. Portions are on par with quality taste in the Vietnamese cuisine. Service was slow, but was also expected, they are currently looking to hire more servers.

Overall, amazing every time I have been. In terms of service, it's relatively quick, depending on the amount of ppl, of course. Servers are always so nice and helpful, I love their sesame chicken and pho. It's pretty cute inside as well, and they have the vibes set nicely with the music not too loud but not creepily quiet either. 10/10 p.s. portion sizes are nothing to laugh at 🤌🏼

As usual...BOMB BIZZLE .... I know it's not "traditional " Vietnamese food but this chefs fusion is the best around..everything is amazing and the portions are worth it.. never have been disappointed in 10 years.. chicken bah mi OMG... lettuce wraps on another level 😋

What a GREAT find! My wife suggested it due the expansive menu. We started with the Bulgogi Lettuce Wraps. OMG, so delish! Honestly, the serving was so generous it could have been its own meal. Or entrees were Drunken Noodles with Beef and Yellow Curry Udon with grilled chicken. I can’t overstate the fact that the flavors were rich and complex. Reilly was our server and we could not have asked for better service, attention to detail, and a caring attitude. She visited our table several times to ensure all was well. What a GREAT overall experience. Oh, I forgot to mention that our portions allowed us to take home dinner and lunch for Monday🤭 We will be returning, ordering something different, and requesting Reilly! Thank you, Lei Kitchen!

For my first time to visit this establishment I was utterly disappointed! The unfortunate part of this experience was I was not even able to try the food. The service was undeniably the worst reason of my visit the waitress even though trying to have a smile is rude, not engaged, and smelled of alcohol. For starters I was perplexed as when I ordered a bottle of sake as to when I was asked by the waitress whether I wanted it hot or cold, when she did bring it out warm is what I asked go to my surprise it was boiling hot I literally mean boiling, I also asked for a bottle of water and was second question upon whether I wanted unfiltered city tap or bottled. The type of sake that I ordered was a "little Lily" what you must Gently shake to mix the creamy layers before serving, but when I tip the bottle unbeknownst to me the bottle had already been opened the seal was even broken! Well needless to say and highly unfortunate the sake because of the boiling heat blew off the lid which saturated the table and my guest with boiling hot alcohol. When I got the waitresses attention she said sorry I will get you another bottle and walk to the back no longer than 10 seconds then came back to the table putting the same exact bottle back in the same spot where she had just pulled it from! There is literally maybe 40% of liquid within the bottle. And to treat me as if I was ignorant when I said something to her upon her coming to the table about that being the same bottle she's told me no it was not it was a brand new bottle. A little Lily sake is Laird and the bottle comes filled almost halfway up the neck itself not less than half the bottle connoisseur of sake in different wines I felt as if she was treating me like I was ignorant.so here we are my feelings are hurt my phone is ruined my guest has a burnt leg from the hot alcohol. Perhaps the waitress felt but I did not belong in her establishment because I look like I didn't have enough money to afford him while I'm holding $7,000 in my pocket cash not counting my bank account. I came to establishment with family to show them a good time but now what I am experiencing is this day has now been ruined. So I shall regretfully decline partaking in any food from this establishment seeing as this is the service that I got I would be worried to see what would come out of the kitchen. It was such a bad experience that a full packed restaurant even a party of at least 20 decided to stand up and leave right behind me as they were also shocked and appalled to what had just transpired in front of them. So needless to say I will not be recommending this restaurant to friends family or anybody I will even see on the street. I really hope this place gets their act together and nobody else has to go through the grueling experience that I had to also today along with my family. So I say good day sir and I mean good day. Sincerely, a unfortunate lost customer who otherwise could have been a reputable client!

Can you please open up a restaurant in the McAllen area. There is a community opening called Los Tres Lagos, which is a great new subdivision. I know that the quality of your food and the area, it would be a great success. How can anyone say anything bad about this place. A definite honey hole in Corpus. Wished we had one in McAllen, TX. We haven't finished our meal, but we are already planning on driving back up, just to eat here. The food came out fast for being packed, the service was awesome, and the atmosphere was nice. If you are looking for a GOOD place to eat, look no further. The price may scare you, but the authentic and big portions make it worth every penny. You know the place is good if it's packed, and from reading the reviews, it seems to always be bumping.

This is the 2nd time I've come here & this place is right on! The food is consistent & delicious every time. The service is helpful & fast. I love this place because it's super authentic. Although it's small, it is always busy, which I'm so glad for because that means they'll be here forever. I also like the fact that they have tvs all around of different cooking shows of Asian foods, I love watching that while I wait for my food. It just makes me hungrier.

Food here was okay. Appetizers were the best part, we got spicy garlic edamame and fresh spring rolls. For the main entree got the Thai chicken basil. Chicken was rubbery and portions were big. Flavor was okay, but felt missing some key spices to help enhance the flavor. I would recommend condensing menu down, can be overwhelming. Service was okay, felt rushed to order leading to not being able to enjoy the meal.

Quality of the food was excellent. The portions are large. The service is friendly and fast. If you want a "nicer" dining experience this is not the place. But if you want delicious, hot, and savory food in a comfortable, inviting, and cozy, setting then this is it.

This was my first time here and the flavor was really good but the Chinese sausage was really over cooked almost burnt! And there was also suppose to be chicken and shrimp but there was only two shrimps in the entire dish. But I really enjoyed the flavor of this fried rice.. this one was called the Yangzhou Fried rice. I would definitely eat there again though because the flavor of the rice was really good.

Good authentic cuisine-may have to wait a bit because they get busy -but worth it! I like Vietnamese food so this hits the spot.

Love their food and their portions sizes??? My goodness two can eat off one plate and still have leftovers. Their honey chili chicken is a favorite of mine, comes out hot and unbelievably crispy each time. The place is quite small and does get busy, so it can be a little warm in there at times. Also, sometimes the music is a bit loud. Otherwise, Lei Kitchen is definitely worth the stop for delicious food.

One of my very favorite places in all of South Texas. The Pho is absolutely perfect. My husband had the combination fried rice that could have easily served 4 people. The service was very polite and helpful and just the right amount of attention. The ambience is homey & comfortable. We will definitely be back.

Best Asian food in corpus! Always yummy! My favorite place for curry and their drunken noodles dish is amazing!

Tried this place for the first time at 1:30 on June 16, 2025. We avoided the lunch hour, but still this small restaurant was packed. Every table was taken and now I know why. I love Asian food of all types so am always anxious to try new places. I'm usually disappointed, but not this time. Food and service were exceptional. I would have to say the red seafood curry was one the best I have ever had - certainly the best in Corpus Christi. The black pepper beef spring rolls were huge, like burrito size, and very well seasoned. They are not afraid of using spice here - my kind of place. One of my new favorite restaurants in Corpus Christi. Thanks for the pleasant surprise.

Delicious south East Asian food with an extensive menu to choose from! The place was packed when we got there but the food was worth it. We had the mapo tofu udon noodles with ground pork and the char siu pork buns, both dishes were great, big portions, full of flavor!

I won't waste my time trying to explain you how good all their entrees are because I love them all. Pho is fire and the pork bahn mi is delicious!

Love their egg rolls!!! Sweet owners, clean food truck! Highly recommend for anyone who has not tried.

I heard about this place for a while. I stopped at the car wash on Saratoga and decided have lunch by myself while the car was getting washed. It's a little small hole-in-the- wall type restaurant but very neat and clean. My waitress was an Asian girl named Alice, she was nice and sweet. She bought me a coke before I knew that they had beer. I told her I wanted beer and she let me keep the diet Pepsi anyway. Got the Sapporo for the first time, it was delicious. I ordered the wok combo, beef, chicken, shrimp and white rice. You also get a small bowl of egg drop soup, all for $18 on the lunch menu. The stir-fry was really flavorful and cooked well. The stir-fry portion size was adequate even big however, in my opinion the rice was too small. I had finished the rice with only half of the stir-fry. Next time I'm getting extra rice. Bought the leftovers home and gave it to the wife. Over all it's a good place for Asian food but the portions are bigger and cheaper at Nina Raman. I'd say the flavors are a bit better over here tho.‍

The service was great, our waitress was kind and helpful. The food was great, my boys are picky when it comes to pho broth but they gave it a 9 out of ten! Spring rolls are huge, only get 2 (can be shared).

This place was on my bookmarks for a year and I finally got a chance to try it out! I loved the interior and the little decors that made the restaurant unique. There were so many items on the menu and I wish there were some pictures of the items to make it easier to choose!! We got the pho & jjampong which were SO GOOD! Unfortunately the side dish of beansprouts were not very fresh so we didnt use it in our soup. The jjampong was super yummy! Loved the broth it was very flavorful and spicy.

I am baffled by the highly positive reviews for this restaurant. My experience was not good. The older lady who took my order which was more than $20 asked if I wanted my change? I said, "I guess not." Ha ha. But I thought I'd get my to go order promptly in return. I was wrong. It sat on a rack for at least eight minutes before a younger waitress asked my name and brought it to me. The quality of the dinner didn't match the price. The beef was fatty and over-boiled and they were chintzy with the vegetables. There were literally about four tiny, tiny strands of carrot in the meal. No condiments were provided, not even soy sauce in my to go order. I don't like to have to leave a negative review but I feel it's my responsibility to report this so that they might do better in the future for other patrons.

i have been to this restaurant a couple times and the food quality has never disappointed. The pho is really good and the service is always welcoming.

Food ate first lol !! We ordered the Korean bbq fries and Pad thai! AMAZING SERVICE AND FOOD . everything is so authentic and I'm Asian myself. Best southeast asian restaurant in town!! 10/10 would come back again!

The food was DELICIOUS and can compete with Houston restaurants. We got the salt and pepper fries as an appetizer and it was DELICIOUS! I would highly recommend this place. The service was also really good.

My boyfriend and I ordered to-go from this place last year during peak COVID. I believe we ordered the curry and the bibimbap. We were underwhelmed with the flavors of our dishes and never went back until a few weeks ago. We decided to give it another try since the reviews seemed promising. Big mistake. Beef spring rolls: (4/5) they are massive which justifies the price. The beef was tasty and the veggies were fresh. I also enjoyed the added crunch. The peanut sauce was yummy. Drunken noodles: (1/5) the main take away from this dish is it severely lacked the delicious UMAMI flavor Asian inspired dishes typically have. It was very strange and hard to describe but it completely lacked depth of flavor and it didn't taste "asian". Didn't enjoy this one at all. Thai chili basil with beef and shrimp: (1/5) the same thing with this dish. It was sorely lacking in depth of flavor. Didn't have umami taste. The only thing I tasted was lots of salt. It was not appetizing. The service was good and the ambiance of this place is nice but sadly, the food did not live up to the hype. We were completely thrown off by our dishes and will not be returning for a 3rd try. :(

Great food try the Mongolian master with beef. The other items on the menu are very good also. The fried wings are exceptionally good. Worth giving this place a try.

This place is everything prior reviews say. There are so many choices on the menu m, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese. We had the avocado spring rolls, pork egg rolls, beef drunken noodles (pad kee mao), and Thai curry chicken. Everything was delicious. The drunken noodles were some of the best I have had anywhere.

Excellent food, I was surprised at the variety! I ordered a spicy kimchi udon noodle soup with chicken, combination pho, and chicken lettuce wrap, and all were delicious! They have Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean dishes all on their menu!! Food and service was surprisingly quick and dishes tasted hearty, authentic and flavorful. I would recommend giving Lei Kitchen a try!

One of the best, if not THE best Asian food in Corpus. They have something for everyone, and the food is fresh, flavorful, generously portioned. The staff is always accommodating & nice. Amazing for dine in or take out. Highly recommend the beef vermicelli salad!

Our party of four adults wanted to try a different Asian place so we chose this tiny restaurant near Weber and Saratoga. It only has about 12 small tables but was bustling when we arrived. We were greeted, given a large menu and then gave our smiling waitress our drink orders. The menu is extensive with familiar Chinese selections plus pho, Thai dishes, Korean dishes, Vietnamese dishes, Japanese dishes and interesting choices like salads and vermicelli bowls. We chose dumplings and soup for appetizers, then seafood fried rice, cashew nut chicken, snow pea beef and chicken lo mein for our entrees. Each plate was delicious, the best Asian food we have had in some time. Huge portions, every veggie was fresh and sauces were excellent. The soup was good (could've been a bit warmer in temperature) and the dumplings were full of meat as were the eggrolls. This tiny place is very clean; no junk on the floors, no tables waiting to be cleaned. They do a brisk takeout business too. Our waitress was very efficient, knew the menu and was kind enough to ask the chef about a couple of special requests from our table. They do have beer and wine available. They have a sign near the cash register that states "Due to inflation we have been forced to increase our prices. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for supporting our business." Prices are high. Total for four entrees, four soups, an order of eggrolls, an order of dumplings, three teas and one water was $94.61 without tip. We did have enough leftovers though for another meal! We will be back soon.

Popped in around noon on a Wednesday with a craving for dumplings. I've ordered DoorDash from here before but this was my first time inside. It was bumpin people wise and music wise, a little on the loud side but the playlist was energetic and a good vibe for an afternoon rush. The menu is large and making a decision was the hardest part of the experience. I went with the steamed dumplings, the Korean Fried Chicken wings with a side of Kimchi. Dumplings were not as hot as I would have liked but delicious. Wings were fantastic, the sauce is a perfect balance of hot and sweet and they were crunchy while also being very saucy. The side of kimchi was tasty I do wish the portion was a bit bigger for $6. Service was also pretty good for the lunch rush. Can't wait to try more of the menu!

Something for everyone. Went with a group of 6, and have a lot of personalities in our group and everyone was pleased. Waitress was extremely attentive and informative. Phenomenal General Tso's chicken and hunan chicken. Best soup ever! Tom Yum soup was unmatched. Really everything we had was delicious with great flavors and well enjoyed. Reasonable prices for the large portions that are served. Would absolutely recommend, and will be back!

Tried Singapore Mei Fun. Too greasy and salty ! 5 bucks we've added to make it $21 . The most expensive Singapore Mei fun I have eaten. Service was bad. Water was not refilled and waitress came back three times to ask for payment. The restaurant was not busy but I have to leave because of waitress.

Tried Lei Kitchen based on a friend's recommendation. Now we're going to be GOOD friends because this place is GREAT! Great food, great service, great prices. We got there in prime time for the dinner hour. There are probably about a couple dozen tables inside so be forewarned. There were still a few available, but I could see where they could fill up quick. The menu is pretty diverse - covering many regions of Asia, along with some "fusion" choices. There are also the standard, Chinese American food options; General this, Orange that, Sesame this.... But, I go for outside-the-box and they've got it. I ordered the Spicy Thai Udon Noodles with chicken. The plate came loaded with good chunks of celery, onion, bok choy, carrot and very moist, tender chicken. And underneath was fresh, tender udon noodles. All in a spicy garlic sauce. Outfreakinstanding!! My wife ordered the Bun Thit Ga (Vietnamese Rice Noodle Salad with grilled chicken). It came with an excellent helping of chicken and avocado on the salad. Bonus! You normally don't see avocado on there. It works well! The nuoc cham sauce that comes with it is quite tasty as well. As mentioned, I'm looking forward to coming back (often) and trying the other dishes. There's so many, I know I'll be happy for quite a while.

OMG......I can't believe its taken me this long to go here. I pass it everyday and only after reading reviews did I make a point to stop in. All is so good, so so fresh. Great service. I was a bit thrown off on what to order Alice was a gem and so helpful. The spring rolls are huge!!! So delish. You have got to try this. My plate was a hunan style with chicken n shrimp, cooked to perfection. The chicken is so very tender & tasty. The egg drop soup was yummm.! Only wish my entree had more shrimp. I paid extra and it only included 2 shrimp. Just great food! Going back for sure. You must try this place.

Update: I went here again the other day I was fine, then when I sat down and drank their Thai tea, not sure what they poured in it, spoiled milk or dish washing liquid or something but I got the worst stomach bug. The pho was ok. I noticed it was that because I didn't finish the drink then later on the next day after I felt better I finished that drink and felt the Same weird way again. And felt sick and wanting to throw up and have diarrhea or something. It was weird.

Found this hidden gem recommended by a friend. Excellent service and food. Had the shrimp spring roll & chicken fried rice. So very good.

The food was fantastic, I was in town and accidently ended up here and the food was amazing. I went back the next day and took my sister and she raved about the food. The waitresses were amazing, the service was quick and efficient. The vibe was great. I will come here everything I am in town. Kudos to the chef, I wanted to bring him out for a round of applause. Thank you

I enjoyed to food and the service is great. I highly recommend this place! Bulgogi Bipimbap is one of my favorites.

Food was not very good I ordered soup and told them no onions and when they took it back it felt like they just took them out on top and gave me the same bowl back and it still had onions but the broccoli on my other meal was raw and unenjoyable the only thing good was the wait staff but other than that would not recommend

Food is always good. I love their summer rolls. They have great soups and I really like their Bi Bin Bap. They are always friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Not a fancy place but good food.

OMG! The best pepper steak Bahn Mí sandwich I've ever had. So delicious!! Staff was friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend.

The best we've had in the area. My wife liked the Pad Thai and like the Vermecelli Pork Salad. The spring rolls were huge. We'll be going back before we leave. BTW. the place has video screens place around the dining area with the most yummy videos, all cooking some great goodies.

Amazing food and great service! Everything was hot and freshly made, this place is a must! We will be going back soon!

Great food and great service. The food was very tasty and was prepared when ordered. Everything seemed fresh. The black people ribeye steak was tender and tasty. Amidst yry

Highly recommended items throughout the menu. Great staff and team. Never disappointing

My husband and I went to this restaurant for the first time recently and it was great! The portions are HUGE so you will definitely need to go boxes. The food was amazing!! I'd definitely recommend trying this place out.

Delicious! Excellent service - when in town will ask for Cindy - very personable and just the right touch of conversation, provided excellent options for our tastes. Pho - one of the best Combo spring roll - huge - perfect blend of flavors and texture. Hope to visit again on next trip to CC.

The food is amazing, we are from AZ visiting, and have been looking for buns since a NY trip. omg they are amazing. Totally will recommend the soup and buns. Will come again.

They have the BEST curry in Corpus! I've had a lot of different Currys here in town and by far the best one! I order here at least once a week! The Thai red curry I recommend to everyone! Also the rainbow Teriyaki is like a big sushi roll on a plate!! Delicious! I work in hotels so when guest ask for any recommendations I send this way!!

This place has great food and is good for children, though there isn't really space for strollers. Every plate I've ordered has been good, but they are perpetually understaffed. I feel for the waitresses. You can be standing with the hostess placing your order and she will stop, answer the phone and start taking someone else's order. It's pretty chaotic in there. I recommend the honey walnut shrimp. The sauces here are amazing. Tons of flavor and an extensive menu.

Love this place! The atmosphere is amazing (the music can be weird sometimes ‍), I love the videos they play on their screens, and the food is outstanding! Haven't found a thing I don't like to eat there.

Small place but the best food! Service is quick and friendly. Always a go to when I'm in town.

Lei Kitchen off of Saratoga in Corpus. This place was a gem! We went at lunch, and while service seemed slow- I honestly think it's because everything was cooked fresh. We ordered spring rolls and Far East nachos for appetizers. The spring rolls had fresh grilled pork and were served still warm. Not those prepped and chilled spring rolls you get elsewhere.(they were also twice the size of the normal spring rolls, as you can see in the photo both had already been eaten on lol) The Far East nachos were absolute flavor bombs and could honestly be a meal itself. My boyfriend ordered the beef, bok choy and mushroom plate. A simple plate but was absolutely delicious. And I ordered the beef lo mein, also amazing in flavor. Both plates came with the most delicious egg drop soup. A hearty robust flavor, probably one of the best egg drop soups I've had. If you have time to check this little place out, I highly recommend it. We had 4 dishes and an order of egg rolls all for only $37. They have a huge menu, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
