Great food with large portions! We ordered take out, and immediately when we got inside the restaurant we knew it was going to be good. Atmosphere was cozy and the food on the tables looked amazing and as I mentioned huge portions. The only thing would make it better would be to have additional spice levels for the noodles, we got Lo Mien and Drunken Noodles and wished they had a little more flavor/spice. But overall still delicious. We will be going back

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

Great asian restaurant: Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese all in one. Had the spicy stir fried Ramen and it was excellent. Also a side of garlic bokchoy. Plenty to take home. Easy to find, friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend.

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.

Don't get me wrong for the most part this restaurant is amazing. They seem to go through a lot of servers there and they just don't quite know the system of that restaurant when we get them. The food is amazing, definitely overlook the service for the quality of food we get. And to be fair, the last time we went, last night, the service was amazing. And anybody reading this, it's not like we've gone there a couple of times, my wife and I have probably eaten at this restaurant well over 20 times. It is literally our favorite restaurant in Corpus Christi Texas. And if you're wondering, the the chili rock shrimp is my favorite and my wife's is the honey chili chicken. The loaded onion rings is fantastic and I have gotten that as my meal before to.

Clean little place. Waitress was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. She was also patient with us since it was our first time visiting. The portions are enormous for the price. Everything is cooked to order. I ordered the broccoli wok stir fry with fried rice. Crab ragoon and egg rolls were ordered as well. Large portions, fresh, made to order, and both came with a sauce that was a dark red sweet raspberry type flavor. Definitely will be going back, but will share an entree next time.

This is a cute little Asian fusion spot, and it really impressed me. The food was flavorful and delicious, with generous portion sizes that make it well worth the visit. The soup was especially nice, rich in flavor and comforting. Service was quick, responsive, and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu. Overall, a fantastic dining experience.

I eat here a lot! And when I get it to go is when they usually mess up my order. When I eat there, the service is really good. I have no complaints. The waitresses are attentive and always check on you which is always a good plus I usually get the Singapore Street noodles And those are really good. I've been tried the pho yet, but I want to the place itself is really cool kind of relaxing when it's not busy but when it's busy, it's loud but that's good for the The restaurant. Always support local.

We went last night for dinner food is so good.. service not so great. They were busy ...our server was nice but couldn't keep up. She was juggling multiple tables. Our drinks weren't refilled promptly. She was nice but I believe she was overwhelmed. We sat at a small table. Had appetizers and she never came for our plates to accommodate our dinner plates. This was a small Table and it was crowded. We stacked the dirty plates so we could eat. Granted they don't have bussers. Servers need to stay in top of that. I don't care to eat with dirty plates in front of me. Yuk...our favorite server Alice was not available...she's the best and spoils us !! Took most of my deal to go. Found it difficult to eat on a crowded table

They served crab Rangoon without crab. Plus didn't have pork fried rice. The soup was served with very little chips.

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.

The Pho is delicious, a 4 star. The rest of the menu is so so. If you are wanting something other than soup, go elsewhere.

Chris C.

Yelp
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.

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.

Caramia A.

Yelp
The food here was good, but unfortunately the hospitality completely ruined the experience. Our server did not seem to know what she was doing and was very inconsiderate. She made multiple mistakes with our order and then essentially told us to deal with it and still pay for the incorrect items. There was no accountability or attempt to fix the issue, which was extremely frustrating. Good food isn't enough to make up for poor service and lack of professionalism. I wouldn't return because of the service alone.

Madero T.

Yelp
if i dont give the 5 stars is because most of the time the service is bad but the food is totally worth the time and service, in my opinion the best pho and soups in CC.

Pregnant and craved chinese food and so I ordered off uber eats and it gave me food poisoning. I got General Tso's chicken, egg drop soup, and egg rolls I don't know which did it but i suspect it was the chicken.

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.

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.

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!

Sharon A.

Yelp
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.

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.‍

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.

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).

Came here maybe 2yrs ago while my wife and I was on vacation. Tried this spot at random and so happy we did. I had got 2 different flavors of wings, I believe the thai basil peanut and the chili rock flavors. Both were bomb but the chili rock was my favorite. I also got Lo mein which im picky bout but it was real good like how it used to be back in fhe day real flavorful not dry but not to greasy either. We returned this past weekend to find everything just as good as it was a couple years ago. Im not from texas but have lived in Houston for the past decade and this is still my favorite asian food ive had in all of texas. Maybe even back home in Fl too. wish it was closer to me lol

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. :(

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

The food is almost always good. However the waitstaff can be the worst. The menu advertises a choice of soup with the lunch menu, if you don't ask for it they don't offer it and then expect a generous tip.

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.
